“My master is…” Bai Ze’s eyes began to dart around, finally landing on Lin Jingting, and he kept winking at him.

Seeing this, Lin Jingting quickly said, "Uh, Niannian, I heard that his owner is..."

"I asked him, not you," Chu Nian interrupted him helplessly. "What's the meaning of you always helping him out?"

When this matter was brought up, Chu Nian frowned almost imperceptibly, becoming more and more convinced that her guess was correct.

However, she is currently just a transmigrator in this book. Unless she leaves this world and truly returns to her original body, she will find it difficult to fight against the so-called pen knife.

Lin Jingting's attitude towards Bai Ze was somewhat similar to his attitude towards Lou Qianzong. However, given Lin Jingting's personality, the only person he could tolerate and accommodate like this was someone with whom he had a special connection, like Lou Qianzong.

There aren't many people like that left these days. And the person Bai Ze used to establish a connection with Lin Jingting was probably the "master" that Lin Jingting kept mentioning.

The memories that Chu Nian began to awaken after transmigrating overlapped with many of Lan Nian's memories, which could only mean that their fates intersected considerably in the past, and they experienced many things together.

Chu Nian felt a headache coming on when she thought about her guess. The master that Bai Ze mentioned sounded very powerful, but he was obviously harmed by that pen knife that found a loophole. And this master seemed to have a heavy responsibility on his shoulders, otherwise why would he go and deal with this "pen knife" mentioned by the gods?

With all the gods present, would it be Bai Ze's master's turn to act? Since that master did act, it must be because of duty. Chu Nian therefore deduced that that person had a heavy responsibility.

She didn't want to bear any burdens; she just wanted to eat, drink, play, and sleep all day, without taking anything seriously, without getting involved, and without leaving a trace.

In that case, it's better to stay in the world of books. Why go out and exhaust yourself, both mentally and physically?

Chu Nian entered the original owner's bedroom, closed the door, and leisurely relaxed.

Lin Jingting then pulled Bai Ze into another room, and Lou Qianzong followed closely behind. The three of them closed the door. Lin Jingting and Lou Qianzong's magical abilities were sealed, but Bai Ze's were not, so he set up a powerful barrier.

Lou Qianzong frowned upon seeing this, pointed at him and said to Lin Jingting, "When we were trapped in that cave with our magic sealed by Lan Nian, why didn't you let him out to bite Lan Nian?"

Bai Ze angrily asked, "Why 'bite'? He's a divine beast, not a dog."

Lin Jingting said, "We originally wanted to release him, and he had agreed before, but for some reason he suddenly changed his mind."

Lou Qianzong frowned even more deeply, questioning, "Why do you listen to him so much?" He sized up Bai Ze; this guy was such a handsome young man, could Lin Jingting possibly be...?

Bai Ze: "If he dares to disobey me, I'll beat him up. His master is my peer, I'm his elder."

Lou Qianzong felt somewhat relieved after hearing this, but when he thought of Lin Jingting's master, he frowned again and said, "Didn't you say that your master is Nian Nian?"

Before Lin Jingting could answer, Bai Ze spoke up: "Yes, so you and he are peers, you are both my juniors."

Upon hearing the phrase "you and him are of the same generation," Lou Qianzong's pent-up resentment vanished instantly. He asked, "Xiao Linzi, is there something you want to say to us that you've brought us in here?"

Bai Ze added, "He only wanted to bring me in, not you. You came in on your own."

"Can you shut up?!" Lou Qianzong said angrily. She then glared at him fiercely.

Lin Jingting was afraid that the two of them would start arguing, so she quickly said, "I brought you in because I wanted to discuss what's going to happen next."

Lou Qianzong: "What's next? What's the matter?"

Lin Jingting said, "After Nian Nian came back from Lan Nian's, something seemed off." He then gave Bai Ze a meaningful look. He felt that the information Chu Nian got from Lan Nian might not be limited to what they had just discussed.

Seeing his worry, Lou Qianzong said, "With her abilities, no matter what information she gets, nothing should happen."

Lin Jingting hesitated, as if he wanted to speak but then stopped. Lou Qianzong didn't know who Bai Ze's "master" was. Furthermore, Lou Qianzong was also unaware of who the powerful figure behind the pen knife was.

Lou Qianzong then said, "Speaking of which, did that woman actually get the treasure that sealed our magic power from Lan Nian after she came back from Lan Nian?"

Chu Nian was lying in the room, contemplating how to leisurely spend her future life, when Lou Qianzong's words drifted into her ears: "Uh, even though the little donkey clearly set up a soundproof barrier, she could still easily hear the conversation in that room. Has her strength increased again? Or has some of the strength hidden in her soul been released?"

She was wondering whether she should go next door to unseal the magical power within Lin Jingting and Lou Qianzong.

If she goes, does that mean she overheard what they were saying?

Sigh, I was so focused on figuring out what I was in my past life that I completely forgot about unsealing them.

After thinking it over, she decided to continue leisurely planning for the future. As for Lin Jingting and Lou Qianzong, she would deal with them when they came looking for her.

Then Lin Jingting from next door said, "She got so much information from Lan Nian, I suppose..."

Seeing that he hesitated and didn't continue, Lou Qianzong asked, "What do you think?"

"Idiot!" Bai Ze cursed. "Look at all the information she got from Lan Nian, she must have won big this time. But whether she actually got Lan Nian's treasure is hard to say. I think that woman Lan Nian has plenty of ways to escape!"

Lin Jingting quickly hummed in agreement and said, "Let's not bother her. What if she doesn't get the treasure? Wouldn't it be embarrassing for us to go and question her?"

Chu Nian felt a little embarrassed when she heard this. They were thinking of her in everything, but she was just too lazy to move, so she stayed here and didn't want to go next door to unseal them.

never mind!

Chu Nian sighed inwardly, but still managed to get up and slip into the next room.

The three inside thought they were whispering amongst themselves when Chu Nian suddenly appeared and summoned a precious cauldron.

Lin Jingting and Lou Qianzong both recognized this thing; Lan Nian used it to seal away their martial arts techniques.

Chu Nian quickly used a hand seal to remove the sealed magic from their bodies. Then she flashed back to her own room.

The three people inside were stunned for a long time before they reacted.

Lou Qianzong shouted at Bai Ze, "How did you set up this barrier? It's completely useless!"
