Repugnant Gateway

Chapter 202

After Gao Yuan left the lake, Mu Changyan let out a long sigh of relief. She waved her hands, indicating for the people around her to leave, leaving only An Chengli and An Zhan behind.

“”These people are going too far.””

Mu Changyan made herself more comfortable as she leaned against the chair, almost curling up into it.

It was as if he was cold, or perhaps he was feeling extremely uneasy.

Perhaps only by leaning more firmly on his back would he be able to feel some comfort in his heart.

“”For peace.””

“”Yes.””

“”Don’t mind them too much. In fact, when placed on the board, they are only testing your bottom line.””

It was as if they had opened a hole in the embankment, and they would think, since the hole has been opened, would it be possible to tear the embankment down completely? “”

“”If you don’t care about your own matters, what does that mean?””

This meant that Gu had completely given in. Even someone like the Gao Family dared to jump on Gu’s head.

They would feel that Gu has already given up. Thus, in the future, they will only be more willing to do whatever they want. “”

An Xuan said, “”This subject didn’t think of that much.””

Mu Changyan smiled and said, “”It’s a good thing that you have a straightforward personality.””

This meant that even though you had entered this large dye vat, you had not been contaminated in the end.

Which of the things you did after entering the capital, wasn’t they rash enough?

“”And what is important to me is your simplicity and directness.””

Mu Changyan looked up at the sky. “”Every man has his own ambition, right?””

When I was young, I chatted with my big brother.

He asked me what my greatest ideal was, and I said to be a man without any trouble.

He smiled and said he hoped you’d be the one you wanted to be.

“”Then I asked him, what is your greatest ideal?

He said … The affairs of the world, the people of the world, all depend on the Da Xi.

Other than the Da Xi, the kings of the other kingdoms only dared to call him “”Gu””, and they could only call him “”Minister””.

“”His wish is to one day let the Great Yan dominate the north. He will face the south and his words will be addressed as’ We ‘.””

An Zhe’s heart stirred. He thought to himself, Mu Changyan’s elder brother, the former crown prince of Great Yan, was so flamboyant. He had great ambition in his heart and didn’t know how to hide it, so the empress dowager couldn’t wait to get rid of him.

If the former crown prince had been more patient before, perhaps he would have been able to completely pull the empress dowager off the stage in the end.

Mu Changyan, on the other hand, had witnessed all of this, which was why he had been so patient in front of the empress dowager.

He had chosen a different path from his big brother, because his big brother had left him enough experience and lessons.

Mu Changyan’s plan was to develop silently and control the power to contend against the empress dowager while holding back.

But from the looks of it, the empress dowager was gradually losing interest in him.

“”Both of you are surnamed An …””

Mu Changyan said with a bitter tone, “”I was thinking about it at first. Perhaps this is Heaven’s will.””

Send the two of you surnamed An to me, and everything will be more stable.

Now that I think about it, this is just a Legacy of Unconfidence.

“”In the future, the only thing I can do is to let you trust me as much as you can and try to lead a better life.””

He looked towards An Zizhi, “”When you chose the Martial Arts Academy, I’m afraid it wasn’t because you wanted to enter the Martial Academy yourself, was it?””

Even so, you still chose to fight for the reputation of the Martial Arts Academy at this time. This was enough to prove that you were a loyal person.

According to the sayings in the martial arts world, it could also be called loyalty.

At the moment, there are too few people like you. “”

“”Go ahead.””

Mu Changyan pointed to the bottom of the tower, “”Today, this is your world.””

He cupped his fist and said, “”This subject will take his leave.””

Mu Changyan said, “”An Chengli, go down and tell the people from the Rites Department that there are no opponents in the battle for the position of champion.””

“”Gu Te allowed him to participate in the Battle of Champions … Nie Qing is too lonely.””

As he walked down from the tower, he felt that every step was so heavy.

At first, he did not have a good impression of Mu Changyan, but he still felt that she was too weak.

From the looks of it, Mu Changyan was carrying too much stuff on her shoulders, which was why he was walking so carefully and cautiously.

Originally, it would have been more difficult for him to climb up the tower, but when he went down to settle down, he felt that his steps were heavier than when he came up.

Previously, Mu Changyan had used an almost decisive attitude to declare her dignity as the King of Swallow, but when a king needed to use such a method to declare his dignity, wasn’t that the most lamentable thing to do?

When An Zaiyue fought his way to the Golden Hall Square to find Nie Qing, Nie Qing was still sitting on the same chair without moving.

Contrary to the conflict between the two, Nie Qing still hadn’t been handed over to fight.

An Zhan suddenly had a bad premonition.

In the battle of the storing heroes, the Gao Family dared to directly intervene, asking him to accept the challenge again and again.

And this matter was so obvious. It was obvious that the Gao Family no longer took the laws of the Great Yan Dynasty seriously.

It was more than enough to show that those loyal to Mu Changyan had basically been wiped out by the empress dowager.

The Gao Family members were just pawns, pieces that the empress dowager was still testing.

The empress dowager was going to use the Gao Family to provoke the laws of the Yan Kingdom, and challenge Mu Changyan’s last resort.

As for Nie Qing, he probably suffered from the injustice.

An Zhan was deliberately arranged by others to fight in turns, and Nie Qing still hadn’t taken part in the fight. Perhaps those people didn’t even have the slightest intention of letting Nie Qing go on stage.

They could say that the three times their names appeared were due to a mistake on the part of the officials from the Ministry of Rites. Of course, they could also say that Nie Qing’s name wasn’t even in that box.

In the end, if Nie Qing’s name wasn’t called, the only thing he would do in the end was casually blame this mistake on a small official from the Ministry of Rites.

As for Nie Qing, he had lost everything.

“”Still waiting?””

Anjou asked.

Nie Qing glanced at An Xuan, then nodded, “”We can only wait.””

An Zhan stayed silent for a while, before sitting beside Nie Qing, “”Is this country still the country you love?””

Nie Qing was silent for a long time, then he looked at An Zhan and said solemnly, “”Four years ago, when Dean Yan personally taught us for the first time, he said that there was a well-known war general who said that.

If each and every one of them was an iron army, then they would be invincible.

“”If everyone is made of iron, then the world will be righteous.””

He looked around and said, “”The people here might have heard those words before, but no one cares.””

I can’t make every soldier into an iron army, every man into an iron man, I can only make myself into such a person.

The army was made of iron, and they won every battle.

“”A man is made of iron only because he has a righteous spirit in his heart.””

“”But there are times when people like you always seem lonely.””

Nie Qing smiled, giving An Zhan a meaningful glance, “”Aren’t you the same?””

An Zhan shook his head with a smile. “”I’m not like you. I know how to change things.””

Nie Qing’s smile became a little more relaxed, “”Just a little more and I’ll believe it.””

“”I almost believed it myself.””

After laughing for a while, Nie Qing continued, “”In the end, if no one calls me by my name, we representing the Martial Arts Academy won’t even have the chance to enter the arena. After this is over, I will challenge the number one opponent in Ou Kui’s battle.””

An Zhe nodded, “”Alright.””

Nie Qing said, “”But you and I also know very well that even if we have a chance to go on stage in the battle against Roach, even if we win, it’s possible that we will lose to those examinees for various reasons.””

An Xuan subconsciously looked at the Minister of Rites who was standing beside the field with a box. He felt more and more disgusted with the rotten government officials of Great Yan.

However, at this time, the seemingly thirty year old chubby and even somewhat stupid Minister of Rites took out a slip of paper from the box: “”Next match, Nie Qing from the Martial Arts Academy.””

Then, he reached into the box again and took out a note to read: “”His opponent is Feng Xiuzhu, the Taoist Priest.””

The scene was filled with exclamations!

No one had expected that the main event would come so quickly and violently.

The rules for this year’s selection had been changed on the spur of the moment. In the past, the participants of the Qualifying Wars had always gone through the primary selection, one by one.

This year, Empress Dowager Su had wanted to make decisions on everything, changing the match to the selection as soon as her brain warmed up.

However, because of this, there was a lot of uncertainty in the duel.

No one knew if their opponents were from the same sect or not.

Nie Qing was slightly stunned for a moment, then he took a deep breath and stood up. He tidied up his clothes, lowered his head and looked at An Zhe. “”It seems that fate is still full of injustice.””

An Zhan gave him a thumbs up. “”You have to win.””

Nie Qing nodded and then strode onto the field.

On the side of the Supreme Palace, all of their expressions were a little strange.

The leader, who was wearing a black robe, had an especially ugly expression. He stared fiercely at the official from the Rites Department who was in charge of drawing the paper slip, as though he was carrying a knife in his eyes.

However, the official of the Ministry of Rites simply sat there, looking up at the bright moon, which had yet to come to work.

The sun was shining in the sky, and the flowers were smiling at someone.

The Daoist turned around and said to Feng Xiuju, whose eyes were starting to glow, “”Something’s not right about this. That Rites Department official took our benefits. He shouldn’t have separated you and Nie Qing.””

According to the previous arrangement, Nie Qing will fight against Su Feihu from the Grand Cauldron Academy.

“”It’s better if both of them are injured, only then can you safely take first place.””

Feng Xiuxiu watched as Nie Qing strode onto the field. The light in his eyes grew brighter and brighter. “”Who cares about first place?””

The black-robed Daoist was stunned for a moment. He wanted to say something else, but Feng Xiuzhu was already on the stage.

Feng Xiuju wore a navy blue Daoist robe. She was tall and straight, and her face was almost devoid of any flaws. This made her the dream lover of many young women in Fang Gengcheng.

Moreover, the Yan Kingdom’s Dao Sect couldn’t help but marry, so it was unknown how many people wanted to marry him.

However, this handsome and friendless number one person of the younger generation in the Supreme Court had never had any scandals with a woman. He had never even been to a brothel before.

Some said he was noble, others that no woman was worthy of him.

It was different from the famous Su Feihun, who had spread his name throughout Fang Bancheng. Rumors regarding Feng Xiuzhi were all about this heaven-gifted talent easily defeating a challenger or something like that.

Feng Xiuxiu was carrying a wooden sword while Nie Qing was carrying a black short rod.

No matter how one looked at it, the two of them stood there as if they were extremely handsome.

Feng Xiuxiu was handsome, dashing, and elegant like Young Master.

As for Nie Qing, he was magnificent, majestic, and his entire body was filled with the masculine aura of a man.

“”At least I didn’t come for nothing.””

Feng Xiuzhu clasped his fists towards Nie Qing, “”Hello senior brother Nie.””

Nie Qing cupped his fist in return, “”Senior Feng, this is fine too.””

Feng Xiuzhu smiled and said, “”Since four years ago, I have wanted to fight with you.””

But you also know that the rules of the sect are too much. They’re worried that if I lose, I’ll cause the reputation of the Supreme Palace to plummet.

“”However, this gradually became my internal demon. I won’t be able to sleep well without fighting you.””

Nie Qing smiled, “”Then let’s have a good fight.””

Feng Xiuzhu looked around. “”I can’t enjoy fighting here no matter what.””

Nie Qing asked, “”Then where do you want to fight at?””

Feng Xiuju sighed, “”We have to let them watch the fight, and we still want to have a good fight. Why don’t we go there?””

He pointed.

Nie Qing took a look, he was referring to the Heavenly Temple’s main hall.
