Chapter 275 Young is better

After Mo Zhi disappeared, the temperature in the ward immediately returned to normal, and Abbot Jiechen visibly breathed a sigh of relief.

When this ghost general was in his hands, she was a real hot potato. He was afraid she would suddenly go berserk, and he was also afraid of being discovered by the censors.

After putting away the jade magic artifact, Yun Ran continued, "Then you rest, I'll go and wander around other places."

Watching Yunran's departing figure, Abbot Jiechen couldn't help but mutter, "It's good to be young. Her recovery is so fast. She can be bouncing around again in the blink of an eye."

Fortunately, Gu Yuan didn't hear these words, otherwise he would have been really upset.

If he hadn't been feeding Yunran bowl after bowl of good food like it was free, would she have recovered so quickly?

Immediately afterwards, Yunran went to see Qingmu Daoren. When she saw that his whole body was wrapped in bandages, Yunran laughed rather unkindly.

Taoist Aoki: ...

"Is it that funny?"

Yun Ran quickly shook her head: "No, I was also seriously injured before, wrapped up like a mummy. Seeing the same situation now just makes me feel a little familiar."

Qingmu Daoren did not doubt what Yunran said, but his eyes showed a hint of helplessness.

"You're so straightforward, it's best not to show it off so easily in the future, or I'm afraid you'll get beaten up."

"No one else can beat me."

Aoki, who wanted to say something more, looked at Yunran's somewhat garish hair and ultimately swallowed his words.

Oh well, even if this girl causes a huge mess, she can clean it up herself and won't bother anyone else.

"The people in the investigation department are trying to find you, but they've all been turned away by Director Gu's people. Now that you can get out of bed, don't wander around, or you'll get caught red-handed."

Despite his usual air of otherworldly wisdom and carefree demeanor, Daoist Qingmu is actually very popular and well-informed.

Even though he was lying in a hospital bed, he was very clear about what was happening outside and the power struggles among the higher-ups.

However, he used to pretend to be stupid and didn't want to get involved in these things, but now it's different. He doesn't want Yunran to get involved in those struggles.

Yunran is also someone who hates trouble. Gu Yuan mentioned it once before, and now Qingmu Daoren has mentioned it again, so of course she has to take it to heart.

"Don't worry, I'm not that stupid. Besides, I'm just a temporary worker, so there's no point in contacting me."

Seeing that Yun Ran was losing patience and clearly wanted to leave, Daoist Qingmu pulled out a small wooden plaque from somewhere, which didn't look very valuable.

"This is a token of my sect. If they see it when you travel in the future, they will make things easier for you."

First, a high-ranking monk gave her spiritual liquid, and now Taoist Qingmu is giving her a token. For the first time, Yunran felt like she was taking advantage of someone else.

But seeing the sincerity in Qingmu Daoren's eyes, she couldn't bring herself to say no.

Some people are ungrateful, but others repay kindness with boundless gratitude.

The Taoist Qingmu in front of her was clearly the latter; if she refused, he would probably be sad.

Yunran immediately reached out and took the small wooden plaque. Once in her hand, she realized that it was not a small wooden plaque at all, but was made of black iron.

Yun Ran's eyes lit up immediately, and this scene was witnessed by Daoist Qingmu.

At that moment, he suddenly remembered someone's previous comments about Yun Ran: "She has a sharp eye and is obsessed with money."

Master Qingmu smiled immediately, finding Yun Ran increasingly to his liking. A genuine person was far better than a hypocrite. Thinking of something, he spoke again: "People from headquarters will be coming. If you're alright, it's best to leave here in the next couple of days. If they can't find you, no trouble will bother them."

Gu Yuan hadn't told her any of this before, only telling her to focus on recovering.

For Qingmu Daoren to say such a thing, it seems that standing out is not a good thing, as people always have their eyes on her things!

"Okay, I got it. Perfect timing, I can wander around the Northwest."

Yun Ran didn't go to see anyone else, but returned to her ward. She hadn't expected that the people of the Xuanmen sect in this book world would be so short-sighted.

It was just a purification spell, yet it managed to trigger a power struggle among the higher-ups at headquarters.

After changing out of her hospital gown, Yun Ran opened the window of her ward and looked around. There were indeed quite a few people downstairs, pretending to be passersby, walking back and forth.

Gu Yuan just pushed the door open and came in. Seeing Yun Ran sneaking around on the window, he walked over out of curiosity.

"What are you looking at?"

Yun Ran immediately withdrew her gaze and looked at Gu Yuan with a complicated expression: "You must have had a hard time these past few days."

Although Yunran didn't say it very directly, Gu Yuan understood what she meant.

His gaze only glanced at the people downstairs before returning to his own.

His tone was calm: "If I couldn't even handle something this simple, I would have been devoured long ago, leaving not even a bone fragment."

Don't worry, as long as I'm here, none of them will be able to set foot in here. By the way, why are you in a hospital gown? Are you planning to run away by yourself?

Yun Ran wasn't embarrassed at all that her plans had been seen through, and simply nodded.

She thought Gu Yuan would resolutely oppose her leaving in order to prove that he was capable of protecting her.

Gu Yuan thought for a few seconds before saying, "That's fine too. You're young, so it's best to avoid contact with people who are full of ulterior motives."

Yun Ran hadn't reacted yet, but the ginseng fruit almost burst out laughing: [Hahaha, this is hilarious! Someone actually thinks you're such a good girl, host...]

Hearing the ginseng fruit's laughter, Yun Ran's tone suddenly became somewhat dangerous: "So you mean, I'm a bad thing?"

The ginseng fruit's laughter abruptly stopped, and then it pretended to be dead, as if it had never existed.

Gu Yuan, unaware that Yun Ran was arguing with the ginseng fruit, continued, "When are you planning to leave? I'll see you out."

"Leave now."

"Okay, I'll make the arrangements. The car will leave directly from the basement later."

Just as Gu Yuan was about to turn and leave, he suddenly stopped.

"By the way, when you were unconscious, an old herdsman insisted on giving you a big, fat sheep. You couldn't refuse, so I had no choice but to buy it. I'll have someone slaughter and freeze the sheep for you."

Now it was Yunran's turn to be confused: "Huh?"

Weren't we just talking about serious matters? How did we suddenly turn to such trivial things?
However, this also indirectly confirmed for Yunran that the follow-up events of this mission would be somewhat troublesome.

But for Gu Yuan, it was indeed not a big deal; otherwise, he wouldn't have had such free time.
