Listening to the chatter of the Little Papern, even those who knew Yun Ran’s identity felt a bit overwheld at the mont.
Not to ntion the Thunder Group, who didn’t know Yun Ran’s background. They looked like robots, stiffly turning their necks to glance at Yun Ran, then at the Little Papern.
In this mont, when most of the ground was covered in snow, their faces turned red with warmth.
If before they thought their responsibility was simply to assist Yun Ran in completing tasks when necessary,
now, after witnessing Yun Ran’s thods and the abilities of the Little Papern, they felt like their only purpose here was to fill the numbers for Yun Ran.
Other devices might lose track of the target due to the magnetic field, signal, and other reasons here,
but with the Little Papern, even if the snow grew thicker, it wouldn’t affect anything.
Minister Duan, based on the information previously received from the Northeast Branch, was certain that the villa the Little Papern ntioned was where Xu Wen and Zhu Qing were currently staying.
"The people from headquarters need ti to get here; we might have to revise our previous plans."
Elder Gong nodded as well. The folks from the Northeast Branch might not be unaware of the situation here.
But the ss had already been made so big that not everyone could handle it. Even if we went to the Northeast Branch for help now, they wouldn’t want to get involved.
Whoever agrees will bear the primary responsibility, and no one wants to take on such thankless tasks.
All they have to do is wait, wait for the incident to happen, for the people from the top to co down and investigate, and in the end, the responsibility will be shared by all, at which point, there’s safety in numbers.
Both Minister Duan and Elder Gong, being part of the sa system, knew these people were trying to protect themselves, and they couldn’t force them to assist.
"Why don’t we go find those two seniors?"
Minister Duan spoke first. Even if he had strong objections in his heart, he still had to refer to Xu Wen and Zhu Qing as seniors when he spoke.
Yun Ran watched his face of endurance and felt a bit distressed for him. This is what the people from these Mystical Sect families call propriety.
"You go see them; after all, you are from the Mystical Sect families, and they should give you so face."
The implication was clear: Yun Ran wasn’t planning to follow along.
Elder Gong thought for a mont before saying, "Are you planning to go to the Chaotic Stone Pile?"
Talking to a smart person is indeed easy; Yun Ran nodded.
"The deep mountain is so vast, and no one knows when the people from headquarters will arrive. We might as well first figure out the situation here.
Otherwise, when the people from headquarters arrive, they will be completely in the dark and waste ti. I don’t want to waste too much ti here."
Yun Ran can endure, but that doesn’t an she likes hardship. In such harsh climate conditions, she really doesn’t want to stay long.
It’s best to figure out the situation here during this ti and be ready to get to work as soon as the people from headquarters arrive.
Elder Gong: ...
He suddenly felt like he truly was getting old and entirely couldn’t keep up with the thinking pace of young people.
However, he couldn’t deny that Yun Ran’s suggestion was the best.
If it were anyone else, he might have rejected the proposal due to concerns for the person’s safety, but with Yun Ran, it’s no problem.
At this mont, Elder Gong finally appreciated the ease of having a reliable companion.
"Alright, see how many people you want to bring."
Yun Ran casually pointed to the mbers of the Thunderbolt Team: "I’ll take a few of them, and the rest of you can head over to the villa. I’ll have the Little Papern guide you.
Additionally, the Little Papern can also relay ssages for , so if you find anything, just tell them directly."
After saying that, Yun Ran allocated a couple of Little Papern to Elder Gong’s group while keeping the rest for herself.
Once the team reached an agreent, they ate a bit of dry food on the spot and started to split up and act.
Minister Duan watched the Little Paperman leading the way ahead, his gaze full of curiosity.
Last ti in the Northwest, he knew the Little Paperman was Yun Ran’s magic artifact and was powerful, but he hadn’t had close contact.
Now, seeing the Little Paperman occasionally reach out and grab a handful of air and stuff it into its mouth, its simplified facial features seed even more animated.
If he still couldn’t tell that the Little Paperman was far from a simple magical artifact, then it would be a waste of his years of cultivation.
Considering their difficulty in moving, the Little Paperman flew slowly, frequently checking back to make sure they weren’t falling behind.
As they moved forward, no one took the initiative to speak, leaving only the sound of footsteps on the snow, which was particularly cold and clear.
When the Little Paperman turned back to check again, Minister Duan finally couldn’t help himself.
He directly asked, "Are you catching bugs to eat?"
After all, Minister Duan couldn’t see what exactly the Little Paperman was grabbing, but he guessed it was so kind of small flying insects or sothing.
But in such cold weather, could there really be invisible small flying insects?
Considering the Little Paperman’s continual munching actions, Minister Duan began to feel sympathy, thinking how pitiful the Little Paperman was, having to find its own food.
Thinking this, Minister Duan didn’t even realize that he was silently blaming Yun Ran for being a Boss Zhou, not giving its Little Paperman so good food!
Upon hearing Minister Duan’s voice, the Little Paperman turned and looked over.
Its facial features were drawn in a cartoon style, and even though it had the appearance of a Little Paperman, it wasn’t eerie or frightening at all.
After blinking its eyes, the Little Paperman reacted and showed an angry expression.
"You’re the one catching bugs to eat! Your whole family’s catching bugs to eat!"
Minister Duan: ...
No one ntioned that even a Little Paperman could be so temperantal?
It really deserved to be sothing created by Yun Ran, with a bad temper carved from the sa mold as Yun Ran.
The Special Administration Bureau mbers carrying things behind were witnessing their minister getting scolded like this for the first ti.
Each quickly lowered their heads, afraid to show any inappropriate expressions.
Still unsatisfied after scolding Minister Duan, the Little Paperman put its hands on its round waist.
"In such cold weather, how could there be bugs? You’re so clueless! I’ll have to tell the master you’re really dumb!"
Minister Duan never imagined that a magic artifact would call him dumb—could such a thing happen?
Elder Gong, however, didn’t mind and was directly amused by the Little Paperman’s words.
As for Minister Duan’s awkwardness, oh, he didn’t care. Could he, an old man, possibly mind?
