"General, didn't you say you were going to bring them back to be questioned?" Nangong Yao said hurriedly.
The General Administration, his face dark, said coldly:
"Don't wrong me! I only said to have Wang Yanjun bring them back, I didn't say anything about punishing them!"
Are you kidding me? A prince from Kyoto, a purple-robed Taoist master who's rarer than a panda—does he dare to question him?
If he puts Lu Qing in detention today, her master will be able to shut down the police station tomorrow.
Besides, Lu Qing and Gu Xicheng hadn't really done anything wrong. They were just called back to check on the situation so they could keep a record.
The director walked up to Lu Qing and Gu Xicheng, and suddenly grinned:
"I'm so sorry! Master Lu Qing, Mr. Gu, you've misunderstood!"
“Nangong Yao misunderstood me. I didn’t mean to ask you any questions. I just wanted to ask about the cat demon.”
When faced with a polite person, Lu Qing also responded politely:
"Don't worry, Director. That cat demon won't harm anyone anymore. I've also sent the souls of Li Dahai and Li Mingzhe to the underworld."
The Director-General smiled and nodded repeatedly:
"That's good, that's good! I should thank Master Lu Qing for helping us get rid of the cat demon!"
"Okay, I'll treat you to dinner tonight as a way of thanking you!"
Lu Qing would never refuse a dinner invitation.
Not only did they not refuse, they also found a high-end restaurant and spent more than 50,000 yuan on the meal.
Of course, this money was deducted from Nangong Yao's salary.
If he hadn't angered Lu Qing, Nangong Xing wouldn't have come; and if he hadn't come, the Director-General wouldn't have known her identity.
He would have just asked them a few questions and let them leave; there was no need for him to treat her to this meal!
After eating and drinking to their hearts' content, Lu Qing left with Gu Xicheng, feeling quite pleased with himself.
Nangong Yao was still resentful, and as soon as she left, she immediately asked Nangong Xing:
"Dad, is she really your senior sister? Why is she so young?"
"In the Xuanmen sect, seniority is never determined by age. She entered the sect before me, and she is a direct disciple. I am merely a senior brother who passed on the teachings in her place. If she doesn't accept being called 'senior sister,' I have no right to call her that!"
Upon hearing this, Nangong Yao was so surprised that he couldn't speak.
He always thought that his father, the head of the Nangong Sect, was not the number one in the Xuanmen, but he was still a very famous figure.
But he never expected that there would be people more capable than him, and one day his father would also be bowing and scraping to others.
"Then how did you know about today's events, Dad?" Nangong Yao asked.
Nangong Xing simply tossed the WeChat chat history to him: "See for yourself!"
Nangong Xing saved the other person's contact as "Master". Over the years, he has sent many messages to the other person, but the other person rarely replies.
And today there's only one sentence:
"You old bastard, your son dares to bully my precious disciple! If you don't resolve this matter properly today, I'll wipe out your Nangong Sect tomorrow!"
“This…this…” Nangong Yao was extremely surprised:
"Dad, who exactly is this master you're talking about? Why does he speak so arrogantly?"
"Arrogant?" Nangong Xing smiled.
"If I had my master's skills, I'd be arrogant too."
"He is the strongest Celestial Master in the Xuanmen for thousands of years. When he was young, he was an existence that could almost crush the entire Xuanmen."
"One sword to slay the Ghost King, one talisman to suppress the Purple Zombie—we can only look up to them!"
Nangong Xing sighed, then said seriously:
"You are not allowed to cause any more trouble for Lu Qing in the future. Be respectful to her when you see her."
"Although I don't know much about this senior sister, I've heard that she is Master's most precious disciple, and her talent may even surpass that of Yu Hengzi."
Nangong Yao was shocked for a moment, then nodded in response:
"Yes, Dad, I understand!"
Meanwhile, Gu Xicheng took Lu Qing back to school.
After a long day of work, Lu Qing was so exhausted that her whole body felt like it was about to fall apart.
Just as she was walking briskly toward her dormitory, she suddenly spotted a familiar figure from behind.
"Gu Fei?"
Lu Qing glanced at the time; it was already 9:30.
Gu Fei's daily routine is extremely regular. She should be washing up in her dorm right now and going to bed at 10:30 sharp.
But why was she walking towards the playground, with a man beside her?
Something's fishy!
Lu Qing caught a whiff of the sweet smell of romance and immediately perked up, quickly following after them.
Gu Fei and that man indeed came to the playground.
The boy was tall and thin, with fair skin, sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, looking just like a female role in an ancient opera.
Gu Fei and he chatted as they walked, seemingly enjoying each other's company.
This was the first time Lu Qing had ever seen Gu Fei smile so happily at someone other than her family since they met.
Lu Qing sized up the boy's face.
A square forehead, phoenix eyes, a straight nose, sword-like eyebrows, and eyes that sparkle like stars—this is a very good face.
Calm and steady, with a strong sense of justice but not reckless, his pure eyes reveal his wicked intentions, and he maintains a certain distance when walking with Gu Fei.
"Little Feifei has good taste!"
The dormitory lights were about to go out, and the two wouldn't be gone for long, so Lu Qing waited.
The boy escorted Gu Fei to her dormitory building before returning home.
Gu Fei was about to enter the dormitory building when Lu Qing suddenly jumped out and startled her.
"Qingqing, you scared me to death!"
Gu Fei let out a breath and patted her chest:
What are you doing here?
"Of course I'm waiting for you! Who was that boy just now?" Lu Qing asked with a gossipy expression.
Gu Fei could tell what she was thinking, and smiled helplessly:
"Don't overthink it. I've only known him for two days, we're just friends."
Lu Qing: "If you're just friends, why are you going out for a walk on the playground so late at night, and you're laughing so happily?"
Gu Fei lowered her head and thought for a moment, her cheeks slightly flushed, and said:
"I might have a little bit of feeling for him, but I'm not sure yet, and I don't know how he feels about me."
"So everything is still uncertain, don't tell anyone!"
Lu Qing patted his chest and assured him, "Don't worry! I absolutely won't tell!"
"But I think that guy has a good appearance and seems like a reliable person. Would you like me to tell your fortunes?"
Gu Fei shook her head: "No need. I know you can figure it out, but if you knew some things a long time ago, wouldn't life be too boring?"
"Alright!" Lu Qing didn't insist.
While fortune telling can predict the future, some things can't be truly understood without experiencing them firsthand.
As long as we're sure the man isn't a bad person, that's fine.
Gu Fei's dormitory was on the second floor, so she got off the elevator when it reached the second floor.
She waved goodbye to Lu Qing:
"I'm going back now, but don't tell anyone about what happened!"
Lu Qing smiled and nodded: "Don't worry, I promise I won't tell!"
Gu Fei nodded slightly, then turned and went into the dormitory.
As soon as the door opened, a pen holder was thrown at Gu Fei, hitting her squarely on the forehead.
Although the pen holder was made of plastic, it was quite heavy, and when it was hit like that, Gu Fei's head started bleeding instantly.
The elevator doors were not yet closed when Lu Qing saw this, so he quickly pressed the open button and rushed over.
"Feifei, how are you?"
Gu Fei covered her wound and said, "I'm fine!"
Lu Qing looked at the three people in the dormitory. Besides the two from before, there was also a foreign girl.
After Li Mengmeng dropped out of school, her bed was quickly assigned to a foreign exchange student, a blonde woman.
The one who just hit Gu Fei with the pen holder was her.
After confirming that Gu Fei had only suffered minor injuries, Lu Qing picked up the pen holder from the ground and threw it back at her.
She used even more force, and the man's head instantly bled profusely.
