Chapter 95

"Of course, there are also some arrogant individuals who are unwilling to be controlled by others. However, these people often don't live long. First, the state does not allow such people to exist. Additionally, internationally, there is an organization that all psychics hate. The people in this organization call themselves hunters, and their prey is psychics!" Chu Qian continued to say.

"Is it true that psychics have no other options besides joining state institutions?" He Dong asked in confusion.

"Of course there are. Apart from state institutions, there are several powerful psychic organizations worldwide, such as the Western Church and the Dark Council, the Zoroastrianism, the Nature Deity Religion, the Hunter Organization, and so on!" Chu Qian listed them off.

"What you mentioned are all foreign. What about our country?" He Dong suddenly asked.

"Our country is special, being the birthplace of ancient martial arts, so there are quite a few sects. However, with the development of history, many sects have been lost. Currently, the top ones are Shaolin and Wudang..." Chu Qian explained in great detail to win over He Dong.

"What? Shaolin? Wudang? Are you sure you're not telling me a martial arts story?" He Dong exclaimed in surprise upon hearing these well-known names.

"If you can have psychic abilities, why can't you believe in these things? Don't you know that many legendary stories come from real life?" Chu Qian said dismissively.

"Uh!" He Dong nodded thoughtfully, but then asked in confusion, "According to what you said, there should be quite a few psychics. But why haven't I ever encountered any? Not just me, but my parents, who are almost fifty, have never met one either?"

"That's simple. The psychic world has an unwritten rule: psychics must not reveal their abilities to ordinary people!" Chu Qian explained.

"No wonder! By the way, you only mentioned ancient martial arts. What about our country's psychics?" He Dong nodded and continued to ask.

"In our country, the management of martial artists has always been strict, and it's even stricter for psychics. All psychics must join the National Security Bureau 9, or they will be eliminated!" Chu Qian said seriously.

"Are you also from the National Security Bureau 9?" He Dong furrowed his brows and asked tentatively.

"Yes, not just me, but all the psychics from the four major families have registered with the National Security Bureau 9!" Chu Qian nodded.

"Four major families? Qiao, Lin, Chu, and Hua?" He Dong asked.

"Yes! Most people only know that our four major families are above all first-class families, but they don't know why. Only the core figures of those first-class families know that each of our four major families has an SS-level psychic! This powerful military deterrent is the foundation of our four major families." Chu Qian revealed more and more information to He Dong.

"Wow, there are actually SS-level psychics? Is there an SSS level too?" He Dong was amazed again.

"Yes, that's the highest level of psychics. As far as I know, there are only seven in the world! Our country has two, the current Shaolin and Wudang abbots. The Church and the Dark Council each have one, the leader of the Hunter Organization has one, the goddess of the Nature Deity Religion has one, and the leader of the Zoroastrianism has one!" Chu Qian continued to bombard He Dong's mind with these secrets.

"This world is truly terrifying!" He Dong sighed.

"Yes, this world is very dangerous. Before my psychic abilities awakened, I thought that being born into one of the four major families and having a noble identity meant I could show off and act arrogantly. Back then, I often led a group of people to cause trouble everywhere. Now, thinking about it, it was truly a case of ignorance being bliss!" Chu Qian also sighed.

"As someone from the four major families, you feel the danger of this world, which means you don't feel safe. So why should I join you? Besides, since I have to register with the state anyway, wouldn't it be easier to directly join the National Security Bureau 9, and I would have fewer constraints!" He Dong followed Chu Qian's words.

"You don't understand! Although psychics who join the National Security Bureau 9 have a high degree of freedom and significant power, they also have to fulfill certain responsibilities and complete dangerous national tasks. The psychics from our four major families don't have these restrictions. Moreover, the reason our four major families have stood firm for hundreds of years is that each family has its own methods to enhance the abilities of psychics. For example, this top-grade Three Cups Down is something only our Chu family can brew, and you won't get these in the National Security Bureau 9." Chu Qian tried to tempt He Dong.

"It's not enough. If it's just these, I'd rather choose more freedom. Besides, I'm a bit lazy and don't have grand ambitions, so I don't really care about enhancing my abilities!" After hearing Chu Qian's words, He Dong had a vague idea in his mind, but he still wanted to see if he could squeeze out more benefits, so he put on an indifferent smile.

"How can you be like this?" Chu Qian was angry at He Dong's "unambitious" appearance, her beautiful eyes narrowing.

"How am I? Being powerful is good, but the responsibility is also significant. I'm the least responsible person!" He Dong continued to act like a scoundrel.

"You know, our kind of psychics awaken their abilities, so not everyone can become a psychic. We can't pass down our abilities like ancient martial arts sects. However, based on the research of our four major families over the years, the descendants of psychics are more likely to awaken their abilities. Therefore, the women of our four major families only marry psychics. If you join our Chu family, then..." Chu Qian's voice grew softer, and her delicate face turned a charming shade of red.

This was temptation, pure and simple. Looking at Chu Qian's eyes, which carried a hint of resentment and an inexplicable emotion, He Dong's heart felt as if it had been struck, and it suddenly beat violently. He almost blurted out that he would join the Chu family.

But at that moment, a sudden, urgent ringtone startled He Dong.

"Hehe, sorry, sorry, I need to take this call!" He Dong fumbled in his pocket for his phone, not daring to look at Chu Qian's eyes, and ran to the side in a fluster.

"Damn! Why now, of all times!" Chu Qian looked at He Dong's back, feeling frustrated. After all, just when she was about to succeed, a phone call ruined everything, which made anyone feel uncomfortable.
