Chen Yuanhao nodded, “Zi Ju Shu Bai sure is hard to see through. Even with all my words earlier, he didn’t react once, and blocked them all…”
Chou Tu spoke, “I was talking about that person just now.”
Chen Yuanhao’s words stuck in his throat, “That……” He thought for a bit, “……Zi Ju Shu Bai’s personal guard?”
Chou Tu said, “He’s very dangerous.”
Even though Chen Yuanhao had not known Chou Tu for too long, there had already been some negotiation involved and all. Even if they were just benefiting from each other, he still trusted him.
He thought about it for a while then asked, “What do you mean?”
Chou Tu lifted two fingers, “Either risk the danger of getting close to Zi Ju Shu Bai through that person or give up on Zi Ju Shu Bai who is a great fish with potential.” He said, “You can choose one out of the two.”
Chen Yuanhao furrowed his brows, “I need connections, I need to quickly spread my power.”
Chou Tu nodded, “I have a feeling, to come in contact with that person, it might bring us something different……of course, it could also……”
Chen Yuanhao closed his eyes, “There are gains and losses, but there is no gain without loss.”
Gu Bai was completely oblivious to the fact that by merely having Qi Guan Rui send some people off, he had already caused the psycho protagonist’s two head-underlings to come online.
The thing he was thinking about just then was……the dorm problem.
Without a doubt, with Gu Bai’s High-Level Wu Jun power, he could definitely get into the inner academy. But the most annoying thing was that the dorm of the inner academy had a strict rule.
One could take servants, but they could only take one male servant, while up to eight female servants were allowed.
Thinking back to when Gu Bai made the setting, it was obviously because he didn’t want more men there to be light bulbs. But sometimes, people were needed to be on the lookout, so that created the slot for one male. At the same time, there weren’t many requests for women…after all, this was a stallion novel, the more women, the more attractive the contents, right?
Inside the Qing Tian Academy, the psycho protagonist basically had some relationships with all the pretty women at the top. Plus, because of the snake’s natural sex drive (→ obviously, one of the reasons why the “Sky Devouring Python Bloodline” was chosen as his original form), one woman wouldn’t be able to satisfy the protagonist’s desire.
So, as for the more female setting, it was all so that Gu Bai would have easy access to write about the protagonist sleeping with many women…… due to all the scenes of the protagonist getting it on with many different beauties on the same bed within the academy, in one whole month, he’d reaped countless rewards[1]. Gu Bai’s hand went soft from having to count all his money. So, he walked on the path of a stallion novelist that had no return……
But for the Gu Bai who only liked 2D, having too many women was actually of no help to him.
He thought and thought, then decided that even if the spots couldn’t all be filled up, he wouldn’t take any untrustworthy female servants → even though currently, he almost didn’t even need the four female servants.
That was all alright, but what Gu Bai had the most trouble with was, there were too many female servant slots but not enough male servant slots.
He couldn’t just make the four death warriors cross-dress either, right?
Gu Bai sighed.
It was to be noted that Gu Xiao Shan had already evolved to a point where not only could he do everything that the female servants did, he also did them better. But his title of personal guard was really just a label, to let Xiao Shan, a High-Level Low-Rank Wu Shi protect him, did he even want face anymore?
Even though those death warriors were weaker than him, they were at least Middle-Level High-Rank Wu Shis. Without needing Gu Bai to do anything, they would be able to stand up for the City Governor pretty well.
So currently, he was debating which employees to take away and which to keep, the female servants didn’t need to be taken out. As for the needed ones though, they had to be removed.
Whatever, if it became too troublesome, then just let it be.
Gu Bai remembered how his Gu Xiao Shan was usually filled with insecurities, so he decided to do it.
If the other couldn’t fight for him, having him run errands wouldn’t be a problem.
If he were to need the death warriors to do something, he could just have Gu Xiao Shan go and find them.
Plus, even if there was something unexpected, there were still the female servants…even though they were a bit weak when compared to the death warriors, compared to Xiao Shan, they were pretty strong too.
Thinking it through thoroughly, it would also be a chance for him to show off!
Thinking about the future, Gu Bai stopped being conflicted. He looked at Qi Guan Rui, who walked towards him from the door and said, “Xiao Shan, what do you think?”
Qi Guan Rui smiled kindly, “Those two didn’t say anything much, they seemed to be clever.”
Gu Bai kept his stone face, “If they’re clever, then do be careful, Xiao Shan.”
If you got tricked and ended up meeting the protagonist, then I’d be in deep danger too, so it’d be for the best if you kept a far, far distance from them, definitely don’t try to get close! I’ve now warned Xiao Shan and with how obedient he is, he would obediently not go near them, right?!
As expected, Qi Guan Rui nodded his head obediently, “Yes, Gege.” His face was extremely innocent, just like the purest white snow, yet also the blooming flower on a spring day, “I know.”
Zi Ju Shu Bai had already refused them earlier, so why had he specifically brought them up again?
To have noted it so carefully to him……that kind of scene seemed to have only happened when “Qi Guan Rui” was mentioned last time.
So just……why was that?
It seemed to only be some easy notes that he’d mention to him when bumping into some situations. But to have had such a serious attitude, it just made him think it was a bit……weird.
It made him intuitively want to investigate it.
Soon, it was the sign-up day, seriously speaking, it was just a transition. The detail of the test was just to look at your bone age to calculate your family history and check your level of martial skill. As long as it reached their standard, then one would be smoothly accepted.
Gu Bai was still wearing his white robe and silver gauze. He still had the tall jade crown on top and he wore the delicate gloves. He was both serious and cold, looking like the fighting machine within the group of wealthy young masters.
But the difference from his usual cool act was, this time, he walked.
Gu Bai understood very well, acting cool could definitely help him create an impression, but to act no matter when would make it extremely easy for him to mess up.
For example, when they were recruiting students along with people signing up, it seemed like there was nothing hard, but sometimes there just had to be some undying, ancient, old men, hiding and watching.
On the surface, this was to recruit new disciples, and of course, for the protagonist, he would naturally have received the old men’s interest.
But the old men were the protagonist’s golden finger, to Gu Bai, they were not only useless, they actually made him even more nervous.
Qi Guan Rui still followed one step behind Gu Bai, with the four female servants walking a little bit further behind.
And the four death warriors, who had already been given some money and ordered to expand power outside of the academy. It was okay, even if it was a small business, even if they were taken advantage of in the beginning stages, it was fine. As long as they could keep a steady footing here, then success would eventually roll in.
This was also the technique that one of the small bosses from the novel used for their business.
Walking straight forward, all the people passing by to watch parted like the red sea, dodging to the sides.
In the eyes of countless people, Gu Bai quickly came to the door of the Qing Tian Academy.
The path was sealed off, a great big, stone door stood right in the pathway. It was so secured that one couldn’t bear to look at it.
It was definitely a door crafted from a high-classed, skill-showing stone, it was, as expected, luxurious and elegant.
Gu Bai was very calm.
He wasn’t some country bumpkin who’d never seen anything.
Didn’t he just need to use his strength to push it open? And wasn’t the other option that someone needed the power of a Wu Jun to beat it until it turned blue to enter?
I’m not afraid.
Suddenly, a huge number of people, with their horses and underlings, appeared from all directions under a heavy atmosphere.
The tension in the air was so thick, it seemed like everyone wanted to bite each other, it was surely ugly.
Gu Bai scanned the group of guys in one look and knew that there weren’t many qualified, so he immediately decided to suppress the weaklings with his power.
In the next moment, cold air spread around him, it instantly caused thin frost to appear within ten square meters around him.
The guys with frost grown all over their eyebrows and hair turned, just to find Gu Bai standing with both his hands behind him.
Wow, he was really the rich within the riches.
They were definitely filled with envy and jealousy, even wanted to beat that face to a pulp.
But upon seeing his aura again, they calmed down a bit.
……It would be best to go home and ask their dad/adviser/uncle/elder/siblings before making a decision, muah[2]!
Qi Guan Rui was off to the side, seeing such a majestic look on Gu Bai, a gleam of admiration also sparked in his eyes.
As expected of Zi Ju Shu Bai, no matter where he would always have that proud confidence to look down at everyone else.
It made him want to desperately gouge out the eyes of all the others who also saw him like that.
Gu Bai advanced forward slowly and came to the front of the stone door first.
Then he reached out a hand, together with the silver gauze glove and pressed onto the large door.
At that moment, the stone door’s color changed into a strong, dark blue.
That blue was extremely dazzling and extremely pure. It had spread over the entire stone gate almot instantly since the print of his palm.
The stone door was now like a spotless gem, it held the blueness of the sky, the same pureness.
“This person’s so pawerful!” (T/N misspelled on purpose)
“Who is that? This kind of level, he’s probably at least a High-Level Wu Jun!”
“Looks like, among this year’s batch of new students, there are still many dark horses…….”
The crowd discussed amongst themselves, those who wanted to slap him at the start, or wanted to gang up on him in a group if one person wasn’t strong enough, they all suppressed the jealousy within them, deciding to observe for a little more first and collect some data before doing something.
What a pity……
That’s definitely a face that will lure away countless chicks!
The light within Qi Guan Rui’s eyes moved slightly, he watched as Gu Bai pushed open the stone door easily and calculated his own strength a little.
It seemed like he was still a little lower.
……He was gonna need some nutrients too.
Even though he didn’t know what he was suppressing in his heart, yet it was obvious that he was starting to get a little dissatisfied.
But……what was he dissatisfied about?
Qi Guan Rui licked his lips, then put on a smile.
It was alright, if he didn’t know now, he’d know one day.
As long as……he could surpass Zi Ju Shu Bai.
In the moment of pushing open the stone door, Gu Bai retrieved his hand, the door in front opened wide.
The rich blue color seemed to have been sucked out in an instant, immediately returning it back to its original appearance.
The wide road before his eyes seemed to be welcoming people to step in.
Gu Bai spoke with an emotionless face, “Xiao Shan, let’s go.”
Qi Guan Rui quickly followed, with his lips curving up, he spoke softly, “Yes……Gege.”
The four female servants followed right after; they were all oddly in step.
Even though they all wore gauze over their face, just from their graceful poses, it allowed people to sense the ultimate beauty hidden underneath.
The guys turned to cover their faces one by one.
This was bad, after seeing those beauties, it made them want to slap that guy even more, what do they do?!
Gu Bai’s figure quickly disappeared into the road.
There was a sneaky one who looked around, then stepped in front confidently, wanting to get mixed in within the group.
But just as he reached the door, he was deflected off as if he got shocked by lightning.
Leading to him rolling on the floor for a while before he could leave pathetically with dust all over his face.
That was when the crowd realized that the stone door had closed without anyone realizing it.
It was so tightly shut that it seemed like it was never opened in the first place.
As for Gu Bai, who was inside the door, he saw a different sight.
Quiet, it was extremely quiet.
There was no one around, only the trees were shaded and the water was flowing.
Gu Bai walked in the very front alone as if also attracted by the beauty in front of him, quietly admiring it.
He was just like a tall and lonely mountain, assimilating into the beautiful scenery quickly. He seemed so peaceful and natural.
But in an instant, the beautiful scene was broken!
A hand as fast as lightning tried to grab him from the air!
Gu Bai backed off because of his natural instinct, internally, he felt very violent.
What the hell! Why does a man also have to encounter the pig trotters!
