Chapter 409 Miss Yun has great courage!

After signing, Yun Ran noticed Wang Qianyu's bewildered yet surprised expression as he stared blankly at her.

He immediately burst out laughing: "What happened to you? Are you frozen in place?"

Wang Qianyu opened his mouth, but ultimately swallowed the question that was on the tip of his tongue.

Could it be that he felt complicated because others considered signing such a confidentiality agreement to be disrespectful and humiliating, yet Yun Ran signed it so readily?

Yun Ran didn't care what Wang Qianyu was thinking and handed the confidentiality agreement to the elite man wearing gold-rimmed glasses.

She then looked at him and said, "What other procedures need to be followed? Tell me all at once!"

Wang Qianyu: ...

Well, he was being petty. He had heard before that Yun Ran was exceptionally easy to talk to once she agreed to something.

Now it seems that this is not just being easy to talk to, it's being extremely easy to talk to, clearly separating public and private matters.

"That's all, this way please!"

The elite man with gold-rimmed glasses immediately stepped aside to make way for him.

As soon as she entered the garden, a strong sense of vitality hit her, and a hint of envy flashed in Yunran's eyes. This was a wonderful place.

She looked around and realized that beneath this garden lay the heart of a vibrant mountain range.

As expected of the Wang family, with their old residence situated in such a location, it's no wonder the family prospers.

However, they walked along the corridor for quite a distance without seeing any servants, making it exceptionally quiet.

This made Yunran realize even more that the people living here were definitely not ordinary.

Wang Qianyu noticed Yun Ran's question and, without Yun Ran needing to speak, began to explain.

"This garden is a place where only the heads or prospective heads of the Wang family can live. No one can enter unless they are trusted confidants of the Wang family."

Yun Ran nodded. Although she wasn't from one of those top-tier families, she was still a member of one of them.

However, she had also visited many large families with the elders of Qingfeng Temple and was familiar with some of their rules.

Finally reaching the central courtyard, Wang Qianyu stopped and said, "I can only take you this far. I'm not qualified to go to the rest of the way."

Yun Ran glanced quickly at Wang Qianyu. She was genuinely curious that even someone of Wang Qianyu's status could only walk in the front courtyard.

The identity of the person who needs her treatment is obvious.

If she hadn't calculated beforehand that there wouldn't be any major trouble, she would have turned around and left now.

Just then, an old man emerged from the courtyard. He was dressed in a long gown and clearly a well-educated servant.

When Wang Qianyu saw the old man, he visibly tensed up, and even showed a hint of fear.

The old man smiled at Wang Qianyu: "Thank you for your hard work, Ninth Young Master. Leave the rest to this old servant."

"Yes...yes...Elder Zhou, I'll go out now."

Seeing Wang Qianyu hurriedly turn and leave, Yunran became even more certain of her previous guess.

When only she and the seemingly kind-looking Old Man Zhou remained in the courtyard, Yun Ran looked straight at him.

Just from the way Elder Zhou walks and his aura, it's easy to tell that he is definitely a top-notch martial arts master.

Without resorting to the power of the Xuanmen, Yun Ran felt she wouldn't last ten moves against Elder Zhou. Although her current body wasn't as good as her original one, she had used many rare and precious herbs to temper it these past few days.

She has basically recovered to 70-80% of her original strength. With such skills, it can be said that 80-90% of the world's martial arts masters are no match for her.

To some extent, the old man in front of us has reached the point where he can achieve physical sainthood.

Yun Ran was looking at Elder Zhou, and Elder Zhou was also looking at Yun Ran. Very few people could withstand his gaze.

Many bigwigs who were invited before either refused to sign confidentiality agreements and left, or even if they did get in, they couldn't get past Elder Zhou.

"Miss Yun has great courage!"

"Old Zhou is no less impressive."

After the two had ended their completely invisible battle, they became polite to each other again.

"Miss Yun, this way please!"

Yun Ran nodded, and then followed Elder Zhou into the central courtyard.

I thought the previous 'levels' were over, but little did I know, this is just the beginning.

The central courtyard looks incredibly spacious, but without someone leading you in, you'd definitely get lost in its labyrinthine layout.

Old Zhou quickly led Yun Ran to a door. He stepped forward and gently pushed the door open, revealing countless hidden killing moves within it.

Old Master Zhou stopped at the outer door: "My master is inside. Miss Yun, if you need anything, you can call me anytime."

Yun Ran paused, glancing casually at Elder Zhou with a hint of surprise: "Aren't you coming in with me?"

Are these people really so comfortable leaving her to face her husband alone?

Was she too trusting of her, or was there a trap waiting for her?
"Although the young masters and ladies of the family all call me Master Zhou, I am just a servant of the Wang family and have no right to enter your room."

Yunran: ...

This damn reason... she felt more and more that something was fishy going on!

Old Master Zhou clearly saw Yun Ran's worries and said frankly, "Miss Yun, don't worry, there is a shadow by the master's side, you are not alone."

Upon hearing this, Yun Ran's eyes flashed with surprise. Shadow? She hadn't heard of someone with that kind of identity for many years.

Surprisingly, even in this information-rich age, shadows still exist in this small world.

The Wang family's wealth and influence are indeed far more than what the public sees. Behind the scenes, they enjoy a great deal of luxury.

Now, Yun Ran had no more reservations and went straight into the house.

As soon as she entered, Yunran sensed the presence of seven or eight living beings around the room, but these presences were extremely faint.

If she weren't a member of the Xuanmen sect, she probably wouldn't even be able to detect their presence.

Having confirmed their presence, Yunran finally understood why Elder Zhou was so comfortable letting her come in on her own.

Judging from the breathing of these shadows, she was certain that their skills were unfathomable.

She even sensed a trace of non-human aura emanating from them, very similar to the aura of the undead puppets she had encountered before.

Thinking of how powerful families all have their own ways of cultivating shadows, some even extremely cruel, Yun Ran felt a slight sense of disgust and aversion.

Immediately, their gazes turned to the man lying on the bed, who appeared to be asleep, and their expressions turned sour.
