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

Chapter 390 Night Raid on the Library 3

Yun Qingyi: "Alright, be careful."

The group tried to find something different in the library.

But the first floor of this library was no different from other libraries. In fact, it even had some rare books that were hard to find elsewhere. Yun Qingyi picked up a book from the shelf and flipped through it casually, a hint of doubt and wariness flashing in her eyes.

This place is perfectly normal. The books are arranged in a way that... Yun Qingyi glanced at the rows of towering bookshelves. There were so many books, yet not a single one was dusty. Clearly, someone had been taking meticulous care of them every day.

However, judging from past reports, not many people visit this library, and within the Zixiao Sect, it is basically just for show.

Few people usually come here. If the disciples have any questions and want to consult books, they usually go to the library managed by the various elders.

Although the Zixiao Sect's Book Pavilion and Library Pavilion differ by only one character, their situations are completely different. The Zixiao Sect has established 81 Book Pavilions, but there is only one Library Pavilion. Moreover, according to rumors, it also contains the forbidden technique pavilion that is rumored among the Zixiao Sect disciples.

Thinking this through, Yun Qingyi put the book back where it was. "There are no more clues on this first floor." She said to the others, "Let's go up and take a look."

“Indeed.” Xie Xiyan put the book back in its place. “But it’s normal that there are no clues on the first floor. If clues were so easy to find, the secret of this library would have been revealed long ago.”

“Great minds think alike, Brother Xie.” Gu Qiqing put his hand on Xie Xiyan’s shoulder, his face full of admiration. “As expected of us, you are indeed clever.”

Leng Zhan: "Come on, senior brother, I think you're just like me."

Ji Zhaoling: "I think it's still different."

Leng Zhan: "Junior sister, what do you mean?"

……

While the two were bickering, Yun Qingyi spotted Yun Qingrou going upstairs and followed her up.

Seeing this, Xie Xiyan, who had been keeping an eye on Yun Qingyi, also chased after her.

It wasn't until Ji Zhaoze and Gu Qiqing left that the two, who were bickering, realized that there was no one around and it was pitch black, with only the luminous pearls on their bodies emitting a faint light.

Leng Zhan swallowed hard and quickly took out the luminous pearl from his arms. The surroundings instantly became much brighter, but only around the two of them; the rest of the area remained pitch black.

Ji Zhaoling: "...Where...are they?"

Leng Zhan: "I think I heard Ruan Qi say that we're going to the second floor?"

Upon hearing this, Ji Zhaoling made no move, but her voice trembled slightly, "But where are the stairs here?"

"How is this possible? I was just..." Leng Zhan spun around, staring at the area where the stairs had been replaced by bookshelves, as if this library would only ever have a first floor. "This..."

"No, it looks like we've fallen behind. Staying here will only cause trouble. Let's get out of here quickly." Ji Zhaoling was the first to react, pulling Leng Zhan toward the gate. Soon, the two stopped again.

Gazing at the towering bookshelves before him, he fell silent. Where the main entrance to this library should have stood was there.

Leng Zhan: "What should we do, junior sister..."

Ji Zhaoling frowned: "Do you remember what Martial Aunt Qingyi said?"

Leng Zhan frowned in thought: "Is this library alive?"

Ji Zhaoling: "Yes."

Leng Zhan: "Then why did it separate us?"

Ji Zhaoling didn't answer immediately. After a moment of silence, as if she had thought of something, she looked at Leng Zhan and said, "Do you think... is it possible that it wants to separate more than just us and our martial uncles?"

Leng Zhan was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, then asked with some excitement, "Junior Sister, are you saying that... it has a target?"

Ji Zhaoling: "Yes, it's very likely that it wants to separate one of us from the others, and that person is its target!"

Leng Zhan quickly pulled out a jade token: "No, we must send a message to our martial uncles immediately!"

"Huh? What's going on???" After sending several messages in a row, none of them seemed to go through. Leng Zhan anxiously sent a few more, only to find that Ji Zhaoling hadn't made any move. He looked at her in confusion, "Junior sister, why don't you try?"

Ji Zhaoling: "Have you forgotten? This library is alive."

“She can hear us.”
