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

Chapter 767 Show off
"You still haven't told me where this thing came from!"

Long Ling carefully put away the bronze jar that had previously contained a lot of water from the deep pool, and shook out the clothes on her body.

Then he slowly said, "You live by the sea? You're really nosy!"

He's the one who truly lives in the sea, okay? He doesn't ask any questions.

No, I'll have to talk to Yunran and Junior Uncle later. It's better to get rid of people like this who like to ask questions as soon as possible.

Xuan Chu had no idea that he had just asked casually, yet Long Ling had already looked down on him from head to toe.

"Okay, okay, I won't ask anymore."

He had originally wanted to ask why Long Ling was storing that underground water, but now he had no such thought at all.

Looking at himself, soaking wet, Xuan Chu felt for the first time that good deeds don't always go unrewarded.

"If you have nothing else to do, I'll head back now. My body isn't as resilient as yours."

Long Ling had originally wanted to rest, but upon hearing Xuan Chu's words, she immediately stood up: "I'll go with you!"

He just lost a phone and is still heartbroken.

If he could stay at Xuan Chu's hotel, his heart would be slightly more at ease.

It wasn't that he was short of money for the hotel; he just felt that he had lost out and he couldn't stand not getting something in return.

Xuan Chu turned around and glanced at Long Ling speechlessly, but he really couldn't bring himself to say anything about not letting Long Ling come along.

Because he cares about his reputation!
Xuan Kong, who was walking in front, completely ignored the words of the two juniors behind him (Long Ling was older but looked younger).

Halfway there, Long Ling suddenly stopped.

Xuan Chu's clothes were completely dry, and his fatigue had dissipated considerably with the morning dew.

If Long Ling were to cause trouble right now, Xuan Chu felt he could barely keep up.

"Yunran has left Wuhuang Mountain!"

Xuan Chu was slightly taken aback by Long Ling's sudden remark; he hadn't even sensed Yun Ran's departure...

But what he was more curious about was how Long Ling knew.

Fortunately, he didn't even need to ask; Long Ling answered his questions directly.

"I've practiced the cultivation technique given to me by my junior uncle, so I'm from the same lineage as Yun Ran. It's only natural that I know where she went."

Xuan Chu strongly suspected that Long Ling was clearly showing off at this moment, showing off his close relationship with Yun Ran.

In reality, Xuan Chu was only half right; Long Ling was indeed showing off.

But more than that, he wasn't showing off his relationship with Yun Ran; he was subtly letting Xuan Chu know that his junior uncle valued him highly.

Don't think he doesn't know that the people of Tiandao Village really want to win over Junior Uncle. Even this guy in front of him has received guidance from Junior Uncle.

However, there is no comparison between people. Junior Uncle only gave Xuan Chu some pointers.

But it was different for him; his junior uncle had taught him a special cultivation technique, showing how close they were.

Xuan Chu had no idea that Long Ling had become so 'outrageous' at this moment, seizing every opportunity to show off her superiority.

His mind was completely focused on Yun Ran: "Why would she leave Wuhuang Mountain for no reason!"

It was Yun Ran who initially suggested coming here to find the Heavenly Book. Even though there are some setbacks here now, he knows Yun Ran well; she is definitely not the kind of person who gives up halfway.

"Let me ask her..."

Xuan Chu was about to take out his phone to call Yun Ran when Long Ling stopped him.

"Don't worry, she definitely has something to do. Anyway, in the end, Yun Ran won't be the one who suffers." Having suffered countless losses at Yun Ran's hands, Long Ling already had experience.

Xuan Chu thought about it and realized that it made sense. He had been too worried before, otherwise he wouldn't have thought of calling Yun Ran.

After reaching an agreement, the two of them, like brothers, headed towards the hotel.

Along the way, we also exchanged our experiences about the things we had encountered before.

As dawn broke, the private guide Yunran had hired was still waiting for them downstairs.

However, when the time came, instead of Yunran, they received a scheduled transfer, the price of which was twice what they had previously agreed upon with Yunran.

The two guides looked at each other in surprise. They hadn't expected that this wealthy person would have the habit of throwing money around.

Even if the other party changes their plans at the last minute and has to cancel, normally a small penalty fee would suffice.

Looking at the money on their phones, the two felt for the first time that the money was burning their hands.

"What should we do? Should we accept the money?"

Another person thought for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "Take it! These rich people won't miss a few bucks anyway."

However, considering how generous they've been, we might as well not sell them our information this time!

The other person thought about it and agreed.

Then the two found a place, split the money, and started looking for other tourists.

The only difference this time was that they didn't actively seek out those information-collecting dealers.

The sun had already risen, but Yunran and the other two, trapped in the cramped space, were still in darkness and sweltering, foul-smelling heat.

Yunran's hair was completely wet and stuck to her scalp.

Although she had shut down her sense of smell, she could feel that she had been marinated in the stench.

Thinking of the great suffering she had endured, Yun Ran immediately directed all her anger at the men in black robes.

This time, if Yunran doesn't skin them alive, she'll feel like she's wasted her trip.

If the car doesn't stop soon, she's really going to faint from the heat.

Xie Xuzhi wasn't much better off. He wasn't someone who couldn't endure hardship, but the kind of hardship he was experiencing now seemed somewhat unnecessary.

The person who is most relaxed is probably the ginseng fruit.

Although he is aware of these external conditions, as long as he deliberately ignores them, the hot and smelly environment has little effect on him.

Xie Xuzhi licked his lips; he was indeed quite thirsty.

A strange heat rose in his heart, and he wished he could be in his villa right now, jump into the pool, and swim back and forth.

Yunran took out a feather fan from her bag in the dark and used it as an ordinary fan to fan herself.

A cool breeze blew in, and the stuffiness in the small space quickly dissipated.

Even the stench had largely dissipated.

Just then, the car stopped.

Xie Xuzhi thought they had arrived at their destination, so he quickly closed his eyes.

Yunran gently patted his shoulder with her fan: "Don't think about it, it's still early. We should have arrived at the inspection area."

Suddenly, as if remembering something, Yun Ran's head twitched toward Xie Xuzhi's side: "Do you think there are any people from your Special Administration Bureau at this roadblock location?"
