He had no way to force Wei Qianqian to come forward and testify against her biological father. The fact that she was willing to tell them about Xuan Jian was something Bai Yuan had already obtained in exchange for a promise.
Just then, Lin He rushed over.
"My lord, something terrible has happened!"
This was the first time they had ever seen Lin He so flustered; Bai Yuan and Wuming's expressions...
"What happened?"
"A secret letter just arrived from Lord Xinling's residence: the Grand General of Wei has been assassinated and has passed away, but this news has been suppressed for the time being."
Upon hearing this, everyone present was shocked, as they knew very well that Xuan Jian must have done it.
"As far as I know, the Wei general was also the leader of the Armored Sect. His martial arts were not weak. I never expected that he would die under the Xuanjian Sword."
Wuming sighed with some regret.
It's truly a shame that a great general of Wei didn't die on the battlefield or at the hands of the enemy, but was killed by his own people!
"Wei Yong is truly ruthless when it comes to power. Next, he'll probably kill Xuan Jian!"
Bai Yuan could already foresee what would happen next. In order to eliminate future troubles, Wei Yong would definitely try to kill Xuan Jian.
"Lin He, send someone to Lord Xinling's residence to tell him that Wei Yong will definitely set up a trap to kill Xuan Jian, and this will be the best opportunity to take him down!"
"Here!"
Upon hearing this, Lin He immediately sent someone to deliver the message.
"It seems we'll be able to leave Daliang soon."
Bai Yuan stretched, finally feeling relieved.
But Wuming said at this moment, "There is still one thing I haven't done before I leave. You promised Wei Qianqian that you would help her."
Bai Yuan's smile froze instantly.
“We went together, Mr. Nameless, you can’t just stand aside!”
Wuming smiled and remained silent.
Because the news came so suddenly, Bai Yuan had no intention of resting. He said goodbye and went back to his room to prepare the things he would need for the next operation.
Jingni, who had been in a daze, thought for a moment and followed.
Upon arriving at Bai Yuan's room, she pushed open the door without a second thought, only to find Bai Yuan inside doing something indescribable to her mask.
Her face immediately darkened, and she snatched the mask away.
"What are you doing?"
Bai Yuan was wiping Jing Ni's mask when it was suddenly snatched away by the original owner of the mask, leaving him feeling quite embarrassed.
"I might need to borrow it in a couple of days, so..."
"This is my thing!"
Jing Ni clutched the mask in her hand, clearly unwilling to lend it to Bai Yuan.
"Ningyan, don't forget who you are now. Aren't your things mine too?"
Bai Yuan reached out and, somewhat shamelessly, demanded the mask from him.
Unfortunately, Jing Ni wasn't buying it and snorted coldly, "Aren't you afraid of being exposed by wearing this mask?"
Hearing this, Bai Yuan finally understood why Jing Ni had reacted so strongly.
"So that's what you were worried about. Actually, I made a small modification to this mask."
"Change? What do you mean?"
Jing Ni looked at the mask in her hand, utterly puzzled.
Bai Yuan didn't waste any words. He simply took the mask from her hand and gently put it on his face.
Then the mask seemed to come alive, undergoing a magical transformation, and finally formed a face completely different from Bai Yuan's—it was Wuming's!
"You! How is this possible!"
Jingni rubbed her eyes and realized it wasn't a hallucination. She couldn't help but reach out and touch it. It didn't feel metallic at all; it felt like a real human face, and it even had warmth.
That wasn't all. Bai Yuan opened his palm, waved it in front of him, and made a face-changing gesture.
The next moment, he transformed back into Chisongzi, leaving Jingni speechless for a long time.

Chapter 36: Donning a Disguise, Starting to Cause Trouble
After demonstrating the effect, Bai Yuan removed the mask and transformed back into his original form.
"How's it going? Not bad, right?"
The reason this mask has such a magical effect is naturally because it has been loaded with entries.
【Name】:The Ever-Changing Mask
[Entry]: Ever-changing (Blue)
【Ever-Changing】: Wearing it allows you to transform your face into the face of any person of the same sex you have ever seen, but it will continuously consume a small amount of internal energy. Repeated transformations in a short period of time may cause the transformation to go out of control.
He got this entry by luck a while ago. Such a useful blue entry is rare. With it, Bai Yuan is essentially given countless aliases, which can save him a lot of trouble at crucial moments.
So he kept it, and now it has indeed come in handy.
Compared to its powerful effects, the amount of internal energy it consumes is negligible.
As for the issue of losing control, there's absolutely no need to worry about it as long as you pay attention to one thing.
Seeing her mask being played with so skillfully by Bai Yuan, Jing Ni was filled with nothing but astonishment.
"how did you do it?"
She looked at the mask in Bai Yuan's hand, her eyes flashing with an inexplicable light.
"This is my secret, do you want to try it?"
Bai Yuan did not answer her question, but instead handed the mask to her.
Jingni took the mask and eagerly put it on her face, but the mask did not react at all.
Just as she was wondering what was going on, Bai Yuan's voice rang in her ears.
"Just think of the face of a woman you have seen, and then channel a little internal energy into the mask."
Upon hearing his words, Jingni immediately did as he said, recalling the image of a maid she had seen at Lord Xinling's residence that day. Then, she channeled a wisp of internal energy into the mask.
The mask did indeed react; she touched her face and found that the metallic texture was gone.
Bai Yuan also handed over a bronze mirror at the right time. Jing Ni looked at herself in the mirror and her eyes widened. With this mask, she could truly escape the net!
"Alright, you've tried it, now it's time to give the mask back to me."
Bai Yuan reached out to Jing Ni to ask for the mask, his attitude as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
Jing Ni reluctantly took off her mask and handed it to Bai Yuan, but she didn't let go, staring blankly at Bai Yuan.
Seeing the expression on her face, Bai Yuan knew what she was thinking, so he promised, "I'll give it to you after I'm done using it."
Jingni then let go.
This mask is the key to whether she can truly escape the clutches of the Net. With it, she can openly appear before everyone under another identity and completely get rid of the Net's shadow.
Jingni was initially confused and afraid about the future, but now she has a sense of sudden enlightenment.
Ignoring Jingni, who was daydreaming about the future, Bai Yuan put away his mask and went to find Lin He, asking him to prepare an ordinary longsword for him.
Since he needs to conceal his identity, he definitely can't use the Peach Blossom Sword, otherwise he'll easily expose himself.
Unlike him, Wuming, though also going to help, made no preparations whatsoever. Instead, he sat in the backyard drinking tea and cultivating his mind alongside Lu, completely unafraid that things might go wrong.
To expose one's identity.
Seeing Wuming looking so relaxed, Bai Yuan couldn't help but sigh, the Sitting in Oblivion Technique was truly convenient!
Now, with this mental technique, Wuming can make it difficult for others to see his face clearly, and he can also reduce others' impressions of him to a certain extent. The specific effect is that others can't remember what he looks like.
In other words, even without Bai Yuan's ever-changing mask, he could still conceal his identity while causing trouble.
Although he coveted the effects, Bai Yuan would not change his mind about cultivating this mental technique.
After all, to reach the level of being nameless, one must cultivate the meditation technique to an extremely high level, which requires a combination of temperament, talent, and hard work.
Now he has enough of a variety of masks.
Time flies, and the weather in Daliang has gradually turned cooler recently.
As night fell, a cool breeze blew by. Bai Yuan slowly opened his eyes, looked at the changing clouds above, and sighed softly, "The world is about to change."
"My lord, news has just arrived that the Wei Wuzu have made a move."
Just then, Lin rushed in from outside, bringing the news they had been waiting for.
After hearing this, Bai Yuan smiled and looked at Wuming: "After waiting for several days, there's finally some action. Mr. Wuming, it's time for us to set off."
After saying that, he picked up the mask and put it on, transforming himself into a somewhat androgynous and sinister-looking person. Combined with the red clothes he had specially prepared, he looked like a completely different person.
Now that we've put on our disguises, we can start causing trouble.
To avoid attracting attention, the two quietly left through the back door.
Inside the Xuanxin Pavilion, Jingni felt a mix of emotions as she watched Bai Yuan and Wuming leave.
"They just left me here without a second thought?"
Bai Yuan and Wuming were naturally at ease. They knew very well that since Jing Ni was now determined to break free from the Luo Wang, she would never try anything while they were away.
After leaving Xuanxin Pavilion, the two headed straight for the barbican. According to the news, a large number of Wei Wu soldiers had been transferred to the barbican at the city gate.
As expected, Wei Yong intended to trap Xuan Jian, kill him, and bury the secret.
As for Lord Xinling, Wei Wuji, he seems to have made no move, even though Ming Yuan had already notified him in advance.
Bai Yuan didn't care whether Wei Wuji would get involved. They came here only to fulfill their previous promise to Wei Qianqian and ensure that she and Xuan Jian could leave safely.
At this time, a curfew had been imposed in Daliang, so the streets were quiet and deserted, without a single pedestrian.
