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

Chapter 691 Touching (2nd update)
Xuan Chu drove Yun Ran back to the villa, and the little paper doll parted ways with them halfway there.

The little paper doll knew the way and quickly escorted Zhang Weilin to the entrance of the small building of the Xuanmen Association.

Then it quietly hid in a corner, keeping a close eye on the person, intending to monitor them all!

As soon as Xuan Chu and the others arrived at the villa, they saw Gu Yuan waiting in the living room.

"Where have you been? I've been waiting for you for so long!"

Gu Yuan had no idea that Yun Ran was missing. At the moment, he was very relaxed and casual, holding an apple that had just been airlifted back and eating it.

Xuan Chu glanced at Yun Ran, his meaning clear: [They don't know you're missing.]

Of course she knew that Rong Gu had replaced her, and it was best not to let the news get out.

Otherwise, what was originally a small matter could have escalated into something much worse.

Fortunately, she's back now; otherwise, who knows how many more lies she would have had to tell to cover up this one.

"I went out for a walk."

Gu Yuan hadn't taken it seriously; he was just asking casually.

Yunran is free to go wherever she wants, and even if they have a good relationship, it's none of their business.

But just as Yun Ran was about to go upstairs, Gu Yuan suddenly noticed that Yun Ran was actually wearing pajamas, and the protective covering on the pajamas had been damaged.

He immediately jumped in surprise: "How did the defenses on these clothes break!"

Yunran: ...

I still need to come up with a reason, sigh!
"Oh, nothing much, I just went out to do an experiment to make it easier to improve the defenses on this suit in the future."

Upon hearing this reason, Gu Yuan had no objections and sat back down. This was indeed something Yun Ran would do.

After dealing with Gu Yuan, both Yun Ran and Xuan Chu breathed a sigh of relief.

The two of them could easily crush Gu Yuan.

However, both Yun Ran and Xuan Chu were somewhat intimidated by Gu Yuan's 'enthusiastic' nature.

"Please sit down for a while, I'll go upstairs and change my clothes."

After Yun Ran left, Gu Yuan dropped the apple in his hand, moved closer to Xuan Chu, and stared intently at him.

"You really went to conduct experiments?"

Xuan Chu immediately replied in a firm and affirmative tone: "Of course, what else would you say?"

Gu Yuan then withdrew his staring gaze.

"Alright, by the way, I came to tell you about what happened before. The net is ready, and we're just waiting for those evil cultivators to slip in before we can close it in."

Now, the cooperation between the Special Administration Bureau, Tiandao Village, and the Wanqi family is more than halfway complete.

In the final moments, no one can afford to falter; if anything goes wrong, all the previous efforts will be wasted.

Although he knew that Xuan Chu wouldn't let him down, Gu Yuan still made the trip himself, as he would need to speak with Wan Qiyu later.

"Well, I see."

Yunran quickly changed her clothes and came downstairs. This time, she not only carried Erdan in her hand, but also had the little paper doll open the black umbrella from before.

Gu Yuan didn't quite understand the meaning behind Yun Ran's look, but since Yun Ran had done it this way, she must have her reasons.

Are you staying here for dinner later?

Gu Yuan quickly shook his head: "No, I just came here to take care of some business and happened to see you. There will be plenty of time for us to eat together later."

When it comes to serious matters, Gu Yuan is a very reliable person. Even if Yun Ran is standing in front of him, and sometimes he can even bypass Xie Xuzhi's half-sister, he can still keep his head straight.

Yunran knew Gu Yuan's personality and didn't try to stop him.

"Okay, then we'll talk about it when you have time."

After Gu Yuan left, Xuan Chu also went to attend to other matters. Don't think that he just sits here and issues orders every day.

In fact, he has a lot to do every day. He not only has to read all the emails that are compiled, but also has to manage many other things.

Only someone as energetic as Xuan Chu could handle such an intense 'working from home' schedule.

The only person with the most free time is Yunran.

A moment later, the little paper figure came over holding a token.

“Master, Mo Zhi has returned to her original state and gone back to the jade pendant. She asked me to tell you that she is alright and you don’t need to worry about her.”

The little paper doll had previously described to Yunran how Mo Zhi looked after being shattered by the aftershocks of the ion cannon in the Ghost Realm, just like a soaked dried sea buckthorn.

Yunran was somewhat moved, thinking about how timid and afraid of death Mo Zhi used to be.

This time, he actually shielded himself from most of the damage with his body when the aftershocks hit...

It is said that there are two types of people who are most touching.

One type of person bleeds but doesn't cry, yet they shed tears; the other type sheds tears but doesn't bleed, yet they bleed.

Mo Zhi belongs to the second type, which moved Yun Ran deeply.

And so, with a wave of his hand, he lent Mo Zhi the token that the Ghost Realm Ancestor had given her, the one that could open the Ghost Realm, to help her recover from her injuries.

That token was the perfect place for Mo Zhi, who was so shaken that he couldn't even maintain his original soul form, to recuperate.

It hasn't been long since they came back, and Mo Zhi has already returned to her original appearance.

In other words, Mo Zhi's previous actions had been recognized by Yun Ran.

Otherwise, she would never have allowed Mo Zhi to enter that token.

That token is a true magic weapon of the highest level. Once Mo Zhi develops a covetous heart, he could take advantage of Yun Ran's inability to use the power of the Xuanmen.

It's quite possible that they might try to take the token that can open the ghost realm for themselves.

Yun Ran nodded: "It's good that she's alright."

He then took the token and casually put it back in his pocket.

In fact, only Yunran could open the pocket of Yunran's clothes.

The previous matter has come to an end, and it's time to deal with other things.

"Bring over the puppet that replaced me before. Also, keep an eye on He Tu. If he wakes up, bring him over!"

He Tu was a victim, but when Yun Ran didn't want to reason with her, there was no need to.

The little paper figure quickly retrieved the puppet that Xuan Chu had previously trapped with the confinement array.

As for He Tu, his soul was severely injured. If he had encountered this situation at any other time, he would have been beyond saving and would have been forced to remain asleep until he died.

But his luck was a mix of misfortune and good fortune; at the most dangerous moment, his junior uncle intervened.

They extracted the mark planted in his soul and even treated him while they were at it.

After sleeping for more than ten hours, He Tu finally woke up, but he looked like he had aged more than ten years.

Now he looks almost like a centenarian, so weak that he can't even withstand a child's punch.
