After leaving the restaurant, Chu Xinyue was not in a good mood. Qin Ziling followed behind her without saying a word.
"You said it's only been a little over a year, why have people changed so much?" Chu Xinyue said softly.
Aside from Yu Qian, there were one or two other people in the room with whom she had a decent relationship, but when she tried to strike up a conversation with them, they were clearly distant, exchanging only a few greetings before running out of things to say.
Moreover, thinking about how they had just stood by and watched her die, Chu Xinyue was even more disappointed.
Qin Ziling put his hands in his pockets and said, "This is normal. The relationship between you two isn't as genuine as you imagine. You just spent some time together during the most boring period of your youth."
Chu Xinyue glanced at him: "Are you full?"
Qin Ziling didn't understand why she asked that: "I'm full, what's wrong?"
Chu Xinyue glared at him: "I'm not full yet, I'm going to eat something!"
Qin Ziling chuckled: "Alright, let's go see where there's a restaurant."
Suddenly, at that moment, Qin Ziling's expression changed, and he turned to look at a corner.
"Heh, that's interesting. You actually managed to find me. No wonder you survived so many assassination attempts."
A cold voice rang out, and a long-haired man emerged from the darkness.
"Who are you?!" Chu Xinyue's pretty face changed upon seeing the other person.
"Hmm? What a beautiful woman from the Dragon Kingdom. Tsk tsk, if you weren't the target, I really wouldn't have the heart to kill you," the long-haired man said with an evil smile.
Qin Ziling pulled Chu Xinyue behind him and said calmly, "You're here for the Philosopher's Stone again, aren't you?"
"Boy, since you know, why don't you obediently hand over the Philosopher's Stone? I might consider leaving you with a whole corpse," the long-haired man sneered.
"I'm very disappointed. You're like a swarm of flies, one wave after another, yet you're pitifully weak. I want to ask, do you all want to die?" Qin Ziling shook his head, his face full of disappointment.
To be honest, the Philosopher's Stone is a great treasure in the West, but what kind of trash are those who are eyeing it?
"Hmph! I hope you'll still be so stubborn later!" The long-haired man sneered, then his figure flashed and he rushed directly in front of Qin Ziling, delivering a sweeping whip kick!
The latter remained calm and raised his hand to grab the other person's calf.
"You! You've got some skills!" A hint of surprise flashed across the long-haired man's eyes, but soon his eyes flashed with ferocity as his fist, enveloped in a storm of energy, slammed fiercely towards Qin Ziling.
Qin Ziling sneered and threw a punch at his opponent!
bump!
With a series of punches, the long-haired man let out a scream and was sent flying like a kite with a broken string.
"puff!"
The long-haired man coughed up blood and stared at Qin Ziling in disbelief: "You're an S-rank expert?"
He was a super A-level assassin, ranked even higher than the headhunter, at number fiftieth, yet he couldn't even withstand a single blow from his opponent!
I was careless!
"Lacking in strength, yet with a big appetite." Qin Ziling walked towards him indifferently.
Beside her, Chu Xinyue gazed at Qin Ziling with shining eyes.
I never expected that bastard to be so powerful!
"You...you deserve to die! Prepare to die!" the long-haired man shouted coldly, and suddenly waved his sleeve at Qin Ziling, sending out several cold beams of light.
Qin Ziling tilted his head slightly, and the hidden weapons flashed past his head. Then, he appeared in front of the long-haired man in a flash, pressed his head to the ground, and said coldly, "Come on, tell me, how many assassins have entered Jianghai City?"
"Bastard! Just kill me! I won't tell you!" The long-haired man struggled violently.
"I hope your bones are as hard as your mouth." Qin Ziling laughed, then moved his foot and crushed the assassin's hands.
"Ahhh!"
The assassin screamed in agony, large beads of sweat rolling down his face.
"You! You're a devil!"
Qin Ziling chuckled: "This is the devil? Is this all the assassins are capable of?"
As he spoke, he moved his foot again, aiming it at the assassin's crotch.
Seeing this, the assassin's eyes were filled with fear, and his anus clenched tightly: "Don't...don't step on me! I'm telling you!"
Upon hearing this, Qin Ziling stopped and said with a smile, "That's right."
Then he looked at Chu Xinyue, thought for a moment, and took out his phone to call Blood Spider.
After finishing, he said to Chu Xinyue, "I'll have someone come and pick you up. I have other things to take care of."
Chu Xinyue glanced at the assassin at his feet and pursed her lips: "Won't there be any trouble?"
Qin Ziling smiled and said, "Don't worry, since I'm in charge of your safety, nothing will go wrong. You don't need to worry about anything else."
Chu Xinyue had witnessed Qin Ziling handle assassins before, so her psychological reaction wasn't too strong.
Soon, a Buick arrived at the scene, and a voluptuous masked woman stepped out. It was Blood Spider, but it's worth mentioning that she was wearing a mask, making Chu Xinyue unable to recognize her.
Blood Spider glanced at the assassin at Qin Ziling's feet, somewhat surprised: "They're actually from the Blackbird Organization?"
Blackbird, like Blood Spider, is an assassin organization from the Western underworld, and like Demon Spider, it is an S-class organization, but its overall strength is inferior to that of Demon Spider.
After all, all members of the Spider Demons are S-rank powerhouses, while the organization that Blackbird belongs to is different, consisting of only a few S-rank leaders.
Upon hearing Blood Spider call out his name, the assassin looked at her in shock: "You actually know Blackbird? Who are you?"
Blood Spider did not answer him, but walked up to Qin Ziling and respectfully said, "Master."
Owner!
Both the assassin and Chu Xinyue were shocked by these words.
This woman actually called Qin Ziling "master"?
Chu Xinyue's expression was somewhat strange. Although the woman in front of her was wearing a mask, her figure was impeccable, like a ripe peach, making Chu Xinyue feel somewhat ashamed of herself. And she called that guy "master"—what was she up to?
Master... Maid...
Qin Ziling pointed casually at Chu Xinyue and said to Xue Zhu, "Take her back safely. While I'm away, you'll be responsible for her safety."
Blood Spider glanced at Chu Xinyue, her heart filled with complex emotions. Not long ago, she had targeted Chu Xinyue for assassination, but now she was protecting her. This contrast made her feel strange. However, she dared not disobey the tyrant's orders, so she nodded and led Chu Xinyue into the carriage.
After the two women left, Qin Ziling brought up the assassin: "Lead the way, go find your companion."
The assassin, enduring the intense pain, knew his opponent was not someone to be trifled with, and obediently nodded: "Okay, come with me."
As he turned around, a cold glint flashed in his eyes, and he thought fiercely: Hmph! Those despicable Chinese, once we get there, I'll make sure you regret it!
He didn't come alone; he was there to scout and test the target. Moreover, almost all of his organization's top forces had come to the Dragon Kingdom, including the leader. Even if this Dragon Kingdom person was an S-rank, he was definitely no match for them!
