Full-Time Magister: Summoning Eight Demons at the Start

Now, all she cares about is her child.

……

The backyard of Qingtian Hunting Grounds.

The atmosphere was a little awkward because Leng Qing was also there.

Due to the events in the ancient capital, the Tribunal, under immense pressure from society, intensified its efforts to eradicate the Black Vatican far beyond what could previously be described as turning a blind eye.

To put it bluntly, the Inquisition did indeed condone the existence of the Black Vatican to some extent.

Because “darkness” cannot be completely eradicated; extremes beget their opposites. Even if the Tribunal does its utmost to eliminate the Black Vatican, it cannot eliminate the darkness of human society. If one Black Vatican is destroyed today, another will appear tomorrow.

Therefore, the Tribunal's attitude toward the Black Vatican is actually similar to Shanghai's attitude toward the vampires.

The existence of the Black Vatican, this extremely evil organization, actually reduced the workload of the Inquisition to some extent.

Because anyone with a mischievous streak has been recruited by the Black Vatican.

The Black Vatican's actions are all strictly planned and they don't act recklessly.

Any plan will inevitably leave traces. Even with the matter in the ancient capital, the Tribunal had actually received some information beforehand, but they did not expect it to escalate to that extent.

Because the events in the ancient capital had become too serious, the Tribunal was forced by pressure to completely eradicate the Black Vatican.

To create a temporary atmosphere of harmony within the country and stabilize public sentiment.

Darkness will not disappear; the Black Vatican is actually everywhere, and every mage has the potential to become a member of the Black Vatican.

When life is not going well, or in a moment of anger, one might suddenly go crazy.

There are actually many such sorcerers, but in the past, these things were all attributed to the Black Vatican, and many shady things could even be blamed on the Black Vatican, and no one would suspect anything.

But now that this omnipotent scapegoat has been removed, many people will feel bad.

"Aren't you going to say a few words?" Lu Cheng asked.

"What did you say?" Leng Qing asked calmly.

"Are you talking about your relationship with the Black Vatican? Or your relationship with Salam?"

"Anything is fine." Lu Cheng waved his hands, and the various bartending tools on the liquor cabinet began to move in the air.

"Are you the Black Vatican?" Leng Qing asked.

"No."

Do you know Salam?

"know."

"..."

Leng Qing took a deep breath. "When you met Salang, did you know she was Salang?"

Not long after the ancient capital, Lingxi, the elder of the Hunter Alliance, disappeared.

Therefore, it is obvious who Salam is.

Back in the ancient capital, Lü Cheng and Ling Xi were practically inseparable!

"I know," Lü Cheng replied, his expression unchanged.

Leng Qing was taken aback, "Then why did you..."

"What else can I do?" Lu Cheng asked.

"I'm still hanging out with her?"

"Remember before, when you asked me why I hung out with Salam?"

Lu Cheng poured a glass of the zero-degree cocktail he had prepared for Lingling, who was standing next to him. Before Leng Qing could even make a move, Lingling snatched the glass from his hand and started drinking from it.

Lu Cheng took a sip of the cocktail he had mixed for the second time.

The taste is ok.

“That’s a good question.” Lü Cheng put down his cup.

"Why am I hanging out with Salam? I'd like to know that too."

Did I approach her on my own initiative?

Lu Cheng paused for a moment, then said, "In Bo City, I am just a child who has just awakened magic and has no relatives or friends. Facing the leader of the Black Church, I ask you, great Judge Leng Qing, what attitude do you think I should take towards her?"

"Should I report her? Or should I righteously unleash the beginner-level magic I just learned and wage a battle of good versus evil against her?"

As he spoke, Lü Cheng couldn't help but laugh.

Leng Qing's expression also became somewhat unnatural, and she silently lowered her head.

“I did not join the Black Vatican, nor did I help her harm anyone. In fact, I was saving people when we were in Bo City and the Ancient Capital.” Lu Cheng looked puzzled.

"Your Honor, what do you think I should do?"

"What else do I need to do? Hmm?"

"I thought it was wise enough that you sent Tang Yue, a mid-level mage, to investigate a super-level mage, but I never expected that you would ask such a wise question."

Why should I contact Salam?

"Come on, teach me what to do in that situation. Can you give me a standard response?"

"I can barely protect myself, and you come to ask me why?"

"Shouldn't I be asking you that? Isn't dealing with the Black Vatican your Inquisition's responsibility? How did it suddenly become my responsibility? What are you even doing here?"

Leng Qing's expression was somewhat grim. "The trial committee has done its best..."

"Do your best? You knew nothing beforehand, strongly condemned it during the event, and then went to clean up the mess afterwards, while also finding a few people like me to take the blame. Is this what you call doing your best?" Lu Cheng asked.

"You've worked so hard. Do you need me to bring you some banners?"

"..."

Seeing the increasingly tense atmosphere between the two, Lingling timidly tugged at Lü Cheng's sleeve, "Brother Cheng, my sister wasn't blaming you at the time. It's because Sister Tang Yue was arrested, and she was just too anxious..."

After Lü Cheng got into trouble, her sister was also investigated. If it weren't for her grandfather's influence, her sister would most likely have ended up like Tang Yue.

"In a hurry?" Lü Cheng downed the wine in his glass in one gulp.

"I was unconscious for several months. The first time I called her after I woke up, I was met not with concern, but with a barrage of questions."

"Anxious? I was indeed quite anxious, so anxious that I forgot that I almost died in the ancient capital."

After saying that, Lü Cheng got up and left.

Lingling looked anxiously at Leng Qing, "Sister, say something!"

Leng Qing closed her eyes and turned her head away with a complicated expression.

Speak? What could she possibly say?

She said she had been running around for months helping Lü Cheng, just to prove he was innocent?

what is this?

She was a member of the trial committee, and finding out the truth was her job.

What's there to say?

"Sister!" Lingling jumped off the stool and ran to Leng Qing's side.

"Just say it, he'll listen."

Leng Qing shook her head, got up, and walked towards the room.

"There's nothing to say. He's right. I...didn't do anything."

"..."

Chapter 175 Heavenly Mark White Tiger

177.

……

The biting winds sharpened the mountain peaks, which were covered in snow that never melted.

Tianshan, an extremely cold land that carries countless legends.

Taking a deep breath, the icy wind brought Mu Ningxue an unprecedented sense of pleasure.

I haven't felt this relaxed in many years.

"This godforsaken place is so big, and you expect me to find someone frozen in ice from the mountains?" Dao Long couldn't help but reveal that look of smugness he hadn't shown in a long time.

"Do you want to listen to what you're saying?"

“You said that person was frozen, which means her life force was sealed. My spell isn’t so outrageous that it can find you someone who is one with nature in such a vast snow-covered mountain.”

Magic may seem illogical, but it is actually quite reasonable!

Scientific things can be used to some extent, but magic is a completely different story if something goes wrong!
