32 He must become my disciple! (2/2)

Tanaka's exclamation of \”I knew it!!!! You must be the Guy Mao Lu's with!!!!\” rang out.

Fei Bing Bing gasped, her mind racing, \”Could it be true! Could this be the guy Mao Lu has a crush on.\” She looked at the sweat across Chàng Bo's naked torso. \”OH MY, OH MY, OH MY, OH MY. Don't tell me he and Mao Lu really have been up to no good and doing who knows what for an entire week just like Tanaka said!!!???.\”

Fei Bing Bing's mind raced with all kinds of scenes, her cheeks got increasingly redder as her imagination escalated.

Zhao Detong's brain had been slightly blank, wondering who this foreigner was, when Tanaka had exclaimed 'I knew it'.

\”Ahhh so he's Mao Lu's boyfriend, are we disturbing something then, should I tell everyone to leave. We can always have the housewarming party another time.\” Detong contemplated.

Frank Wang was thinking, \”Damn, how does someone get muscles like that. I've been going to the gym everyday for a year and I still haven't got biceps and abdominal muscles like that. What is his routine? Does he have a personal trainer he can recommend me?\”

Bei Lao tightened his grip around Tanaka's arm as he thought, \”I don't like the way Tanaka is staring at that guy.\”

Fang Kai found this all too funny, \”Omg so much drama!\” He internally cheered.

Qi Zhou was still wondering, \”How is Chàng Bo connected to Gatekeeper Lu?\”

Whilst Tanaka was inwardly dancing. \”Mao Lu scored!!!!! Where did he find this Hunk of a man, did he fall out of the sky because he looks like an angel. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) I'm sure Mao Lu has had plenty of fun this last week. Hehehehhehehehhehehe.\”

Chàng Bo stared at them all blankly. The words Tanaka had said, sounded like nonsense to his ears.

He had yet to learn any languages from this planet named Earth. So he couldn't understand what the little mortal had shouted.

Chàng Bo switched to the Universal Realm Tongue (URT), and said \”This is Gatekeeper Mao Lu's residence. I do not know what your purpose is for visiting, and I see that you bear gifts\” His eyes glanced over the bags and containers of food in their hands, \”But that doesn't mean you can meet the Gatekeeper. I suggest you leave your gifts here and turn away. I will mention your visit to him.\”

Tanaka, Bei Lao, Zhao Detong, Fei Bing Bing, Fang Kai, and Frank Wang froze. \”What language was that!!!\” They all internally screamed.

\”That wasn't English or French, I only know those two languages!!!!\” Fei Bing Bing mentally panicked, her thoughts along the same lines as the rest of them.

Chàng Bo wasn't surprised when he saw the confused looks on the mortals faces. Mortals who lived in mortal realms didn't tend to know URT, however he hadn't spoken it for them, he'd spoken it for the mage practitioner among them. He was sure she would understand his words.

Qi Zhou felt a growing migraine. She'd thought that meeting Gatekeeper Lu with his mortal friends would have her own stroke of luck. He was a newly instated Gatekeeper that was adjusting to to his new role. If she could get into his good books and make herself a servant of his in his early days, then she basically assured herself a golden future and a high status. And with that high status she'd finally be able to achieve her goal.

Yet it seemed Gatekeeper Lu had already gotten himself a high-level servant, Chàng Bo. This was going to be harder then she thought.

\”I wonder how Gatekeeper Lu was able to get Chàng Bo on his side. Chàng Bo is a heaven defying absolute genius, I would have never have thought he would be the type to become a servant to anyone, even a Gatekeeper. I wonder what their connection is.\”

As she thought this she replied in URT, \”We are not normal guests of the Gatekeeper. These mortals are his personal close friends and acquaintances from before he was appointed. It is best that you do not turn them away.\”

Chàng Bo raised a perfect eyebrow.

Before being appointed, a Gatekeeper could be anyone, a Father, a Queen, a King, a Mother, a famed Practitioner and so on. When they became Gatekeepers, their close relations were usually also seen as royalty within their Realm. Moa Lu having close mortal friends from before his instatement wasn't anything unusual. Chàng Bo was simply surprised because he'd had no forewarning that these close friends were coming to visit.

He didn't for a second think Qi Zhou was lying to him, because them being personal relations of the Gatekeeper made sense. How else were they able to get so close to the residence, and why would mortals be visiting. Also Chàng Bo was revolving his mental skill, Heaven's grace, within his head, and he could see the honesty emanating off of Qi Zhou's words.

\”Ahhh I see. I wasn't told you were coming.\” Chàng Bo said casually as he released a little bit of his aura and directed it towards Qi Zhou. He didn't like the tone she used when she spoke to him. Did she not realise he was a Dao stage practitioner? She wasn't even close to the Nascent stage yet, she was still basically Mortal trash in Chàng Bo's eyes.

Qi Zhou felt an overpowering aura sliding down her like icy water. It wasn't enough to make her crumple or lose her composure, but it was enough for a warning.

Immediately Qi Zhou looked to the floor and tried not to make eye contact with him, as she said in a respectful dialect. \”My Lord forgive me for my rudeness before, and forgive me for none of the forewarning. The mortals who are close to Gatekeeper Lu wished to throw him a party...they did try to inform the Gatekeeper but he must have been too busy to realise.\”

\”Oh you're calling me 'My Lord' now? Huh, I see you're the type only to be polite when you feel a knife at your throat. Pathetic.\”

Chàng Bo glanced at the group of mortals. \”Well Mao Lu stepped out for a bit to go to a meeting. I'm not sure when he'll be back but whatever...you can all just come in.\”

….

Frank Wang and the rest of the group were surprised and impressed at Qi Zhou.

\”What language is that?\” Zhao Detong whispered to Frank.

\”I have no idea, but I'm not surprised Qi Zhou can speak it. She used to live in USA and she went to an international school, so she's fluent in English and she told me she knows many other languages too.\”

\”Ahhh that's so cool. I can only speak Japanese and Chinese. I want to learn more languages.\” Bei Lao muttered.

\”That's way better than me. I'm not like the rest of you guys, all I know is Chinese\” Fang Kai sighed a little.

There eyes drifted back and forth between the two and they slightly noticed the change in formality that Qi Zhou spoke with.

When their short conversation ended Qi Zhou looked back at them. \”I told him who we are and he says Mao Lu isn't here, apparently Mao Lu stepped out to go to a meeting just before we got here. He doesn't know when Mao Lu will be back but he says we can come in.\”

\”He went to a meeting! Just now, and we missed him! Urgggh that's so annoying. I hope he's back soon!!!\” Fei Bing Bing whined.

\”Tanaka!!!\” Bei Lao yelled.

They were all rather loud as they entered the residence. The only one that remained silent was Zhao Detong, \”He went to a meeting? Without his car? He could have gotten a lift or a taxi but hmmm….I don't know something feels weird here\” he thought.
