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

Chapter 313, is it related to Zhou Bapi's family?

"Young people these days are not down-to-earth at all. They just take other people's things and mess around with them, creating some kind of monstrosity, and then call it innovation!"

"If you ask me, you guys were too lenient with her before."

"That's it."

……

Yunran felt much better after taking the blood-nourishing and qi-tonifying pills, and she followed them over. 'Coincidentally,' she overheard these grown men, whose average age was over 40, babbling on and on.

"Why does my tone sound so sour?"

Everyone felt a chill run down their spines.

Damn it, who walks without making a sound? Don't you know that scaring someone can be deadly?
Especially with Xie Xuzhi standing next to Yun Ran, everyone felt like they couldn't breathe properly.

Xie Xuzhi wasn't a good talker either; he said, "Instead of wasting time criticizing others, you should focus on improving your own skills."

Yunran silently gave Xie Xuzhi a thumbs up.

She now understands why some people in the Special Administration Bureau hate him so much; his mouth definitely deserves a lot of credit.

Old Master Gong felt very embarrassed, especially in front of a nobody like Yun Ran.

But he couldn't refute the fact that a group of men were cricketing a little girl.

He could only sullenly say to the men he had brought, "Why do you men talk so much nonsense? Hurry up and see how to catch the Tomb Guardian Beast!"

Through the light barrier, the group did not actually feel the power of these tomb-guarding beasts and thought that the mission was not that difficult.

Duan Shouyuan wanted to say several times that the Zhenling Beast was actually very dangerous, but he thought that with Elder Gong present, if he described the danger in too much detail, the other party might say that he was making a mountain out of a molehill.

In the end, he said nothing and led the way with the other three, guiding them into the trap.

It took the group seven or eight minutes to finally enter the formation completely.

As soon as they entered, the second wave of attacks from the Tomb Guardian Beast arrived. Not only were there all sorts of rubble on the ground, but the sound almost pierced their eardrums.

One of them was particularly unlucky; he was standing directly in the direction the sound was coming from, so he received a greater attack than the others.

Even though he was holding a magical artifact, he was still injured due to carelessness, and blood started flowing from his mouth, ears, and nose.

Elder Gong had not expected that the power of the Mausoleum Guardian Beast would increase more than tenfold within the array's light barrier.

Upon realizing something was wrong, he immediately threw out a shield he was holding.

The others reacted quickly, unleashing their magical artifacts, which immediately neutralized most of the attack from the Tomb-Suppressing Beast.

Yunran stood outside with Xie Xuzhi. Upon seeing the situation inside, Yunran immediately tried to exonerate herself.

"This has nothing to do with me! I went to great lengths to contain them within the formation, and I'm almost dead!"

Xie Xuzhi carried many high-level protective magic artifacts, but that did not change the fact that he was inherently fragile.

Even though he came to oversee things in person, he never considered going in to capture the tomb-suppressing beast himself.

Seeing Yun Ran's furious attempt to distance herself from the situation, I just couldn't bear to watch.

"The people from the Special Administration Bureau are not to be trifled with, so you can watch with confidence."

Yun Ran muttered under her breath, "You people are the hardest to read. Who knows if you'll label me and suspect me of having malicious intentions over something so trivial!"

"What are you babbling about!" "Saying you are wise and capable, a master strategist."

Xie Xuzhi knew Yun Ran was lying, but he didn't care and looked back into the light barrier.

A few seconds later, he instructed the men who had come with him earlier: "You guys go in and take a look too. This is a rare opportunity."

Yunran: ...

Good heavens, she thought Xie Xuzhi was also after the Tomb Guardian Beast, wanting a piece of the pie, but it turns out he has a much broader vision than her.

They are seizing this excellent opportunity to hone their skills. The abilities of those in the Xuanmen sect are not something that can be acquired simply by reading books and casually practicing.

Back then, Qingfeng Temple had so many outstanding disciples, yet they still had to go out for training every year, and many of them even died outside.

The person whom Xie Xuzhi valued highly replied calmly and patiently upon hearing Xie Xuzhi's words: "Yes."

They went inside, while Yunran remained standing outside, and Renshenguo continued peeling walnuts.

However, with the sound from inside the light shield providing a backdrop, the clicking sound became negligible.

The person specifically protecting Xie Xuzhi stood quietly a few meters away, and Wan Ji also stood there obediently.

Xie Xuzhi looked at the ginseng fruit, which was barely up to his waist, and buried himself in peeling walnuts. In the end, he couldn't help but ask, "Where did you kidnap this child from?"

“I found him. I was planning to take him as my disciple. I heard that one of the rewards I received for what happened in the Northwest was the opportunity to establish my own sect. This kid is very talented and has the makings of a chief disciple.”

After saying that, Yun Ran reached out and ruffled the ginseng fruit's head: "Disciple, come here and say hello to Director Xie. From now on, we'll be eating at Director Xie's beck and call."

Xie Xuzhi: ...

Haha, if he hadn't known Yun Ran for quite some time, he would have actually believed Yun Ran's nonsense.

But Xie Xuzhi didn't expose Yun Ran in the end, and just said indifferently, "It's good enough that you don't give people a hard time."

Yun Ran is the kind of person who takes advantage of opportunities. Now that the identity of the ginseng fruit has been made public, she naturally wants to ask Xie Xuzhi for a favor.

"Well, my apprentice is an unregistered resident. I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you with getting him an identity. Deduct the cost from my bonus."

Xie Xuzhi is usually very stable, but when he heard Yun Ran say such shameless things, he almost laughed out of anger.

For a member of the prestigious Xie family to open a back door for his subordinates and then deduct their pay—if word got out, all the prominent families in the capital would laugh themselves to death.

Yunran spoke with such conviction that it made her seem exceptionally honest and not greedy for small gains.

This was the first time he had ever seen someone with such a unique art style.

"You must have been in the same family as Zhou Bapi in your past life."

"How did you know? I was really miserable in my past life. I never had any money for more than three days before I was penniless."

There's no way around it; making a living is tough, and magical artifacts and rare treasures are even more expensive. Plus, there's a bunch of spendthrift fellow disciples. It's a terrible situation."

Xie Xuzhi thought Yunran was just complaining about being poor again.

Little did they know that sometimes, the truth is revealed when it is difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood.

"Alright, alright, stop complaining about being broke. I'll give you a special allowance for the event later, so you can buy whatever you want!"

As a member of the Xie family, he simply couldn't stand people complaining about being poor in his ear.
