Chapter 188.2 (2/2)

Although the Shadow Gate's technique is quite mysterious, but to put it bluntly, it is in fact a method that slows down the flow of true qi inside the body and “blocks” the “major acupoints” of the body to prevent true qi from leaking outside and causing fluctuations in spiritual qi.

However, if you try to operate true qi, the huge pressure generated by true qi running at high speed is still enough to break through the technique's blockade and cause fluctuations in spiritual qi.

In other words, although Luo Hong has the ability to sneak in, yet he may not be able to use even a little bit of true qi. Otherwise, the moment after he operates his true qi, Xue Qilin will rush over.

Because of this, Gong Tianqing was able to muster her courage, and didn't immediately call for help. What's more, since she heard of Luo Hong's character from the late Luo Qing, she believes that the other party wouldn't sneak into her room for no reason.

There must be an important reason for him to come find me — Gong Tianqing mused.

“Commander Luo…”

Gong Tianqing peered at Luo Hong's expression timidly. She hesitated for a while, and then asked probingly.

“For you to pay me a visit late at night, is there something you want to talk about?”

“Mhm, there is.”

Luo Hong's voice was as weak as ever, as if it came from who knows where.

“Please excuse me for appearing uninvited, for paying a visit late at night. It is not convenient for me to visit you during the day, Young Lady Gong. You should know that your Young Ancestor…” Luo Hong used a slightly aggrieved tone, “… doesn't like me very much.”

Although Luo Hong only partic.i.p.ated in the Luo Qing incident because Luo Qing entrusted him with it, but Xue Qilin still took her anger out on him and even threatened to beat him up if she sees him again.

Perhaps that is the reason why. In order to avoid disputes, Luo Hong didn't visit her in the customary way. Feeling sorry for him, Gong Tianqing waved her hands.

“It, it's okay… I'll pour you a cup of tea.”

Gong Tianqing wanted to get out of bed. But when she extended her left foot out of bed, she suddenly realized that she is almost naked under the quilt, only wearing undergarments. As a result, she let out a short cry and retracted her left foot under the quilt.

“I, I'm sorry, Commander Luo, I'm not fully clothed, it's inconvenient…”

Luo Hong was taken aback for a moment, and then shook his head bitterly.

“It's okay, I didn't come to be a guest.”

“Huh, is, is that so?”

“Mhm.”

Even though she saw Luo Hong nod his head, Gong Tianqing still couldn't relax.

“Then at least I'll have to pour you a cup of tea…”

Gong Tianqing said stubbornly while fumbling about with her hand, looking for the clothes placed on the nightstand. She is oblivious to the fact that her fair arm, which has been exposed from underneath the quilt, has entered Luo Hong's eyes.

Luo Hong, who has been calm all along, looked away somewhat awkwardly and dissuaded her a little hastily, “Really, you don't have to mind me.”

“That won't do. The moment you cross the doorway, you are considered a guest. How can I not serve a cup of tea to my guest!”

“Ugh… I'm not really a tea person.”

Seeing that Gong Tianqing, who didn't find her clothes, bit her lower lip with a struggling expression. Luo Hong, afraid that she may directly jump out from below the quilt, looked around, at a loss of what to do. Finally, he saw a kettle on a table.

“I'm fine with just water.”

He hurriedly walked up to the table, poured himself a gla.s.s of water, and took a sip.

“The water is out of this world…”

“Huh, Commander Luo… is, is just water all right?” Gong Tianqing stopped moving, stunned, “The water should be cold already…”

“It's fine, it's fine, I like drinking cold water the most.”

Seeing that the scantily clothed Gong Tianqing looks like she has given up on the idea of jumping out of bed, Luo Hong secretly sighed a sigh of relief. At the same time, he wondered if there was ever a time that he was in such an embarra.s.sing situation.
