Gu Yuan, who had always followed Xie Xuzhi’s ’democratic’ approach, almost spat out a mouthful of old blood when he saw Yun Ran directly start by threatening them.
Could the boss really have entrusted such an important matter to a young girl who seed rather unreliable? Really?
"Presumptuous, you little girl, think you know where you are; is this so shoddy theater troupe?"
A middle-aged man with so air of authority slamd down on the table hard, clearly in response to Yun Ran’s actions of slamming the table and threatening everyone just now.
Yun Ran didn’t recognize this man as she had not seen him before, but judging by his attitude, he was probably the person Xie Xuzhi needed her to ss with.
"I don’t know if this is a shoddy theater troupe, but you surely understand the principle that the capable ones should hold power."
Perhaps, these words really hit a nerve.
Xiahou Jing’s gaze was fierce, wishing he could skewer this ill-mannered little girl with his glare alone.
He took out his Magic Artifact and aid it straight at Yun Ran’s Little Paperman, clearly intending to teach the overly presumptuous Yun Ran a lesson.
"Holy shit, where is your sense of martial decency; how can you resort to violence just because you disagree!"
Many people who had only been observing the situation until now changed their expressions when they saw Xiahou Jing take action imdiately.
Yun Ran was young and naive, and those who were her elders could scold or teach her a lesson.
But for Xiahou Jing to take action against a junior right in front of them was unbecoming; it didn’t look good for any of them either!
Several people spoke out to stop him at the sa ti: "Xiahou Jing, stop right now!"
Unfortunately, neither Xiahou Jing nor Yun Ran seed to appreciate their good intentions.
Yun Ran commanded the Little Paperman directly: "Go, show him what you’ve got. Don’t think big age ans you can do whatever you want!"
Soon Xiahou Jing’s Magic Artifact was surrounded by Yun Ran’s Little Papern, and after being hit by the electric flower on the Little Paperman, it trembled violently in mid-air.
Seeing that the situation was bad, Xiahou Jing tried to retrieve his Magic Artifact, only to find that he could no longer summon it back.
With a "clang" sound, the Magic Artifact lost its glow and fell to the ground, looking almost like a piece of scrap iron.
Xiahou Jing’s face turned pale, and a trace of blood leaked from the corner of his mouth; he looked quite miserable.
His eyes, sowhat fearful, turned towards the Little Papern floating in the eting room.
Although they had no expressions, Xiahou Jing felt their contempt.
As if saying: That’s all you’ve got? You dare to make a move!
Gu Yuan, watching Xiahou Jing’s Magic Artifact being ruined by Yun Ran, began to twitch uncontrollably.
He knew the girl had so guts, as she dared to swim from Dragon Heart Pond to Imperial Cauldron Club, but he hadn’t expected her to be this bold.
To destroy Xiahou Jing’s Magic Artifact in front of so many high-ranking officials from the Special Administration Bureau, this was stirring up a hornet’s nest!!!
Just thinking about the unreasonable old folks of the Xiahou Family, Gu Yuan felt pain all over his body.
"How dare you, to strike a mber of the Xiahou Family, do you have a death wish!"
Those who had previously opposed Yun Ran joining the special inspection team now seed to have found so leverage, one after another beginning to make it hard for Yun Ran.
Of course, among them, there were certainly those who intended to curry favor with the Xiahou Family.
Seeing the faces of these people, Yun Ran probably guessed as much.
This was the internal factional conflict within the Special Administration Bureau, wasn’t it? The Xiahou Family must be a Mystical Sect aristocratic family, holding a very important position.
Although Xie Xuzhi controlled the real power of the Special Administration Bureau, he was, after all, not one of the Xuann people and needed to rely on these people.
Plus, with his ill health and over ti, certain aristocratic families of Xuan Sect began to grow arrogant and even started to think about establishing their own dominion.
And this was a situation the superiors least liked to see, so having her, a chess piece of considerable strength, Xie Xuzhi was really not sparing her at all.
Knowing what her role was, Yun Ran felt even more that her cooperation with Xie Xuzhi was a raw deal.
"Heh, can’t compete in ability, now resorting to bullying by numbers, is it?"
With that said, Yun Ran took out her peculiar Peach Wood Sword, ready for a magical duel, she had never been afraid!
Gu Yuan couldn’t just stand by and watch Yun Ran wreck the place, he quickly ca forward and said: "Wait, if you are going to duel, find another place, don’t ruin this here.
This place is twenty floors underground, if it’s destroyed, we’ll all be buried alive."
Everyone: ...
I an, isn’t your focus a bit off? Shouldn’t you be persuading us that we’re all on the sa side and not to fight?
Xiahou Jing lost face and wanted to regain it, but then Gu Yuan spoke, and he didn’t dare to confront him directly.
Everyone knew that Gu Yuan was Xie Xuzhi’s confidant, most of the ti, his words were almost equivalent to Xie Xuzhi’s intentions.
The Xiahou Family indeed had ulterior motives and had also latched onto other backings.
But as long as Xie Xuzhi hadn’t fallen, they couldn’t be too obvious in their actions.
Seeing that Xiahou Jing was about to back down, Yun Ran stuck to the script of a trouble-maker, she might feel aggrieved, but still held up her end of the bargain.
She had to stir up the waters thoroughly for Xie Xuzhi to see, and said sarcastically, "Trash will always be trash – can’t even beat my Little Paperman and still want to duel with , dream on.
If people like you can be in the special task force, why can’t I be? Oh, don’t tell you know you’re incompetent and afraid to be humiliated by !"
Gu Yuan: ...
Even though he wasn’t the person concerned, to be honest, he was a bit tempted to curse listening to Yun Ran; her words were truly infuriating!
Xiahou Jing actually felt rather cornered at that mont; if he continued to oppose strongly, those unaware might really be swayed by Yun Ran’s words and think he was afraid of her.
Plus, everything that happened today would be reported in detail to Xie Xuzhi by Gu Yuan.
Then, Xie Xuzhi would certainly use this as leverage to cause trouble for the Xiahou Family.
Taking a deep breath, Xiahou Jing had to suppress his discomfort, reminding himself over and over not to lose the plot over sothing small.
"Fine, I agree, I really want to see if you truly have the abilities you claim to have!"
With Xiahou Jing agreeing, the others naturally didn’t want the reputation of being inferior to a junior, and being seen as suppressing a junior, so they had to suck it up and admit it.
Gu Yuan began to tally the votes of agreent; um, unanimous passage.
"The result of this ti is produced based on the principles of being fair, just, and open; the proposal passes!"
Yun Ran: ...
So this is what Xie Xuzhi calls democracy, huh.
