When Lu Ling's figure reappeared in the field of vision, Aoluna hurried forward to meet it, with a lingering worry on his brow.
"Lu Ling... How about?"
Lu Ling looked around, and there were already many Temple Mage standing nearby, setting up a cordon to calm the frightened civilians and maintain order on the scene.
"It's all solved." Lu Ling said.
"Who is it?"
"Black Vatican's executioner." Lu Ling paused and looked at Aoluna, "He is still your colleague."
"What?"
Aoluna's pupils shrank suddenly. Several Temple Mages around him also turned their heads, all their eyes falling on him.
Lu Ling gave the answer directly with actions without wasting any words.
He took out a corpse from Reflection Space and threw it on the ground casually like a bag of garbage. The corpse fell heavily and made a dull sound.
"The former Temple Mage, the executioner Pei Li."
He had already destroyed the other bodies.
If people knew that he had the ability to kill several veteran Super Level at the same time, I'm afraid he would have to endure quite a storm of public opinion.
Not necessary.
"Pei Li?!"
A deeper voice came from the crowd. An older man Temple Mage, whose breath was obviously deeper than the others, walked up to the two of them and looked at the corpse on the ground solemnly.
It was obvious that he knew Pei Li.
He squatted down, turned over the back of the lifeless hand, and his eyes fell on a certain mark, and he was stunned for a long time.
When he spoke again, he could no longer suppress the surprise in his voice.
"It's really Pei Li..."
After being silent for a while, he stood up again and took a deep look at Lu Ling.
"You must be very important to Black Vatican, but they actually sent executioners to deal with you."
"Almost." Lu Ling didn't explain much.
"I didn't expect you to be able to kill the executioner alone, but you still have to be careful. Black Vatican is targeting him, but he will not stop." The old man nodded slightly, with a very restrained appreciation in his tone.
"I'll pay attention."
The old man didn't say anything more and ordered his men to take Pei Li's body away.
At the street corner, Li Yu'e was sitting alone on the ground in a daze. The little face with two sweet dimples just now was a little absent-minded. It was obvious that the explosion just now left a tremor in her heart that could not be eliminated for a while.
"Li Yu'e, I'm sorry that I have implicated you. If you don't mind, you can go back to China and go to this place. It will be safe there." Lu Ling walked forward and handed over a business card and some travel expenses.
"Thank you..."
Li Yu'e took the business card and glanced down.
Lu Ling.
I didn't read the address in detail, I just remembered the name.
She stood up slowly, patted the dust on her skirt, and said her thanks again seriously.
"Thank you, Lu Ling."
"I will consider the place you mentioned. If I have nothing else to do, I will go back and rest first."
Li Yu'e quickly adjusted and showed a sweet smile again.
"If you go there, someone will arrange a job for you." Lu Ling said.
If I remember correctly, Li Yu'e earned money by traveling and working part-time. Now that I have lost my job, I should be in trouble for a while.
As for security issues... these people were all killed by Lu Ling. Even if there are still people who want to target Lu Ling, they should not pay attention to Li Yu'e.
Therefore, this business card is just a temporary idea of Lu Ling. If Li Yu'e is really in danger, he will have to ask someone to escort him back to China.
"Thank you for your kindness! What a philandering man!"
Li Yu'e suddenly stuck out his tongue playfully, dropped these words and ran away, his back quickly disappearing around the corner of the street.
"Actually, our temple will compensate people who lose their jobs for some reason." Aoluna said abruptly from the side.
"Really?" Lu Ling smiled, "Your policies are quite close to the people."
"Are you going back too?" Aoluna asked.
"Why, you can't bear to leave me?" Lu Ling looked sideways, and the smile at the corner of his mouth became a little deeper.
Aoluna snorted lightly and turned away.
There was a rare little girlish sourness in her tone.
"Hey, go back as soon as you go, no one will want to leave you. You go out on a date with a girl, and then you turn around and flirt with another girl."
"It turns out we are here for a date." Lu Ling pretended to be surprised.
"..."
Aoluna blushed and looked away.
From noon to now, for the first time in such a long time, she had the shy reaction of a girl.
Seeing this, Lu Ling couldn't help but chuckle.
Taking advantage of the moment when Aoluna was distracted, he naturally took the other person's hand.
"I happen to be a little hungry. Come with me to have dinner."
"Huh?"
Aoluna was stunned for a moment and then immediately agreed to the decision.
"That's right... I haven't thanked you for saving my life yet. I know a better place, go there."
"Isn't it the best thing you take me to eat at noon?" Lu Ling asked doubtfully.
"Of course not." Aoluna blinked and said seriously.
"Lead the way, I have some expectations." Lu Ling said.
"Hehehe, please continue to look forward to it."
Aoluna chuckled a few times, took Lu Ling's hand behind his back, and pulled him forward.
The night is getting darker, and the hustle and bustle of the streets is far behind.
Aoluna took Lu Ling's hand and led him into a quiet neighborhood, stopping in front of a small single-family building.
"Come in, I live alone."
She let go of her hand and took out the key from her bag.
The sound of the lock cylinder turning was particularly clear in the night. The door was pushed open, and the warm yellow light streamed out from behind her, softening the outline of her black dress.
"This is what you said, a better place?" Lu Ling said unexpectedly.
"Otherwise?" Aoluna asked with a smile without turning her head.
"It's really a nice place."
Lu Ling followed her through the door.
The house is not big, but it is very clean. There are no unnecessary decorations in the living room. There is a half-folded Temple Mage robe draped on the armrest of the sofa, and there is a very light woody fragrance floating in the air.
There are traces of a person's life everywhere, clean and neat, with a little bit of indescribable Leng Qing.
"Sit wherever you want."
Aoluna bent down and changed into a pair of house shoes, walked to the open kitchen and washed his hands without looking back.
"Is steak okay? You just said that meat is pretty passable."
"Okay."
Lu Ling leaned on the sofa, his eyes following her back, and the corners of his lips raised slightly.
"I never thought you could cook."
"When you live alone for a long time, you have to learn."
She took out two steaks that had been defrosted in advance from the refrigerator, put on her apron skillfully, and heated the pan with oil.
The iron plate made a sizzling sound, and the aroma of meat soon filled the small space.
Lu Ling didn't speak, just watched her busy in the kitchen quietly.
The coldness of Temple Mage's robe has faded away, and now Aoluna is just a woman living alone.
Wearing a home apron over a black skirt, her long wavy light golden hair was pulled back casually, with a few strands hanging down beside her cheeks. It was slightly curled up by the heat of the stove, and swayed slightly as she turned over the pot.
"What are you looking at?"
She seemed to be aware of his gaze. She kept turning the steaks with her hands, but there was an imperceptible tension in her voice.
"It's quite rare to see Temple Mage wearing an apron." Lu Ling said with a smile.
