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

Chapter 308 The Human Heart is the Most Terrifying Thing (2 Updates)
There was nothing more for her to do here, and it was still very dusty, so she had to go back.

"If there's nothing else, I'll head back now."

As soon as Yunran said she was leaving, Wanji, who had been standing by as a background figure, quickly stepped forward and deftly put away the fortune-telling items that Yunran had used earlier.

Renshenguo glanced at him sideways, then put her hands in her pockets, showing no sign of dissatisfaction at having her job taken away.

Dr. Yu watched Yun Ran and her group leave, a hint of satisfaction clearly in his eyes.

A student following behind him suddenly spoke up: "Teacher, Ranran is the disciple you've been waiting for, isn't she?"

Dr. Yu maintained his previous posture and did not deny the students' questions.

His students were all intelligent, which was the most basic requirement, and he liked them all very much.

However, these students all had fatal weaknesses, more or less, and were unable to inherit all of his connections and resources.

Even though he had only known Yun Ran for a very short time, he felt that Yun Ran perfectly met the requirements to take over all his resources.

The student wasn't fixated on getting an answer and continued, "If it's Ranran, I think everyone would be convinced, and she has the ability to protect those precious artifacts."

Yun Ran is intelligent, capable, kind-hearted, and also has a sharp edge. If given the opportunity to grow, she will definitely become an invincible leader.

"We'll talk about this later!"

The students nodded immediately, understanding why the teacher was so cautious. The item the teacher had wasn't particularly amazing, but many people wanted it.

If someone with ulterior motives were to find out that the teacher had already chosen his last disciple to inherit all his resources, who knows what those people would do?

Yun Ran is powerful, but she is still just a young girl who hasn't come of age yet. This world is full of conspiracies and schemes, and the human heart is the most terrifying thing.

They have also witnessed too many geniuses who, before they could even mature, were destroyed by those who used dirty methods.

When Yunran returned to her place, she went to wash up. She was covered in dust and felt really uncomfortable.

I just came back from washing up, and the little paper dolls I sent out earlier have returned.

The little paper figure's simple facial features were all wrinkled up, making it look like it was about to cry.

From the moment they were born and gained intelligence, they have never failed to perform well when Yunran sends them out to "do work".

This time, it circled the hill several times but found nothing. Yet it clearly sensed that something was wrong with the place.

The little paper doll was extremely aggrieved: "Master, there must be something wrong over there, but I'm too stupid, I didn't find anything, waaaaah~~~"

Yunran: ...

She never cries.

Renshenguo, standing nearby, was drying Yunran's hair with a towel, unable to resist trying to make amends for her little brother.

"Host, you personally crafted my little brothers, and they're quite capable. There's definitely a big problem with that place!"

Everyone says that you love the child you raise. Seeing the little paper doll's aggrieved look, Yun Ran reached out and patted its head to comfort it.

The little paper doll's aggrieved expression immediately disappeared, and Yunran then put the little paper doll away.

"I'd like to see what this strange thing is."

Yunran's hair was completely dry, and she casually tied it up before heading out.

Wan Ji quickly followed suit; at this moment, no one could stop him from becoming the strongest follower. Duan Shouyuan and the others had been keeping a close eye on Yun Ran's movements, knowing that Yun Ran had headed south of the project camp.

The others quickly followed.

"Minister, we checked that area before. Did Yunran discover anything when she went that way?"

Before today, if someone had told them that they would overturn their previous judgment because of a young girl, they would have thought that person was crazy.

But now, they are truly slapping themselves in the face.

"Yun Ran is not to be underestimated. There must be something wrong with the fact that she went there in person!"

Logically, at least two of the four of them should have left behind to guard the area and prevent any surprise attacks.

Previously, Dr. Yu and his group were ambushed by evil energy.

But now, they feel a little ashamed to stay here.

Compared to the two little paper figures left behind by Yunran, they inexplicably felt inferior and relegated to a second-best position, and it would have been better not to leave them at all.

"I wonder how Yunran made those little paper figures. They can even talk. Could it be that Yunran poached those sentient beings and turned them into puppets?"

Even now, the person who spoke is still reluctant to believe that Yunran's paper doll was created by the righteous path.

Duan Shouyuan looked at the person who spoke, his tone carrying an unprecedented solemnity.

"From now on, don't make things up without evidence. That little paper figure didn't have any evil magic aura; on the contrary, it carried the aura of heavenly lightning."

The others exchanged glances after hearing Duan Shouyuan's words, clearly realizing that Minister Duan seemed to be leaning towards Yun Ran.

Ginseng Fruit may look small, but it moves very fast. It can keep up with Yun Ran's pace and never falls behind.

"Master, those annoying people from the General Administration have been following us around. Should we go and get rid of them?"

"No need. I don't know much about the situation over there. It would be good to have a few more helpers. At least they are much better than those who only know how to fight."

Wanji: ...

Um, a henchman who only knows fists and kicks, is that a dig at me?
But he dared not speak, fearing that Yun Ran would simply nod and say yes, and then how could he shamelessly follow her?
He had never realized before that he was such an adventurous person with such a strong thirst for knowledge.

He felt that going with Yunran to see that problematic place would be the only highlight of his life, and he would regret it for the rest of his life if he missed it.

Half an hour later, Yunran arrived at the location.

She took out her peach wood sword and her compass, which was already patinaed with age.

The compass needle, which had been working fine, began to spin wildly when Yunran's peach wood sword was plunged into the ground.

It's as if he's gone mad.

Duan Shouyuan and the others followed. They knew that Yun Ran had discovered them long ago, but since Yun Ran hadn't chased them away, they assumed that they were now on Yun Ran's side.

Seeing Yun Ran stick a strange peach wood sword into the ground, a chilling feeling swept over them.

They disregarded their pride and approached Yunran directly.

"What did you do? Why did the atmosphere here suddenly change? It's like something big is about to come out."
