Boarding Life

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice.

What they saw was a young man a few years younger than Gu Yiming.

This young man walked forward, locking eyes with Gu Yiming not far away, without a trace of fear.

"Who is this person?"

"Heh, these days anyone dares to be so audacious, challenging Young Master Gu? Just forget about Gu Yiming's future accomplishments; can anyone really handle even his current martial artist level?"

Clearly, although Qin Qi is somewhat famous now, not everyone recognizes him.

Only Shen Lulu showed a clearly shocked expression upon seeing Qin Qi appear!

She couldn't believe her eyes.

Could Qin Qi really have come?

Did he come for her?

But to Qin Qi, she seemed to be just a plaything. Would he really show up for her?

Gu Yiming was already full of anger, and now hearing someone insult him, his fury reached its peak!

His gaze darkened as he looked at Qin Qi viciously and said, "Kid, what are you? Do you think you have the right to speak here?"

Qin Qi ignored him and instead looked at Shen Lulu, "Lulu, come over here!"

Without much hesitation, Shen Lulu grabbed her dress and ran towards Qin Qi.

The clear hint of joy in her expression made it obvious from the start that her relationship with Qin Qi was not ordinary.

And Qin Qi did not intend to hide anything this time. When Shen Lulu arrived,

he wrapped her soft body in his arms, "Lulu, you look beautiful today!"

Shen Lulu blushed prettily, feeling a little shy in front of so many people.

Qin Qi then straightforwardly said, "You asked what I am, well, let me make it clear to you. Lulu is my woman!"

His words fell.

Silence fell over the entire place.

Everyone's eyes widened.

Firstly, they were shocked by the relationship between Shen Lulu and Qin Qi; secondly, they admired Qin Qi's courage in daring to mess with Gu Yiming!

"Heh, this kid won't live long!" Yu Hou sneered sarcastically from the side.

Many talked among themselves, "So what if Shen Lulu is his woman? Women can be taken, after all. Without strength, flaunting like this will only completely anger Young Master Gu!"

Only Shen Lulu's beautiful eyes brimmed with disbelief.

She even wondered if she had misheard.

Previously, Qin Qi only wanted her to be like a submissive servant, but now he was publicly declaring her as his woman?

Qin Qi was tired of talking, "Did you hear that clearly? Alright, Lulu, let's go!"

With that, he took Shen Lulu's hand and headed straight out.

He thought once he made things clear, it would be over.

Unexpectedly, Gu Yiming's roar came quickly, "Stop right there, did I say you could leave?"

Qin Qi squinted and turned back, "What do you want?"

Gu Yiming was almost frenzied.

The Shen Lulu he pursued in every way was taken away by a mere gesture from Qin Qi.

With so many people watching today, where did that leave his face?

Gu Yiming's expression was menacing, "I said Shen Lulu is my woman, so she can only be my woman. You want to take her away? Do you think you can?"

Qin Qi sighed, knowing there was no peaceful resolution.

He said solemnly, "So, what do you want to do?"

"It's simple!"

Gu Yiming sneered, "Since you could find this place, it means you are also in the circle. If you're in the circle, that's easy."

"Want to take my woman? Fine, a life-and-death battle! Win it, and you can take her."

"But, do you dare accept?"

Shen Lulu shouted, "Gu Yiming, it's been made clear, he's my man. I have nothing to do with you!"

"Shut up, I said you are my woman, so you can only be my woman." Gu Yiming's tone was domineering and aggressive, and then he stared straight at Qin Qi, "So, do you dare accept?"

Everyone gasped in surprise.

"A life-and-death battle, this kid's in trouble."

"There's a regulation that circle members can't fight openly, so there are rules. Either don't disturb ordinary people or sign a life-and-death pact!"

Martial artists are strong, but in this new society, they must obey the law.

Qin Qi frowned, "We have no deep hatred, is there a need to make it a life-and-death issue?"

His words made everyone burst with laughter.

"Haha, you can tell from his face that he doesn't dare."

"He really thinks that because Shen Lulu wants to go with him, he can take her away? Doesn't he see where he is, whom he offended?"

"He probably tricked Shen Lulu and now he's in for a major embarrassment. He won't be able to lift his head in front of her ever again!"

People mocked.

And Gu Yiming's laughter was filled with disdain, "Kid, if you don't dare, I can be merciful and give you a second option!"

"What option?" Qin Qi asked, bewildered.

Although his power increased, and his knowledge multiplied, his mindset was still that of an ordinary college student. Even when Fatty Huang was excessive, he never took his life.

In his eyes, unless absolutely necessary, there was no need to take a life.

But his words were seen as a sign of weakness by Gu Yiming.

Gu Yiming boasted arrogantly, bursting into laughter, "Simple, kneel and kowtow to me. Then crawl out, bowing all the way!"

"Hahahahaha!"

Everyone burst into laughter.

Qin Qi, hearing this, responded with a cold laugh.

He initially intended to resolve things peacefully, but clearly, in the circle, it all came down to who's got the tougher fist!

"Since you don't plan to let me leave peacefully, fine!"

Qin Qi spoke expressionlessly, "Let's sign the life-and-death contract!"

With those words,

everyone looked surprised.

"Sign the life-and-death contract? This kid has some guts, but unfortunately, doesn't know patience."

"Once it's signed, he's as good as dead. Kneeling might have spared his life!"

Gu Yiming was also surprised, but as he proposed it, he couldn't back down.

He quickly arranged for someone to bring two life-and-death contracts and handed one to Qin Qi, explaining, "In-circle life-and-death contracts, once signed, life or death is left to fate. After this, families can't pursue the matter further or escalate it!"

"Today, all present circle members are witnesses. Kid, are you sure you want to do this? Once signed, it's a dead-end!"

As he spoke, he signed the life-and-death contract.

Qin Qi was equally decisive, "Not necessarily a dead-end for me."

He handed the life-and-death contract back.

And casually said, "Gu Yiming, today's matter could have been easily resolved. But why are you inviting trouble?"
