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

Chapter 528 We seem to be country bumpkins (2nd update)
Yunran had already boarded a plane and left Haicheng as quickly as possible.

Master Xuan Kong and his disciple are setting up various obstacles to prevent those old monsters from finding Yun Ran.

Xuan Chu was still somewhat dazed. It was truly remarkable that Yun Ran, with her current combat strength, could still listen to advice so readily.

Sensing that Yun Ran's presence was no longer in Haicheng, Xuan Chu couldn't help but sigh softly, "She ran away way too fast..."

Yun Ran listened to the advice and gave face to Tiandao Village, not causing them any trouble. Xuan Kong also had a very good impression of Yun Ran at this moment.

Compared to those unruly geniuses, he clearly admired Yun Ran, a genius who knew when to advance and retreat, much more. No wonder Yun Ran's sect chose her as the successor of their lineage.

Xuan Kong glanced at Xuan Chu and suddenly had the thought that 'other people's children are better'.

The master and apprentice were now relaxed, completely unaware that the old monsters who had rushed over were frantically searching for the 'treasure'.

A blind, disheveled old man wandered back and forth less than a hundred miles from Qingfeng Temple.

He kept muttering to himself, "Something's not right. My baby should be nearby, why can't I find him?!"

People around saw this 'poor' old man and were filled with sympathy, so they bought a lot of food and put it in front of him.

"Grandpa, are you hungry and can't find your way home? How about I help you find a policeman?"

Some passersby kindly approached to ask him questions, but were frightened by the old man's sudden, empty gaze and retreated repeatedly.

After a long while, the passerby suddenly came to his senses.

He was all alone in the vicinity, and a gentle breeze made him feel the hairs on his body stand on end.

In an instant, the passerby's face turned deathly pale. Just now, his mind seemed to go blank, and he couldn't remember what had happened.

He felt as if he had been startled by something, and he tried hard to recall it, but he couldn't remember it at all.

"Is this...is this what the fortune teller said about me having bad luck this year?"

The passerby was terrified, thinking he had encountered a ghost, and quickly took out the ten-yuan amulet he had bought at the scenic spot and held it in his palm.

He kept muttering, "Demons and monsters, go away..."

It's unclear whether the talisman gave him some courage and restored some of his strength, but he then took off running.

Completely unaware that in a corner unseen by him, the blind old man was constantly turning the thin thread in his hand.

If someone knowledgeable were to witness this scene, they would surely be shocked.

The fine thread that the old man was flipping through was clearly made from the memories he had extracted from others.

The old man originally intended to kill these people who were disturbing his search for treasure; he hated people chattering in front of him the most.

But just as he was about to make a move, he suddenly realized that the people from Tiandao Village were also in Haicheng.

To avoid trouble for himself, he stopped and only extracted their memories of seeing him.

The old man was very fast; he quickly turned the fine threads composed of other people's memories into the shape of a small bird.

After taking a pat on the little bird, the old man whispered, "Go find that treasure!"

The little bird, its body faintly shrouded in mist, immediately flew away.

The little bird flew to the vicinity of the Ran Mansion, lingered for a while, but did not find the person it was looking for, and quickly left.

The other old monsters are also using their own methods to search for people.

If Yun Ran hadn't left, and if Xuan Kong and his disciple hadn't provided cover, it would have been only a matter of time before they found her. Before leaving, Yun Ran called Shen Zhe, telling him that some unidentified old monsters had recently arrived in Haicheng, and warned him to be careful.

Shen Zhe believed Yun Ran's words without a doubt and immediately ordered his men to speed up the patrol.

The streets and alleys of Haicheng were soon filled with many unfamiliar faces, such as food delivery drivers and Didi drivers.

Yunran took a nap and arrived at her destination. As soon as she exited the airport, she saw several young people dressed in unconventional styles holding a huge banner at the entrance.

[A warm welcome to Brother Xin for visiting Licheng!!!]

Yunran: ...

Xin Fu felt like he was digging his toes into the villa; he hadn't expected these guys to be so outrageous.

From afar, they saw Xinfu and quickly went to him.

Xin Fu followed behind Yun Ran, pushing four boxes in his hands, while Yun Ran carried only a bag on her back and walked in front.

In their eyes, Xin Fu was the undisputed elder brother, but now, why does their elder brother Xin seem more like a follower?

"Brother Xin... Brother Xin..."

They weren't stupid. At this moment, they were calling out Xin Fu's name, but their eyes kept glancing at Yun Ran, revealing a strong sense of illicit affection.

Yun Ran immediately recognized these people as disciples of the local minor sects, who were not particularly capable but were of good lineage.

"Don't you want to introduce me?"

Xin Fu forcibly suppressed the embarrassment he had just felt.

He then smiled and said, "This is Miss Yunran, the abbess of Qingfeng Temple. These are friends I met when I was training here before. Their ancestors have lived here for generations and they are very familiar with the situation here."

Yun Ran nodded and looked at these local 'big shots'. With them around, they would have a better grasp of the situation on the Death Mountain side.

"Hello, I am Yunran."

The young man in the lead couldn't tell what level Yun Ran was at, but as the master of a sect, even if they had never heard of him, he was still very powerful.

He immediately smiled and said, "So it's Abbot Yun. We are disciples of the Four Meetings Sect here. My name is Fang Yu... and they..."

Fang Yu had already realized that their revered Brother Xinfu was now subtly siding with Yun Ran.

Their gazes toward Yunran were now filled with genuine smiles.

"We've already set a meal time. Let's talk about it while we eat."

Fang Yu booked the biggest and most luxurious restaurant in Licheng. When they arrived, everyone from the manager to the chefs and waiters was waiting at the door.

As Yun Ran and her group got out of the car, everyone bowed in unison: "Welcome!"

Yunran: ...

Goodness, she's never enjoyed this kind of treatment in Haicheng or Kyoto, but she's actually getting it in this tiny Licheng.

Seeing how Fang Yu and the others seemed to take it all in stride, Yun Ran immediately understood that the Four Associations Sect was, in her eyes or the Special Administration Bureau's eyes, an insignificant little shrimp.

But in this beautiful city, it is clearly a 'giant' that others cannot reach or touch.

"Host, I feel like we're both country bumpkins, acting like we've never seen the world before..."
