Repugnant Gateway

Chapter 20

Kou Liu was dead, killed by a toothpick.

This was the world of cultivators, and Kou Liu was outside the world of cultivators.

Those thresholds were not only the thresholds for the Gathering Merchant House, but also the thresholds for cultivators and ordinary people.

Kou just wanted to step over the threshold and he was dead.

An Zhan silently walked over and looked at the toothpick.

The toothpick was very ordinary, made of bamboo, with blood on it, Kou Liu’s blood.

He walked to the entrance of the courtyard and took out all the silver from his pocket. There were roughly two to three hundred silver taels, which he placed in the hands of one of the attendants.

The attendant did not want to agree, so he looked into An Zhe’s eyes.

He didn’t know why, but it was as if his heart had been split apart by An Zaiyue’s gaze.

Then he could only nod his head. He felt that if he said no, he would be scared out of his mind in the next second.

Of course, he didn’t have that kind of power in his current struggle, but he did have that kind of look in his eyes.

The attendant was at a loss for what to do as he held the tael of silver that An Xuan had given him.

He went to the door and looked down at the threshold.

When he had entered earlier, An Zhe hadn’t paid any attention to this doorstep.

Now, he suddenly felt that the threshold that separated the cultivators and the ordinary people was actually this high.

An Zhe was even wondering if there would be a toothpick flying out to kill him when he took a step forward.

So his feet stopped for a moment on the threshold, as if in defiance.

Nothing happened.

When he entered, he saw the young woman wearing a purple dress.

She was a woman with a very special temperament, able to give people an inexplicable sense of intimacy with her.

He felt like a young woman in a neighboring house with a child in her arms, bathing in the sun. He didn’t feel threatened at all.

However, she had a very noble temperament, as if she was born to be one of those women who should have been doted upon by tens of thousands.

“The little mister is back.”

She smiled.

She had called Anjou Little Friend before, but now she was called Little Mr..

An Zaiyue didn’t know if this change in address meant that the woman’s attitude towards him had changed.

From being blazing to becoming even hotter.

“Then what should I call you?”

Anjou asked.

The purple-dressed woman smiled. Although the veil covered her smile, it couldn’t cover up her crescent-like eyes.

“You can call me Mister.”

An Zhan muttered to himself, “Little mister, eldest mister … sounds like brother and sister.”

The purple-dressed woman said gently, “The people in this pavilion call me Madam.”

But those close to me call me Mister.

It’s not a bad thing if you think you and I are related by destiny.

I don’t mind having such a brilliant brother. Do you mind having another sister? ”

An Zeng nodded, “I mind.”

The purple dressed woman frowned. “Why?”

An Zhan earnestly replied, “Because after being brother and sister, you can’t have any other thoughts.”

The lady in purple dress was stunned. “Are you flirting with me?”

“Yeah, don’t you think so?”

The purple-dressed lady’s eyes narrowed even more. “Do you think you have the ability to take liberties with me?”

An Zeng lowered his head and looked, then let out a long sigh. “Destiny is just so cruel.”

The purple-dressed woman seemed to find this conflict especially interesting, so she didn’t get angry. “It’s been many years since I’ve seen such a fun child like you. The one I saw last time was a kid from the Su Clan from Illusory Realm. He seemed even more mischievous than you.”

Moreover, his talent is better than yours. He has undergone marrow cleansing at the age of six, ascended to the first grade at the age of seven, and ascended to the third grade at the age of nine.

She lowered her head and rubbed An Zeng’s head with her hand. “But unfortunately, he died at the age of ten.”

An Zhan narrowed his eyes and stared at her chest, which looked even more spectacular than before, “That’s such a pity … Fortunately, in three days, it will be my eleventh birthday, so I guess I’ll be able to live longer than the child you spoke of.”

“Life is beautiful everywhere, and the scenery is right before my eyes, so it’s better to live … If Mister has something to do, please tell me straightforwardly. I mean to stand up straight, although I’m young, that doesn’t mean I can’t be stubborn.”

The purple-dressed woman was still not angry. If it was another man talking like this, he would have died hundreds or thousands of times.

However, she still felt that this child, An Zaiyue, was very special. Even if he said those words unfairly, he was not a nuisance.

“Hard?”

She narrowed her eyes and smiled. “Then wait until you are strong enough before you tease me.”

I believe that with your ability, you will definitely be very strong in the future.

“But now, you really can’t.”

She straightened up and turned back, swinging her hips and legs.

Especially from the back, the purple-colored skirt was wrapped around her buttocks, and even the gaps between her buttocks could be faintly seen.

It was as if the white skin beneath the purple dress was about to be revealed.

Anjou was certain that she had done it on purpose, so he knew he had lost.

He teased her, but she teased him.

“Some of them want to grow up.”

An Zhan smiled and walked to the second floor.

Then, he saw Chen Shaobai standing at the corner of the second floor. This teenager who looked gloomy and mature was actually crying.

“… The Chen family is gone.”

he said.

An Zhan paused, then nodded. “No wonder they couldn’t wait to kill you. So they wanted to cut off your roots.”

It had only been half a day, but the Great Kou Tang was gone, as was the Chen family.

As for whose Nanshan Street this was, no one dared to guess until the news was confirmed.

As to how powerful the Chen Clan was, he had no idea.

However, there was one thing that was clear, and that was to destroy the Chen Clan’s influence. It would definitely be extremely powerful.

Did the cloth-clothed scholar at Auntie Ye’s tavern have anything to do with this matter?

“What are you going to do?”

An Zaibai asked Chen Shaobai, “Now that the Chen family is gone, I’m afraid that the Gathering Merchant House will not allow you to stay any longer.”

Chen Shaobai replied, “If I can be allowed until tomorrow morning, because I gave them the most valuable thing in the Chen family, they will protect me for one day and one night.”

An Zaiyue, I want to cultivate, I want to be strong, I want to take revenge!

But... until now, I don’t even know who my enemy is.

My father refused to tell me, and I knew that he would not let me take revenge, for the enemy must be very powerful, and my father did not want me to take any chances. ”

“You’re only ten years old, but your strength has already risen to the third grade.”

“I’m the same age as you, I can’t even cultivate.”

“With your way of doing things, I think you deserve to die,” he argued.

But if he died, he would betray your father’s wishes.

So I’ll only advise you … With your talent, even if you go to the Da Xi, you can still make a good foothold in a good sect.

But I want you to think back to your life before you were ten years old.

Have you bullied anyone who was inferior to you?

“If there is, then don’t use such an attitude in front of me, because you are not pitiful.”

Chen Shaobai was stunned, and then he took a deep breath. “You’re right, I’m stronger than others, so in the past, I was the one who bullied others. Others were stronger than me, so my family was destroyed and I perished.”

This is a world like this, what am I being unreasonable about?

I know where I’m going. It’s a place where I can be strong, a sect no one else knows about.

“It’s precisely because my father accidentally found out about this secret that there was the calamity that caused the annihilation of our sect today.”

“They want to ask my father where the sect is.

But my father would never say it, and the secret reward would be that I could study in that sect.

You followed me because I felt a little lonely. ”

An Zhan shook his head. “I can’t cultivate, so why should I follow you?”

“Your father gave you his life in exchange for a chance, yet you still haven’t comprehended his decisive fatherly love … Chen Shaobai, I think I should kill you.”

Chen Shaobai said, “Of course I know, but what should I do?

Cry?

I’ve already cried.

Crying can’t solve the problem, can only show my cowardice.

I’d already cried, and the damage done to me would come to an end.

From the moment I left, my father’s death and the destruction of the clan were both motivations for me to cultivate, but they would never hurt my heart again.

An Zhan waved his hand. “Goodbye.”

Chen Shaobai: “Follow me and become my attendant.”

I can tell you, once I enter that sect, when I come out again, I’ll be at the peak of the ninth heaven.

“Everyone will worship me, and you will enjoy the glory of being my follower.”

An Zhan said, “Scram.”

Chen Shaobai: “Why don’t you know how to appreciate favors?”

Without another word, he turned and walked out.

Chen Shaobai tried to stop An Zui, “I’m really a little afraid … I’ve never lived alone before.

An Zhan, as long as you follow me, I will reward you with countless benefits in the future!

“In the future, if I am successful, you can also enjoy the respect of the people!”

Anjou did not turn his head.

The Great Kou Tang was gone, as was the Chen family.

This was exactly what Anjou wanted to see, but he found that he had gained nothing.

Obtaining twelve Spirit Stones could change a person’s physique. Of course, he would need the help of a powerful warrior at the spatial realm in order to cleanse the marrow.

The sects had special formations to help the new disciples with marrow cleansing, but the requirements for the new disciples were too stringent.

With their current physiques, it was impossible for them to enter any sect.

“You will regret it!”

Chen Shaobai shouted from behind An Zeng.

An Zeng looked back and found that Chen Shaobai’s hair had turned white.

White hair at the age of ten, it really was Chen Shaobai.

An Zeng came down from the second floor, then walked to the first floor’s counter, looking at the arrogant young man inside, “May I ask how I can meet the First Mister? I want to tell her that I’m regretting my decision.”

The shop assistant was stunned for a moment before cursing, “Idiot.”

Anthea looked around. He knew the big man must be watching him in the dark, and there must be a smile on his face.

She already knew that the Chen Clan was finished, which was why she chose to appear in front of An Zaiyue.

She thought it was teasing, funny.

Now that An Zhe had lost the Chen Clan, he would definitely regret rejecting her offer.

So of course, she would not appear again, because she just wanted to see the look of regret on An Zhe’s face.

How boring life is, who is not flirting?

There was nothing.

The purple-dressed woman did not appear again, and she turned around in a lonely manner.

However, no one noticed the hint of a smile on the corner of An Zhe’s mouth when he turned around.

If I don’t make you think I regret it, I am afraid you will kill me at once for my pride.

It was dark when Anjou left the courtyard.

The streets of Nanshan Street were very quiet. There were no pedestrians at all.

He walked to the entrance of the academy and discovered that the interior was lit by a lamp.

Then, he saw all the corpses, except Kou Ba and Kou Liu, hanging from the ceiling rafters.

The corpses were stiff and still swaying slightly.

In the dark corner of the academy’s room, there was a ghost sitting there, staring at An Zeng with a cold gaze.

This was not the first time he had experienced such a thing, so he was not afraid.

Leaving the academy of the Great Kou Tang, he headed towards the entrance of his own small courtyard in peace.

Then his heart tightened, for he saw that the lights were on in his own house, and when he left it was still light.

He saw a man sitting in the doorway of the yard, grinning.
