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

Chapter 499: The Rumors Were Released in Advance

When descending the mountain, Yunran naturally couldn't walk down step by step as before. The little paper doll was quick to act and soon made two sedan chairs.

Watching Yunran and Ginseng Fruit sit directly on the sedan chair, carried by the little paper figures, they disappeared in a flash.

A hint of envy flashed in Long Ling's eyes. It could fly, but it had never been carried like this before. This was incredibly prestigious!

After thinking it over, it quickly chased after it and landed on the ginseng fruit's sedan chair.

It wouldn't dare go to Yunran's sedan chair, but it could still try to get some ginseng fruit.

The wind whistled past their ears, and half an hour later, having avoided the Special Administration Bureau's camp, they reached the foot of the mountain.

If it weren't for the fact that flesh and blood have limited speed limits, the little paper figures could have descended the mountain even faster.

Yunran straightened her hat, which had been ruffled by the wind, and glanced at the little paper figure.

The little paper figure immediately dismantled the sedan chair, and a spark flew out, turning the wood into charcoal in an instant.

After stomping on it twice more, it turned into coke powder. After successfully 'destroying the evidence,' the little paper doll immediately hid itself.

Yun Ran was speechless when she saw that Long Ling was still by her side: "Why haven't you left yet!"

Dragon Spirit: ...

Hmph, ungrateful humans. If it weren't worried about her, would it have stayed here and been a nuisance?
"Let's go!"

With that, Long Ling flicked its tail and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Ginseng Fruit glanced at the Special Administration Bureau personnel not far away before asking, "Host, are we leaving now?"

"I'm no longer with the Special Administration Bureau, so it's best to avoid getting involved with them."

However, even if you're leaving, you still need to say goodbye to certain people.

For example, Old Master Gong, after all, was tricked into coming by her before, and not only did he leave, it seemed a bit impolite.

Most importantly, I'm afraid these people won't be so easy to fool next time.

With a wave of his hand, one of the little paper figures that had been hiding immediately flew out.

After searching for a while, the little paper figure found Old Master Gong resting inside a tent.

However, there were quite a few people inside the tent, which made the little paper figure unsure whether to just go in.

The owner taught them that they shouldn't disturb others when they are talking.

He then stuck it on the tent window, intending to wait and see.

"who!"

A blast of air shot directly towards the direction the little paper figure was pointing.

The little paper figure nimbly dodged, its tiny head filled with confusion.

Although it doesn't deliberately hide itself, it's still a bit difficult to find it.

This person is quite impressive to be able to spot it the moment it gets close.

Discovered, the little paper figure reached out, lifted the curtain on the window, and flew in.

The man who had spoken earlier was utterly astonished when he saw that what had entered was just a tiny paper figure the size of a palm.

He has a special ability: he can detect any fluctuation in the air.

Wherever he is, no matter if someone tries to eavesdrop or uses drones, they will not succeed.

The man asked, somewhat puzzled, "This is..."

Minister Duan interrupted his question, looking at the little paper figure now completely clean, and a thought suddenly popped into his mind. "Is your master alright?"

The little paper figure nodded. Its purpose in coming here was simply to convey a message to Elder Gong and Minister Duan.

"Well, we're leaving now. Master asked me to pass on a message."

After saying that, without waiting for any instructions from Elder Gong and the others, he vanished in a flash.

Minister Duan was speechless as he looked at the little paper figure running so fast.

"Hey, this little paper doll is really something, it can't even deliver a message properly, why is it running so fast!"

Although Old Master Gong's face was still somewhat pale, it was much better than before.

The furrowed brows that had been there before immediately relaxed after the little paper doll delivered the message.

"That girl really did have a trump card; she managed to escape unscathed from such a dangerous place."

Minister Duan glanced at the others inside the tent, his eyes filled with the thought that they had suffered a huge loss.

Previously, in order to "save" Yun Ran, Elder Gong used his connections to find so many capable people.

Now, Yun Ran herself has come out and sent a paper doll to tell them she's gone, without showing up in person. He doesn't even know what to say.

Old Master Gong smiled and looked at the others: "I really appreciate your help this time. I didn't expect things to be resolved so easily. However, I appreciate this favor."

"Elder Gong, what are you saying? It's our honor to be able to help you!"

"That's right, Elder Gong, you should rest now. Leave the rest to us."

……

The others came here partly to give Elder Gong face, and partly because they also had something they wanted on this mountain range.

As long as it's not excessive, they tacitly approve of giving themselves some perks.

After making arrangements for the others, Minister Duan returned to Elder Gong's tent.

Seeing that Elder Gong was about to get out of bed, he quickly stepped forward to help him: "Your body needs to rest well. If you need anything, just call me."

"Yun Ran left so quickly, which means there are other people on the mountain. If I'm not mistaken, Director Xie has probably come."

Minister Duan was utterly shocked: "No way, isn't Director Gu on the mountain enough?"

Old Gong shook his head, his gaze drifting through the tent window towards the mountains.

“It’s not enough. If it were just the people of us, Gu Yuan might be able to handle it, but now that the threat on the mountain has been eliminated.”

Do you think those reclusive esoteric families will emerge? Do you know how many rare and precious treasures are hidden in these mountains?

Putting everything else aside, just take that little fox that led us the way before. Not only is it rare, it's also become intelligent. Eating it could definitely extend our lifespan..."

Minister Duan isn't naive or innocent; he just comes from a privileged background and holds a high position of power. He can get whatever he wants just by asking.

Hearing such a bloody struggle for resources, he fell silent for a moment, which was uncharacteristic of him.

If the crisis on the mountain is truly resolved, let alone Gu Yuan alone, even if he and Elder Gong are included, they will not be able to stop someone with even greater power.

Although he didn't like Yun Ran, he knew her to some extent and at least her character wasn't bad.

What they could think of, Yun Ran couldn't possibly not have thought of. The fact that she left so gracefully must mean that there was already someone here who could take charge.

"But Director Xie, he..."

Before Xie Xuzhi came here, he deliberately spread the word in advance, the purpose of which was naturally to intimidate all kinds of monsters and demons.

Old Master Gong has his own information channels, but he just didn't pay attention to them before.
