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

Chapter 740 New Discovery (2 Updates)
Ren Shenguo quickly understood Yun Ran's meaning.

Both the Special Administration Bureau and the host are upright individuals with many things to consider.

With so many tourists here, they definitely won't do anything.

They even handle things here with extreme care to ensure the safety of the tourists.

But those old monsters are a different story. They have no scruples whatsoever; being both righteous and evil is considered a good assessment.

Some old monsters are purely evil. They will never hesitate to harm even their own descendants if it benefits them.

Having spent quite some time with Yun Ran, Ginseng Fruit had seen a lot. Just thinking about those people's methods made him shudder.

Before Yunran came into this world, Qingfeng Temple had already captured a cruel fellow.

That person possessed some kind of evil magic that allowed him to devour the life force of his own bloodline, thus preserving his youth and allowing him to enjoy worldly riches.

In order to prevent anyone from noticing something amiss in their home, the man pretended to be a victim.

They announced to the public that their family was cursed, and that most of their descendants died tragically at a very young age.

If it weren't for the fact that later, one of the descendants of that family formed a connection with the people of Qingfeng Temple.

He invited people from Qingfeng Temple to his home; that secret will probably never be discovered by anyone in his lifetime.

No one could have imagined that the ancestor of that family would devour one of his own bloodlines every ten years.

Every thirty years, he would re-possess the head of the family, thus achieving a kind of immortality.

That family was treated like containers, kept and cared for.

The thought that there were not just one or two such people, but a whole group, made the ginseng fruit admire its host. How could it not be impressive that it dared to use these people?

These people are bad, but if used properly, they can achieve twice the result with half the effort.

"Host, do you think He Tu and the others will come?"

"They'll come as long as they can move!"

Renshenguo frowned. Although he also disliked He Tu, He Tu had clearly sided with them on several occasions before.

Yunran stopped abruptly and patted the ginseng fruit's head.

"People have many facets. On the one side you see, He Tu has a lot of goodwill towards me, but how do you know that he must be a good person?"
If he easily won me over the first time we met, do you think he would still have a kind side?

No, he will only turn me into one of his many blood pills. When a person is strong enough, the people around him will subconsciously show their good side.

But when faced with benefits, especially those that are irresistible, even saints will reveal their evil side.

In the future, you can't be so one-sided in your judgment of a person. Whether they are good or bad, you must always have a certain degree of vigilance!

Ginseng fruit: ...

Being a person is so complicated. Why do I suddenly feel like I don't want to be a person anymore?

While Renshenguo was still sighing, Yunran had already strode forward, and he could only hurriedly jog to catch up.

The two quickly returned to the main road they had taken down the mountain.

Although they were covered in moisture and looked quite disheveled, the people coming down the mountain didn't notice their condition at all.

On the other side, Xuan Chu finally found a place where no one could notice him.

He sat down directly on the ground, trying to find out if anyone here had used the power from the forbidden book of Tiandao Village. He learned that the azure dragon that Rong Gu had taken away was the guardian dragon spirit of this place.

He suspected that the other guardian dragon spirits and the Heavenly Book here might be related to Tiandao Village.

Yun Ran clearly saw through his plan and, in order to save face for their Heavenly Dao Village, subtly dispersed all of them.

At this moment, Xuan Chu probably understood why Yun Ran sometimes seemed like a complete brat, yet Qingfeng Temple made her the young master.

A person with ability, shrewdness, vision, and a sense of justice—who else but her should be the young master?

As for Yunran's little quirks, they are all harmless.

Thinking about this, Xuan Chu finally understood why his master had agreed with a smile when Uncle Yan asked him to be Yun Ran's bodyguard for three years.

It seems that Master also felt that as the future Great Elder of Tiandao Village, he would benefit more from training alongside Yun Ran than from training alone.

Various thoughts flashed through Xuan Chu's mind, then quickly disappeared, calming him down.

Xuan Chu closed his eyes briefly, and when he opened them again, his hands were already forming a hand seal, and he was bathed in an environment where sunlight and water mist intertwined.

Several beams of light of different colors suddenly surrounded that upright figure.

Even if someone saw this scene, they would think that it must be similar to the reason why rainbows are formed.

In reality, this was Xuan Chu using a secret technique from their Heavenly Dao Village.

"puff!"

The light surrounding Xuan Chu suddenly disappeared.

His face turned pale in an instant, and he looked like someone who had just recovered from a serious illness.

A cold glint flashed in Xuan Chu's eyes as he wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, despite the excruciating pain in his chest.

But his body didn't sway at all, and he stood up directly.

"As expected, the forbidden techniques from the forbidden book were used here. No wonder they were able to suppress the Heavenly Book's counterattack."

Xuan Chu immediately took out a communication talisman from his person: "Master, we have found clues about the person who stole the forbidden book back then. Come to Wuhuang Mountain immediately!"

The talisman burned rapidly after Xuan Chu finished speaking, turning into a pile of ashes in the blink of an eye.

Xuan Chu glanced coldly at the majestic scenery of Wuhuang Mountain, then turned and left.

Previously, he was just Yun Ran's bodyguard. If Yun Ran wanted the Heavenly Book, he could help her a little, but he wouldn't actively help Yun Ran fight for anything.

But now that this involves forbidden techniques from the forbidden book of Tiandao Village, he must do everything in his power to help Yunran snatch it.

Xuan Chu took out the healing medicine that Yun Ran had given him, ate a few pills, barely suppressing the sharp pain in his chest, and strode towards the place where they had agreed to meet.

At the same time, Gu Yuan, who was in charge of exploring the non-tourist passage, also made some new discoveries.

He immediately checked the duty rosters placed at the protection point.

Every three months, someone comes here to inspect and maintain the relevant equipment.

What should have been a normal occurrence turned out to be a mismatch between the names on the attendance list and the actual names.

This can only mean one thing: there was a problem with the personnel who came to inspect it.
