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

Chapter 669: You sit at home and the pot comes from the sky

When Xie Xuzhi's confidant saw that the people who came to hand over the duties were all in their twenties, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

I thought there would never be anyone as decisive as Director Xie, but who would have thought that Miss Yun would be just as decisive.

Back then, Director Xie was able to overcome all opposition and appoint young people with no background.

It wasn't just because Director Xie had already established himself within the Special Administration Bureau, but also because his family background provided a safety net.

Given the favorable timing, location, and circumstances, naturally no one could interfere with Director Xie's decision.

Xin Fu had no idea what Xie Xuzhi's confidants were thinking, but he noticed that Xie Xuzhi's gaze had fallen on them.

Unable to resist asking, "Is there something wrong?"

Today was the first time he had led his men to work for Qingfeng Temple, so there was no room for carelessness.

They are not representing themselves now, but the face of Qingfeng Temple and its abbot; they must not be underestimated.

"Oh, it's nothing, please come with me."

Yun Ran is one of their own people; only someone who's not thinking straight would make things difficult for Yun Ran.

Xin Fu and the people following him naturally sensed the other party's goodwill, but they still remained on high alert.

They not only thoroughly inspected the assets handed over to them, but also explored the surrounding area.

Only after confirming that there were no problems did they sign to accept the document, and at the same time, the official seal of Qingfeng Temple was affixed.

After finishing everything, it was already dawn. Although everyone had stayed up all night, they all looked energetic.

In that state, it seemed like he could hold on for a few more days.

Xie Xuzhi's confidants inexplicably felt inferior to him, and secretly competed with Xin Fu and the others.

"The matter has been taken care of, so we'll head back now."

"Hey, what's the rush? You're already here, at least finish your meal before you leave. If you just leave like this, where will we put our pride?"

Xin Fu glanced at the person who spoke, his tone remaining calm.

"We still need to go back and report to the abbot. We also need to return to Haicheng later. Qingfeng Temple was only recently established, and there are still many things waiting for us to do..."

Xie Xuzhi's confidants genuinely wanted to persuade him to stay, but the other party's reasons were so compelling that they had nothing to say.

I watched until Xinfu and the others had walked far away and their backs were no longer visible.

Only then did someone belatedly realize, "Why do I have this feeling that I'm just occupying a position without doing anything?"

"Hehe, take away the 'seems like' part. Compared to us, their small workshops are really aggressive with their materials!"

"Looking back now, we were actually quite lucky. Although we worked a lot of overtime, we could take time off in lieu of overtime pay, and there was also a high amount of overtime pay..."

"I think I can work three more days of overtime!"

Xin Fu was completely unaware of this, because they wanted to save face for Yun Ran and Qingfeng Temple.

It forced some people who were already exhausted to feel like they could work even harder.

When Yunran saw the property, which was worth several times more than the previous small island, she was beaming with joy.

“Master, we have personally inspected all these properties and there are no problems. We have even investigated the surrounding area.”

Yun Ran nodded: "Yes, I trust you to handle things. You've all had a hard time on this trip, go back and get some rest."

Although Yunran sometimes acts inhumanely, of course, she herself doesn't always treat herself like a human being.

But she's not the kind of person who climbs up from the bottom and then, once she's made it, wants to treat the people below her like slaves.

Yunran's generosity often exceeded expectations. "The few courtyards that were reserved separately are open to you for use. In addition, each of you can choose one item from the storeroom."

Nowadays, anyone with a bit of status knows that it's extremely difficult to find a room at Qingfeng Temple.

Xin Fu was already happy because Yun Ran recognized his competence, but he didn't expect there to be an extra reward.

Overwhelmed with emotion, Xin Fu immediately knelt down on one knee, displaying complete submission: "Thank you, Abbot!"

Yunran: ...

She was really just casually rewarding someone who did a good job, but it's acting like she's trying to win people over.

"Get up."

However, Yunran's happiness did not last long.

Even though Erdan was there to protect her from bad luck, misfortune still didn't completely stay away from Yunran.

Xuan Chu rushed over, glanced at Xin Fu and the others who were pledging their loyalty, and paused.

Yun Ran waved her hand and said to Xin Fu, "You guys go back to Haicheng first."

Xin Fu nodded respectfully, then bowed to Xuan Chu before leaving.

"Don't tell me something's happened again that has to do with me!"

When Xuan Chu heard the news, he was at a loss for words. But coincidentally, this matter was indeed related to Yun Ran.

"Some people, under the guise of seeking justice for you, have killed many evil cultivators, especially those evil cultivators who hide and steal people's luck."

Many heretical cultivators have broken through your defenses and come to hate you. Knowing you're currently in South China, the people of Tiandao Village have detected a large influx of heretical cultivators heading this way.

Yunran: ...

Before, Yun Ran wouldn't have been afraid of any number of evil cultivators, but now, sigh, it's all tears...

Xuan Chu asked in confusion, "Could it be that the news of you being attacked and having your abilities sealed has gotten out?"

Very few people knew about this, and they were all people Yunran trusted. So who spread the news?
Xuan Chu racked his brains to help Yun Ran figure out who the leaker was.

Unexpectedly, Yun Ran's expression was one of gritted teeth, clearly indicating that she knew who was behind all this.

"Do you know who it is?"

Based on the information she obtained, Yunran quickly deduced who the person was.

"Crane Slayer!"

This name was completely unfamiliar to Xuan Chu, and he looked at Yun Ran with some confusion.

The little paper figure who had been tidying up the house was also stunned when it heard the name. It was clear that it felt that the name should not appear here.

"Who is this person?"

Yun Ran was about to explode; she had no time to explain this person's identity to Xuan Chu.

However, the little paper doll, in just a few words, revealed He Tu's identity and all his previous deeds.

Xuan Chu: ...

He glanced at Yun Ran with some sympathy, thinking to himself, "What kind of luck does this guy have? He even managed to provoke such a morally ambiguous old monster."

This isn't helping Yunran vent her anger; it's clearly just causing her trouble.

The key point is that this person can't even be considered Yun Ran's 'accomplice', yet it was Yun Ran who bore the consequences of his actions.

It's like a pot falling from the sky while you're just sitting at home.
