The Emperor Wants To Marry The Doctor

ry, but that’s all the time I have for today.”

They knew, without a doubt, that Cheng Han was evading them.
However, they had no choice except to leave.

Once they were gone, Cheng Han finally sighed with relief as he invited Mo Cang into his residence.

The elder asked tentatively, “Director, things didn’t go as smoothly as you thought?”

Cheng Han was beyond frustrated.
“Yang Jianqing and Heng Jingchuo are already dead! How am I supposed to search for clues when we can’t even find their corpses? The investigators are here, yet they couldn’t find anything.
They even have the gall to accuse me of harboring the culprit!”

Cheng Han felt aggrieved.
Everyone knew about the investigators’ presence, and it was a major incident.
He couldn’t just send the two men packing without a valid reason.

The director massaged his temple.
“Let’s not talk about this anymore.
Tell me, why have you come?”

The long walk had diminished Elder Mo Cang’s wrath and turned it into unease and frustration.
On his way here, he came up with a speech to break the news to Cheng Han.

Chu Liuyue had caused the director and Tai Yan Academy a great deal of embarrassment.
This matter was the last straw.

After careful deliberation, Mo Cang decided to come clean to the director.
“Chu Liuyue is currently reading an Earth-stage warrior technique book in the library.”

Cheng Han’s face froze instantly.

His reaction was within Mo Cang’s expectations.
“Director, please don’t worry yourself about this.”

“Which book was it?” Cheng Han was anxious to know.

Mo Cang took a moment to recall the title.
“I think… it’s Jingshen Finger.
The inferior—”

Bang!

Cheng Han stood up so abruptly that he toppled his chair.
He then grabbed Mo Cang at the collar.
“What did you say?”

The elder repeated his words with much difficulty.
“The… i-inferior book.
Fortunately, she has stopped browsing the rest and is concentrating on this one.”

Hong!

Cheng Han pushed him away with a shove.

Mo Cang staggered and hit the wall.

The tremendous impact almost dislocated the elder’s shoulder.
Nevertheless, he showed no sign of displeasure.

After he rubbed his shoulder, he saw Cheng Han stride away furiously.

“Director!” Stunned, Mo Cang followed quickly.

As he ran, he recalled the director’s earlier reaction. Cheng Han seems to take this matter very seriously.
Chu Liuyue’s perusal of an Earth-stage warrior technique book shouldn’t warrant such a huge reaction from him.

The elder frowned and ran after the director.

…

Chu Liuyue sat cross-legged in the library.

A book floated in mid-air before her, the pages flipping slowly.

Her eyes were trained on the lines of words and the drawings while she memorized the book.

Jingshen Finger—although it was inferior Earth-stage, the book was considered a treasure in this library.

It touched on the technicalities of fingering.

Nobody could master this skill in a short time.
Chu Liuyue planned to memorize the book before she started practicing it when she had more time.

For an ordinary warrior, one might have to read the book 100 times in order to understand the content before they started practicing.

But Chu Liuyue was different.
She had read various warrior technique books that were far more advanced than this one.
It shouldn’t take her long to finish.

Suddenly, she sensed something amiss when she was one-third into the book—the contents of Jingshen Finger were more complicated and obscure than the other books that she had read.
