Under the pretext of practicing with twin swords, Lin Xiao had visited Phoenix Caw Peak many times and could now navigate it easily.
Quickly, he passed through several layers of palace mazes and smoothly entered the first level of the Book Pavilion.
According to the steward, Zhu Wanning had specifically arranged to meet him here, knowing he had arrived.
Although it felt strange, Lin Xiao didn't dwell on it and tentatively called out, "Wanning, are you inside?"
There was no response.
It was late at night, and the Book Pavilion was plunged into darkness.
Since powerful magic prohibitions fortified this place, Lin Xiao couldn't conveniently use the Fire Technique for illumination. Instead, he had to walk deeper into the space, relying on the vague moonlight streaming through the window.
Soon, he saw a figure in snow-white clothing standing before a large bookshelf.
"Wanning, I finally found you!"
Elated, Lin Xiao hurried over.
