Chapter Eighteen: The Thief of Heaven's Gate

  At the end of the alley, Shen Qingyang slowed down his pace. According to his calculation, there was still one minute left. After passing through the alley, it would be the place where he drank with Lao Tui. He wanted to see if the old man was there or not. People who have been fooled always have a sense of caution, especially Shen Qingyang, whose vigilance was even stronger!

  "Haha! You're quite punctual!"

  Shen Qingyang gritted his teeth, how did the old man appear like a ghost? There was no warning, nor did he find anyone following him, where did he pop out from?

  "Uncle!" Shen Qingyang didn't turn his head back, although he knew the old man was right behind him.

  "Hmm! The blood on this wall is very fresh, guess who left it and when?"

  "Not interested!" Shen Qingyang turned around, just to see a thin figure standing under the stone wall, using his hand to touch the blood on the wall and then put it in his mouth for a taste! Shen Qingyang had killed countless people, but he had never tasted the blood of an enemy before. A wave of nausea rushed straight to his gut!

  Damn! Is this guy so bloodthirsty?!

  "Haha!" Old Man Yu seemed to have discovered some change in Shen Qingyang's appearance, and his turbid old eyes sparkled with surprise: "Tsk tsk! Who would have thought that you were the chubby chef of Yi Shui Zhai? So handsome and elegant, like a jade tree swaying in the wind, a dashing young master..."

  It's not an exaggeration to describe Shen Qingyang at this moment with the phrase "people see people love, flowers see flowers bloom"! His handsome face exudes a hint of spirituality, his skin is not particularly tender but still fair and clean, only the sharp eyes reveal an intimidating killing intent that shocks the soul.

  Killing aura, not everyone has it! Not all murderers have killing aura, most of them have a fierce aura, a gloomy aura, and a funeral aura! Aura can capture the soul and take away the spirit, that is to kill!

  "Your nonsense is too much!" Shen Qingyang pinched the "Chinese collar", his hands inserted in the casual pants pocket, without a hint of the killer's image. It was what the old man said, he looked like a refined and elegant young master, coming to this small alley to appreciate the ancient moonlight, only lacking a beauty by his side!

  "Hmph, if you didn't waste words, I'd have been done for long ago! Anyway, let's get to the point. I'll tell you the real Zhonghai Sanzhen, and all the truths you want to know!" Although Lao Bai spoke softly, it was clear he wasn't joking.

  Shen Qingyang let out a "pfft" of laughter: "You think I enjoy knowing all this? I just want to find that cripple, take back what belongs to me, and that's it! Even when I was at Yi Shui Zhai for half a day, my purpose was the same!"

  "Young man, don't speak too absolutely. If this were the Bamboo Forest, would you still talk like that?" The old man, hunching his back and clearing his throat, said: "This is not a place for talking, follow me!"

  Hehe! Shen Qingyang cursed again in her heart, this isn't a place for conversation, why did you ask me to meet here? Can't we just talk clearly inside "Yi Shui Zhai"? And there's also an extremely beautiful woman serving us!

  Xiang Gui Xiang, Shen Qingyang still followed behind Dumb Old Man at a slow pace. He didn't know why, but as soon as he saw the old man, his urge to strangle him suddenly disappeared. Cold-blooded mercenary, it's not that their blood is cold, especially Shen Qingyang, who has too much passion!

  "Where are you going?"

  "A place for drinking!" The old man's speed under his feet was not slow, and he walked while smiling slyly: "How was the feeling just now?"

  "Not so good!" Shen Qingyang knew he was asking about the pursuit of that assassin. It really wasn't going well, didn't catch up, and didn't even know his opponent's name, only saw clearly his eyes, with a scar on the left eyebrow!

  "Your kung fu is the best I've ever seen, not inferior to anyone under Tian Di's command!"

  Is this important? I have nothing to do with any of them! Shen Qingyang sneered: "What kind of power is the Bai family? What's their relationship with the Tianmou Alliance?"

  "What's the Bai family? I don't understand!" Dumb Yu glanced at Shen Qingyang: "The Sky Stealing Alliance is a legend, everyone on Third Street knows it, from three-year-old kids to centenarian old men!"

  Damn it! Shen Qingyang knew that old man was playing tricks on him again, but this time he absolutely couldn't let him get away with it!

  "Miss Bai came to Yishui Studio this afternoon, and she was sent by Old Master to see me. She gave me a gold card... Oh, I forgot to tell you, Banji has been found, he's injured!" Shen Qingyang followed behind Dumb Old Man at a leisurely pace, taking in the scenery as they walked.

  Tonight's moonlight is very bright, the autumn air is crisp and refreshing, and the night scene is beautiful. If you want to appreciate the moonlight, the ancient old city is a great choice, the so-called "Qin time bright moon Han time pass" scenery is extremely nostalgic, in this broken and worn-out alley, there is a sense of romance, it's best to walk alone, with a literary person's small sentiment, perhaps can give birth to "lowering one's head thinking of hometown".

  Shen Qingyang really did miss home a bit. The mercenary camp was "home", but unfortunately it's now empty, and he found himself drifting in this unfamiliar city, trapped in this inexplicable chaos.

  Yu Bo's eyes paused, everything was expected, but unexpectedly killed a white lady, this really didn't think of!

  "Do you know the later Napoléon?"

  "Later generations?" Yu Bo shook his head.

  "It was the one who drove Lin Tao and his men away!"

  "Oh! Two jinxed stars... I really don't understand them, just heard some rumors, no concrete information!"

  "What's that supposed to mean?" Shen Qingyang narrowed his eyes and asked with a fake smile: "Don't tell me you don't even know about the Bai family in Zhonghai?"

  "No, little brother, I'm telling you the truth, no lies! All I know is that there are legends about a heavenly place beyond the Mediterranean Sea!"

  "What's Tianwai Tian?" Shen Qingyang immediately became alert, Ahu and Bangji said exactly the same thing - Tianwai Tian!

  "The Mediterranean looks big, but in the eyes of a noble family, it's nothing! Beyond the three days, there is a heavenly sky; beyond the four lands, there is the palace of the King of Hell; and beyond the five dragons, there are immortals!"

  "What a mess!!! Shen Qingyang's face changed: "You're saying there are even more powerful big shots than San Tian Si Di?"

  This is nothing unusual. In the Mediterranean, "three days and four lands" are just nouveau riche, they have money, but the likes of Tianwai Tian and other aristocratic families are probably not just about having money!

  There are many incredible families in the world, such as the Rothschild family who control the world's wealth, and have launched many famous coups and wars, such as the famous American Civil War.

  What they have is not just money, the central bank of modern America and the Federal Reserve, everyone may think that it's the national treasure of M country, wrong! It's private. Knowing this can help understand how the Asian financial storm, international financial crisis came about, as well as the Hong Kong financial crisis, all are results of private interest groups counter-attacking the people of the world.

  "This basic existence has been circulating in the streets, no one knows where Tianwai Tian is, and no one knows where Yanwang Temple is! However, I still have some information about the white lady who scared away Director Lin..." Dumb Old Man said with a sly smile.

  Shen Qingyang nodded, feeling even more incredulous! Miss Bai said that their family's old master knew him personally and the gift he gave was too heavy. It might not be anything to them, but to Shen Qingyang, a cold-blooded mercenary, this money was simply astronomical!

  "Never mind that for now!" Shen Qingyang calmed himself down, feeling that the "White Gold Card" in his arms had become a heart disease. No work no gain, the White family sent out a "Ge Ge" level figure to contact him, there must be a reason.

  "Little brother, we have three things to do. First, go to the Emperor Hotel to confirm the identities of those three killers. Second, go to Blackstone Town to meet with Xing Tian Ge's security guard. Third, go to Kempinski to apply for a Sichuan chef!"

  "Do you believe in the information from Tianditong?"

  "Hmm! That's right, this information isn't baseless, but things are a bit tricky..."

  "Why don't you find someone from Tian Tian Meng?"

  "Cough cough! This is tonight's matter, I'm talking about tomorrow's action..."

  Damn! How dare you? Shen Qingyang found that this old guy was a bit crazy, sometimes confused and sometimes clear-headed, and could even pretend to have a stroke, it's really freaking weird!

  "I said, the Tian Alliance disappeared in that incident ten years ago!" Dumbel glanced at Shen Qingyang, who was as elegant as a jade tree in the wind, and his eyes suddenly had a comforting light, which flashed by.

  "They've already escaped, don't forget the cripple from last night!" Shen Qingyang stared at Yaobo, trying to find any information about the cripple on his body. However, after looking for half a day, he couldn't find any similarities in terms of physique, appearance or voice. The cripple's voice was very muffled, and his appearance was extremely ugly and filthy.

  Shen Qingyang was quite proud of himself, able to drink with such a person in the middle of the night and have a great time, but ended up losing his composure and causing so much trouble!

  Half a minute later, the two of them arrived on Main Street. Ah-yee beckoned with one hand and a red taxi happened to pull over.

  "Let's take a bus to somewhere!"

  Shen Qingyang narrowed his eyes, trying to see through the old man's intentions.

  "How far?"

  "Are you scared?"

  Grass! What's wrong with the law? Shen Qingyang pinched "Chinese standing collar": "I'm worried that Xiner is afraid at home, I want to protect him!"

  As soon as he thought of that beautiful woman, Shen Qingyang's heart couldn't help but flutter. This was the truth, even if there were some nonsense words from Bai Xi, Benji had also said to let him be at ease, but Shen Qingyang still wasn't at ease. One was a weak and delicate "princess" type of person, could saying one sentence that didn't make sense ensure Xiang'er's safety? Benji had also suffered serious injuries, what could he use to protect his "sworn sister"?

  Moreover, that Banji is not a decent person either. The situation is clear: he's the one "Miss Bai" guaranteed would keep Xin'er safe! But he was also introduced to Chun'ge by Yaobo, which means Yaobo, Banji and Miss Bai are all in cahoots!

  Shen Qingyang suddenly clarified this relationship, and calmly swept a glance at Yu Bo, only to find that he was already sitting in the taxi.

  "Tell me what Bengie's position is! Otherwise I won't go with you!"

  Yu Bo's eyes seemed a bit unusual, as if he was moved by Shen Qingyang's words just now. Whether what he said was true or false, having this thought is already enough, and it also shows that this young man is not just a killer!

  "He is the gatekeeper!"

  Shen Qingyang nodded, got into the taxi, lit a cigarette and took a puff, looking at the streets on both sides. This was not the center of Zhonghai, but there were still neon lights at night, and a kind of inexplicable melancholy immediately rose to his heart: in the vast sea of people, where could he find that person?
