Ling Mo Xie comforted Sun Xiaoxiao for a moment before walking towards Bai Yunfei. Just as Bai Yunfei was lamenting his regrets, Ling Mo Xie grabbed him by the neck and lifted him up, squinting as he said, "If I hand you over to the city lord, I should be able to get quite a bounty, right?"
Bai Yunfei's expression froze in annoyance. He looked up at Ling Mo Xie and forced a flattering smile, saying, "Look, brother! We didn't do anything to that woman, right? You haven't lost anything either, so let's just forget about this!"
"Brother? Who's your brother? Don't go making connections out of nowhere; we're not that close." Ling Mo Xie tightened his grip on Bai Yunfei's neck. This guy was a legendary thief; if he wasn't careful, he might just slip away.
Just as Bai Yunfei was being restrained by Ling Mo Xie, a notification sound rang out: "Ding! Congratulations! Sudden Mission completed. You have received one Celestial Servant and one Intermediate Experience Pill, which have been added to your backpack. Please check them yourself!"
Added to the backpack? Ling Mo Xie was taken aback. Hong Chi was also his Celestial Servant, but since he couldn't yet utilize his powers, those skills were of no use! He wanted to see what kind of Celestial Servant the system had given him, but did that mean the Celestial Servant wasn't human? Or could a person also be stored in the backpack?
While Ling Mo Xie was filled with doubts, he suddenly heard a voice say, "I—I am willing to become your servant!" Ling Mo Xie looked at Bai Yunfei in surprise. What was going on?
At that moment, Bai Yunfei himself was even more shocked. What was he saying? Oh heavens! He had been thinking about how to escape from Ling Mo Xie's grasp! How could he possibly say something like that?
He had been preparing to flatter Ling Mo Xie and ask him to let him go but unexpectedly found himself saying those words involuntarily. Bai Yunfei was almost in tears from anxiety, but his mouth simply wouldn't listen to his brain.
Ling Mo Xie was only surprised for a moment before looking at the system's Celestial Servant interface; Bai Yunfei's name was clearly visible. With Ling Mo Xie holding him and having gained control over his mouth, Bai Yunfei quickly exclaimed, "You—you can't take that seriously! That wasn't me speaking! I really didn't say that!"
Ling Mo Xie's lips curled into a smile. He hadn't expected that this time the system didn't just conjure up a reward for him; it must have manipulated Bai Yunfei instead. He didn't believe for a second that Bai Yunfei would say something like that on his own!
Since Bai Yunfei was now his Celestial Servant, Ling Mo Xie no longer feared him escaping and simply tossed him onto the ground.
However, it seemed Bai Yunfei still hadn't realized his predicament. As soon as Ling Mo Xie loosened his grip, he darted away like a gust of wind, fleeing into the distance with such speed that even a Nascent Soul Stage expert would struggle to catch up. Truly worthy of being from the legendary Illusionary Void Sect!
Ling Mo Xie nodded in satisfaction and did not pursue Bai Yunfei.
"You're just going to let him go like that? The Illusionary Void Sect may have only two members, but it is no less a major sect than any of the three great sects of the Izumo Kingdom, and its history is even longer than that of the three great sects of the Izumo Kingdom. If word gets out that you captured someone from the Illusionary Void Sect, you could become famous across the ten nearby countries! At that point, entering a sect even more powerful than the three great sects of the Izumo Kingdom wouldn't be impossible!"
Seeing that Ling Mo Xie had so easily let Bai Yunfei go, Long Lao was astonished and said to Ling Mo Xie, eager to see him regret his decision.
Meanwhile, Ling Siwen, who had shown no extra expression before, was surprised by Long Lao's words and exclaimed, "What? The Illusionary Void Sect is that Not Bad?" "Little Seven! You can't let him go! I'll go catch him!" With that, he activated his Spiritual Energy and prepared to chase after Bai Yunfei.
Upon hearing Ling Siwen's words, Long Lao glanced at him and said, "What? Do you doubt my words? The speed of the Illusionary Void Sect is unmatched. If Ling Mo Xie could catch them, it would naturally attract the attention of those super large sects!"
Looking at Ling Siwen, who was about to chase after Bai Yunfei, with his Spiritual Energy activated, Ling Mo Xie smiled and shook his head, saying, "Don't worry! He will come back!"
Upon hearing this from Ling Mo Xie, Long Lao, Gao Lao, and even Ling Siwen looked at him in surprise, thinking: This kid can't be regretting it so much that he's lost his mind, right? He's not an idiot; how could he possibly come back on his own?
"Little Seven, don't talk nonsense. Don't worry! I will definitely bring him back!" Ling Siwen said with some concern as he looked at Ling Mo Xie.
Ling Mo Xie looked at Ling Siwen speechlessly and then gazed in the direction where Bai Yunfei had long since disappeared. He softly said, "Bai Yunfei, come back!"
Long Lao and Gao Lao exchanged glances and then shook their heads. This Ling Mo Xie really didn't have good mental fortitude! They had previously thought highly of him, believing he was someone who could achieve great things!
However, to everyone's astonishment, as soon as Ling Mo Xie called out lightly, a gust of wind swept by, and the previously vanished Bai Yunfei suddenly reappeared before them.
With a look of panic on his face, Bai Yunfei himself didn't understand why he had turned around while running and ended up coming back on his own.
Ling Mo Xie walked over with a slight smile and patted Bai Yunfei on the shoulder, saying, "Brother, you might as well stop running to avoid wasting your energy. Don't you think so?"
Bai Yunfei frowned, his handsome face contorted in frustration as he replied, "Who are you calling brother? Stop trying to establish a connection! Let me go! Please, I beg you!"
Ling Mo Xie shrugged his shoulders and said, "There's nothing I can do! Whether you call me 'Big Brother' or 'Great Grandfather,' it doesn't matter. You brought this upon yourself by saying you wanted to be my servant. Maybe it's fate listening to you? To keep your word, you'll have to endure being my servant!" Ling Mo Xie said this with a helpless expression, but the glimmer of amusement in his eyes made it clear he wasn't truly helpless.
Bai Yunfei was genuinely anxious and on the verge of tears. After all, he was the most talented thief in history! Who would have thought he would stumble at this point? No, it should be said that he misjudged the situation! He glanced at Sun Xiaoxiao, who was teasing Xiao Peng, realizing it was all due to his own misjudgment!
What does it mean when one misstep leads to eternal regret? This is what it means! Just think about how my bright future as a thief has been ruined by this wrong decision! If only I had listened to my master and gone to the city lord's mansion to steal the Qing Shuang Jian, I might have succeeded by now.
"Gentlemen, this matter is indeed my apprentice's fault. I, Old Man, apologize on his behalf. I hope you can spare him," a loud voice echoed through the forest. Before anyone could react, they saw a Blue-Clad Old Man standing not far ahead.
