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

Chapter 529 Willing to be a Pioneer

Yun Ran immediately poked the ginseng fruit's head: "You're the country bumpkin. This is called a local bully. Haven't you heard the saying, 'Even a mighty dragon can't suppress a local snake'?"

Fortunately, both of them spoke very softly, so Fang Yu and the others didn't hear them. At this moment, they were even more enthusiastic in leading the way for Yun Ran and the others.

"Master Yun, this restaurant is a long-established brand, and the food is excellent. There's also a private lounge behind the restaurant..."

Once inside the restaurant, Yunran realized that Fang Yu and his group were truly spending lavishly.

The entire hotel was booked out exclusively for them. It's not just a hotel, but a place that integrates leisure and entertainment.

This kind of place usually does very good business, but they actually closed their doors to customers just to accommodate them.

This is enough to show that Fang Yu and his friends were absolutely sincere in their hospitality.

After eating and drinking to their hearts' content, Fang Yu looked at Xin Fu, and then at Yun Ran.

Only then did he cautiously inquire, "Master Yun, Brother Xin, is there any important matter that brings you to Licheng this time?"

Xin Fu achieved a good ranking in the Xuanmen Grand Competition, but for a Xuanmen family in a place like Kyoto or Haicheng, he was just a promising talent worth cultivating.

But in a somewhat remote place like Licheng, someone who can achieve a ranking in the Xuanmen Grand Competition is a 'benefactor' worth befriending.

Upon Xin Fu's arrival, Fang Yu immediately informed his elders in the sect.

The elders were very supportive, granting him the highest level of authority and welcoming Xinfu and his group with the highest honors.

If it weren't for the fear of being too eager and causing offense, those old guys from Sihuimen would have loved to personally befriend Xinfu.

Xin Fu nodded at Yun Ran before speaking frankly: "It's like this, our abbot took on the task of finding someone in the Death Mountain and was passing through this area, so he wanted to ask you about the situation there."

Many legends surround the Death Mountain, and outsiders are never as familiar with it as the locals.

Fang Yu had assumed that Xin Fu and the others had come for training or other reasons.

Unexpectedly, it was for the mission in the Death Mountain, and his expression immediately changed.

Others may not know, but do those of them living near the Mountain of Death not know? It's not just dangerous there, it's downright deadly.

Back then, many of their predecessors from the Sihui Sect died on the other side of the Death Mountain.

At that time, the relevant systems of the Special Administration Bureau were not yet so perfect, so the Sihuimen (a security guard unit) bore the main responsibility for protection. In addition, their capabilities were limited, resulting in a lot of casualties.

The dangers surrounding Death Mountain have now been temporarily resolved by the bigwigs of the Special Administration Bureau, and Sihuimen is now mainly responsible for monitoring and issuing warnings.

Even so, people still turn pale at the mere mention of the Death Mountain.

Fang Yu looked at Xin Fu with a somewhat unpleasant expression: "Brother Xin, I consider you one of my own. If possible, you should cancel this mission."

Others chimed in, "That's right, the Death Mountain is no good place. My martial uncle is one of the guards on the outer perimeter. That place is really eerie!"

"I had heard about this mission before. A few years ago, some people went on it, but in the end, they couldn't find anyone."

Even the locals didn't dare to venture too far in, let alone go in to look for anyone.

Those people from out of town, I don't know where they got such audacity.

Fang Yu's gaze then turned to Yun Ran: "Master Yun, it's really dangerous over there." From Xin Fu's words and expression just now, he had already realized that Yun Ran was the one in charge of this mission.

Although Fang Yu didn't know how powerful Yun Ran was or what noble status she held, he still wanted to persuade Yun Ran to go back.

It's such a waste for someone so young to lose their life in a place like this.

Yun Ran snapped her fingers lightly, and the scene before Fang Yu's eyes suddenly changed. The huge banquet hall was now a vast expanse of white, and he felt a bone-chilling cold.

Before he could even see what was happening, the scene changed again; the white expanse had instantly transformed into a sea of ​​fire…

With another sound, the scene that had been changing before Fang Yu's eyes returned to the original appearance of the private room.

But Fang Yu clearly saw the thin ice that had formed on his left hand, and the sleeve on his right hand, which looked like it had been burned by flames.

Yun Ran looked at him with a faint smile: "If I didn't have enough confidence, how could I dare to go to the Death Mountain? It's not like I'm really tired of living and want to go looking for death."

Fang Yu felt a tightness in his throat. If Yun Ran had harbored even the slightest malice towards him, he probably wouldn't even know how he died.

He had met those bigwigs from the Special Administration Bureau with his seniors from his master's school.

But now, Fang Yu had a feeling that all those big shots would have to treat this Miss Yun with utmost respect.

For these ordinary disciples of the Xuanmen sect, their future was already predictable.

Those who are slightly smarter are adept at scheming and can curry favor with influential people.

However, it's not easy to meet a helpful person, and even if you do, you might not be able to seize the opportunity.

"Master Yun... I am willing to be your pioneer!"

Previously, Fang Yu had repeatedly tried to persuade Yun Ran to give up the idea of ​​going to the Death Mountain, but now, after seeing Yun Ran make a small move, Fang Yu immediately changed his mind.

Yunran: ...

She has her little paper dolls; she doesn't need any pioneers to scout ahead.

The others were also intelligent, and their minds raced as soon as they heard Fang Yu's words.

“Master Yun, I often patrol around the Death Mountain with my uncle, so I am very familiar with the area. With us leading the way, it will definitely be twice as efficient.”

"That's right, the weather there is often unpredictable, and I'm very good at observing the weather..."

……

Everyone was trying their best to talk about their own strengths, even though these strengths were useless to Yunran.

Xinfu's expression was the most complicated at this moment; he had only wanted these local friends to provide some help.

Now, these guys are all trying to steal his job.

Especially now, seeing everyone so enthusiastically volunteering, and even going to the Death Mountain, if outsiders knew this, they would be shocked.

Xin Fu quickly interrupted them: "Um, everyone, please be quiet for a moment. Death Mountain is very dangerous..."

Before he could finish speaking, Fang Yu quickly interrupted Xin Fu: "Brother Xin, it's precisely because it's dangerous that we should join in. The more people there are, the more strength we have!"
"Those who enter the Xuanmen (Taoist sect), aside from the spineless and complacent ones, when are they ever safe from danger?"
