Seeing Han Li lose his temper, Lì Fēiyǔ remained indifferent, his face showing no concern at all.

He tilted his head, inserted his pinky finger into his ear, and focused on digging in his ear, as if completely absorbed in his task and ignoring everything else.

After Han Li vented his anger, he calmed down when he noticed Lì Fēiyǔ's thick-skinned attitude, feeling that there must be some reason behind his reckless behavior.

"You're not a fool, nor are you arrogant. Doing something so reckless must have a reason behind it," Han Li asked after regaining his composure.

Seeing that Han Li's anger disappeared so quickly and he returned to his usual rational self, Lì Fēiyǔ felt a little regretful, but still put on a pitiful look, complaining:

"Oh my god! I'm really innocent!"

"Just now I wanted to explain to you, but you didn't give me a chance to speak!" Lì Fēiyǔ continued to protest. "And now you're blaming me. It's unfair!"

This exaggerated display of innocence seemed so fake that it was easy to see through, giving people the feeling that he was begging for a beating.

Han Li couldn't help but want to kick him into a dog-shit position.

"Stop acting up and explain it to me quickly," Han Li said, not hiding his disdain, mocking him slightly.

He wasn't in the mood to play around with Lì Fēiyǔ. If this matter wasn't handled properly, both of them would be in big trouble.

Lì Fēiyǔ seemed to understand what Han Li was thinking at the moment, so he didn't bother to argue against his sarcasm. Instead, he lazily walked to the package, bent down, casually picked up a manual, and stood up.

After straightening up, a hint of mystery appeared on his face. He smiled ambiguously, handed the book to Han Li, and gestured with his eyes for him to flip through the pages.

Han Li took the thin manual handed to him, looking at Lì Fēiyǔ with confusion.

He was a bit puzzled, wondering what trick Lì Fēiyǔ was playing.

"Just open it and see for yourself. You'll understand everything," Lì Fēiyǔ coaxed him in a tone that suggested he wanted to see a good show.

"Why can't you just say it directly instead of being so mysterious?" Han Li, although reluctant, still opened the book.

As soon as he opened the cover, he saw clearly written on the first page: "Blinking Sword Manual."

"Hmm!" Han Li was slightly surprised.

The first book Lì Fēiyǔ handed him was exactly what he wanted. This surprised him.

"Don't be shocked. Take a look at these other books," Lì Fēiyǔ continued to throw several manuals at Han Li.

Han Li accepted them one by one, quickly skimmed through them, and was stunned.

Each of these books had the words "Blinking Sword Manual" clearly written on the front page.

After a while, Han Li finally tore his gaze away from the books in his hands.

He raised his head, pointed at the large pile of manuals on the ground, and asked intermittently:

"You... you can't tell me... that all of these... are... all... 'Blinking Sword Manuals'?"

"Unfortunately, Han Junior Brother, you've guessed it right," Lì Fēiyǔ shrugged, spread his hands, and put on a helpless look.

However, the slight upward curve of his mouth and the tone of his words were completely inconsistent with his apparent helplessness.

"It's impossible. There are nearly a hundred books here. How could they all be Blinking Sword Manuals?" Han Li questioned, ignoring Lì Fēiyǔ's little trick, and incredulously asked.

"Who should I ask? I was shocked to see so many books with the same name in the corner of the library!" Lì Fēiyǔ mumbled, showing signs of lingering fear.

Then, seeing Han Li's dumbfounded expression, he couldn't help but burst into laughter.

For Lì Fēiyǔ, seeing Han Li's shocked expression was a rare sight.

Usually, Han Li always appeared calm and composed in front of him, as if the word "surprise" didn't exist in his dictionary.

But now, Han Li's dumbfounded expression made Lì Fēiyǔ feel that all the hard work he had put in over the past few days was worthwhile, completely worth it.

After a while, Han Li finally regained his senses.

Clutching the books tightly in his hands, he lowered his head and thought for a while, then looked up with a pensive expression, speaking calmly:

"Have you checked these books? How many are there in total?"

"Of course, I've counted them, not just once but several times. There are a total of seventy-four books with the same name." Lì Fēiyǔ immediately replied without hesitation, reporting the exact number.

"Without confirming the exact number of these books, if we accidentally miss one or two when we return them, it could cause big problems." He followed up with a slight explanation.

With his fingers gently pinching the slightly yellowed pages, Han Li slowly flipped through the book in his hand, carefully reading one of the manuals.
