Cultivation: I Have Studied Abroad in the Modern World

Chapter 184: Chapter 84 Suspicion Chapter 184: Chapter 84 Suspicion Zheng Fa slowly made his way to where Zhang was trapped.

When he arrived three zhang away, Zhang just happened to open her eyes.

Without a word exchanged, it was as if they’d met for a prearranged silent appointment.

Zheng Fa opened his “Topology” and continued teaching from where he had left off the previous day.

Sometimes, Zhang would interrupt him with questions about things she didn’t understand.

Some of these were down to her incomplete knowledge, certain concepts eluded her, and Zheng Fa responded to those easily.

Others were things even Zheng Fa hadn’t fully thought through, at which point he would find himself stumped by her questions.

He would frown and start to ponder.

Zhang wouldn’t press him, just quietly watching him with a subtle smile on her lips.

Sometimes when Zheng Fa truly couldn’t answer her questions, her smile contained a hint of smugness.

…

Both were cultivators, their thought processes far outpaced ordinary people.

They went through the “Topology” in just ten days—a mere skimming of its surface, but at least now Zhang had an outline of it.

“Zhang, does this knowledge help you?” Zheng Fa asked with anticipation.

“Yes, it does.”

“Really?” Zheng Fa said happily.

“Have you had any insights, Zhang?”

“Not quite.”

“…Then doesn’t that mean it hasn’t been helpful?” Zheng Fa couldn’t help but feel puzzled.

“Because of this book, you come here every day at this time,” Zhang pointed to the “Topology” in Zheng Fa’s hands and said, “Every day at this time, I feel much better.”

“…”

Well, that counts as help, I suppose.

But not the kind of help Zheng Fa was looking for.

Seeing his slightly disappointed expression, Zhang chuckled, “The knowledge you imparted is profound and vast.

I am only just stepping into it now, and it’s still too soon for me to integrate it with talismanic diagrams.”

Zheng Fa slowly let out a breath.
