The Little Paperman heard Xie Xuzhi’s words and stopped waving its hands. It pressed against the door seam and took a careful look.
Then it turned back to Xie Xuzhi: "No way, there are quite a few bugs outside watching us. If we go out, we’ll be exposed."
They were confident in avoiding various high-definition surveillance, but couldn’t escape the eyes of these bugs. Those bugs were specially cultivated to watch the Xuan Sect people.
The Little Paperman was a magic artifact made by Yun Ran, hence it was part of the Xuan Sect and could not evade the watchful eyes of those bugs.
Xie Xuzhi: ...
But because of what the Little Paperman said, Xie Xuzhi suddenly recalled so overlooked things.
To speak of the Xie Family, the people they cultivated were surely loyal.
When he was caught and nearly killed, after returning, his grandfather interrogated everyone around him.
Ultimately, naturally, they didn’t find out anything, but those people couldn’t stay around him any longer and were all banished abroad.
Now that he thinks about it, perhaps from the very beginning, every move he made was watched by these little bugs, without even the Xuan Sect masters around him being able to detect it.
Thinking about being watched all around by these little bugs, Xie Xuzhi suddenly broke out in goosebumps.
Seeing the obvious disgust emanating from Xie Xuzhi, the Little Paperman quickly added.
"But, killing these little bugs is quite simple; just prepare a special insecticide."
No matter how strong bugs are, they’re still bugs.
The only difference is these bugs have strong resistance to drugs, so regular insecticides are useless against them.
But given their current situation, it’s obviously impossible to gather materials to prepare insecticide, so saying it is like not saying anything.
Within a few breaths, Xie Xuzhi suppressed the growing disgust in his heart.
"They should make a move tonight, I won’t be in trouble for now, you go to Yun Ran!"
The Little Paperman’s heart was surely biased towards its owner, but it understood more clearly that the owner wouldn’t be in any trouble.
Director Xie is actually more in danger, although it seems he is being safeguarded by Jia Feng, one never knows what ideas are brewing amongst the Black Robed People.
"The owner will be alright; if the danger is sothing even the owner can’t withstand, our presence would be useless~"
The Little Paperman’s words were indeed reasonable, leaving Xie Xuzhi at a loss for rebuttal.
Night ca quickly.
A knock ca from outside the door, and Yun Ran, who had been sleeping soundly, suddenly opened her eyes.
Ginsengfruit hurriedly put things away and watched as Yun Ran sat up before going to open the door.
Compared to the approaching Black Robed person, Ginsengfruit was noticeably half his size, but the imposing aura was not a bit weak.
Ginsengfruit lightly raised his eyelid, showing a faint look of disdain.
"What do you want?"
"The Left Protector invites you."
"Wait!"
Finishing, Ginsengfruit slamd the door shut.
Turning towards Yun Ran, the expression on Ginsengfruit’s face changed imdiately.
His eyes showed evident displeasure: "Host, they are really making a move today!"
Yun Ran gently poked Ginsengfruit’s head: "Do you plan on being fed by them here forever?
Things must be resolved sooner or later; isn’t it better if it’s done early? Although this place looks good, I still prefer living above ground.
The Ran Mansion is much better to live in than this Underground Palace, only those who can’t see the light prefer living underground!"
Upon thinking about it, Ginsengfruit realized it’s true. The sooner they resolve this, the sooner they can return.
Though this place had a big pool and awaited feeding, without needing to do anything.
He still preferred the bustling days at Qingfeng Temple, a busy day is better.
After Yun Ran and Ginsengfruit finished talking inside, the Black Robed person outside did not rush them but just waited.
It seed he was not there to "escort" Yun Ran but simply to invite her as a guest.
After Yun Ran changed into the new clothes prepared by the Black Robed person: "Go open the door."
Ginsengfruit imdiately went trotting to open the door, but the instant the door opened, his expression instantly turned sour.
"Lead the way!"
When Yun Ran stepped out, she saw that outside her little side hall, quite a number of people stood.
Judging by eye, at least over a dozen people.
Tsk tsk tsk, seems like her previous tricks made these Black Robed People wary, there are so many just to guide the way.
"No need to blindfold ?"
Seeing the person in front turn around to lead the way, Yun Ran imdiately asked.
The leading Black Robed person turned his head to glance at Yun Ran, though his expression was unseen.
Yet Yun Ran still captured the speechlessness flashing through his eyes.
"No need, please, Master Yun."
What the Black Robed person didn’t say was, anyone who entered here could not expect to leave intact.
Moreover, after tonight, the renowned Master Yun would join the pile of bones in the Underground Palace, so whether she saw it or not made no difference.
Since they didn’t mind her seeing, Yun Ran raised her brow and followed.
This Underground Palace was much larger than Yun Ran had imagined, and the treasures within amazed her.
If Doctor Yu were here, he’d likely declare no regrets for life.
He might not even leave, choosing to study here until death.
As she looked around, Yun Ran’s expression changed when she realized this wasn’t built for the living but seed to match the noble tomb pattern Doctor Yu once described.
Yun Ran imdiately criticized internally: "Could it really be an ancient noble’s tomb excavated and taken as soone’s domain?"
Thinking of this possibility, Yun Ran felt a chill.
Along the way, aside from seeing few mute-like Black Robed people passing by, she saw no others.
This made it hard for Yun Ran to deduce the real situation here.
"We’re here, Master Yun, please enter."
Yun Ran arrived at a colossal Mystic Iron Gate, estimated to be at least three stories high and could squash her like a pancake if dropped.
Beast patterns unknown to Yun Ran were etched into the Mystic Iron Gate.
As the Mystic Iron Gate opened automatically, it emitted a deep, resonant sound, revealing a pitch-black entrance.
