"Dang… dang…"
The bell rang from some unknown spot.
Lu Sheng put down the book in his hand and listened hard. He recalled how Song Zi'an had mentioned that the ringing of the bell indicated the start of the morning lesson.
But he had only come in for several hours; it was unlikely to be the morning lesson.
'In that case, it should be the reminder to return to our caves…' Lu Sheng put the book down and stood up.
'I haven't gotten a clear grasp of the situation in the sect yet. It's not too late to wait till after meeting the other disciples and finding out for certain what are the do's and don't's before coming back to continue reading.' He made up his mind and quickly returned the book to the shelf, walked out of the building and returned to the bridge.
He was about to cross the bridge when he suddenly heard the creaking of a door.
Turning around, he saw the originally ajar door of the library closing by itself.
"Thud."
The bar even fell into place after the door was shut.
