After a long pause, Yun Ran fiercely said, "Is this person nuts?!"
If I had known this guy was so single-minded, doing whatever ca to his mind, I should have just killed him back then!
Xuan Chu sighed lightly, "The previous incident with the Puppet robot could be said to affect the balance of Life under the Heavenly Dao, so the Heavenly Dao Village could intervene.
But now, it’s obviously a personal vendetta. Those Evil Cultivators coming in groups to cause you trouble—Heavenly Dao Village cannot intervene in this.
You also pissed off the Xuan Sect forces in Huannan earlier, so relying on them is impossible. How about we leave Huannan now..."
Xuan Chu felt he was proposing a feasible solution.
To his surprise, Yun Ran exploded like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.
"I, Yun Ran, in this lifeti, will never flee because of Evil Cultivators! They should be the ones afraid of !"
Xuan Chu naturally wasn’t afraid of those Evil Cultivators, but he feared soone might trip up Yun Ran, feared Yun Ran’s current state might be exposed, feared Yun Ran might be ambushed...
However, seeing Yun Ran’s angry expression, Xuan Chu swallowed back his explanations that were on the tip of his tongue.
"I’ll have soone closely monitor those people’s movents."
With that, Xuan Chu turned around to make a phone call. Since Yun Ran was unwilling to leave, he would do his best to facilitate things for Yun Ran.
Many tis, Yun Ran’s anger was just a way to express her speechlessness, not genuine anger.
But this ti, Yun Ran was genuinely angry. Trying to take her life while she was down, what were they thinking!
Even if the Xuan Sect forces in Huannan couldn’t be used, so what? Even if she had no quarrel with them, she would never seek them out.
The forr richest Zhao Family in Huannan could collaborate with those Black Robed People right under their noses and go unnoticed.
Either the Xuan Sect people in Huannan were useless, or those Black Robed People had already infiltrated and were covering for them.
Yun Ran glanced at the Little Paperman and beckoned it over with her hand.
The Little Paperman imdiately threw down the rag in its hand and flew over, "Master, what are your orders?"
"Go find He Tu for ! There’s no reason for the ss he made to be all dumped on !"
During their encounter on Death Mountain, Yun Ran clashed with He Tu, and the Little Paperman could naturally sense He Tu’s presence, making it easy to find him.
"Yes, Master, I’ll go right now!"
With a swift move, the Little Paperman disappeared.
Watching the Little Paperman leave, Yun Ran took out her phone and called Gu Yuan to borrow people from him, to help guard against interference from the Huannan Xuan Sect.
At this mont, Gu Yuan was lazily lying at ho on vacation. Although the Love Poison implanted in him had been removed, he had truly suffered.
Seeing Yun Ran’s call, Gu Yuan’s spirit imdiately perked up.
"Ranran, how co you’re calling ? Have you returned to Hai City? I’m on vacation, so let’s et up for tea~"
Before, she didn’t think much of it, but now hearing Gu Yuan’s words, Yun Ran suddenly realized she seems to call Gu Yuan every ti she needs sothing from him.
If he were a bit narrow-minded, he’d probably think she’s like King Qi Xuan—seeking Zhong Wuyan in tis of need and Xia Yingchun in tis of leisure.
Yun Ran finally felt a pang of guilt.
"I’m not back in Hai City yet, I’m still in Huannan. Actually, I have a little favor to ask you..."
By the end of her sentence, Yun Ran’s voice had softened a bit.
But on the other end, Gu Yuan didn’t find anything amiss at all.
He quickly replied, "I’ll co straight over, wait for !"
With that, he hung up the phone without even asking what the matter was.
Quickly, he got soone to book the earliest flight for him, hastily packed so things, and rushed to the airport.
Looking at the disconnected call, Yun Ran then smiled brightly. Saving Gu Yuan back then despite her serious injuries was worth it.
After contacting Gu Yuan, Yun Ran called Asheng, a subordinate of her biological father Shen Jun.
At that mont, Asheng was wearing flip-flops, sitting at a street stall eating noodle soup when he heard the phone ring.
Without even looking, he picked up the phone, ready to scold the other person.
But then he heard Yun Ran’s voice, and Asheng was so startled he spat out the noodles.
He cleared his throat, "Miss, did you dial the wrong number?"
"No, I’m actually looking for you."
Asheng was stupefied, his face full of confusion, wondering, ’Who am I’ and ’Where am I’.
The Miss who seldom gave them ti of day was actually looking for him?
Fortunately, Asheng wasn’t a fool and quickly realized the situation.
"Miss, if you have any requests, just let know. I wouldn’t hesitate to climb a mountain of blades or descend into a sea of flas..."
Before Asheng could finish his pledge of loyalty, he was interrupted by Yun Ran.
She’d heard such words so often that her ears had grown callouses, nothing new.
"I wish to speak with your master."
Asheng was instantly excited. The master had strictly warned everyone not to stage any family reunion dramas under the guise of good intentions.
Although they all knew about the Miss, none dared show their faces before her lightly.
"Miss, you’re willing to et the master?"
Yun Ran couldn’t empathize with Asheng’s excitent and had no interest in a father-daughter reconciliation; she genuinely had business to discuss with Shen Jun.
She wasn’t the original owner of this body; back then, she could negotiate a profit-sharing deal with the Yun Family, and she could certainly talk with Shen Jun, her biological father, too.
In Yun Ran’s educational background, aside from life-and-death enemies, anyone else could sit down and talk.
"If he’s willing, then yes!"
Yun Ran hung up the call, and Xuan Chu returned.
"Based on the current information, quite a few people have co, and so are even disguising their identities. What I previously carried might not be enough.
I need to go to the underground auction in Huannan to bid on so materials. Do you want to co with ?"
Yun Ran shook her head, "I have other plans, you go ahead."
If not for certain items that he had to fetch back personally for safety, Xuan Chu wouldn’t want to leave Yun Ran alone.
Fortunately, with the Little Paperman around and the Magic Artifacts by Yun Ran’s side, leaving for a while shouldn’t be an issue.
"I’ll be back as soon as possible."
Shortly after Xuan Chu left, Yun Ran’s phone rang, displaying an encrypted number.
Upon answering, Yun Ran didn’t speak first.
But she clearly heard the person on the other end, whose emotions were fluctuating, and heard the labored breathing of soone seriously ill.
"I am Shen Jun..."
The first phone call between the unfamiliar father and daughter inevitably had an awkward atmosphere.
However, Yun Ran’s focus wasn’t on the awkwardness but rather on Shen Jun’s hoarse and low voice, confirming to her that Shen Jun was severely injured.
"You... were injured by Fire Techniques?"
