"Don't ask unnecessary questions."

Unexpectedly, after listening to Qing Ning's words, Xiao remained silent. Instead, he reached out, picked up the glass of red wine in front of him, gently swirled it, and began to sip.

"I think there must be something fishy going on here. Luo Chen is ranked so high and is so young. There must be something fishy going on behind him. We shouldn't be so rash as to make a move against him."

Qing Ning got anxious, slammed her hands on the table, and half-lyed on it.

"What, you... no longer have this organization in your heart?"

Xiao raised his eyelids and suddenly asked a question.

"I……"

Qing Ning was speechless. The words she had prepared in her mind suddenly fell silent, and she could no longer utter a single word.

"Do you know who you are? You are Qing Ning, the September of the organization! The Mind Queen with a terrifying 100% mission completion rate! Have you forgotten all these titles?"

Xiao was furious, and he spoke loudly, his words coming out like a machine gun.

These words were like a hail of bullets flying through the air, leaving Qing Ning in a sorry state.

"No, no... I haven't forgotten!"

Qing Ning was speechless; she didn't know how to explain herself.

"The difficulty of this mission is only S-. Hurry up and pack your things to complete the mission."

Xiao waved his hand, his expression indifferent.

Qingning lowered her head and whispered an "oh," looking very aggrieved.

Then, as if remembering something, the portrait said, "By the way, if I remember correctly, Luo Chen's strength assessment... should be a Transcendent Realm expert, not quite a Grandmaster Realm, roughly only around A-level. With your strength, you're more than capable of handling him."

"No, boss! Listen to me."

Qingning said anxiously, pleading with the other party to give her a chance.

Xiao stared intently at Qing Ning, who also looked stubbornly at him.

After a long silence, Xiao put down his wine glass and placed it on the table. Then he sighed softly and said slowly, "Fine, go ahead and say it."

"However, I'll only give you ten minutes."

“That’s enough.” Qing Ning nodded, and then, without stopping, she expressed her doubts and speculations, as well as the fact that the Assassin Hall shouldn’t be acting so ostentatiously after losing Black Cloud Evil God, their ace assassin.

He spoke for a full ten minutes before finally finishing.

Ten minutes passed in the blink of an eye. Qingning spoke at an extremely fast pace for ten minutes, her tongue almost tied in knots. Just ten minutes later, Qingning finished explaining everything clearly.

"Plop, pluck..."

Qing Ning held a large water bottle, tilted her head back, and drank the water with relish.

There's no way around it... It's not that Qing Ning wanted to be this rough.

It was because... there were only two wine glasses in the room, and both were filled with red wine. Qing Ning really didn't want to drink them. With her throat extremely thirsty, Qing Ning just wanted to drink water.

Therefore, Lime chose this "macho" way of drinking water.

Fortunately, Qingning had good storytelling skills and had already explained the matter clearly.

"Your concerns... are valid."

Xiao raised his head, his eyes filled with contemplation. He gently lifted his index finger and slowly stroked it on the table.

"That's why I made this decision, boss. Luo Chen is really quite extraordinary. It's better if we don't make enemies with him anymore."

Qing Ning looked directly into Xiao's eyes and said this.

"Alright, then we won't be his enemy."

Surprisingly, Xiao readily agreed to Qing Ning's suggestion.

"Huh?"

This time, it was Qing Ning's turn to be dumbfounded.

"Boss, did you hear what I said?"

Qing Ning swallowed hard and asked incredulously.

"Yes, I heard everything."

Xiao stretched out his arm, lazily propping up his head, and said.

"Oh... alright then, it's good that you understand my good intentions."

Deep within Qing Ning's mind, everything remained a blur. She felt drowsy and disoriented, as if it were all unreal.

"By the way, boss, are there any other missions lately that require killing people?"

As if she had thought of something, Qing Ning looked up and asked.

"Recently? Didn't you just reject one? No more."

Xiao leaned back in his chair, reverting to his previous lazy demeanor.

Seeing Xiao like this, Qing Ning was finally relieved, and the huge weight that had been hanging over her heart was finally lifted, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

She knew that this hurdle... was finally over.

In fact, Qing Ning had known Luo Chen for a long time.

However, due to certain factors, she couldn't say it explicitly.

Therefore, the only thing that could be done was to persuade Xiao to have the Assassins' Hall cancel their assassination plan against him.

Otherwise, given the terrifying power of the Assassin's Guild, Luo Chen would surely die.

"Damn it, this little brat, how long have I been gone, and how did you manage to provoke the Assassin's Guild?"

Qing Ning cursed inwardly, wishing she could rip open Luo Chen's skull.

Just like when he was a kid, he's a troublemaker!

Unexpectedly, as he grew up, his ability to cause trouble actually increased with age!

If it weren't for her today, the Assassin's Guild would definitely have sent someone to assassinate Luo Chen.

Given Luo Chen's status as a spoiled young master, how could he possibly withstand the assassination attempt by the Assassin's Hall?

It would be a miracle if he didn't die!

To avoid arousing Xiao's suspicion, Qing Ning looked up again and asked incredulously, "Boss, is there really no mission?"

Xiao looked at Qing Ning with some curiosity, slowly shook his head, and said, "There are no killing missions recently. I called you here just to check on your mission progress, not to ask you to kill anyone."

"oh?"

Qing Ning raised a hand, mimicking the way the Assassin Hall had done before, and propped her head up with her arm: "Not a mission to kill?"

"no."

Xiao shook his head.

"Really not?"

Little stars gradually appeared in Qing Ning's eyes.

"...There are no killing missions recently."

Xiao repeated what he had said earlier.

"Aha."

Qing Ning was delighted; there really wasn't a mission!

If there are no missions... does that mean the vacation I've been longing for is finally coming?

A holiday without infiltration, disguise, bloodshed, or gunfire!

Seeing Qing Ning's beaming face, Xiao's lips twitched involuntarily. He seemed to have only said there was no "murder" mission, right?

Did you say you were on vacation?

Didn't they say that?

Did you say so?

Xiao sighed, looked at Qing Ning across the table with an innocent face, and then thought about the task he had prepared for her this time, and couldn't help but sigh again.

It's not that Qing Ning's abilities are lacking; on the contrary, Qing Ning's mission completion rate reached a terrifying 100%!

In other words, Qingning can complete all ten tasks out of ten!
