The clear light of the autumn day shone both inside and outside the library It was very peaceful

Suddenly, a voice spoke This voice was very old, calraceful voice, leisurely and unoppressive, a voice that inspired trust

Eunuch Lin said, "I knohat you are thinking You think that His Majesty has been co three days to send out this decree, for the Orthodox Acade But you are wrong This is truly a decree personally drafted by His Majesty, because…he wishes to protect you"

As he spoke, he never took his eyes off the youth by the , as if he was trying to see through him Yet this youth displayed no reaction No matter what he heard, he kept his head lowered in silence How could there be no response? It could be gratitude, disbelief, ridicule, or anger, or so these words, shouldn't there have been soe?

The library remained quiet Perhaps it was precisely because of this silence that Eunuch Lin said nothing, did not read out the decree, and instead allowed the silence to persist

After quite so out theat the cool and refreshing autumn scenes

Three days had passed since the momentous battle upon the Mausoleum of Books, but his face was still very pale and he had clearly gotten much thinner His expression, however, was still very caler on his face, no frustration or helplessness, only calm

Because of the pensive look on his face, his clear and young features seemed even more composed He was not, as once assessed by the common people, an old-fashioned youth, but had truly s, overcohts Anyone would s, the gaze Eunuch Lin aiht yellow imperial decree had already been taken fro it like a spear in his hands

"You knohy I have co pause, Eunuch Lin continued, "I am here to take the Empress's body away"

The library was still quiet The autuh theand freely traveled amidst the bookshelves and floorboards

"And then?" Chen Changsheng asked

In these three days and nights, he had not eaten, had not drunk, and had not opened his mouth, until now

He spoke very slowly and his voice was very hoarse, just like sands that had been baked under the autuazed at hi shook his head "I spoke earlier If I didn't speak, hoould you have been able to co out the , at the yellowing lawn, the chilled autureat banyan tree by the lake His voice was very calm as if devoid of ehtest derision, because he was just giving a very cool-headed and objective explanation

However, Eunuch Lin was greatly discoht on his chest

This was a fact Although less, it was still a fact that it was he who had let Su Moyu open the Orthodox Acade to do with Eunuch Lin, nor did it have much to do with the i

As a certain youth had said three years ago in the Plu were both people that made others speechless

The library becaain spoke

"Yes, but you still spoke Just as how not everyone is willing to die together with the Orthodox Acade

"The Orthodox Academy is not Star Seizer Academy The rules of the academy aren't too strict and there are no ethics that need to be adhered to This is a place of study; what right is there to require these things?"

Chen Changsheng bore no ill will towards those teachers and students that had left the Orthodox Acadeive this explanation to the old eunuch

"And then?" he asked, looking out theat the autumn scenery

This was a repetition, a reinforcement Importantly, this was the question he wanted an answer for
