"Yun Ran, you’ve got so nerve, daring to harm your own people!"
Just monts ago, they could feel that this female Evil Ghost truly wanted to kill them all.
They had never dread that the iron law of the Special Administration Bureau would one day beco their life-saving talisman.
Yun Ran raised her hand and flicked her fingers lightly.
Mo Zhi imdiately released her grip on the other party’s neck respectfully and then obediently retreated to Yun Ran’s side.
Yun Ran continued to laugh carelessly, "Are you injured? Where’s the evidence?"
Wan Ji was completely dumbfounded by this scene. He couldn’t help but rub his eyes and took another look at Mo Zhi’s feet hovering in the air.
She was clearly floating over there; if he wasn’t ntally strong, he would have fainted by now.
No wonder when the higher-ups heard that people from the Special Administration Bureau were coming, they were so serious in instructing them not to offend these individuals, or else they would not be able to handle the consequences.
But just hearing it, he didn’t have much of a concept. Now that he had seen it with his own eyes, he realized how shocking it was.
The thoughts he had been tangled about just a mont ago, he had to unconditionally lean towards Lady Yun’s side now.
Wan Ji imdiately moved closer to where Yun Ran was, signaling with his actions that he was Yun Ran’s loyal guard.
Ginsengfruit saw Wan Ji’s movent, pursed his lips with so disdain, but didn’t say anything and obediently drank his soup.
The four from the headquarters originally planned to talk with Yun Ran, giving up the benefits offered by the Murong Family was sothing they really couldn’t bear.
If they could take down Yun Ran and find sothing on her, even Director Xie would have nothing to say.
But they hadn’t expected Yun Ran to be so slippery.
Then they recalled the recent events at the Hai City Branch and Director Xie’s actions in this half of the year, they quickly understood everything – they had been played.
The person in charge glanced at Yun Ran deeply and then turned to leave, the other three snorted coldly and followed suit.
Ginsengfruit muttered softly, "I knew it would end like this, just a total waste of our dinner ti."
Yun Ran also felt a bit awkward.
It was all because the people from headquarters were too observant, it made her feel embarrassed to play her hand. She felt stuck, and it was really upsetting.
Seeing that she was not needed anymore, Mo Zhi obediently returned to her temporary dwelling.
When they had finished eating and Wan Ji left, he was extrely careful.
"I thought he was so brave, with hardly a change in expression. It turns out he was scared too. Host, letting him see Mo Zhi directly, he won’t have nightmares tonight, right?"
"You still have the mood to worry about others? Didn’t you see those people from headquarters staring at you for a good while? I just gave them a loss of face, be careful they start targeting you."
Ginsengfruit: ...
"Host, I’m not scared like that. Can you please rein in your wicked sense of humor? I’m a child now; scaring children, how are you any different from Wolf Grandma?"
Yun Ran poked Ginsengfruit’s head: "You’re the Wolf Grandma. I’m the eternally youthful and beautiful young girl!"
Ginsengfruit imdiately covered his head with his hands; ever since he transford into Little Fatty, the Host has been especially fond of poking his head, how annoying!
The few from headquarters returned to their own tent camp, each face dark enough to start a dye workshop.
"Minister, are we really going to let that little girl dean us like this?"
"Who could have imagined Deputy Director Xie had such an ace up his sleeve? No wonder he turned the Hai City Branch upside down in just a few months!"
"That girl, she’s too wicked, not only does she have a Magic Artifact like Little Paperman, but she’s also got Evil Ghosts around her that we can’t make heads nor tails of. She wouldn’t be so Evil Cultivator, would she?"
...
For those who have never been on the losing end their entire lives, how could they bear such a situation as they all began to vent.
The one addressed as Minister, Duan Shouyuan, remained silent and did not join their complaints.
Of course, he didn’t stop them either. Since they had already fallen out with each other, and it was quite possible that the Little Paperman was spying on them nearby.
They didn’t care anymore. Who doesn’t have a couple of people they dislike? What’s the harm in cursing soone out?
After a few complaints, they felt better, but they also keenly sensed that sothing was off with the Minister.
"Minister, what’s wrong?"
Duan Shouyuan’s gaze beca distant: "Originally, I just wanted to probe Yun Ran’s background, to see if she is as formidable as the rumors say.
But you all saw the outco; she is even more formidable than the rumors we’ve heard.
You all know about the affairs of the Northwest Branch. This girl even knows purification magic; I wonder, just how profound is the sect behind her?"
The Xuan Sect may seem to still be glorious, but only those with actual say in the Mystical Sect know.
After that great catastrophe, the Xuan Sect began to decline.
Many of the Xuan Sect’s legacies were lost during that ti, so through the chaos, but others were deliberately suppressed.
When the Xuan Sect was powerful, many of its people didn’t treat ordinary humans with respect, causing the deaths of many innocents.
Among those ordinary people, there were clever ones. During the catastrophe, they beca catalysts and took the chance to seek revenge.
If not for the fact that the Xuan Sect is now in decline, constantly restrained, they would not care so much about the resources of the Murong Family.
All they do now is to gain more say.
What Yun Ran had shown Duan Shouyuan, he believed, could not have been taught by any other Mystical Sect.
Therefore, he suspected that Yun Ran might belong to so hidden Mystical Sect aristocratic family.
The others, hearing Duan Shouyuan’s words, suddenly understood his aning.
"Minister, you’re not really believing that the great catastrophe truly led to powerful figures from the Xuan Sect going into hiding, and Yun Ran is their inheritor, are you?"
Duan Shouyuan also found this speculation far-fetched but he would rather believe Yun Ran has inherited from a hidden Mystical Sect than believe she is an Evil Cultivator.
"She is Deputy Director Xie’s person; there can’t be any issues with her identity."
Upon hearing this, the others were also disheartened. They knew very well what kind of person Xie Xuzhi was; not only was he ruthless and cunning, he would never allow soone with an unknown or problematic background close to him.
Subordinates, worried that the Minister might make concessions to win over Yun Ran, quickly said: "Even if she is the heir of so hidden Mystical Sect, she’s not walking the sa path as us. She has no desire in her eyes."
