The Mightiest Little Master of Metaphysics
Chapter 200 - 197 Directly Kill It_2

The Snow Mountain Goddess, hiding in the painting, finally breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

Though she guards the Snow Mountain and holds the fort, worshipped by the people, she is, in fact, a demon formed from ice and snow.

If truly held accountable, falling into demonic ways is a tremendously serious crime.

Hu Ju wore a serious expression, "So Qi means that the mastermind behind all of this is the Demon Clan."

The statement dropped, leaving the conference room in pin-drop silence.

All the bigwigs wore stern expressions, as if pondering their own thoughts.

Members of the Demon Clan are rebels from the other Five Clans, who do not believe in the Heavenly Dao and wish to establish their own rules.

Thus, the Five Clans united to suppress the Demon Clan. Back then, in the Battle of Mountain and Sea, the Demon Clan was defeated over thousands of miles, and since then, they have never posed a threat, hiding in the Demon Realm for centuries without showing up.

The 49 Bureau was established at that time, not only to jointly manage the Five Clans and impose severe punishment on those who fall into demonic paths but also to convene bigwigs of each clan to monitor the Demon Clan together.

Hu Ju squinted his fox-like eyes; there was rare seriousness and earnestness in his pupils, "Since it involves the Demon Clan, it requires careful consideration. Today’s meeting concludes here."

The bosses paused for a moment, then rose with great noise, and the conference room was filled with the hair-raising sound of chairs scraping the floor.

Yun Qi also jumped down from the chair, feeling completely relaxed. Although this matter is still quite bizarre and requires a thorough investigation, she’s not part of the 49 Bureau. Getting the 49 Bureau to realize the severity of the problem is enough; Hu Ju will assign someone to investigate next.

"Yun Qi, what’s next?" Li Bai approached with a cheerful smile and asked.

Today, he wore a black robe over a white outfit with wide sleeves; the black and white contrasted, and the ample air conditioning in the conference room blew the hem of his robe, making him appear extraordinarily graceful and outstanding.

Yun Qi shook her head, "I’m just a child, what can I plan? I listen to the adults."

"Ha-ha, modest now, clearly just helped to exonerate the Snow Mountain Goddess, and yet you dare to say you’re out of ideas."

Yun Qi blinked innocently, like a mischievous little devil, "The Snow Mountain Goddess is Uncle Bai’s fan; would Uncle bear to hand her over?"

Li Bai waved his hand, "Just kidding, am I the kind of person who doesn’t appreciate beauty?"

Hu Ju, pulling aside his assistant to give some instructions, then came over, "Yun Qi, do you still have to go back to Hai City?"

"I’ll listen to the adults’ arrangements. Going back to Hai City is fine, plus I have to attend kindergarten anyway."

"Tsk tsk," Hu Ju returned to his usual lazy and carefree demeanor, teasingly saying, "Yun Qi is indeed the most sensible little girl in the world. How about this, I’ll talk to your grandfather and let you stay in the Capital City instead of going back to Hai City."

"But I still need to attend kindergarten!" Yun Qi muttered, pouting discontentedly.

"Huh? I thought a brilliant kid like you wouldn’t fit in, but it seems you’re quite attached to attending kindergarten. Speaking of which... you probably don’t know, our 49 Bureau has its own kindergarten too."

"Hmm?" Yun Qi’s eyes sparkled.

"It’s the 49 Bureau’s exclusive kindergarten, filled with children of 49 Bureau employees and bigwigs from various clans. Speaking of this..." Hu Ju amusingly squinted his eyes and spoke in a lazily alluring tone, "Others don’t know the nature of the 49 Bureau, all assuming it’s a nationally prestigious agency. Once, someone thought they were of significant stature and tried to pull strings to transfer their child to our kindergarten. I couldn’t be bothered to argue with them, so I agreed. But within a few days, they awkwardly took their child back and never sent them again. Guess why?"

Just as Yun Qi was about to speak, Hu Ju interjected:

"That’s right, because our kindergarten kids are just too cute."

"It’s probably because they’re too peculiar."

"As a child, isn’t it inappropriate for you to be so blunt???"

"Oh? Not going home? Does my dad, your grandpa, know about this?"

In the rotating restaurant on the top floor of the 49 Bureau building, Yun Qiuce asked as he twirled spaghetti with a fork.

Hu Ju said he’d personally talk to Grandpa." Yun Qi pouted, taking a hearty bite of the chewy steak.

The 49 Bureau, highly envied by outsiders as an agency directly under the President’s Mansion, offers top-tier employee benefits and salary packages. The revolving restaurant at the top provides extremely authentic Chinese and Western cuisine, and it’s free for bureau employees.
