Douluo Continent: Reincarnated Dan Heng Drinks the Moon, Gu Yuena Pursues Him

Chapter 128 Ning Fengzhi's Viewpoint: Convinced

The middle-aged man was elegant and had a scholarly air about him, which made him impossible to dislike.

I just felt that he was someone I could get close to.

Moreover, despite his simple attire, he possessed a demeanor and air of nobility that many nobles lacked.

Dan Heng glanced at it once and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

This is another problem!

A person with such a temperament is definitely not an insignificant person.

His status is probably even higher than that of Prince Xuexing.

And for such a person, at such an age, Dan Heng quickly thought of a suitable candidate... Ning Fengzhi.

Yes, this is Ning Fengzhi. After failing to invite Dan Heng, he decided to visit her in person.

Ning Fengzhi brought a book to the service desk.

He smiled slightly, his eyes filled with admiration as he looked at Dan Heng.

Poison Douluo thought he had hidden his poisoning very well, but in Sword Douluo's eyes, it was no secret at all.

Ning Fengzhi never expected that he would find a cure for the venom of the Jade Scale Snake at Dan Heng's place today.

This is a deadly poison that even Poison Douluo couldn't handle!

Thus, it is evident that Dan Heng's talents extend beyond politics and martial arts theory; he is also extremely proficient in medicine.

He was a true scholar with profound knowledge, and he admired such people the most!

Dan Heng held a place in his heart that even surpassed that of the renowned master Yu Xiaogang.

"Mr. Danheng, meeting you today, I can see that your reputation is truly well-deserved."

Ning Fengzhi smiled.

Dan Heng shook his head and said calmly, "I don't have any reputation. I'm just an ordinary librarian."

Ning Fengzhi smiled lightly, not wanting to get entangled with Dan Heng any further.

He nodded and said, "Mr. Danheng, I have heard about a brilliant national policy today and would like to ask you about it."

"..." Dan Heng shook his head, indicating that he was not interested.

Ning Fengzhi continued talking to himself, saying, "Crown Prince Xue Qinghe proposed the imperial examination system in court, giving ordinary people a systematic channel to serve the country. This was opposed by many nobles, but in my opinion, this is the key to the stable operation of an empire."

"What does Mr. Danheng think?"

Ning Fengzhi looked at Dan Heng with bright eyes and anticipation.

He longed to communicate with masters like Danheng in order to increase his wisdom.

He also believed that the imperial examination system proposed by Qian Renxue was definitely Dan Heng's idea.

I gained insights from Danheng and verified them against my own thoughts.

Dan Heng shook his head slightly, "I don't know anything about the imperial examination system..."

Dan Heng couldn't help but wonder, had Qian Renxue revealed her identity? Or had she been exposed at some point?

Why did Ning Fengzhi come looking for me?

Ning Fengzhi was slightly surprised. He was always welcomed when making friends with others, but he didn't expect to be rejected by Dan Heng now.

He touched his nose and said in a low voice, "Mr. Danheng, don't worry. I came here without telling anyone, and I don't intend to reveal your identity to anyone. I just want to make friends with you. You don't need to know who I am; just call me Mr. Ning."

With that, Ning Fengzhi adopted a very humble attitude.

He truly admired Dan Heng and wanted to have more intellectual exchanges with him.

Dan Heng glanced at Ning Fengzhi and saw sincerity in his eyes; he truly wouldn't do anything that would give him a headache.

Since that was the case, Danheng nodded.

Ning Fengzhi's face lit up with joy. He sat down beside Dan Heng, handed him the book, and smiled.

"Mr. Danheng, these are my thoughts on the Edict of Grace and the Imperial Examination System. I wonder if you could offer your comments?"

Ning Fengzhi was quite expectant, waiting for Dan Heng's reply.

Dan Heng took it and quickly read it through. It was a lengthy text of over ten thousand words, and he finished reading it in just a few breaths.

Dan Heng returned the book to Ning Fengzhi and nodded, saying, "You've thought of everything very thoroughly."

"Hmm...?" Ning Fengzhi blinked, stunned for a moment.

A perfunctory compliment, and that's it?

What about feedback? Even just pointing out some problems would be helpful.

Ning Fengzhi smiled awkwardly and said softly, "Mr. Danheng, your wisdom amazes me. I hope to receive your honest evaluation, even criticism, which would be invaluable to me."

As he spoke, Ning Fengzhi's expression turned serious; he was not joking.

He genuinely wanted to get "nourishment" from Dan Heng.

Dan Heng frowned slightly and asked in return, "Your focus is on their impact, and your analysis is certainly excellent. Do you think there's anything to criticize?"

Even I might not have considered things more comprehensively than you.

Dan Heng said casually.

These kinds of reading comprehension questions can be found to have influence and significance from almost any angle.

Just like some articles that are cited in exams, even the authors themselves may not be able to provide the standard answers.

Dan Heng didn't think too much about it at the time; he was just solving a problem. He didn't consider what implications it might have.

As long as we don't make things worse, that's fine.

"!!!"

After hearing Dan Heng's words, Ning Fengzhi suddenly realized that he had indeed been too presumptuous.

They put a lot of effort into an area that was almost impossible to get right, but which itself had little significance.

But in the presence of a true sage, it has no value whatsoever.

Just like eating and drinking, do we think about their meaning?

Ning Fengzhi looked somewhat embarrassed and said, "I was being too attached to appearances. Mr. Danheng, were you looking at a medical book?"

Dan Heng hummed in agreement, but his eyes did not stray from the book because of him.

Seeing this, Ning Fengzhi stopped making a sound and cooperated fully.

He thought for a moment, then picked up a book and started reading.

He had only intended to pass the time, but as he watched, he became engrossed, as if there was some kind of aura surrounding Dan Heng.

Although he usually appears calm and collected, it is rare for him to be reading so relaxedly as he is now.

After finishing the book, he suddenly realized how fast time had passed.

He put the book back on the shelf and glanced at Danheng, who was still reading.

She opened her mouth, then swallowed it back, not wanting to disturb Dan Heng.

He left quietly, a smile on his face.

An afternoon of reading felt like a baptism for his mind and body.

This is exactly the state he's been striving for!

……

Sword Douluo was waiting for him at the library entrance.

"Uncle Jian, Mr. Dan Heng truly deserves his reputation as a great talent. If there's no need for him to come here often in the future."

"Perhaps, we could invite Mr. Danheng to some events similar to masquerade balls."

Ning Fengzhi said with a light laugh.

Sword Douluo hummed in agreement, his brows furrowed as he pondered something.

"Uncle Jian, what are you thinking about? Can you tell whether Mr. Danheng is a human or a ferocious beast?"

Ning Fengzhi asked curiously. He had just been thinking that even if Mr. Danheng was a ferocious beast, he would still be willing to make this friend.

Sword Douluo said, "He's just an ordinary person."

Ning Fengzhi was slightly surprised. How could an ordinary person marry a ferocious beast?

However, it was Mr. Danheng's words that suddenly made Ning Fengzhi feel that it was quite normal.
