Gatekeeper Of All Realms Chapter 65

The interview with Xiao Mengyu was indeed remarkable.

No matter what the female reporter asked, she knew what the other party wanted, quickly opened up the topic, hit the nail on the head, and said some brilliant points.

Shen Ye watched bored, wanting something to eat, when he turned his head, he found Old Qian staring at him.

—How boring, let the exam start soon.

The entire private room suddenly shook.

A figure crashed through the wall, passed through the room, then crashed through the back wall, and flew out.

“Be careful!”

Qian Rushan reached out to grab Shen Ye, but Shen Ye held a reporter in each arm, flashed out, and stood outside the private room.

The private room collapsed with a roar.

Qian Rushan landed lightly beside Shen Ye, looking at the heavy afterimages scattered around him, and said in surprise:

“Good footwork, have you improved recently?”

With his keen eye, as soon as he saw Shen Ye’s footwork, he immediately estimated that the exam would be a sure thing this time, and his mood improved greatly.

Such footwork…

He looked at Xiao Mengyu, who seemed to know what he was thinking, and nodded slightly.

It was indeed Xiao Mengyu who taught him!

“Good eye, you truly are my patron.” Shen Ye put down the two startled reporters and gave him a thumbs up.

“You’re a prodigy?” Qian Rushan grinned.

“A patron is common, a prodigy is not. You should cherish me,” Shen Ye said.

Several banquet staff members rushed over to explain.

—Two newcomers from aristocratic families were sparring at the banquet and accidentally crashed, collapsing the private room.

Their sparring naturally also stopped.

They came with their elders, who brought them to personally apologize to Qian Rushan.

Since they showed such respect, Qian Rushan naturally couldn’t say much more.

Qian Rushan sighed in his heart and turned to glance at Shen Ye.

—The aristocratic families will stop at nothing; you’ve experienced it now.

Shen Ye returned his gaze.

—Even the private room can be smashed, there’s no way to hide, so should I really fight?

“Protect yourself, I’ll be watching nearby,” Qian Rushan whispered.

“Okay,” Shen Ye said.

“No need to fight,” Xiao Mengyu suddenly said.

“Why?” Qian Rushan asked.

“I’m in a fight with him; others can’t interfere.” Xiao Mengyu pulled out a playing card and waved it in front of Qian Rushan.

Qian Rushan was stunned for a moment, then couldn’t help but exclaim.

Xiao Mengyu’s reputation in swordsmanship was well known.

Ordinary aristocratic young masters would not dare to spar with her.

After all, a broken arm or leg would take a long time to heal and move freely again.

If they accidentally lost their head…

It would be over.

—This kid Shen Ye is quite something!

“That’s good. Rest well tonight, and after the final evaluation, perform well in the examination room,” Qian Rushan said.

Shen Ye and Xiao Mengyu both nodded.

The next second.

A pleasant female voice rang out:

“Isn’t this the Shen family’s boy?”

Shen Ye looked in the direction of the voice and saw an elegant lady standing in the center of the banquet hall.

Time had left no trace on her, making her appear to be only in her twenties.

Shen Ye could only guess her identity from her dignified and serious attire.

People around her gathered like stars around the moon—

As she walked towards them.

The entire banquet hall seemed to move with her.

“Ah, let me introduce,” Qian Rushan said reluctantly, “This is a newcomer from our Human World Martial Arts Group. I’ve been training him. His name is Shen Ye.”

“I know him,” the noblewoman nodded.

Qian Rushan continued, “This is Madam An from the Song family of Jiangnan, she—”

“You don’t need to introduce my affairs,” Madam An interrupted Qian Rushan, smiling, “Shen Ye, your eldest uncle told me something not long ago. I wonder if you still remember it.”

“What is it?” Shen Ye asked.

“He said that when you were little, you particularly liked keeping dogs and often trained those fierce dogs to bite people. Once, when we visited the Shen family, you even let the dogs out to play.”

Madam An said, as if chatting idly.

Shen Ye thought back briefly.

When he was little…

He seemed to have protected the two girls from the Song family from vicious dogs.

Now it’s become him training vicious dogs to bite people?

But in this situation, the other party was a highly respected person, and what she said was casual talk between elders.

If he rushed to defend himself, who would believe him?

—This was publicly questioning his character.

Actually, he didn’t want to cause trouble.

—He couldn’t let down Qian Rushan’s arrangement, nor could he let down Xiao Mengyu’s good intentions.

But—

I’ve been hiding in the private room, and you still want to drag me out.

“It was too long ago, I don’t remember it, but we can’t afford to raise dogs,” Shen Ye said.

A young man behind Madam An couldn’t help but sneer:

“Who are you kidding? Your Shen family can’t afford to raise dogs?”

Madam An also looked at him meaningfully.

“Our family is very poor. Not long ago, I got sick, and my father went to beg my eldest uncle for a髓髓丹 (bone marrow nourishing pill), but he didn’t get it and was thrown out,” Shen Ye said honestly.

The two reporters standing on the side almost had their eyes shining, and their equipment kept running.

Madam An’s lips curved slightly, and she stared at this honest child, unable to help but chuckle:

“You were sick? Why didn’t you tell me? My Song family may not have much else, but we can afford a bone marrow nourishing pill.”

“Ah? You didn’t even know I was almost dead from illness? It seems you don’t know much about me.” Shen Ye also laughed.

This flaw was so well caught that even Qian Rushan couldn’t help but inwardly applaud.

—You don’t even know this, how dare you casually talk about things from over a decade ago and assert that I raised fierce dogs?

Madam An put away her smile, composed herself, and slowly said, “So you left the Shen family and want to enter high school on your own?”

“That’s right, I’ve already signed with the Human World Martial Arts Group,” Shen Ye said, nodding with a smile.

“I still have an admission slot. How about I give it to you directly, and you won’t have to take the exam?” Madam An said gently.

“That would be great, thank you for your kindness,” Shen Ye said joyfully.

“Our Song family can also cover all your expenses during high school.”

“Wow, you really are a living Bodhisattva,” Shen Ye applauded.

“However, there’s one condition,” Madam An said.

“Please tell me,” Shen Ye said.

“No matter what you become in the future, in short, you must stay away from Qingyun. She belongs to a different world than you. Let some things remain in childhood; don’t harbor unrealistic fantasies,” Madam An said, her voice like a spring breeze.

As soon as the name “Qingyun” came out, the entire banquet hall suddenly fell silent.

People listened to Madam An’s words, awaiting a result.

The next second.

Shen Ye’s face showed a look of surprise, his expression as excited as if he had won five million.

“Stay far away from Qingyun? Okay, no problem at all! As long as you give me that direct admission spot, I have absolutely no problem!”

There was a burst of whispers.

Many people looked at Shen Ye with disdain.

—So this kid is like that.

No wonder.

With his status, how could he dare to defy the Song family’s wishes?

“Then it’s settled.”

Madam An nodded with satisfaction.

Shen Ye paused, the excitement on his face slowly fading, and he said with a gentle smile:

“However, I have a small question.”

“Go ahead,” Madam An said.

“Who is Qingyun?” Shen Ye asked seriously.

All the discussions stopped.

People stared at Shen Ye with complex expressions.

Shen Ye looked bewildered, glancing around, finally his gaze landed on Madam An’s face.

“Madam An, you are graceful and admirable, kind and benevolent. Anyone you don’t want me to approach must be a problematic person.”

“How about this.”

“You give me a full name and a photo, and when I see this person in the future, I will definitely stay far away from them.”

He said with a smile.

A young man from an aristocratic family couldn’t help but exclaim, “You don’t know Song Qingyun?”

“No, I don’t,” Shen Ye said.

“No, you met when you were four or five,” another young man said.

“Do you remember things from when you were four or five? Tsk tsk, you have a really good memory, I don’t remember,” Shen Ye said, spreading his hands with a chuckle.

Silence.

People fell silent.

Even Qian Rushan became silent.

Seriously speaking, what happened when one was four or five years old might really be forgotten when one grows up.

He—

He didn’t remember.

In that case, it was impossible for him to deliberately raise dogs to bite Song Qingyun.

Nor could he be trying to use this incident to get involved with Song Qingyun.

—He didn’t even remember who the other person was!

And in fact, the two sides hadn’t met for many years.

What could you say about him then?

What could you use to criticize him?

Shen Ye looked around, then suddenly patted his head and said, “Oops, did I say something wrong?”

“Sorry, Madam An, anyway, I don’t know Song Qingyun.”

“So you don’t need to exchange anything for direct admission.”

“—Because I don’t even know him.”

This was a grand banquet for new talents making their debut.

But he said it publicly just like that.

This was the truth.

Even if it was false, from this moment on, it was true.

By saying such things, he could no longer use childhood memories to associate with Song Qingyun in the future.

Therefore—

He hadn’t seen Song Qingyun in a long time, and he wouldn’t see her in the future.

This was the outcome.

The fact that he could say and do this meant either he genuinely forgot, or he simply didn’t care.

It was ironic that everyone was still calculating and making arrangements, causing such a big commotion.

Even Madam An came personally.

However, this young man didn’t want this connection.

He also didn’t want the direct admission.

He wanted nothing.

He didn’t care.

—He forgot.

The person has no desires, no thoughts whatsoever, so what reason do you have to attack them?

In the quiet.

Madam An looked steadily at Shen Ye and took the initiative to say, “You really don’t remember Song Qingyun? She is the eldest daughter of the Song family, and I am her paternal aunt.”

“Your niece? No, I don’t know you, and I don’t know her,” Shen Ye shook his head repeatedly.

“Alright, so you don’t want the direct admission anymore either?” Madam An asked.

“No longer interested—but there’s one thing, Madam An, you’re a highly respected and influential figure. Could you possibly help with something?”

Without waiting for the other party to speak, he said:

“Not long ago, I was severely ill and almost died. After I recovered, a police chief named Luo said he wanted to protect me.”

“But he died.”

“My best friend also died.”

“I don’t know why, but many people around me have died.”

“Do you know why?”

“A prominent figure like you must be much better at investigating things than a middle school student like me. You must know something.”

“Can you bring justice for them?”
