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

Chapter 207 There was a day when I was incredibly ignorant.

Gu Yuan was immediately stumped by Yun Ran's words. He really felt guilty. From childhood to adulthood, he had done countless ridiculous things.

Even now, he still occasionally tricks people from the Gu family, and of course, he hasn't let go of certain people in the Special Administration Bureau either.

The reason he was so badly injured by that extreme righteousness was because he had too many treacherous thoughts in his mind.

"Wait a minute, why isn't this power working on you? You're just as petty as I am!"

Gu Yuan simply didn't believe that there were truly people in this world with pure hearts and absolutely no other thoughts.

Yun Ran revealed a scar on her arm that looked like a birthmark: "See this? It's from being struck by lightning, a mark that even the golden light of merit can't repair."

I withstood heavenly lightning, and I'm protected by the golden light of merit; this force can't harm me unless it's thousands or tens of thousands of times more concentrated, then I might just die.

Gu Yuan, who was still feeling a bit resentful, saw the scar on Yun Ran's hand and wanted to slap himself: Damn it, I deserve to be hurt by this force, you petty person!
"So what do we do now? Just slink back like this?"

The thought of facing his boss's cold face and his fixed gaze sent chills down Gu Yuan's spine.

"Of course not! You may be shameless, but I am!"

If she didn't know the Tan family, she wouldn't be so embarrassed. But the Tan family clearly knew her background, and she couldn't afford to lose face.

"Now it's my turn to lead the charge, and you follow behind me!"

Gu Yuan nodded without hesitation, without uttering a single word of refusal or claiming that he was more experienced.

Yunran: ...

Yunran first sent out a small paper doll to test the waters and see if it could clear a path for her.

After a long while, the little paper figure retreated with difficulty, and even had some small, barely visible cracks on its body.

"No way, even your little paper doll can't get past this!"

Gu Yuan knew the little paper doll's abilities all too well; it was a master at scouting and relaying information.

Yunran carefully examined the paper doll's injuries, and her expression was not good.

"The paper dolls are something I created to help myself when I'm being lazy. Their existence was never intended for anything truly righteous, so they can also be attacked."

Gu Yuan was stunned: "Does what you mean mean that anyone or anything with selfish motives, or even magic, will be attacked indiscriminately!"

Yunran nodded.

"But don't the other people in this manor have any selfish motives? What about them? Aren't they attacked?"

Yun Ran glared at Gu Yuan: "I'm not a god. If I knew everything, even the trajectory of this power, would I need to be here testing it?"

They could only report back to their own side of the situation, as other prominent figures from the Xuanmen sects who had come along might also know about it.

The two people crouching in the greenhouse were completely unaware that they were hiding from the outside world.

While waiting for a reply, Gu Yuan casually plucked several flowers and tore off the petals. Yun Ran was also busy, taking out her phone to take various photos of herself and the flowers.

After an unknown amount of time, Gu Yuan's phone rang, and a reply came from the other end.

Yun Ran immediately put down her phone and came over. She saw that the message came from the Special Administration Bureau's internal dedicated mobile phone system. Yun Ran thought to herself, "This is the difference between a temporary worker and a permanent employee. (ˉ▽￣～) Tch~~."

However, upon seeing the message, Yun Ran fell silent, a rare occurrence. She never expected that as a highly accomplished disciple of Qingfeng Temple, she would be so ignorant.

Gu Yuan felt a sense of disorientation, wondering 'Where am I? What am I doing?'

"Borrowing national fortune to seek immortality? Does such a method really exist?"

Hearing Gu Yuan's question, Yun Ran did not answer. She only knew that those evil cultivators would devise many forbidden techniques to seek immortality or steal fortune.

However, she never knew that someone could use such seemingly orthodox esoteric methods to seize fortune and seek immortality.

Even if such methods don't seem to be forbidden techniques of evil cultivators, people in the Xuanmen sect would never allow such methods to exist. If this door is opened, wouldn't the world descend into chaos?

Xuan Masters all have families and countries. If the national fortune is stolen, that country will suffer from natural disasters and man-made calamities until it is destroyed. No one wants to live a life of wandering and displacement.

"The seniors told us to retreat; this is something that we two juniors can't possibly figure out."

After Gu Yuan finished speaking, Yun Ran did not move. It seemed as if something was pulling her to investigate, a feeling she rarely had.

Yun Ran looked at Gu Yuan and said softly, "Why don't you go back first? I want to look around here a bit more."

Gu Yuan stared wide-eyed at Yun Ran, his eyes clearly showing disbelief.

"What nonsense are you talking about? How dangerous is it here? How could I leave you here alone? We've been through thick and thin together, so of course we should share the hardships together."

Yunran ignored Gu Yuan, packed her things, and turned to leave the flower room.

She didn't have any talismans on her body, and she just walked forward step by step, clearly testing the waters herself.

Gu Yuan followed at a distance without revealing himself, and soon arrived at the place where he had been injured.

Just then, that invisible force rushed towards Yunran.

Fortunately, this force did not suppress Yun Ran; instead, it brushed against her body like a spring breeze.

Yun Ran reached out and touched the power that was impossible to touch, her eyes filled with indescribable emotion.

Is this the ultimate force of justice? Gentle and mild, without a trace of violence.

Gu Yuan watched this scene from afar, his heart pounding in his chest. He was genuinely afraid that Yun Ran would also be suppressed by that force and unable to move.

With his abilities, he has no way to rescue Yunran.

Just then, the person who had appeared like an immortal appeared. No one saw how he appeared, but he just appeared out of thin air in front of Yun Ran.

The 'immortal' looked at Yun Ran with a hint of curiosity in his eyes: "Are you the one who broke in just now? But why are you back now?"

Yunran didn't sense any unique power from this person, but her sixth sense told her that she was no match for him.

Meeting the man's gaze, Yun Ran said frankly, "I am the same person from before. I came back because I really want to know what kind of formation this is."

The immortal smiled and looked at Yunran: "Are you really curious? Then come with me to take a look."

Yunran gladly accepted the invitation.
