But because of the spirit formation, he couldn't leave.
And Xue He let out an excited, monkey-like screech.
"Hoo hoo ha ha hoo ha, with the spirit formation here, what can your little junior sister do, can she escape my grasp? No, she can't! Hehehehe..."
Mu Qingqing: "......"
Xin Ci: "......"
Both of them were made uncomfortable by their perverted senior sister's laughter.
"A cute junior sister like you is born to be eaten by your senior sister, hoo hahahaha, little one, just lie still and let me tickle you."
Xue He raised her claw, ready to tickle, while letting out a chilling laugh.
Mu Qingqing's forehead broke out in black lines upon hearing this.
This perverted senior sister's laughter was too demonic, the male lead was in for it.
However, at this very moment, Xin Ci's pupils flashed with starlight, and he then snapped his fingers expressionlessly.
The spirit formation beneath his feet vanished instantly.
The next second, he appeared beneath Xue He without warning, causing her to collide with an invisible barrier before she could even get close to Xin Ci, her face contorted as she was pushed forward.
What's going on?!
How did the spirit formation transfer to under my feet?!
Xue He's eyes widened, staring at the spirit formation beneath her feet in disbelief.
Could it be...!
Xue He suddenly recalled the disappearance of the Saint-tier formation in Feng Yu Lou's illusion room, and her face flushed red with anger.
"You detestable brat, you destroyed the Saint-tier formation in Feng Yu Lou back then, didn't you?"
"It was me, but wasn't that an assessment?"
Xin Ci shrugged innocently.
Seeing that he admitted it, Xue He became even angrier, wishing she could tear this little brat to shreds.
If it weren't for Xin Ci dismantling the formation, causing Elder Chi Mu to hold her accountable, she wouldn't have been punished to guard the library.
Being punished to guard the library was one thing, but it had to be the library of the Asura Hall.
Everyone knew that the Asura Hall was deserted and silent, and its library was even more so.
Xue He highly suspected that Elder Chi Mu intentionally wanted to confine her, deliberately assigning her this menial task of guarding the library, where just organizing a pile of books was enough to make her fall asleep.
This was why Xue He was glaring at Xin Ci with such a pout.
"You dare say that, I only asked you to stay in the illusion room for a day, I didn't ask you to dismantle the formation."
"But I'm curious, how did you manage it?"
Hearing Xue He's words, Xin Ci couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.
He had no intention of telling her that he had used Mu Qingqing's Star Wheel pupil technique to break the formation, and turned to leave.
This made Xue He anxious, and she quickly called out, "Wait! Little one, don't go... Junior Sister!"
"I'll call you 'Ancestor' then, alright? Come back quickly, at least release your senior sister from the spirit formation before you go!"
Xin Ci then stopped and turned his head slightly to look at Xue He.
"I can let you out, but you must answer my questions honestly."
This little brat, he knew she wouldn't be so kind.
Xue He grumbled discontentedly.
Then she nodded in agreement, "Then ask quickly, your senior sister is in a hurry to go back to sleep!"
Xin Ci didn't bother with pleasantries and got straight to the point.
"Then tell me, what's going on with this library? Why can't I take the scrolls from the bookshelves?"
"You little girl, is this how you speak to your senior sister? You won't even call me senior sister!" Xue He pouted discontentedly, looking wronged.
"Never mind, I'll ask someone else."
Seeing Xin Ci about to turn and leave again, Xue He
quickly shouted, "Hey, don't go, Junior Sister, I'll tell you, alright."
Really having no choice with this little ancestor, Xue He sighed helplessly and explained, "You've only just become a disciple of the Killing Heart Holy Court, so it's normal that you don't know. The Asura Hall, due to the tragic events twenty years ago, has almost all its disciples wiped out, and its library has become deserted. To prevent anyone from stealing cultivation techniques, there are restrictions in place. If you accidentally touch a restriction, it will activate the formation, which is why what just happened occurred."
"So that's how it is!"
Xin Ci nodded thoughtfully.
Xue He continued, "Of course, even without restrictions, you wouldn't be able to take the scrolls from the bookshelves."
"So that means there are conditions for obtaining these scrolls?"
"That's right. To obtain the cultivation techniques or martial arts from the libraries of the Four Great Halls, you must exchange them with assassin points."
Assassin points?
Xin Ci's pupils contracted slightly.
He thought it must be similar to the contribution points of the Four Symbols Academy.
"Then how do I obtain assassin points?"
"Why do you have so many questions?"
Seeing Xin Ci bombarding her with one question after another, Xue He became impatient.
"Stop the nonsense. If you want to get out, answer quickly."
"Alright, alright. Assassin points must be earned by completing assassination missions. The stronger the target, the more assassin points you get. These points can also be used to upgrade your assassin level."
"As for assassination missions, you can pick them up at the mission hall on Blood Sword Peak."
Upon hearing Xue He's words, Xin Ci immediately understood the importance of assassination missions and assassin points.
He then set off for the mission hall on Blood Sword Peak, intending to pick up an assassination mission.
"Hey, you little brat, don't leave yet, at least let me out."
Xue He was shouting from behind.
Xin Ci snapped his fingers without looking back.
The spirit formation beneath her feet was naturally removed, and Xue He regained her freedom.
Watching Xin Ci's retreating back, Xue He's beautiful eyes flickered, her interest piqued by Xin Ci's casual manipulation of spirit formations.
This little junior sister was becoming more and more mysterious.
After all, the spirit formation in the library was something that even a Saint Emperor might not be able to break.
Yet Xin Ci, who was only a two-star Heavenly Venerate, could so easily control it.
Could he be a formation master?
The thought alone was incredible.
Blood Sword Peak, as the hub for assassination missions, saw many disciples accepting various assassination quests daily to earn assassin points.
When Xin Ci arrived at the mission hall, the doors were wide open, and many newly admitted disciples were submitting their missions.
The mission hall had four floors.
From top to bottom, they corresponded to the Kui, Xiao, You, and Ying levels of missions respectively.
Furthermore, each floor had an elder in charge.
With Xin Ci's current strength, he could only accept missions on the first and second floors.
However, if he included Mu Qingqing, he could also accept Xiao-level missions on the third floor.
Mu Qingqing was quite interested in assassination missions.
Eagerly, she went to the mission wall on the second floor to check the available tasks.
"You-level mission: Assassinate the Third Prince of Shui Ze Kingdom, Shui Ze Yi. Mission reward: 100 assassin points."
"You-level mission: Assassinate the Sect Master of Luo Ying Sect, Bai Yue Yao. Mission reward: 200 assassin points!"
"You-level mission: Assassinate the Palace Master of Hao Tian Palace, Li Xuan. Mission reward: 200 assassin points!"
