Pei Jinye, upon seeing this, discreetly began to probe the identity of the other party.
The middle-aged scholar merely shook his head: "Time has been too long, who I am and where I come from, I can no longer remember. Only these few ancient books have kept me company."
Upon hearing this, Pei Jinye cast his eyes towards the ancient books.

"I do not awaken every day, and each time I am awake it is only for a few days... I only remember having awakened one hundred twenty-one times."

Pei Jinye silently looked on.

He did not know that the middle-aged scholar was using his own soul power to protect him.
"Do you like reading, senior?"
"I do."
