Chapter 36: Shock

Seeing Han Li throwing a tantrum, Li Feiyu didn't get angry and remained completely indifferent.

He tilted his head, stuck his little finger into his ear, and focused on picking his ear, with an expression of "let the soldiers come, let the water be blocked."

After Han Li had finished his tantrum, seeing that the other's skin was as thick as a city wall and that he seemed to have heard nothing, he calmed down, feeling that there was something fishy about this matter.

"You're not a fool, nor are you an arrogant maniac. To do such a life-risking thing, there must be a reason." After calming down, Han Li asked.

Seeing that the other's anger had dissipated so quickly and that he had returned to his usual rationality, Li Feiyu felt a bit regretful, but he put on a wronged and pitiful look, shouting grievances repeatedly:

"Heavens! I'm truly wronged!"

"I wanted to explain it to you just now, but you didn't give me a chance to speak at all!"

"And now you're complaining about me again; I'm truly caught in the middle!"

This strange, whiny way of complaining was too fake, making one see through the essence of his pretense at a glance, giving one the feeling that he was truly asking for a beating.

Han Li couldn't help it either, wanting to step forward and kick him into a face-planting posture.

"Stop acting weird and explain it to me quickly."

"With your shameless look, aren't you afraid of being seen by those disciples who worship you? If they saw you in this lazy state, the cool, dashing image of a cold-blooded killer you've built up would all be shattered to pieces." Han Li didn't give him a good look, mocking him slightly.

He really wasn't in the mood to mess around with the other right now; if this matter wasn't handled well, both of them would be in huge trouble.

Li Feiyu seemed to understand what Han Li was thinking at this moment, so he didn't refute his mockery but lazily walked to the package, bent down, picked up a secret manual at random, and stood up.

After standing straight again, he had a mysterious glow on his face, handing the book to Han Li with a half-smile, and then signaled with his eyes for him to lift the cover and take a look.

Han Li took the thin secret manual and looked at the other in confusion.

He was a bit puzzled, not knowing what kind of trick Li Feiyu was playing.

"Open it and look, you'll understand everything." Li Feiyu lured him with a tone of wanting to watch a good show.

"Why not just say it directly? Why be so mysterious?"

Although Han Li was full of displeasure, he still lifted the book cover.

Upon opening the cover, the first page of the secret manual was revealed, with the four large characters "Blinking Sword Manual" clearly written in black ink on white paper.

"Hmm!" Han Li was slightly surprised.

The first book Li Feiyu handed him was the thing he wanted, which surprised him.

"Don't be shocked yet, come and look at these books." Li Feiyu immediately threw over several more secret manuals.

Han Li took them one by one, opened them, and quickly browsed through them, then stood there in astonishment.

On these books, in front of the main text of each one, the black characters "Blinking Sword Manual" were clearly written.

After a long while, Han Li finally pulled his gaze away from the books in his hands.

He looked up, pointed at the pile of secret manuals on the ground, and asked intermittently:

"You... don't tell me that... all of these are 'Blinking Sword Manuals'!"

"It's a pity, Han Shidi, you've already guessed it." The other shrugged his shoulders, spread his hands, and put on a helpless look on the surface.

Only the slightly raised corners of his mouth and the gloating tone in his words were completely inconsistent with the meaning of his words.

"That's impossible. There are nearly a hundred books here; how can they all be Blinking Sword Manuals?" Han Li couldn't care about the other's little tricks and questioned him in disbelief.

"You ask me, who do I ask?"

"When I saw so many secret manuals with the same name in the corner of the library, I was also quite shocked!" Li Feiyu rolled his eyes and muttered, showing a lingering fear.

Afterward, seeing Han Li's stunned and speechless posture, he couldn't help but laugh out loud.

For Li Feiyu, Han Li's shocked and surprised face was a rare spectacle.

Usually, Han Li was always calm and composed in front of him, as if the word "shock" would never appear on him.

And at this moment, Han Li's wooden, foolish appearance made Li Feiyu feel that the hard work of these days hadn't been in vain and was completely worth it.

After a while, Han Li finally woke up.

He clutched the books in his hands, lowered his head, and pondered for a while, then raised his thoughtful face and said unhurriedly:

"Have you counted these books?"

"How many are there in total?"

"Of course I've counted them, and not just once. There are seventy-four secret manuals with the same name." Li Feiyu immediately answered, reporting the exact number without hesitation.

"If I don't figure out the exact number of these books, and I accidentally miss one or two when returning them, that would really be a big problem." He then defended himself slightly.

With his fingers lightly pinching the slightly yellowed pages, Han Li slowly flipped them open and carefully browsed through one of the secret manuals in his hand.
