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

Chapter 1281 These blessings are all things he deserves to enjoy.

Yun Ran left suddenly, and by the time the others reacted, they had already disappeared without a trace.

Those who had originally planned to ambush Yunran were so angry that they smashed their teacups.

"This is outrageous! Absolutely outrageous!!!"

They thought they had calculated everything perfectly, even to the point of being audacious enough to believe that everyone was at their mercy, when they were slapped hard across the face.

"Find out who the people upstairs are. Also, send someone to fetch the manager of Divine Sword Manor. Tell them we have a deal to discuss with them!"

The person who spoke, though annoyed, quickly calmed down and began to consider how to mitigate some of the losses in this unfavorable situation.

Now, they are clearly eyeing the remnant soul of the ancient ferocious beast that the Divine Sword Manor obtained earlier.

In the backyard of the small building, thanks to the contract array plate left by Yun Ran and the cooperation of the nine-headed ferocious beast, the contract ceremony went very smoothly.

The contract was completed in just over ten minutes, and it was a perfect match.

The nine-headed beast, which originally occupied most of the courtyard, suddenly shrank to the size of an adult horse.

However, with the nine heads of the nine-headed beast, it didn't reduce the oppressive feeling at all; on the contrary, it looked even more ferocious.

The nine-headed beast was also a bully who preyed on the weak. When it came to Yun Ran, it was wary of her and therefore became exceptionally easy to talk to.

But when facing the people from Shenjian Manor who needed his help, he was arrogant, a change of attitude that could be described as a complete change of heart.

"From now on, unless it is a matter of life and death, do not disturb me. I prefer peace and quiet!"

If the Nine-Headed Beast dared to show such an infuriating face in front of Yun Ran, its head would probably be twisted off. However, the people of Divine Sword Manor regarded the Nine-Headed Beast's words as gospel.

"Yes, yes, Lord Beast, please rest assured, I will make arrangements to ensure that no one disturbs your peace and quiet. I will also set up a special hilltop for you to rest, and I will provide you with the best of everything."

Seeing the attitude of the people from Divine Sword Manor, the Nine-Headed Beast could only say that the gap between people was simply too great.

It turns out that after leaving that cruel woman Yunran, life outside was all sunshine and bright.

The nine-headed beast couldn't help but feel grateful to itself for not strongly opposing it before; these blessings were something it deserved to enjoy.

In order to make the people of Shenjian Manor more devoted to serving him, the Nine-Headed Beast felt it was necessary to give them a little treat.

Suddenly, he raised his claws and made a grabbing motion in the air. It was unclear what he grabbed, but he shoved it all at the young master Xue, with whom he had signed a contract.

"Since you are quite devout, this is a gift from me."

The nine-headed beast learned a trick from Yun Ran during his time with her: give her a slap, then a treat. After all, that's how Yun Ran treated him.

"Call upon me only after you have prepared the mountain for me."

After saying that, the nine-headed beast's originally solid body gradually turned into a wisp of green smoke and disappeared.

At least, to outsiders, it has disappeared.

But for Master Xue, who had signed the contract, the nine-headed beast had not disappeared, but had hidden itself away. He could sense that it was omnipresent.

This perception stirred a powerful emotion within Young Master Xue. He knew that he could summon that terrifying beast at any time, if he so desired. The nine-headed beast vanished, and the oppressive aura it had brought dissipated.

Those whose faces had turned pale from the oppressive aura of the nine-headed beast finally felt a sense of relief and let out a deep breath.

"Young Master..."

Young Master Xue raised his hand to stop his men from speaking: "Whatever you have to say, we can talk about it back home. Now, clean up all traces here. Everyone who saw this place in the backyard must keep it to themselves. Not even my father can say a word!"

Although the subordinates were somewhat puzzled, since the young master had said to keep quiet, then not a single word of what happened in the courtyard today would be leaked out.

"Yes!"

The group quickly cleaned up the traces in the backyard. As for the inside of the small building, they didn't need to do anything; the building would clean itself up automatically.

Not long after Young Master Xue and his party left, a man dressed as a servant of Shenjian Manor sneaked into the backyard of the small building.

No one else is allowed to enter; only people from the Divine Sword Manor are permitted to come in.

The man himself was a pawn planted by other forces. In the eyes of others, he had always been honest and law-abiding, and had never been exposed for decades.

Now that it has been activated, it's clear that they think the clues in the backyard are very important to those people.

Chi Yao did not leave with Yun Ran and the others. At this moment, he was still sitting on the second floor, holding a teacup in his hand, sitting casually.

Everything that happened in the backyard was right under his nose.

Seeing someone sneaking in, a mocking smile appeared on his lips.

Putting aside the fact that Yun Ran is the kind of person who plans ten steps ahead for every one step he takes, with him around, how could anyone possibly find even the slightest clue about Yun Ran?

Chi Yao tapped the teacup with his finger, and a clear drop of water separated from the medicinal essence.

Then, with a flick of his finger, the seemingly harmless drop of water flew out like a cannonball and pierced the temple of the man who had barged in.

The man collapsed with a thud, but Chi Yao didn't even bother to look at him. He put down the cup in his hand and vanished in an instant.

With Chi Yao's departure, the layout of the small building was rapidly changing. The chairs that Yun Ran and Long Ling had moved were returned to their original positions.

Even the scraps of cloth that the dragon spirit left behind when it tore open the passage and returned were instantly reduced to dust and disappeared by the original formation on the second floor.

The second floor was restored to its original state, as if no one had ever set foot there. Even the spirit of the small building, who had been stunned by the oppressive force and had not yet woken up, was instantly transferred to the first floor.

Young Master Xue had originally planned to hurry back and discuss with his father and the elders the possibility of closing the door to visitors after the auction.

To everyone's surprise, they were stopped before they even left the auction hall.

"Young Master Xue, our master invites you."

Upon seeing the newcomer, Master Xue remained outwardly calm, but his eyes gradually turned cold. This person in front of him was not inviting him; it was clear that he had no choice but to go.

If this weren't the territory of his Divine Sword Manor, the other party probably wouldn't have even uttered a single word of invitation.
