Chapter 188 The Confident Craftsman, Hunter and Prey
At 9:45 a.m., Zu Qingyun had already arrived in Tianhe District, where the Canton Tower is located.
Just then, his phone rang. He thought it would be Leng Qing, but it was Lingling who called.
"Qingyun, where are you now? My sister seems to have made contact with the Cardinal, and now she's being watched by the Assassin's Guild!"
Lingling's voice was tinged with nervousness and unease, and Zu Qingyun immediately comforted her after hearing her words.
"Don't worry, Senior Sister Leng Qing has already told me the whole story. I've already arrived near the Canton Tower where we're supposed to meet."
Hearing Zu Qingyun's words, Lingling on the other end of the phone seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.
"Qingyun, I placed a few locators on my sister earlier. She should be near the Guangzhou Opera House in Haizhu District, close to Tianhe District."
From Lingling's voice, Zu Qingyun could sense that although her mood had calmed down, she was still very nervous about Senior Sister Leng Qing's safety.
"I understand. Don't worry, with me here, I won't let Senior Sister Leng Qing get into any trouble."
After hanging up the phone, Zu Qingyun immediately activated his Vision Eye to search for Leng Qing, then dialed another number for a certain "all-powerful noblewoman".
"Tsk, I didn't expect you little rascal to actually call your sister on your own initiative. Could it be that Leng Jue is causing you some trouble?"
A lazy, contented voice came from the other end of the phone.
"This matter should have nothing to do with you, after all, I don't want to personally take action to bring you back."
Although he already had an answer in his heart, there were still some things he needed to confirm first. Since he came here, he had caused quite a few butterfly effects, and it was possible that Ye Chang also wanted to take action against Leng Qing and the Tribunal.
"Well, this matter really has nothing to do with me. It seems that Leng Jue, that short guy, wants to show off his talent and value. I'm not interested in what he wants to do, but if his plan succeeds, I'd be happy to see the final result revealed to everyone."
Hearing Ye Chang's somewhat crazy words, Zu Qingyun felt quite helpless.
After all, when the Holy Son Ventaire was subjected to the Dark Judgment, everyone in Parthenon who agreed to it was a sinner.
However, Ye Chang seems to have misunderstood something. It was the Parthenon Temple that killed Wen Tai, but her target was the land of China. It can be said that Bo City and the ancient capital were quite innocent.
"You'd better be careful, little one."
Before long, Zu Qingyun arrived near the Guangzhou Opera House. Through his Vision Eye, he had found Leng Qing and her little follower Xiao Ping. They were currently hiding in an abandoned studio, bandaging the wounds on their legs.
Seeing this, Zu Qingyun's heart tightened, but he didn't see any other figures in his Vision Eye, only sensing a gradually weakening dark aura.
"Teleportation!"
With a "whoosh," his figure vanished from the spot in an instant.
On the other side, in the abandoned studio.
"Your Honor, let me help you clean the wound on your leg."
Xiao Ping took out purified water and a handkerchief from her personal space, but Leng Qing's wound was still covered with a trace of very sticky dark power, which could not be cleaned by ordinary means.
Just then, a faint spatial fluctuation rippled around them, and upon seeing this, Leng Qing instantly condensed wind elemental magic in his palm.
The next second, Zu Qingyun's familiar figure appeared in front of them. Upon seeing this, Leng Qing immediately withdrew her wind element magic, while Xiao Ping, unaware of the situation, stood in front of Leng Qing.
"Who are you! Don't come any closer!"
You could tell from her expression and tone that she was extremely nervous. "Xiao Ping, don't worry, Junior Brother Qingyun is here to help us."
Leng Qing pressed down on her assistant Xiao Ping's shoulder, then directly presented her injured leg to Zu Qingyun.
She was well aware of Zu Qingyun's healing abilities, therefore...
"Senior Sister Leng Qing, if it were just the two of us, I could do whatever you wanted, but your assistant is here watching. Isn't that a bit inappropriate?"
(～o￣3￣)～
Upon hearing Zu Qingyun's words, a rare blush appeared on Leng Qing's cheeks.
But the next second, Zu Qingyun's screams echoed in the abandoned studio.
"Ouch, Sister Leng Qing, I was wrong! Please let go of my hand, or my ear will be ripped off!"
In no time, apart from the injury on his leg, Leng Qing's abrasions were completely healed.
"Senior Sister Leng Qing, am I quick? I arrived in Guangzhou three hours early and found you without any problems!"
Leng Qing couldn't resist pinching Zu Qingyun's nose and ears as he tried to take credit.
"Since you care so much about your senior sister, I'll reluctantly forgive your rudeness just now."
Leng Qing's cheeks were flushed, and her assistant Xiao Ping's cheeks were also slightly red, as if she had just seen something not so pleasant.
"Senior sister, you've wronged me. When we healing mages perform healing, we definitely need to touch the area that needs treatment."
However, when Zu Qingyun said those words, Leng Qing noticeably increased the pressure on his hand.
"So that's your excuse for touching and rubbing against me all over???"
Zu Qingyun: (〃｀ 3′〃)
"Senior sister, I was wrong."
On the other side, the Canton Tower.
"Why haven't you dealt with Judge Leng Qing yet? I can't let these guys from the Inquiry Council ruin my plans that I've been working on for years!"
Cardinal Leng Jue looked at the lowly craftsman from the Assassin's Hall before him, his eyes filled with displeasure.
“The situation changed. A rather troublesome guy came, so I retreated first and prepared to make my move at night.”
A hint of apprehension flickered in the craftsman's eyes, while Leng Jue looked puzzled upon hearing his words.
"You don't even put super-level mages in your eyes, so who could possibly cause you trouble?"
Hearing Leng Jue's words, Bei Jiang simply turned around and walked outside.
"No matter how difficult the other party is, I can guarantee that the woman in the inquisition will not live past tonight."
A high-end luxury hotel in Haizhu District.
“Senior Sister Leng Qing, I also know about the person who is chasing you. His name is Bei Jiang. He specializes in the Shadow element and has a very special talent. His strength is considered among the best in the Super-Rank.”
While eating, Zu Qingyun explained to Leng Qing about the story of the craftsman and Cardinal Leng Jue.
"Tonight, Senior Sister, you should wash up and go to bed as usual. I'll stay hidden by your side. If they dare to come, I'll..."
