Conflict at the sect 1

Ning Qi simply wrote a note to Li Ping, telling him that he was going somewhere and wouldn't be back for the night, before driving his car to the sect.

Along the way, a flurry of messages came from Ning Jing asking why he booked the flight tickets, which may have cost a lot. She told him to cancel them so that they could go by train, which is much cheaper. She and Wen Fen thought that this was the surprise gift that Ning Qi promised them, but they don't want Ning Qi to squander his money like that.

Ning Qi simply ignored her protest before sending the contact number of Yang Tian to her. Then he told her that there is someone who will come to receive them, and they will also give their tickets there.

"Stop it, Jing! You will irritate brother Ning if you keep your protests any longer." Wen Fen stopped Ning Jing from calling Ning Qi, as she had entered his number and wanted to persuade Ning Qi directly.

After getting reminded by Wen Fen, she closed her mobile before putting it away. She knows once her brother decides on something, it's very hard to persuade him to change his mind. Not to mention, he already bought the tickets. She could only sigh before deciding to work a part-time job once she came back. Until at least she earns back all the money that she is putting into this trip.

Ning Qi, on the other hand, slowly rode to the sect. Just as he reached the main entrance of the sect, he saw two police cars stopping near the main hall area. Not knowing what was happening there, he quickly drove his car over there.

He then slowly made his way into the main hall, where he saw four police. Two women and two men are arguing with Nangong Xu and Kang Xuan. Shen Yue simply sat on the edge of the floor with her head down, making it look like she was a victim.

"Hello, Officer! Show me the warrant, and then I will allow you to search for our place. You came here without any warranty, just because someone said it, doesn't that make us victims here?" Nangong Xu argued with the policewoman, who looked to be the leader of the team. She looks to be someone who is in her forties, while the remaining three officers look quite young, ranging from 23 to 27.

The youngest one is the other girl, who looks to be in her early twenties. All of them are quite fit, including the older lady, which surprised Ning Qi a bit.

"You are being a quite unreasonable little brother! Even though we don't have a warranty, we have a pretty decent report that we trust that you guys are carrying illegal weapons here. We even have the exact report of the weapons, 2 Fk-Brno combat field pistols. Do you have anything else to say?" The younger girl argued back, as she felt quite funny about how this handsome little brother is involved in underground dealings at such a young age.

Ning Qi simply eyed that girl, who is a beauty on par with Shen Yue and the other little beauties he has met so far. She just lacked that mature aura that Yi Ran has, just like Wen Fen and his little sister.

"Oh! Is there any proof, miss? Also, why are you calling me little brother?" Nangong Xu argued back fiercely, as he already understood that they were exposed by the one who sold guns. He also felt this girl is quite cute, but she has been especially pressing the word 'little brother' word from the time she came in.

"Uncle! Can you please restrain your son a bit? Even if we can't find any guns here, we can still lock him up for being so rude to police officers and obstructing their investigation." One of the young men there quickly said it to Kang Xuan, seeing Nangong Xu's aggressive behavior.

"On what basis? Just because I'm responding to you guys, If you are going to be so unreasonable... I will definitely be going to make you bedridden in the hospital, as long as I stay in jail." Ning Qi got furious with the continuous threats from these people from the moment they came.

Just as Nangong Xu wanted to say more, Kang Xuan quickly held him back. He then looked at the female officer, who was also glaring at her subordinates for threatening them, which was going to make their already bad image in public even worse.

"Hello, Officer! I think it's better you come back with a warrant to search this place. Even if you are a civil servant, it won't give you any power to search someone's home blatantly." Kang Xuan said politely, unlike Nangong Xu, which finally satisfied the woman.

"It's alright, gentleman! The Deputy Chief of the Guilin Police Department is making his way here with the warrant that you want. We aren't going to talk about the illegal weapons until he comes back. But what about that girl, who looks quite abused? Is she your son's wife? With the temper of your son, I think he has been torturing her for some time. We are going to investigate that first." That woman finally said something, making both Nangong Xu and Kang Xuan as well as Ning Qi, who was listening to their conversation quietly, a bit dumbfounded.

Even Shen Yue looked at her a bit surprised before slowly standing up and making her way. Ning Qi also didn't wait anymore and made his way toward them.

Everyone was surprised by the beauty of Shen Yue for a moment, as she is as beautiful as the little policewoman. But only Nangong Xu's team was doubly surprised to see Ning Qi, while the police looked at him in questioning mode.

Ning Qi simply walked past them before giving a glare to Shen Yue, who simply stuck her tongue at him, making him roll his eyes. Initially, she was quite afraid of him, but now, after spending some time with him, she is back to her original attitude.

"Sect master! You came back earlier than expected." Nangong Xu hurriedly welcomed him. Kang Xuan simply smiled, as he felt relieved to see Ning Qi. He was initially quite troubled about how to deal with this issue, as he still felt that the police were quite troublesome.

"She is the disciple of our sect, and she is not abused as the officer thought of! We are a sect, not some underground mafia as miss thinks of. So, Let's wait for your deputy chief to come first before we proceed with anything."

Ning Qi said patiently, as he had learned a lot of things on his trip last time. Not to mention the police officers, even the government doesn't have much influence on the martial arts world, not to mention the Cultivation sect, which is outside of their jurisdiction.

Just when the young woman was about to fiercely argue with this arrogant guy, who just came in. The middle-aged woman hurriedly stopped her before scolding her.

"Xia lan! Stop it. Don't be impudent with the sect master." The older woman said so, even surprising Ning Qi's group a bit. Nangong Xu quickly slapped his thigh, as he felt that he hadn't gotten the chance to pull this card before. The little female officer glared at Ning Qi, as she felt that her senior scolded her because of this guy. She marked Ning Qi as an ugly duckling in her mind quickly, while Nangong Xu was the most handsome present.

If Ning were to know her thoughts, he would have rolled his eyes at such a biased attitude.

"Oh! It looks like this officer knows about sects! Then I don't have to explain too much about the rules." Ning Qi said as he went to sit on the couch, not bothering with them anymore.

Nangong Xu, Kang Xuan, and Shen Yue also went upstairs to start their meditation. As Ning Qi is already here, they felt that no trouble would reach them before crossing him. If it is a trouble that even the sect master is unable to deal with, they are absolutely useless against such things. But they want to grow into such beings that the trouble will never reach Ning Qi.

Seeing that Ning Qi has no interest in starting a conversation, the older officer smiled wryly before leading her team out of the main hall. She has dragged Xia Lan along, as she is quite reluctant to leave these scums of society.

"Captain! Why are you so hesitant after that fellow came in?" The only sensible guy in the team, who has been keeping silent from the start, asked, as he felt something was wrong with the people inside, as though they weren't under the law. Even Xia Lan and the other young officer looked at her, as though expecting an answer.

"Hm! You are all young and don't know how the real world works yet. Even I was kept in the dark for many years after joining the force. But once we are dealing with a dangerous case, one of my seniors at that time has to ask someone from the 'sects', which are basically the people who are practicing martial arts, for help. The same as you all think and as you saw in those movies. I have also seen that guy be able to beat 20 to 30 people single-handedly. I was so shocked at that time and didn't understand how in the hell a man could beat that many people that easily. Later, my senior explained to me about the secret society, which isn't actually under the law, which is for normal people. Even if they did something, they will be dealt with by the people from the Martial Arts Association and not by us. That is the reason, we will just wait till the deputy chief comes, and I think he knows about them better than I do."

That older lady explained them slowly, as she remembered that mighty figure, that she developed a crush on when she was still young.

"Oh! Those guys can really beat that many people at the same time? And that Sect Master, who looks quite ordinary, is also a powerful figure?" Xia Lan asked, as she thought of Nangong Xu, who looked cute, and also decided to softly curse Ning Qi, as she doesn't know why she developed a bit of an irritation over him right away.

"Don't be silly! Every martial artist, even the weakest ones, is almost as powerful as a special operations officer in the military if they have sufficient experience. And the sect masters are usually way too powerful than the guy that I saw last time." The older officer spoke.

"Aha! Doesn't that mean? What that young guy said early is true?" The young man finally understood that Nangong Xu wasn't threatening him at all, and immediately a shiver ran down his spine. Xia Lan glared at him but didn't say anything in the end.

Just as they were about to continue their conversation, they saw a car speeding up towards this place and knew that it was from their deputy chief instantly.
