Gu Tao had become synonymous with being a complete fool, whether at school, at the base, as Sect Master, or as Mr. Gu—it all boiled down to the same thing.
He now had to wrap a plaid scarf around his head, obtained from Weiwei, leaving only his eyes visible when he went outside. Because of this, he was stopped and had his ID checked twenty-eight times by patrol officers, which discouraged him from going out at all, leaving him to shuttle between the school and the temporary base all day.
Xiuling, dealing with issues related to Sword Qi, had simply moved into the temporary base with her sister, and Gu Tao found himself with the chance to spend every day with his daughter. Xin Chen, on the other hand, seemed to have a mental condition as he too stopped going home, living there under the guise of a closed-door training, consistently challenging Xiuling to fights—which she couldn't win.
