Fortunately, Ning Rongrong's room was completely soundproof, and she often had to discuss important matters there, so her Ning Rongrong -inducing cries didn't get out. Otherwise, her image in the eyes of all the disciples of the Light Observation Hall would probably have been shattered.
After the storm subsided and they calmed down, Ning Rongrong and Qi Ling reappeared before everyone. Seeing everyone's curious gazes, Ning Rongrong blushed, but still said, "This person can be trusted. He's our ally and here to help us."
Although everyone was surprised, since the hall master had already made this judgment, they couldn't say anything more.
Yang Qianqiong exclaimed happily, "Yay! The Master is brilliant! I knew Qi Ling was a good person!"
Upon seeing Qi Ling, Ning Rongrong's first action was not anything else, but to take Qi Ling to find someone.
"Looking for someone? Who are you looking for?" Qi Ling asked, puzzled.
"Who else could we ask? Of course, it's Zhu Zhuqing!" Ning Rongrong said. "She must be going crazy missing you too, so of course I need to take you to see her as soon as possible."
"Oh, right, speaking of Zhu Zhuqing and Rongrong, aren't they together? I can't find any news about her." Qi Ling asked in confusion.
"Of course, with Zhu Zhuqing's personality, how could she possibly do the work of the Light Observation Hall? All she knows how to do is kill," Ning Rongrong laughed. "So, the organization she joined is quite simple; it's an assassin organization like the Sleepless City, called the Blood Hall, and right now, she's the most powerful expert in it."
"Huh? That's impressive!" Qi Ling suddenly remembered and said, "So, the Nether Queen and Holy Queen that I've heard about in the martial arts world refer to the two of you?"
Rumors from the martial arts world always spread the fastest, and ordinary people love to use them as after-dinner conversation. Among these rumors, the beauties of the martial arts world are naturally the most talked about.
Among them, everyone seemed to have reached a consensus: the most beautiful woman in the underworld was " Nether Queen," the number one assassin of the Blood Hall, while the most beautiful woman in the righteous faction was " Holy Queen," the third leader of the Light Observation Hall. This was a well-known story in the martial arts world.
"That Zhu Zhuqing, as an assassin, naturally needs a code name," Ning Rongrong said. "At first, she gave herself the code name Netherworld, but somehow it got passed down and became Nether Queen."
"And those righteous disciples, after learning of her title, were not content and insisted on giving me the title of Holy Queen, which left me quite helpless."
Holy Queen and Nether Queen, those names certainly sound sophisticated. These martial arts practitioners must have nothing better to do than ponder such trivial matters.
Ning Rongrong then disguised herself, changing her appearance, and then took Qi Ling to find Zhu Zhuqing. The disciples of the Light Observation Hall were naturally worried about their leader traveling alone with this strange man, and they all tried to stop her.
"It's alright, don't worry," Ning Rongrong said with a smile to everyone, "The man beside me is the most reassuring man in the world!"
As an assassin organization, Blood Hall is not easily found by just anyone. They have their own unique way of making contact, and Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing have their own unique way of communicating.
Led by Ning Rongrong, the two arrived at a dilapidated temple in the wilderness. Ning Rongrong then used a special code to exchange a redwood slip with the people inside. Only then did she leave with Qi Ling.
Ning Rongrong then explained that if you want to see the Blood Hall, you must find a way to obtain this redwood token; otherwise, even if you find their gathering place, it will be useless.
To Qi Ling's surprise, the Blood Hall was located in the very place where she had been before— Fuzhou! This most prosperous and bustling city was also hiding some of the world's most terrifying assassins.
But it makes sense. Since it's the most prosperous city, it must also be the place with the best information and the largest population! If you want to hide a tree, the best place is of course in the forest, so this is actually the most ideal hiding place.
"Judging from your expression, you must have already guessed why the Blood Hall is here, right?" Ning Rongrong said, looking at Qi Ling. "Then guess again, where is the Blood Hall's base?"
Qi Ling pondered for a moment. Judging from their style and approach of hiding in Fuzhou, this place might not be too hard to guess. So Qi Ling smiled and said, "I guess it's in a brothel in the city, isn't it?"
This time it was Ning Rongrong's turn to be surprised. She said, "Huh? How did you guess that, Qi Ling?"
"It's very simple. Because others can't think of it, I can," Qi Ling said with a smile. "Besides, this kind of place has the best information flow, which makes it convenient for them to do their work."
"That's right, that's what Zhu Zhuqing said too," Ning Rongrong said. "However, she added another reason when she said it."
"Because she hates men who bully others the most, if someone disregards the girls' wishes and forcibly bullies them, they might mysteriously appear in the city's river the next day!"
"Really? That does sound like something Zhu Zhuqing would do," Qi Ling said with a smile. "Let's go, let's hurry and see her."
The two entered a bustling brothel in the city, where a group of girls happily surrounded them. After all, they would be happy to serve a customer like Qi Ling even if he didn't ask for money.
However, as soon as Qi Ling took out the redwood skewer from her person, someone immediately dispersed them and then led Qi Ling and Ning Rongrong out through the back door to a very secluded basement.
Upon hearing that the two wanted to see Zhu Zhuqing, the Blood Hall members became cautious. After all, not just anyone could meet the Blood Hall's top assassin, and Zhu Zhuqing was renowned, with many people meeting her not for business.
Then, Ning Rongrong handed over a jade pendant she carried with her, saying, "Give this to Nether Queen; she will see me."
The man went in to inform them, still somewhat skeptical. Sure enough, he came out again shortly afterward, invited the two inside, and then cautiously closed the door once more.
People generally believe that the Light Observation Hall and the Blood Hall, as the largest organizations in the righteous and righteous paths respectively, must be irreconcilable enemies. However, this is not the case. Because of the relationship between Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing, even if their relationship is not good, they at least keep to themselves.
Upon entering the Blood Hall headquarters, the furnishings were nothing special; they could be found in any ordinary household, showing no signs of being the headquarters of the most powerful assassin organization.
However, Qi Ling could see that these seemingly ordinary decorations actually concealed hidden secrets and countless deadly traps.
