Eternal Thief



"Junior Union Leader (White), you have free access to all the twenty-one floors of the Inner Sun Domain Library and can stay indefinitely inside!"

Ace wasn't surprised by this declaration at all since the Union Leader had already told him. 

But he noticed something as he asked curiously, "21 floors? But this building only has 20 floors?" 

"Indeed, but for anyone below High Union Elder Rank. For High Union Elders or above rank member, like for Junior Union Leader, you can gain access to the Secret Floors that exists in the Inner and Core Libraries. As for the content on these floors, I'm afraid Junior Union Leader has to explore yourself." The impassive voice explained. 

Ace felt it made sense to have such floors for high-ranking members of the union, and he was quite interested in these secret floors since they could contain valuable information on the Union. 

However, he can't appear too obvious as the Union Leader might be monitoring him. Furthermore, he can't use the Myriad Vizard Thief Mask's Unseen Thief ability right now because if he got monitored by some surveillance formation, he would vanish. 

Then, if that formation were observed by the Union Leader, he would be in huge trouble as it would be hard to explain how he was able to vanish like a ghost and reappear.

Although he got a huge boon by becoming the Junior Union Leader, it also brought forth the attention of a being like the Union Leader. In a sense, it was riskier than rewarding. 

But Ace knew as long as he played along well and didn't make any suspicious moves, even the Union Leader will not find any fault with him. 

Ace was about to move inside when he heard a voice filled with surprise, "A Union Student Human? Why are you here?" 

Ace turned around and saw a graceful huntress with currish eyes looking at him in surprise. She wore sky blue union robes, which made her a Union Instructor. 

The Union robes had different colors with different ranks; students and scholars wore white and green. While the instructor and elder wore sky blue and blue, and the high elders wore the color purple. 

However, what drew Ace's attention was this was a woman in the sun domain, which shouldn't be the case since women were supposed to be in the moon domain. 

So, without bothering to ask her, he directly started to probe her memories since it would be quite convenient in the long run, for he still didn't know about the inner sun domain structure. 

While he annexed the huntress's memories at a terrifying rate, Ace decided to reply, "Why I can't be here?" 

The huntress with green hair replied coldly, with squinted eyes, "Why the hell are you asking a question instead of answering it? Do you learn no manner how to respect your seniors?" 

Ace didn't find the Huntress with a princess-like overbearing attitude offensive as he knew the people with lower union ranks were always respectful toward the people with the higher union rank. 

However, White's status now was equivalent to the Sun Lord and Moon Lord, even they had to show now some restraint in front of him as the Sun Lord did. So, he wasn't afraid of anyone in this place. 

Besides, he was in a hurry to start the preparation to clear the requirement that the Union Leader emplaced on him so he could head into the secret realm of the sun domain. 

"Just don't bother me." White dismissively replied before he turned around and started walking toward the library's entrance. 

The Huntress was baffled by White's dismissive attitude, and despite her warning, he still acted ruder than before. 

"Y-you! Stop right there!" The Huntress yelled furiously as no human dared to talk to her this way, not to mention of mere Union Student brat. She even released her golden Qi river core aura.

If it were really a union student, she would've been fine since she could punish the Union Student for being rude toward her, a higher union-rank cultivator. 

But alas, White's current status was something that even High Union Elder would fear right now. 

So, the moment she released her aura on White, something shocking happened, which even made Ace startled. 

Out of nowhere, a green reinforcer suddenly emerged right between the huntress and White and completely blocked the huntress's aura before it could even touch White's clothes. 

The huntress was also shocked, and a hint of fear flashed past her eyes when she saw the green reinforcer appear out of nowhere. 

She clearly knew these reinforcers would come on the moment noticed when someone broke grave rules of the union. However, she clearly didn't break any such rule, but for some reason, this reinforcer's ghastly aura was locked on her. 

A cold, emotionless voice rang, "Union Instructor Veile, for the crime of attacking the Junior Union Leader, you shall be imprisoned in the Union Penitentiary for three years without any trial!"

The huntress was dumbfounded and looked at White in bewilderment before horror started to creep into her body, 'J-Junior… junior what?!'

Before she could collect her thoughts and figure out what just transpired, the green reinforcer enveloped her in green Qi and then shot toward the sky with her, and any kind of resistance was futile. 

Ace looked at the empty spots where the green reinforcer and the huntress stood just now and looked toward the sky as they were already turned into small dots. 

In the end, he chuckled softly and thought, 'I can get used to this status thing.'

Although he didn't get all her memories, he got enough to go around, and it wasn't like he won't encounter someone else, so he didn't think much about this incident and headed inside the library in a good mood. 

Now, he could just focus on the union leader while he didn't have to worry about anyone else. Of course, he still hadn't forgotten about the snake-like Sun Lord and mysterious Moon Lord…
