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

Chapter 943 What Happened to Keeping a Low Profile? (2 Updates)
Before, when there was no wind, the leaves of the big trees would sway from time to time, but now that there is wind, the leaves of the big trees seem to be welded shut.

If the tree were a person, it would be drenched in sweat by now.

Just then, the sound of many people entering came from the gate, and Yun Ran's gaze finally shifted away.

The tree breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that this human was truly terrifying; just being looked at by her gave it the feeling that its life was about to end.

A group of people came in, and the old lady was being pulled along, looking anxious, but she couldn't break free no matter what she did.

Even though he knew the house would cause trouble, Ginseng Fruit still hadn't expected it to be this troublesome.

The middle-aged man at the head of the group looked refined, but the arrogance that occasionally emanated from his eyes ruined his overall demeanor.

"Kid, are you the ones who want to rent this place?"

After thinking for a moment, Ginseng Fruit realized he wasn't clear about the situation, so he didn't offer his opinion right away.

He simply nodded.

The middle-aged man naturally noticed that the clothes on the ginseng fruit were not something an ordinary person could wear, whether it was the fabric, the dyeing process, or the style.

"This house is not for rent, you all need to leave now!"

If it weren't for the fact that the group of ginseng fruit people weren't just some nobody, the middle-aged man wouldn't even have spoken properly.

They immediately had the intruders thrown out!

If it were someone else who didn't want to get into trouble, seeing this scene, they might turn around and leave with their people.

After all, someone who can afford three years' rent upfront is definitely not short of money, even though the location and feng shui of this house are both good.

But with so much money, you can rent a place anywhere, so why make yourself unhappy?

The middle-aged man thought he had been very polite, but to his surprise, the ginseng fruit didn't even look at him.

Instead, he looked at the old woman who was being pulled along, her hair and clothes somewhat disheveled.

"Let go of this old lady!"

Ginseng Fruit looked like a young boy, and his voice wasn't forceful, but the person holding the old lady's hand changed after hearing what Ginseng Fruit said.

I felt a strange pang of fear, and then I instinctively let go of the old lady.

Upon seeing this, the middle-aged man frowned immediately, his eyes sweeping over his two subordinates with obvious displeasure.

Their eyes were full of condemnation, as if they were saying, 'Are you all crazy?!'

The old woman was freed, but a trace of fear still lingered in her eyes.

As if she knew it was safe near the ginseng fruit, the old lady instinctively ran towards it.

"This house doesn't belong to him; it's his widowed sister-in-law's dowry!"

These few words alone conveyed the endless suffering contained within.

A knowing glint flashed in Ginseng Fruit's eyes. It seemed that the phrase "eating up the family's entire fortune" was a common occurrence in any era.

Most of the people living in this area know about this.

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man's face flashed with anger, and his tone was filled with a strong threat.

"Outrageous! This house clearly belongs to my nephew. My sister-in-law is getting old and has been instigated by people like you who have bad intentions. She's determined to squander these assets. What are you all up to? As her brother-in-law, what's wrong with me helping to protect my nephew's property?!"

That sounds reasonable.

The current situation is quite a case of both sides having their own version of the truth.

The old lady was clearly a stubborn person. She had been frightened before, but now that she was standing next to the ginseng fruit, she felt safe and was no longer afraid.

She immediately retorted, "If it were your own son, of course there would be no problem, but that son was clearly forced upon Mingyue by you."

They insisted on putting that bastard child, whom they had adopted from who-knows-where, under Mingyue's name, so that they could rightfully seize her dowry.

Mingyue originally intended to leave these things to her biological daughter. You heartless people...

Not only did you marry off Mingyue's daughter haphazardly, but now you're even controlling her when she tries to use the rent money to help her daughter out.

"Hmph, don't think I don't know what you're thinking. You clearly want to force Mingyue and her daughter to their deaths so you can seize this house!"

The person in the know had their mask torn off in front of outsiders.

This made the middle-aged man feel a surge of anger.

If it weren't for the fact that this old lady's niece had married into a wealthy family as a concubine, he would have really wanted to kill this family of meddlesome people!
The middle-aged man, too lazy to argue, looked directly at the ginseng fruit.

"We're not renting this house. You should look for other places to avoid endless trouble later!"

These words, seemingly meant as advice, are actually another form of threat.

Who would willingly face endless trouble when they're living peacefully at home?
Long Ling originally had no intention of getting involved in these trivial matters, but since he was the Dragon King, he felt he had to maintain his dignity.

If he had to manage every little problem, he'd be driven crazy.

But now, it's clear that these people are disturbing Yun Ran's rest and affecting his contemplation of the Dragon Life.

Long Ling's temper was truly unbearable. (It definitely wasn't because he wanted to support his cheap junior apprentice, Ginseng Fruit!)
He immediately walked out from the other side of the corridor.

He stared at the middle-aged man who had made those harsh remarks earlier with a sinister and unfriendly gaze.

"The last person who dared to talk tough to us is long gone, now get out of here right now, in front of all of you!"

A middle-aged man can still calmly face a boy like Ginseng Fruit who hasn't even grown up yet.

However, upon seeing Long Ling and meeting her gaze, the middle-aged man knelt down dramatically.

The middle-aged man had no idea what was happening.

At that moment, he had only one feeling: he felt like he had kicked a hornet's nest!
Long Ling snorted coldly again, then looked at the ginseng fruit: "Why give these bastards such a nice look? Just deal with them directly!"

Ginseng fruit: ...

No, what happened to our agreement to keep a low profile? Is this how you're supposed to be, sir?
They started by intimidating the other person and then called them a scoundrel. This isn't just a threat anymore; it's clearly the last bit of mercy before they kill the other person!
But what could Ginseng Fruit do? He certainly couldn't argue back, given how proud Long Ling was.

Rather than offending Long Ling and suffering the consequences, it's better to shift the trouble onto others.

Having followed his host for so many years, he's done his fair share of things like sacrificing his fellow Daoists to save himself.
