Kung Fu Baby with 17 Doting Brothers-Chapter 499: Are You Out of Your Mind?

Tantai Yi thought he had explained himself clearly, but over the next two days, if he moved around in the neighborhood, his two seniors and junior sister would take turns following him.

It was the kind of very carefree surveillance, so obvious that you’d fear others wouldn’t know they were tailing someone.

But when he turned around, the person following quickly hid away, refusing to walk alongside him.

The community had many long-time residents, with people of all ages.

Perhaps due to his appearance, there were many people who would stop and chat with him.

During these times, he could always sense a change in the breathing of those following him.

That day, Tantai Yi was stopped again.

The one who stopped him was a middle-aged man wearing glasses, with a sharp look in his eyes, quickly assessing Tantai Yi as if evaluating something when they first met.

Tantai Yi, however, judged from his attire and the way he glanced around while walking, that this man wasn’t a resident but seemed more like he was visiting someone in the area.

The middle-aged man offered a business card proactively.

"Your appearance is very good. If you sign with our company, we can make you into a superstar. Know Gu Che, the top celebrity? Your looks and build surpass his, and one day, you could surpass him."

Tantai Yi: "..." Wasn’t Gu Che the little sister’s brother?

At this moment, a figure quickly showed up, stopping in front of Tantai Yi.

"My senior won’t enter the industry, don’t try to trick him!"

The one on surveillance duty today was Tuanzi.

She had already asked the three seniors’ opinions and learned that while they could participate in programs and occasionally cameo in Gu Cheng’s films for a few seconds, they would not officially join the industry.

In other words, they could do short-term jobs for variety shows and movies to make some money but wouldn’t stay in the entertainment circle permanently.

There’s a big difference in officially entering the entertainment industry to become a star.

The three seniors didn’t want to become stars and didn’t have the strength to be actors or singers, so they only took short-term jobs, didn’t sign with companies, didn’t form teams, and didn’t plan to interact with fans.

The middle-aged man looked a bit displeased, but upon recognizing Tuanzi, he froze, "Are you Gu Miaomiao? Do you live here?"

In an instant, his eyes filled with ecstasy.

If Gu Miaomiao lives here, doesn’t that mean Gu Che also lives in this community?

This piece of information could sell for a high price!

He had heard that Gu Peihai’s parents were on good terms with Gu Che’s parents, and even their houses were together. If Gu Peihai also lived in this community, this news could double in value!

The man had his calculations in mind but didn’t want to miss out on someone with such an excellent image as Tantai Yi, so he tried hard to persuade him, offering attractive conditions, and painting a rosy picture.

Tuanzi bared her teeth, like a little tiger cub ready to launch an attack.

Tantai Yi patted her on the head, looked coldly at the middle-aged man.

"I won’t enter the industry, you can leave."

The middle-aged man’s expression changed again, just as he was about to further entangle when suddenly a layer of thin ice covered the business card he was holding, the chill reaching his fingertips, making him startle and loosen his grip, yet the card didn’t fall but instead turned into countless ice crystals on the spot.

Horror climbed onto his somewhat greasy face.

His fearful gaze landed on that face with radiant charm.

Tantai Yi was too familiar with this kind of look, indifferent to it.

Tuanzi, however, was so angry that she struck out, her Inner Strength sending the middle-aged man flying far back.

The man dared not linger any longer and stumbled away rather awkwardly.

As soon as he left, Tuanzi tried to sneak away, but just as she turned, she was grabbed by the collar and lifted up, spun around.

The system sighed, luckily the host’s clothing is of good quality. Otherwise, when the host gets older, these people won’t be able to lift the host up like grabbing a kitten by the scruff anymore.

Body suspended in mid-air.

Tuanzi curled her little hands at her chest, smiled ingratiatingly.

"Third senior, what’s this about? Miaomiao was just passing by and is about to leave."

"There is no three hundred taels of silver buried here."

Tantai Yi sighed, golden eyes passing over with bewilderment.

"Why do you follow me? I’m just moving around inside the community."

He liked peace, not good at communication. Even though people of this era are extremely tolerant, he still habitually covered his appearance, unwilling to see the surprise in others’ eyes. Regardless of whether that surprise was followed by fright or delight.

Once exposed, Tuanzi didn’t hide it either, immediately hugging her arms, slightly raising her head as if it gave her more momentum.

The Little Heroine spoke with righteous confidence.

"Because third senior, you’re silly, overly soft-hearted and kind, we’re worried about you being deceived so we take turns following... protecting you!"

She stubbornly refused to admit this was stalking.

It’s protection, protection for the kindest third senior!

The stiff cheek had signs of cracking.

"Silly?"

Tantai Yi thought he heard it wrong, "Kind?"

How could these words have anything to do with him?

"Yes," Tuanzi puffed her cheeks, seeing his shock, seized the chance to extend a soft paw, gently poking his cheek, "Look, those people treated you that way, and you just handed them to the authorities, isn’t that soft-hearted and kind? Master said, some people don’t deserve kindness."

Tantai Yi fell silent.

His seniors and junior sister seemed to have a misunderstanding about him.

He really wasn’t a kind person, nor silly.

The world he initially lived in had comprehensive laws but harsh conditions. Those people were either sentenced to death or exiled.

The path to exile was long and arduous, with news of deaths arriving consecutively.

And at the place of exile, heavy work and harsh conditions shortened many people’s lifespans considerably.

He could very well have used his sword to kill those people, but that was too quick, those people wouldn’t feel pain then. Sending them to the authorities to have their reputations smeared, and counting their days in prison, was real torture.

Facing the junior sister who thought ’My third senior is so soft-hearted I must protect him well,’ Tantai Yi seriously emphasized, "I’m truly not kind."

Tuanzi covered her ears, not listening, not listening, senior is chanting!

Tantai Yi was helpless, could only carry his junior sister back, personally find the two seniors to talk.

Duan Xiayou and Ji Zhangzhuo listened to his words, their expressions complex.

After a long while, Ji Zhangzhuo patted his shoulder, sighed, "Unkind people always like to boast they’re kind, but kind people claim they’re not kind, what has the world come to?"

Tantai Yi opened his mouth, unable to utter a word.

He wanted to ask, "Seniors, what’s up with you? Did water get into your brain?"

’Water in the brain’ was a phrase he learned from his junior sister.

There’s no water in his brain, but in the brains of the two seniors, it’s full of water.

Meanwhile, after leaving Jiangshui, the middle-aged man immediately found a marketing account with a large fan base expressing he had breaking news related to Gu Che and Gu Peihai.

The marketing account took it very seriously, expressing willingness to pay a high price for it.

But the money wouldn’t be given easily, at least the type of breaking news had to be known in advance.

The middle-aged man: "I know where Gu Che lives, and Gu Peihai’s family is very likely living in this community."

Marketing account: "..."

The middle-aged man was puzzled: "Countless paparazzi and fans want to know where their family lives, right?"

Marketing account: "Ha ha, I think you just want us to receive a lawyer’s letter."
