"Back then, I used Gu magic to change my appearance and there was a price to pay: it was a permanent change and I could never revert to my original form. Do you know what it feels like to face your enemy's appearance every day? You'll never understand," Oda Manaka said faintly, her heart already convinced that Li Qingyun was the enemy regardless of the reasons.
"However, after I joined the Sun Shadow Association, my thoughts changed. At least it constantly reminded me of who my enemy was, and using this face made certain matters much more convenient."
"The day I joined the Sun Shadow Association, I had a conflict with the leader of the Shrine, and unfortunately, he died at my hands. The good thing about the Association is that, as long as there is a legitimate reason, killing someone isn't a big deal, like a duel, for instance. That's how I killed the former leader and quite naturally, the Sun Shadow Association appointed me as the new leader of the Shrine."
