Black-faced Ah Ci was stunned at this moment.
"You really are the owner."
The leader was also startled and jumped off the counter with the white-faced man in his arms.
He thought about it very carefully, then pointed to the dark-faced Ah Ci beside her.
"You, go fight her. I need to know her skills. This is an order from above."
Dark-faced A-Ci was stunned again: "Me? Why don't you hit me yourself!"
Bai Lingshan lowered her eyes for a moment beneath her mask.
From the moment I heard that they were looking for the holder, I thought of the time I met with Wang Zirui.
Sure enough, they sent her to gather information, since she was the new holder on their side.
"No need for all that trouble. You were sent by the demon-hunting team, right? Go back and tell them that I am the real person."
She emphasized her words and took off her mask.
The half-face mask was removed, revealing her face, which had been hidden for months. Her delicate features, if not accompanied by a fierce expression, would have made it difficult to intimidate those present.
Everyone was shocked by what they saw; besides panic and fear, there was also shock and delight.
"Demon Sister!"
"Sister Yun..."
At that moment, the guard at the gate suddenly seemed possessed, his body twisting and swaying against the gatepost as if he were out of control.
"What are you doing now!" The leader was startled.
"It's her! Bai Lingshan, the holder of the Book of Featherfall! I've seen her before!! I... I don't want the prize money!"
When Bai Lingshan's gaze fell on his face, his legs went weak, and he scrambled and rolled away, disappearing from sight.
Looking back at Bai Lingshan, the leader's brows furrowed in dismay. "Damn it, why would someone with such a coward take on a mission?"
He had indeed heard about the holder some time ago, but he had never seen what she looked like in person.
"If you're not dead, why pretend to be a new holder?"
A hint of helplessness flashed in Bai Lingshan's eyes.
Of course, it was to cater to Wang Zirui's ideas.
But she didn't reply to him; she just stared at him coldly.
"Let him go."
The job was originally meant for four people, but one of them ran away. The remaining two were practically useless, either huddled in a corner trembling or lying all over the floor.
"A bunch of useless trash," he couldn't help but spit out. But thankfully, he had completed the task of verifying the existence of the Featherfall Book holder and observing his strength. As long as he left and got the reward, what did it matter if he suffered a little humiliation? "I'll let him go, and you'll let me go?"
"it is good."
Bai Lingshan nodded without hesitation.
The title of Bai Lingshan, the holder of the Book of Fallen Feathers, is so intimidating to outsiders because of the rumors deliberately spread by Hong Ye.
She can easily end this crisis by maintaining a fierce persona.
But at that moment, the leader hesitated.
The fact that the bonus was reduced from four people's to three people's made him feel resentful and unhappy.
He glanced at the ring on her right hand that could control the Book of Falling Feathers.
Since you care so much about the hostages he holds, why not take a gamble and multiply the reward tenfold?
Thinking about it, he pulled back the pale-faced Ah Tao, who was about to let go.
"What...what are you trying to do now?" the pale-faced man panicked.
The leader pointed the tip of his knife at Bai Lingshan's right hand, raised his head arrogantly, and said, "I've changed my mind. I want the ring on your hand, or else I'll collect his corpse."
"Don't push your luck!" Even Mirror Shadow, who had been watching from the sidelines, couldn't stand it anymore.
She had just raised her hand when Bai Lingshan stopped her.
Saving the pale-faced man was the priority right now, so she quickly pulled off the ring on her finger and threw it at him.
If he continues to change his mind, then she will take action.
"That's more like it." He took the ring and gave a wicked smile, then with a pale face, he slowly walked out the door.
"Brother Lou! Look at us! We're still here!"
The leader snorted coldly, saying that if he went out himself, he would not only get ten times the prize money, but he could also keep it all for himself.
"If you're incompetent, then die here! Don't drag me down with you!"
With a forceful push, the white-faced Ah Tao was pushed into the arms of the black-faced Ah Ci.
The moment the two embraced, they merged into one body shared by two heads.
"Ah Ci! Waaah!"
"Don't cry, don't cry! We'll never be apart again! We'll never fight again!"
"Um!!"
By the time Bai Lingshan followed him out the door, that guy had almost disappeared.
The large machete he had abandoned in the middle lay there alone, seemingly hindering his maximum running speed for escaping.
Mirror Shadow snorted, "He got off too easy. We just let him go like that?"
Bai Lingshan sighed.
“What else can we do? He has to get back safely and report back, otherwise, someone even more powerful might come.”
The scouts never returned. If it were her, she would send an even more capable group to scout again.
"Then why not just kill them, go back and report, and the demon-hunting team will come?"
"Those who are meant to come will come sooner or later."
She is already the new owner, so the fact that the demon hunters are still coming to her means that they just want the Book of Featherfall.
“Giving them the ring might lower their guard.”
In this way, they shouldn't bring more terrifyingly powerful companions when they come looking for her.
Bai Lingshan looked intently at her reflection in the mirror.
"When the time comes, you can use the Thousand Threads to help me get the ring back."
She dared to give him the ring not because she thought she could deal with them with just a few talismans to unseal the spirits, but because the power to control others was in the hands of the mirror.
The holder's weakness is that, due to the contract, she can only use the talisman number through the Star Shift Ring, but she also has the right to control the talisman number and can give it to her companions to use.
Upon hearing this, Mirror Shadow revealed a satisfied smile. "Master, you've become clever! You even thought of giving me Thousand Silk in advance, so even if we can't beat them, we can still scare them!"
Just as he established his impressive persona, the Star Guardian Kitten came to sabotage it.
"The little follower gave you the Thousand Threads in advance only because she was a coward. She was afraid that if the Star Shift Ring was stolen, she wouldn't be able to get it back."
Bai Lingshan chuckled.
Yes, ever since she met Wang Zirui that day, she had been worried that this day would come, so she gave Qian Si to Jing Ying and taught her how to use it.
It just so happens that the silk thread she had given her as a precaution actually came in handy.
Mirror Image was silent for a moment, then sighed inwardly, "Fine, I guess I was overthinking it."
Afterwards, the group entered the inn.
The inn was left in a mess after they vandalized it.
"The...the holder, no, no, no! Lady White, spare me! I...we...you..."
The black-and-white-faced man angrily manipulated his body, forcefully kicking the guy kneeling in front of them.
The moment she met the black-and-white face's gaze, tears welled up in both of their eyes.
"Sister Demon... Sister Demon, is it you who came back to see us? Xiao Ci and Xiao Tao missed you so much!"
"Yes! Sister Yun, it's been ten thousand years, why are you only coming back to see us now?"
Bai Lingshan was speechless. She understood that it was because her appearance resembled that of A Yun.
She lowered her head. "I'm sorry, I'm not her. You've mistaken me for someone else, and..."
