Hidden moth

Chapter 89: Surprise at the Door

Just two days ago, the "move" was completed, and now the house has been returned to He Kao. As for Gu Ziyuan's reaction, it is still unknown, but he is probably very angry.

Gu Ziyuan didn't choose to call the police, and according to reports, he didn't plan to sue either. It seemed like he just accepted it. Legally speaking, as long as the house fell into He Kao's hands, Gu Ziyuan would no longer be able to cause trouble for him through normal channels.

If Gu Ziyuan wants to sue, he has to provide evidence himself. After evaluation, the legal department of Bada Group believes that it is not very meaningful.

Yao Shaolan deduced that Gu Yunteng was probably unaware of this, otherwise he wouldn't have let Gu Ziyuan do that at this critical moment. This was just a small matter, and no one would have taken the initiative to report it to Gu Yunteng. It was clearly a way to play tricks on Gu Ziyuan.

What's more, Gu Yunteng's main energy recently should be used to deal with the investigation team.

Although Gu Ziyuan is unlikely to use any overt means, Yao Shaolan still advises He Kao to be careful and guard against the other party using any dirty tricks. It is best not to live in that house, but either sell it or rent it out temporarily.

If you're renting, don't rent it to a private individual; rent it to an employer. Many employers use Guanliu Community as offices, and Yao Shaolan's firm is actually willing to rent that apartment.

The firm's registered address and external office location are in an office building facing the street, but this place is a bit insufficient. To handle some internal affairs, it would be appropriate to rent another house in a nearby community.

He Kao shook his head and said, "Why would I harm the tenant if I knew they might cause trouble? I can handle it myself."

Having come to this point, the two chatted for a while about Gu Yunteng. He Kao could still hear Yao Shaolan's worry in her words. Qian Guran's accident had been confirmed, and the elders of the clan law hall would probably leave Qiyuan in the next few days.

According to Yao Shaolan, her uncle Gu had a habit or a fetish. Whenever something big happened or was resolved, he always liked to stay alone in his private office on the top floor of Yunteng Building late at night, quietly looking out the window.

Like a feline inspecting its territory, it looks down at the habitat outside the window.

The Yunteng Building seemed very tall in Qiyuan back then. Although many taller buildings have been built now, Gu Yunteng still enjoys this feeling. Perhaps this is also a kind of spiritual practice habit.

Speaking of cultivation, He Kao has recently developed a habit of using up the "quota" of nine back-and-forth space travels every day, otherwise he always feels uncomfortable.

In fact, this is a training method for a second-level assassin. In addition to practicing the basic techniques and various other techniques every day, he insists on practicing stealth techniques to exhaust his spiritual energy as much as possible.

Challenge your limits again and again until your ultimate abilities are increased. This requires a good balance between not overexerting yourself and damaging your foundation, yet still pushing your limits to achieve a training effect.

He Kao still has to go to work every day and doesn't have much time to practice stealth skills, but as a stealth moth, he has a simpler and more effective method. What kind of stealth can compare to the stealth moth's way through space?
The number of times He Kao could travel through space quickly increased from nine to ten.

If each level of the realm is further divided according to the settings in many novels about cultivation, He Kao has a feeling that the realm of a second-level assassin can also be divided into nine levels. The first level of the second level can be traversed nine times, and the second level of the second level can be traversed at most eighteen times.

So, once he reached perfection at the ninth level of the second order, would he be able to travel through it ninety-nine times eighty-one times? This was actually just his way of entertaining himself, giving his current cultivation a quantifiable standard to make it less boring.

If that time really came, there would be no limit to the number of times one could travel, and it would simply become a matter of energy and stamina. It was like shopping; even though it didn't require any magical powers, it would still tire one out.

However, at this rate, He Kao didn't know when he would be able to complete the second stage of the Hidden Moth Technique. The first stage of the Hidden Moth Technique was completed very quickly, in just a few days, and the need to break through quickly was also a requirement of the technique itself.

Yet, the second stage of cultivation is so "long," with no end in sight. This is also due to the requirements of the technique itself. If the first stage of the Hidden Moth Technique is a test of talent and foundation, then the second stage is a test of the sorcerer's own dedication.

With such practice, He Kao's stealth skills are improving day by day. After advancing to the second level, his stealth skills are particularly focused on concealing his breath.

The Yinmo Sect sorcerers are also proficient in synesthesia, and synesthesia and breath control complement each other.

Synesthesia requires sharp perception and the ability to comprehensively utilize various perceptions including intuition, while restraint is to restrain one's own presence and try not to let the other party notice it.

At a high level of cultivation, a sorcerer can not only suppress their own aura, but also many other mysterious feelings, such as murderous intent. The second level of the Hidden Moth Technique is commonly known as the Assassin, and a skilled assassin cannot let others detect the murderous intent.

In this sense, the art of hiding moths and the art of looking at qi are, in a sense, mutually exclusive. The art of looking at qi is good at observing "people's relationships." If Zhang San has murderous intentions towards Li Si, a master of the art of looking at qi can see it at a glance.

However, the Hidden Moth Technique emphasizes the restraint of all auras, including murderous intent, which just happens to restrain the Qi-Watching Technique, or it can be said that it is restrained by the Qi-Watching Technique.

What will be the outcome of the encounter between the two depends on who has more sophisticated means.

The Qi-Watching Technique excels at leveraging momentum, seeing through interpersonal relationships and using complex situations to achieve its goals. The Moth-Hidden Technique excels at using the environment to conceal itself, taking advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness to launch a fatal attack.

If these two people have similar cultivation levels and are enemies, and the Yin Mo Sect sorcerer is in the light while the Wang Qi Sect sorcerer is in the dark, then the Yin Mo Sect sorcerer is almost certain to die.

On the other hand, if a Qi-Guardian sorcerer allowed a Hidden Moth sorcerer to get close to him in a remote environment, he would almost certainly be dead. He Kao was dealing with a Qi-Guardian sorcerer like Gu Yunteng, so he had to be cautious, but also bold enough. It was impossible not to take risks.

Yao Shaolan's words seemed to be some kind of hint. He Kao understood, but did not respond. Even if he really wanted to do something to Gu Yunteng, he would not say it out loud, let alone tell Yao Shaolan.

This is not only Yin'e's style of doing things, but also He Kao's own habit.

After leaving the office, He Kao went to the house. It was only a few hundred meters away from the side gate of Guanliu Community, so he could get there by strolling.

Room 602, Building , has a very exquisite imitation wood double-opening security door. You only need to open half of the door when entering or leaving on weekdays, and it needs to be fully opened when moving large furniture.

The house was completely empty. Apart from the decoration parts that could not be destroyed or removed, not even a pair of chopsticks in the kitchen or a piece of paper in the toilet were left. The moving company hired by Lawyer Yao did a very clean job.

Although it was renovated ten years ago, it still looks very exquisite and there is no problem in continuing to use it. After a quick look, I estimate that the renovation cost at least hundreds of thousands of yuan.

Gu Ziyuan probably thought that no one would want this house anymore.

With four bedrooms, two living rooms, and two bathrooms, plus two large, unenclosed balconies at the front and back, the total area exceeds 200 square meters. This is quite suitable for an office or a small private reception area.

But in He Kao's eyes, it is the most suitable place for practicing martial arts, whether it is the Hidden Moth Technique or the Eight-Section Brocade. It is simply a place made in heaven, because the view is good enough, the space is large enough, and the surrounding environment is comfortable enough.

The so-called "a match made in heaven" is usually used by masters to describe a paradise. He Kao did not have such a concept. He just thought that this place could be built into a cave for cultivation. Who said that a cave could not be built in a residential building?

This is a north-south apartment, so-called river view rooms, but the river view is actually to the north. The residential complex is built along the riverbank, with all the fronts facing south-east, and the southeast is the Guanyin Mountain Scenic Area on the riverside.

The living room leads to a large terrace on the north-west side, from which you can overlook the river and both sides of the river. It is very comfortable to set up a parasol to enjoy the cool air on weekdays, or set up a table for a small barbecue.

The living room has a large floor-to-ceiling window facing south-east, and a glass door leads to the balcony, allowing sunlight to reach the house on weekdays. The living room is large enough to be used for a set of boxing as long as there is less clutter.

There is also a corridor on one side of the living room, leading to a master bedroom, a second bedroom, and the other two rooms can be arranged as a study and a storage room respectively...He Kao doesn't really need them.

After looking around, He Kao had an idea in his mind. He decided to practice here from now on. Anyway, he didn't care about the distance. He could get here as long as he raised his feet.

This time, he didn't leave the house through space, but walked out of the community by elevator as usual. Shortly after he went downstairs, someone called -

"Boss, someone's been here. It's that wild kid who showed up out of nowhere. He came to look at the house and just left... Got it, take action right away and give him a surprise!"

Compared to ordinary people, He Kao now possesses special skills. As soon as he walked out of the corridor, he found someone staring at him secretly, and he also heard the phone call.

He walked out of Guanliu Community with a normal expression, disappeared in a quiet place, and returned to Room 602, Building . Unfortunately, there was not even a stool here, so he disappeared again in a flash, and reappeared with a chair.

He Kao sat in the chair and waited quietly, restraining his breath as if he didn't exist. Not long after, a surprise came.

It was a "visit" in the physical sense. Two guys in property maintenance uniforms came to the door stealthily, managed to connect the power in the corridor, and quickly did a few spot welds with welding guns.

They welded the security door of this house shut. How wicked! If I didn't have the ability to travel through space, I probably wouldn't be able to get out today. I'd have to ask the fire department for help.

He Kao sat in the room listening to the noise outside the door, sneering in his heart - is this the only dirty trick he has?
The other party had no intention of blocking him in the door, but waited until he left before attacking. He Kao did not do anything on the spot, as he did not need to get involved with such a person.

He Kao would not do anything lightly even if there was a slight possibility of exposing Yin Mo's identity.

He left the house and bought some things outside, including a few plastic balcony chairs, a folding table, and a large bag of toilet paper, and then drove back to Guanliu Community like an ordinary person.

I parked my car in the basement and carried my belongings upstairs, only to discover the door had been welded shut. Terrified, I called the property management and the police...

"Don't violate the situation, first report it to the authorities."

That’s what He Kao did.
