The Dongxu Gourd’s Request

"This…" Zhang Xuan didn't expect to hear such a request. He hesitated for a brief moment before replying, "To be honest with you, I'm intending to head north. There's something which I am rushing in time for…"

"Brother Zheng, it'll only take a little while. It won't delay you by too long… Besides, the Myriad Beasts Hall is also located north of here. It won't be too much of a detour," Elder Liao said.

"If… I were to follow you back to the Myriad Beasts Hall in the capacity of an honorary elder, could I be so impudent as to request access to your elders' library? To be honest, I'm deeply interested in browsing through your sect's book collection in order to clarify some doubts in my cultivation," Zhang Xuan asked.
