Repugnant Gateway

Chapter 1186 – Stealing

An Zheng had originally planned to find everyone who had messed with the first branch family member, one by one, without sparing them a single glance. However, Wan Zongjie from the second and Dou Chunjie from the fifth were both absent. All of a sudden, they became dull.

Du Shoushou was afraid that the other people would be bullied after they left, so he decided to stay in the branch office until nightfall before returning. An Zheng walked out of the DEA’s gate and wandered around the streets. He bought some pastries from the apricot shop, some tea from Ru Yi Pavilion, and some things from Bai Sheng Academy.

When he arrived at the Academy, it was already noon. An Zheng did not return to the Eye Congealing Pavilion, and instead arrived outside the small courtyard where his eldest senior brother, An Caichen, lived alone. This small courtyard completely fit An Caichen’s personality. It was hidden in the bamboo forest, with fences, wooden doors, simple houses, and simple decorations.

An Zheng stood at the door with his stuff in his hands, wanting to shout out loud, but thinking that his senior brother was still injured and could not move, there was no meaning in shouting, so he just pushed open the door and walked in.

Just as he entered the courtyard, a girl in a cotton dress, holding a water basin in her hands, walked out. The basin was full of clothes, and one could see traces of blood on some parts of the clothes. She was petite and had a hairband around her head, making her look even more delicate.

An Zheng was stunned, he did not expect to meet her at this place.

The young Spirit Race girl, Du Ruo.

When Du Ruoruo saw An Zheng, she was also stunned for a moment. She obviously did not expect An Zheng to return, and it was unknown if she was shocked or what, but the wooden basin in her hands actually fell down. It was as if he had been caught doing something he shouldn’t have done.

An Zheng teleported over and smiled while holding the wooden basin: “Are you throwing me out?”

Du Ruo’s face turned red, then white as she stood there at a loss as to what to do. She wanted to explain something, but she didn’t know what to say. It was as if the teacher who had just secretly said something to another boy in class had caught him in a fit of reverence and made a grave mistake.

An Zheng did not think much about it, because he did not care too much about this girl. However, Duro was thinking too much in his heart … Initially, she came to find An Zheng to repay his gratitude, but in his mind there was always the thought that he would follow An Zheng for the rest of his life. Although he kept denying it, it still popped out from time to time.

But when she arrived at Yancheng, she clearly knew where An Zheng was but she did not go there. Instead, she stayed with An Caichen and took care of him, so she felt that she made a mistake. Her first impression was that she would care more about An Zheng, which was why she was at a loss when An Zheng appeared.

“Eldest Brother is sleeping?”

An Zheng asked.

Du Ruo nodded subconsciously as she stood there rubbing her hands, her face still as pale as ever.

“Oh.”

An Zheng put down the wooden basin, carried his things and walked up the stairs: “I took a glance at him and left. I haven’t come to see him after returning to the Yancheng.”

“He... “I slept after taking some medicine.”

Du Ruo also didn’t think that she would say suching. Because the hidden meaning of this sentence was … Please do not disturb An Caichen’s sleep.

Of course An Zheng recognized it, he stopped his footsteps, and after being silent for a while, he passed the thing in his hand to Du Ruo: “Then I’ll come back later.”

After Du Ruoruo finished speaking, she regretted it, because she suddenly realized that she did not have the rights to reject An Zheng’s visit. This feeling was, she was the one who was closer to him in the courtyard, so he could let her leave.

“That’s not what I meant.”

Du Ruoruo wanted to explain, but An Zheng smiled as he placed the things in her hands, then turned and left.

An Caichen was actually awake. He already knew that An Zheng had come when he was still not too close to the small courtyard, so he was in a difficult situation. He was very nervous, and he even had a fear that An Zheng might not even know where he came from. Of course, he couldn’t let Du Ruo leave because of An Zheng, and he couldn’t let An Zheng leave because of Du Ruo either. After all, Du Ruo had come to find An Zheng, but stay here to take care of him … The feeling of him making a mistake was even stronger than Du Ruo’s, to the point that he chose a very cowardly method … Pretend to sleep.

When An Zheng left the small courtyard, Du Rui and An Caichen let out a long sigh of relief at the same time.

However, after leaving the small courtyard, An Zheng suddenly started laughing. His laughter was so loud that it seemed as though he had caught a breath, as he then muttered a sentence to himself … One big and one small, two pure idiots.

An Zheng obviously did not expect that at that moment, when Du Ruo had almost rubbed his hands until they were broken, An Caichen was lying on the bed and using his strength to grab the bed sheets. After An Zheng left, he was so nervous that he thought he was just wiping the sweat off his palms, but he realised that he had torn the bed sheets.

An Zheng really missed Xiao Liu’er.

In the blink of an eye, half a year had passed. It seemed to be very fast, but every single day was torture for An Zheng. Furthermore, the place where Xiao Liu’er and Xiao Yezi were, walace that the Bai Shengjun, which An Zheng was at, could not tolerate water and fire.

After returning to his own residence, An Zheng started to cultivate.

At the same time, in another place within the Yancheng, another person was madly cultivating.

Qiu Mayi was very satisfied with his disciple who had just joined the sect, the successor whom he had only found after searching for a long time. Looking at Tan Shanse who was standing in front of the Star Observation Platform and raising his head to look at the starry sky, without moving, Qiu Mayi had a smile on his face.

“Master, something doesn’t seem right.”

Tan Shanse suddenly turned around and called out.

Tan Shanse said: “From last night, disciple has been looking at many fate stars, and the brightest one here is Your Majesty. The fate star of the Your Majesty was originally very big and bright, but it was not in the form of an ancient light. But now, Your Majesty’s Fated Star seems to be more than twice its original size, and it still continues to expand. ”

“Of course.”

Qiu Mayi laughed: “Your Majesty has met his own benefactor. From today onwards, everything will be fine.”

“But, who is that little star after the Fated Star? That person from the Your Majesty? ”

“Hmm?”

Qiu Mayi was slightly startled. Previously, he did not notice any small stars beside Ning Xiaolou’s Fated Star. As he walked to Tan Shanse’s side and raised his head to look at the sky, he indeed saw a companion star behind that great shining star. Even though it was very small, and was almost completely hidden by the light of Ning Xiaolou’s Fated Star, it still struggled with all its might, as if it was trying to break free from the Fated Star’s shackles.

“It doesn’t look like it.”

Qiu Mayi’s expression became ugly. “That shouldn’t be him, but who else could it be?”

Tan Shanse said with a serious expression on his face, “Master, do you see? Your Majesty’s Fated Star seems to be grabbing onto that small star with all his might, wanting to keep it by its side as a companion star to protect you.”

“Yeah, I saw it.”

Qiu Mayi nodded his head, “So it’s alright. According to the logic of fate, when a person reaches a certain level of strength, their fate star will expand and the bigger it becomes, the stronger it becomes. The resulting traction force would pull the nearby small star over, forcefully absorbing the force from the small star to continue feeding itself. This little star looks weak, but seems like her fate is extremely hard. With this little star accompanying her, Your Majesty’s luck should be better. ”

Tan Shanse seemed to have let out a long sigh of relief, “That’s good.”

Qiu Mayi nodded: “I’ll go tell this matter to Your Majesty.”

“Master, let’s not talk about this for now. If Your Majesty thought about it too much, he might think that Xiao Xing did something bad to himself. Right now, Big Star is holding onto Little Star. Little Star provides power for Big Star and is beneficial to Your Majesty, so … ”

Qiu Mayi muttered to himself for a moment, and said: “What you said makes sense, if that little star really is that noble’s Fated Star, and then suddenly escaping after finding out about this, would not be good for the Your Majesty. “Let’s put it down for now. We’ll talk about it when we have the chance or when we see unexpected changes in the constellations.”

Tan Shanse’s expression relaxed, and his eyes flickered.

“Keep watching, I’ll go check on how things are with the Tianshu Room.” This Tian Shu iroduct of my life’s work, I can’t afford for anything to go wrong. Once something goes wrong with Dubhe Yi, I’m afraid I won’t be able to rest easy for the rest of my life. ”

“Don’t worry master, there won’t be any problems.”

Tan Shanse lowered his head and said.

Qiu Mayi smiled and nodded as he turned to leave. As he walked, he said: “You have not rested for three days and three nights. “The combination of work and rest will be ready in a moment.”

“Disciple understands.”

After Qiu Mayi left, Tan Shanse suddenly dropped to the ground, as if all the energy in his body had been sucked out of him. He sat there breathing heavily. The sweat on his forehead was as big as soybeans, rolling down one by one. On his back, his clothes were drenched in sweat. He sat there as if he had just struggled out of the gates of hell.

In fact, he had just struggled out of the gates of hell. He did his best and told a huge lie just to survive. He subconsciously turned his head back to the direction Qiu Mayi had left in. His face was still very white, and there was still a lingering fear in his heart. Who is Qiu Mayi? He was the creator of the Dao of Stars. Who in this world could easily deceive him?

But if she didn’t lie to him, the one who died would be herself.

“I’m sorry …”

Tan Shanse muttered to himself.

He apologized to the person he did not know, feeling guilty. Because of his lies, something could happen to that person. That person was probably Qiu Mayi’s mistake in the first place. And this guilt was quickly replaced by an excitement that came after cheating. Tan Shanse was stunned for a moment, why would he be happy about suching? In fact … Very excited?

This is the pleasure of scheming against others. Could it be that I was born like this?

Tan Shanse felt waves of fear, but the fear quickly disappeared. He was still excited, incomparably excited.

It felt good.

He stood up, holding onto the railing, and raised his head to look at the sky. That huge, shining star of fate was Ning Xiaolou’s, and the small star being tied up behind him seemed to be struggling to escape … From the surface, it looked flawless, but it was something that Tan Shanse had used all of his effort to disguise.

That little star was him.

That wasn’t some big star trying to devour the power of the little star, nor was it the little star trying to struggle with her life, but it was... The Little Star was stealing the fate of the Great Star.

Tan Shanse took a deep breath, and tightly gripped onto the railings.
