Carrying the little lucky star, leading the villain on the road to exile

Chapters 631 and 632. Seeking Help
In Yunni's view, the father and daughter had no credibility whatsoever; once they took someone away, they never came back.

It's not that these people are ungrateful, but rather that they are burdened with so many things on their minds, so busy that they have no time to come back and visit their mentor.

Gu Xingyang chuckled dryly, "Uncle Yun, don't be so stingy. How about I go talk to Senior Brother Whale myself?"

"Go ahead," Yunni said, amused. That kid was single-minded; once he decided to stay by her side and fulfill his filial duties, he wouldn't be lured away.

“But it would be a waste of his talents to keep him on this island. He’s only in his early twenties, isn’t he?” Gu Kaiyuan also chimed in, saying that Whale was skilled in martial arts and had excellent management abilities. If they could bring him to their side, things would be much easier for them in the future.

“He’s not that old, he’s only 16 this year,” Yunni rolled her eyes at him. “He’s still just a child, he still has a long way to go before he grows up.”

“He does need to grow,” Gu Xingyang said with a smile and a nod. “But this is just a small, broken island, and he only cares about trivial matters. We have a bigger stage for him to perform on.”

Yunni said, "I'll say it again: as long as you can persuade him!"

“Uncle Yun, this is so tasteless. You know that Senior Brother Whale listens to you the most. This is just a matter of you saying a word.”

Yunni deliberately sniffed the clothes, "There's definitely no smell. Although we're on an island, we don't lack fresh water."

Your senior brother didn't sign a contract of servitude, so he can go wherever he wants, and I won't interfere.

"Alright, let's not stand here enjoying the sea breeze. I've been making some tea myself lately; could you please try it?"

"You should really try it. You always follow the instructions in the book to stir-fry tea, but you never seem to succeed. What's wrong? Did you manage to brew tea this time?"

"Of course, after failing so many times, I would be too ashamed to face anyone if I didn't succeed again."

Gu Xingyang, "Aren't you sorry for those tea trees?"

Gu Kaiyuan tapped his daughter on the head, "Don't be so disrespectful. Let's keep quiet about what's going on."

Yunni chuckled twice, already used to the two of them acting like idiots. He decided that when he got back, he wouldn't bring out his most successful brew of tea, but would definitely let them taste something different.

"Gu Kaiyuan, I've gotten on your pirate ship. We agreed that I would only help you train some people for a year, but I've ended up staying with you for over ten years. Am I a loyal brother?"

Gu Kaiyuan replied, "That goes without saying. I'll always remember this favor. Now, what do you want this time?"

"Ha! They really are just as unlikable as ever."

"Even so, you shouldn't come here every time to ask for favors. Don't you know that some things are worthless once you tell the truth?" Gu Kaiyuan curled his lips, thinking that this kid probably had some bad intentions again.

“Now that I’m on this island, what could I possibly need?” Yunni sighed. “I really need your help this time.”

Seeing that Yunni was different from usual, not joking around but rather serious, Gu Kaiyuan couldn't help but become serious as well. "Tell me, what happened? Don't make it sound so serious. I'll definitely help if I can."

"Some of my old buddies got too old to keep up with the pace, so they all eventually went back home."

Life is not easy for ordinary people. In just a few years, many people are struggling to make ends meet.

Yunni had no choice. In the past, when they were traveling the world, they didn't care about details and used whatever they had.

Even if some people have some savings, ordinary people face the daily grind of making a living and supporting their families. Coupled with their own unrestrained lifestyle, their previous savings are no longer enough.

In just a few years, some people have already lost the ability to make a living like ordinary people.

He didn't know how they found out, but they passed the message on to him. His wife had brought it along with the supplies last time, and he'd been thinking about it a lot lately.

People's hearts are fickle, and he didn't know what these people were like now, so he really didn't dare to provoke them here.

But when he actually washes his hands of it, he really can't, because there are still a few people he's been through thick and thin with.

In my past life, I've always incurred debts of gratitude, and these debts must be repaid.

These people have now gathered together again and sent me messages asking for help; it would be really inexcusable not to help.

Even if he no longer works in the underworld, he doesn't want the good reputation he's built up to be ruined.

After explaining the situation, Gu Kaiyuan pondered for a moment before asking, "What do you want?"

"As the saying goes, it is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish, but I also know that this island is of great importance to us, and I will not take them across."

I was just wondering if you had a good place to settle them, as long as they could support their families, that would be enough to repay your kindness.

"Those people who escorted us with you before?"

Yunni thought for a moment and said, "Some people are, but there are some I haven't seen for a long time."

Several of his brothers stayed with him back then and still live on this island now. However, they are more open-minded than he is, having completely cut off all contact with the outside world and living a secluded life here.

If those people knew that they were living a life of plenty with no worries, they would probably be envious and have their own thoughts.

However, these people were all too ambitious to settle down and make a name for themselves, and eventually, they were forced by reality to return to their hometowns.

Yunni couldn't trust bringing people over with her.

Gu Kaiyuan has treated them well, so he can't let him down.

"So how do you want to arrange it?" Gu Kaiyuan glanced at his daughter, but Gu Xingyang was only focused on admiring the changes on the island and didn't pay any attention to them.

Gu Kaiyuan could tell from her attitude that she probably didn't want to get involved in this matter.

"You have quite a few businesses now, I wonder if there's any way to arrange something for them to do."

"Can they really settle down and get things done?" Gu Kaiyuan expressed his doubts. If they really had that kind of determination, they could find work anywhere.

Yunni sighed, "They wrote to me hoping to find a way to survive. I can give each of them some money, but that's only a temporary solution, not a long-term one. I'm afraid it will never end."

I can do some simple tasks, but when it comes to using my brain, I really can't do it. That's why I've come to you for help."

After Yunni finished speaking, he breathed a sigh of relief, feeling as if a huge weight had been lifted off his shoulders, because he believed that Gu Kaiyuan was a smart man and would definitely be able to solve the problem well.

Gu Kaiyuan was cursing under his breath; how was he supposed to solve this?

"I could arrange for them to work on the farm, but would they really be able to settle down and farm?"

As for assigning someone to a shop, Gu Kaiyuan definitely didn't want to, since those shops were managed by people he knew well, and he didn't want to cause them any trouble.
