Chapter 68: The Eight Gates (1)

  "What's up with that? Back then, we were either rushing to get somewhere or strolling around the streets. Who had time to flirt? It's different now, and I have a whole day off, so I'm super bored!!" The young lady replied with a smile.

  "Pick up girls..."

  When Ling Lan and her three roommates heard Big Sis's words, they were all a bit shocked...

  In the midst of Nangong Suzhen's two sisters' nonchalant expressions, coupled with Third Miss's explanations, they were also relieved and didn't guard against Eldest Miss either, not that they needed to in the first place.

  The big sister was very happy about this. She thought that she had come to the Longmen competition at just the right time and should reward that little rascal properly!!

  That little rascal has also run off somewhere and there's no news of him now, forget it, I don't care about him, I'll just drink and get drunk today, sleep with a beauty in my arms!!

  It cannot be denied that being a young lady has its advantages, and she really did get her wish. That night, she slept in the same bed as Princess Ke Xin, who had not refused her and also didn't want to see her drunk and running around everywhere.

  In addition, the atmosphere in the room was also tense at this time, and all those who could enter the second trial had already arrived!

  For Da Jie, almost everyone was speechless, because at this time, she actually got drunk again, knowing that the next trial was about to start. Even if you like drinking, you should restrain yourself a bit.

  But when Miss Three explained it, everyone seemed to understand!

  "She was never interested in wine, this Dragon Gate competition wasn't her goal, she just... came to have some fun..."

  While everyone thought the big sister should need time to recover from her drunkenness, on the second day's morning, everyone was surprised to see that the big sister had regained her energy and was chatting and laughing with several beautiful girls while having breakfast.

  At the same time, some people finally saw Lone Star. Although they had long known the name of Lone Star and knew that she was currently ranked first among girls, no one had ever seen her before!

  The lone star has always been in seclusion and rarely comes into contact with people!

  Moreover, the first time she appeared in public for the first time did not arouse much curiosity. With thousands of people present when Lone Star appeared, and then immediately entered the trial, many people did not have the opportunity to see her.

  But now it's different, everyone is resting, and you can see the lonely star without any obstruction!

  At this moment, those who saw him were almost shocked, they couldn't have imagined that the appearance of Lone Star would be even more outstanding than that of Da Xiaojie and others, there was no one here who could surpass him.

  Especially the lonely star has a faint and elegant temperament, making people even more fascinated!!

  "Simply a heavenly beauty!!"

  The fourth prince also gave a generous evaluation, he seemed to think that the third miss was somewhat inferior to Lonely Star now, although the third miss and Lonely Star were two different types, each with their own beauty, but in the heart of the fourth prince, the third miss was a bookworm, while Lonely Star was a warrior with extremely strong potential.

  From the development of the day later, Lonely Star is far superior to Third Miss, so he thinks Lonely Star must be much stronger!!

  "Miss Lonely Star, nice to meet you! I am Feng Xilie, the fourth prince of Tianfeng Country!" The fourth prince appeared in front of Lonely Star with a very friendly and charming introduction.

  "Hello, I'm Gu Xing!" Gu Xing replied calmly, then fell silent and quietly had breakfast with the eldest sister and others.

  Gu Xing is like that, although she won't ignore you completely, she also won't be too cold, but it's limited to just responding with a few words, nothing more!

  "Are Miss Gu Xing and Miss Nan Gong friends?" The Fourth Prince shamelessly inserted himself between Gu Xing and the Third Princess, as if he was trying to get close to both of them.

  "Not me, I don't have friends!"

  "!?" The fourth prince seemed not to have expected Gu Xing to answer this way, and found it strange when the elder sister and others didn't seem to mind.

  Could it be that they really aren't friends, just acquaintances!!

  The fourth prince didn't know that the Lonely Star wouldn't acknowledge anyone as her friend, because she felt that being friends with her would come at a terrible cost. She was a heavenly solitary star!!

  The few big sisters had already understood the situation, so they wouldn't think there was anything wrong with Gu Xing's words, and it wouldn't hurt their feelings. Instead, they would just find Gu Xing quite pitiful.

  "The four princes wanted to ask, but were interrupted."

  "What are you doing here, what does this have to do with you, why are you being so nosy, are you a woman or not?" The young lady said bluntly, there's only one person who would speak so directly like that in this place.

  "Miss Mo Yu, watch your tone! Who are you talking to?!!" The Fourth Prince was already displeased with Big Sister, now he's so angry he could draw his sword and chop someone.

  "Isn't it just talking to someone who has no shame, I wonder who that would be?" The young lady said with a smile.

  This is not obviously pointing at the monk and scolding the bald donkey, who are you saying has no face, this is as obvious as it gets!!

  "How dare you be rude to me!!" The fourth prince was furious.

  "What's wrong, dare to threaten me? I'll tell you, even if you're the king of Tianfeng Country, I'm still the same. Don't mention that you're just a small prince, it's uncertain whether you can become the king or not. You're being arrogant here now, if you really become the king in the future, it will be unbearable!!" The big sister was not willing to show weakness, and in her dictionary, there was no word for admitting defeat. She also kept attacking and criticizing, making the fourth prince unable to retort."

  "Alright, alright, you just wait!!" The fourth prince could only grit his teeth and say fiercely.

  "What are you waiting for? I don't have time for this! I like what Xiao Yao said, I never hold grudges!!" The young lady suddenly said.

  Hey, it seems like you're the one who should be holding a grudge, not me!!

  "You don't hold grudges? Why do I feel like you're holding a grudge?" Nangong Suzi said at this time.

  The big sister smiled and said, "Hehe, I don't hold grudges. If I have a grievance, I settle it on the spot and never leave it unpaid. Unlike some people who always harbor vengeful hearts, that's truly despicable!!"

  “……”

  Just when everyone thought it was hopeless, a voice made everyone put things down, even those who wanted to fight had to wait and see.

  "Assembly!"

  The examiner's loud shout, soon, the remaining five hundred candidates gathered together, waiting for the examiner's announcement!

  Rules and start time!!

  "It's been said before the second round, there's nothing to add. There are eight doors ahead of you, choose one at will to enter. Remember, be cautious in your choice, what comes after each door is different, some may easily get what you want, while others may find it very difficult!"

  "Also, each person can only bring one token out. If there are two, no matter who is stronger, they will both be losers!"

  When everyone saw several doors, they nodded, a total of eight, and each door had a word written on it!!

  "Rest, Life, Injury, Death, Scene, Shock, Open! The Eight Gates?! Aren't these the eight gates from the Qimen Dunjia? Could it be that this place was designed according to the Daoist formation?"

  People with sharp eyes have already seen the naming rule of this eight doors, but whether it is designed according to the Eight Doors Array, I estimate that no one knows, however, everyone still chooses carefully.

  "If it's the Eight Gates, then choosing life should be the simplest! But is that really the case here?" The Fourth Prince furrowed his brow, the blueprints he received had some designs, but they didn't seem to be the Eight Gates Formation. Had someone modified them again?

  It seems that it's no longer possible to pass through with just a blueprint, one must bring out their true skills!

  There's another point, these eight doors, are really written on the surface, wouldn't they change the life door to a death door or some other door? There must be a problem here!!

  The fourth prince was deep in thought, just like everyone else. The examiner didn't say that they must go in, but rather gave everyone time to consider the question of which door to enter, and it would depend on their own choice.

  "What should we choose?" asked Nangong Suzi.

  "Whatever!" The young lady said nonchalantly.

  "Third sister, what do you think?" asked Nangong Suxin to the third miss beside her.

  "I think choosing a birth door should be the simplest thing, but because it's simple, many people will choose it, and it won't be simple anymore!" said Third Miss, "The person who designed this is very clever!!"

  "It's the same! Actually, we don't have a choice either. There are only 100 tokens inside, and each door probably has the same ones. The more people who enter through the birth door, the more competition there is, making it harder. On the other hand, some doors may be a bit more difficult, but fewer people choose them, so the competition will be less!" Nangong Suxin muttered to herself.

  "Moreover, very few people enter the Gate of Death. Some people who feel that their strength is not enough will try their luck by entering the Gate of Death! This also gives some slightly weaker individuals a chance to advance to the next trial, which is fair for everyone!!"

  "What should we choose then?" asked the young lady, who didn't want to waste her own brainpower and instead left it to Nangong Suhui.

  "If we want to get all the advantages, it's better for us to split up. Three people in each group, two groups per door, and help each other out!! Don't go through the dead doors, if there are any left, go through the live ones!!" said Nangong Suzhen.

  Each door should have more than ten tokens, and it's better to rob others than to fight with your own people. Whether you can win or not depends on the will of heaven.

  Nangong Suzi felt that the Death Gate should not have too many tokens, and the Life Gate should have a few more, because the examiner designed it to test everyone's abilities, and since most people went to the Life Gate, there would naturally be more tokens.
