The Little Paperman imdiately ca over, eyes sparkling: "Director Xie, do you have any orders for !"
Just by listening to the voice, you could tell how excited the Little Paperman was at this mont.
Having been idle for so long, they were almost getting moldy.
Without the master around, it felt like the Special Administration Bureau and the other Xuann people had a lot less to do.
(The others causing trouble for Qingfeng Temple doesn’t count)
Xie Xuzhi looked at the Little Paperman and pointed to his own head: "Can you see anything on my head?"
The Little Paperman had a face full of question marks.
Even though it didn’t quite understand why Director Xie asked this, the Little Paperman dutifully looked over at Xie Xuzhi’s head.
Uh...
There was nothing there~
However, the Little Paperman’s eyes turned, thinking that since Director Xie asked, there must be sothing wrong.
If it couldn’t see it, it ant it was still lacking in skill.
The master had instructed that if uncertain while following Director Xie, seek out Huaiyi True Master.
If sothing really happened and they missed it, it could lead to a disaster.
The master still needed the fortune on Director Xie, and if sothing were to happen to Director Xie, the master would be in trouble!
"Director Xie, hang on, I’m going to get soone!"
With a swoosh, the Little Paperman disappeared.
Xie Xuzhi couldn’t even get out his "no need" before it vanished.
In the end, he just let it go, sat back down, and waited for the Little Paperman to bring soone.
As soon as Xie Xuzhi sat down, the Little Paperman that had disappeared earlier reappeared before him.
Holding a palm-sized mirror, it handed it to Xie Xuzhi.
"Director Xie, this is a magic artifact given by Huaiyi True Master. It can reveal anything unusual on you."
Xie Xuzhi: ...
Even though he had been aware of the Little Paperman’s speed, this was too quick.
If soone unfamiliar saw this, they’d probably think the Little Paperman was just humoring him.
Xie Xuzhi took the mirror and looked.
What originally looked like nothing on his head transford in the reflection.
A red glowing line seed to pierce directly into his head, though it was hard to tell if it was an illusion.
The line on his head shone brightly, flickering as if soone were drawing energy from it.
The Little Paperman leaned in as well, seeing everything in the mirror.
Unlike Xie Xuzhi’s confusion, the Little Paperman’s face imdiately lit up with imnse joy.
"This is my master’s doing!"
If others heard this, who knows what kind of misunderstanding it would cause.
Xie Xuzhi felt that soon he must arrange for these Little Papern to attend lessons to avoid improper wording at tis.
"So it was Yun Ran, that’s fine then."
Xie Xuzhi put down the mirror, relieved to learn it was Yun Ran. If soone else did it, he’d think they were absorbing his Qi Fortune.
"By the way, how is Yun Ran doing now? Is she... alright?"
When agreeing to the Marriage Contract with Yun Ran, Xie Xuzhi knew all the potential outcos.
With Yun Ran’s personality, she wouldn’t resort to the Marriage Contract unless absolutely necessary.
This surely indicated Yun Ran’s fortune had suddenly weakened, unable to suppress the backlash.
The Little Paperman had absolute faith in its master.
"My master is surely fine, at most a little trouble."
Xie Xuzhi’s gaze turned distant, fingers unconsciously tightening around his pen, showing a worry even he wasn’t aware of.
"Of course, I believe in her. She is Yun Ran, the master of Qingfeng Temple."
Speaking of Qingfeng Temple, Xie Xuzhi asked again: "Are those people still there?"
At that ti, many Xuann people made a fuss together, going to Qingfeng Temple to cause trouble.
Claiming they wanted Yun Ran to share her opportunities with all the Xuann people.
Xie Xuzhi initially wanted to issue warnings and punishnts in the na of the Special Administration Bureau for those people.
But he was stopped by the Junior Master.
Though often the Special Administration Bureau could intervene in Xuann issues,
in matters like resource conflicts, it wasn’t the Bureau’s place to step in, or it would seem too incompetent.
Facing the Junior Master, Xie Xuzhi was humble, naturally complying with whatever Junior Master decided.
With the Special Administration Bureau not intervening, it gave those troublemakers the false impression that Qingfeng Temple’s connections weren’t significant.
Those people grew even more courageous.
But they never expected that upon reaching the mountain base of Qingfeng Temple, they couldn’t find the way up.
This was a huge slap to their faces.
They ca to cause trouble, yet couldn’t even find the entrance, let alone enter.
Many could only pin their hopes on those still "studying" inside Qingfeng Temple.
Sadly, even those "studying" couldn’t get more than five ters away from where they were.
Things reached a stalemate from there.
Now, those people encircled the mountain base of Qingfeng Temple for nearly half a month, not seeing a single resource, not even a hair.
When faced with Xie Xuzhi’s query, the Little Paperman snorted twice before saying: "They haven’t left, still lingering around there."
The Little Paperman wanted to spit too; those people had now beco the butt of a massive joke.
Still, they were in a tight spot; leave in sha, and their reputations would suffer.
But if they stayed, they couldn’t even see a single servant from Qingfeng Temple, losing more face.
Things were stuck as they were,
If before the Little Paperman was worried, now it could only applaud: not bad, Huaiyi True Master.
If they could keep its master, a restless storm-raiser, in check, they must not be ordinary.
Even without lifting a finger, just shutting them out had humiliated those fools.
Hm, serves them right!
If Xie Xuzhi knew the Little Paperman’s thoughts, he would surely nod in agreent.
Weren’t those people just asking for trouble?
The Special Administration Bureau hadn’t intervened at the start, nor would they later, as he never planned on offering them a gracious exit.
"They brought this upon themselves, can’t bla anyone else."
Xie Xuzhi had no idea he was entirely taking Yun Ran’s side.
With the update on Yun Ran, Xie Xuzhi felt uplifted.
He handed the mirror back to the Little Paperman: "You better return this mirror."
Feeling better, his spirits were lifted, ready to work overti tonight and finish the remaining docunts.
