Gu Yuan was imdiately stumped by Yun Ran’s question, truly feeling guilty. Ever since he was a child, he had done countless foolish things.
Even now, he would occasionally sabotage the people from Gu Family, and of course, he didn’t spare certain individuals from the Special Administration Bureau either.
Was it because his mind was too filled with sches that he suffered so terribly from this surge of righteousness just now?
"Hey, that’s not right. Why did that power have no effect on you? You’re not any less petty than I am!"
Gu Yuan simply couldn’t believe that there were genuinely people in this world with purely clean minds, devoid of any other thoughts.
Yun Ran then showed a scar on her arm that looked like a birthmark: "See this? It’s from being struck by Heavenly Thunder, even the rit Golden Light can’t heal this scar.
I’ve even withstood Heavenly Thunder and have the protection of rit Golden Light, this power can’t hurt unless it’s thousands or millions of tis stronger—then maybe I’d be done for."
The slightly imbalanced Gu Yuan, upon seeing the scar on Yun Ran’s hand, couldn’t help but wish to slap himself: How very deserved, to be hurt by this power, serves you right for being petty!
"So what do we do now, just go back in disgrace?"
Thinking about facing the stern face of their boss and his fixed gaze, Gu Yuan felt a chill run down his spine.
"Of course not, you might have no sha, but I need to maintain my dignity!"
Had they not known the Tan Family people, it wouldn’t matter if they lost face, but the Tan Family was clearly aware of her background, and she couldn’t afford to lose face.
"It’s my turn to lead the charge now, you back up!"
Gu Yuan didn’t think twice and nodded imdiately, not uttering any refusals or excuses, or claiming his greater experience. Not a word.
Yun Ran: ...
Yun Ran first sent out a Little Paperman to scout and see if it could clear a path for her.
After a long while, the Little Paperman struggled back, even bearing so faint, indiscernible cracks.
"No way, even your Little Paperman couldn’t get through!"
Gu Yuan knew all too well the capabilities of the Little Paperman, an excellent tool for scouting and signaling.
Yun Ran carefully examined the injuries on the Little Paperman, her expression sowhat troubled.
"The Little Paperman was created by for the sake of my own laziness; they were never ant for a righteous cause, so they also beco targets."
Gu Yuan was instantly dumbstruck: "Does your statent an that any being or thing with selfish intentions, even magic, will be indiscriminately attacked!"
Yun Ran nodded her head.
"But then, are all other people in this manor devoid of personal desires? What about them, aren’t they attacked?"
Yun Ran imdiately glared at Gu Yuan: "I’m not an Immortal, if I knew everything and even understood the trajectory of this power, would I still be here testing it?"
For now, their only option was to report back and perhaps, those prominent figures from Xuan Sect who had accompanied them knew about this situation.
The two nestled in the greenhouse, wholly lacking any sense of being in hiding.
While waiting for a response, Gu Yuan casually plucked several flowers and toyed with the petals, and Yun Ran, not idling around either, started taking photos of herself and the flowers with her phone.
After a long wait, Gu Yuan’s phone rang, with a reply coming through.
Yun Ran imdiately set down her phone and joined him, recognizing the ssage was sent from a secure phone system within the Special Administration Bureau.
Yun Ran was internally cringing about the difference between temporary and full-ti employees, (ˉ▽￣～) Tch~~.
However, upon seeing the received ssage, Yun Ran fell unusually silent. Even as a prominent disciple of Qingfeng Temple, she was ignorant of this.
Gu Yuan felt a surreal sense of, ’Where am I, and what am I doing here?’
"Borrowing national fate, seeking immortality? Do such thods truly exist?"
Listening to Gu Yuan’s doubts, Yun Ran didn’t respond. She had only heard of Evil Cultivators pondering over Forbidden Techniques to seek immortality or steal good fortune.
She never knew that soone would use such ostensibly orthodox Xuan Sect thods to intercept fate and seek longevity.
Even if such techniques didn’t seem like Evil Cultivator Forbidden Techniques, the Xuann people would never allow them to exist. Opening this door would lead to utter chaos in the world.
Dark Masters have their own nations to consider; if the national fate was stolen, that nation would continuously suffer natural disasters and human misfortunes until its demise. Nobody wants to live a life of displacent.
"Our seniors are instructing us to withdraw; this isn’t sothing we juniors can figure out."
Upon Gu Yuan’s words, Yun Ran didn’t move; sothing seed to be pulling her to investigate further—she rarely felt this way.
Yun Ran looked at Gu Yuan and softly said, "How about you go back first? I would like to take another look around."
Gu Yuan instantly widened his eyes in disbelief.
"What nonsense are you spouting? How could I possibly leave you alone in such a dangerous place? We’ve shared life and death before, we must face difficulty together."
Yun Ran ignored Gu Yuan, collected her belongings, and headed towards the outside of the greenhouse.
She didn’t wear any talisman paper on her body and just walked forward, clearly testing it herself.
Gu Yuan followed from a distance without showing himself, quickly reaching the spot where he was previously injured.
At that mont, the invisible force surged towards Yun Ran.
Fortunately, the power didn’t suppress Yun Ran; instead, it passed over her body like a breath of spring.
Yun Ran touched the intangible force, her eyes filled with indescribable emotion.
Was this the epito of righteous power? Gentle, soft, without a trace of fierceness.
From a distance, Gu Yuan watched this scene, his heart in his throat, genuinely fearful that Yun Ran would be incapacitated by that power just like he had been.
With his abilities, he had no way to rescue Yun Ran.
At that mont, the person who had appeared before with the image of an Immortal appeared again, although no one saw how he materialized, he simply appeared in front of Yun Ran.
The ’Immortal’ looked at Yun Ran, a slight curiosity in his eyes: "Are you the one who intruded earlier? But why have you co back now?"
Yun Ran didn’t sense any special power from this person, but her sixth sense told her she was no match for him.
Facing his gaze, Yun Ran candidly said: "I am the one from before, I ca back because I really want to know what kind of Array this actually is?"
The Immortal smiled at Yun Ran: "You really want to know? Then co with and see for yourself."
Faced with this invitation, Yun Ran willingly complied.
