Maria threw a diary to Isla.

Isla knew about this diary. In fact, she had seen Maria buy it online just two days ago. Since it was a diary marketed to primary school students, it only cost a measly dollar.

However, the cheapness of the diary wasn't the point.

The thing that surprised Isla the most was the fact that it only took Maria two days to write everything down in this diary.

Now, Maria gave the diary to Isla before giving it a new name.

An Introduction to Ancient Martial Arts.

As soon as Isla heard this name, she had the impression that Maria named her books like a scientist would. Her wording was precise and meticulous and adhered to rigid standards.

Cautiously, Isla accepted the diary entitled An Introduction to Ancient Marital Arts.

After turning a few pages, she was surprised to find out that the contents of this diary were somewhat similar to the Energy Practice Formula that had been inherited secretly by the Jenkins family.

The reason why Isla could tell that the two Looked similar was that she had read half a set of Energy Practice Formula with Maria's permission.

Isla continued reading the diary in front of Maria.

She was so engrossed by the words in the book that she had forgotten that Maria was in front of her all along.

In an era where one could easily obtain educational resources, people like Isla, whose ability to learn was deliberately hampered by their own families, had a much stronger desire for knowledge than ordinary people. Thus, it made total sense why Isla was so engrossed in reading the book.

It was only after a while did Isla realize that she had been ignoring Maria this whole time.

“Ah! Miss Maria, I'm sorry. I..."

Isla couldn't help but panic. Her first instinct was to kneel down and apologize.

When Maria saw this, she couldn't help but smile. "Don't worry. I have my own hands and feet. I don*t need anyone to take care of me all the time. Just focus on your study whenever you're free. If you have any questions about the cultivation of ancient martial arts, you can ask me directly."

After hearing what Maria had said, Isla stared at her with her mouth slightly agape. For a long time, it was as if she had been petrified into a statue.

So many thoughts were crossing her mind.

For example, why was Maria so tolerant towards her compared to the other young people in the clan?

Why was Maria giving her advice on the cultivation of ancient martial arts?

On top of all that, how could Maria write an entire book by herself and name it An Introduction to Ancient Martial Arts?

Was this her original work? Or was she rewriting it from memory?

As these questions converged in Isla's mind, an answer finally formed.
