Chapter 8
: Book Pavilion
"You want to read?!" Sima Lie shouted aloud and started coughing as he choked on the food
afterwhich he stared at her with a bewildered expression. His huge reaction made the whole kitchen
focus on their Young Master, their interest piqued as they craned their necks and threw curious
nces over.
In fact, one couldnt really me them for their reactions as the other name Sima You Yue carried
with it was trash and having only attended the Academy for two days, other than recognizing a few
words, a book had never been seen in this Young Master''s delicate hands, not to mention reading a
whole book! A sudden mention of ''wanting to read a whole book'' and ''going to the Book Pavilion''
was shocking news indeed.
"Cough, cough." Sima Lie readjusted his mood and returned to his usual calm demeanor and said:
"Since you want to have a look, lets go have a look."
As soon as he said it, he strode out of the kitchen inrge steps as Sima You Yue quickly followed
behind. They came before arge courtyard with three-storey building.
It was a simple looking building built in the middle of a in looking yard, no one would have
guessed that this inconspicuous building would be the Book Pavilion .
"Here we are the Book Pavilion." Sima Lie introduced as he flipped his hands and arge key
suddenly appeared. After retrieving the key from his interspatial ring, he unlocked the door and
gently pushed it open as the scent of musty books greeted them.
This was the first time she had been here, although the book Pavilion was located in between her
courtyard and the main entrance, the past Sima You Yue had never once ventured in here.
"Here, this key belongs to you." Sima You Yue casually flipped his hands once again and retrieved
another key and handed it over to her.
All the other four brothers each had a key to this ce, however as she did not enjoy reading, this
key was never passed to her, for fear that she might lose it.
Sima You Yue took the key and put it in her pocket. She could not cultivate and had no spiritual
power hence she could not use the interspatial ring.
"Alright, go ahead and read whatever you want. Take your time, Ive still got some things that I have
to do, I''ll be in my study. If you need me, you know where to find me." Sima Lie turned to leave after
granting her ess.
Sima You Yue nodded and only after she watched his fading back did she turn to take a good look
at the interior.
Although she knew that there were some problems with her current body, there were still some
differences with the herbs and materials from her world and this, at least she hoped that they were
merely name differences. She needed to know more about the differences in the properties as well
and study these more thoroughly to be able to cure herself and rid of this ''trash''bel herself.
Sima You Yue gaped in wonder as she looked at the interior of the Book Pavilion, who would have
thought that the exterior which looked like any othermon building but the interior was
unexpectedly different! What attracted her attention most was that right in the middle of the Book
Pavilion, there was actually a grand spiral staircase, which connected all four storeys, and each
level had books that were ced in shelves that reached the ceiling. Such grandeur and splendour!
Moreover, the scale was totally different! From the outside it did not look as big as what she was
currently looking at. Surprisingly, the size of the first floor was asrge as that of a ser field.
Although each level got smaller, however the size of the top floor was still bigger than a basketball
court!
Oh wow, what sorcery is this?! This is simply too mysterious! Sima You Yue cried out in shock as
she tried topose herself. This had outrightly defied her logic andmon sense that she was
used to. Ever since she''s been in this world, everything had left her agape. Things that she had
''seen'' from her memories were still foreign to her and it felt as if she was watching everything from a
television and experiencing it herself still roused the adventurous spirit within her as her eyes
sparkled with excitement. She was particrly fascinated by the vast disparity of scale and
grandiose.
After she had finally regained herposure, she grew anxious. With so many books, where
should I even start looking? If I had known earlier, I should have asked Grandfather. She sighed
with regret as she looked on helplessly at the grand collection of books before her.
She started exploring the books on the shelves and after looking for a while, she discovered that the
books were arranged ording to different categories. If this row of books in this shelf was in one
category, that following ten rows were in the simr category.

Haha, found it! She cried out in relief. After scouring for an entire two hours, she had finally found
the category she had came here for! She earnestly started to look for the books she needed as she
carefullybed the shelves that housed the medical rted books.
She looked for quite some time until she found a book about the various herbs and materials for
medicine and discovered that this whole shelf had the same genre of books.
Her stomach rumbled and she touched her belly as she groaned in defeat. She quickly pulled out
several books and hugged them carefully and left the Book Pavilion, locking the door securely as
she left.
By this time, day had already turned to night and it waspletely dark outside. When Sima You
Yue returned to her own courtyard, Yun Yue and Chun Jian noticed that in the arms of their Young
Master were a pile of books. They hurried forward to assist, and asked: Young Master, would you
like to have dinner now?
Yes, I''m famished. Bring the meal directly into my room. Also, Yun Yue please pass the message to
my Grandfather that for the next two days, I will be dining in my own room and will not be joining the
family for meals.
Sima You Yue rubbed her belly before returning to her room.
Chun Jian immediately went into the kitchen to prepare dinner for Sima You Yue, while Yun Yue
brought the pile of books and ced them on the table before passing the message to Sima Lie.
Sima You Yue picked up a book and started reading, the books that she had selected this time
round were all very general and were introductions to the basics of herbs and materials that were
common in this world. It was a good start to help her identify the various herbs and materials and let
her have a grasp of the differences of the two worlds. In her previous world, her intelligence quotient
was higherpared with ordinary people, therefore whatever she studied took only a fraction of
time. In addition, she originally majored in the study of Traditional Chinese Medicine so she was
very familiar with the various herbs and properties. Moreover, she was just looking for the
differences in these aspects hence her reading speed was exceptionally fast.
By the time dinner was prepared, she had already flipped through more than half of the first book.
When Chun Jian came in with dinner saw that her Young Master was browsing the book in such a
flippant manner, she could not help but shook her head. It was evident her Young Master was not
reading it properly!
Young Master, your dinner is ready. Chun Jian ced the meal gently on the table.
Sima You Yue immediately put the book down, and her gaze rested on the dishes ced on the
table. Seeing that the steaming hot dishes that were visually enticing was a stark contrast with
meals before, she smacked her lips and gave a satisfied nod, and said: This is what I call a meal!
She guzzled her dinner down heartily and as soon as she was done, she called for the two maids to
clear the table and she continued to read into the night.
After she read finish the first book, she discovered that here, the ordinary materials for medicine
were simr to her previous world, but some had some minute discrepancies. For example, the
name was different, or some had simr properties, but there were also some unfamiliar names that
she came across.
However she discovered that this set of books that she had brought back was from the same shelve
and it was further segregated into the simr materials and properties. Realizing this, she quickly
looked up ording to each particr material and herb and studied them carefully.
Luckily I went through these books first! Almost half of the names are different from before..
Sima You Yue stretched her bodyzily and stifled a yawn as she looked at the prescription she had
written down before realizing that dawn was soon approaching.
Because she did not manage to get a good sleepst night, and she worked hard throughout this
entire night, after she rxed, her felt her eyelids were extremely heavy. She crawled to bed and as
soon as her head touched the pillow, and she fell into a deep slumber.
Tonight, she did not have a single dream, and by the time she woke up, it was already noon. When
she opened her eyes, she looked around groggily as her eyes focused on the ancient pattern of the
mosquito. For a moment there, she thought that she was dreaming.
Rumble -
The hungry belly started to protest, making her consciousness slowly return, as memories shed
in her mind reminding her where she was. She put a hand and touched her forehead, and muttered:
So this is not a dream.
She finally rolled out of bed, washed up and changed. Chun Jian quickly prepared lunch and
brought it into the room. After lunch, she took the prescription that she had painstakingly written
downst night and walked towards Sima Lie''s study.
When Sima Lie saw Sima You Yue, he was somewhat surprised. Wasn''t it onlyst night that she
said that the next two days she would be busy reading in her own room? Why was she out so
soon? She couldn''t sit still for just two days? Ordid anything happen?
Grandfather, I have a matter to ask you. She straightened her back and looked at him earnestly.
"What is the matter? When Sima Lie saw Sima You Yue''s serious appearance, he waved his hands
and signaled for the bodyguards to exit.
Sima You Yue pulled a chair and sat down across from his desk and said: Grandfather, do you know
why cant I cultivate?
