In the office, there is only one person in charge.
This shows his trust in Qin Fan.
"Sit down!"
The superior who was drinking tea smiled slightly and said to the chair next to the wall.
Qin Fan was not polite, he sat down directly, looked up, and asked calmly: "I took the liberty to come here this time, mainly because I have something to ask you!"
When facing superiors, Qin Fan used honorific titles. Whether it was his discerning eyes or his constant care for him, he was worthy of Qin Fan's respect.
The superior smiled slightly, showing an expression that he had expected: "You want to ask the gatekeeper about something, right?"
"It seems that you have guessed it, so please tell me everything you can say!" Qin Fan looked calm and was not surprised that the superior guessed his purpose. After all, a person who can achieve this position must be
Not a general person.
The superior thought for a while, put down the tea cup, and sighed softly: "I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you this time. Even I don't know much about the gatekeeper."
"If you have any questions, just ask, I'll tell you everything."
This time, Qin Fan was a little surprised: "I didn't expect that even you don't know the specific situation of the gatekeeper!"
"Supposedly, if you can hide the secret so deeply, the gatekeeper must be very important. How could he be killed by me so easily?"
The superior smiled and said: "Who told you that there is only one gatekeeper?"
Qin Fan was slightly startled, and then said with a sudden look on his face: "I understand."
He was bound by his preconceptions, thinking that the mysterious and unusual gatekeeper must be a very powerful being.
However, after being told by his superiors, he suddenly understood.
When he was at the Ye family, Zhao Desheng kept saying that he had killed the Zhao family's gatekeeper. Judging from this, the Li family, the Wang family and the Zhang family must each have a gatekeeper.
"What exactly are the gatekeepers guarding?" Qin Fan asked again.
The superior shook his head: "I don't know about this, but it is true that the gatekeepers are responsible for the safety of everyone in the world."
Looking at Qin Fan's slightly frowned brows, the superior added: "But according to the information I have secretly investigated over the years, the gatekeeper should be related to a third-grade practitioner."
Qin Fan said softly: "Third-grade extraordinary realm!"
"Yes, practitioners of the four major systems can only be considered truly extraordinary if they enter the third level. But there have been basically no third-level practitioners for so many years, so I guess the place guarded by the gatekeeper should be where the practitioner enters the third level.
That’s the key.”
Qin Fan nodded and remembered what the grandmaster of the Li family said before he died at the Ten Thousand Shang Conference.
At that time, in order to threaten Qin Fan and prevent Qin Fan from killing him, the grandmaster threatened Qin Fan as a gatekeeper, saying that if Qin Fan killed him, it would be equivalent to ending his path to martial arts.
Qin Fan didn't understand the meaning of that sentence at the time, but now that he thinks about it, he probably meant that the gatekeeper was no longer there to open the door to the third-level realm for Qin Fan.
Although the practitioners in this world are very weak compared to the real immortal cultivators, taking warriors as an example, the higher the realm of warriors, the stronger the strength and the closer they are to the immortal cultivators.
The most powerful warrior Qin Fan has seen now is only a martial arts master at the peak level, that is, the peak of the fifth level.
There are four levels above, and then there is the third level of extraordinary realm.
The strength of the martial arts masters at the peak level cannot be underestimated. You can imagine how powerful the warriors at the third-level extraordinary level will be.
It is estimated that a third-grade transcendent realm warrior should be comparable to a true immortal cultivator.
"Where exactly is the place guarded by the gatekeeper? It can allow practitioners to reach the third level of extraordinary realm. This place must be extraordinary."
Qin Fan guessed that the place where a practitioner's cultivation level can skyrocket is either the Cave Heaven Blessed Land with rich spiritual energy, or the inheritance of a strong person.
Qin Fan's feeling is that he is more inclined to the latter.
Suppose there is a very powerful practitioner who leaves a legacy in his cave for future generations. However, he is afraid of being taken away by others, so he leaves a gatekeeper to prevent outsiders from entering.
This idea is more reasonable.
However, since there is a gatekeeper, there must be someone who can enter.
So who is this person who comes in?
Of course, this is just Qin Fan's guess. The truth needs to be investigated slowly.
Qin Fan put aside the question that he couldn't understand for the time being: "Since the gatekeeper is at risk for the safety of everyone in the world, will it have any impact if I kill the Zhao family gatekeeper?"
The superior shook his head: "It doesn't matter, the gatekeeper is not always the same. If you kill the Zhao family gatekeeper, someone will naturally take his place."
"The gatekeepers, like those martial arts sects, are passed down from generation to generation."
Qin Fan nodded and stood up: "Thank you for clarifying my doubts. But there is still something I am worried about, which is the safety of the Ye family..."
The superior smiled and said: "Don't worry, I have brought Yang Yue back, and together with Ye Qingcheng, it is enough to protect the Ye family."
"Well, that makes me feel relieved."
Qin Fan recognized Yang Yue's strength. With him helping Ye Qingcheng, there was no need to fear even the revenge of the four major families.
"Then I'll go back first." Qin Fan said goodbye.
The superior personally walked him to the door and looked at Qin Fan with kind eyes, as if he were looking at his own nephew.
"I won't send you off. Remember to think twice before doing anything in the future, and try not to make too much noise, lest it ends badly for me."
"Okay, I remember."
When Qin Fan returned to the hotel, the front desk told him that Professor Yan and others had gone back first and left him a message asking him to return as soon as possible after finishing his work.
Qin Fan didn't stop and bought a bus ticket back to Nanling College that day.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Qin Fan returned to the college.
I thought that everyone should be in class at this time, but I didn't expect that as soon as I returned to the college gate, I saw a group of girls holding a banner.
It reads: Welcome to Qin Fan, the champion of the 18th Biology Communication Conference, for his triumphant return!
The dean and Professor Yan personally brought people to greet him.
Qin Fan took a look and saw that the queue behind the gate had reached the dormitory building. It was estimated that all the students in the college were here.
This battle made Qin Fan a little embarrassed.
The dean personally stepped forward, took Qin Fan's hand cordially, and laughed heartily: "Classmate Qin Fan, congratulations on winning the supreme honor for the college this time!"
"The dean gave me the award because Professor Yan taught me well." Qin Fan said politely.
"Hey, Qin Fan, don't put your hat on me, I'm not qualified to teach you." Professor Yan didn't dare to accept this.
The smile on the dean's face became even thicker: "Okay, okay, classmate Qin Fan has won such a great honor for the college, and he is not proud at all. This mentality is beyond my reach!"
"Today our college will suspend classes for half a day just to welcome the return of the king!"
"please!"
The dean made an invitation gesture and personally opened the way for Qin Fan.
"Qin Fan, Qin Fan..."
The students took the initiative to get out of the way, and both men and women shouted Qin Fan's name.
Qin Fan followed the dean all the way into the college and saw many familiar people.
Zhao Haiqing who kept giving him thumbs up, Xia Baihe with a sad look on his face, Murong Linger with a face full of joy from the bottom of his heart, and Luo Yuhuan with a peaceful smile...
No matter what happened before, at this moment, he is the hero in the hearts of all his classmates.
