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

Chapter 626 This kind of comfort is worse than no comfort at all (2nd update)
Hearing Gu Yuan's question, Long Ling replied matter-of-factly, "Yun Ran~"

At this moment, Gu Yuan's mind was screaming wildly: If he is guilty, please judge him by law, instead of letting Long Ling torture him!!!

"Was that phone call you made to Yunran just now?"

Long Ling put on an innocent expression: "Otherwise what? I'm not a kind-hearted person. I naturally only share good things with acquaintances."

Gu Yuan: ...

He rarely admires anyone, but now, Long Ling is one of them.

In other words, the person who was summoned was Yun Ran, and Gu Yuan quickly convinced himself of this.

If it were anyone else, Gu Yuan would immediately jump up and bring out the relevant regulations of the Special Administration Bureau, letting Long Ling see for herself which one she had violated!
"Alright, let's wait and check out the area while we're at it!"

Before they arrived, they had already developed a plan for evacuation.

But now, the sudden appearance of the python made Gu Yuan realize that there were still many flaws in the plan, and it needed to be improved.

When Long Ling and his group appeared in the territory of the Gu God Palace, they were already discovered.

Here, snakes, insects, rats, and birds flying in the sky are all their eyes and ears.

If it weren't for Long Ling bearing the face of their Gu God Palace's Holy Lord, they would never have been able to reach their current position so easily.

Inside the hollowed-out mountainside, a dozen withered old men gathered together.

"Ashe has confirmed the Holy Lord's identity."

"I never expected that a mere Gu girl would have the opportunity to find the Holy Lord. However, I think the Holy Lord seems to be acting a little strange?"

"Shut up! You think you can fabricate stories about the Holy Lord? Have you forgotten the Holy Lord's methods?"

After one of them said that, the other dozen or so withered old men immediately shut up.

The thought that if someone accidentally violated the Holy Lord's rules, even an elder like them would only be thrown to be fed to the Gu worms.

Especially now, these elders have all come to power after several rounds of changes.

To be honest, although they have great faith in the Holy Lord.

However, during the six months that the Holy Lord was missing, they actually felt an unprecedented sense of relief.

Having no one above you but power in your own hands—only those who have experienced it can truly understand this feeling.

Power is such a fascinating thing; once you have it, you never want to let it go.

"If it were the Holy Lord..."

Everyone knew what the second half of those words meant: the Holy Lord hadn't returned. Although their Gu God Palace seemed weaker, everyone was happy.

"Alright, everyone, stop talking nonsense. The return of the Holy Lord is a blessing for our Gu God Palace!"

No matter how many ulterior motives people had, they could only suppress them at this moment. No one wanted to be the next person to anger the Holy Lord and be thrown to be fed to the Gu worms.

"Huh, why is the Holy Lord sitting outside? Could it be that he wants to test us?"

They gathered here to discuss what to do after the Holy Lord returned.

But now that the Holy Lord has arrived at his doorstep, he doesn't come in, but sits outside instead.

Sometimes, it's not that we're afraid of people being stupid and bad, but that we're afraid of people who also like to overthink things.

The withered old man at the head thought for a moment before saying, "Everyone, get ready and clean up any improper things you did before. Then, come with me to the door to kneel and welcome the Holy Lord!"

"Yes, I'll dispose of all the materials that were almost ruined right away!" "Me too!"

Raising Gu worms requires talent, and the quality of the Gu worms determines their status.

Therefore, many people always engage in various illicit activities in private.

As a genius-like being, the Holy Lord naturally has no tolerance for those who know they are rotten but are rotten without realizing it; this is commonly known as aversion to stupidity.

It was several hours later when the people from the Gu God Temple finished dealing with those so-called 'trash'.

After everyone changed their clothes, they respectfully opened the mountain gate.

Two hundred meters away from Long Ling and the others, all the people who had emerged from the hollowed-out mountain knelt down in unison.

Each person was wearing a white linen cloak, which looked quite spectacular from a distance.

When Yunran and her group's plane was in the air, they saw this scene, and Yunran even raised her eyebrows.

"This should be the center of the Gu God Palace. I never expected that the power of your Heavenly Dao Village could penetrate so deep into this area."

Xuan Chu just smiled and didn't say anything. The forces of Tiandao Village basically don't take sides. Right or wrong is none of their business.

The helicopter was very loud, and everyone on the ground instinctively looked up when they heard the sound.

Gu Yuan muttered to himself, "Yun Ran arrived so quickly?"

Just as the plane was about to land, the area that had been a grassy field slowly cracked open, revealing a dedicated helipad.

Special Administration Bureau staff: ...

If they weren't so familiar with Yun Ran, they would probably suspect that this place was Yun Ran's territory. Otherwise, how could they know so clearly that there was a helipad here?
Gu Yuan was actually more curious about how the plane had obtained the flight route.

This is overseas, and the fact that Yun Ran and the others were able to arrive so quickly is enough to show that this plane is no ordinary one.

When Yunran stepped off the plane, everyone's eyes turned to her.

The little paper figure immediately opened its black umbrella, a scene reminiscent of the iconic entrance of a domineering CEO in a TV drama.

The members of the Special Administration Bureau couldn't help but smile, a sense of pride welling up within them.

Gu Yuan rushed over in one stride.

Looking at Gu Yuan's eager manner, which was a stark contrast to his previous avoidance of her, Lin Xiang'er felt a twisted hatred rising in her heart.

Unfortunately, even after she activated the Gu worms countless times, Gu Yuan showed no reaction whatsoever.

Xuan Chu, who followed Yun Ran down, glanced at Gu Yuan and nodded slightly as a greeting.

Seeing Gu Yuan's smiling face, Xuan Chu kindly reminded him, "You have been infected with Gu worms. I suggest you avoid extreme joy or sorrow, as it may aggravate the Gu worms."

Gu Yuan: ...

Good heavens, it turns out he was the only one who hadn't realized he'd been tricked.

Whether it's Long Ling or that guy Xuan Chu, they're both just a glance.

Feeling somewhat frustrated, Gu Yuan could only change the subject: "Your umbrella is quite unique, isn't it?"

Yun Ran patted Gu Yuan on the shoulder and comforted him, "Actually, I didn't realize you were infected with the Gu worm either."

This kind of comfort is worse than none at all.

Yunran lifted her foot and walked forward, but wherever she walked, the surrounding grass immediately withered.
