The next day, Qin Ziling arrived at the Tiandi No. 1 Restaurant.

This is the place where Murong Shun arranged to meet him.

Guided by the waiter, Qin Ziling arrived at a private room.

Pushing open the door, he saw Murong Shun, who was drinking tea, with a table full of food in front of him.

It's worth mentioning that besides Murong Shun, there was another woman in the private room.

Her long, jet-black hair cascaded down her shoulders, flowing gently like a waterfall. Her eyes and brows revealed a sense of determination and wisdom. Her skin was smooth and delicate, her figure graceful, her chest slightly rounded, her curves alluring. Her features were exquisitely beautiful, yet she possessed a cold and aloof beauty. Her eyes were like water, yet carried a hint of iciness, as if she could see through everything.

Upon seeing this woman, Qin Ziling froze for a moment, then turned and left.

"Stand there!!!"

A low shout rang out, filled with anger and grievance.

Qin Ziling froze, then had no choice but to turn around, glaring fiercely at Murong Shun. Meeting his pair of bright eyes, he chuckled and said, "Nightingale!"

nightingale!

This goes back a long time. Nightingale was Qin Ziling's comrade-in-arms during their time in the Dragon Palace. They entered the Dragon Palace together, became members of the Dragon Fang Squad, and eventually, Qin Ziling became a member of the Dragon Fang team.

During their time in the Dragon Palace, the two had once collaborated on a mission abroad. At that time, their strength was not very high, so they encountered a super strong enemy and an entire regiment of enemies during the mission. Qin Ziling was seriously injured while covering Nightingale's escape, and the two managed to escape to a cave on a cliff.

Conditions were extremely harsh at the time, and Qin Ziling was injured, so he developed a high fever that night. Helpless, Nightingale had to take off her clothes and hold Qin Ziling to get through the cold night.

Even after Qin Ziling's wounds healed, the two still did not go out, because the enemy outside was still searching the vicinity.

It was in that cave that Qin Ziling and Nightingale had some things that shouldn't have happened.

Nightingale was moved. She had always secretly loved Qin Ziling, but due to the organization's rules, she dared not express her feelings to her beloved. Until the night before they were about to leave the cave, she took advantage of Qin Ziling.

For her, opportunities to be alone with the two of them are too few and far between. If she misses this chance, it won't be so easy to do so again.

Because of their close relationship, Qin Ziling did not resist Nightingale's initiative; on the contrary, he felt even more sorry for her.

Since then, the two dated whenever they had the chance, passing the boring days in the army. Until the selection for the Dragon Palace Dragon Fang Squad, facing the high-intensity training every day, the two had no chance to talk about love, so their initial feelings were hidden and they became comrades-in-arms! Very close comrades-in-arms!

Speaking of which, Nightingale is one of the people Qin Ziling has wronged the most over the years. He was unable to promise her a formal status, and in order to prevent her from doing anything foolish during that incident, Qin Ziling knocked her unconscious and locked her up.

Later, he was expelled from the Dragon Palace and banished from the country.

She lived a life of quiet despair in the Dragon Palace, her spirit broken.

She's much more mature than she was back then. Qin Ziling remembers her as very lively, but now she's like an ice queen.

nightingale!

The familiar tone brought tears to the beautiful woman's eyes, and she suddenly stood up and threw herself into Qin Ziling's arms.

Noticing the delicate body trembling in his arms, Qin Ziling felt a pang of pain in his heart and gently stroked her back with his large hand.

Taking a moment, Qin Ziling's gaze fell lightly on Murong Shun, who was looking at them with a maternal smile. When he looked over, Murong Shun revealed a sly smile.

That old fox!

Qin Ziling cursed inwardly.

He had originally wanted to test his skills against the Dragon Palace and make things difficult for them, but now that the other party had actually invited Nightingale, he was caught off guard!

Damn it! I've been outmaneuvered!

Nightingale left his embrace, her tears soaking Qin Ziling's chest. She raised her beautiful, cool face, her jade-like hand stroking his cheek: "You've lost a lot of weight."

Her voice carried a hint of pity.

Qin Ziling smiled slightly: "As you get older, indigestion is common, so it's normal to lose weight."

Nightingale rolled her eyes at him: "Why didn't you tell me you were coming back?"

"I thought Vice Hall Master Murong would tell you, but why didn't he?" Qin Ziling said, glancing at Murong Shun.

The latter immediately looked annoyed. Damn, you're pretty quick to shift the blame.

Nightingale bit her lip and said, "I'm sorry I couldn't fight alongside you back then."

When the past was mentioned, Qin Ziling's smile faded slightly, and he shook his head: "This has nothing to do with you, and I don't want you to get involved."

The nightingale lowered its head slightly.

"Alright, I'm here to talk to Vice Hall Master Murong. We can catch up later." Qin Ziling ruffled her hair.

Nightingale's beautiful eyes were filled with affection: "Yes, I'll listen to you. If you don't want to go back to being Dragon Fang, I'll submit my retirement application this year and come back to be with you."

Murong Shun's eyelids twitched upon hearing this. Damn it, how did things get so bad? Nightingale was about to be kidnapped? That wasn't his intention!

Thinking of this, he quickly said, "Alright, alright, you two have hugged enough. Come and sit down, the food is getting cold."

Qin Ziling glanced at him but didn't say anything.

Seeing this, Nightingale tugged at her sleeve, her eyes filled with anticipation.

Qin Ziling sighed and could only obediently sit down.

He, Longya, a tyrant who killed his master, has never been afraid of many people, Nightingale being one of them.

After Qin Ziling and the other person sat down, Murong Shun said to Nightingale earnestly, "Girl, you can't run off with this kid. The palace examination is coming up soon, and you're representing my Dragon Group. Without you, my Dragon Group will be in trouble."

Nightingale's strength is outstanding even in the Dragon Fang Squad and the entire Dragon Palace. She is on par with Qin Ziling, and she has extremely high talent. In just a few years, she has begun to show her talent in the Dragon Palace and has been valued by the big shots.

Nightingale's pretty face remained calm: "Uncle Murong, please don't try to persuade me anymore. My heart is no longer in the Dragon Palace. If it weren't for hoping that he would come back one day, I would have retired long ago. This time, I want to live for myself."

She owed this man so much. She couldn't be there for her lover to face that incident, leaving him all alone and condemned by everyone. Just thinking about it made her heart ache!

"Oh! I really shouldn't have brought you here." Murong Shun sighed, somewhat regretful. Then he glared at Qin Ziling: "Hmph! You womanizer, you actually stole my girl away!"

"What do you mean 'your'? Nightingale doesn't share your surname Murong, and given your age, I advise you to think twice. It's impossible!" Qin Ziling said calmly.

Pfft!

Nightingale's red lips parted slightly.

Murong Shun: "..."
