The sage was determined to die.

"I heard that after you went into the mountain of books, you disappeared for a few days."

The three stood in front of the cave entrance when Ji Ying suddenly spoke.

Ji Bai could tell who said it even with his eyes closed.

He nodded, hummed in agreement, and said, "Why are you so concerned about me?"

As soon as he said it, Ji Bai suddenly realized something and explained, "I did have some fortuitous encounters, but I didn't meet anyone who could heal my wounds."

When he said this, Ji Bai did not look at the other person's face. He didn't know much about Ji Ying, but her obsession was common knowledge.

"If I come across someone like Wenxin who can heal wounds, I will do my best to help you stay."

Ji Ying looked at him with some surprise. That was not his intention, but he did not expect the other party to be so serious, even arrogant.

"You seem very confident about winning Wenxin's heart," Ji Ying carefully chose her words.

Unexpectedly, Ji Bai nodded and said, "Indeed."

Ji Ying didn't say anything more.

Wang Zhixuan, who had been holding back for a while, couldn't help but say, "Don't think you're so great just because you obtained a high-grade literary heart. Even if you do obtain a literary heart, are you sure you can actually use it?"

Ji Bai did not answer him directly.

Ignoring the two loud coughs coming from inside the wall, which were practically booming, Ji Ying explained when she saw Ji Bai's confusion, "This means we can go in."

Ji Bai paused for a moment, then nodded.

He felt that the two coughs were very familiar. After thinking about it carefully, he realized that it was the sound of a friend coming online on a certain chat software.

The three of them went inside one after the other.

Apart from Ji Bai, the other two were clearly not completely ignorant about this place.

Even Wang Zhixuan frowned and complained, "This place is strange, but there are also a lot of literary talents here."

Ji Ying nodded and said calmly, "I've been here twice before, but I didn't find what I was looking for."

Ji Bai remained silent.

Ignore the hidden world within the walls; stepping inside feels like entering another dimension.

Along the several hundred-meter-long corridor, there is a huge black and white chessboard, with black and white squares completely filled and black and white chess pieces arranged in rows beside it.

Wang Zhixuan pointed to the chessboard and said, "This thing looks a lot like Go, but it's not at all. I once saw a book about it at my teacher's place. It's some kind of game, but no one can solve it yet."

"Yes, there should be a Wenxin inside," Ji Ying said.

Ji Ying looked at Ji Bai, but found that he was much calmer than she had imagined.

Ji Bai remained silent.

He not only recognized what the thing in front of him was, but also roughly guessed how unlucky the guards here were.

They bypassed the giant chessboard and continued walking forward. The several-hundred-meter-long corridor was filled with all sorts of novel things. Ji Bai calmly looked at the countless enlarged versions of chess pieces, game consoles, and even a record player made of stone...

"This is too strange," Wang Zhixuan said in a low voice. "The guards here have always been the strangest."

Ji Ying remained silent, observing Ji Bai's reaction. He noticed that despite it being his first time here, Ji Bai remained calm and showed no reaction whatsoever.

It's too peaceful.

This is strange, Ji Ying thought to herself.

Is that strange?

After hearing Wang Zhixuan's words, Ji Bai frowned slightly and said with some surprise, "Isn't this quite normal? Maybe they just decorated it according to their own home."

Wang Zhixuan gave him a look that said, "You've never seen anything like this before."

"Whose family looks like this?" he commented.
