Gu Qiaoqiao’s clear eyes shifted slightly as she slowly pushed Qin Yize away, yet still stayed very close.

“Is it a legend?”

Qin Yize didn’t answer but took Gu Qiaoqiao’s hand, speaking gently. “Since you want to know, we can talk while we walk.”

Gu Qiaoqiao’s hand was enveloped in Qin Yize’s large one.

Gu Qiaoqiao looked down at her hand, not knowing how many times this had happened.

Habit is a fearsome thing.

Her hand had already become accustomed to Qin Yize’s occasional touches.

It had been the same when they’d come here.

Had her vigilance decreased, or did her heart not oppose it?

Gu Qiaoqiao moved her fingers and looked around, feeling eerily spooked.

She fell silent, letting Qin Yize lead her back the way they came.

They walked slowly.

It seemed as if they were leisurely walking on a pathway paved by the moonlight.

As if, by walking, they might find themselves on the moon.

Moments later, Qin Yize spoke in a deep voice, “In the Old Imperial Capital, there’s talk of the North Third Gate.”

“North Third Gate?”

“Yes, it refers to the three Mystic Sect schools north of the River.”

Gu Qiaoqiao chuckled, “Schools? Are you telling me a martial arts novel?”

“Art comes from life, and not everything is made up, of course, the incidents I’m talking about are all pre-liberation, after which those Mystic Sects were all disbanded.”

“How do you know about that then?” Gu Qiaoqiao tilted her head to ask.

“When I was in high school, the school gatekeeper told me…” Qin Zize’s voice was gentle and flowing, like water.

“Ah, why would that gatekeeper know?” Gu Qiaoqiao felt a bit mystified.

“Perhaps he heard about it, or maybe he was originally part of the Mystic Sect.”

“Qin Yize, do you believe in these things?”

“Believing and understanding aren’t the same thing,” Qin Yize’s lips curled into a half-smile.

“Qin Yize, then who exactly comprises the North Third Gate?”

Qin Yize stopped, turned to look at the young girl beside him, the soft moonlight reminding him of something, “Qiaoqiao, I remember you used to call me Brother Ah Ze…”

Brother Ah Ze?

Gu Qiaoqiao paused for a moment, had she ever called him that?

Apparently, she had.

When they had first met.

Gu Qiaoqiao pursed her lips.

Qin Yize’s voice was teasing, “Qiaoqiao, call me Brother Ah Ze, and I’ll tell you who exactly the North Third Gate is, and there’s more you don’t know.”

Gu Qiaoqiao blinked her watery eyes and glanced at Qin Yize.

Today, Qin Yize was only wearing a white shirt and neat trousers, with the breeze tousling his fine hair, looking much like a freshman just entering college.

Gu Qiaoqiao shook her head.

“Call me Brother Ah Ze, and I can also tell you that someone from a Mystic Sect has recently taken up their ancestral profession again,” Qin Yize temptingly persisted.

Gu Qiaoqiao still shook her head.

She couldn’t bring herself to say it.

And besides, that shy girl who used to call him Brother Ah Ze would never return.

Moreover, she wasn’t very interested in the North Third Gate.

It had nothing to do with her.

You stubborn girl!

Qin Yize helplessly took Gu Qiaoqiao’s hand and continued walking forward.

Moments later, the man’s crisp voice echoed in the corridor.

“North Third Gate refers to the Heavenly Master Sect of the Zhang Family, who claim to be descendants of the Heavenly Master, the Mao Sect learned from Maoshan Taoists, and the Ghost Gate Tian Family…”
