Gatekeeper Of All Realms Chapter 20

Qian Rushan carefully sized up the parents in front of him.

Strange.

Shen Shi’an and Zhao Xiaoshang seemed unaware of what had just happened.

The police station incident…

Did Shen Ye not tell them?

With this thought, Qian Rushan tentatively asked:

“Shen Ye took a mock test at school today. Did he tell you his scores?”

“He didn’t tell me,” Zhao Xiaoshang said.

Qian Rushan looked at Shen Shi’an, then at Zhao Xiaoshang, and saw them looking calm and composed.

He then looked at Shen Ye.

Shen Ye lowered his head to drink tea, subtly giving him a look.

Understood.

Shen Shi’an and Zhao Xiaoshang were still unaware of what happened today, thinking he had been at school all along.

— Shen Ye didn’t want to say anything.

Qian Rushan’s eyes darted around, and he immediately said:

“Our Human Martial Arts Group has many facilities, dedicated tutors, and fully equipped lounges. How about Shen Ye stays with me starting today?”

“— After all, he’s already a part of the group, and we’ll do our best to help him achieve good results.”

Shen Shi’an looked at Shen Ye.

Shen Ye naturally nodded in cooperation: “I’ve seen it. The facilities and environment are indeed top-notch. I’d like to prepare for my exams there.”

Well done, Old Qian!

I really need a safe environment!

Shen Shi’an pondered, “We’ll go take a look too. If it’s really good, then you can prepare for your exams at the Human Martial Arts Group.”

“Wait a moment, I haven’t finished reading the contract,” Zhao Xiaoshang said.

“No problem, please take your time,” Qian Rushan said.

Half an hour later.

Zhao Xiaoshang finished reading the contract and solemnly signed her name as guardian.

The contract was done.

“Gentlemen, please follow me!” Qian Rushan said.

By then, two cars were already waiting outside.

Shen Shi’an and Zhao Xiaoshang got into one car.

Shen Ye, however, went with Qian Rushan in the other car.

“How’s it going at the police station?”

As soon as they got into the car, Shen Ye asked.

“A big battle, many died, and one was caught alive,” Qian Rushan said lightly.

Shen Ye looked out the window.

This was half a city away from the police station.

People on the streets outside strolled leisurely, hawkers sold snacks and umbrellas, and various clothing stores were open.

Everything seemed incredibly normal.

Who would have thought that a battle had broken out half a city away, and many people had died?

Such events are usually kept under wraps.

Ordinary people have no idea what happened, unless—

The situation gets completely out of control.

Once it reaches that point, it will be too late for ordinary people to escape, and they can only rely on luck.

Beep beep beep!

Qian Rushan’s phone rang.

He glanced at it, his face beaming with joy: “All missions completed. I killed that guy and earned 5 military merits.”

Military merits are good things. They can be used as currency to exchange for various items that are unobtainable on the market, such as cultivation techniques, materials, information, and weapons.

“Do I have any?” Shen Ye asked.

“Although you reported the entire incident, you don’t even have a profession, so you probably won’t get military merits,” Qian Rushan said.

“That’s disappointing,” Shen Ye sighed.

Before he finished speaking, his phone also rang.

A screen popped up, quickly displaying lines of small text:

“You made a significant contribution to this battle.”

“For minors, the government has more reasonable reward methods.”

“Your express delivery has been shipped. Please collect it in the lobby on the first floor of the local Human Martial Arts Building in the near future.”

“—World United Government Military Merit and Rank Management Department.”

What could it be?

Shen Ye was genuinely curious and couldn’t help but ask Qian Rushan.

Qian Rushan laughed:

“Junior high students only improve their physical fitness, comprehend spiritual power, and learn cultural and scientific knowledge. Only in high school do they learn true professional moves.”

“So I guess it’s a good cultivation technique.”

“I really lack offensive means,” Shen Ye lamented.

Time passed quickly.

After Shen Ye’s family arrived at the Human Martial Arts Group Building, they received a warm welcome.

Qian Rushan personally led them to visit various training and cultivation facilities, the armory, and held face-to-face conversations with various professional training instructors.

Then they went to see Shen Ye’s dormitory.

—His living space alone was over a hundred square meters, fully equipped with all kinds of furniture and appliances.

Shen Shi’an and Zhao Xiaoshang finally left with peace of mind.

Shen Ye stood at the entrance of the building, waving goodbye to his parents, watching them get into a group car and being driven away.

“Are you going to tell them nothing?” Qian Rushan asked.

“No need to make them worry,” Shen Ye said.

The two returned to the building and entered the elevator.

“Manager Qian, someone wants to kill me,” Shen Ye said.

“Who?” Qian Rushan waited for his answer.

“—I’m quite confused. I didn’t know my head was so popular; they’ve already tried to kill me several times,” Shen Ye said.

“I’ll investigate immediately. You should stay inside if possible,” Qian Rushan pondered.

The elevator ascended all the way to the 135th floor, piercing through the clouds, reaching the top floor.

It was dusk, but the sky was still a brilliant blue.

Qian Rushan personally handled all the formalities for Shen Ye, then they had dinner together before Qian Rushan bid him farewell.

“I’ll go look into the situation and handle some official business. I won’t be accompanying you for now. Contact me anytime if you need anything.”

He said.

Shen Ye immediately replied:

“Thank you very much, Manager Qian, for all your hard work today and for helping me so much. Our family will pick you up later; I’ll have my dad drink with you.”

Qian Rushan’s smile became much more vivid, and he said:

“From now on, you’re a member of the group. This month’s subsidy has been transferred to your personal account; you can spend it as you wish.”

“I’ll have someone take you to your room.”

“You can move around freely, but I suggest you get some good rest, after all, it’s been quite a long day, and your mind needs to relax.”

“Okay, thank you, Manager Qian,” Shen Ye said.

Qian Rushan gestured, and several capable men and women immediately approached, following him toward the helipad outside the top floor.

A roar.

The aircraft left the building.

As soon as Qian Rushan got on the plane, he started working, quickly reviewing dozens of documents and holding a small meeting.

After the meeting, he was reading a document when his female assistant quietly approached and whispered a few words.

Qian Rushan said without lifting his head:

“I don’t want to see anything that damages the group’s image.”

“Understood, sir.”

The female assistant nodded and gracefully left.

“Also, investigate Shen Ye’s social connections to see who he’s had a grudge with.”

“Yes,” another assistant turned and left.

Meanwhile.

Hospital.

Outside the ward.

Zhao Yibing rapidly scrolled through her phone, browsing the videos she had previously posted online.

“Malicious bullying, ruining a classmate’s future!”

“The top student, due to missing an exam, became mentally twisted, retaliating against society and harming classmates!”

“The police have intervened, and this matter must be addressed!”

Excellent.

The issue’s popularity had risen.

Sun Ming was crying on video, and the miserable state of several other classmates was also posted, attracting much attention and comments.

Generally, at this level, after widespread attention, the person involved would definitely be dealt with.

Thus, by the time she entered a key high school, this sensational and controversial event would still revolve around her, discussed by her new classmates.

Shen Ye was harassing her, beating the boys who pursued her.

She had sought justice online.

That was enough.

Zhao Yibing thought for a moment, then swiftly typed a message:

“I have completed what you asked for, and more.”

Click send.

Next, she only needed to wait for the harvest.

“Bingbing!”

Sun Ming’s sobbing voice came from the ward.

A flicker of disgust crossed Zhao Yibing’s eyes as she turned and walked towards the stairs.

Only after she went downstairs and walked out of the hospital entrance did she pick up her phone and call Sun Ming.

“Bingbing,” Sun Ming’s voice came through the receiver.

“Don’t worry, Sun Ming, I’ve posted it online. The police will definitely bring him to justice.”

Zhao Yibing said softly.

“But my leg is broken, and I can’t take the next exam,” Sun Ming said in despair.

“You still have me. When I get into a key high school, I’ll take care of you,” Zhao Yibing said.

“Really? Are you saying—” Sun Ming’s hopes soared unrealistically.

“Of course, we’re best friends,” Zhao Yibing tried to make him sober up.

“Bingbing…”

“I can’t talk to you now, someone’s looking for me. I’ll get back to you later.”

“Then—”

The call ended.

Zhao Yibing quickly blocked Sun Ming and the other boys, about to delete them completely—

Ring ring ring!

The phone rang again.

An unknown number.

Zhao Yibing thought for a moment and pressed the answer button.

“Hello, who is this?”

“A reporter?”

“Yes, I’m speaking up for them; we must not let Shen Ye bully his classmates.”

“Accept an online interview? Hmm… no problem.”

“Okay, I’ll contact you later.”

What a headache.

She couldn’t delete Sun Ming for now.

With the current popularity, he was still useful.

Zhao Yibing quickly unblocked the few people from her blacklist.

She’d leave them for a few more days, then delete them after the high school entrance exams.

In this whole matter, the only thing she hadn’t expected was Shen Ye being able to fight several of them alone.

It seemed he still had some skill.

—But what good was it?

If he couldn’t get into high school, he wouldn’t learn any techniques, wouldn’t have weapons or armor, and wouldn’t get elixirs or evolutionary liquids.

He wouldn’t even receive any inheritances.

By then, he wouldn’t even be able to block a single move from her.

Moreover—

He had already lost the opportunity to take on a higher-level profession.

In the future, he would be like Sun Ming and the others, an ordinary person, separated from her by an insurmountable chasm.

They were ultimately people from two different worlds.

Her phone suddenly rang several times in a row.

Was it for the online interview?

Zhao Yibing briefly tidied her makeup before picking up her phone.

However, she saw several system messages on the screen:

“Your published content has been determined to be false information and has been completely blocked.”

“The police have issued a public announcement regarding the related matters.”

“The high school mentioned in your post has also issued a related announcement. Please pay attention.”

“Furthermore, please cease spreading rumors and causing trouble, otherwise the platform and the Human Martial Arts Group reserve the right to hold you accountable.”
