Background / History

Lingling works through the Qingtian Hunter's Association and becomes Bai Mo's assigned hunting partner after the Swiftwind Wolf investigation. She monitors missions, provides intelligence, and can direct Bai Mo to urgent assignments, including the city defense against the invading Swiftwind Wolves. 26 28 30

Her pursuit of the Shanjing case establishes her investigative approach. After learning that Shanjing prey on children and young women while operating fraud and trafficking networks, she refuses to treat the capture of one creature as a sufficient solution. She researches historical accounts with Bai Mo, identifies the creatures' adaptive evolution as the reason older detection methods failed, and develops a Wind-Seeking Guide to locate another Shanjing. 88 90 91

Lingling later investigates ancient artifacts, scripts, totem clues, and secret realms. Her work includes studying Yelang documents, identifying the Fang token's inscription, translating records from an earlier human civilization, and organizing the history inscribed on the Bronze Ancient Tree's leaves. 147 246 490 491

After receiving a letter concerning her father and the Red Demon, Lingling takes part in the investigation of Pingwang Valley with Mo Fan. Bai Mo provides her with the Black Rhinoceros Armor Summoner, allowing her to fight directly against Lu Kun and his forces. 530 531
