3 months passed by just like that. Everyone got used to Headmaster Shen around and even seeks his advice upon needing to ascend a level. The instructor also did not give Headmaster Shen any trouble. At the same time, Headmaster Shen have obtained quite a few admires whom confessed to her multiple times but in the end she turn them all down with the utmost caring reasons. She never humiliate any of them for turning them down nor treated them unfairly or differently afterward. Even if people were to find out, it came out naturally normal and does not cause any ruckus. ‘
However, there was one whom never gave up on the matter of the heart. She always seeks Headmaster Shen everywhere and waits for him everywhere telling him her problems and how she felt. It’s late at night when Xiaolian stayed late to read books in the very top floor, the female student named Mu Anying stood outside of the library to wait for Headmaster Shen. She knew Headmaster Shen was still inside reading books so she did not want to interrupt him. Many people comes and go and saw Mu Anying outside. Majority already knew who she was waiting for but dare not pay any attention to her. They all knew how many times Headmaster Shen had rejected her already. Some laughed at her, some admires her persistent, and some pitied her, and of course, some hated her because she have the look. Mu Anying has red blazing color hair with curtain bangs. Her hair was held up in a neat high ponytail very long to the butt. Many approaches her to confessed to her but she too, turn them away.
The people that she rejected rejoice over the matter of she getting turn down by Headmaster Shen, but she can careless. She waited patiently for Headmaster Shen at the door. Inside the library, Xiaolian can see her shadow standing outside waiting for her. She sigh and shook her head, ‘She is really pretty but I am also a female… I am sorry ah little sister I hope you give up the idea of me,’ she said in her head. She walks down the stairs and headed to the door and greeted Mu Anying, “Student Mu Anying, is there anything I can help you?” She smiles looking at Mu Anying.

Mu Anying looks at Xiaolian and blushes, “Well… I wanted to invite you to the Moon Festival in the Capital. I know you don’t like me, but I’ve made a bet with some people and would really want you to agree to go with me. Just this once, please?” She looks at Xiaolian with a pleading eyes like she is going to cry if the answer is no.
Xiaolian looks away and sigh with a smile, “Okay, just this once. Come, let me take you back to your room before I head out.” She said leading her the way back to her room safely. Mu Anying feel so happy in the moment. She just kept smiling non-stop as she sway her body back and forth following suit and as her red hair ponytail sway side to side beautifully.
After Mu Anying got to her room, Xiaolian left. She open the door and suddenly saw a black dark figure inside sitting at the table sipping tea lazily. He have dark hair with red eyes. His hair was beautifully put up in a high ponytail with a beautiful red crown. His hair was puffy not flat looking. He had bangs and are sorted or shifted to the right of his face leaving his side burns on both side of his face. He have a very handsome face and a very majestic aura when one upon seeing him. She quickly closes the door shut and ran to him pouting, “Brother… Why are you here?”
Her brother looks at her and ask, “Was that the man you said you liked?” He ignores her and question her instead. She just gave him a slight nod. He sets the teacup down on the table and stand up to look at her. “No one have ever turn down Demon Realm’s princess who do he think he is to not like you? Shall I teach him a lesson?”

Mu Anying shook her head, “He is a very good person though he rejected me many times, he was nice about it and never treated me differently. He still help me and give me advices when I need them. I asked him out for the Moon Festival 3 days from now and he finally agreed to go to help me out. Brother, on that day you can see him for yourself.” She smiles, “And see if he is worthy of my feelings.”
The dark figure with a beautiful face smiles and nodded calmly, “Alright. I should let imperial brother knows about this as well.” Mu Anying quickly shook her head, “No don’t! Imperial brother will kill him if he find out he rejected me multiple times!” The black figure laughs, “Seems like you really cared for this Headmaster Shen. Do not worry, maybe imperial brother can even help you get together with him.” He raise his eyebrow playfully as if it has meaning behind his words.
Mu Anying blushes, “Yihang ge!” Her older brother’s name was Mu Yihang. She pursed her lips. She changes the topic, “Ge, what do you think I should wear? I have to be the most beautiful at the Moon Festival or else I’d lose a lot of face. I do not want to lose to anyone.”
Mu Yihang looks at her and walks off, “Do not worry, let your brother take care of it. Your outfit will arrive before the Moon Festival.” With that, he walks off and vanish into thin air. Mu Anying stays back smiling thinking about how happy she’d be if she can impress Headmaster Shen on that night with her beauty and changes his mind to love her would be so great.

Xiaomi receives a letter from Xiaolian about the Moon Festival. She was so excited that Xiaolian sent a letter to tell her to go out that day and she will personally even come to pick her up. She told Zhan Ziyuan about it and he agreed to let her go out. He said he’d even go out that day as well to visit the academy and Xiaolian.

She must also cover her face with a white veil translucent cloth or else she will not be allow to step outside. He does not want any attention coming his way or her way.
Zhan Ziyuan looks at Xiaomi and said, “Do not blame me, Xiaomi.

Xiaomi nods her head, “No problem it is no big deal,” she receives the robes and took off smiling in happiness. She is most happy because she is going to get to see the outside world and her sister. As for the rest, she can careless.

The Gatekeeper
Quick Synopsis:This is the story of Reylor, a god-like existence who lost a great portion of his strength when accidentally sent from his “home” to another world. Making friends and learning to harness to power of magic, he maintains his commitment to his prior duty and proceeds to fight against corruption, both on a political front and against what is known as the shade.(Note, this story focuses on action and adventure, so politics are not in depth) This has been my first novel, which was primarilly inteded as a learning experience, and so it may be a bit rough in regards, but it should definitely be readable and it is a full story. I may make some adjustments to it later on, but there's no guarantee... anyhow, it's free to read, so give it a go! Also, feel free to check out my new website: aretornovels.wordpress.com
