Qing Ning casually asked, "By the way, boss, where do you want me to go on this mission?"
"I'm sending you to school in Jiang City."
Xiao rolled her eyes and said irritably.
"puff!"
Lime sprayed.
"What?!"
Qing Ning's pupils dilated instantly as she looked at Xiao in disbelief. "Boss, you're not kidding, are you?"
Xiao rolled his eyes, looked up at the sky, and said, "Look at my serious expression... do I look like I'm joking with you?"
"You can't do this to me! Why do I need to go to school? What can't I do? Do I need to go to school to learn?"
Qingning got a little anxious and stood up, confronting Xiao again. "Besides, school is so boring, especially university. Nowadays, universities are not free at all. You can't do anything. You can't stay in the dorm when you don't have classes. No one can be in bed. There can't be any trash in the trash can... They control everything. I definitely can't stand it."
"You're right."
Unexpectedly, Xiao nodded seriously, displaying an expression of deep sympathy.
"Then why are you still letting me go? Oh... I see, you're joking again, aren't you?"
Suddenly, Qing Ning caught a whiff of something amiss and forced an awkward smile.
It's simply because she knows the leader too well.
If my guess is true...
Why is he smiling so strangely?
Lime shivered.
Every time the leader laughs like that, it means someone is about to be in trouble.
He certainly wouldn't be the unlucky one, so...
Is it myself?
"No... I'm not joking."
Xiao slowly put away his smile, his expression gradually turning serious, and said, word by word, "Of course, I didn't send you to university, but... high school."
"Weiyang Middle School, the best middle school in the entire Jiang City!"
"Once you enroll, it means you've already stepped into a prestigious university, the dream school for all students in Jiang City!"
"What are you waiting for? Enroll now!"
As if by magic, Xiao pulled out an admission notice from behind his back and slammed it onto the mahogany table in front of him with a loud bang.
"...Boss, you've actually gone crazy, haven't you?"
Lime's lips twitched incessantly.
This person...
Neuropathy?
Why the sudden shift to promotional slogans?
Did they accept advertisements?
But they are clearly an assassin organization, aren't they?
It's a high school admissions ad that's basically asking for an egg!
"More or less, I didn't expect you to see through me."
Xiao Shen let out a long sigh, brushed the dust off his clothes, then sat down again and smiled gently: "Besides, your age... is indeed that of a high school student. Just because you don't need to study at school doesn't mean you can ignore this fact."
"Alright... I'll accept any task assigned to me by the organization."
Qing Ning rolled her eyes. Anyway, she had already achieved her goal. Although she didn't understand why Xia Che suddenly appeared on the list, as long as the Assassin Hall didn't make a move against Xia Che, she could just go with the flow and back down the slope.
And high school girls and stuff...
This name sounds surprisingly nice.
Qing Ning chuckled.
Just as Qing Ning was lost in thought, she overheard Xiao, who was sitting in front of her, saying something, "This time... your task is rather difficult."
"Why? Didn't you tell me to go to school?"
Qingning scratched her head, looking somewhat puzzled, and asked.
"Letting you go to school is only one reason; the second reason... is naturally for Xia Che."
Xiao stroked his chin, a glint of light in his eyes, and said, "The school you're going to this time is Weiyang Middle School in Jiang City, China. I will arrange a Bhutanese student status for you, and then you will go to Weiyang Middle School as an exchange student to study there for two years."
"In these two years, you need to get close to Xia Che, and then..."
Qing Ning nervously swallowed, only to see Xiao in front of her deliberately dragging out the last syllable and winking at her in a cheeky manner.
Left with no other choice, Qingning had to guess for herself, "Then... I'll find an opportunity to kill him? That won't do, didn't you just promise me you wouldn't kill him?"
"Hey, you little brat, how can you be so murderous?"
Xiao Huai raised an eyebrow with a smile, no longer teasing Qing Ning, and said directly: "What you need to do is study hard and not let anyone know your identity as an assassin. That is your mission this time!"
"puff!"
Qing Ning couldn't help but cough, for no other reason than that the task Xiao had assigned her this time was... far too dramatic!
The task is to get myself back to school...
Never heard of it.
I've never heard of that before.
Although accepting the mission would allow her to stay away from the war and avoid those unpleasant life-and-death situations, Qing Ning always felt that the leader wasn't so kind.
There must be some scheme they're plotting that I'm unaware of...
But Qingning couldn't think of anything for the time being.
Moreover, this time when I return to Jiang City, I will be able to see Xia Che, that little rascal. After not seeing him for many years, Qing Ning really misses him.
"What, you don't want to answer?"
Xiao frowned slightly, looked at Qing Ning, and said.
"Yes, I'm very willing."
Seeing that Xiao's facial expression was about to turn from sunny to cloudy, Qing Ning quickly agreed.
Just kidding. Although I'm a bit disrespectful to the leader, he is, after all, the leader of the Assassin's Hall organization!
If you offend the other party, how can you expect to have any good things to do in the future?
Moreover, the way Xiao threw a tantrum just now... was indeed a bit frightening.
"If you're willing, that's good."
Xiao nodded, smiled with satisfaction, and then waved his hand, dismissing him. "Since you're willing, go back to where you came from. I just checked, and there's another flight back to China today. Once you're back, someone will give you a new identity. At the same time, the organization will provide you with sufficient funds and accommodation. This time... you're not allowed to be as willful as before, leaving the organization at will and acting alone."
"oh……"
Qing Ning stood up, her face full of reluctance.
Xiao knew Qing Ning's bad temper; she hated all assistance from the organization. Even when carrying out missions, Qing Ning preferred to complete them on her own rather than rely on the organization's help.
In Qingning's words, she didn't want another stupid teammate who would drag her down.
Previous missions were fine as long as they didn't affect the mission's completion rate, so the Assassin's Hall wouldn't interfere. But this time... it's very different from before.
At the very least, this time, Qingning absolutely cannot be a lone wolf anymore.
Just as Qing Ning turned around and was about to reach the door...
Xiao's gentle voice slowly drifted into Qing Ning's ears:
"Actually, you and Xia Che have a good relationship. That long speech was just to remove his name from the bounty list, right?"
