Because last night Liu Zixuan sneaked into the Sakura Sect and learned that the guy on the phone understood Star Sea language, he made a slight change to the whole plan. Originally, Nicholas was the most handso and would accompany Gu Yu inside, but later it was changed to having Huzi accompany him.
The reason is very simple. If there's no one inside who understands Star Sea language, then Nicholas, the most handso, can embellish Gu Yu's Fortune Telling Skill to make it appear more magical. But the man who made the call yesterday spoke Star Sea fluently, likely being a Star Sea native and familiar with its culture.
So if Nicholas, the most handso, were to embellish it further, it would obviously seem fake and make the Sakura Sect Leader wary. Having Huzi go is different; although Huzi is rather rough, he's quite reserved and wouldn't deliberately say anything that might accidentally give them away due to the language barrier.
Outside the Sakura Sect.
Liu Zixuan looked at Gu Yu and asked, "Have you figured out how to get in?"
Gu Yu smiled smugly, "There are two kinds of people in this world who can go anywhere. Do you know which two kinds?"
"Madn and fools, of course," said Nicholas, the most handso, with a laugh.
Gu Yu glared at him, "Anything coming out of your mouth gets twisted; it's monks and Taoists. Monks enter many hos to beg for alms, while Taoists know many sects to avoid starvation. These two types of people are welco everywhere."
"You an in the past. Nowadays, which monk entering a ho isn't chased out? Most are scamrs," laughed Mo Chengfeng.
Gu Yu shook his head solemnly, "You ntioned scamrs, but I'm not one of them. What's more, so big figures in the Witch Country are devout followers of Star Sea's Daoist sects!"
"That's quite correct. Here, Daoism is indeed more popular than Buddhism, especially things like the Zhou Yi Trigrams," said the female translator.
Upon hearing this, Liu Zixuan smiled, "Then it's up to you. Rember, once you're inside, turn on your earpiece. We'll be monitoring through surveillance and earpiece communication on what's happening over there."
Gu Yu took a deep breath and said to the nearby Huzi, "Little Huzi, lead the way for this Great Immortal!"
Huzi was montarily stunned, then cooperatively laughed, "Gu the Great Immortal, may you live long and prosper!"
With the translator, the three of them headed inside.
Before leaving, Mo Chengfeng gave each of them a small earpiece, the kind that's not easily discovered, for them to stay in contact.
For now, they had to wait here for news from Gu Yu.
Mo Chengfeng took out a laptop and phone, and fiddled with the car's display. Soon, the scene inside the Sakura Sect appeared on the screen.
"Chengfeng, teach this tech of yours soti," said Nicholas, the most handso, taking advantage of the downti.
Mo Chengfeng was puzzled for a mont, "Why would you want to learn this? It's not very useful."
"To you, it's for use during our operations, but for , it's different," Nicholas, the most handso, sneered, "If I fancy a girl, I could directly access her computer. Wouldn't that be heavenly?"
"Didn't expect you to be so sleazy," Liu Zixuan murmured, pinching his forehead, "From the looks of it, you'd have so impressive background. You shouldn't be like this."
"I'm not bragging, but anywhere in the world, if I fancy any beauty, it'd be done soon enough as people would help achieve it, but it's not satisfying that way," said Nicholas, the most handso, with pride.
"I recall you bragging about having planes, and now this. What does your family actually do?" asked Mo Chengfeng.
Liu Zixuan and Zhao Yi also turned their attention to him.
Nicholas, the most handso, scratched his head, "I can't really say. If it's a company, it seems like they've all been shut down in recent years, but my family is still very, very wealthy. Since I was born, I've never lacked money, and my family mbers are all impressive. They know people everywhere in Star Sea and in many other countries too."
"Is it so kind of noble family?" asked Zhao Yi.
"If you say a noble family, I think so, but my dad doesn't admit it. And our family isn't on the rankings of Star Sea's prominent families at all."
Liu Zixuan asked suspiciously, "After all this while, you still haven't said what your surna is. What's your na?"
"Yeah, we've known each other for a long ti, but you've never said it!" Zhao Yi and Mo Chengfeng questioned in bewildernt.
Nicholas, the most handso, scratched his head, "Brothers, it's not that I don't want to tell you, but I have my own reasons, and unless it's an ergency, I really can't say. Please understand. When the ti is right, I'll definitely let you know."
"Could you be an illegitimate child expelled from so family?" Zhao Yi suddenly asked, "I rember there were such people in the Land of the Far North, who dared not reveal their true identities."
"I wish I were an illegitimate child, but the problem is my dad only has as his son," Nicholas, the most handso, said helplessly, shaking his head, "I can't explain it right now. Once we're back in Star Sea, I'll tell you all in detail. It's complicated."
"Alright, since he has his reasons, let's not press any further," Liu Zixuan interrupted the topic, and everyone turned their attention to the three screens.
Although they didn't know Nicholas's true identity, at least he wasn't playing any mind gas with everyone. Making friends as brothers isn't about identity or background; after all, a na is just a label.
If he really wanted to speak, he'd do so even if nobody asked.
Of course, Liu Zixuan seed to have a guess about sothing but couldn't be sure just yet!
After a minute or two, Mo Chengfeng suddenly pointed at the screen and said, "Look, Gu Yu and the others have already gone in!"
As he spoke, there was a slight rustling in their earpieces, followed by the sound from over there.
"How co this guy seems really popular?"
"Look at his walking posture, acting all high and mighty," Nicholas, the most handso, said, pointing at the screen.
Liu Zixuan snickered, "You've never seen Gu Yu's ability to scam people. I've experienced it firsthand."
"Could it be that Zixuan was scamd miserably by Gu Yu?" Mo Chengfeng laughed.
Liu Zixuan smiled proudly, "He was deceiving a wealthy couple, and I exposed him in a second. Because of that, Gu Yu was furious enough to want to kill , but as the saying goes, 'no fight, no friendship,' and we beca good brothers from then on!"
Just then, Gu Yu's leisurely voice ca through their earpieces.
"Dear Sect Leader, since you've addressed as Gu the Great Immortal, I'll kindly remind you—a bluish tint under the eyes and a slight concavity at the roof of the mouth indicate you've been cuckolded!"
Upon hearing these words, everyone broke out in a cold sweat for Gu Yu. He had just entered for less than five minutes, yet he talked about such a topic. Wasn't he afraid the Sect Leader might just kill him?
