As the car parked, all of them hurried towards him, surrounding his car. That scene surprised him a bit, as usually these people will behave quite well and don't do such silly acts.
"Why are you all outside? What should I explain to those people, if these guys were to escape?" Soon, a man who is close to 50 years old but still has a stout body came out of the car and hurriedly scolded them.
"Hm! The situation is quite worse than we expected, Chief Wang... " Even before the older woman said anything, Xia Lan started narrating what happened before he came here, even adding some extras, which makes Ning Qi look like a one-eyed gangster, while the remaining all are his goons a bit 'reluctantly'.
Everyone, including Deputy Chief Wang, rolled their eyes as they understood this little pepper didn't like Ning Qi. And they have experienced this type of issue many times already, as she gossiped about the people she didn't like until she felt that she had spread enough 'awareness' about the 'bad guy'.
"Stop it already, Lan! I told you those people weren't normal. It's very dangerous for you if you irritate him too much." The older woman hurriedly stopped her after seeing that she was about to say more.
Xia Lan also quickly stopped after seeing the angry face on her captain, and she quickly went to stand behind deputy Chief Wang, who could only shake his head helplessly. But everyone in the department kind of dotes on this girl a bit, as since she joined the force, their daily lives have had some laughs now and then, while they are at work.
"It's the same as Xia Lan explained, Chief Wang! Except that the sect master of this sect is quite calm and polite, as he didn't say anything excessive. Just reminded us about the rules and how they work." The older lady said.
"Hm! Then we need to deal with this a bit carefully. But we also don't need to be afraid of them, as we have the warrant to check and they will let us check. That, even if we found any weapons, we can only report them to the martial arts association first." Deputy Chief Wang spoke solemnly, as he has a lot more knowledge than the woman.
"Yay! As long as I can find the guns, hehe." Xia Lan celebrated, as she felt she had the chance to make trouble.
"Lan Lan! If you say one word inside, I will make sure to punish you after we go back. But you will regret such punishment." The older woman said as she saw the excited Xia Lan, which instantly made her into a deflated balloon.
"Alright! Follow me inside, but make sure you all stay quiet until we finish the business here. Even if that guy behaves arrogantly, you restrain yourself from saying anything, alright?" Deputy Chief Wang asked in a non-questioning manner, as his face turned solemn. Even Xia Lan is quite afraid of this mode of Deputy Wang, who only turns serious when the situation is severe.
Everyone nodded their heads as though agreeing with him. Satisfied, he led all of them into the sect hall, where Ning Qi is still waiting for them patiently.
Seeing that they were coming inside finally, Ning Qi stood up from his couch before walking to them.
"Hello! I'm the Deputy Chief Wang of the Guilin Police Department! Can this gentleman tell us your name?" Deputy Chief Wang asked Ning Qi very politely, as though he had turned into a complete person from two or three moments ago, making Xia Lan roll her eyes.
"Hello! I'm Ning Qi, the sect master of this Taohua sect! It's nice to meet you, Mr. Wang." Ning Qi also responded politely, making them feel a bit glad. Especially Deputy Chief Wang, who has contacts with the martial arts association and knows how arrogant these guys can behave.
"Nice to meet you too, Mr. Ning! I have brought the warrant to check your house for illegal weapons, as we have gotten a pretty decent report. I hope Mr. Ning will cooperate with us." Deputy Wang asked quite probingly, wanting to see how Ning Qi was going to react and then proceed accordingly.
"Hm! It's not an issue to me if you want to check the entire place. But I think you are looking for these two babies, right?" Ning Qi spoke quite peacefully, immediately alerting everyone present.
Xia Lan and the other young guy hurriedly took their guns out and pointed them at Ning Qi. But Ning Qi isn't as afraid, as the gap between them is around five meters each, and the guns these people are using have a lower muzzle velocity than his.
"You both better put down your guns, as they don't have any use against me." Ning Qi said as he felt the guns pointed at him, still making his body tingle a bit. While he said that, he put his guns on the table near the couch.
"Both of you lower your guns first!" Deputy Chief Wang said as he was confused by the words that Ning Qi said a moment ago. What does this guy mean? when he said that guns were useless against him.
Xia Lan and the other guy reluctantly lowered their weapons, especially Xia Lan, who felt this guy was quite arrogant and even dared to boast such things.
'If you aren't afraid of guns, Why are you carrying one? Ah, no... two.' She thought to herself.
"Mr. Ning! I think you already know it's illegal to carry guns, even for martial artists. You can either hand them over to us now or you can directly deal with the martial arts association. Please let me know how you want to deal with this." Deputy Chief Wang still spoke politely, as he felt that Ning Qi is probably a martial artist, at least at the peak of the martial master realm, to be able to speak such daunting words.
"Oh! My sect isn't under their martial arts association, and I also don't think they have the guts to apprehend my guns. As such, I'm choosing neither of the two options, Mr. Wang." Ning Qi spoke slowly, as he felt that he needed to finish this farce as soon as possible.
"Arrogant!" Xia Lan couldn't help but say, earning glares from both Deputy Chief Wang and the older female officer. While Ning Qi simply rolled his eyes, he doesn't know why this girl is always looking at him as though she is looking at an enemy, whom she just caught.
"But!..." Deputy Chief Wang wanted to say a bit more, wanting to persuade Ning Qi a bit. Even though this guy was quite arrogant when he said those words, he is still very polite toward them. And he knows if the martial arts association gets involved in this, it will be outside of their authority. If he deals with this without letting the martial artist association, then the Guilin Police department will have the support of a Martial sect.
This was the original intention, which is why he is trying his best to avoid martial artist associations. But he never thought Ning Qi, who is very polite, would completely disregard martial arts associations.
"No buts, Mr. Wang! I don't know whether you are aware of another hidden society that is never under the rule of government. My sect is not the martial artist sect that you thought of. So, you better let those people who have some knowledge about that come and talk with me." Ning Qi explained, and also released a bit of spiritual energy from his fingertip.
That scene instantly dumbfounded everyone on the spot, as all of them didn't know whether Ning Qi did a magic trick or something else. Except for Deputy Chief Wang, who broke out into a cold sweat as he remembered the things of the past, where he met the same type of guys as the man standing in front of him.
That was a unique experience he had. He went to martial artist's practice matches, where they all fought each other in the name of the exchange. But that day, they invited someone special and kept the audience in the dark until the last moment.
While the matches were just about to start, his friend, who is also from the same family as the ones that are in charge of these matches, told him that there was going to be a big surprise in a minute or two.
He was quite confused! But not that much, as he thought his friend was referring to the match that was about to start. He was confused because he has already seen martial artists in real combat many times, unlike the female officer, who has only met them once.
Then, in the next moment, he got petrified by a person coming from the air with a sword under his feet. He thought he was in some kind of different world altogether. Not just him, many people got awestruck by what they were experiencing at that time, except those that have knowledge about the hidden cultivation world. Even though they were not as surprised as they were, they still showed extreme respect toward that person.
He asked his friend what just happened and who that person was, and many more questions stammered out.
His friend then explained about the cultivation world to him and also boasted about how their sect is connected to that person's sect.
A completely new world opened to him that day. After he left there, the first thing he did was call his senior instructor, who was also a very special person with high authority in the military.
After he explained what he had experienced to him, that senior simply said a word,
'Oh! It looks like you finally had the chance to see them.'
He didn't say anything after. He just warned him to not spread things rashly and also gave him some rules to follow when he met them, just in case. He also mentioned that those guys are never under anyone's rule.
He didn't expect to meet such legendary figures again today. That guy even spoke to him politely, his legs started shivering with excitement, and he doesn't know how to respond.
His colleagues looked at him quite confusedly and thought that something was wrong with their deputy chief.
"What have you done to our chief? If you don't undo whatever you did, I will make sure to fire at you." Xia Lan hurriedly raised her gun at Ning Qi again, but instead of stopping her, the older woman also raised her gun, which immediately made the two young guys also follow her.
Ning Qi felt quite troubled as he looked at the guns pointing at him. He thought the situation would resolve once he released his spiritual energy, like last time in the Shen family. But instead, it escalated a bit, making him feel like crying and laughing at the same time.
Deputy Wang, who was still feeling excited, suddenly felt all that excitement go through the sink when he saw his colleagues pointing guns at a figure that could kill them by raising his finger.
He quickly adjusted his mind a bit before shouting at them quite angrily.
" All of you quickly put down your guns, if you don't want to die yet."
All of them were confused by what was happening with their chief and even felt quite wronged, as they were trying to help him.
Deputy Wang didn't bother with them, as he could explain to them later. The first preference here is to get out of here quickly, or else that dumb girl will irritate Ning Qi again, and then they all can become 'ghost officers'.
"Sect master Ning! My subordinates are quite impudent to point their guns at you. I hope that Sect Master Ning can pardon them. Also, we will not try to disturb you anymore with these mortal affairs." He said the words mortal affairs a bit pressed, as though wanting to express to Ning Qi that he is aware of his identity.
"Looks like you have quite some experience with people like us too, Mr. Wang! That makes things more simple for everyone, then. Of course, you don't have to worry too much... I'm not like all those that you may have seen. Since my sect is in Guilin, if there is any case that you come across related to people like me, just come here. If we can, we will help, but if it is too much for us... You guys can see yourself out, thanks! " Ning Qi said, before going on his way to the second floor.
"Thank you! Thank you so much, sect master Ning!" Deputy Wang gratefully shouted before dragging his subordinates away full of excitement.
