All My Professions Have Divine-Level Talents Chapter 240 - 154: A Suspected Divine Talent: Illusion

Besides, that would actually be illegal.

’The thought just made angry...’

Just as I was wondering how to handle the aftermath, I saw Leng Qingying walking toward .

’What now?’

’Is she going to provoke again?’

But Lu Cang simply leveled his War Spear in response.

The tip was pointed directly at Leng Qingying.

"You want another round?"

But Leng Qingying just shook her head slightly, walked right onto his War Spear, and it pierced through her heart.

Her eyes were icy, without a hint of hesitation.

"You won. I’ll let you kill ."

In that instant, Lu Cang’s pupils contracted.

Kumironi, however, rushed over. Placing one hand on Leng Qingying’s body, she was wreathed in green Runes.

Obades stood like a statue, silently watching everything unfold.

He didn’t intervene.

"That was... suicide."

"You didn’t... break the law."

After saying this, Obades turned and slowly walked away.

Leaving only Lu Cang to stare at Leng Qingying’s half-dead form.

A storm of complicated emotions churned within him.

...

Healing soone with a mangled heart was no difficult task for Kumironi.

In just ten short minutes, Leng Qingying was as good as new.

’He figured that even if her head were chopped off, Kumironi could probably heal her just as quickly, so long as she wasn’t completely dead.’

It was only if she were truly dead that reviving her would take a little more effort.

The damaged streets, the ruined buildings...

...all had to be paid for.

As for the matter of brawling in the streets, it was swept under the rug thanks to the privileges of the renowned Chief Mage.

In fact, even if Lu Cang had actually killed Leng Qingying,

he probably would have been judged as acting in self-defense.

After all, Leng Qingying had attacked first. And more importantly—Lu Cang was the Chief Mage.

In Lorren, his status was second to virtually none.

When it ca to many matters of principle, the Chief Mage *was* the principle.

However, after she was healed and they returned,

the atmosphere between Lu Cang and Leng Qingying was a little tense.

Caught in the middle, Kumironi felt helpless.

"It’s wrong to ambush people, Qingying... Don’t do it again."

Leng Qingying mumbled, "It’s not like I do this all the ti."

"I only did it because I was sure he wouldn’t die."

"Besides... I’m an Assassin. Where does it say an Assassin can’t ambush people?"

Kumironi gave a helpless, wry smile.

’Are kids these days all trying to one-up each other in stubbornness?’

’I’m still a young woman myself.’

’Why am I always thinking about lecturing kids?’

’Shouldn’t a twenty-year-old be enjoying her youth?’

Kumironi couldn’t help but look to the heavens and wonder.

’At what point did I do sothing that changed my own Destiny?’

"In any case, you can’t treat a friend’s friend like that," Kumironi said.

"And you still haven’t apologized to Lu Cang."

Leng Qingying said, "I already let him have his pound of flesh..."

Kumironi said sternly, "That’s not the sa thing."

"Fine."

Leng Qingying walked up to Lu Cang.

Lu Cang stood his ground, staring into Leng Qingying’s eyes with a blank expression.

Leng Qingying looked away, not daring to et his gaze. "If you want to kill anyone in the future... just tell . I’ll take care of it cleanly."

’Huh?’

’Is this her idea of an apology?’

’Is this how Assassins apologize? No, this isn’t an apology, it’s a business proposition.’

’Is that sothing a ten-year-old should be saying?’

Lu Cang looked up at Kumironi and said seriously, "Kumironi, I think there’s a serious problem with her upbringing."

Kumironi heaved a long sigh. "I agree."

"Lu Cang, what do you think of her apology? If you still can’t forgive her, you can make a more... unreasonable demand."

Lu Cang looked at the little Assassin before him, who was fidgeting and trying to maintain a stern expression, though her cheeks were still flushed.

"S-sorry! I shouldn’t have tried to assassinate you!"

’Did she just... bite her tongue?’

Lu Cang, however, said seriously, "When soone tries to kill you for no reason, you can’t just forgive them that easily."

Leng Qingying asked, "What do you want to do, then?"

Lu Cang held up two fingers.

"It’s simple. One, from now on, when you see , you will address respectfully."

"And two, if I ever need your help in the future, you have to provide it."

Lu Cang couldn’t think of anything else.

He’d already "killed" her once, and it wasn’t like she truly intended to kill him, not with Kumironi present.

If she had really wanted him dead, she wouldn’t have tried it right in front of Kumironi.

’How could she possibly have succeeded that way?’

In the end, Lu Cang couldn’t think of a suitable punishnt.

A punishnt for her sake alone would be of no benefit to him. A purely punitive act, much like "killing" her a mont ago, would only serve to vent his anger.

’On second thought, it would be better to make use of her abilities.’

Her skills as an Assassin were impressive, and Lu Cang himself was not proficient in assassination.

Besides, assassination was sothing Lu Cang preferred not to handle personally.

It was too easy to leave a trail, especially in a world with Divination Masters.

If soone else did it, the Possibility of the deed being traced back to him would be much smaller.

’Now that I’m a noble, I should start building up so of my own assets in the shadows.’

"Address you respectfully?"

A hint of disgust flashed in Leng Qingying’s eyes. "Like... ’Master’?"

The corner of Lu Cang’s mouth twitched.

"No, ’Lord Lu Cang’ will be fine..."

Lu Cang thought about how the servants at his estate addressed him.

It felt strange to him, too.

"Or just ’Big Brother Lu Cang’ is fine, I guess."

’Even though I’m younger than you.’

But Lu Cang felt it was necessary to instill a sense of respect in a child like her.

"But the second condition is the more important one. When I need you, you have to help ."
