"Going on the mission alone?"
Xu Ran spoke boldly, leaving the director, Li Qinghong, ntor Lin Chang, Aunt Lu... all in silence.
The director waved his hand: "Little Ran, though you have Comprehension Root Bone and I trust your intelligence, you’re only six years old. No matter what, we cannot let you take such risks!"
Aunt Lu: "Yes, children under eight haven’t started cultivation, their bodies are as fragile as paper, one slip and it’s over. You only need to tell us the plan, we’ll execute it!"
The director frowned: "Moreover, just because a plan is devised, does it an it can be implented? Does it guarantee success?"
"Sure, we ca up with a few plans earlier, like directly transporting the children out of the city — this seed feasible, but when the Investigation Corps tried, it was utterly impossible."
"Then, Qinghong suggested that Illusion Elent Cultivators create illusions for the Nightmare Vengeful Mother, using the illusion to buy ti and transport the children from Demigod Kindergarten. But this plan also failed! Several Illusion Elent Cultivators fainted directly."
"Even the Isolation Array by Huang Liang, Zhao Ying, and Gao Yuan couldn’t block the Nightmare Vengeful Mother..."
"This shows that the Nightmare Vengeful Mother is exceptionally tricky, not just any plan will work... Is your plan really feasible? Can you be certain it has no flaws?"
The director’s expression was solemn, speaking earnestly and sincerely.
Xu Ran’s face radiated with confidence: "...Almost no flaws. So risk, but not much."
Huh?
So confident?
Everyone was stunned.
But soon, ntor Lin Chang shook his head seriously: "No, no, no, what if there’s a fatal flaw in your plan that even you’ve overlooked?"
Child, perhaps you should share your plan! We can discuss it together, perfect it together. If we deem it feasible, we’ll follow your plan! Where there is danger, let us handle it!"
ntor Lin Chang’s approach is the safest, proposing a plan, then testing it several tis to correct deficiencies before implentation — that’s the right way.
Yet faced with the elders’ concern.
Xu Ran shook his head confidently: "Firstly, walls have ears. Once the plan is spoken, it becos ineffective."
"Secondly, once I ca up with my plan, it was already quite perfect and needs no improvents."
"As for the safety concerns, you can ask Uncle Ye. Isn’t my self-preservation thod still good?"
Director: "Really?"
ntor: "...Pingzi, what do you say?"
All eyes gradually landed on Ye Ping.
Uncle Ye: "..."
He had indeed witnessed Xu Ran’s skills, his speed far exceeds an Early Stage Hill Realm Cultivator, instantly slaying a Crystal Beast with 40,000 Qi Blood Value, and can use Invisibility! He’s definitely not just six.
Given the omnipotence of Xu Ran’s Comprehension Root Bone, he might be hiding more strange abilities...
But...
But...
Ye Ping took a deep breath: "Little Ran, I know you have your trump cards, but do you really not need protection?"
Xu Ran smiled slightly: "Really no need. You can rest assured, I’ll return triumphant!"
Mom reacted intensely: "Brat, don’t set a flag before departing!!! Also, can’t you choose a safer plan? Must you go alone?"
Xu Ran shook his head: "Ti is tight, everyone has failed with dozens of plans already. Since I’ve thought of one, I certainly must try. We can’t just watch the Nightmare Vengeful Mother jump around in front of , right?"
Mom hesitated: "..."
Xu Ran: "By the way, Uncle Ye, co with ..."
As Xu Ran turned to leave, Tiger Girl suddenly jumped in front of him, her sparkling eyes staring at him: "Brother Ran, give your hand."
Xu Ran curiously: "What’s up? You’re not going to give a little red flower, are you?"
Tiger Girl mysteriously: "Not a little red flower, just give your hand~"
"Alright..."
Xu Ran obediently stretched out his hand, Tiger Girl imdiately grasped his palm, strands of golden light coursing along his hand, directly into his heart.
Xu Ran, surprised: "What is this?"
Tiger Girl enigmatically pointed at the sky where the Nightmare Vengeful Mother was: "To protect you~ If you don’t say it out loud, she won’t know!"
Xu Ran chuckled: "Thank you, Tiger... Thank you, Liuli sister. Once I’ve slain the Nightmare Vengeful Mother, I’ll take you out shopping."
Tiger Girl: "Sure, sure. Good luck! See you when you’re back!"
Zhu Yuheng walked over to Tiger Girl: "Little Ran... I... I have sothing too."
"You have one too?"
Zhu Yuheng: "Yes... Yes indeed."
Xu Ran extended his palm, Zhu Yuheng’s icy little hand tightly grasped his, ripples spread along his arm, rging into his brow.
"Thank you!"
Zhu Yuheng: "No... No need to thank!"
Xu Ran bead: "Alright, thank you Liuli sister and Zhu Yuheng for the Divine Techniques’ blessing. Rest assured, I will return safely and triumphantly!"
"By the way, Uncle Ye, let’s have a chat over there."
Xu Ran led Uncle Ye to the nearby grove, and in the darkness, the Substitute Paperman, having already captured a spirit, appeared while Xu Ran’s true body silently vanished, lurking in the darkness.
"Uncle Ye, I’m going into the Dream Realm to slay the Nightmare Vengeful Mother. Can you look after my body?"
Ye Ping: "...????"
Look after the body? It’s clearly the Substitute Paperman, alright? I’ve seen it all from behind, crystal clear!
Even though he didn’t know why Xu Ran was lying, he didn’t inquire further.
Little Ran must have his reasons for lying.
He rely acted like a toolman, hugging the Substitute Paperman that was lying on the ground, glancing towards the direction Xu Ran disappeared.
’I must say, just two days have passed and his Invisibility Skill has grown more refined. It takes two or three scans for my Spiritual Power probe to detect him.’
