The heavy rain weakened and turned into a continuous drizzle.
Gu Bai woke up from his sleep and ate breakfast.
Tai Sui asked in bewilderment, "You have no sense of taste, and they haven't come. What's the point of having breakfast? It'll taste like cardboard."
Gu Bai said calmly, "I am a human now. Even a martial artist who has cultivated true qi still needs grains, water, and food."
My past self, who avoided people and didn't eat, was ultimately a flaw.
Now that he can make up for this, he naturally doesn't want to reveal any flaws.
After breakfast, Gu Qingyi and Yanran arrived, both feeling chilly.
"Where's Gu Xiaojiao? Is he pretending to be Jesus in his room again?" Yanran asked.
"He went downstairs for breakfast. What's wrong with you guys? You're all like ice cubes," Gu Bai asked, feigning ignorance.
Yanran sighed and rested her arm on the sofa armrest: "Don't even mention it. I was exhausted last night and only managed to catch a little bit of yin energy. Qin Dayou's tea isn't with you, so hurry up and make a cup so we can calm down."
Gu Bai started boiling water: "What happened to you last night that you were able to sense yin energy?"
"Zhang Qing, I didn't expect him to have an accomplice. It's just a bit strange."
Yanran recalled last night's battle: "He clearly wanted to kill Qingyi and even made a move, but at the crucial moment, he suddenly turned against her and attacked his own teammates."
Zhang Qing's silk thread malfunctioned last night; otherwise, he might have succeeded.
"Is that so?" Gu Bai asked in surprise. "Could it be that he didn't want to kill? Or was he just joking?"
"It doesn't seem like it." Gu Qingyi pondered, "His killing intent towards me is undeniable. He was surprised when the silk thread malfunctioned and panicked."
"Where are Zhang Qingguan and Old Wangba?" Gu Bai asked.
"He went out early this morning. That old bastard plans to use the same method as before to deal with Zhang Qing and find out the monster hiding in the shadows," Gu Qingyi said.
Gu Bai said, "The previous method? Was it to distribute Xuanwu wood carvings everywhere? I sold some wood carvings before, and they were all exploited."
"They can't possibly use all the wood carvings, and the old turtle could actually find those that he bought, but it would be too much of a commotion and would alert them."
Gu Qingyi explained, "This time, we secretly scattered the wooden carvings. When we arrived at the Thunderfire Refining Hall, we used the power of heavenly thunder to suppress these monsters."
"Good idea. On such a stormy day, the power of thunder is extremely strong." Gu Bai glanced at the rain outside the window:
J
"If the thunderstorms just weaken, will it still be of any use?"
Yanran chimed in, "The old turtle is gathering rainwater, so this thunderstorm won't weaken; it will only get stronger. We'll help too."
The three chatted, while the Bodhisattva remained silent, digesting the yin energy.
"We are all just ordinary people —"
The phone rang. Gu Bai glanced at it and answered, "Gu Xiaojiao, what's up?"
"Brother Bai, help! Yang Xi has been beaten up!" Gu Xiaojiao whispered.
"What?"
Gu Qingyi and Yanran got up at the same time and walked out of the room.
"I'll be right there." Gu Bai hung up the phone, frowning. "The one who checked in last night?"
"You know? You were sleeping so soundly last night, I thought you hadn't noticed," Tai Sui said.
"He didn't bother me, he was just sleeping, so I naturally couldn't be bothered with him." Gu Bai got up and walked outside.
He wasn't another kind of killer. As long as they weren't wreaking havoc everywhere, he would keep them as backup food instead of eating them one by one.
He considered himself a human being, lived among humans, and in some ways, he truly stood on the side of humanity.
Enter the elevator and go to the third floor.
Just as they stepped out of the elevator, Gu Xiaojiao flew backward and crashed heavily at their feet.
"Brother Bai————"
Gu Xiaojiao struggled to get up, his face bruised and swollen, and the phone in his hand was broken.
Yang Xi also had some bruises on her body and was tied to a chair.
A young man sat at the table, with a burly man standing beside him.
Gu Bai helped Gu Xiaojiao up and checked him over; it was just a superficial injury.
Gu Qingyi and Yanran walked over and were about to untie Yang Xi when the burly man stopped them, saying, "Gentlemen, my young master is having a meal. Please do not disturb him."
"Young Master? The Qing Dynasty has been gone for so many years, and you still call him Young Master? Are you from a club?" Yanran's gaze was icy as she stared directly at the young man: "Do you know who we are?"
The young man ate a salted duck egg with a spoon, his eyelids not even lifting, and said casually, "From the Public Security Bureau."
"Since you know—"
"Wu'an." The burly man took out an ID and looked at them disdainfully.
The group was taken aback. Yang Xi's face turned ashen: "Where in Wu'an are you from? You dare to lay a hand on me here? Aren't you afraid of being reported?"
The burly man sneered and uttered five words: "Sichuan Province, temporary worker."
We will repay you the way you treated us.
Tai Sui: "That kid is such a show-off, still eating salted duck eggs and not doing anything."
Gu Bai: "The people of Wu'an have the right to be arrogant, but they are reasonable and rule-abiding, so they are actually quite easy to deal with."
He remembered Li Qingfeng, whom he had just met, who was just as arrogant, until he met his mother.
"Does Wu'an mean you can just beat people up?" Gu Bai walked over, pulled up a chair, and sat down opposite the young man.
The young man remained unmoved, while the burly man squinted at Gu Bai: "Are you also from the police force?"
"This is my business card." Gu Bai placed a business card on the table; it was made for him by Wang Qing.
"Qingbai Carving Company, Gu Bai? Since it's not a matter of law enforcement, then this is none of your business," the burly man said coldly.
"Originally there wasn't, but you hit him, so now there is." Gu Bai pointed at Gu Xiaojiao: "He's a salesman under me, he has a contract, he's not a temporary worker."
"Isn't he a law enforcement officer?" The burly man looked at Gu Xiaojiao.
"No," Gu Bai said. "I came here for an inspection, and these security guards accompanied me to protect my safety. I can't interfere with your business, but beating my employee is unacceptable. I have reason to suspect that you were sent by our competitors to assassinate me."
The young man paused in his egg-eating spree and glanced at the burly man.
The burly man turned around and took out a wad of cash from his bag: "Sorry, this is 10,000 yuan to cover your medical expenses."
Gu Bai yawned: "Where did this nouveau riche come from? Ten thousand yuan might be enough to appease a beggar, but not an artist."
"How much do you want?" the burly man asked casually.
Gu Bai glanced at Gu Xiaojiao, whose face was bruised and swollen: "This face will take at least ten days to half a month to heal. I'll give you a discount, five million."
"Cough cough."
The young man choked on the salted duck egg he had just put in his mouth. He stared at Gu Bai in disbelief, while the burly man roared, "Are you robbing me?"
Gu Bai gave him a wink, and Gu Xiaojiao calmly pulled up his phone's payment records: "My daily sales are 480,000. How am I supposed to go out and do sales with this face? I've already let you off easy by not charging you for emotional distress."
"This is just for one day. You salespeople don't sell this much every day." The burly man's face turned red with anger.
"What if I can sell more?" Gu Xiaojiao was not intimidated at all, glaring at him: "You're not leaving today, I'm calling the legal department."
"Seal off their room first, and kick them out if they don't pay compensation," Gu Bai said calmly.
"Such arrogance, trying to kick us out? Do you think this hotel is run by anyone?" the burly man sneered.
"This hotel belongs to one of my business partners, they really have that kind of influence," Gu Bai said with a slight smile. "I'm a man of law and reason. It's not unreasonable for me to pay compensation for injuring someone, is it?"
The burly man opened his mouth, but was at a loss for what to do, so he looked at the young man.
Gu Bai also looked at the young man: "You can hit me if you want, but he's the top salesperson. I wouldn't dare hit him. If you do, who will make money for me in the future?"
The spoon in the young man's hand was deformed from being squeezed.
Damn it, I went out for a trip, had a meal, and now I'm bankrupt?
