Xuan Chu’s eyes reflected a hint of shock, much like those ’Saints’ living in their ivory towers, untouched by the world.
This is what happens when you haven’t been taught a lesson by society; who knows, you might end up being sold and still help count the money!
Yun Ran opened her mouth, then decisively shut it again.
The Ginsengfruit, lurking in the corner, chid in just in ti: [Well, Host, you kind of tricked people too back in the day; you just have a slight conscience, that’s all.]
Yun Ran, being called out on her past: [Shut up!]
The Ginsengfruit felt aggrieved Ծ‸Ծ; it was just worried that the Host might slip up and reveal the truth, stabbing soone’s heart.
If it were any other ti, it wouldn’t matter, but now, the Host is like a fragile porcelain; what if she gets beaten up?
Sitting opposite Yun Ran, Xuan Chu was oblivious to her having a round of ’exchanges’ with the Ginsengfruit.
When he saw Yun Ran looking at him with an expression as if he were a sucker.
Instinct told Xuan Chu that whatever Yun Ran hadn’t said yet was sothing he wouldn’t like to hear.
He imdiately spoke first to find himself a way out.
"Not everyone in the outer gate of Heavenly Dao Village is gifted. When the outer gate elder approached , the initial intent was simply to give so internal rewards to those who contributed greatly.
Considering their abilities, all I improved were so basic talisman papers and magic artifacts, the kind everyone has. Who would bother plotting over them?"
This tone is just like certain experts on TV making statents like ’if you’re broke, rent out your house to make money’.
Yun Ran thought once again, Heavenly Dao Village indeed has been secluded for too long, turning its children naive and overly idealistic.
"Do you know what types of talisman papers and magic artifacts are the best sellers on the market right now?
They’re almost all about fortune, wealth, and safety—items standard for ordinary people, posing virtually no harm.
But the items you improved, even the most basic ones, if they fall into the hands of soone with ill intentions, their power is on par with those of thermal weapons.
But applying for thermal weapons is very hard; even among the Yun Family’s hundreds of bodyguards, only a few qualify to apply.
These talisman papers and magic artifacts are different; ordinary people can’t spot them, and even security detectors can barely sense them.
If those missing people really do have sothing to do with the talisman papers and magic artifacts you improved, it can only an one thing: Your Heavenly Dao Village has long been infiltrated."
How could Heavenly Dao Village have any traitors! Xuan Chu instinctively wanted to refute to defend his people.
These are just so basic items, not worth the massive risk of internal people.
"It shouldn’t be possible; everyone in Heavenly Dao Village has traceable identities, so it’s very hard to infiltrate!"
Xuan Chu’s reaction was within Yun Ran’s expectations; just like if soone told her there was sothing wrong with people from Qingfeng Temple, she would react similarly.
She never liked to argue senselessly, so naturally, she wouldn’t argue with Xuan Chu.
Imdiately, she shrugged indifferently: "I’m just making a bold guess; take it however you like."
After she finished speaking, Yun Ran picked up her phone and continued playing, as if she wasn’t the one who just voiced such suspicions.
Yun Ran wasn’t bothered, but the Ginsengfruit was infuriated by Xuan Chu.
Puffing angrily, it huffed: [This guy is really as stubborn as a mule! Doesn’t he know that any large force has its parasites?
Even the Special Administration Bureau has traitors, let alone Heavenly Dao Village; those with malicious intents will always find a way in.]
Yun Ran continued playing her mobile ga, casually replying: [It would be more terrifying if he blindly trusted an outsider’s words.]
The Ginsengfruit thought about it and realized, oh right.
Ever since they’ve known Xuan Chu, he’s been like this.
Before seeing absolute proof, he’s stubborn to the core. Debating with him would be enough to drive soone crazy.
When Xuan Chu was dead set on believing Yun Ran was an apocalypse-bringer, he would monitor her every move.
It wasn’t until Yun Ran exposed the prohibition inside her to him, proving she couldn’t commit any world-shattering atrocities, that Xuan Chu finally cald down.
The Ginsengfruit sighed deeply: [Sigh, at least, he counts as a stubborn fellow who listens to reason.]
Yun Ran’s casual attitude in this small talk actually made the previously agitated Xuan Chu a little embarrassed.
"Sorry, I didn’t an to snap at you, nor do I not want to believe you, it’s just..."
"If you unquestioningly believe everything I say, your Heavenly Dao Village would already be dood."
Xuan Chu thought for a mont and then decided to pass on Yun Ran’s previous suspicions to his master who was investigating.
Perhaps it’s human nature; if Yun Ran insisted on arguing with him, the more agitated he would have beco. Her indifferent attitude, however, cald him and made him think.
"Master, the Special Administration Bureau’s car is here!"
The Little Paperman extended its senses over dozens of miles, and as soon as the bureau’s car entered its range, it was imdiately detected.
The downpour outside also gradually stopped at that mont.
Maybe it knew that the rain was useless in punishing Yun Ran, so it just settled.
A slight smile tugged at Yun Ran’s lips: "Just in ti."
At this mont, the confidence and assertiveness on Yun Ran’s face inexplicably struck Xuan Chu, leaving him unable to describe the feeling.
Perhaps no one would believe she was now an ordinary person who couldn’t employ Xuan Sect thods.
This face hadn’t changed much, but it didn’t look like the sa person anymore.
Until they saw the people from the Special Administration Bureau, standing reverently, bowing before the RV.
Xuan Chu was suddenly enlightened.
He realized the difference lies here: the forr Yun Ran was reserved and discreet.
The present Yun Ran, her aura has solidified! Standing before anyone, her overt presence would make them wary.
The car door opened, and ignoring the ground’s muddy water, Yun Ran opened a black umbrella and gracefully got out of the car.
Unsure, Xuan Chu looked at the umbrella in Yun Ran’s hand, then tried recalling the RV door’s scene earlier—had that umbrella been there before?
Looking at the sky, he noted it wasn’t raining anymore, so why was Yun Ran still using an umbrella?
"Master Yun, sorry to keep you waiting, we have everything prepared, please co this way~"
Another person stood beside the car door, their gaze equally respectful and friendly, waiting for Xuan Chu to descend.
Until Yun Ran sat inside the Special Administration Bureau’s car, with the Little Paperman storing the luggage in place afterward.
The Ginsengfruit suddenly chuckled: [Host, you were pretending just now to impress, right, completely stunning Xuan Chu?]
Yun Ran toyed with her fingers, chuckling lightly: "How could that be? I’m not that petty!"
The Ginsengfruit wouldn’t buy it. Poor Xuan Chu, unaware he had offended the host, is in for a tough ti~!
