Chapter 29: The two foxes are affectionate

But who is Ge Quan? I didn’t know either, but the answer was revealed a minute later.

After the boxing, people gathered around an old man who looked young and healthy, asking him, “Master Ge, how was my boxing today?

“Master Ge, what other moves in my boxing are not in place?”

“Master Ge, I…”

The scene was very lively, and it felt like Ge Quan was very popular and had status in this villa area where wealthy people gathered.

Seeing this, I didn’t rush over, but simply walked into the pavilion not far from me, lit a cigarette and waited quietly.

“Okay, okay, the old rules, in order, 10 yuan for a question, 50 yuan for a detailed explanation, and 100 yuan for exclusive guidance. I’m not going to bullshit you! As for the results, look at me, I’m 86 years old, and that’s the best proof. As for the results, look at me, I’m 86 years old, and that’s the best proof.

At that time, I was lighting a cigarette and heard Ge Quan’s words. The smoke that I inhaled into my lungs at once choked me for a long time and I couldn’t come back to my senses. No matter how I looked at it, I didn’t think Ge Quan was like a Taoist, but more like a street vendor.

“Okay, Master Ge, you don’t mind repeating this every day with a megaphone, and we all know it.”

“Master Ge, you don’t need to advertise anymore. You’re already famous in the community.”

From the conversations of the people, I learned that Ge Quan did this every day. My three views were shattered again, but a smile appeared on my face. This Ge Quan was somewhat interesting. To put it bluntly, in reality, it is never the real villain who is afraid, but the hypocrite.

Ge Quan loves money, and he is honest about his prices. He doesn’t cheat or deceive, and this is actually proof of his reliable character.

“What do you know? Not everyone in this neighborhood has followed me in practicing. I still have to go out of the neighborhood…” Ge Quan explained a little bit too much, but was quickly overwhelmed by people’s questions.

Next, Ge Quan began to guide the crowd. Since I had already come this far, I wasn’t in a hurry. I took a cigarette and crossed my arms, waiting quietly.

Gradually, more and more people from the neighborhood gathered, but no one paid attention to me, nor did they care about Ge Quan. I guess they were used to such scenes.

It wasn’t until after 9 o’clock that the crowd gradually dispersed, leaving Ge Quan to pack up his things and loudspeakers. At this point, I stood up, stretched my body, which had become a bit stiff from sitting there, and walked towards Ge Quan.

When I got to Ge Quan, he had just finished packing his things and was about to leave with them in a large bag. When he saw me standing in front of him, he looked at me a few times, but his expression didn’t change much. He just said, “I’ve been watching you sitting there for a long time. Are you here to see me?”

“Yes,” I replied simply. It was only then that I got a good look at Ge Quan’s face. Apart from his white hair and boyish face, he also had a kind and gentle look. If you took him out, tied his hair up, and dressed him in a Taoist robe, he would look exactly like a high-ranking Taoist. No wonder people trusted him so much. His first impression was good.

“Are you here to practice Tai Chi or…? Ge Quan had already started to leave when I hurriedly followed him and said, “No, I’m also a Taoist.”

Hearing this, Ge Quan stopped and looked at me, saying seriously, “Come back next year. The quota for this year has already been filled.”

So that means that the ten messages for this year have already been sold out? It’s not even winter yet! This was something I hadn’t expected, and for a moment I didn’t know what to say. If I told him the truth, it would undoubtedly be extremely risky, so I begged, “Master Ge, I’m really in a hurry to find you. Can you make an exception?”

Ge Quan did not turn around, but kept walking forward, saying, “Everyone who comes to me is extremely important, but I can’t make exceptions here. Just as there are rules in the circle, I also have my own rules here. A gentleman loves money, but he takes it in a righteous way. If he is too greedy, he may lose his life.”

This is a clear, unyielding refusal. I could feel that it was useless for me to say anything more.

So, this strange situation was created. Ge Quan walked ahead, and I followed behind him. He looked back from time to time, impatiently glancing at me, and I had no choice but to follow him.

We walked like this until we reached a villa on the edge of the villa area. Ge Quan stopped and looked at me and said, “Are you following me home? Don’t you know the law? You can’t break into people’s homes.”

When he said this, Ge Quan’s face was full of impatience and vigilance. Then he added, “Although I, Ge, am not talented and insignificant, friends from all walks of life generally give me face and abide by my rules. When he said this, Ge Quan stopped. Some things don’t need to be said too clearly, but I already sensed Ge Quan’s attitude towards me. It was already a bit annoying, which was not a good sign.

For a moment, I was so anxious that I broke into a sweat, but fortunately I reacted quickly and thought of some of Ge Quan’s behavior, and immediately said, “Master Ge, you don’t have to buy this information, but I’ve heard a lot about Master Ge, and it’s not too much to come visit you, is it? I know that there are rules for everything, and it’s not too much to come over for a cup of tea and chat with Mr. Ge for a while. How about 100 yuan?”

Ge Quan looked at me like I was crazy, but the look of impatience on his face had disappeared.

“200 yuan?” I knew I was on the right track, so I doubled the price.

Ge Quan acted as if he hadn’t heard me, just reaching for his keys to unlock the door.

I gritted my teeth and shouted, “500 yuan, just have a cup of tea with Mr. Ge, and I won’t ask any questions that I shouldn’t.”

“That’s too cheap.” Ge Quan finally responded to me.

I was relieved. In fact, if I had to pay 500 yuan, I wouldn’t have enough money to live on for the rest of the day. Now 500 yuan is already a large sum for me, but I still have a killer move. From Ge Quan’s appearance, I can tell that he must be a guy who pays a lot of attention to health. So, I looked at Ge Quan and said seriously, “Master Ge, for a cup of tea, the best medicinal herbs.”

I said that in the evening, I pulled the bag on my back forward, unzipped it, and pulled out the small bundle of medicinal herbs. I opened it a little, revealing a few medicinal herbs, which Ge Quan would recognize at a glance if he knew what they were.

Sure enough, Ge Quan was moved for the first time when he saw the herbs in my bag. He was originally indifferent, but suddenly his face was filled with a smile, and he looked at me and said, “Actually, brother, I feel like I know you. If it weren’t for the rules, I would have wanted to drink with you a long time ago. Look, I can’t even say a cup of tea, let alone cook a meal for you. I’m not bragging, but I have three specialties…

While talking, he whispered in my ear, “You are good at collecting information, and you have a good way of maintaining your health. Although most Taoist masters have a lot of theories about health preservation, they are not as good as me in practice. The third thing is that my cooking skills are excellent.”

My facial muscles twitched. To be honest, Ge Quan’s three specialties were briefly recorded in the information, but they were completely irrelevant to me, and I didn’t pay much attention to them. The reason my facial muscles twitched was because this guy’s face-changing skills were really fast. For the first time, I doubted my master’s judgment of people. Before, I thought that the real villain was just joking, but now it seems that Ge Quan is clearly a greedy real villain.

But how could I say these things? I could only pretend to be unmoved. After Ge Quan finished his rambling in my ear, he said to me with a somewhat flattering smile, “It’s this medicinal herb…”

I quickly laughed and said, “Master Ge is really too kind, you’re welcome.”

Then, we both laughed heartily at the entrance of his villa, just like two foxes, big and small. I guess passers-by would have goose bumps when they saw us.

I am grateful to Jiang Yi for leaving me so many medicinal herbs. Although I am severely injured and in urgent need of these herbs, I may have to sell them in the future to get some money from Ge Quan.

After laughing, Ge Quan and I seemed to have become friends despite the age difference. After Ge Quan opened the door, he walked into the villa with me on his shoulder. Ge Quan was so affectionate with me, so I had no choice but to follow suit and treat Ge Quan in the same way. For a moment, it seemed that we were even closer than brothers.

Once I entered Ge Quan’s villa, I was stunned. I have traveled all over the country for many years, and for a period of time I was focused on making money. In fact, I have come into contact with many wealthy families, and I have seen a lot of so-called luxury, but none of them have reached the level of Ge Quan.

At first glance, his house is decorated in a Chinese style, simple and practical, not going for any European luxury, but on closer inspection, every ornament in the house, including the small ornaments, are all genuine antiques, and they are the best of the best. This is true luxury!

This guy, how much money does he have? If it weren’t for the things my master passed down, I would have some of these things, plus some real ancient paintings. I really couldn’t feel the mystery in his room.

While I was looking around, Ge Quan already brought me a pair of disposable slippers, saying, “Now this item, I am almost broke. Originally this pair of slippers cost 50 yuan, but what kind of relationship are we? How can I accept your money? Hurry up and put them on. I am very generous to my friends.”

I felt my face twitching again. He said 50 yuan for these disposable slippers that are commonly found in hotels? This is even worse than robbing people of their money! Unfortunately, I needed his help, so I pretended to be confused and laughed, and then put on the slippers. It’s fine if he doesn’t charge me. Isn’t he just staring at my herbs?

But I still had time to think. Ge Quan already held my hand affectionately and said, “I and my brother are like old friends. How can I entertain you in this lobby? Come, follow me upstairs. On the third floor is my private study, plus a small rooftop that I have carefully and thoughtfully renovated. Let’s go there to talk. You must stay and not only drink tea, but also have a meal.”

I also smiled warmly. Damn, this is going to be a rhythm of getting all the medicinal herbs out of me!
