Inside the Mirror Stream Pavilion, Lin Ce was greatly shocked when he saw the stunningly beautiful face in front of him.
He naturally recognized this "person".
This face was exactly the same as the one he had seen before, the one that had trapped him in the feng shui tornado.
Adding Yu Jiu standing next to that "person," the other party's identity is self-evident.
Yu Jiu also subconsciously looked at Lin Ce and saw his unfamiliar sallow face. When his gaze fell on the spear behind him, his body trembled slightly.
She clearly recognized Lin Ce.
Lin Ce smiled bitterly to himself, realizing that his disguise had been in vain.
He was wearing a mask and had changed into a new set of clothes taken from Su Qianzhong's boat.
However, the spear, forged from the incomplete inner core of a great demon, could not be separated from him, so he naturally carried it on his back.
Having worked as a bodyguard at the escort agency for several months, Yu Jiu naturally recognized him at a glance.
"Is it someone you know?"
The scrutinizing gaze of the figure beside Yu Jiu fell upon Lin Ce.
Lin Ce's blood almost froze; he was ready to flee.
I wonder if the other party still remembers the spear on my back.
However, at that time, I was caught in a feng shui tornado, and as a nobody, the other party might not be interested in paying too much attention to me.
"No, I just think it's too ugly."
Yu Jiu shook his head, turned away, and did not acknowledge her.
At this moment, she naturally knew what she should do.
The figure smiled.
"Half-mermaids are blessed with the beauty and spirit of heaven and earth, so they can't stand such ugly and vulgar things. As humans, they are even better at these bewitching methods than demons. They don't even dare to show their true faces to people. Sometimes they really don't know which side is human and which side is demon."
The figure was referring to the various things happening in the Mirror Stream Workshop.
"We've seen enough, let's go."
After speaking, the figure turned to leave.
Lin Ce and Su Qianzhong both breathed a sigh of relief.
"...Are you just leaving like that? What about all of this...?"
Yu Jiu's gaze fell on the dancing half-mermaids, his eyes revealing reluctance.
“Of course I can take it away, but can I take it once, or every time? Besides, there are many other places in this world, such as this one. There are other races in there. Why has no one come to take them away for so long? Do you know why?”
Why?
Yu Jiu stared at the figure, his tone quite indignant.
She knew the methods of the man before her; in her opinion, it would be an easy task for him to take away all the merfolk present.
So many of his people are suffering here, why does this person turn a blind eye and have no intention of caring about it at all?
"Because that's just how the world is."
The figure didn't answer; instead, a woman wearing a snow-white fox fur hat walked in and spoke with a smile.
Lin Ce's body, which had just relaxed, tensed up again.
The pressure emanating from the woman in the fox fur hat who had just walked in was no less than that from the figure beside Yu Jiu.
"I had long heard that there was an extraordinary sea lord among the half-mermaids, but everyone was skeptical. I never expected it to be true, and that he would come to my place. What an honor!"
The woman in the fox fur hat chuckled, "I was unaware of your presence, esteemed guest. What brings you here?"
"I don't have time to instruct you."
The figure known as the Half-Mermaid Sea Lord coldly pointed at the numerous half-mermaid women dancing gracefully in front of him and gave a light snort.
"You say that's just how the world is, but if one day the world changes, how will you cope?"
"Then I will certainly wait and see. However, I wonder who will change this world? It shouldn't be you, right? I've heard that your strength is quite good, but if you want to change this world, I'm afraid you're still far from it."
The woman in the fox-fur hat smiled and shook her head. "If you've come here for sightseeing, I'll naturally welcome you with open arms. But if you have other plans, I'm afraid I can't let you have your way. You may not know, but this Jingliufang isn't just mine."
"What are you afraid of? I didn't say I was going to cause you trouble right now."
The half-merman sea lord glanced indifferently at the woman in the fox-hat and said:
"I came here today to wait for someone, and just happened to take a stroll around here."
"Waiting for someone?"
The woman in the fox-fur hat was first surprised, then greatly alarmed.
"You...you intend to start a major war?"
"What? They're allowed to set out to sea in a massive force to slay demons, but I'm not allowed to intercept them halfway and kill human experts at sea?"
The half-merman sea lord sneered, "You, who only do small business, have really lost all your courage."
"You know perfectly well that's not the case."
The woman in the fox-fur hat frowned. "We had an agreement with them to keep to ourselves and not interfere with each other. They had already informed us of their arrival. They were only dealing with a tyrannical sea monster. What does it have to do with you and me? Why go looking for trouble?"
"Just because you won't do it doesn't mean I won't."
The half-merman sea lord stepped forward and said calmly:
"Get out of the way."
The woman in the fox fur hat remained silent.
After a long while, she finally sighed softly, stepped aside, and let the other person leave.
Only after the half-merman sea lord left did she finally exhale a deep breath after a long silence.
Her gaze fell on Su Qianzhong, and the woman in the fox-fur hat smiled and said:
"Young Master Su, I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you. Jingliufang will be closing early today."
"You know me?"
Su Qianzhong, hidden behind the human skin mask, was extremely surprised.
"Of course I recognize you. I even held you when you were little. Your scent is still the same as when you were a child..."
Seeing Su Qianzhong looking completely bewildered, the woman in the fox-hat became inexplicably angry.
"Your father never mentioned me to you?"
Su Qianzhong shook his head.
"You heartless bastard."
The woman in the fox-fur hat snorted coldly and waved her hand abruptly, "Go, don't stay here. Once you're out, hurry back to the prefectural city. Something big is about to happen here, it's no longer a place for you."
At her signal, Jingliufang began to clear the area and soon ushered the guests out, thus the entrance to Jingliufang disappeared beneath the blue waves.
On the sea, the woman in the fox-fur hat stood in mid-air, watching the direction where Su Qianzhong and the other person had left.
"The boy next to him has an interesting spear on his back. It's a familiar aura. That guy on Black Mountain is really pathetic. It's true that no matter whether you're human or demon, you still have to be pragmatic and choose the right side."
Then, she floated through the air in another direction.
"What is about to happen will undoubtedly make many people uneasy, and many others extremely excited."
Where the woman in the fox-hat couldn't see, a small boat drifted forward.
"Brother Lin, this is a big event, a really big event."
On the small boat, Su Qianzhong paced back and forth, as restless as a monkey that had just come down from the mountain.
"Judging from what that 'person' said earlier, she's going to intercept the large ship of Biyue Peak and declare war on the two prospective peak masters of Biyue Peak. Let's hurry over there; we might witness an earth-shattering battle."
Is that what you mean? I'm not quite sure.
Lin Ce shook his head. "If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving now. I still have things to take care of at the escort agency."
Just kidding. Someone of that level would be asking for trouble to go and watch a battle.
What if someone's attack misses and hits a bystander instead? Then they'll have nowhere to turn for help.
“Brother Lin, you are mistaken. The matters of the escort agency can be dealt with at any time. How can we miss such a great battle that may affect the situation of humans and demons in the surrounding area? Compared with this, the matter of forming a demon-hunting team does not seem so urgent.”
"No, my escort agency's business is extremely urgent, not a moment can be delayed. I'm leaving now, no need to see me off. I wish you a feast for the eyes and to witness the most satisfying battle."
Unaffected, Lin Cecai had already made up his mind. He jumped off the small boat and ran forward across the water.
