Chapter 159: 158 The New Wave in the Yangtze River Pushes the Old Wave (2 more updates)

The Gu Family members, sleeplessly and tirelessly, searched for a way to open the Ghost World.

Even Ling Buqu and the other two, who had been captured, were interrogated once, but unfortunately, to no avail.

Gu Yuan’s eyes were bloodshot, completely disregarding that his body had also been eroded by Evil Energy in the Ghost World, showing no intention of giving up until a solution was found.

Others looked at Gu Yuan, who seemed to be on the verge of madness, and couldn’t help but shake their heads.

Xie Xuzhi, on the other hand, was the calmest of them all. He didn’t believe that Yun Ran was someone who would recklessly sacrifice herself to protect others without any preparation.

At this moment, the Little Paperman flashed and appeared in front of Xie Xuzhi.

Xie Xuzhi’s lips curled into a slight smile. He knew that Yun Ran dared to stay behind because she had the ability to come out. He only needed to deal with the people he had to deal with.

Hearing from the Little Paperman that Yun Ran was now tired and hungry, with her phone out of battery, Xie Xuzhi rarely felt a twinge of heartache.

After all, she was just a young girl, even if very capable, she was still flesh and blood. She had truly suffered.

He had a helicopter prepared, personally leading people to pick Yun Ran up, while also preparing a lot of food, all of Yun Ran’s favorites.

The Gu Family learned that Yun Ran had quietly returned from the Ghost World, and everyone’s expressions were somewhat complex.

"It is indeed the world of the young now, with the waves of the Yangtze River pushing each other forward."

Old Master Gu looked at Gu Yuan and sighed, "You owe Yun Ran a life, the Gu Family has already prepared many things, deliver them personally as a gesture of thanks."

Compared to before, the Gu Family clearly wanted to take a neutral stance. Now, the Gu Family’s attitude towards Yun Ran was much warmer, and Gu Yuan rarely did not retort.

Under the guidance of the Little Paperman, the helicopter quickly found the place where Yun Ran was.

From afar, Xie Xuzhi saw Yun Ran meditating and inexplicably felt that she would definitely have a place in the Xuan Sect in the future.

[Host, the food has arrived!]

Yun Ran slowly opened her eyes, looking at the approaching helicopter, quickly standing up. In just this short time, she felt like she had lost weight.

A rope ladder was lowered, and Yun Ran, agile as a monkey, climbed up in no time.

Seeing Xie Xuzhi here didn’t surprise Yun Ran. She had sent the Little Paperman to deliver a message just to show off her achievements in front of Xie Xuzhi.

Having ability was one thing, but letting the superiors know you had done real work was another.

"This is your compensation~"

Taking the Supreme Black Card handed over by Xie Xuzhi, Yun Ran accepted it with a smile. She deserved it.

She liked working with people like Xie Xuzhi. After working, he genuinely offered benefits, without any scheming. Where could one find such a divine superior?

"Then I won’t be polite. By the way, I previously destroyed Ling Buqu and the others, and the people behind them are very likely those who specifically stole Qi Fortune before."

"The Special Administration Bureau has specific personnel investigating this matter. Moreover, I have already had the Zhao Family handled. Later, I will have the Zhao Family provide you with extra compensation."

Now, Yun Ran only felt as if gold coins were jingling in her ears. She was more than willing to take on such gold-coin-yielding tasks in the future.

After sending Yun Ran back to the hotel, the tense atmosphere in Huannan slightly eased, but only for those families with clean backgrounds.

Many families with good relations with Ling Buqu were thoroughly investigated, and any unclear area would be closely monitored by the Special Administration Bureau.

Yun Ran slept for two whole days, and upon waking up, received a call from Gu Yuan, who brought a lot of nice things to see her.

Seeing that the Evil Energy on Gu Yuan had been completely eradicated, Yun Ran gained new insights into the Gu Family’s foundation.

"Thank you for this time, no need for much talk, if you need anything in the future, just find me!"

If Gu Yuan hadn’t risked the deadly tribulation to help him, Yun Ran also wouldn’t have used nearly half of her Merit to save him.

"I’m very good at fortune-telling. In the future, don’t hold any lucky thoughts about my divination."

Gu Yuan didn’t think this deadly tribulation was because of Yun Ran. A deadly tribulation was fated and inescapable anyway.

Even without this incident, another one would have happened, it just coincidentally clashed with what happened with Yun Ran.

He was lucky to have encountered Yun Ran; otherwise, he would most likely be dead now.

"What backlash did you suffer? The Gu Family still has many treasures..."

A deadly tribulation isn’t easily resolved, especially one that offers no chance of survival.

The Heavenly Dao didn’t leave him any vitality, but he was saved, which meant the person who bore the tribulation for him must face consequences.

Yun Ran wasn’t the type to endure hardships without speaking up.

Hearing Gu Yuan’s words, she immediately executed a Magic Spell, revealing a large black "Slay" character on her forehead.

"Ten Thousand Ghosts Hunting Order!"

Sitting across from Yun Ran, Gu Yuan stood up abruptly, disbelief filling his eyes.

When the "Slay" character appeared, a familiar Evil Energy also emanated.

As someone from the Xuan Sect, Gu Yuan naturally understood the power of the "Slay" character.

The shock and unyielded astonishment on Gu Yuan’s face made Yun Ran roll her eyes.

"For a Xuanmen person, you sure are easily surprised!"

Saying so, Yun Ran drew her two fingers together, swiped her forehead, and the black "Slay" character immediately disappeared, along with the dissipating Evil Energy.

Gu Yuan opened his mouth, wanting to say that it’s not really surprising. If an ordinary person were marked like this, they’d definitely be devoured by ten thousand ghosts.

But Yun Ran acted as if nothing happened; for the first time, he felt words couldn’t describe his feelings.

In the end, after much thought, all he said was, "I’ll return and gather more Magic Artifacts for warding off ghosts and evil spirits for you."

After Gu Yuan left, Taoist Xia came to visit.

Seeing him restored to his blind old man appearance, Yun Ran couldn’t help but jab, "Now I know why you’re a virgin!"

Taoist Xia: ...

They say not to expose people’s shortcomings, and not to hit someone’s face when beating them up, yet this little girl’s words were just so harsh!

"You don’t understand a thing!"

"Ha, indeed I don’t, but why are you here? If it’s good news, come in; if it’s bad news, get it over with!"

Having shared life-and-death experiences with Yun Ran before, Taoist Xia directly ignored the unwelcoming look on Yun Ran’s face.

"Of course, there’s good news. I have reliable information that Nine Yang Grass is going to be auctioned in Yinghua Country next door. I’m short on money, could you lend me some~"
