"Alright, stop being stingy!" Old Wang Ba patted Ye Qing on the shoulder and said, "The most crucial thing is to stay alive. If you die first, what will happen to those kids?"
Speaking of this, Ye Qing frowned again. Seeing the attitude of Huang Boxiong and his people just now, whether the orphanage matter would be approved was still an unknown, and this was Ye Qing's biggest concern.
"Anyway, let's just consider it saving a person," Ye Qing sighed and said, "I'll try my best to cover his sister's expenses abroad. But you can't let soone risk their life for us just because of this money!"
"I don't care, I've already called him over, and you have to give the money. As for whether he helps you, I can't do anything about it. Whether you want his help or not, I won't interfere," Old Wang Ba said as he sat down on the sofa, panting, "Damn it, Liu Mubai, that ungrateful guy, has been ruthless to his own kin ever since the Liu family was gone. I even had so connections with him back then, and he almost screwed over. Young Ye, I've been so busy with your matter that I'm losing my sense of direction. Hurry and send so girls over to massage my legs or sothing!"
Ye Qing gave him a look and said, "Stop exploiting those young girls. You're old enough, how can you still be so disrespectful?"
Old Wang Ba imdiately sat up and said, "What do you an disrespectful? I, Eighth Master, am still very young, you know."
"Forty years and over a hundred months, right?" Ye Qing curled his lip. With Old Wang Ba's appearance, not many could really guess his age.
"Stop bringing up my age, the key thing is, I, Eighth Master, have a young heart!" Wang Old Ba said with a cheeky smile.
Ye Qing said, "Since you're so young, why do I need to send you any girls? There are so many girls downstairs, go chase one yourself!"
Old Wang Ba rolled up his sleeves and indignantly said, "Damn it, are you looking down on or what? I just don't believe it, I'll go downstairs and pick one up for you in a bit!"
Ye Qing imdiately laughed and said, "If you can really pick up soone, from now on, you can freely enter and spend as much as you want in all the places in Shenchuan City, I'll cover it all for you!"
Old Wang Ba disdainfully said, "You speak as if I need to spend money to enter any place in Shenchuan City right now?"
"You don't spend money in my places, but most of the venues in Shenchuan City are under Li's control, don't you have to spend money there?" Ye Qing said.
"You're wrong about that!" Old Wang Ba leisurely took out a VIP card from his pocket and said leisurely, "Li Lianshan is quite filial, he already gave a VIP pass. All his venues, I can use for free!"
"When did this happen?" Ye Qing's eyes widened in shock, "How did you manage to fool Li?"
"Pff, I spit on your face with cologne, what do you an I fooled him?" Old Wang Ba said proudly, "He was completely conquered by my extraordinary personal charm and willingly gave a VIP card. Unlike you, if it weren't for pressing you, you'd still be stingy!"
"Co off it!" Ye Qing curled his lip, knowing that Old Wang Ba must have fooled Li sohow. However, Li Lianshan trusted Old Wang Ba a lot, often asking him for fortune-telling, so being tricked was probably inevitable.
"Let's stop the nonsense," Old Wang Ba said. "On a serious note, this Liu Mubai is very capable. The last ti he fought with the Right Protector, he was just a young man starting out. Over these years, his strength has beco imasurable. Having him by your side can at least ensure your safety."
"It's not actually that dangerous," Ye Qing said. "Since Wang Tian'an has suffered several big losses recently, his n probably won't last long. Once Chen San drives them back, this area will be completely safe. Besides, with my current situation, even if soone really cos to kill , it won't be so easy!"
"I spit, Wang Tian'an counts for nothing!" Old Wang Ba said, "That man is just a pawn Ning Qianshu placed years ago. Compared to Ning Qianshu, he's not even worthy to carry the shoes. It's been twenty years, and the Gate of Life is probably about to open. I predict that Ning Qianshu, who has disappeared for twenty years, will show up soon. When he does, that's when the real chaos begins. If you don't have soone capable by your side then, I bet you'll be the first to die!"
Ye Qing furrowed his brows, glanced at Old Wang Ba, and said, "Ning Qianshu, who exactly is this person? Why does it seem like everyone has a grudge against him? Also, what exactly is this Gate of Life you keep ntioning?"
"Not everyone has a grudge against Ning Qianshu, it's just that most of the people you've seen so far are his enemies. Actually, Ning Qianshu also has his own allies. Once Ning Qianshu appears, his allies are likely to show up, and that's when an unstoppable force will truly erge!" Old Wang Ba said: "As for the Gate of Life, it is one of the Three Gates created by the extraordinary Guiguzi during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods. These Three Gates are naly Heaven, Earth, and Man. The Gate of Life corresponds to the Human Gate. The origin of all these grievances and battles actually stems from these Three Gates. Since the mont they were created during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods up till now, almost all feuds in the martial arts world revolve around these gates. Over the past two thousand years, every massacre in the martial arts world was related to these gates; once these gates are opened, chaos will surely ensue!"
Ye Qing was dumbfounded, and curiously asked, "What exactly is inside these three gates? Why have people been fighting over them for over two thousand years?"
Old Wang Ba smiled and said, "The things inside are definitely what everyone in the world desperately pursues!"
"But what exactly are they?" Ye Qing asked.
"As for what precisely, I don't know," Old Wang Ba shrugged his shoulders and said, "Throughout history, not many people were able to enter these gates. Those who did either beca the strongest martial artists, masters of formations, extraordinary doctors, or even beca founding emperors. Like the Martial Saint Guan Yu, Wisdom Saint Zhuge Liang, and several founding Emperors who have all entered one of the gates. Therefore, so speculate whether top-secret manuals, formations, treasures, or military strategies that could lead to extraordinary achievents are hidden inside. After all, Guiguzi was called the Sage of Strategy, and the contents he placed inside these Three Gates, created over his lifeti, wouldn't be simple."
"There's such a thing?" Ye Qing's face was full of confusion and astonishnt as he looked at Old Wang Ba, trying to discern if the old man was deceiving him. After all, such matters seed utterly implausible.
"Nonsense, do you think I have nothing better to do than to make up a lie to deceive you?" Old Wang Ba said, "I'll give you the simplest example, the master of Sai Hua Tuo Baili Xi and King Yan Ning Qianshu, Divine Doctor An Shiping, he had entered the Gate of Life. Before entering, he was just a sickly castaway abandoned by his family. But after he ca out from the Gate of Life, he imdiately beca the number one powerhouse and also a world-renowned Divine Doctor, casting his shadow over an entire era of martial artists. During his lifeti, no one could stand at the sa height as him; that is a living example!"
Ye Qing scratched his head and ntioned, "I thought Divine Doctor An Shiping only knew how to heal. Turns out, he also knew martial arts!"
"Not just knew; his martial arts were Invincible Under the Heavens!" Old Wang Ba explained, "It's just unfortunate, even though he was unparalleled and could heal any ailnt, he still couldn't withstand the ravages of ti. Only after his death did individuals like the King of North-South Boxing, Prince Nalan, Helian Tiehua, and Purple Robe Lama erge. If he had been immortal, those people would never have gained any fa!"
"So, this really is a thing?" Ye Qing muttered pensively, "But if these gates really contain secret manuals or treasures, why couldn't those who entered just take the secrets and treasures with them, avoiding the need for future conflicts?"
Old Wang Ba replied, "They definitely couldn't take them out, otherwise there wouldn't be any conflict left, right? The traps Guiguzi left behind are beyond our imagination!"
Ye Qing argued, "Even if they couldn't take them out, since people have been in there, shouldn't the location of these gates be confird? Other people could just enter as well, what's there left to fight over?"
"Ah, that's where it gets tricky!" Old Wang Ba smacked his thigh and continued, "If the exact locations of these three gates were known, then future generations wouldn't need to fight over it. The key problem is, the locations of these three gates are uncertain!"
"What do you an?" Ye Qing widened his eyes in disbelief, "If people have been through them, how can their locations still be uncertain?"
"I don't know either…" Old Wang Ba shrugged and said, "Anyway, over these two thousand years, every ti these three gates appeared, their locations were never fixed. This ti it might appear in Shenchuan City, the next might be in Pingnan Province, and the next might move to the ng District; these gates are mobile!"
"How… how is that possible?" Ye Qing was even more shocked; though he could understand the previous explanations, the idea of these three gates being mobile was truly beyond his comprehension.
"I don't know either!" Old Wang Ba spread his hands and said, "I was even more shocked than you when I first heard about this. Just three doors, yet they can move? How is that possible? But this is the truth, these three gates indeed move, and their positions each ti are unpredictable."
Ye Qing was flabbergasted, stared at Old Wang Ba for a while, and chuckled, "Eighth Master, you must be joking with again. How can three gates move? Even with today's technology, that's impossible. Even if Guiguzi had trendous skills, such an event couldn't possibly happen!"
