The sage was determined to die.

The girl's face turned extremely ugly within those two or three seconds.

However, she remained remarkably calm and didn't fall into the other person's illusions. It was because of that one sentence that she began to break down.

She nodded, slightly raised her chin, and said as if she knew it by heart countless times, "As expected, you are different from us."

He played a card, and his opponent played a card in return.

The girl felt that this was a fair exchange, and then she heard the other person nod, their expression showing a moment of melancholy for some reason.

Ji Bai slightly raised his hand, indicating that he had no intention of attacking the other party, which made the girl pause for a moment.

He spoke as if chatting with an old friend, saying, "So you actually remember your name, right?"

The girl was taken aback by what the other person said, but quickly replied sarcastically, "I thought you would ask something else."

Ji Bai gave a brief laugh, moving as quickly as if he had never appeared at all.

"That's not fair. I really wanted to help you regain your memories," he said.

The girl seemed to have heard a joke, slowly savoring the word "fairness" from the other person's mouth, her face gradually turning cold.

She looked directly into the other person's face and said, "Fairness? You're talking to me about fairness?"

"We are the same kind of people, but you have so much more than me. It's really unfair," she said.

The other person's tone was calm but concealed anger, which Ji Bai could naturally hear. However, he didn't say anything, just paused for a moment, and then gave a faint "hmm" without denying it.

He looked at the other person and asked, "Could you tell me your name?"

The girl hesitated, then said in a slightly firm tone, "No."

"Oh." Ji Bai didn't delve into that further and quickly moved on to the next question. He pointed to his forehead: "If I'm not mistaken, you forcibly contained a fragment, and then intended to use it to leave the Book Mountain?"

The girl stared intently at the man, who continued, "This 'Artifact Heart' is no longer complete. You've probably broken it into countless pieces. Have you considered that the person who contained it is a useless piece of trash? What will you do if your plan fails?"

It has to be said that every conversation with Ji Bai was beyond her expectations.

She pursed her lips and said, "I didn't expect you to say that."

Ji Bai still had that same smiling face, but there was no smile in his eyes.

"Aren't there risks involved in cooperating with people outside?"

As if he could see right through the other person's mind, he slowly said, "This plan wasn't recommended to you by someone, was it? It's so clumsy and direct, it's really not in line with the style of people like us."

He coaxed and pleaded, his intentions clearly malicious: "Aren't you worried? What if those people use you and then try to kill you?"

Seeing the other person's worried expression, the girl was momentarily at a loss for words, unsure whether to marvel at the person's superb acting skills or be amazed at how their brain worked.

"How about we cooperate?"

Ji Bai continued to offer his suggestion, waving his hand and saying gently, "Look, since we're both going to be scammed anyway, wouldn't it feel much more intimate to be scammed by your own fellow countryman than by a strange man?"

The girl clenched her fists.
