A chill ran down Shen Qianshu’s spine. She had an indescribable sense of fear. She had a blurred idea in her heart which flashed past swiftly. It was so fast that she almost could not make it out clearly. Gu Yuanli frowned and said softly, “Black Rose is an abyss. The people who went in have never come out before. Even if it is powerful, it is complicated internally. There is no one person who can have the support of the masses. They place importance on ceremonies. The gatekeeper has to pass the assessment and is also required to have the Blood Rose. The Black Rose now is only representing the gatekeeper.”
“What kind of assessment?”
“I don’t know,” Gu Yuanli said. “Nobody knows except for the elders of Black Rose. Black Rose urgently needs a gatekeeper now.”
“Me?”
“Or Ye Ling.”
Shen Qianshu’s face was pale. The tips of her fingers were slightly trembling. She was also a little hesitant. “Does Master know?”
Gu Yuanli shook his head. “This is what I guessed from my conversation with Black Rose. As for the specifics, I am also not necessarily clear. However, I am not far off. Their assessment is a close shave with death. Aventura and Mom had passed it together back then. Hence, two gatekeepers had emerged. This is also the biggest mystery in the history of Black Rose. You and Ye Ling are the offspring of Mom and Aventura. Hence, her attention is now fixed on the two of you.”
“She wants to have a gatekeeper to lead the Black Rose. She made use of the power she had to threaten others because she only had the power of a representative of the gatekeeper. She did not have the gatekeeper’s power. There are a lot of differences between the two. Nonetheless, you cannot go to the Black Rose.” Gu Yuanli looked at Shen Qianshu fixedly. “Regardless of whatever reasons, you are not allowed to go. The Black Rose is a secret organization that has been passed on for nearly 200 years. But there have only been five gatekeepers altogether in history, including Aventura and Mom. There are just a few people in a few hundred years. You can imagine the danger. Furthermore, the longest life of the successor to the gatekeeper is Mom. This is because she is in a vegetative state. Most of them have been assassinated before they turned 30 years old.”
“They will naturally not live long.” Shen Qianshu scoffed. “A person who has such strong powers will naturally be coveted by others and get killed. This is all done by the people internally.”
Gu Yuanli nodded his head. “Yes. Hence, regardless of what the Black Rose said to you, you should not believe her. Not to mention, walking with her alone.”
“You… really understand the Black Rose.”
“I guessed most of it. It may not be necessarily accurate,” Gu Yuanli said. “I hid your identity as I was afraid that the people from the Black Rose would find you. Shen Lin and you were swapped. Shen Lin had grown up in a welfare home. Since young, I had seen her getting bullied as she grew up. But besides sponsoring her school fees, there was nothing else I could help her. I could only look as a bystander. I was afraid of being noticed by people, and hence I was always at a distance. When your identities were exposed, I was happy because you had never suffered being in the Shen family for 15 years. Subsequently, you went to France. I thought you had a sum of inheritance. As you became an adult and was also talented, I assumed you would surely live very well. Hence, I let go and did not bother. If I had known that you would meet Ye Ling… ”
“Luckily, you had let go.”
If she had sufficient money back then, it was impossible for her to be Ye Ling’s caretaker.
After all, she had also been pampered and was arrogant. It was impossible for her to do this kind of work.
As she thought this way, she had a lingering fear. There were many little opportunities in life. Once they were missed, they were really gone forever. When they were met, your whole life would be brightened up.
“My fate with Master is destined.”
This was exactly what this phrase meant—you and I were originally not fated; it was all because of you throwing money!
