Chapter 108 His surname is Zhuge
Gu Bai slept soundly until dawn, feeling very at ease.
Gu Qingyi and the others were out of luck; they were called out in the middle of the night and were extremely busy.
Gu Bai woke up and glanced at his phone, which was filled with payment notifications: "You shopped online?"
Tai Sui: "I bought a phone, a phone stand, a phone case, and all that stuff. If you won't buy it for me, I'll buy it myself."
"So, isn't that still spending my money? I just mentioned it yesterday, and you bought it. I was originally planning to buy it for you offline." Gu Bai said irritably, "I'll get you a SIM card later."
"I don't have an ID card."
"You can get a secondary SIM card. Data and call charges will be deducted from my main SIM card. I haven't learned anything else, but I've learned online shopping pretty quickly."
Tai Sui said, "I also bought a few things; you should like them."
"What is it?" Gu Bai asked疑惑地, "Do you know what I like?"
"I don't know what you like, but I know what your eyes like."
Gu Bai: "..."
Aren't my eyes you?
He took the phone, glanced at the items Tai Sui had purchased, and frowned, saying, "What kind of junk did you buy? Jelly?"
Tai Sui: "Kids like it, and there's a welfare home nearby."
Gu Bai asked in surprise, "You're quite kind-hearted, donating jelly to children?"
Tai Sui: "No, that's not it. I've been watching a TV series recently, and it's about kidnapping and trafficking children. They can lure them away with candy or something. If I buy a bunch of jelly, wouldn't I be able to empty out the orphanage? It'll be a good opportunity to test it out."
Gu Bai: "..."
You have a serious illness.
Children have very little yang energy; it is the strong, healthy men who have the most abundant yang energy.
"Didn't I tell you we should pretend to be ordinary people, not hunt on our own? If you come with me, you won't go hungry!"
Gu Bai angrily swiped his phone. His phone had a bunch of new friends, all of them saying things like, "Help the child! The child is so pitiful, he's never had a proper meal."
You're a total jerk, you got scammed?
I wasn't scammed, I didn't make any money, I just bought jelly.
The addresses these friends gave me were all for nearby welfare homes.
Tai Sui muttered to himself, "Having painstakingly learned so many skills, why don't I think I'll give them a try?"
"You've been scammed. Return all the jelly; it'll take three days for it to arrive," Gu Bai said.
"Scam?" Tai Sui's voice rose eight octaves: "You dare to scam me? Let's go, let's empty the orphanage right now."
"You better behave yourself now." Gu Bai flicked its body: "It's a scam, it has nothing to do with the orphanage. There's no way to find them through the internet."
Tai Sui: "Yes, I can find him. One of my friends is that old Taoist priest."
Gu Bai was taken aback: "Him? No, didn't he sleep last night?"
"I got up in the middle of the night to add you, but I didn't expect to add him. A lot of people added me and sent the same message. I thought he was one of his accomplices."
Tai Sui said, "Look, the one who said he would donate some snacks and books is him. Those who wanted to transfer money to donate were added later. You also said to go with the flow. Since he said so, I thought I'd take this opportunity to test my newly learned hunting skills and empty the orphanage."
Gu Bai returned all the items he bought online: "I'll go check it out later. If there really is an orphanage, I'll buy some and send some over."
He's not short of money now; a few snacks won't cost him much.
But is this old Taoist priest connected to the welfare home?
I brushed my teeth, washed my face, and stepped out of the room.
Guo Jin and Gu Xiaojiao were peeking cautiously from the old Taoist's doorway.
Gu Bai walked over in confusion, about to speak, when Gu Xiaojiao quickly made a shushing gesture.
With a puzzled look on his face, Gu Bai leaned over the two of them and cautiously peeked at them.
The door opened, and the old Taoist priest was slowly practicing his boxing inside, muttering incantations.
"What is he doing?" Gu Bai asked in a low voice.
Guo Jin said in a low voice, "Chen Lian is truly a master. In just half an hour, he switched between eight different martial arts styles, including Tai Chi, Bagua Formation, Xingyi Quan, and Mandarin Duck Leg, among other famous martial arts. He has already mastered many martial arts."
Gu Xiaojiao said solemnly, "I was initially dismissive, but I didn't expect him to actually have something."
Gu Bai and Tai Sui observed carefully and gradually sensed that something was wrong.
The old Taoist priest did indeed know many martial arts, but they all seemed like mere showmanship, with each skill consisting of only one or two moves.
Whenever Gu Bai felt that he was practicing according to the routine, the next move would be a completely different martial art, which was a bit like—practicing blindly.
However, when it comes to martial arts, Guo Jin is the authority.
Guo Jin looked at him with admiration: "Brother Bai, look at this. His martial arts switching is so smooth and natural. He has completely reached the point where he is not bound by routines and has reached the level of mastery where he can do whatever he wants. He is the most powerful martial arts master I have ever seen."
Gu Bai pondered, "Even more powerful than Yang Xi and Li Hongyi? What about Zhang Qingguan?"
These three are truly skilled martial arts masters, the real deal.
Gu Qingyi was a symbiotic bodhisattva who later surpassed her.
Guo Jin pondered, "It's hard to say. The three of them are also very powerful, they are martial arts masters, but considering his surname, they are at least grandmasters."
Gu Bai asked curiously, "A surname? An ancient martial arts family lineage?"
Gu Xiaojiao said, "I guess so, his surname is Zhuge."
Gu Bai asked in shock, "Really?"
In all his life, he had never met anyone with the surname Zhuge in either of his two lifetimes. Today, he had truly broadened his horizons.
Guo Jin said, "When he took out his bag this morning, he took out his ID card, which I saw. It's just that his name doesn't sound very good."
"What's your name?"
"Zhuge Liang is not wise."
Gu Bai: "??"
This name... are you sure you didn't misread it?
The old Taoist priest was very flustered at the moment, glancing at the door every now and then, but not daring to be too obvious.
Scammers are masters of keen observation and keen hearing, always aware that others are watching them.
Having established his "master" persona, he decided to put on an act during his morning exercise.
Based on my past experience, the customer should come over and say a few words while he's gesturing a couple of times, and then start the next stage of making money.
But I've been gesturing for half an hour, and they've been peering in through the door for half an hour, so why won't they come in and talk to me? They're just peeking from there.
I've almost exhausted all the moves I've seen on TV, and my old arms and legs can't take it anymore. Should I speak first?
What are they whispering about?
As I get older, my hearing deteriorates, and I can't hear anything clearly anymore.
Tai Sui: "What are we going to do today?"
Gu Bai: "Go with the flow and find him at the orphanage. Since he's decided to get involved, he should show some real skills. Let's go with the flow."
After saying that, he stood up and went inside: "Master Zhuge, your martial arts are extraordinary, you are clearly a master of martial arts."
The old Taoist priest breathed a sigh of relief and stopped. They had finally arrived.
Gu Xiaojiao quickly followed him inside: "Master, your predictions are so accurate! Last night I was almost forced to commit suicide, but luckily there were security guards watching over me."
The old Taoist priest's legs trembled. "How could you be so accurate? Has my mouth become a jinx?"
Guo Jin said, "Last night, the guesthouse where the Taoist priest was staying was visited by a neighbor who was murdered. The cause of death is under investigation, and Yang Xi and the others went to help with that last night."
"Next to the Old Taoist's Inn?" The old Taoist was startled and stared intently at Guo Jin.
Guo Jin nodded, his face full of apology and guilt: "Yes, it's in the room to your left. If we hadn't let the master stay here last night, he might have been able to save him."
The old Taoist priest's heart pounded wildly, and he said with grief, "Alas, I helped you avert your calamity, but I suffered a backlash. I should have been the one to bear the consequences, but I never expected that it would affect my neighbors."
"Master, you told me last night that you were going to donate some things to the orphanage. We also plan to do some good deeds, so let's go donate now," Gu Bai said.
The old Taoist priest's eyes lit up: "Good, good, you have a kind heart. The children are suffering, so don't ask for too much. Just buy some snacks."
"Looking after the kids? Let's do it together, we'll buy some things too," Gu Xiaojiao and Guo Jin quickly said.
