CHAPTER 197: CHAPTER 196: JOURNEY FOR SCRIPTURES

Over here, Wang Qingya had just hung up from the video call.

Over there, Xu Lingjun couldn’t wait to dial Su Huanqing’s number, eagerly like a scumbag who just got off his wife and couldn’t wait to find his mistress.

And on the other side, it seemed they were also very eager.

The call was answered immediately after just one ring...

So fast that Xu Lingjun couldn’t help but wonder if the other person had been holding the phone, hesitating to contact me, yet too shy to do so.

And once the video was connected.

On the other side, a naturally luxurious and beautiful girl wearing a Cloud Silk Coat, with her long hair cascading down, and a short skirt underneath, leaving her long and slender beautiful legs completely exposed.

Noticing Xu Lingjun’s wide-eyed stare...

She felt a bit embarrassed and tugged at her skirt, blushing, and asked sweetly, "Does it look good?"

Xu Lingjun: "............"

"It’s... a bit short."

He felt like this line seemed a bit familiar.

Su Huanqing explained, "I don’t have to wear such a short skirt, it’s just that I feel this matches best; you gave me such a precious thing, I felt it was necessary to show you how I look wearing it... um... I spent half a month’s salary on this skirt, so just showing it to you is fine, wearing it out wouldn’t be appropriate, it’s too... too cold."

She tugged harder.

The tugging made Xu Lingjun want to ask where exactly it felt cold for her.

"Um..."

Some of Wang Qingya’s mental activities were naturally not suitable for use with Su Huanqing.

After all, this was his teacher.

Even though Xu Lingjun understood what surprise Father Wang had given him, no wonder Sister Yaya’s coat that was supposed to reach her knees became hip-length, realizing Father Wang had probably split it into two.

It was really challenging for Su Huanqing; if her chest were even slightly bigger, wearing this coat might actually make her look thinner.

He cleared his throat a few times, quickly bringing the topic back on track, and asked, "Did Father Wang mention that you’re very interested in Britain’s history?"

"Yes, that’s right."

Su Huanqing took small steps to sit down carefully with her knees together.

Her shy actions were like a good student.

She replied, "I’m now a Bishop level Tutor, and to be promoted to Professor level Tutor, I need a recognized paper or discovery. My tutor recommended that I study ancient history, and then I accidentally discovered this ’Brief History of Britain.’ According to my tutor, this book could indeed be a true ancient history, so I want to find the author, Mr. Vise, to ask..."

Xu Lingjun said, "I wrote this book."

Su Huanqing was stunned, surprised, "Are you saying you’re Vise?"

"Well... no... actually not... but there’s no doubt that I wrote this book."

Xu Lingjun couldn’t help but silently curse, how on earth did I come up with that name back then?

Thinking of the king made me think of a vise, so I just wrote that name down.

And now being called by it feels kind of strange...

Su Huanqing pleaded, "Then... can you tell me in detail about the history you know?"

"Sure, it’s my duty to do so!"

Xu Lingjun said earnestly, "Since Teacher Su has a need, I naturally have to satisfy it."

"You don’t have to call me Instructor Su... I wasn’t even your tutor for long, and you still call me that, it sounds weird to me, especially since I have to seek your expertise."

Su Huanqing, a bit awkward, tugged at the collar of her coat, and mumbled, "I’m good friends with Xiaoya, you can just call me Xiaoqing like him."

"Okay, Instructor Su."

Su Huanqing sighed helplessly, and said, "Then I’ll start."

"Okay, don’t worry, everything written in the book is true. I also learned about the contents by chance, but in fact, the real essence wasn’t written due to limited space. Since you need these essences, I will definitely give them all to you."

Xu Lingjun said seriously, "Ask away."

"Okay, I heard from Uncle Wang there’s something called the Sword of Oath and Victory, how is it related to the Golden Sword of Victory mentioned in the book?"

"The Golden Sword of Victory is the sword King Arthur lost forever, and the Sword of Oath and Victory is the weapon she later received from the Maiden of the Lake, serving as a replacement after losing the Golden Sword of Victory, but it’s more powerful. Of course, there may be legends mixed in history, you have to understand... many problems in history that cannot be explained by facts can only be explained through legends."

"I understand, do you know the specific details?"

"I do, I’ll give you my answer right now."

Xu Lingjun explained in detail the differences between the Golden Sword of Victory and the Sword of Oath and Victory.

"So that’s how it is."

Su Huanqing came to a sudden realization, saying, "I thought they were the same sword, but always felt something was off... So this is the explanation. Then, did King Arthur really have a child with his sister?"

"No, actually she was being used."

Xu Lingjun explained very fluently.

These pieces of knowledge to him were old hat, the legend added with historical records even appeared more realistic due to their absurdity... especially many Middle Ages Level habits and so on, exactly matched with those discovered ancient documents by professors, this isn’t fake.

Afterward, Su Huanqing asked many questions, involving everything from habits to personal privacy, covering a wide range.

And in order to enhance the authenticity of the Sword of Oath and Victory, Xu Lingjun answered the questions more and more seriously, and thanks to the extensive use of Life No.1, his memory was greatly improved, many memories forgotten in his previous life have surfaced, otherwise, he might not have been able to answer.

Su Huanqing listened intently while taking notes.

The two chatted all night...

When Su Huanqing had filled an entire notebook, she finally sighed in satisfaction, saying, "You gave me a lot of what I wanted; now all my previous doubts have been explained by you, thank you, Xu... um... Xiaojun."

Xu Lingjun’s expression was quite comfortable, obviously not expecting that the Sword of Oath and Victory would ultimately be bestowed upon Su Huanqing.

He smiled, "You’re welcome."

"In that case, I can submit this data to my tutor."

Su Huanqing smiled, "In fact, as long as a piece of undiscovered history can be entirely self-consistent, even if no evidence is found, it’s enough to be selected into the national library. After all, if it can be made up, but even small habits and trivial customs can be made vivid, that’s an ability too."

Xu Lingjun said earnestly, "I swear on my life, I didn’t make up anything."

Even if it were made up, it would be Mushroom who did it, not me.

"Of course, I believe you."

Su Huanqing smiled, "By then, this history will be repeatedly scrutinized and reviewed by my tutor and other professors. As long as it’s confirmed genuine, with their recommendations, I can be promoted to professor level. Um... actually, it would be great if you were around, you know more than me... How about this, if you don’t mind, would it be alright if I come to visit you personally during the final review?"

"Of course, I’m more than happy to oblige."

Xu Lingjun laughed, "Just make sure to bring a few thick clothes, it’s very cold here, you don’t have Martial Arts Technique, and buying clothes when you get here is expensive."

After saying this, he confusedly scratched his head, feeling... how this also seemed to be something he’d heard before somewhere.

"Is it very expensive? I’ll take note."

Su Huanqing nodded, then blushed, she said seriously, "Rest assured, I’ll inform Xiaoya in advance about visiting you, so you don’t have to feel troubled, I won’t do anything behind Xiaoya’s back... I’m not that kind of person, please don’t think of me that way."

Xu Lingjun was puzzled about what she wanted to do.

But seeing Su Huanqing’s appearance, it wasn’t convenient to ask questions, so he just nodded along.

Su Huanqing laughed, "By the way, thank you for the coat, really... I’ll think of ways to return the favor. Um... It might not match in value, but it will absolutely be something precious to me."

"Oh."

Xu Lingjun responded, knowing that he couldn’t turn down the reciprocal gift she would definitely give.

The reason for not wanting to send her the Cloud Silk was precisely this, giving her something meant she’d have to reciprocate, but in fact, to her tight financial situation, receiving gifts from others might be a surprise to them, but for her, it’s accompanied by pressure.

It’s really admirable how she could cultivate such a deep relationship with Sister Yaya... Though a bit finicky, her trait of not wanting to take advantage of others isn’t bad, I hope she can strengthen and deepen her relationship with Sister Yaya.

Xu Lingjun also hopes that his future wife can have a few good-natured sisters, which is beneficial for her too, it’s not always about being close with just her husband, sometimes being close with her sisters is a different kind of flavor after all.
