Chapter 1122 - The Black Rose’s World (1/2)

Ruan Miaomiao said, “We need a ruler. We are not gatekeepers, and we are unable to get the support of the masses. We can only place our hopes on you all. You all have emerged victorious in the selection and are considered to have passed the gatekeeper’s assessment.”

Shen Qianshu asked, “You all have a selection once every four years. How many people have had to die because of this?”

“This is our rule.”

“We also never force anyone to take part.”

“If you want to change this kind of system, you can be our gatekeeper.”

…

The few of them spoke their minds and each had his or her own reasoning.

Ye Ling had been silent all along.

Shen Qianshu asked, “Why were your gatekeepers’ lives so short?”

“Our internal department had a fierce clash of intentions. The first appointed gatekeeper was plotted against. As for the others, they had their own tragedies. Hongxiu and Fei Er were… it was the fight they had amongst the three of them that was the cause.”

Shen Qianshu said, “They seemed to be cursed, wasn’t it?”

The few of them were startled. Indeed, the outside world had rumored that the Black Rose seemed to be cursed. Its gatekeeper could not live beyond 30 years old. The only one who had lived past 30 years old was a living dead now.

“Qianshu, if you believe in this kind of matter, then it’s true. Otherwise, it is not true,” Ruan Miaomiao said. “I’m an atheist.”

The few of them nodded their heads and looked at Ye Ling one after another. They wanted to know his opinion very much.

It was inevitable that they had to choose one out of two as the gatekeeper.

Shen Qianshu held Ye Ling’s hand tightly. Ye Ling asked, “You all have checked on me so clearly, and you should know what kind of person I am. If you want me to be the gatekeeper, your motive is not that simple.”
