Chapter 279
Soon, it's the early morning of the next day.
When Qin Qi woke up, he only felt a soft sensation all over his body.
Only when he opened his eyes did he realize that Shen Lulu's fair snow-white peaks were piled up on top of him. Her head was resting on his arm.
Most critically, her hand was unexpectedly holding onto his thing.
He vaguely remembered.
He had been battling with the two until late last night.
Only when it was time to sleep.
Shen Lulu was still holding onto something, seemingly saying she couldn't sleep without holding onto something.
"Where's Han Siqi?" Qin Qi glanced to the side.
Han Siqi seemed to have already woken up and had gone somewhere.
As Qin Qi woke up, Shen Lulu also quickly opened her sleepy eyes and, upon seeing Qin Qi, warmly said, "Master!"
"Awake?" Qin Qi smiled.
Shen Lulu's face still bore the remnants of last night's blush. She hadn't had time to fully wake up before feeling the heat in her hand.
She then smiled broadly, saying, "Master, you're really amazing, exhausting yourself last night, yet waking up so energetic the next morning."
"Would you like LuLu to help you with some morning exercises?"
Qin Qi grinned, "That would be wonderful!"
Without another word, Shen Lulu climbed under the covers and, like a chick pecking at grains, took it into her mouth.
As her head bobbed up and down, Qin Qi couldn't help but marvel at how much more delightful Shen Lulu had become compared to before.
While he was thinking about this, suddenly, the door was pushed open.
"Master..."
Qin Qi looked intently and found it was Han Siqi.
Han Siqi saw Shen Lulu diligently serving Qin Qi and smirked, "Greedy witch, craving for it so early!"
Upon realizing it was Han Siqi, Shen Lulu momentarily paused in surprise. After shooting her a glare, she continued her service.
Qin Qi cradled his head and asked curiously, "What are you doing up so early, not sleeping?"
"Master, it's not early anymore!" Han Siqi pulled open the curtains, "The sun's shining on your butt! Do you forget we went at it till late last night and someone still isn't satisfied, wanting more first thing in the morning!"
Qin Qi finally looked at the time and found it was almost eleven o'clock.
Shen Lulu huffed lightly, "I want it, what's it to you?"
Qin Qi quickly remembered something, "You've burst in suddenly, is something up?"
"Yes, there is. People from the Governance Department are here." Han Siqi furrowed her long brows, looking serious.
"Governance Department?"
Even Shen Lulu, who was occupied, lifted her head, "So they were indeed alarmed?"
Qin Qi looked confused, "What is the Governance Department?"
Han Siqi exhaled softly, "Master knows the power gap between martial artists and ordinary people is immense, especially after reaching a martial artist level."
"These martial artists, if they wished, could completely turn the ordinary world upside down, causing chaos. To prevent martial artists from disrupting and affecting ordinary people's public order and security, the Governance Department was established to maintain the balance between ordinary people and those in the inner circles!"
"Why else would the Ancient Martial Families and martial artists hide away?"
Qin Qi blinked, "How come I've never heard of this before? Is the Governance Department so formidable that it can intimidate martial artists and Ancient Martial Families?"
Han Siqi shook her head, "It's the high-tech era now. Martial artists can't match bullets. However, the Governance Department is extremely mysterious."
"It's said that earlier, an eighth-rank martial artist violated the Governance Department's treaty and then mysteriously disappeared. Even the mighty Martial Artists Association must obediently abide by the Governance Department's constraints!"
Qin Qi contemplated, finding the Governance Department indeed unordinary.
After all, so many Ancient Martial Families, even the Martial Artists Association, act obediently, showing the Governance Department's might.
He quickly asked, "Where are they now?"
"They're downstairs. I didn't dare to invite them in," Han Siqi explained earnestly.
Qin Qi nodded, quickly put on his clothes.
Then, he went downstairs alongside Han Siqi.
As soon as they reached downstairs!
He indeed saw an extremely slim old man, appearing to be around sixty, standing there.
The old man had a few people behind him who looked unremarkable. But only the old man...
Despite being old and feeble, he was like a mountain, making it impossible to harbor any thoughts of resistance.
Only Xiao Qingfeng before gave him such a feeling!
Could it be that this unassuming old man has reached the level of a True Man?
"Hello, Mr. Qin." The little old man grinned, seeming harmless, raising his hand, "The old man's surname is Hu!"
"Hello Elder Hu!" Qin Qi clasped his hand.
As their hands clasped, Qin Qi could confirm the old man's strength was undoubtedly above his own.
Even as he held the hand, he felt as if he were holding a piece of cotton, unable to find a point to exert force.
In other words, now he couldn't make a move; this old man was invincible.
Realizing his unusual strength, Qin Qi took a deep breath, "I've done something wrong to make the Governance Department and you come all this way?"
Elder Hu coughed lightly twice, "Mr. Qin doesn't need to worry. This visit is merely to record your details and inform you of some relevant affairs!"
"Originally, when Mr. Qin reached the martial artist level, our department should have come personally to inform. But with your rapid improvement, we hadn't prepared when you suddenly soared to the ninth-rank martial artist!"
At the end, Elder Hu's tone held a hint of incredulity.
Qin Qi scratched his head, "You're too kind, Elder Hu!"
Elder Hu chuckled, "Mr. Qin's talent is unique in all my years. Well then, to the point, our Governance Department has only one bottom line! As long as Mr. Qin doesn't cross this line, everything else is yours to romp freely!"
"We won't interfere with your freedom. But if you do cross the line, the Governance Department will issue a warning!"
"Once it reaches the third warning, the Governance Department will take action to exterminate."
Qin Qi became curious, "What is this bottom line."
"Don't affect ordinary people!"
Elder Hu spoke leisurely, "Yesterday, your scene at the suburban hotel already touched the red line. After all, with the circumstances, we couldn't say whether there were ordinary people present!"
"However, this time, since we came late, you won't receive a warning."
Qin Qi nodded, "Thank you very much, Elder Hu."
"Well, I've said all there is to say. Mr. Qin, we'll take our leave now!" Elder Hu smiled slightly.
Qin Qi politely said, "I shall see you off, Elder Hu. I hope we meet again someday!"
Though he said so, inwardly, he wished never to meet again.
Who would have thought, Elder Hu turned around and cryptically said, "Rest assured, Mr. Qin, we will definitely meet again!"
Then, he left, chuckling.
Qin Qi's body froze, his eyes gradually narrowing.
What did he mean by that?
Meeting again?
