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

Chapter 477 It's good that he's not dead
As Ginseng Fruit listened, it suddenly interrupted, "You mean, that wooden figure also jumped into that vortex?"

The little paper doll nodded quickly: "Yes, boss, it runs faster than us!"

The ginseng fruit, which had been anxious and uneasy, suddenly became calm as if it had eaten some kind of magic pill.

"With him here, there's nothing to worry about."

The paper figures were created after Yunran came into this world.

Even if they knew that the wooden figure contained their master's junior uncle's spirit puppet, they had no idea how powerful their junior uncle was.

However, Ginseng Fruit knew how powerful this junior uncle Yan Huaiyi was, and even had the "honor" of witnessing his host being beaten and running all over the mountain.

Junior Uncle is not only extremely powerful in combat, but also proficient in the art of divination and escape. Wherever he is, the host will definitely be safe.

"Boss, do you mean the master is alright?"

Ginseng Fruit nodded: "Nothing will happen, we can just wait here."

The little paper figures immediately quieted down and finally had a leader.

Xuan Chu's gaze had been fixed on him ever since the ginseng fruit appeared, and now he saw that all the little paper figures that had been acting like madmen had fallen silent.

Something unusual must be amiss. He naturally didn't believe that Yun Ran's little apprentice and magical artifacts would 'betray' her when she was in trouble.

Therefore, there is only one possibility for this situation to occur: they have special means to determine Yunran's safety.

Xuan Chu breathed a sigh of relief and immediately focused his attention, working with the others to purify the deathly and evil energy in the vicinity.

On the other side, Gu Yuan, who was setting up his formation, happened to run into Elder Gong and Minister Duan, who were retreating.

The two sides were clearly on opposing sides, but since they both belonged to the same Xuanmen family, they still had to consider some face-saving when they met.

After looking at each other for a while, Gu Yuan adjusted his scarf and tugged at his hat before finally revealing his mouth and eyes.

"Are you running for your lives?"

Gu Yuan is still the same Gu Yuan, always speaking so incisively, yet with an exceptionally sharp tongue.

As he spoke, Gu Yuan glanced behind Elder Gong and the others: "There are no pursuers. It seems they have successfully escaped."

Elder Gong: ...

She had a million questions she wanted to say to Gu Yuan, but now was clearly not the time to say them.

He patted Minister Duan on the shoulder: "Put me down."

Minister Duan carefully put down the seriously injured Elder Gong.

Looking at Gu Yuan riding on the tiger's back, I felt a pang of sadness. We're all human, yet the difference in treatment is just too great.

"I remember you used to have a pretty good relationship with Yunran, didn't you?"

Old Gong was actually a little unsure about Yun Ran's position within Director Xie's faction, especially now that Yun Ran had been expelled from the Special Administration Bureau.

If Yunran is just a pawn or a smokescreen for Director Xie, then he's not sure now whether Gu Yuan would be willing to help.

Therefore, we can only try a small test first.

Gu Yuan, who had initially seemed rather nonchalant, immediately became serious when he heard Elder Gong mention Yun Ran.

He wasn't afraid of Elder Gong finding out how important Yun Ran was to him. If he had the time to use Yun Ran to threaten him, he would have captured her long ago.

"What happened to Yunran?!"

Judging from his tone and posture, Elder Gong was certain that Yun Ran held considerable weight, at least in Gu Yuan's eyes.

Elder Gong then recounted what had happened before, before continuing, "I didn't witness Yun Ran's accident firsthand, but for her magical artifact to withdraw so frantically, it must have been no small matter."

Gu Yuan was very familiar with the paper dolls, and therefore knew very well that if Yun Ran hadn't run into trouble, the paper dolls that Yun Ran had sent out would never have left directly.

After thinking for a moment, Gu Yuan turned to the mountain guardian, Baji: "Do you know the location of that pile of rocks?"

Baji nodded quickly. He was grateful to Yunran and knew that the awakening of the mountain spirit was definitely related to Yunran.

Now that Yunran is in trouble, let alone just leading the way, he would be happy to give up his old bones for her.

"Know!"

Before the mountain spirit awoke, that pile of rocks was a forbidden zone in this deep forest; even if he wanted to go, he simply couldn't.

But now that the mountain spirit has awakened, its range of movement has greatly expanded, and it can even approach the forbidden area.

Gu Yuan then looked at Elder Gong and Minister Duan: "I'll go find Yun Ran. You two go with the team to set up the purification array!"

It seemed like they were discussing it, but in reality, Gu Yuan's tone left no room for argument.

Minister Duan shouldn't have had any objections to rescuing Yunran.

But now, hearing Gu Yuan's words, he found them so grating.

In terms of status, he is no less than Gu Yuan, let alone Elder Gong. Even if Director Xie were here, he would have to give Elder Gong a lot of face!

To everyone's surprise, Elder Gong was the first to agree: "No problem, I've also found someone to come as soon as possible!"

If he hadn't been seriously injured, and if Minister Duan hadn't left him alone to go find Yun Ran, Elder Gong would have gone to find Yun Ran himself.

"Leave things here to me."

Bucky drew a simple map of the remaining points and then whistled.

Before long, a little white fox appeared in everyone's sight, whimpering softly.

“I’m leaving this little fox here. If you get lost, it will guide you back. Also, this little fox has already developed intelligence, so I hope you will treat it well.”

After they left, the people here were clearly led by Elder Gong and Minister Duan.

Therefore, when Baji said this, his gaze was fixed directly on Elder Gong.

“No problem, as long as we have a breath left, this little fox will be perfectly fine.”

Once he received the promise, Baji was relieved. The little fox was indeed very beautiful, with not a single stray hair on its body, and it even seemed to have developed intelligence.

Anyone with selfish motives would definitely covet the little fox's fur and flesh.

Baji wouldn't have let the little fox show itself unless he was personally leading the way to find Yunran and the others.

Before leaving, Baji held the little fox and comforted it for a while until it calmed down. He also explained a lot of things to the other tigers.

Old Master Gong took the little fox from Baji's hands with the same solemnity as if he were holding a baby.

"Be careful on this trip."

Gu Yuan nodded and followed behind Baji, riding the tiger towards the pile of rocks.

Watching the two figures leave until they gradually disappeared from sight.

Minister Duan said with some concern, "Elder Gong, your health requires rest now..."

Old Master Gong waved his hand and said, "It's good that he's not dead."
