The fortune telling was so accurate that I accidentally accumulated a huge amount of merit!

Chapter 1165 Cutting the Trouble with a Quick Sword

People in a fit of rage are deaf to any advice or threats, but intimidating them with their most cherished interests is very effective.

Upon hearing that the invitations were to be confiscated, even the loudest shouters had to fall silent.

Although they weren't there to participate in the selection competition, their presence here broadened their horizons, serving as a hidden support from their respective factions.

If they not only fail to help at this time, but instead hinder them, they will face dire consequences.

Seeing that they immediately quieted down, the person in charge finally looked a little better.

He genuinely thought these people were just emotionally charged and wouldn't listen to anything he was told.

"Now, can anyone tell me what exactly happened that made you all forget the rules of Moonflower City and gather here?"

The person who went to see him earlier didn't have time to explain everything from beginning to end.

He only said that a big incident had occurred here, and if we didn't come quickly, something uncontrollable might happen.

They rushed over, only to find that the situation was more complicated than they had imagined.

Nowadays, asking questions is more of an attitude of trying to suppress the other party with one's own momentum.

Sure enough, after the previous intimidation and the current questioning, those who were almost out of control finally calmed down completely.

It was as if a bucket of ice water had been poured over their heads, making it impossible for them not to calm down.

One person from each side—those responsible for the investigation at the city gate and those who had previously followed Erdan—eagerly recounted the whole story.

Person in charge: ...

He really wanted to curse right now. Were these people all out of their minds? What did all this have to do with them?
Why make such a big deal out of such a trivial matter?
Or is it that their Moonflower City can't even afford to waste a few broken pieces of wood covered with iron sheets?

Before any of them have even made a move, some people have already jumped out!
After cursing under his breath, the person in charge finally looked at the ginseng fruit that had been revealed after the crowd dispersed.

As for those two eggs that were covered in sheet metal and turned into scrap, they were selectively ignored by the person in charge.

"who are you?"

The person in charge got straight to the point from the start, clearly unwilling to waste time and wanting to get to the bottom of things quickly.

After these people who could control the overall situation appeared, Ginseng Fruit slowly began to put away its whip.

Now is the perfect time.

"I am Yunran's companion who was separated from her before. I happened to be in this area and came here as soon as I received her message."

After saying that, Ginseng Fruit glanced at Erdan, who had walked up to him and seemed eager to get close to him.

He reached out and nudged the sticky Erdan before continuing, "I used to be in charge of raising this bird; it has a rather bad temper."

Those who have witnessed Erdan's ferocity would never have imagined that this bird could have such a sticky side.

So this young Taoist priest is the one who keeps this bird, no wonder...

An indescribable emotion spread through everyone's hearts.

Now they understood why the bird named Erdan had suddenly gone berserk and pierced through the wood.

So, it really was a blatant threat to them, since they had been rude to this seemingly unlucky young Taoist priest before.

After a moment of silence, the person in charge looked at the onlookers who had been stirring things up, clearly having run out of patience.

Where there are people, there is no peace. "Alright, this is none of your business anymore, everyone can leave!"

Some people are just there for the spectacle, and they're really enjoying it, so they don't want to leave.

Those who had been stirring things up from time to time were hiding among them, clearly having their own agendas.

The goal hasn't been achieved yet, and deep down, I don't want to leave.

Seeing the undisguised disapproval in the eyes of the person in charge, and the overt and covert attempts by the people who arrived afterward to drive them away, they had no choice but to leave.

Soon, the bustling scene at the city gate became deserted.

"Since you are Fellow Daoist Yun's companion, I will escort you there."

Last night, they received news that Yunran's companions were coming.

I just didn't expect it to come so quickly.

Ginseng Fruit could tell that the person in front of him clearly had many questions about him, but for various reasons, he did not speak.

He wasn't the kind of person to be obsequious, so naturally he wouldn't go out of his way to say anything.

And so, the ginseng fruit went to find Yun Ran, despite being escorted by these people who were in fact more like being forced to flee.

Erdan didn't realize at all that what had happened before was caused by it; it just kept trying to get close to Erdan.

Ren Shenguo slapped Erdan away again; he had never seen such a sticky guy before.

Erdan looked at the ginseng fruit with a somewhat aggrieved expression in his round eyes.

They seemed not to understand why the ginseng fruit didn't seem to care about it at all.
With an escort, they managed to avoid any further trouble along the way and soon arrived at Yunran's residence.

Yunran sat on a chair on the balcony and saw the ginseng fruit and Erdan from afar.

Seeing so many people around them, Yunran knew that Erdan had indeed gotten into trouble.

Fortunately, she managed to deflect blame in time. Whatever happened before had nothing to do with her, and compensation was none of her concern.

The person downstairs who was responsible for monitoring Yunran stopped hiding after Yunran discovered his hiding place.

Standing openly under the big tree, I noticed that some of the people who had originally followed Erdan were hanging their heads.

He instinctively felt something was wrong, and his heart skipped a beat.

The person in charge naturally recognized the man standing under the tree, and seeing him standing there so casually, he was startled.

This guy's ability to conceal himself is second to none...

But in the end, even though he guessed some of the information, he still didn't say anything.

"You guys take the person upstairs. As for the rest of you, when it's time to change shifts, go back and collect your punishments."

Erdan didn't want to go to the backyard residence; he wanted to go upstairs with Ginseng Fruit instead.

As a result, they were stopped.

Erdan was unhappy, so he raised his big wings and flapped them hard a few times in the direction of the person in charge.

Everyone:...

They genuinely felt that these grumpy birds were far more difficult to care for than those spirited horses.
