43: Won't This Expose Us?
Knock knock knock, knock knock knock.
"Hey you surnamed Bai, are you there?" Standing at Bai Ling's front door, Leticia shouted with full vigor.
After having a good exchange with the Guild Leader, Leticia had shamelessly been bought off by the Guild Leader with a golden skin.
Bringing Bai Ling along when they met would get her a free golden skin—this was totally worth it.
"Not home?" But after waiting for a long, long time, Leticia didn't see anyone come to open the door. Not only did Bai Ling not come, but Bai Ya didn't come either.
It looked like the two sisters had gone out?
This was strange. For the past week, Bai Ling had basically been staying at home being a shut-in just like Leticia.
Today she had gone out with Bai Ya, and she hadn't even come to call her beforehand, which could be said to be quite strange.
Let it be stated beforehand that Leticia didn't want that bastard Bai Ling to come call her—she was just puzzled by Bai Ling's unusual behavior.
"Whatever, it's better if she doesn't come." Leticia turned around and walked downstairs with light steps.
It was just then that Leticia saw a sneaky figure.
That person was pressed tightly against the wall, eyes unblinkingly watching Leticia. She wore a loose black robe, and magical aura surged around her body.
Leticia's gaze swept over this mysterious woman. She had already recognized what kind of magic this was.
Invisibility magic—not particularly high-level magic among the demon race. Basically any demon soldier in the demon army knew this magic.
As for its effect, it could only deceive ordinary people. Ability users of slightly higher levels could easily detect something amiss.
For example, right now.
This mysterious demon's invisibility magic had no effect on Leticia whatsoever. If Leticia hadn't immediately realized that as an ordinary person, Su Qianqian shouldn't be able to see this demon who had cast invisibility magic, she probably would have walked over to pat that person's shoulder.
"Strange, it feels like someone is watching me." Leticia pretended not to notice any abnormality and walked down the stairs step by step.
When passing by that demon, she even muttered very quietly to herself, scaring the demon into quickly turning her head away, not daring to look at Leticia.
This girl's psychological fortitude wasn't very good.
After complaining in her mind, Leticia returned to her own home.
What did that demon want to do? What did it have to do with her?
"Your Majesty, there's a magical aura outside. Has something happened?" Xue'er was waiting at the door. As soon as she saw Leticia return, she hurried forward to inquire.
The magical aura was very weak—it wasn't Her Majesty's handiwork. Could there be other demons here?
"Just a little one. She went to Bai Ling's side, don't know what she's planning to do." Leticia looked completely indifferent. If that little one could cause some trouble for Bai Ling, she couldn't be happier.
Compared to Leticia, Xue'er thought of more. "Your Majesty, do you think our location has been discovered by Princess Qila?"
"Huh?" Leticia didn't understand. The other party was obviously going after Bai Ling—how did this get connected to herself?
Xue'er quickly closed the door and lowered her voice to share her speculation. "Your Majesty, think about it—what reason would Miss Bai Ling have to be noticed by other demons?"
Leticia thought for a moment and shook her head hesitantly.
Bai Ling's identity was absolutely confidential. She could recognize Bai Ling because she had fought her before, but it would be impossible for others to know that Bai Ling was Stellar Sword Saint.
Besides, even if others knew, would they dare come?
You should know that the leaders of the elven race, beastman race, and other races had all been cut down by Bai Ling once. Those people were all the strongest of their respective races.
Only Leticia had managed to escape back alive through her solid abilities and strong survival instincts, but from the results, Bai Ling could also be said to have killed the Demon King.
"If they knew Bai Ling was Stellar Sword Saint, would they only send such an absurdly weak person?" The more Xue'er thought about it, the more she felt her speculation was correct.
"That demon was somewhat nervous, but not fearful. If she knew she was about to face humanity's Sword Saint, she definitely wouldn't have such a performance." Leticia was convinced by Xue'er. She realized she was now quite dangerous. "Early or late would have been fine, but it had to be at this time."
How long had Qila been away from the Demon Realm? To be able to locate her position so precisely was truly terrifying.
"But all this is still just our speculation. Now that Miss Bai Ling isn't home, perhaps we can capture that person." Xue'er stated her plan. "Ask her what she's here for—how about it?"
"Good, good idea!" Leticia immediately agreed with Xue'er's method. "The robes we used a few days ago are still here. Let's wear that set."
"Time is of the essence, Your Majesty. Let's hurry up and prepare." At this moment, Xue'er seemed to see that former Demon King—Her Majesty back then was also so swift and decisive, so captivating.
It was truly... nostalgic.
