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

Chapter 1217 Ancestor's Avatar (2nd Update)
Erdan froze for a moment as he ate his apple, tilting his head as if he couldn't believe what he had just heard.

"me?"

Is it really appropriate to entrust such an important matter to it?

Ginseng Fruit clearly understood Erdan's unfinished words and naturally instructed, "Otherwise what? Do you know what it means to not support idlers?"

Erdan: ...

It's never idle; not only does it serve as a mount, but it also attracts people's attention outside. Now, it even has to patrol.

Erdan really felt that his life was a bit miserable. He was just a cub, how could he endure so much suffering!

Erdan wanted to protest, but obviously, the protest was ineffective.

"Not negotiable!"

The little princess puppet was standing nearby, and all I could do was laugh. It turns out Erdan was such a lazy bum.

The next second, it heard the ginseng fruit giving it instructions: "Don't just sit around, look around. With your size, you can go anywhere."

Little Princess Puppet: ...

That sounds right, but why does it sound so jarring?

If these weren't important matters, the little princess puppet would really want to argue, and it wouldn't be willing to listen to the ginseng fruit!
Finally, Erdan could only reluctantly begin his stroll with heavy steps.

On the other side, Yunran, with the little paper doll, soon arrived at a deserted place. Although there were many mountains here, they were all made of hard stone.

There were only some messy weeds on it, not a single tree, and as far as the eye could see, there was hardly any sign of life.

The little paper figure flew into the sky and looked down. Within a radius of dozens of miles, there was only its master, a living person.

"Master, this place is absolutely safe!"

Yunran nodded, then took out a lot of talismans and asked the little paper figure to place them in suitable places according to her requirements.

Until the last talisman was placed, Yun Ran stood in the very center, and the talisman in her hand spontaneously combusted.

The next second, all the talismans placed elsewhere also spontaneously combusted at the same time.

In an instant, a white light shield enveloped the entire surrounding area.

Fortunately, there was no one around, and even if there was white light, it wouldn't be very noticeable in broad daylight.

The light shield quickly stabilized, and the white light gradually faded away.

The entire area was quickly restored to its original state.

Just then, a bird flew across the sky, its feathers swaying and landing on top of the light shield.

Yunran looked up and glanced in the direction of the feather.

Without any warning, the feather suddenly disappeared, as if it had never existed at all.

There was nothing unusual within the light barrier where Yunran was located.

Yun Ran withdrew her gaze; this scene might have been frightening to others.

But for Yunran, this was nothing more than an external object, one of the smallest costs to attacking the light shield: disappearing.

Ignoring the unexpected turn of events, Yun Ran lowered her head and took out all twelve bronze mirrors.

Yunran removed all the framed bronze mirrors, leaving only the mirrors themselves.

She already knew that the twelve bronze mirrors were a single piece, but seeing the edges of these mirrors with her own eyes, which really looked like a jigsaw puzzle, she was still quite surprised.

The bronze mirror that signed the contract with Yunran was used as an internal spy after being threatened by Yunran.

However, it truly hadn't expected that Yunran would actually be able to collect all these bronze mirrors so quickly. Moreover, it seemed that she intended to reassemble them.

The bronze mirror suddenly became unsettled: "You're not really going to piece us back together, are you? Would I still be me then?"

Who would want to be one-twelfth when they can be the only one?

“You signed a contract with me, so even if you are pieced together with other bronze mirrors, you will still be unique.”

The bronze mirror's surface immediately revealed an expression even uglier than crying; it refused to be promised a pie in the sky!
Unfortunately, its thoughts had no way of influencing Yunran.

Yunran did not directly assemble these bronze mirrors; she simply placed them all together.

Then, he sat cross-legged and began burning merit to summon Ancestor Qingyangzi and the others.

The burning golden light of merit carried a sacred aura, and the little paper figure saw wisps of smoke rising from its master.

A moment later, a phantom appeared, swaying and then slowly solidified.

It was none other than the patriarch Qingyangzi.

Yun Ran opened her eyes and saw that only Ancestor Qingyangzi had come, and it wasn't his true self, but an avatar.

Yun Ran was slightly surprised, but she managed to suppress that surprise well.

When the avatar of Ancestor Qingyangzi saw the twelve bronze mirrors placed beside Yunran, a hint of satisfaction flashed in his eyes.

As expected of the young master chosen by their Qingfeng Temple, his ability to handle affairs is indeed extraordinary.

"Greetings to the ancestor!"

Yunran kowtowed respectfully.

"Get up~"

Yunran stood up nimbly and then obediently stood to the side.

Anyone who looks at it would think that Yun Ran at this moment is exactly the kind of junior that the older generation likes the most.

The little paper figure stood obediently not far away, waiting for the instructions of Ancestor Qingyangzi.

"You found these bronze mirrors so quickly, that's good, much earlier than I expected."

Yun Ran's face immediately lit up with a smile after being praised.

Ancestor Qingyangzi continued, "Are you curious why only I came this time, and why it was an avatar?"

If Yun Ran can't even tell whether it's the real body or a clone that's coming, then she's truly useless.

Yunran thought she had disguised herself very well and was very well-behaved, but she didn't expect that she would be exposed so quickly?
Perhaps it was because Yun Ran's expression of confusion was so obvious that Ancestor Qingyangzi burst out laughing.

"Do you know what criteria were used to select the successive young masters of Qingfeng Temple?"

Although I don't know why Ancestor Qingyangzi would bring up such an unrelated topic at this time.

But Yunran nodded obediently: "You need to be smart, capable, and flexible..."

Every extra word Yunran uttered in front of the ancestor made her feel ashamed of praising herself.

If Yun Ran said these things in front of other people, she wouldn't feel this way at all; she would even feel quite proud.

"These are only part of the story. One of the most important factors in Qingfeng Temple's selection of its young master is..."

You must have the courage to break the mold and question all authority!
No matter how well you try to hide it, you can't conceal your eyes that are always watching everything.
