Repugnant Gateway

Chapter 117

When An Zhe left the courtyard, he suddenly felt like laughing. He originally thought that his reborn life would be boring, but who would have thought that it would be so exciting.

Compared to the previous experience of walking step by step to the first seat of the Hall of Magic, his life had been much more tortuous.

Not long after he left the yard, An Zhe always felt a pair of cold eyes looking at him from behind.

This feeling was not good. Before the incident in the Yan Country, he had this feeling as well.

However, at that time, he didn"t think too much about it in order to save the heavy weapon.

This kind of feeling was probably like walking in the wilderness with a chill running down your spine. When you looked back … a wolf was not far behind you.

The older generation always taught the younger generation, if there was something suddenly hanging over your shoulder in the wilderness, never to turn around, the wolf would bite your neck if you turned around … .How could the wolf have such patience, if it could put its claws on a person"s shoulder, it would already bite.

The people on the prairie had a deeper understanding of wolves. In Fanggu, there were many nomads from the north, and they would be treated well in the Yan Dynasty.

Therefore, he had chatted with these prairie people more than once while he was in the restaurant.

When the people of the prairie described wolves, there was only one word to describe them... ruthlessness and greed.

Wolves were vicious, not only against their prey, but also against themselves.

Greed, on the other hand, was a character that caused one"s heart to palpitate even more.

The coyotes often attacked the herds of sheep and horses of the prairie men at times when they could not catch enough prey. An Zeng had once heard a herdsman say that when a wolf bites his prey, no power of any kind could make him open his mouth, and that was ruthlessness and greed.

When the herdsman spoke of these things, he still felt a lingering fear.

He said that once the wolves had attacked the horses of their tribe, and because their people had a natural fear of wolves, they would not take the initiative to hunt them, but when their horses were threatened, they would also show their machetes.

The herdsman once killed a female wolf with his own hands. At that time, the female wolf bit a horse in the stomach and the horse madly galloped away in pain.

The herdsmen chased after him, cutting the she-wolf in half from the waist, while the front half of the she-wolf still hung from the horse"s belly and ran far away.

The horse fell to the ground after losing too much blood. The female wolf that was about to die used its last bit of strength to tear off a piece of the horse"s flesh and swallowed it with incomparable satisfaction.

This was a wolf, a vicious and greedy species.

An Zhe felt that the eyes on his back were the same as the eyes of the coyote mentioned by the herdsmen.

Can"t turn back?

Andersen smiled, then stopped and turned.

He saw a man he knew, a man he"d beaten not so long ago.

Ding Shengxia

Ding Shengxia"s face had a very obvious scar. It looked like an ugly centipede was lying on his face.

This made the originally elegant young master turn ugly.

Of course, with Ding Shengxia"s family background, no matter how ugly he was, he wouldn"t be unable to marry a wife. But he should also be clear that the girl under him absolutely didn"t want to see his face.

In fact, the biggest part of Ding Shengxia"s hatred towards An Ying was due to the scar on her face.

When he saw An Zeng turn around, he smiled. ""What, an accident?""

An Zeng didn"t say anything, only calmly looked at that person.

Ding Shengxia raised his hand and gently stroked the scar on his face. ""Are you looking at this scar?""

""This is your gift. You must feel good to leave such a scar on my face, right?""

An Zeng shook his head, ""I don"t feel good. I forgot whether I hit your face or not.""

""Forgot?!""

Ding Shengxia"s face instantly turned pale. ""You ruined my face and everything. You actually forgot?!""

""You actually forgot?!""

An Zhan shrugged his shoulders. ""Hitting someone isn"t a pleasant thing to do, even if you win.""

I don"t usually take the initiative to hit anyone unless I have to.

I"m not stronger than anyone by beating them up.

""I can"t be compared to anyone, and it"s not like I can defeat anyone, even if it means success.""

Ding Shengxia grinned, ""What do you mean by saying all this to me now?""

""Are you trying to tell me that you don"t think much of me?""

""Although I don"t know what you"re trying to express, you"re right,"" An Zaixin said.

The viciousness in Ding Shengxia"s eyes became clearer. At this moment, she was certain that she was no longer seeing a person but a wolf.

Ding Shengxia thought that the war for peace had destroyed everything he had. In fact, it was all about self-respect.

The pride in Ding Shengxia"s eyes was exactly the same as the food in the b.i.t.c.h"s eyes. No one could take it away from her.

Ding Shengxia looked at An Zeng and said word by word, ""I will also cut a scar on your face, deeper and longer.""

""Now?""

Ding Shengxia shook her head. ""No, I will humiliate you in front of everyone.""

Not long after, the Martial Arts Academy would hold an internal compet.i.tion to partic.i.p.ate in the Autumn Festival. For the sake of fairness, even new students could enroll to partic.i.p.ate.

""I hope you won"t run away. I want to defeat you in front of everyone in the academy"s selection.""

""If you put it this way, I don"t even want to partic.i.p.ate in the selection anymore.""

Ding Shengxia sneered, ""Are you afraid?""

An Xuan said, ""I don"t want to step on dog s.h.i.t a second time. I also want to buy a new pair of shoes.""

Ding Shengxia suddenly clenched her fist tightly, the veins on the back of her hand were exposed.

Ding Shengxia took a deep breath and said, ""Do not be too arrogant.""

Don"t think that if Chen likes you, you can do whatever you want.

""The Martial Arts Academy is not your Martial Arts Academy, and the Military Department is not your Military Department.""

""Of course it"s not mine, but thankfully it"s not yours.""

Ding Shengxia turned around and left. ""Don"t make me look down on you. I"ll wait for you in the selection.""

As he stared at Ding Shengxia"s back, he suddenly felt that life was even more interesting.

When he returned outside the sect, An Zhe saw a group of people clamoring outside the sect. The big men inside the sect were fighting in a line, blocking the group of people outside the sect.

When An Zeng walked over, that group of people madly pounced on him as if they were mice that had seen food.

""Sect Master An, you must help us!""

An elderly woman tremblingly walked up to An Xuan, grabbed his clothes and said, ""People from your sect are bullying people, do you care?""

""What"s going on?""

""This old lady is a pengci woman,"" said Du in a thin voice as he pushed his way through the crowd. ""Our sect"s shopping cart pa.s.ses by on the street, and she suddenly lies down in front of it and says our people have b.u.mped into her.""

I asked the driver, Kim San-jai, and he swore he didn"t run into anyone.

Then they all came around and forced us to pay.

""You said that we won"t take out a single copper coin for things that aren"t unreasonable.""

Skinny Du looked at the few constables standing in the distance and said, ""The people from Fang Gu Manor have arrived. They probably want us to compensate them for the matter.""

This kind of old man could not live for many years by relying on himself, so he had no scruples.

If they started a ruckus, the Fang family would not be willing to deal with them.

""It was said that she had cheated a horse carriage belonging to a horse carriage company a few days ago. Initially, the people in the horse carriage were unwilling to pay for it, and even those who drove the horse carriage had some background.""

""But these people are obviously prepared. They know how to make a big deal of it.

A group of people split up into groups. One of them fell to the ground and pretended to have been b.u.mped into. A group of people surrounded the carriage, unable to get on.

The rest of the group split up and ran out, spreading the news on the streets, leading others to mislead and attract the attention of the onlookers.

""When the situation gets serious, the government can"t rush to deal with it.""

An Zhan nodded slightly, ""Call the Golden Three Token over.""

Skinny Du turned around and waved his hand. Then, Jin San Zhen walked over from behind the crowd with his head lowered.

The people who were pretending to be angry punched him. His clothes were torn, but Jin San did not resist.

An Zhan stretched out his hand and arranged his clothes neatly for the Golden Three Token. He smiled and said, ""Give me a sentence, have you b.u.mped into anyone?""

Jin San raised his head and tears welled up in the eyes of this muscular man. ""No!""

""I"m a martial artist, and my eyes and hands are fast. I stopped when the carriage was at least two meters away from her.""

An Chou patted him on the shoulder. ""That"s enough, I believe you.""

An Zhan snapped his fingers and asked in a loud voice, ""When Jin San Feng was beaten up by them just now, did you guys fight back?""

The big men in charge of maintaining order to prevent those people from rushing into the sect shook their heads, ""No, the sect leader said that you are not allowed to bully the commoners.""

""That"s right, I said not to bully the common people, but I also said, no one can bully my people.""

Have you been here since it happened?

""Did you all see how a few of you beat the Golden Three before this?""

One of the big men said in a loud voice, ""Sovereign, we have seen clearly who has made their move.""

An Zhan nodded, ""Find them out, don"t let any of them get away.""

A group of large men rushed out of the sect as if they had received an imperial edict. Following the instructions given, they pulled out all the people who had beaten up the Gold Three Token one by one.

The men blew up their nests and began to throw their weight around.

The old lady lowered her head to the ground. ""Aiya, there"s no justice in this. The people of the Heavenly Enlightenment Sect are bullying us. We didn"t even lose money when we b.u.mped into them, and they still want to beat us.""

A few of the women also followed suit and rolled around on the ground, ""A bunch of hooligans actually dared to behave atrociously in the capital, do they even have kingly laws?""

They were making a ruckus, and the few constables standing nearby were just watching, not caring in the slightest.

The Fang family didn"t have a good impression of the people from the Heavenly Enlightenment Sect, because once An Zaihai entered the city, the first thing he did was cripple their constable.

However, regardless of how noisy those people were, the men who were ordered to fight were like tigers and wolves, pulling over ten of the men who had beaten people out of the crowd.

The men of the Heavenly Enlightenment Sect knelt on the street according to these people. The crowd of people cursed at them maliciously while the women rushed forward to fight. There were even some who began to pull on their clothes.

An Zhan frowned. ""Regardless of whether it"s a man or a woman, we"ll still hold down those who make a move.""

Another group of men rushed forward, and the noisy women pressed their hands on the ground.

""He"s ten years older than me,"" he said, ""and I call him Big Brother.""

When he was in Fringe City, no matter how short of money he was, he never harmed the common people.

With a blade in hand, he charged into the Poison Wolf"s Village alone and killed thirteen bandits that bullied men and tyrannized women.

Such a man, you have just hit him, scolded him, insulted him, he did not fight back, did not use violence.

One man can send you all to h.e.l.l if he wants to. ""

An Zhan pointed at himself. ""I said before, the people of the Heavenly Enlightenment Sect are not allowed to bully the common people. That"s because we are all from the common people, and our parents are also poor people.""

""But if my people are bullied, no matter who it is, I want justice back.""

He looked at his subordinates and said, ""When the Golden Three Token was beaten up earlier, you guys didn"t help him. It was because of my order that I punished myself for not helping him for three days.""

And you, each of you, withhold ten days of monthly silver.

Now, these people could be counted on. Every single one of them could break both their legs, and not a single one of them could be missing.

""If these women dare to make a move, we"ll beat them up without any hesitation.""

An Zeng walked to a large willow tree at the side and sat down. He ordered a bottle of wine, took a sip, and then handed it to Jin San. ""I"ve suffered a grievance.""

Jin San wiped his reddened eyes. ""I"m not afraid of being wronged, I"m just afraid of ruining our sect"s reputation.""

An Chou patted him on the shoulder. ""I"ll help you vent your anger.""

A group of men held down the men who were causing trouble and started beating them up. It was the sound of crying for their parents and the sound of bones being broken.
