Chapter 1115: So How Much Is Your Annual Salary
“It won’t be!” Ye Ling said. “If it’s really the case, the price to pay is too big for this show.”
Ye Ling said, “Our impression of the Black Rose basically came from the legend. Only a few people really knew the Black Rose’s strength. There were also just a few people who could understand which areas the Black Rose was impressive in. You have said before, you don’t want Tong Hua to go through all this, so… we have to go. Nothing ventured, nothing gained. You also want your Mom to wake up.”
Shen Qianshu slightly leaned against her knees. Ye Ling bent his body and gently embraced her. “Qianshu, I will accompany you.”
Regardless of where you go, I will always accompany you.
“Alright!”
…
Lady White was watching them from not far away. She was deep in thoughts. A girl walked over. “Lady White, a phone call from an elder.”
Lady White took the phone. “I’m handling it!”
…
“Both little gatekeepers have misgivings about us. I also feel that perhaps we are not sincere enough. Why not… we give her the antidote,” Lady White said. “If we give her the antidote, she should know our sincerity.”
…
“I can’t say who is the most suitable. Qianshu and Ye Ling are both suitable. It is just that… Ye Ling has inherited Auntie An’s illness. I’m afraid… ” Lady White paused and said. “No, he himself cannot control this illness. If he becomes crazy like Auntie in the future and his temperament changes drastically, what should we do?”
…
“Right, I feel that Qianshu is more suitable,” Lady White said as she looked at the two people snuggling up to each other in the desert. She smiled. “It is the same whoever we choose. They… are on very intimate terms!”
…
“Yes, it’s not a good thing,” Lady White said. “Elder, I’ll hang up first. Wait for my news.”
Lady White hung up the phone.
Mu Yuan walked over from behind. He had already made proper arrangements for his team and could leave immediately. The next thing was for the local government to negotiate. Lady White smiled as she greeted Mu Yuan. “Major, good afternoon!”
“Lady White, good afternoon. You speak Chinese quite well.”
“Yes. Two of our gatekeepers speak Chinese. Hence, there are many people in the Roses who speak Chinese well. I am also half Chinese,” Lady White smiled and said.
Her skin was fair, and there was a little freckle on the tip of her nose. At one glance, she was someone who did not go under the sun most of the time.
“I’m sorry, I want to ask you a private question. Is your Black Rose’s selection always this cruel?” Mu Yuan asked.
“Yes!” Lady White said. “Once every four years.”
“Oh, it’s the same as selecting the president. You all really keep up with the times.”
Lady White said, “No, we do not specifically have it once every four years. It is because the gatekeepers’ periods of incumbency are rather short. If the gatekeeper has always been incumbent, there will not be any selection.”
“Oh, then why are your gatekeepers’ periods of incumbency not long?” Mu Yuan asked. When he smiled, he was harmless to humans and animals. However, the question he asked was rather crafty and very sharp.
Lady White’s face did not change. “Since Fang Hongxiu, the Roses have been in turmoil. We have been divided into the technology group, primitive group, and radical group. Three parties have been fighting over power. After Fang Hongxiu betrayed the Roses, she became the fuse that caused internal friction. After Aventura became the successor, she washed her hands off due to relationship problems. We started to have internal problems, and this had continued for so many years. Hence, we were blinded by Yang Ping.”
Mu Yuan said, “Oh… so how much is the annual salary of your gatekeeper? This is such a dangerous occupation.”
