You’d never risk your life for no reason—there must be a valid explanation.” Han Li asked, now composed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing his opponent’s anger vanish so quickly and his rationality return, Li Feiyu felt a faint pang of regret, but put on a pitiful, wronged expression, wailing loudly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Heavens! I’m truly wronged!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Just now I was about to explain to you, but you didn’t give me a single chance to speak!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Now you’re blaming me—I’m caught between a rock and a hard place!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His exaggerated, odd-sounding complaints were so fake that anyone could see through the act at a glance, giving off a strong sense that he deserved a good beating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Li could barely contain himself, wanting to step forward and kick him into a dog-eating-dirt posture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Stop acting like a fool and explain yourself right now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You think you can get away with this scoundrelly behavior? Aren’t you afraid your adoring junior brothers will see you? If they catch you slouching like this, all the cool, ruthless killer image you’ve built up will crumble to dust.” Han Li gave him a cold look, lightly mocking him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He simply had no patience for fooling around—this matter, mishandled, could bring them both immense trouble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Feiyu seemed to understand what Han Li was thinking, so he stopped retorting to the mockery, instead strolled lazily over to the pile of packages, bent down, and idly picked up a manual, then stood up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once upright again, he wore a faint mysterious gleam, smirking as he handed the book to Han Li and signaled with his eyes for him to open the cover and take a look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Li took the thin manual without thought, glancing at him with confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was utterly baffled, unable to fathom what trick Li Feiyu was up to.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Open it and you’ll understand everything,” Li Feiyu coaxed him in a tone full of mischief, eager to watch the show.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why not just tell me outright? Why all this mystery?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though Han Li’s face was full of reluctance, he still flipped open the pages.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as he opened the cover, the first page was revealed—clearly printed in black ink on white paper: “Blinking Sword Manual.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmm!” Han Li was slightly startled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first manual Li Feiyu handed him was exactly what he wanted—this surprised him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t be so quick to be amazed—take a look at these books too,” Li Feiyu immediately tossed over several more manuals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Li caught them one by one, quickly flipped through each, and froze in utter shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the first page of every single book, the same three characters—“Blinking Sword Manual”—were plainly written in black ink.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a long while, Han Li finally tore his gaze away from the books in his hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He raised his head, pointed at the mountain of manuals on the ground, and asked haltingly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You… you’re not telling me… all of these… are ‘Blinking Sword Manuals’?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Regrettably, Han junior brother, you’ve guessed correctly,” the other replied, shrugging and spreading his hands, feigning helplessness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet his slightly upturned lips and the gleeful tone in his voice completely contradicted his words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is impossible! There are nearly a hundred books here—how could they all be Blinking Sword Manuals?” Han Li, ignoring the trickery, demanded incredulously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You ask me? Who am I supposed to ask?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“When I first stumbled upon this many manuals with the same title in the library corner, I was shocked myself!” Li Feiyu rolled his eyes, muttering as if still shaken by the experience.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, seeing Han Li’s dumbfounded silence, he couldn’t help bursting into loud laughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To Li Feiyu, Han Li’s startled, dumbfounded expression was a rare spectacle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Normally, Han Li always stood before him calm and composed, as if the word “astonished” simply didn’t exist in his vocabulary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, seeing Han Li so blank and foolish, Li Feiyu felt all his recent efforts had been worth every moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a moment, Han Li finally came to his senses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clutching the books tightly in his hands, he lowered his head, pondered briefly, then raised his face, thoughtful and unhurried, and spoke:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Have you counted these books?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How many are there?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course I counted them—not just once. Exactly seventy-four manuals with the same title,” Li Feiyu replied immediately, giving the exact number without hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If I didn’t know the exact count, and we returned them missing even one or two, it would be a real disaster,” he added, offering a slight justification.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gently pinching the slightly yellowed pages, Han Li slowly turned them, carefully reading through the manual in his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>WwW.feiazw.CoM\u003C\u002Fp>",861,"2026-06-20T21:12:45.940Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","ef6fc20069c0d012a23799982ad645ed534f60755e1caef8bd9e7664a00516c9","a-mortal-s-journey-to-immortality-chapter-37","a-mortal-s-journey-to-immortality-chapter-35",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fa-mortal-s-journey-to-immortality-cover.jpg"]
