Chapter 29 Are you the Thief of the Gate?

  Several big shots looked at each other in dismay, although they were not very pleased with Tian Kai's words, but they couldn't refute the facts he mentioned.

  At this time, a voice suddenly came "You are quibbling, now that you have occupied the Black Dragon's territory, don't try to take advantage of it here!"

  Everyone looked over, and it turned out to be the Thief Sage. This Thief Sage was the leader of the Divine Thieves' Guild, who had been a thief since childhood, with excellent lightness skills and extraordinary talent, having stolen several precious items without ever failing.

  Liu Yi also looked in the direction of the thief saint, and when he took a look, he unexpectedly saw Jiang Mu Yu. This made Liu Yi tongue-tied, thinking that this girl would appear here.

  Jiang Muran, as the third generation of outstanding disciples of the Divine Thief Gate, was indeed highly valued by the Thieving Saint. It should be a matter of course for her to appear here, but Liu Yi didn't know her true identity and thought she was just an ordinary little thief.

  Jiang Muran also saw Liu Yi at this time, and his heart was equally shocked. He didn't expect that this young man would be on Tian Kai's side. Fortunately, he had returned the phone to them on the train, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable.

  Liu Yi's sharp eyes stared at Jiang Mu Yu, making Jiang Mu Yu feel a bit uncomfortable in her heart. She turned her head to look elsewhere and stopped looking at Liu Yi.

  Some small gangs were also invited to attend the gathering, but due to their relatively weak strength, they didn't dare speak up, fearing that they would offend the big gangs, so they all kept silent and watched from afar.

  So this gathering became an exchange meeting for the eight major factions, but to be precise, since Tian Kai wiped out Hei Long, it was actually a condemnation meeting of the six major factions against Tian Kai's Hong Bang.

  The thief opened his mouth and blamed Tian Kai. Others also had the intention of speaking out of turn, and suddenly the voices of condemnation spread.

  Tian Kai, after all, is also an old river and lake, responding to accusations from all sides, responding in an orderly manner.

  After a long time, the various factions finally reached an agreement. For this occupation of the Black Dragon faction, the various factions will no longer make any more noise about it. However, if Tian Kai intends to annex other factions in the future, the other factions will definitely form an alliance and attack him together.

  After they finished talking, the people from each gang also left one after another. At this time, Liu Yi walked to Jiang Mu Yu's side, wanting to figure out the secret of this mysterious girl.

  Jiang Muran saw Liu Yi walking towards her and suddenly felt flustered, "Y-you... what are you going to do?"

  Liu Yi smiled and said calmly, "I just wanted to talk to you."

  Jiang Muran immediately said, "What's there to talk about? I've already returned everything to you, what more do you want?"

  Liu Yi slightly moved the corner of his mouth and asked, "Are you from the Divine Thief Gate?"

  Jiang Muran was taken aback, and immediately replied "What's wrong? I'm from the Divine Thief Sect, aren't you also from the Hong Bang? We're actually fellow travelers, and it's quite a coincidence." Afraid that Liu Yi would cause trouble for himself, Jiang Muran thought of ways to get close to him.

  "Miss, you're wrong about this," said Liu Yi with a smile. "I'm not some member of the Hong Bang."

  Jiang Mu Yu was puzzled and asked, "If you're not from the Hong Bang, then why did you come with them to attend the gathering?"

  "He's just a friend of mine, nothing more," Liu Yi said calmly.

  "Friend? Good heavens, you're actually a friend of Hong Bang's!" Jiang Muran was instantly stunned.

  Seeing Jiang Muran's surprised expression, Liu Yi asked with a smile, "Why can't I be a friend of the leader of the Hong Bang?"

  "Me... you... ah, never mind..." Jiang Muran didn't know what else to say.

  Liu Yi tilted his head and said "I'm quite interested in you, let's find a place to chat."

  Jiang Muran immediately wrapped her arms around her chest and trembled as she said, "Y-you... what are you going to do? Don't get any ideas, I'm a member of the Divine Thief Sect!"

  Liu Yi couldn't help but chuckle and said "What are you thinking? I'm interested in your experiences, not in you as a person."

  Jiang Muran's face was flushed with shame, and she wished she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into. She thought to herself how embarrassing this was, what was she thinking? To eliminate Liu Yi's bad impression of her, Jiang Muran said softly "Sorry, I overthought it, that...I'll treat you to coffee instead."

  Liu Yi shook her hair and said, "Okay, it just so happens that I know a great coffee shop. Let me take you there to try it."

  Jiang Muran was brought by Liu Yi to a coffee shop called Ting Ting, with its red wooden tables, parquet flooring, and classical wallpaper, giving the coffee shop a hint of classic charm, as if it didn't belong in this modern world.

  Liu Yi ordered a latte, while Jiang Mu Yu ordered a cappuccino. Liu Yi took a sip of his coffee and said "It tastes good."

  Jiang Muran also tasted his own cup and praised "Hmm, it's good."

  "Tell me your story, a young girl like you, why would you join the underworld, and specifically an organization that specializes in theft?" Liu Yi asked tentatively.

  "Hey, don't make it sound so bad, okay? Stealing is an art form too. Just like our master thief, his skills have reached the point of perfection. He's my idol and someone I look up to."

  Seeing Jiang Muran's adoring gaze, Liu Yi couldn't help but furrow his brow and ask, "Does your family know about these things?"

  At that moment, Jiang Muran's eyes dimmed and he said with a hint of sadness, "Family... I wish there was someone to take care of me... Alas..."

  Liu Yi suddenly felt that this girl had some unknown sorrow, and asked "Are you an orphan?"

  "Uh, I grew up in an orphanage since I was a kid. From the time I can remember, they told me that my parents abandoned me when I was just born, so I was sent to the orphanage." Jiang Muran said dejectedly.

  Liu Yi felt that he could understand the girl's bitterness, so he asked again "Then how did you end up on the path of theft? And how did you join the Divine Thief Gate?"

  Jiang Muran paused for a moment, then slowly said, "This has to start from when I was 9 years old. At that time, the relief in the orphanage was really scarce, and the things they gave us were not enough to fill our stomachs every day. We were so hungry. One day, I was walking on the street and saw someone selling candied hawthorns. My mouth watered, and I couldn't help but reach out to grab...

  Here is the translation:

  "Speaking of which, Jiang Muran sighed. "Just as my hand was about to reach for the candied hawthorn, the vendor slapped me in the face and scolded me while grabbing my collar... Luckily, he helped me escape, and at the same time, he gave me a string of candied hawthorns. I remember him saying that it was stolen goods, if you want to learn how to steal, follow him, and he guarantees you won't get caught..."

  "Who is he?" Liu Yi couldn't help but ask curiously.

  "He was the Thief Sage, the leader of the Divine Thieves' Guild, but at that time he wasn't so famous yet, nor had he formed the Divine Thieves' Guild. He was just an ordinary thief." Jiang Mourain replied.

  Liu Yi thought for a moment and said, "So, you've been with this Thieves' Guild for 10 years too?"

  "It can be said that way," replied Jiang Muran.

  "That's long enough, no wonder you were so agile when stealing Ouyang Tong's phone, we didn't even notice." Liu Yi sighed.

  Jiang Muran felt a bit embarrassed and said in a low voice, "Don't mention it again, okay? Since I learned thieving skills from the Thief Saint, no one has ever caught me before. I don't know what method you used, but somehow you discovered it."

  Liu Yi smiled and thought that he couldn't tell her about the Jade Dragon Technique, so he changed the subject. "Are you still in school now?"

  Jiang Murong shook his head and said, "Since I followed the Thief Saint, I haven't been to school again. That is to say, I dropped out of primary school in the third grade. Hehe, but later on, when I had free time, I would read books by myself, and now I can write quite a few characters."

  The two of them chatted for a while before parting ways. Liu Yi thought that school would start tomorrow, and Jiang Mu Yu also wanted to go back and rest.
