Chapter 137: Chapter 137 I am very disappointed in you, Dark Night (seeking recommendations)

"What? Someone attempted to assassinate Ling Chen?"

Qin Qinji was extremely enraged upon receiving the news.

She had just extended an olive branch to Ling Chen, and now someone from her own ranks had made a move against him?

"Who did it?"

Qin Qinji looked towards the old woman and asked.

"Qing Qi."

The old woman said coldly.

"Go check who issued the task! Someone dares to touch my people even from Dark Night?"

Qin Qinji’s voice was utterly icy.

"Yes."

The old woman nodded.

Soon, the old woman returned, reporting, "Miss, I’ve found out. It was one of our undercover agents at True Martial Academy."

"Bring him to me. I want to see who has the audacity!"

Qin Qinji said coldly.

"Yes, Miss!"

The old woman immediately responded.

Two hours later, a middle-aged man appeared at the Drunken Immortal Restaurant.

"Greetings, Qin Xianzi!"

The middle-aged man promptly greeted with respect.

He had never imagined that he would receive a summons from Dark Night Son.

If Ling Chen were here, he would recognize at a glance that this man was Elder Feng.

"Was it you who issued the task to have someone assassinate Ling Chen?"

Qin Qinji asked coldly.

"Yes."

Elder Feng was somewhat confused but still answered respectfully.

"Granny Hua, go ahead!"

Qin Qinji said.

"Yes, Miss!"

The old woman respectfully responded immediately.

"What are you trying to do?"

Elder Feng, seeing the old woman approaching, asked with a trembling voice.

He knew that beside every Dark Night Son, there was a Protector.

He was only at the first level of the Primordial Pill Realm, definitely no match for a Protector.

"Young Master Lingchen is someone the Miss values, yet you dared to lay a hand on him, what do you think I want to do?"

The old woman said coldly.

"No!"

Upon hearing this, Elder Feng panicked.

How did Ling Chen get mixed up with Dark Night Son?

"Pfft!"

The old woman acted swiftly, landing a palm on the Dantian area of Elder Feng’s abdomen.

"Have you crippled me?"

Elder Feng felt the Spiritual Power from his Dantian crazily leaking out, his face in disbelief.

Qin Qinji, however, said, "Granny Hua, handle it. Bring his head tomorrow, and accompany me to apologize at True Martial Academy."

"Yes."

The old woman nodded.

"Apologize?"

Elder Feng felt like he was dreaming. Dark Night Son actually wants to proactively apologize to some young fellow? Who exactly did he offend?

But, he would never have the chance to find out.

The old woman swiftly twisted off his head, storing it in a storage ring.

...

The next morning.

Qin Xianzi appeared in front of True Martial Academy.

Seeing Qin Xianzi visit True Martial Academy, the entire academy was abuzz, and students from all three palaces vied to catch a glimpse of Qin Xianzi’s beauty.

Yet, a thin veil covered her face, hiding her features.

However, that ethereal beauty captivated countless people.

The most enchanting aspect was the transcendent aura exuding from Qin Xianzi.

When everyone heard that Qin Xianzi had come to visit Ling Chen, they were even more astonished.

How could a recently famous Ling Chen catch the attention of Qin Xianzi?

Only a few dozen talented individuals like Wan Er had some idea about this.

After all, it was during Wan Er’s birthday banquet that Qin Xianzi had met with Ling Chen alone and played the piano for him.

Perhaps, Qin Xianzi considered Ling Chen as a kindred spirit?

At Ling Chen’s residence.

"I wonder what brings Qin Xianzi here?"

Ling Chen asked as he looked at Qin Xianzi.

Having just escaped an assassination attempt by a Dark Night Assassin after leaving Zui Xianlou last night, Ling Chen harbored suspicions towards the assassin organization.

Thus, his attitude towards Qin Xianzi was somewhat cold.

Qin Qinji apologized with a smile, saying, "I am very sorry about last night’s incident."

With a wave of her hand,

the old woman stepped forward, a flash of light in her hand, revealing a wooden box.

"This person is the one who issued the mission."

Qinji handed the wooden box to Ling Chen.

As Ling Chen opened it and peered inside, he suddenly exclaimed, "Elder Feng?"

This was the Black Robed Elder who had pleaded on behalf of Su Qingyun. After Ling Chen killed Su Qingyun, this elder had captured him to be taken to the Punishment Palace for punishment.

"That’s right."

Qinji nodded, "Additionally, here is his Dark Night Identity Token, Young Master Ling, please take it. In the future, if needed, you can use it to prove your identity."

Elder Feng was after all a Primordial Pill Realm powerhouse. Despite Ling Chen’s heaven-defying talents, slaying a Primordial Pill Realm expert was immensely difficult.

Therefore, she suggested using it later to prove his identity.

This was to formally dissociate from Dark Night publicly, dispelling doubts from others.

Taking the token, Ling Chen said, "Even so, I am very disappointed in you, Dark Night. I seriously doubt whether you are truly capable of dealing with the Great Xia Royal Family."

With such chaotic management within your ranks, where a candidate for succession wants to appease someone and Dark Night still orders an assassination, Ling Chen couldn’t help but doubt the capability of Dark Night.

"Young Master Ling, rest assured. Such incidents will definitely not occur again!"

Qinji promised.

Ling Chen nodded, "I hope not, otherwise, we won’t even have a chance to collaborate."

By now, two assassins from Dark Night had already made attempts on his life.

Though those assassins had been executed, Ling Chen still harbored no fondness for Dark Night.

"It absolutely won’t. Please believe, Young Master Ling, that we are extending our invitation with the utmost sincerity,"

Qinji earnestly said.

Last night, she had already notified the Dark Night headquarters to outright refuse any further assassination tasks against Ling Chen and to monitor if the mission issuer sought other assassin organizations to eliminate any potential threats at their earliest stage.

"I will observe your actions,"

Ling Chen said.

Originally, he was somewhat inclined to join Dark Night.

But after last night’s assassination attempt, he had changed his mind.

"It should be so, please watch and see, Young Master,"

Qinji smiled as she spoke.

Ling Chen’s words indicated that there was still a possibility of him joining Dark Night.

"Please return, Immortal. I need to resume my cultivation,"

Ling Chen said, seeing off the guests.

"Very well!"

Qinji stood up, gave a deep bow to Ling Chen, and then left the True Martial Academy with the old woman.

"Miss, aren’t you being too kind to this boy?"

On their way back, the old woman inquired.

"Kind?"

Qinji shook her head gently with a smile, "Granny Hua, although my strength is not as great as yours, when it comes to insight, you fall far behind me."

Though she possessed the talent of a Divine Thought Master, her Sea of Consciousness was flawed, and she truly did not qualify to become a Dark Night Son within the assassin organization.

The main reason she became a Dark Night Son was due to her insight.

Within Dark Night, there were eighteen Dark Night Sons, six of whom she had discovered.

She traveled across the entire Great Xia Dynasty with one goal—to discover talents and recruit them into Dark Night.

"The guidance I received from Young Master Lingchen alone is immensely beneficial! Even top-tier Divine Thought Masters do not possess such insights. Moreover, I have a premonition that if one day the Xia Royal Family falls, Young Master Lingchen will certainly be among those who act against it, and he will undoubtedly be the main force behind it!"

Qinji’s eyes gazed towards the horizon.
