Qin Fang had encountered quite a few con artists, and several people who could perform the Qiann Illusion Technique, but none of them carried such a title, not even Ye Huan, a woman who had cultivated the Qiann Illusion Technique to a very high level didn't possess the status of a Thousand Gates Acolyte.
However, it was Li Tianyou, who didn't know the Qiann Illusion Technique at all, who unexpectedly gained such a status, which was what surprised Qin Fang the most...
It was precisely for this reason that Qin Fang had intentionally brought him back instead of leaving him to his own devices.
With the IOU in hand, and being very clear about Li Tianyou's background, Qin Fang didn't care if Li Tianyou would run away because it would be useless. Qin Fang could directly go to the Li Family to demand the person and the debt repaynt; it didn't matter where Li Tianyou hid, if Qin Fang didn't go after him, the Li family would send soone to take care of him.
Therefore, Qin Fang didn't care about the money; what he wanted to know was about the Thousand Gate. Li Tianyou seed to be the first Thousand Gates Acolyte that Qin Fang had encountered, even though he looked so ordinary, as if he should have no connection with the Thousand Gate.
"What do you want to know?"
Li Tianyou had been silent for a long ti before he finally spoke in a low voice.
In reality, during his silence, countless thoughts had flown through his mind, but he still couldn't guess Qin Fang's real purpose.
"I want to know everything you know about Thousand Gate..."
Qin Fang said bluntly. Although he had learned so things about the Thousand Gate through the inheritance of Thousand Skills, it hardly had anything to do with the current real-life Thousand Gate.
Thousand Skills is a vast skill system, involving many things and quite complex, especially when it cos to an organization as mysterious and grand as Thousand Gate with thousands of years of heritage. Qin Fang faintly felt that he would have an intricate connection with Thousand Gate...
This was also why Qin Fang decided to first learn so information about Thousand Gate, and it was also the reason why he was continuously seeking out masters of Thousand Skills.
People like the siblings Ye Huan and Ye Ming, as well as the behind-the-scenes boss of the casino he encountered in his hotown, it was just unfortunate that although they all knew the Qiann Illusion Technique, they were not people from the Thousand Gate.
Finding Li Tianyou was hard enough, and now that Qin Fang had such a significant hold over him, Qin Fang naturally hoped to learn about Thousand Gate from him.
Qin Fang originally wanted to extract the information directly using the Mind Reading Technique, but Li Tianyou simply wouldn't think about Thousand Gate, rendering the Mind Reading Technique useless.
"Actually, I don't know much about Thousand Gate, or you could say it is incredibly mysterious, yet also incredibly powerful. Within the gate, there are countless unimaginable masters, like my ntor... He's a very remarkable and unconventional master!"
Li Tianyou's face was still swollen, and speaking was sowhat difficult, but in the end, he chose to compromise and began to relay all that he knew.
Qin Fang, anwhile, listened to Li Tianyou's words while casting the Mind Reading Technique to glean more content and to discern the truth of every one of Li Tianyou's statents.
This was a necessary precaution; Li Tianyou was a swindler. Even if he was under soone's roof or had beco a captive, he might still use lies to obscure the truth, sothing Qin Fang had to guard against.
And sure enough...
Qin Fang did discover so problems.
The things about Thousand Gate that Li Tianyou spoke of were half-truths, and so were even wholly fabricated by himself, or perhaps rumors he had heard, all expressed in an attempt to mislead Qin Fang's perceptions.
From his appearance, one could hardly see or hear any flaws...
Qin Fang was understandably angry about this, but he didn't rush to expose it, instead pretending to believe everything as Li Tianyou spoke while he actually focused on using the Mind Reading Technique.
Half of what Li Tianyou said was false, but one thing he said was indeed true; that is, his master was a reknowned figure of the Thousand Gates, or rather, a very impressive master of trickery... Having only learned a tiny fraction of his master's skills, Li Tianyou was already able to deceive many people thoroughly.
This remarkable individual was proficient in trickery and also skilled in divination, a peerless character in the world of vagabonds. The reason he took in Li Tianyou as his disciple was solely because Li Tianyou had offered a bowl of water to this quirky character at just the right mont when he was thirsty.
It was such a cause that led to the later effect: the quirky character taught Li Tianyou a little of the Thousand Skills, left him with sothing, and then drifted away.
The Thousand Skills had many varieties, and since this quirky person specialized in trickery, naturally, he imparted the art of deception. Thus, the great swindler, Li Tianyou, was created.
However, this quirky character perhaps never anticipated that Li Tianyou, having learned his trickery, did not embark on the Righteous Path but instead ventured on such a wicked path, causing many families to break and lives to be lost...
"Qiann Charm?"
At last, Qin Fang found sothing within the depths of Li Tianyou's heart that was quite useful to him, a thing called Qiann Charm.
Or rather, it was a token of the Thousand Gates, which only a very few remarkable individuals within the Thousand Gates were qualified to possess, and Li Tianyou's master had once given him such a charm.
What was the use of this Qiann Charm?
It is said that in tis of dire need, one could use this charm to request help from the Thousand Gates in accomplishing a task...
The Thousand Gates had been in existence for thousands of years; it was an extrely ancient sect. Although it was nearly completely reclusive now, its strength was unimaginably powerful.
This kind of Qiann Charm was sothing only the very prestigious individuals within the Thousand Gates could possess, and each one given out was extrely treasured. Therefore, whatever one asked the Thousand Gates through this charm would surely be extraordinary.
Of course, too outrageous demands would not be fulfilled by the Thousand Gates... Generally speaking, the request should be sothing that ordinary people couldn't achieve but should not be too heaven-defying.
For example, turning a nobody into a national leader in a short ti was absolutely impossible, unless one resorted to mythical skills such as the Soul Transfer Technique... but such skills didn't exist!
However, turning a nobody into soone who owned an imnse fortune in a short ti was entirely feasible.
Do not doubt this possibility; all kinds of extraordinary people existed within the Thousand Gates. Like Li Tianyou's master, who was not only proficient in trickery but also excelled in divination, he could easily predict the winning numbers for the next lottery draw... Just buying a few hundred tickets, a pauper could imdiately turn into a billionaire.
This was rely a minor trick for a Thousand Gates extraordinary person, and there were others far more amazing...
It was also because of the trendous benefits brought by the Qiann Charm that Li Tianyou, despite having possessed the charm for a long ti, had never used it, always wanting to keep it as a last resort for saving his life!
Like this ti, for example, when he was caught by Qin Fang, even though he was forced to write down an I.O.U. for a debt he could not clear, Li Tianyou was not the least bit panicked. He intended to utilize the Qiann Charm to help him survive this calamity...
Just paying back money, of course, didn't frighten Li Tianyou; he even planned to clean up all the sses he had left behind in one go, so he could easily free himself.
"The idea is nice, but alas..."
In his mind, Qin Fang sneered continuously. He figured out why Li Tianyou seed so fearless, even if his swindling led to loss of life, he remained unperturbed and continued to strut around in the Capital City. If pushed too hard, he would simply use the Qiann Charm, and the Thousand Gates would naturally co to his rescue...
Li Tianyou had no doubts about this. Although Qin Fang had never truly witnessed the wonders of the Thousand Gates, Li Tianyou had seen them with his own eyes. Even if Li Tianyou were thrown into a dark jail, the extraordinary individuals of the Thousand Gates could use the miraculous Qin Dunjia to rescue him...
Not to ntion, there were other various divine techniques that were dazzling and mind-blowing! (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welco to co to Qidian (qidian) to vote for recomndation tickets and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
