Ling'er originally thought that Qi Yang asked Gongsun Qian to send a message to report that she was safe, but she didn't expect that Qi Yang mentioned another thing in the letter, that the black ghost mask was missing.
At that time, Ji Cangyu ordered the corpse to be burned. Ling'er stayed far away from Xiao Yizi from the beginning to the end, never getting close at all, and he didn't know where the ghost mask went in the end.
On the way back to the West Beijing altar, Qi Yang went to the bottom of the cliff to check. No matter where the corpse was burned, or in the pile of new graves next to it, there was no trace of the ghost mask. The ghost mask was made of special materials and was not afraid of fire at all, which meant that someone had secretly put the mask away.
Qi Yang believes that the person hiding the mask is most likely Xu Jun. Xu Jun is very suspicious, and there is no guarantee that he will not test Ling'er again.
Qi Yang told Ling'er that if a ghost-faced man in black appears, he must be careful to deal with it and not reveal his flaws. To Ling'er, the ghost-faced man in black was just a stranger he had only met once.
Qi Yang was not sure whether Ling'er knew about the death of the ghost-faced man in black when Ji Cangyu and his party were at the bottom of the cliff. He only said that if Ling'er knew about it, he would just treat it as a ghost when they met; if he didn't know, Don't show too much surprise either.
In the end, Qi Yang asked Ling'er to protect herself, but don't be afraid, there will be brothers from the Yixing clan protecting her secretly.
After reading the note, Ling'er felt warm in her heart. Brother Qiyang had thought carefully about him, but he didn't know what happened to his own injuries. Looking at the crooked handwriting, which was obviously different from the neat handwriting in the past, Ling'er felt even more distressed.

In the dead of night, Linger was lying on the bed fully clothed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.
Ling'er thought about it and finally figured it out, and couldn't help but sigh at Xu Jun's insidiousness.
She and Xiao Yizi were the only two people at the bottom of the cliff yesterday. If the ghost-faced man in black managed to escape, she and Xiao Yizi would definitely know about it and even come to rescue him. Then she would be surprised to see the unharmed ghost-faced man in black now. After all, falling from such a high cliff top would lead to serious injuries even if he died.
Ling'er felt that Xu Jun also wanted to test the relationship between him and the ghost-faced man in black, and then find out more secrets about the ghost-faced man in black from himself.
Ling'er told herself that she must deal with it carefully and not reveal any flaws.
Suddenly, there was some movement outside the window. Ling'er confirmed the thunderbolt arrows in her sleeves, then stood up and pushed the door open.
"Ah? Who are you?" Seeing the man in black standing with his back to him in the yard, Ling'er pretended to be surprised and asked.
The man in black slowly turned around, wearing the black ghost mask.
"Is it you?" Ling'er seemed to recognize the other person's identity, but was not sure, "Are you the one who saved me that night in the woods?"
Before the other party could answer, Ling'er denied again: "No, the person who saved me that night was obviously Jun... who are you?"
The man in black chuckled and slowly walked towards Ling'er.
Ling'er pretended to be scared, stepped back step by step, and said in a trembling voice: "You... don't come over! Otherwise I'll call someone."
The man in black stopped walking, and his two sharp eyes locked on Ling'er through the black ghost mask.
Ling'er was very nervous, ready to slip the thunderbolt arrow into his hand at any time.
Ling'er knew that the person in front of him was most likely Xu Jun. Xu Jun was not only a member of the cult, but also injured Brother Qi Yang many times. Ling'er was angry and resentful of him, and even wanted to take action against him to avenge Brother Qi Yang.
But Ling'er can't! She knew that in addition to the people sent by Brother Qi Yang to protect her, there must be many Xu Jun's men lurking around. It was hard to say whether she could succeed in the sneak attack on Xu Jun. Even if she succeeded, she would be in danger and would be implicated. Brother Qi Yang comes to the rescue.
Of course, there is another more important reason why Ling'er cannot take action against Xu Jun, and that is Xu Jun's other identity, Jicheng. But Ling'er didn't want to think too much about this. Ling'er still couldn't accept the fact that Xu Jun was Jicheng. She only regarded Xu Jun as an elder brother, and the brother Cheng in her heart gradually disappeared and was replaced by Qi Yang.
The man in black, that is, Xu Jun, saw Ling'er's nervousness and alertness, and thought to himself: "Is it true that this girl and the ghost-faced man in black only have a relationship? That would be a pity. An important relationship has been lost. Clues. We can’t touch her casually right now, so let’s let her go for now!”
Xu Jun snorted coldly, jumped up to the eaves, and disappeared into the night.
Ling'er took a long breath and found that her palms were all sweaty.

"Are you relieved now? Miss Ling'er is so smart, she can handle a mere Xu Jun!" Qi Dian said. As soon as he received the news from Jijiazhuang, he came to tell Qi Yang.
"Xu Jun hid the ghost mask secretly, fearing that it would not be just as simple as testing Miss Ling'er." Qi Yang lay on the bed in the small consulting room and said with a frown.
"Are you worried that he will make a fuss about the Ghost Mask?" Qi Dian asked.
"Yeah." Qi Yang nodded.
"Xu Jun is very cunning, and we can only use it as a trick. We still have to clean up the mess we made before, otherwise your fall will be in vain." Qi Dian thought of Qi Yang's unauthorized claim to cheat death to break the situation. Just get angry.
Qi Yang hurriedly changed the subject and asked: "Why isn't Brother Meng back yet? Is something going to happen?"
Qi Dian listened carefully and said: "Speak of Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here." Then he turned to look at Qi Yang and said sarcastically: "What? You are not used to having internal injuries and no internal strength, right?"
Qi Yang turned around, not wanting to respond to Qi Dian's sarcasm.
After a while, Meng Fei knocked on the door and walked into the small consulting room.
Meng Fei said ashamedly: "My subordinates are incompetent. They discovered me as soon as I sneaked into Zhenbao Villa, let alone sneaked into their accounting room."
Qi Yang smiled and said: "Jinbao Villa has hired so many nurses with high martial arts skills, so it is normal for them to be discovered."
"My subordinate overestimated his ability and insisted on giving it a try." Meng Fei said awkwardly, "Later, my subordinate gave Brother Qi's letter to the owner of the village, Qi Yunshu. After reading it, he gave it to his subordinate without saying a word. Got it." With that said, Meng Fei took out a piece of paper with a corner missing from his arms, unfolded it and handed it to Qi Yang.
Qi Yang took a look and said: "In this way, passiveness becomes active. Thank you for the hard work this time, Brother Meng!"
Meng Fei hurriedly shook his head and said, "It's not hard! It's not hard! By the way, Master Qi also said that he would have someone send a letter when there is news."
"But I don't know if Master Qi can succeed. Xu Jun is not that easy to deal with." Qi Dian said.
"Qi Yunshu has been working hard in the business field for so many years. If he didn't have this ability, it would be okay." Qi Yang said with a smile.
"You have great confidence in him." Qi Dian said, "Then let's just wait for the good news!"
