Chu Nian chuckled upon hearing this and said, "You mean, you're the master of the Xuan Yuan Sect? The sect leader of the Xuan Yuan Sect?"
Masked man: "What, don't I look like one?"
Chu Nian shook her head decisively and answered readily, "It doesn't seem like it."
What homeowner would tiptoe into their own library? And wearing a mask to cover their face is clearly to prevent the homeowner from noticing a thief and remembering their face!
The masked man chuckled and said, "So what if you don't look like one? Tell me, what are you doing here? What book are you looking for?"
Chu Nian: "What's it to you?!" After a pause, she added: "Let's make a three-point agreement: you find the book you want, and I'll find mine. We both sneaked in, so neither of us should attract any outsiders, okay?"
The masked man smiled and nodded, saying, "Okay, I have no problem."
Chu Nian quickly walked past several bookshelves, trying to get as far away from the masked man as possible, and then continued to use her brainwave cloning technique to scan and copy the books in the collection.
After a while, she realized something: the masked man wasn't looking for a book at all; he was staring at her.
Although there were several bookshelves between them, the lunatic was spying on her through the only gap between the books.
Chu Nian was annoyed and suddenly turned her gaze over, only to find that the other person had already shifted their attention. But as soon as she put her attention back on the book, the other person turned their gaze back to her face.
Chu Nian, unable to bear it any longer, questioned, "Hey, why aren't you looking for your book? What are you doing staring at me?"
The masked man said, "How do you know I'm looking at you if you're not looking at me?"
Chu Nian: "I could tell."
Masked man: "Okay, I admit I was looking at you. Who told you to be so good-looking?!"
Chu Nian chuckled and said, "Don't be obsessed with me, I'm just a legend."
The masked man nodded and said meaningfully, "That is indeed a true reflection of you."
These words left Chu Nian completely bewildered: it was as if this person knew her very well; and how could he tell that this was a true reflection of her? It was as if she had wronged him in the past!
Chu Nian simply gave up on communicating with this self-righteous person who thought he knew everyone else well; continuing to copy her book was the priority.
The masked man walked over again and leaned against the bookshelf in front of her, beginning to look her up and down directly, this time without trying to sneak a peek.
Chu Nian treated him like he was invisible, copied the book, and quickly left, getting away from this place of trouble and the troublesome man in front of her.
However, Chu Nian went up to the fourth floor. The masked man followed her up to the fourth floor. Chu Nian went up to the fifth floor. The masked man followed her up to the fifth floor as well.
Chu Nian finally finished copying all the books in the collection and planned to sneak out to explore the Xuan Yuan Sect.
She arrived at the door of the first floor of the library and used her mental energy to probe outside, only to find it deserted. She didn't seem to have encountered anyone when she arrived!
Curious, she asked the masked man who had followed her, "Doesn't this Xuan Yuan Sect have any disciples?"
Masked man: "Yes."
Chu Nian: "Then why can't I see it?"
Masked man: "Because the entire Xuan Yuan Sect is protected by a powerful Xuan Qi formation, and you are still weak, it's perfectly normal that you can't detect them."
Chu Nian exclaimed in shock, "Can a profound energy array be this powerful?"
However, due to the limitations of her frail body, she cannot exert her full mental power at all. Currently, her detection strength can only reach the Nascent Soul stage in the cultivation world. If judged by the strength in the Xianxia world, this formation is not considered very strong.
However, this is a profound energy formation. Based on her observations over the past few days, she felt that profound energy was only slightly stronger than internal force, but weaker than spiritual power in the cultivation world, superpowers in the apocalypse, and so on. She never expected it to reach this level of strength. The person who set up this formation is quite amazing!
The masked man said, "The Xuan Yuan Sect not only has powerful formations, but its tokens are also quite formidable. Was your entry here because you possess a token?"
Chu Nian rolled her eyes at him but didn't answer.
Masked Man: "That token can be configured in many ways. For example, you can set it to be visible to others, visible to others, or even visible to each other, and so on."
Chu Nian blinked at the masked man, his words startling her: It really feels like a social media post setting!
The masked man then said, "Why don't you take out your token, and I'll teach you how to set it up."
Chu Nian couldn't help but ask, "Who exactly are you?"
The masked man smiled. Chu Nian vaguely felt that those extremely sexy lips when he smiled were somewhat familiar, as if she had seen them somewhere before…
The masked man said, "I already told you that."
Chu Nian paused for a moment, then said, "You said you are the Sect Master of Xuan Yuan Sect!"
The masked man nodded and said, "That's right, I am."
Chu Nian felt like she had really seen a ghost this time, as if she were in a horror movie: It was so terrifying!
"If you really are the Xuan Yuan Sect Master, why are you wearing a mask? Isn't it because you're afraid people will remember your face, you scoundrel?" Chu Nian asked.
Masked man: "Because I am too handsome, everyone who sees me is captivated, so I have to wear a mask."
What utter nonsense! Chu Nian sighed helplessly and could only ask another question: "Since you are the sect leader, why did you tiptoe into this library?"
The masked man said, "I discovered that a thief had broken into my library. Not wanting to alert him and let him escape, I tried to be discreet. However, I found that although this thief was weak, his senses were extremely sharp. Even though I was discreet, he still noticed me, so I..."
As he spoke, his bright, star-like eyes fell unabashedly on Chu Nian's face, and he smiled again, saying, "I never expected this thief to be such a beautiful woman. You are such a lovely lady, why did you become a thief?"
As he was talking, this guy actually started to make a move, reaching out to try and pinch Chu Nian's chin.
Chu Nian has traveled through countless timelines and seen all sorts of people. How could he possibly gain an advantage? He simply raised his foot and kicked the masked man in a certain important area.
The masked man nimbly dodged the attack, teasingly asking, "What are you doing? Trying to live like a widow?"
This guy didn't get the better of her hands, but his slutty mouth was quick to follow. Chu Nian snorted coldly and raised her hand to slap him across the face.
He dodged again and returned behind Chu Nian, opening his arms to hug her from behind.
Chu Nian sensed what he was planning to do with her mental energy and immediately darted forward.
He hugged empty air from behind, and gave a slightly disappointed, self-deprecating smile.
"Alright, stop fooling around." Chu Nian realized that this person was extremely agile and indeed unfathomable. She was certain that she couldn't defeat him with her current abilities. So, she spoke up.
