Chapter 200: How Did You Guess That?

Seeing that Zhu Gaoxi was just a child was clearly beyond the old man's expectations.

Hesitating slightly, the old man weakened the force of his strike by ninety percent.

Zhu Gaoxi had originally been circulating his internal energy in secret, his fingers pressed together.

But seeing the other party pull back his strength, he gritted his teeth and decided to take a gamble.

He put away the Nianhua Finger he had already prepared.

It takes a long time to tell, but in reality, it only took a few seconds.

Zhu Gaoxi had already been grabbed by the old man.

The old man looked around, then grabbed Zhu Gaoxi and quickly returned inside the house.

By the time the old man had grabbed Zhu Gaoxi and returned inside, the little girl had only just come to her senses.

Seeing her grandfather had grabbed a little boy about her own age, the little girl opened her big eyes and curiously sized up Zhu Gaoxi.

At this moment, the old man also released Zhu Gaoxi and likewise began to look him up and down.

Being stared at by this old man and young girl, Zhu Gaoxi felt immense pressure; he kept feeling that the other party's gaze was somewhat strange.

But fortunately, the old man only looked for a few moments before withdrawing his gaze.

He then asked Zhu Gaoxi, "Little one, who are you? Why don't I remember this Red Rainbow Hall having a child like you?"

Hearing the old man's inquiry, Zhu Gaoxi was clearly well-prepared.

Regarding his identity, he had already thought of his story.

At once, Zhu Gaoxi said, "I was separated from my family and met Deputy Hall Master Yu of your esteemed hall..."

Following that, Zhu Gaoxi briefly explained the sequence of events.

Such matters could be verified with a single question, so lying was meaningless.

Furthermore, Zhu Gaoxi looked to be no more than four or five years old.

The old man knew children of this age better than anyone.

His own granddaughter was this age; although she was full of energy every day, she had no bad intentions whatsoever.

Therefore, the old man trusted Zhu Gaoxi's words quite a bit.

But immediately after, the old man continued to ask, "Then why were you lurking outside my house?"

Hearing the old man's words, Zhu Gaoxi feigned an innocent look.

For a moment, Zhu Gaoxi did not answer, but simply pointed in the direction outside the house.

Seeing Zhu Gaoxi act this way, the old man frowned, not knowing what Zhu Gaoxi wanted to express.

Just then, a chorus of crickets chirped in the direction Zhu Gaoxi was pointing.

After hearing it, the old man suddenly realized; this was purely a misunderstanding.

Zhu Gaoxi was a little boy, different from his little granddaughter.

His little granddaughter would at most pester her grandfather to tell stories or crave some delicious food.

It was perfectly normal for a little boy to be active from a young age and like these crickets.

As if remembering his own childhood, the old man smiled and nodded.

He knew he had misunderstood Zhu Gaoxi.

But right now, there was clearly still one problem.

The child before him had seen him at this time; he absolutely could not let him go out and talk nonsense, otherwise, it would ruin a major affair.

Thinking this, the old man coughed lightly and then flashed what he thought was his most benevolent smile at Zhu Gaoxi.

Zhu Gaoxi felt somewhat panicked by the old man's sudden smile.

He thought the old man had seen through his lie.

One had to know that his explanation just now still contained many loopholes.

After all, he hadn't explained clearly why Yu Feipeng helped him, nor why the Black Tiger Gang was giving him trouble.

He had just glossed over it simply.

After all, a four or five-year-old child carrying a large sum of money was a sensitive matter.

Zhu Gaoxi didn't say it because he was afraid the old man would grow suspicious.

But what he didn't know was that the old man had already completely believed his story.

After all, it was perfectly normal for a four or five-year-old child's account to have some flaws.

If it were flawless, that would be the real problem.

His main priority now was to confirm whether Zhu Gaoxi knew his identity.

Thinking this, the old man smiled and said to Zhu Gaoxi, "Do you know who I am?"

Hearing the other party's words, Zhu Gaoxi was startled.

He subconsciously wanted to shake his head to indicate he didn't know.

After all, although he had some guesses, they were just guesses, and he wasn't certain of the old man's true identity.

But if he refused just like that, Zhu Gaoxi knew the following conversation would surely be dull, and in the end, the old man would let him go without saying anything more.

After all, who would pay excessive attention to a four or five-year-old child?

Thinking this, Zhu Gaoxi decided to take a gamble.

With a conclusion in his heart, Zhu Gaoxi nodded directly and replied to the old man, "You must be the old Hall Master of the Red Rainbow Hall."

Hearing Zhu Gaoxi's answer, the old man was shocked.

A look of disbelief appeared in his eyes.

Seeing this, Zhu Gaoxi's heart immediately settled.

He knew he had guessed correctly!

Then the matters that follow will be much easier to resolve.

It was not just the old man who felt it was inconceivable.

Even the little girl standing to the side, who had not said a word the entire time and had only been curiously sizing up Zhu Gaoxi, also wore a look of astonishment.

Afterwards, unable to care about anything else, the little girl directly asked the question the old man also wanted to ask.

"How did you know?"

Seeing this, Zhu Gaoxi smiled slightly.

At such a young age, he actually had a somewhat inscrutable air about him at this moment.

Zhu Gaoxi appeared to be addressing the little girl, but in reality, he was secretly watching the old man as he replied: "Actually, all of this is just something I guessed a moment ago."

"Oh? How did you guess it?"
