Assassin Seven, starting in Shennong Kingdom!

Chapter 218 discusses the Northeast region.

On his way back to the village, A'gen was attacked by Qingqiu and his men.

Their target was the Heavenly Pearl.

As a result, Mu Si, A Xian, and Tan Jiu, who also wanted the Heavenly Pearl, were also captured.

When the three tried to escape, the space was severed by the Thousand Needles.

……

At the comic convention.

"Wow! So beautiful!"

"Handsome guy."

"Meow(?)"

"You must be Xiaobai? I've heard Xiaohei mention you."

"Eh?"

Xiao Bai looked at Xiao Hei, whom she was holding.

"Meow. (These two are very capable people.)"

"Wow."

Fei Xi reached out and touched Xiao Hei, then started chatting with Xiao Bai.

Qin Ming glanced around, and the figures around him froze. Then, sweating profusely, they quickened their pace, while some simply slipped away quietly.

Quite a few fairies have infiltrated this place.

Normally, one needs to disguise oneself to blend into the human world, but not here.

Why did you scare them away?

Qin Ming turned his head and saw Li Qingning and Xuan Li. "Didn't Lao Jun come? He should like this kind of thing."

Upon hearing this, Li Qingning gently rubbed her forehead, speechless.

Have so many people already found out about this?

Lao Jun used to enjoy reading novels, but as times changed, he became obsessed with anime, comics, and games (ACG).

Since Qing Ning is unharmed, he naturally doesn't need to make any vow to never leave Junge for a hundred years.

"He said he had made some discoveries and would be going into seclusion for a while."

Qin Ming paused for a moment, but then he wasn't surprised.

Lao Jun is Lao Jun after all. It's normal for him to have some thoughts after seeing that Lao Jun has developed a second spatial ability using the Gate of All Beings. It probably won't be long before Lao Jun also gains something.

Xiao Bai noticed the two of them and greeted them happily, "Sister Qing Ning, what brings you here? Didn't Lao Jun come along?"

"Yes, I'll help him with the surrounding items."

Wow, you two are so loving.

"Hahahahahaha."

Li Qingning and Xiaobai have a lot in common in terms of personality. One of them is that they are both the type of people who can say whatever they want.

Therefore, Li Qingning is also very good to Xiaobai.

"cut."

Xuan Li stood to the side, feeling somewhat annoyed that no one was paying attention to him.

"Dog Bro is good too."

Xiao Bai greeted them.

"Well……"

Xuan Li paused for a moment, then glanced at Li Qingning, but said nothing, simply turning his head to the side.

Besides Li Qingning, only Xiaobai knows this title and dares to call her that.

Besides, even A'gen directly calls him Xuan Li.

After visiting the comic convention, a fairy came along and tried to slip away when it saw Qin Ming and the others, but was spotted by them.

The old man, "...(drenched in sweat)"

Damn Qingqiu, I misread it again!!

They didn't dare to run away, so they had no choice but to bite the bullet and lead a few people to the outside of the comic convention, where they found some accomplices.

Qingqiu, Laofu, Qianzhen, Jiuxian, and Po Lao...

These people probably knew each other over a hundred years ago, and even challenged the tasks in Laozi's Twelfth Book of Oaths together. Among them, the Four-Sided Box of Qingqiu was a magic weapon refined by Laozi.

Qingqiu looked at the group of people in front of her, then at Old Man Po, "(What are these people doing here?)"

The old man scoffed.

You're asking me? I'd like to ask you the same thing.

"……(sweat)"

Qin Ming glanced at Qingqiu and said, "Your ability should be a sensory-based inspiration, right? This ability has a wide range, but it becomes inaccurate if the distance is too far."

"Lord Qin Ming is wise."

Qin Ming immediately recognized Qingqiu's ability as one of the branch abilities of the living beings type.

However, Qingqiu's primary attribute is the Lock and Defense type, while the Life and Spirit type is secondary, so its talent is somewhat lacking.

He glanced at the others as well: metal, wood, life, mind, space...

They are quite diverse, each with different abilities, but they complement each other subtly, which is why these fairies often act together as a group.

"Lord Qin Ming, Lord Qing Ning, and... Lord Xuan Li shouldn't interfere with the Heavenly Pearl matter, right?"

Xuan Li glanced to the side and said, "Tch."

The three remained silent, which was taken as tacit agreement.

Given their status, it would be highly unlikely that they would take action against these individuals under normal circumstances.

Qingqiu breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at A'gen, "Young friend A'gen, are you leaving without saying goodbye because you don't want to keep your promise?"

"I did say I would make him hand it over."

A'gen looked at Xiao Hei, who was being held by Xiao Bai, and said, "Xiao Hei, give it to them."

"Hmph, meow. (I don't want to)"

It's a very simple word game: Argen agreed to let Xiao Hei hand over the Heavenly Pearl, but didn't guarantee that Xiao Hei would actually give it to him.

"Humph."

Qingqiu had expected this, so it wasn't surprising, but she was still annoyed, since A'gen had slipped away right under their noses.

If word gets out, they will lose face.

"You're just annoyed that I can leave you, aren't you?"

Don't you think that's incredibly rude?

"Does trapping me like that make you seem polite?"

"The plundering of the Oath Book prizes is a risk that the holder must face; it is a tacit rule of the Oath Book."

Li Qingning frowned slightly, while Xuan Li crossed his arms and snorted.

They were naturally aware of this, after all, the prizes that Laozi gave out were all treasures to the demons, combining alchemy, weapon forging, and lock-and-control techniques. Any product made by Laozi was bound to be of the highest quality.

But Lao Jun's original intention was not to let them fight each other. Li Qingning decided to talk to Lao Jun later and at least set some restrictions.

"What is a tacitly accepted rule? It's just that Laozi doesn't interfere. Everyone knows that Laozi won't interfere in worldly affairs. When a few people say this, others will accept it as the rule. In the end, it's just creating a legitimate reason for robbery."

A'gen, however, remained completely calm and asked Qingqiu, "Or do you really think this is reasonable?"

"..."

Qingqiu was speechless.

Old Fu, standing to the side, clenched his fist. "Why didn't you say that yesterday?"

What if I get beaten up for telling them?

"Aren't you afraid of getting beaten up now? (gritting teeth)"

"Now I have Xuanli."

Xuan Li glanced at the demons with displeasure, a faint smile appearing on his face. He was quite happy to fight, and he had a reason to do so.

He couldn't interfere with Tianmingzhu, but since his relationship with A'gen was that of both teacher and friend, he could.

"Lord Xuanli shouldn't get involved in the matter of the Heavenly Pearl, should he?"

“You should talk to that kitten about that; it has nothing to do with me.”

Xuan Li clenched his fists, eager to try, but Li Qingning grabbed his collar and pulled him back.

"You think you can get involved if you want to?!"

"Old Master! How dare you be so rude!"

"Hey, you old toad! You really think you're the boss? I bet even Xuan Li is a fake!"

"The old mansion!"

boom!

A flame instantly ignited, setting the old man's fist ablaze. Xuan Li was still being held back by Li Qingning, unable to make a move.

"Please forgive me, Lord Xuanli. Thank you, Lord Qingning."

Just then, Xiao Hei jumped out of Xiao Bai's arms and took out the Heavenly Pearl.

Being able to use spiritual space for storage before becoming an immortal is a major advantage of spatial systems.

Spatial abilities are directly dependent on spiritual space, which is fundamentally different from other abilities.

However, because of this, the space system cannot directly open the spiritual space to become an immortal using the Heavenly Pearl, which is both an advantage and a disadvantage.

"The Heavenly Pearl!"

Qingqiu and the others were shocked. They had gone to great lengths for this treasure.

"Meow (Why do you need the Heavenly Pearl?)"

"you do not need to know."

"Meow, meow. (If you don't tell me, I'll give it to Xuan Li.)"

"What good will it do you to do this?"

"Meow, meow. (Anyway, I can't protect it, so your displeasure is my pleasure.)"

"..."

Xuan Li, who was watching the show from the sidelines, smiled. This was getting interesting.

Old Po jumped down from the balcony next to him. "Qingqiu, let's talk this out properly."
