Chapter 100: The Terror of the Astrologer

When Ye Lin appeared at the entrance of Student Zhuge Qianxing's small courtyard, Guo Qin and Student Zhuge Qianxing were already waiting for him inside. Of course, there was also Student Zhuge Ni, who was standing behind Student Zhuge Qianxing and had dressed up specifically.

"You're here? I cooked some locust tree flower porridge; let's eat a little before we depart," Student Zhuge Qianxing picked up a bowl and ladled a bowl of steaming, fragrant locust tree flower porridge for Ye Lin.

The hot porridge slid down his throat and into his stomach, making his whole body feel warm and extremely comfortable.

Of course, if it weren't for Student Zhuge Ni, who was blushing and staring at him from across the table, this meal would have been even more comfortable.

Student Zhuge Ni would secretly size Ye Lin up from time to time, and when their gazes met, she would immediately withdraw her gaze like a startled rabbit.

Ye Lin: "..."

After finally managing to finish the meal, Ye Lin breathed a sigh of relief, stood up, and prepared to leave.

At this moment, Student Zhuge Ni suddenly called out to him.

"Ling Ye!"

"Is something the matter?" Ye Lin asked helplessly.

"That... after you return and become my father's apprentice... can I... can I invite you to watch a movie?"

Student Zhuge Ni lowered her head with a blushing face, her two hands continuously tugging at her clothes.

"Let's talk about it when I return," Ye Lin turned his head coldly.

"Okay..." Student Zhuge Ni felt somewhat disappointed, but soon her fighting spirit was reignited!

She must still have a certain status in Ling Ye's heart; otherwise, Ling Ye would have definitely rejected her directly instead of giving her an ambiguous answer!

As long as she continued to work hard, she would definitely be able to melt this iceberg that was Ling Ye!

Student Zhuge Ni, cheer up! You can definitely do it!

Student Zhuge Ni secretly cheered herself on in her heart.

Guo Qin, who was squatting at the door, rubbed his chin, looked at Student Zhuge Ni, then at Ye Lin, and whispered with a laugh.

"It's clear that the Young Lady is very interested in you!"

"I'm not interested in her," Ye Lin shook his head and said.

"Actually, it's still quite fun, isn't it? The Young Lady doesn't know that Ling Ye is Ye Lin, and she even likes Ling Ye while hating Ye Lin. You first get the Young Lady to fall for you, and when you've opened a room and the distance is negative, *swish*!"

"You just take off the mask directly and give her a surprise. Wouldn't that be beautiful? Then shout out loud, 'Silly girl, there is no Ling Ye; I have always been Ye Lin,' and then start sprinting wildly!"

The more Guo Qin spoke, the brighter his eyes became, and he even slapped his thigh hard.

"That's right! Why didn't I think of such a fun method before! Letting the other party be forcibly connected by the person they hate—isn't this a kind of NTR? But the one being cuckolded is yourself!"

Ye Lin: "..."

Guo Qin's brain was truly beyond saving. This guy could associate almost any messy thing with very strange aspects.

You talk to him about green beans, and he shows a strange smile.

You talk to him about tigers, and he shows a strange smile.

You talk to him about fans, and he shows a strange smile.

Even if you talk to him about a meteor shower at eight tonight, he can still show a strange smile.

Ye Lin sometimes really wanted to pry open Guo Qin's skull to see how his brain was actually grown.

"What are you two chatting about?" Student Zhuge Qianxing walked out with a smile that wasn't quite a smile.

"Nothing, nothing, Mr. Student Zhuge, let's depart quickly," Guo Qin laughed awkwardly.

If Mr. Student Zhuge knew he was teaching Ye Lin how to bully Student Zhuge Ni, Mr. Student Zhuge would definitely skin him alive.

"You'd better be," Student Zhuge Qianxing glanced at Guo Qin, making Guo Qin feel a chill all over.

"Let's go."

Fortunately, Student Zhuge Qianxing didn't intend to bicker with Guo Qin. Guo Qin breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly boarded a black off-road vehicle parked at the door, acting as the driver.

As for Ye Lin and Student Zhuge Qianxing, they sat in the back row.

"Teacher, are we going to the teleportation array?" Ye Lin asked.

"No, no need. The Gate of Apocalypse is in the wilderness of Qingcheng. Also, stop calling me Teacher; it's easy to expose your identity. Just like Guo Qin, call me Mr. Student Zhuge," Student Zhuge Qianxing pushed his glasses and smiled.

"Okay," Ye Lin nodded.

Guo Qin stepped on the gas, and the off-road vehicle shot out like an arrow from a bowstring.

At the city gate, seeing that it was Student Zhuge Qianxing sitting in the car, no one dared to block them and let them pass directly. The black off-road vehicle drove out of Qingcheng without any obstruction.

Once out of the city, the road instantly became bumpy.

Student Zhuge Qianxing took out a piece of white paper and a pen, drew on the paper, and then handed it to Guo Qin.

"Follow the route on this."

"Okay, Mr. Student Zhuge."

Guo Qin began to drive according to the route map Student Zhuge Qianxing had drawn, and Ye Lin also witnessed for the first time just how terrifying the profession of Astrologer was!

The off-road vehicle drove on the rugged road, and Ye Lin was ready at all times to deal with demon monsters that might suddenly appear. After all, this was the wilderness!

However, to Ye Lin's surprise, they didn't encounter even a single demon monster along the way!

Those fierce demon monsters that roamed the wilderness all year round seemed to have received news in advance and deliberately avoided them.

Clearly, the roars and screeches of demon monsters could be heard from time to time in the surroundings, but not a single one appeared to block their path.

This discovery made Ye Lin's back feel cold, and he couldn't help but glance at Student Zhuge Qianxing, who was resting with his eyes closed.

Foresight, avoiding bad luck, anticipating the enemy's moves.

Such means were simply too eerie and unpredictable. If Student Zhuge Qianxing truly had some thoughts about him... it would clearly be an extremely terrifying thing.

After the off-road vehicle crossed a hill and passed through a path in a dense forest, it stopped at the entrance of a valley.

"We're here. Get out of the car."

Student Zhuge Qianxing opened his eyes and led Ye Lin and Guo Qin toward the valley.

There was a faint white mist in the valley. Not long after entering the valley, Ye Lin saw quite a few figures gathered together ahead.

And in front of the crowd stood a huge stone gate. The stone gate was so high it couldn't be seen to the top, and as wide as clouds and mist. Carved on it were various patterns such as the sun, moon, stars, mountains, rivers, dragons, phoenixes, and Qilin, appearing both mysterious and solemn.

This gate stood abruptly in the valley. The eerie thing was that one could only see this gate when looking from the front; if one looked from other directions, one could only see the empty valley.

"Is that the Gate of Apocalypse?" Ye Lin looked at the stone gate before him and couldn't help but exclaim.

"Correct." The eyes behind Student Zhuge Qianxing's gold-rimmed glasses were also filled with surprise. Even for him, this was the first time he had seen the Gate of Apocalypse with his own eyes.

"Mr. Student Zhuge, you've finally come. If you hadn't come, I would have sent people to see if you had encountered any accidents."

A middle-aged man in a crisp suit said indifferently. Behind him followed a group of job-changers, each of whom exuded an extremely terrifying aura; clearly, none were below level 30.

"Sorry to trouble Director Tan for worrying," Student Zhuge Qianxing smiled slightly, his expression calm.

Seeing Ye Lin's confused expression, Guo Qin, who was on the side, whispered an explanation.

"He is the Deputy Director of the Qingcheng Investigation Bureau, Tan Qingjiang! Back when I was a flower-picking thief, it was because I played with his wife that I was caught and locked up in the Investigation Bureau. By the way, his wife is really great!" ===== CHAPTER 101 =====
