"I can't possibly go and reason with those guys from the Qingcheng Sect, asking them why they're going to such lengths to deal with me, can I? Damn it, even their 'Sect Leader' has been alerted. It seems this is no joke!" Gao Jianfei shook his head bitterly. You see, offending such a group of internal martial arts forces is far more terrifying than offending the Song family or other powerful clans in the mortal world!
Of course, Gao Jianfei possesses the incredibly powerful software, the Super Ghost Instrument, so given time, he wouldn't fear the so-called Qingcheng Sect. However, the crucial point is that with the crisis looming, Gao Jianfei doesn't have much time left to grow his strength! Moreover, Gao Jianfei currently has a family to support, and his biggest fear is that the Qingcheng Sect might harm his family!
"I think, at a time like this, striking first is always the right thing to do!" Gao Jianfei muttered to himself. Then, he patted his forehead and said to Rao Guangbiao, "You should still remember what the two people who killed you looked like, right?"
“I remember! Even if they turn to ashes, I will remember!” Rao Guangbiao roared.
“Alright,” Gao Jianfei continued, “You said they were going back to the hotel to report. There are many hotels in Guangzhou. These guys probably won’t stay in a low-end hotel, and they probably won’t even bother with a mid-range one. The only high-end hotel in Guangzhou is undoubtedly the Huidong Hotel, the only four-star hotel in the city! Hmm, go and keep watch at the entrance of the Huidong Hotel. When you see someone going in to check into a room, go in with them and tell me their whereabouts. They want to track my movements, right? Well, I’ll strike first and find out their plans!” After a pause, Gao Jianfei added, “Also, you can eavesdrop on their plans. Then come back and report to me.”
"This..." Rao Guangbiao was stunned. "Brother Jianfei, I'm in this state. I'm just a lost soul. How can I go and gather intelligence for you?"
Gao Jianfei snapped his fingers. "No problem, I'll make the arrangements. Hmm, I'll grant you a second life!"
After saying that, Rao Guangbiao stared in disbelief as Gao Jianfei left its room and ran to the second floor of the Ghost Den to chat with the two young monks, Xuan Shui and Xuan Ku.
The two young monks treated Gao Jianfei politely and invited him to sit down.
"By the way, I wanted to ask you, what exactly is the Qingcheng Sect?" Gao Jianfei asked bluntly. Originally, Gao Jianfei had nothing to say to these two monks, but both of them belonged to the internal martial arts faction in contemporary society. Although Qingyan Cave Temple was considered the lowest of the low in the province's internal martial arts circle, they were still part of that circle and knew much more about it than Gao Jianfei did.
"Ah?" Xuan Shui gasped. "Young Master Gao... the Qingcheng Sect is nothing, it's... it's one of the top internal martial arts forces in the province! Extremely terrifying! Extremely terrifying! The Qingcheng Sect could easily wipe out our Qingyan Cave Temple by sending out just one junior disciple. It's incomparable, incomparable. Amitabha, Young Master Gao, you haven't offended the Qingcheng Sect, have you?"
"It's not about whether I've offended anyone or not. The key issue is that, supposedly, the so-called leader of the Qingcheng Sect has personally issued an order to capture me alive. The Qingcheng Sect has also mobilized a large number of people to blockade ZG City and several surrounding cities. This time, they seem to be playing quite boldly." Gao Jianfei smiled. "Tell me, just how powerful is the Qingcheng Sect?"
"The Qingcheng Sect Leader personally issued the order to capture Benefactor Xiao Gao?" Xuan Shui and Xuan Ku screamed in surprise. After saying that, they fainted and remained unconscious for several seconds before waking up.
"Amitabha, young benefactor Gao, may you have good fortune." The two young monks spoke solemnly and compassionately.
"...Don't give me that nonsense," Gao Jianfei said angrily. "Tell me everything you know about the Qingcheng Sect!"
“Well, Young Master Gao, we at this level obviously don’t know much about the Qingcheng Sect. We only know that there are hundreds of internal martial arts sects, large and small, throughout the province, among which three are in charge: Emei, Qingcheng, and Tangmen. Among them, the Qingcheng Sect is a major sect of cultivation, and has been a blessed land for Taoists since ancient times. The Taoists in the sect can refine elixirs and are also proficient in profound internal martial arts. We heard our master say before that the Qingcheng Sect lacks a certain internal energy cultivation method, which is also a third-grade internal energy cultivation method!”
A Grade 3 internal skill is an internal skill that allows you to control 21 to 30 different paths!
"Even a poor internal energy cultivation technique is rank 3? And it can even refine pills?" Gao Jianfei rubbed his nose. "It seems quite powerful."
“So, Young Master Gao, remember to stay as far away from them as possible, and never confront them head-on,” Xuan Shui said. “Young Master Gao, you cannot defeat them. They are a Taoist sect with thousands of years of history, ethereal and otherworldly. How could mortals like you possibly contend with them?”
"Hide?" Gao Jianfei touched his nose and smiled noncommittally. Then, he asked with a somewhat serious tone, "Putting aside whether to hide or deal with it, one question I'm concerned about is... for example, if an internal martial arts force like the Qingcheng Sect can't deal with me, or can't find me, will they target my family?"
This is a crucial question.
If Gao Jianfei were alone, then, as the saying goes, "the barefoot have nothing to fear," and "one person's fullness means the whole family isn't hungry." He could then confidently and boldly contend with the Qingcheng Sect to the very end.
However, his family has always been Gao Jianfei's biggest weakness!
Therefore, he asked the two young monks for advice.
"Implicate family members?" Xuan Ku frowned. "This... Young Master Gao, you can rest assured about this. There are explicit rules in the internal martial arts circle. It is against martial ethics for people in this circle to deal with people from the secular world. If this gets out, they will be condemned. Family members are not to be harmed. This is a special rule in the internal martial arts circle! Not to mention the Qingcheng Sect, even a small force like our Qingyan Cave would not easily target anyone's family. The reason why our master, Master Huiyuan, played with so many innocent women was actually because of Sister Hong. She was the one who planned everything. If our master were to personally harm these innocent women, he probably wouldn't dare. Young Master Gao, think about it, if even a small sect like ours wouldn't dare to do something, would the Qingcheng Sect dare to do it? If this kind of thing gets out, the Qingcheng Sect's reputation of thousands of years will be completely destroyed!"
Yes, a powerful force that has been passed down for thousands of years can't even handle a young man, yet it goes so far as to harm and threaten other people's families. This is truly shameless, despicable, and shameful!
"Yes, I understand. That does lessen my concerns considerably." Gao Jianfei felt a little relieved.
Provided that his family is not harmed, Gao Jianfei can go all out and have a good time with the Qingcheng Sect!
“By the way, Young Master Gao, if you want to escape the Qingcheng Sect’s pursuit, there is another way,” Xuan Shui suddenly said.
"Hmm? Go ahead and tell me." Gao Jianfei pricked up his ears to listen.
“Young Master Gao, if you enjoy a great reputation in the mortal world, or have a good reputation in the circle of internal martial arts, then the Qingcheng Sect will have to think twice before making a move against you,” Xuan Shui explained.
Gao Jianfei nodded as if he understood, "I understand that having a great reputation in the world is simply about becoming a strong person in a certain field and being respected by the country and worshipped by the people; so how does one gain a good reputation in the circle of internal martial arts?"
Xuan Shui said, “Young Master Gao, generally speaking, those with superb medical skills in the internal martial arts circle are highly respected. You must know that fighting and killing are inevitable in the internal martial arts circle. As the saying goes, there is no first place in literature, but there is no second place in martial arts. Even we monks are competitive. Since there is fighting and killing, there will be injuries, some serious. And the injuries sustained by internal martial arts masters after a fight are not something that ordinary doctors in the secular world are good at treating. Therefore, healers who are good at treating various internal injuries and poisoning injuries are highly respected in the internal martial arts circle. If you, Young Master Gao, can become such a healer and treat more people in the internal martial arts circle, then at your command, there will definitely be people in the internal martial arts circle who will stand up for you and fight against the Qingcheng Sect!”
"Uh, now that you put it that way, I completely understand!" Gao Jianfei nodded. Analyzing the two young monks' words, he realized there was indeed some truth to them!
"I want to become a doctor! An outstanding doctor! I must!" Gao Jianfei's heart was once again filled with an intense desire for medical skills!
After learning Huang Feihong's medical skills, he was only good at setting bones and treating sprains and bruises. At best, he was an outstanding folk surgeon, but he didn't have a business license and was the kind of barefoot doctor.
Not enough!
Both young monks said that to become a respected and beloved healer in the internal martial arts circle, one must be skilled in treating various internal injuries and poisoning injuries!
Then, Gao Jianfei will immediately learn this medical skill in the Level 3 Ghost Realm!
Moreover, his mother's illness was something Gao Jianfei urgently needed to deal with!
It's fair to say that becoming a doctor, an extraordinary doctor, is now a matter of utmost urgency!
"Well, I've learned a lot from today's conversation with you. Thank you!" Gao Jianfei thanked the two young monks and left their room.
Then, they left the haunted house directly.
Chapter 216 Let's deal with Gao Jianfei together!
Chapter 216 Let's deal with Gao Jianfei together!
After leaving the Ghost Den, Gao Jianfei walked out of the outskirts of Yangfo Town, took a taxi, and returned to the city.
Previously, his conversation with Xuan Shui and Xuan Ku in the Ghost Den had given Gao Jianfei confidence! His determination to become an outstanding doctor was now as firm as a rock! Moreover, Gao Jianfei understood a principle... even underground forces would not easily harm the wives and children of their enemies, let alone immortal sects like the Qingcheng Sect!
Gao Jianfei didn't rush home; instead, he went to a boutique dog shop. This shop was located inside the Futaishan Tunnel. Unlike the dog market, this boutique mainly sold dog food and dog accessories. Of course, they also sold a small number of puppies. The dogs sold here were all small breeds, even… miniature dogs.
Gao Jianfei wasn't interested in looking at the dogs; he immediately chose a 3-month-old puppy.
Teacup Teddy Bear.
It can also be called a premium Teddy. This breed is said to be so small that it can fit into a teacup when it's a puppy! That shows just how enormous it is!
Gao Jianfei spent 4,500 yuan to buy a male dog, which he held in his hands; it was very delicate and cute.
Upon exiting the Futai Mountain Tunnel, Gao Jianfei immediately activated his basic ghost possession ability. The infrared scanner-like light spot directly detected the teacup-shaped teddy bear.
This little guy only needs to spend 10 exorcism points to successfully become possessed by a ghost!
"Hey, Rao Guangbiao, I said I'd give you a second life, and I'll definitely keep my word. But, well, I guess I'm sorry to have wronged you. Given your status as a high-ranking henchman in the underworld, you should at least be possessed by a Tibetan Mastiff, or at the very least, a Bull Terrier or something. This 'Mini Teacup Teddy' is just... ridiculous!"
Looking at the adorable pink teddy bear teacup in his palm, and then thinking of Rao Guangbiao, who had been known for his violent outbursts since childhood, Gao Jianfei couldn't help but laugh and cry. But honestly, right now, Rao Guangbiao really does need to act cute!
Soon, Gao Jianfei directly selected the Level 1 Ghostly Cursor... and possessed it!
Possessed by a teacup-shaped teddy bear!
A strange light pierced directly into the head of the teacup-shaped teddy bear. It was momentarily stunned, and almost exactly two seconds later, Rao Guangbiao's voice echoed in Gao Jianfei's mind... "Eh? Brother Jianfei, what... what happened to me? It seems... it seems... I've turned into a dog? Ah! Sunshine! Air! This is amazing! Brother Jianfei! I can smell life again! This is wonderful!"
When Rao Guangbiao realized that he had become a dog and been given a second life, his voice immediately became joyful and excited.
Meanwhile, the teddy bear in Gao Jianfei's palm stuck out its wet tongue and kept licking Gao Jianfei's palm, making him feel tingly and itchy.
"Hey, not bad, right? You got another chance to live!" Gao Jianfei said telepathically to Rao Guangbiao as he walked.
"Brother Jianfei, you're truly my second father! Uh... but why a teacup teddy bear? Why not a Tibetan Mastiff, a tiger, a lion, a python, a blue dragon, a leopard... Brother Jianfei, I feel that a teacup teddy bear is... a bit too lame, isn't it?" Rao Guangbiao chuckled dryly. "Brother Jianfei, you know me, I, A-Biao, grew up killing people. I collect protection money every day, I even dare to beat up cops. I'm full of murderous aura. Now, I've become a teacup teddy bear. Well, besides being cute, I really can't do anything else!"
"Don't be dissatisfied. Your main task is to be cute!" Gao Jianfei laughed. "Wait a minute, I'll drop you off at the entrance of the Huidong Hotel. You'll observe people's expressions and behavior. When you encounter people checking into the hotel, pretend to be a little puppy separated from its owner, gain their sympathy, and try to get them to take you inside. Once inside, wander around, mainly trying to find your two enemies who killed you and try to gather information about them. Then, run back and tell me what you've heard. Hey, right now you're just a very cute little puppy, no one will be wary of you! You're the perfect candidate for gathering classified information! I currently live in the Nanhu International Community. There are a few stray dogs outside the community, just like you, they're my pets. After you gather information, just pass it on to those dogs. Or, you can just come into the community and find me."
Afterwards, Gao Jianfei hailed a taxi, brought the teacup-shaped teddy bear to the entrance of the Huidong Hotel, and gently tossed it out of the car. He then took another taxi and left.
The driver asked Gao Jianfei, puzzled, "Friend, why did you throw away such a well-behaved dog?"
Gao Jianfei touched his nose and smiled helplessly, "There's nothing I can do. My wife loves this dog too much. She even sleeps with it at night, which is affecting our normal sex life! I had no choice but to secretly throw it away when my wife wasn't home!"
"Oh, I see. I understand. I understand." The driver gave Gao Jianfei a knowing smile.
Teacup Teddy got out of the car and hid behind a trash can outside the Huidong Hotel, peeking out cautiously. It observed every guest entering the hotel.
Although its physical body is that of a dog, its intelligence is that of a human. Therefore, it knows very well what kind of guests it is appropriate to follow into the hotel.
Finally, the teacup teddy bear found its target!
Two tall, fair-skinned young women with perfectly proportioned faces walked toward the hotel entrance, carrying suitcases.
"Woof! Woof!" The teacup-shaped teddy bear darted out from behind the trash can, rushed to the two women, wagged its tail frantically, and circled around their high heels. It even stuck out its pink tongue and licked the two women's round, jade-like toes peeking out from their high-heeled sandals.
"Wow! It's a teacup teddy bear! So cute! So adorable!" One of the girls, with firm and full breasts, picked up the teacup teddy bear and hugged it tightly to her chest, her soft breasts pressing against it.
"Woof woof!" The teacup teddy bear seemed to have fallen into a gentle embrace, thinking, "Brother Jianfei turned me into a teacup teddy bear, it seems it's not so bad after all!" Hey!
"Whose dog is this?" The two girls pretended to look around, asking the question several times in a voice so soft they could barely hear themselves, before picking up the dog and heading into the hotel.
They laughed and said, "It seems this is a pet that God has given us!"
Just before dinner, Gao Jianfei leisurely returned home. Before arriving, he had received two phone calls.
One of the calls was from Qin Leshi, who insisted on chatting with Gao Jianfei, asking all sorts of questions endlessly. She even wanted to take leave and come to ZG City to see Gao Jianfei. Gao Jianfei was so frightened that he quickly refused.
The other call was from Sister Bi!
Although Gao Jianfei and Sister Bi had only met once, at Feilong's mother's birthday celebration, Gao Jianfei always felt there was a strange and mysterious connection between himself and this stunningly beautiful young woman. Therefore, he chatted with Sister Bi for 20 minutes before hanging up the phone.
When she got home, Chen Xian had already prepared the meal.
The family sat together at the dining table eating.
These past few days, Gao Jianfei has been very busy, spending relatively little time at home and not having time to play with Song Ying.
In that case, even if Song Ying, a beautiful TV host, wanted to lower herself and seduce Gao Jianfei, she wouldn't have a chance!
During the meal, Gao Jianfei and Chen Xian appeared very compatible and affectionate, serving each other food and being very intimate. Song Ying felt extremely uncomfortable! A strange thought flashed through her mind… “Chen Xian, although you are good-looking and can be considered a beauty, what is your status? Just an ordinary woman! Your family's financial situation can even be described as extremely poor! Besides, what special talents do you have? In society, you are just an extremely ordinary woman. What virtue or ability do you possess to become the woman of an outstanding man like Gao Jianfei?”
I disagree!
Song Ying instinctively felt resentful!
While eating, Gao Jianfei suddenly put down his bowl and chopsticks, indicating that he had something to say.
Chen Xian was the first to put down her bowl and chopsticks. While wiping the grease from Gao Jin's mouth with a tissue, she stared intently at Gao Jianfei. "Jianfei, you...do you have something to announce?"
Aunt and Gao Jin were also confused as they watched Gao Jianfei.
"Well, Aunt, Dad, Xiaoxian, my career has been going very well lately, developing quite well!" Gao Jianfei said solemnly, "I want to make as much money as I can while I'm still young, so I won't have to work so hard when I'm older. Therefore, I might leave ZG City for a while. Maybe I'll go back to G Province, or maybe I'll go somewhere else to develop. As for you, just stay in ZG City and wait for my news. Xiaoxian, you stay home too and take good care of Aunt and Dad and Mom for me. Um, don't worry, I won't do anything behind your back."
Chen Xian blushed, gave Gao Jianfei a deep look, and then nodded firmly. "Jianfei, I understand. I'm willing to stay home, be a housewife, and take care of my parents and aunt."
There was no regret or resentment in Chen Xian's eyes, only understanding and support!
Gao Jianfei was deeply moved.
Suddenly, Song Ying felt a chill run down her spine... "I understand! The reason Gao Jianfei cared so much about Chen Xian was that she was a woman who would break her own wings and give them to a man to fly! For her man, she was willing to stay at home, endure loneliness, and take care of the elderly in her family! She did it willingly!"
Song Ying couldn't help but ask herself, "If I were Gao Jianfei's woman, could I be as willing as Chen Xian to give up everything?"
As for Gao Jianfei, when he said those words, he already had a fairly complete plan...
Temporarily, I'm leaving ZG City!
It's quite simple. Now that the Qingcheng Sect has mobilized its entire forces to surround and control ZG City and several surrounding cities, Gao Jianfei believes that with the Qingcheng Sect's influence, they will surely be able to get some forces in the mortal world to serve them, making this encirclement extremely tight! Once their encirclement is complete, Gao Jianfei won't even have time to escape!
