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

Chapter 718 I'm a stickler for principles (2nd update)
Long Ling reached the mountaintop smoothly and saw the ginseng fruit directing the bodyguards from afar.

This scene looks very incongruous; no matter how you look at it, it seems illogical.

After all, no one wanted to believe that a little kid could have such power to make those already extraordinary adults obey his commands.

When Ginseng Fruit saw Dragon Spirit, it was stunned for a moment.

After giving all the instructions, he walked over to Long Ling, who had an arrogant look on her face and was tilting her head back as if to say, "I won't hold it against you."

"You're in Haicheng!"

Long Ling could hear the surprise, and a little bit of joy, in Ren Shenguo's tone.

Long Ling, who was initially a little angry, finally straightened his head.

It turns out that Ginseng Fruit didn't know he was in Haicheng, so the invitation issue must have been a misunderstanding.

Long Ling nodded: "Yes, I just got back!"

Although he wasn't so angry anymore because of what the ginseng fruit said.

However, he would rather be misunderstood by the ginseng fruit as having just returned than have people know that he was in Haicheng but had not received an invitation.

Not wanting to continue this awkward and frustrating topic, Long Ling asked directly, "Is the matter resolved?"

Ginseng Fruit glanced at Director Song not far away. That's right! Thanks to the tireless efforts of the little paper doll who was tricked into taking the job, those achievements directly promoted Song Ye, the team leader, to the position of deputy director.

"Director Song personally led the team. The suspect has already been brought to him. He will handle the rest."

The guests haven't left yet because we're worried there might still be some poison residue; we need to make sure all the poison is collected.

Upon hearing this, Long Ling frowned immediately: "So troublesome? Didn't quite a few people from the Xuanmen sect come this time? They could have easily solved it with a little effort!"

In the past, perhaps Ginseng Fruit would have agreed with what Dragon Spirit said.

However, during this time, he was busy dealing with the mundane affairs of Qingfeng Temple, as well as some contract matters between Yunran and the Yun family.

The more one gets involved in worldly affairs, the more one understands that this world is ultimately dominated by ordinary people.

No matter how powerful the people in the Xuanmen sect are, their talent and resources alone mean that the number of people in the Xuanmen sect will be far less than that of ordinary people.

Most of the rules of this world are set by ordinary people.

The Special Administration Bureau exists to balance the interests of those within the Xuanmen sect and ordinary people.

Therefore, even though many things can be done by people in the Xuanmen sect with a simple gesture, they still have to follow the rules of the mortal world and cannot overstep the boundaries.

"It is not convenient for people in the Xuanmen sect to get too involved in this matter."

Long Ling seemed to suddenly remember that she was from the Special Administration Bureau, and that an 'outsider' had reminded her...

Long Ling coughed awkwardly twice. "Where's Yun Ran? I'll go find her!"

"It's over in the lounge, I'll take you there..."

"No need, I'll go by myself. You go ahead with your work."

Ginseng Fruit looked at the dragon spirit, who was clearly fleeing in panic, and felt a little confused. Then she continued to do her own thing.

When Long Ling arrived at the building where the lounge was located, he saw Xuan Chu and someone he didn't recognize standing downstairs like two gatekeepers.

Xuan Chu naturally saw Long Ling as well. Their gazes met in the air for a moment, then they looked away in tacit agreement.

Long Ling also rolled her eyes at Xuan Chu: Now is clearly not the time to settle scores. Just you wait!

Xuan Chu: I'll wait then, I'm not afraid of you!
Wan Qiyu was just a passerby with no connection to the matter at this moment. He glanced at Long Ling and then at Xuan Chu.

"Who are you? What are you looking at!"

Wan Qiyu was inexplicably yelled at by Long Ling, but he didn't dare to get angry.

There was no way around it; the oppressive aura emanating from the dragon spirit was simply too heavy, making him somewhat intimidated. Wan Qiyu stepped forward, intending to introduce himself, but before he could even speak, the dragon spirit cut him off again.

"Anyone who stands with this treacherous fellow is no good either. Get out of the way!"

Wan Qiyu: ...

Haha, calling him a mere passerby is too kind; he's clearly just cannon fodder!
Long Ling walked straight past Xuan Chu and Wan Qiyu upstairs, while Xuan Chu just stood there, showing no intention of stopping her.

Only after Long Ling's figure disappeared did Wan Qiyu whisper to Xuan Chu, "Who is that person?"

"Just a possessed creature, not important!"

If Wan Qiyu still can't see that Xuan Chu and Long Ling have a grudge, then he has truly lived in vain for all those years.

However, Xuan Chu did not stop him, which means that this person's relationship with his sworn sister must be unusual.

Thinking back to that look Long Ling gave him, he felt as if he had been nailed to the spot.

Unfortunately, the feeling came and went quickly, leaving him no time to figure it out.

"Knock knock knock..."

Yunran heard a knock on the door. Even though she couldn't see what was happening outside, she guessed that Long Ling had arrived.

"Come in!"

Long Ling pushed open the door, not intending to give Yun Ran a friendly look.

To everyone's surprise, upon entering, they saw Yunran sitting in the corner of the sofa, while their junior uncle's wooden figure stood in the middle of the coffee table.

Long Ling's expression immediately changed, and a fawning smile appeared on her face.

"Junior Uncle, I came immediately upon receiving your summons. It's been so long since I've seen you, how have you been?"

Yunran: ...

Hehe, if anyone tells her in the future that those creatures born and raised by nature are proud and aloof, and will never bow their heads even in death, she will really laugh herself to death.

Junior Uncle nodded slightly and then released the formation that had previously trapped half of the Dragon Spirit's Dragon Essence.

Although Long Ling's dragon essence was divided into two halves, one half was in seclusion and the other half was outside.

However, Long Ling was well aware of the progress of her other half, Long Ling's, seclusion.

Seeing the Dragon Essence now, which was clearly much stronger, Long Ling's face immediately lit up with surprise.

"Junior Uncle, when can my Dragon Essence be re-integrated?"

Judging from Long Ling's current state, she does indeed deserve a beating. Compared to Long Ling's fawning manner, she seems somewhat marginal.

As Yunran watched, she inexplicably felt that this scene was very familiar.

So, that's why so many people gritted their teeth when they saw their junior uncle backing them up.
"This is my junior uncle!"

Long Ling immediately started acting like a rogue: "Don't forget, you were the one who forced me to sign the symbiotic contract."

I'm a stickler for principles. Even if the contract is dissolved now, it doesn't change the fact that we were always on the same side!

Only a fool would try to latch onto someone's coattails and then let go.

Yunran: ...

That damned dragon spirit stole her lines!

There was a "click".

The sphere of light that was trapping Long Yuan suddenly left through a gap.

Junior Uncle looked at Long Ling: "The time has come. You focus on the fusion, and I will protect you!"
