Repugnant Gateway Chapter 185

The second floor of the bookstore.

Yan Ji glanced at the female teacher who was still calm. He frowned deeply. ""Song Qiao Sheng left the library, why didn't you report this to the newspapers?""

The female teacher did not stand up. She put down the book in her hands. ""Up until now, we still have not received any instructions from the new headmaster. Therefore, we naturally followed the original instructions of Principal Sang.""

Dean Sang's original order was to let us take care of our own affairs when we sensed that something might have gone wrong.

If it's within our capabilities, we'll take care of it ourselves.

If it's someone outside of our capabilities, we will inform our close friends and generals immediately.

""But now, the general is not in the capital!""

He choked on his words for a moment, wanting to get angry, but he held it back.

He knew that he had indeed been careless and thought that nothing would happen, but something happened.

""Forget it, if anything happens again in the future, immediately report it to me.""

He waved his hand. ""Tell me everything you know.""

Chang Huan said softly, ""Huotang Tang, you also know how important this matter is. If you are not careful, you will be doomed because of this matter.""

The purpose of the academy's establishment in the past was to build talent for Great Yan.

And then there was the other responsibility.

You've been in the library for so many years, you know more than I do.

""So I hope you can tell us everything you know. It's better than holding on to the truth between you and Song Qiao.""

""It's been many years since I've been here, and now someone has come to tell me these things. Don't you think it's a little late?""

With a cold voice, he said, ""You have been holding your ground for so many years. That was Principal Sang's order. It had nothing to do with me.""

""Since that's the case, why should I tell you?""

With a reserved tone, he said, ""I am now the Dean of the Martial Arts Academy. Everything you do must be responsible to me.""

Huodan shook his head, ""I'm only responsible for what I do.""

When President Sang found me, he had already said that the fewer people who knew about this matter, the better.

So if I choose to agree, then I will face a long period of loneliness.

I considered agreeing with President Sang one night, and then I told myself that I was responsible for my decision.

So many years later, an unrelated person came over and told me that it would be shameful if I didn't feel that it was laughable to take responsibility for him. ""

Just as he was about to speak, he was stopped by Chang Huan, ""Sir, can I take care of this matter?""

With a grunt, he flicked his sleeves and left.

Chang Huan sat down across from him. ""Perhaps each of you misunderstood Teacher, he doesn't seem to be the same type of person as Principal Sang.""

However, if the rumors were true, Teacher Sang and Principal Sang were at loggerheads.

Then why did Dean Sang not drive him away when he was alive?

As you know, before Her Majesty is fully in power, President Sang has plenty of opportunity to drive him away.

""With the old Military Minister as Chairman Sang's backer, how secure is President Sang's position?""

""But Principal Sang hasn't chased Teacher away all this time. Can't that explain the problem?""

""What does this have to do with me?""

Chang Huan nodded, ""It does, it does.""

President Sang did not chase him away because he knew what kind of person he was.

""You should be well aware of the way President Sang looks at people and also believe in his character.""

He took a breath and continued, ""Sometimes, things are far from being as superficial as they seem.

I can only tell you that the contradiction that makes others look is not necessarily one of contradiction.

The person who made others think that it was impossible for them to become friends was not necessarily not a friend.

""Teacher's personality is just like that, but his words really do make people feel uncomfortable. Otherwise, he wouldn't make people feel that he and Principal Sang were at odds.""

""You're saying …?"" The expression on Huotang's face finally changed. ""You're saying …?""

Chang Xiao laughed, ""It doesn't matter what I say. The important things in the library have already been passed on to Teacher from President Sang.""

The word inheritance caused Huo Tang to be shocked.

She was silent for a moment, then went on: ""I've already looked for it. There was indeed a book missing on the second floor.""

""However, I've seen that book countless times before. It's just an ordinary introductory cultivation technique. I've seen it on the second floor, so there hasn't been any problems in so many years.""

Chang Huan asked, ""There are at least a thousand books on the second floor. Could you have remembered wrongly?""

""If you were to rearrange the books the students have messed up every day and put them back according to their original location, then you will also be certain that you are not mistaken.""

Chang Huan's heart ached. A woman who had stayed here for so many years, it could even be said that she had left her most beautiful youth behind.

People had gotten used to her presence. Perhaps even the bookkeepers had gotten used to her presence.

However, how many people had thought about how these thousands of days and nights had come by?

She had persisted for several years longer than Song Qiao had ascended, and the latter had already become somewhat crazed.

""In other words … the seniors of the Martial Arts Academy have been searching for such a long time. In fact, they have always been in the library, always in front of us. It's just that we haven't discovered anything.""

Chang Huan sighed, ""This is really ironic … what should we do now?""

""You just said … since Dean Yan got the inheritance from Dean Sang, then I'm sure that Dean Yan is very clear on what to do.""

I'm just a guard, and I've made a mistake.

He watched helplessly as the thing slipped away in front of him, but he did not notice it.

So … I don't have the qualification to say how I should deal with this matter. ""

Chang Huan shook his head, ""No one said that you made a mistake. We all know very well how powerful that thing is.""

Huodan Tang's tone was no longer as cold. ""Song Qiao had An Zeng take him to see that place. He wanted to see if there were any problems from where An Zeng and Ding Shengxia were fighting.""

I've been here for so many years, but that thing didn't move for so many years. Only Ding Shengxia didn't move until she arrived … so the only thing I can do now is to find Ding Shengxia.

Or, figure out why that thing chose Ding Shengxia to take it out. ""

Chang Huan's frown deepened. He stood up and paced back and forth in the room. After an hour, he suddenly turned around. ""Perhaps I thought of … Why hasn't that thing moved for so many years?""

It's because although our Martial Arts Academy is not lacking in ruthlessness, that's not enough for it.

A person's mind is not narrow enough, character is not bad enough, conduct is not bad enough, thought is not evil enough, I'm afraid it will not choose.

Ding Shengxia just met all of its needs, so it waited for so many years to find a suitable candidate. ""

He looked at Hutang, ""Say, if another evil person appeared in front of it, would it appear?""

""It has already left the library … the outside world is a sea to it, and it is a fish returning to the water.""

So Ding Shengxia is important because Ding Shengxia is the only clue that can be traced now. Is Dante Shengxia really important?

There were people more evil, narrower, and more paranoid than Ding Shengxia.

It could abandon Ding Shengxia at any time, because it has enough candidates. ""

She turned her head to the window again. ""I thought cultivating the Ten Years Tranquil Lotus had become aware of all the filth and filth. Now I know that it has always been before my eyes, but I can't see or detect it at all.""

""Don't let this disturb your state of mind. Ten years of meditation is not easy!""

""Thank you … I know how to hold onto my heart. I just hope it works.""

Chang Huan was silent for a moment before replying, ""You can rest for now. I'll take care of this matter for the time being.""

I'll go chase Song Qiao first, hoping to help him out a bit.

In addition, it was too difficult for him to understand why An Zaihai didn't know of this matter.

""So no matter what he asks you in the future, don't say it.""

""That's not the level he can touch, what's the point in saying it?""

Chang Huan bade farewell, before rushing out of the Martial Arts Academy.

His left hand came out of his sleeve, and he held a small yellow, narrow, flat slip of paper between his fingers.

He held the slip of paper in his left hand and wrote the word ""Song"" on it with his right index finger.

The slip of paper suddenly began to burn and then transformed into a stream of flames that flew forward.

Chang Huan followed behind Liu Huo, dashing towards Fang Zhucheng.

To the south of Fang Gu City, within a desolate stone city.

Amidst the mess, Song Qiao's face turned uglier and uglier, ""Ding Shengxia has already been bewitched so far, but there is still demonic energy left here.""

He muttered to himself in a very soft voice, but he did not hear clearly. ""What did Teacher say?""

Song Qiao said, ""It's nothing … fight for it, are you still hiding something from me?""

The atmosphere was still chaotic, but I could feel that there had once been one or two unusual magical equipment here.

""With such a powerful aura, it means that one of them is already damaged.""

An Xuan said, ""Ding Shengxia did use a magical weapon with a very strange aura, a long spear.""

I … I have a very high grade magical equipment in my hands, so Ding Shengxia's magical equipment was broken by my magical equipment.

""This aura is most likely left behind because of this.""

Song Qiao asked anxiously, ""Where's Ding Shengxia's magic item?""

""Half of them were taken by him, and the other half were taken home by me.""

Song Qiao was a bit worried. ""Why didn't you say anything just now?""

""I don't understand this, and I don't understand why you care so much about it.""

""I only took half of Ding Shengxia's magic item. I want to go back and see why it's so strange …""

Song Qiao's expression eased up a bit. ""An Zhan, this matter is quite serious.""

I can't tell you what it is yet, but believe me.

""The half magic tool you left behind will very likely become the key to resolving this issue.""

""I'll get it for you when I get back.""

Song Qiao nodded his head. ""I'll continue here and see if I can find anything. Go quickly and come back.""

An Zhe nodded. He felt that there was a huge secret behind this matter.

The half-piece of magic equipment was nothing to him, and handing it over to Song Qiao to ascend was not something unacceptable.

By the time An Zaiyue returned to the sect, everyone was already asleep.

He lightly knocked on Old Huo's door. The door creaked open from the inside. The bloodshot Old Huo's first sentence was, ""I probably know where that thing came from.""

An Xuan's face changed, and he rushed into the room and closed the door behind him.

Old Huo held an ancient book in his hands. An Zou had already seen this ancient book many times, and it was viewed as a treasure by Old Huo.

Old Huo handed the ancient book over to An Zaiyue, ""Look at this page … When I read this, I saw it as a legend. Now, I know that every single word here is useful, and that it exists in the real world.""

Under the light of the lamp in the room, An Zui took a closer look at the page that Old Huo was looking at.

There was only one picture on the left page. It was a portrait of a middle-aged man. Although it was already blurry, he could still feel the evil between the middle-aged man's brows from the portrait.

The page on the right started with seven words … Magister, nineteen devils.
