The sage was determined to die.

Inside a secluded, narrow crevice in the mountain wall, several people huddled together, sitting there completely hidden. An outsider would never guess that there were actually people there.

The three of them did not remove their hoods, and then, as if to follow local custom, Ji Bai also put one on Wang Zhixuan.

Wang Zhixuan was already a sickly and injured man, and now he was inexplicably covered with a hood that was tightly bound, making him feel like he couldn't breathe.

"Do I need it too?" he struggled to ask.

Ji Bai glanced at him and said, "It wouldn't be good if someone recognized you."

He paused, then added, "Moreover, this makes us appear as a professional team."

Although Wang Zhixuan hadn't looked in a mirror, he could still imagine how battered and bruised his face must look at that moment.

He even followed his heart a little and couldn't help but blurt out, "Looking like this, even my enemies probably wouldn't recognize me."

The speaker meant well, but the listener didn't.

Despite being behind a mask, Wang Zhixuan couldn't help but scrutinize the expressions of the people in front of him. He deliberately uttered the words "gathering enemies" to observe their reactions.

Ji Bai hadn't expected this person to be so humorous. Hearing him say that, Ji Bai couldn't help but twitch his lips and said, "It is a bit ugly."

Taking advantage of the fact that the other party couldn't recognize him, Yan Ming added, "What's so important about a man's face... Okay, a face is indeed important, you're disfigured."

He wasn't stupid, so of course he wouldn't reveal that he knew this person.

The other party suddenly said that, wasn't it just trying to trick them?

Thinking of this, Yan Ming couldn't help but feel a little smug.

Look, how could I possibly fall for such a simple linguistic trick?

Gongsun Yang simply didn't say anything.

He now deliberately changes his voice every time he speaks. Although Wang Zhixuan doesn't know him and there won't be many opportunities to meet in the future, it would be troublesome if the other party didn't die and recognized him later.

But why not kill him?

Gongsun Yang's gaze involuntarily shifted to Ji Bai. He didn't sense any killing intent or malice from Ji Bai, but the other party's indifferent attitude inexplicably instilled a sense of fear in him.

A person without flaws is sometimes the most terrifying.

Gongsun Yang repeatedly reminded himself that after parting ways with Ji Bai, he should not become enemies with him, but he should at least draw a clear line between them.

Otherwise, you'll definitely be the one who suffers.

These people are smarter than I thought.

Wang Zhixuan was naturally not discouraged. Although he wanted to know the true identities of these people, he would never easily alert them.

After all, it's the snake that gets scared, but you're the one who'll be the one who gets hurt.

After adjusting to the hood for a while, Wang Zhixuan spoke up, "What are your plans for the next step?"

He paused, then began to speak: "Actually, there should be quite a few people like me. Logically speaking, we could continue to..."

He didn't say the last word.

Ji Bai glanced at him and said with relief, "Robbery? Murder? Arson? It seems like the last one has already been done."

He waved his hand, appearing very gentle.

"We're pacifists, how can we just rob others all the time?" Ji Bai said. "That's not right."
