Volume 6: Summer Chapter 5 Tree House

Lin Yu followed Jiang You to Guanghe Bookstore.
The character's stand was erected in the small flower bed next to the door, and there was a small blackboard on the side with the words "Mrs. Ruolan's Book Signing Session" written on it and many decorations painted on it.
Jiang You pushed open the door of the bookstore and heard the noisy sound. He looked in the direction of the rest area and saw five or six young girls sitting there. They were all dressed very cutely and chattering.
"Hey, you, that..." A petite girl stood up and walked a few steps towards them, "You are that..."
Jiang You also felt that she looked familiar.
After the two tried hard to recognize each other's faces for a while, the girl was the first to remember. She said, "Tang Butian, you are Tang Butian's friend!"
Jiang You also recognized it, "Yes, yes, you are..."
"Li Sheng, I'm her college classmate."
"I remember now, why are you here?" Jiang You asked.
"I'm here to see Mrs. Ruolan," Li Sheng said excitedly, "I was worried that this event would fail, but luckily I found a new venue and I changed my ticket to tomorrow..."
"Are you her fan?" Jiang You asked.
"Yeah, you too?"
As he spoke, Chen Nan walked from the bookshelf on the inside to Jiang You.
Jiang You explained to Li Sheng, "I'm here to help. My shop is also on this street, selling postcards. You can go take a look when you're done here."
"Okay, now that we're done we can go shopping."
Jiang You looked at Chen Nan, "Is there anything else you want to move or hang?"
Chen Nan saw Lin Yu, and she looked at Jiang You, "How did you trick your coach here?"
"Give me something to do, or I'll be dragged to the park to run 10 kilometers."
Chen Nan held back her laughter. She pointed to the lounge area and said, "Help me rearrange the tables over there . Put a table in the middle. When she comes, she can sit behind it for book signing. Move the other tables to the innermost part and put them in three rows. Then move that bookshelf over there, yes, that one. So when someone comes, they can come in through the door and then walk along here," she gestured and took a few steps forward, "come here, the author will sign, then get a small gift here, then walk through here. Move the bookshelf a little bit so that there is an extra passage. Then come here, and separate the entrance and exit. Those who want to rest can also sit here."
Jiang You looked at the current layout and asked, "Do we need to move the sofa by the window?"
"Don't move. There's a sign there. I'll put the sofas together and decorate it. You can line up and take pictures." Chen Nan pointed to the side of the counter. "I've put a few boxes of mineral water over there. You can help me move them to the back of the counter."
"I understand."
"Then you guys do it first. I'll go out and buy a table flower. Xiao Liu will come over after lunch. When she comes, we'll go eat."
"Okay, okay, go ahead. We'll take care of this," Jiang You looked at Lin Yu, "Mr. Lin, shall we get the table first?"
"Can."
After Jiang You and Lin Yu walked over, the girls who were originally sitting moved aside consciously.
Li Sheng followed Jiang You and watched them move the tables and chairs. She lent a hand from time to time and said, "Bu Tian originally wanted to come with me."
"You're here pretty early. It doesn't start until about 2pm."
"I also need to bring it for my friend. I'm afraid if I'm too late I won't be able to buy it."
"So that's amazing, so you're just going to wait like this and not have lunch?"
"Let's go get something to eat later. It's a good opportunity for us to get together offline. We don't have the chance to do so normally." Li Sheng took out his phone and took a look. "Do you know where Bu Tian is? I sent her a message yesterday, but she didn't reply, and her phone was unreachable."
"Do you have something to do with her?"
Tang Butian raised her head and looked at the mountains shrouded in clouds and mist. She took a deep breath, feeling the abundant spiritual energy spreading through her body and nourishing her internal organs.
Zhong Yan took a step forward and walked to her side. "Master Zhong is still in Yanjing. You should recuperate for a few days. When he comes back, I will take you to see him."
"I want to see Immortal Zhang."
Zhong Yan frowned, "Zhang Xianren? What do you want to do with him?"
Tang Butian heard a whistling sound coming from afar, and two cranes penetrated the clouds and flew towards them one after another.
"I have something to ask him."
The crane circled around them and then landed in front of them.
Tang Butian sat on the crane.
The crane flapped its wings and carried her into the sky.
Seeing this, Zhong Yan also got on the crane and caught up with Tang Butian. "Immortal Zhang hasn't shown up for a long time. He may not be willing to see you."
"I want to give it a try."
"You don't want to challenge him?
Tang Butian turned her head and glanced at Zhong Yan. "I am not qualified to challenge him. My master told me that Immortal Zhang is at a very high level. She has fought with him three times and lost every time. My master said that Immortal Zhang did not use her full strength." After that, she added, "My master said that she can beat ten Zhong Zhangshis."
Zhong Yan tried hard to change the subject, "I heard that you want to challenge Mr. Zhuang?"
"It's not a challenge." Tang Butian denied it.
"Is that a sparring match?"
Tang Butian said seriously: "He owes me three beatings."
The crane sent them to a hilltop. After Tang Butian looked around to confirm her location, she walked forward.
"I went to Yanjing with the headmaster this time. I thought you would be there too," Zhong Yan followed him again, "but I didn't expect it was Guan Nuo who went."
"I don't know about Yanjing."
Zhong Yan looked at Tang Butian's back and said, "The research institute seems to have made a new breakthrough. They have created an intelligent robot that can recognize and use spiritual power. Put it in a simulated environment and let it explore on its own. The researchers are responsible for observing what it explores."
"What did it discover?" Tang Butian asked.
"I'm still not sure about the details, but I heard from Master Zhong that it seems like they have discovered a cultivation path that has never appeared before."
As they were talking, they saw a round tree house hidden in the woods.
Tang Butian looked up at the tree house. It was about ten meters above the ground. From the outside, there were no windows, no doors, and no stairs.
It almost became part of the tree, with branches wrapped around it and slanting through the cracks in its surface.
"Master Zhang, swordsman Tang Butian requests to see you." Tang Butian's cold voice echoed among the mountains.
There was no movement in the cabin.
After waiting for a while, Zhong Yan said, "Let's go. Immortal Zhang may be in seclusion."
Tang Butian's hand tightly grasped the handle of the wooden sword and she closed her eyes.
Zhong Yan sighed, and suddenly, he felt a breeze blowing across his cheek.
It's windy.
The wind blew through the grass and in the trees.
It's the sword intention.
A leaf fluttered down.
Fell to the ground.
Zhong Yan heard Tang Butian's voice again, "Master Zhang, swordsman Tang Butian wants to see you."
