I woke up to find myself as the villain's older sister.

"So you mean...we've been being watched by it all along?"

Ji Zhaoling rolled her eyes: "What you're saying sounds like nonsense. Didn't Martial Aunt Qingyi say that this library is alive? Alive! Our every move is definitely under its watchful eye."

On the other side, sensing that Gu Qiqing and Ruan Qi had disappeared one after another, the remaining Yun Qingyi and the others quickly realized the problem.

Xie Xiyan: "It seems that its goal is very clear: to separate us."

Ji Zhaoze frowned: "Do you want to wipe them all out in one fell swoop, or...?"

Yun Qingyi: "It's unlikely that they'll attack us. This entire library belongs to them. As long as they have this understanding, they'll be quite confident."

Yun Qingrou: "Are you saying that if you were going to take action, you would have started downstairs already?"

Xie Xiyan: "That is indeed a possibility, but it cannot be ruled out. Its strength is much smaller, and it would be necessary to deal with it one by one."

Yun Qingyi pondered, "That is indeed possible." But what would the motive be? Yun Qingyi subconsciously felt that the original intention of this library was to take one of them.

The feeling was very strong, and she subconsciously felt that this person was Yun Qingrou.

Yun Qingyi took a deep breath, concentrated, and said to the remaining people, "In short, be careful from now on, don't get separated again. Let's search for clues together, don't split up."

Ji Zhaoze: "Junior sister is right. From now on, everyone should concentrate and avoid falling into a trap."

The group was searching for something on the second floor of the library. So far, no one had come to the library. Yun Qingyi was quite certain that the library was not only alive, but also possessed a certain degree of independent thought.

and……

It is not subordinate to the Zixiao Sect.

Otherwise, after so much time, the people from the Zixiao Sect would have received the alarm and rushed over to arrest them long ago.

To be honest, this operation was a bit risky. I originally just wanted to come and scout things out by myself, but I didn't expect everyone to come along.

However, she did not sense any danger signals from beginning to end. It seemed that the library had no intention of doing anything, which was why she did not want to leave immediately after entering.

Although the gate was closed, she still had many ways to leave.

"Qingyi, Senior Brother is missing," Xie Xiyan said, his deep voice filled with vigilance.

Ok?

Yun Qingyi looked around and Ji Zhaoze was indeed gone. "What did Senior Brother just come into contact with?"

Yun Qingrou: "He just moved a few steps away from us, wanting to look at the bookshelf over there. He disappeared as soon as he touched the books."

Upon hearing this, Yun Qingyi walked over quickly, and the others followed closely behind.

Yun Qingyi picked up the books around her and flipped through them, but found nothing unusual.

Yun Qingyi: "..." It seems she's trapped in a dead end.

Yun Qingrou: "Sister, this library is strange in every way. Why don't we go find the others first?"

Xie Xiyan rarely agreed with Yun Qingrou's words, nodding: "That's right, we really can't find any clues tonight."

Upon hearing this, Yun Qingyi pondered something while taking out the talisman given to her by Ci Gui. In addition to warding off evil spirits, this talisman had two other functions: one was summoning, and the other was being able to sense whether other people with talismans were in danger. However, the summoning function had a cooldown period.

Ruan Qi and the others were not in danger. Yun Qingyi was holding the talisman, preparing to summon them over, but in an instant, she suddenly realized something and paused in her grip on the talisman.

“Arou, you just said that the library seemed strange.”

Seeing Yun Qingyi pause, Yun Qingrou asked, "Hmm, did you think of something, Sister?"
