Star Trace Gate

Zhao Baicheng listened to Ren Ye's question and shook his head slightly: "I don't know. The Forest of Rebirth is the place where your master practices Taoism. In the entire Suzaku City, no one else can enter except him."

"You haven't been there?" Ren Ye was very surprised, because in his impression, these two old men were definitely as close as Guan and Bao, and they could talk about anything. He even hesitated for a while, wondering whether he should call Zhao Baicheng "Second Master" or "Master's Wife".

"The better the friends, the more you should respect each other's privacy. Even if you are curious, you have to hold it back." Zhao Baicheng replied indifferently.

"Disciple understands." When Ren Ye heard the old man say this, he could only clasp his fists and smile awkwardly.

After a while, the entire Suzaku City fell silent again. The violent vibrations and the sounds of impacting the barriers all disappeared.

"brush!"

A burst of clear light appeared, and Lin Xiang's figure emerged.

After he entered the cabinet, his expression returned to normal. He slowly turned to look at Ren Ye and praised him, "During this trip to the Sin Star Gate, your overall performance was worthy of your second master's thoughts. In particular, your handling of the final battle... was very good."

"It's all thanks to the good teachings of both masters." Ren also recalled A Pu's initial appearance and showed a very cute smile.

"You can make three reasonable requests." Lin Xiang always spoke very concisely.

"No, no, no." Ren Ye heard this and immediately bent down and replied, "It's just a second-level star gate; there are only three or four S-level missions; there are only a few hundred competitors; it's just a small scene of one against six camps... How dare I take credit for it? Go and make a request to the two masters!"

When Lin Xiang heard this, he was stunned for three seconds.

Zhao Baicheng rolled his eyes. "I told you, this kid's smile is extremely deceptive. The reason why the Empire's junk stocks can continue to rise and become so hard to find in the six ministries is all thanks to this."

"Haha." Lin Xiang smiled rarely: "Okay, since you are like that...!"

"If Master insists on rewarding merits and punishing mistakes, then I have nothing to say." When Ren Ye saw that the two old men didn't buy it, he immediately changed the subject.

"...Say it."

"I would like to ask Master to help Tang Feng get his file transferred to my No. 6 Courtyard." After Ren Ye said this, he immediately added, "It would be best if the file transfer process is the same as Huang Wei's. Just transfer the file first, and then notify Tang Feng after he settles down."

The reason why Ren Ye made this request was because Tang Feng's personal relationships were really difficult to adjust. He belonged to the file of a Kyoto city unit and had been internally punished before. If he went to the Sixth Ministry to make a request by himself, Kyoto could unilaterally reject him.

After all, Tang Feng's professional inheritance has already landed, and it is indeed very scarce. Regarding the ability of desire, the entire Shousuiren organization should only have this one.

After listening to this, Lin Xiang said without any hesitation: "Yes."

"Master, I'm about to complete another stage mission. If there's anything that I find difficult to resolve... I hope you two masters can give me a green light." Ren was indeed traumatized by the second stage promotion mission. He was also really afraid that his third stage promotion mission was related to resources.

"Without affecting your personal training and experience accumulation, or wasting too much time, I can reasonably help you solve some problems." Lin Xiang still nodded in agreement.

"The third one is easier. Second Master's mind talisman... do you have any more?" Ren Ye grinned and said, "Disciple feels safe with that thief!"

"Oh!"

Zhao Baicheng took out the cushion under his butt and smashed it on Ren Ye's head: "Do you think that thing is cabbage?! I said to plant one, so you plant one? That was originally a protective item I left for my last disciple... Do you know its value?"

"I know, I know." Ren nodded repeatedly and said aggrievedly, "The main reason is that I have offended the Central Plains Alliance this time. If things go wrong, I will be retaliated against in the future, so disciple...!"

"If he dares, there will be no Central Plains Alliance in the world." Zhao Baicheng replied indifferently.

Minister Lin stared at Ren Ye and took three slow steps forward. "As for the third request, when you travel again, think about it and then tell me."

Ren was also stunned for a moment, and immediately clasped his fists and replied: "Yes, disciple thanks both teachers."

"Go and have a rest." Lin Xiang waved his hand and said, "Just hand in the complete mission report of Sin Star Gate within five days."

"Yes."

After the three masters and apprentices finished chatting, Ren left the academy with satisfaction.

He never expected that this time, not only did he gain a lot in the Star Gate, but after returning, he also received three requests from the old man.

Alas, if Old Liu knew, his back teeth would probably be broken again.

Inside the academy.

Zhao Baicheng looked at Lin Xiang and frowned, reminding him, "He robbed the Sin Star Gate and got the Dragon Cauldron, the Nine-bend Blue Cloud Bamboo, and five corpse puppets of high quality... This is a lot of money. You also agreed to his three requests. I'm afraid this kid will be complacent and completely arrogant."

Lin Xiang shook his head and said, "The promotion from two to three means that the road to becoming a human emperor has been opened. Those who have good fortune do not worship gods, demons, or immortals, but want to be equal to heaven. This... road is not so easy to walk. I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to overcome this hurdle."

Zhao Baicheng thought for a long time and nodded slowly: "Okay. If he enters the advanced stage earlier, he should be able to catch up with the brightest time of the migration site."

……

Ren Ye left the academy and went straight back to Qingliang Mansion.

As soon as he entered the government gate, Huang Ge came up to him eagerly: "You're back, brother!"

"Don't talk to me, don't disturb me, I have to rest and have a good sleep." Ren was so tired that he turned his head to look at Huang Ge and said, "If I haven't woken up in a day, go out and see if Tang Feng has come."

"...No, I was joking about being a donkey, do you really think I am a donkey? Since you left, I haven't had a single day of peace. Look at my dark circles, even Lancome doesn't work." Huang Ge was anxious: "You came back and didn't even say a word to me, is that appropriate?"

"No more talking, no more talking. I'm really sleepy." Ren Ye yawned, walked straight into the backyard, dived into the prefect's inner room, covered himself with Lao Huang's quilt, and fell into a deep sleep.

Not long after, Lian Er came over to take a look, and then said to Huang Ge quietly, "My prince is really tired, just let him have a rest."

Huang Ge rolled his eyes at her: "It's not the time to call Huang Ge short or Huang Ge long every day? When people come back, they immediately change?"

Lian Er said calmly: "I just feel sorry for the prince."

"Humph."

Brother Huang turned away.

……

A day later, at dusk.

After sleeping for more than twenty hours, Ren Ye finally got up.

There was no other way. During the Stargate mission, everyone was on edge all day long. No matter how they rested, they would always feel an indelible sense of fatigue. Only when they returned home, lay down on their familiar bed, covered themselves with a quilt, and fell asleep without noticing anything happening outside the window, could they completely relax and rest.

After getting up, Ren also washed up simply with the help of Lian'er.

"Brother Renzi, three stupid guys came to our Qingliang Mansion. They kept scolding a man named Li Yan... I seemed to remember this name, but I seemed to have forgotten it." Little Susu said cutely.

"What does scolding Li Yan have to do with us?" Ren Ye replied calmly: "I don't feel any burden at all."

"Yes, Mr. Huang said the same thing." Lian'er added.

Ren Ye finished washing up, shook his sleeves and asked, "Is the meal ready?"

"I'm ready." Brother Huang walked over with his hands behind his back, expressionless.

"Let's eat." Ren Ye took out the airs of King Huai and ordered calmly: "Bring those three guys into the inner hall one by one. Ladies first, followed by the assassin who can use a sword."

"Yes, I'll go there myself." Lian'er responded happily and left with two clerks.

Ren also walked into the inner hall and asked curiously, "Are Lao Liu and his beloved concubine back?"

"She's back." Huang Ge's face fell, and his enthusiasm suddenly waned. "Your beloved concubine brought the five boys who she got from who knows where back to her room in the palace and never came out again. She also refused to let anyone disturb her. Old Liu was just like you. He went to sleep right after he came back and hasn't woken up yet."

"The words you use... don't suit your status?" Ren also rolled his eyes.

"What kind of identity do I have? Haha, I'm being treated like a donkey." Brother Huang said sarcastically.

Ren ignored him, just bent down and sat on the chair, taking a look at the food on the table: "Hey, no. Is our meal standard so ridiculous? I'm back, so I'll just give you some pickled vegetables, big steamed buns, and rice porridge?"

Huang said calmly: "It's good enough if you don't eat shit."

"?"

Ren also looked at him sideways, thinking, "Do you want breakfast? Comrade Huang Wei?"

Brother Huang sat on the side, wearing an official robe and crossing his legs: "Let's not talk about feelings. We don't have much feelings for each other. I just want to ask, what did you gain from this trip? To put it simply, how much money did you make and how much contribution can you make to the empire."

"Heh." Faced with such a straightforward question, Ren Ye curled his lips and replied, "My income alone is probably about 260,000 Star Sources."

When Old Liu heard this, he was silent for a few seconds, then turned around and shouted to the servant, "Give him two cold dishes and a plate of braised beef."

"Oh, our meal standards are quite flexible."

"No way, in the Empire's business, everything is about economics." Huang Ge stood up with a squint and said, "Okay, you can eat. I'll confiscate the 260,000 yuan later, because I want to buy some stallions from southern Xinjiang."

Ren Ye looked at him and said slowly, "Oh, I have one more thing to say. In addition to 260,000 star sources, I also got two artifacts. I don't know how much this thing is worth... There is no price in the market outside. Besides, the five strange men led by my beloved concubine, five hundred second-level players, are no match for one person."

"brush!"

When Huang Ge heard this, he turned around abruptly, his eyes flashing like a wolf-dog seeing meat: "Are you serious?!"

"Of course. I'll write it in the report." Ren also pushed his chopsticks and said, "Forget it, it's just plain food, I don't need to eat it. I'll trade the magic weapon for some wine!"

"Brother, sit down, don't get excited!" Brother Huang immediately pulled him and persuaded him: "You are a leader, you have to know how to live and calculate, you can't even poop in other people's toilets!"

After saying that, he turned around and shouted, "Come on, serve the dishes according to the state guest menu! Hurry up! Our Prince Huai is hungry! Go, go, kill the smuggled wild boar that I confiscated from Blind Zhang the day before yesterday, and feed the prince blood sausage."

"Why do I find myself being sidelined by you?"

"It's okay, it doesn't matter. You have money, nothing will change." Huang Ge comforted him, "Come on, drink, drink!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the two of them instantly became friends again, and Ren also agreed with Brother Huang's insistence on following the planned economy route, and hinted subtly that Lao Liu's hospitality standards could be very flexible, as the other party had just left the Star Gate and had money in his hands.

As they were eating and drinking, they saw Lian'er bringing a woman who was tied up in shackles.

Her hair was disheveled, and she smelled sour all over. Her bare feet were covered with blisters from the shackles.

Ren Ye looked at her carefully for more than thirty seconds before recognizing that she was the eldest daughter of the Wang family - Wang Lili.

"Your Majesty!"

Two jailers held Wang Lili's hair and shoulders and made her kneel on the ground.

"Look up!" Ren also shouted.

Wang Lili slowly raised her head and looked at Ren Ye with unfamiliar eyes, remaining silent.

Ren Ye instantly used a disguise charm to transform himself into the way he was at Wang's house: "Do you still recognize me?!"

As soon as the words were spoken, the atmosphere suddenly froze.

After Wang Lili was stunned for a moment, she pushed the two jailers aside and angrily yelled, "Li Yan! I will fuck your ancestors for eight generations... My Wang family has an irreconcilable feud with you! Don't think that you can imprison me here by using some despicable means! You will be punished by God...!"

She gritted her teeth, her expression ferocious, and she was completely crazy.

Brother Huang saw this and couldn't help but mutter, "Why are you cursing so much? What's the big grudge? Did you kill his father?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he actually saw Ren nodded.

at the same time.

Xu Bangzi, who was queuing outside the door, heard the inner hall calling Li Yan's name and shouted, "Li Yan! I believed your lies, I curse you...!"

"Snapped!"

The jailer went up and slapped Xu Bangzi in the face, causing him to spin half a circle. "I heard about your experience and I deeply sympathize with you. You can scold Li Yan, but keep your voice down...!"

Xu Bangzi, who was fed Sanyuan Powder, looked extremely aggrieved. He held his breath for a long time, then spit out a mouthful of white foam and said in anger, "...If he realizes his lofty ambitions in the future, he will stain half the sky with blood!"
