Chapter 184: 183 How can the head of the Yun Family be such a waste! (2 more updates)

Yun Ran propped her legs up in a relaxed position and lay down to rest. Although her eyes were closed, her mind was working rapidly.

As a member of the Xuan Sect, she valued promises. She had agreed to help Hirano Jiro uncover the cause of his death and would not go back on her word.

Unexpectedly, the clue turned out to involve the very master and disciples they had encountered earlier.

Now she felt a bit of regret, thinking she should not have killed the old monk so quickly.

Something came to her mind, and she hurriedly took out the Magic Artifact that the old monk had turned into scrap metal and checked it carefully.

Looking at the mark on the Magic Artifact, she guessed that this might be a clue as well.

She immediately took out her phone to search, and to her surprise, she actually found the origin of the mark; it was a custom logo exclusively for a famous temple in Yinghua Country.

The temple’s exclusive customization was provided by one of the three great Craftsmen Families in Yinghua Country.

Yun Ran suddenly became intrigued. Hirano Jiro’s ornament was made from reserved clay by a porcelain aristocratic family, and the old monk’s Magic Artifact also came from a Craftsmen Family...

[System, why do I feel a chill down my spine? These families seem quite sinister.]

Yun Ran, knowing more than the Ginsengfruit, especially her encounters with more Evil Cultivators, even knew quite a few sources of Forbidden Techniques.

"In my world, in ancient times, technology was underdeveloped and people’s lives were undervalued in a feudal society.

Many craftsmen, in pursuit of making better items and the ultimate craftsmanship, would sacrifice human lives, sometimes even their own relatives.

Have you heard of the legend of Gan Jiang and Mo Ye? The famous swords passed down through generations were forged with human lives. They believed that sacrificing human lives would spiritually awaken the swords.

There are even people who added animal carcasses when firing pottery, making the items durable for a long time..."

Ginsengfruit: ...

Although it was a system, it truly felt like cursing now. Back in ancient times, people were ignorant and didn’t value human lives.

But what about now? What era is it now? If people still use such methods, that’s the work of Evil Cultivators!

Yun Ran and her companions were enjoying their peaceful moments in the small courtyard, completely unaware that the Xiyeno Family had already caused an uproar trying to capture her.

Meanwhile, Tan Chengbi, working in his studio, listened to his assistant’s report with furrowed brows.

"You’re saying, the Xiyeno Family is actively capturing Lady Yun?"

"Yes, young master. Our people left at the hotel reported that Lady Yun and her companion left the hotel without any signs.

Shortly after, people from the Xiyeno Family arrived furiously. They have not succeeded yet, because Lady Yun and the others are nowhere to be found.

Also, the airport and the shipping company received hints from the Xiyeno Family to arrest her as soon as they spot Lady Yun."

Although Tan Chengbi was not involved in the Helian Family’s choices of proxy agents and investment projects, it didn’t mean he was unaware of certain matters.

"Find out – why did Lady Yun offend the Xiyeno Family to make them react so aggressively?"

The assistant, noticing a hint of disdain and annoyance in his young master’s tone, immediately felt like giving the Xiyeno Family a silent prayer.

Why provoke when everything was fine? The young master’s preferences were very clear: if he liked someone, he would pluck the stars from the sky for them.

But if he disliked someone, well, that person would get a taste of extremely ’small shoes.’

Over the years, there have been people who tried to please the young master but ultimately failed.

Now, a girl that the young master got along so well with was being chased like a dog by the Xiyeno Family.

For their young master, this was a blatant provocation.

As for whether they knew they had offended the young master, it didn’t matter, because the outcome would inevitably involve the young master getting angry and dealing with them severely.

"Also, send someone to find Lady Yun and her group. If found, bring them directly to the Tan Family’s territory. I’d like to see if the Xiyeno Family dares to arrest people on my Tan Family’s turf!"

The person who made their young master speak such words was the first from the Xiyeno Family, and the assistant was curious as to how the Xiyeno Family would end this.

He quickly nodded and then hastened away.

Soon, he found the relevant information. It’s fair to say, for people at their level, information about Yinghua Country was completely open.

If they chose not to inquire, that was one thing, but once they decided to investigate, it was smooth sailing.

Tan Chengbi knew Yun Ran’s identity for a long time, so when he saw that the Xiyeno Family had a feud with Hua Country’s Hai City Yun Family, involving Yun Ran, his expression darkened.

Although these families did not engage in business, only involved in major capital from behind the scenes, it didn’t mean he couldn’t understand these matters.

Especially seeing in the documents that Yun Qing betrayed from within and negotiated benefits with the Xiyeno Family while imprisoned.

Tan Chengbi felt his stomach burning with rage.

"How can the head of the Yun Family be so incompetent! Not only failing to manage their own daughter, but also dragging an innocent stepdaughter into this!"

Seeing the young master getting angry, the assistant quickly instructed someone to find people.

It gradually grew dark. Yun Ran, in the small courtyard, performed a set of Tai Chi, just finishing her routine.

The Little Paperman she sent to monitor the ’living dead’ person on the airplane finally sent back a message.

That person was a follower of the Evil God, willingly sacrificing everything, including the lives of his entire family.

Originally on the airplane, he wanted everyone onboard to be subdued by the power of the Evil God, but unfortunately, he ran into Yun Ran and her group.

The little bit of Evil God’s power on him was completely locked down by Yun Ran, leaving no room for him to act.

Now, his entire family was gone, indeed, along with their closest neighbors.

If not for the Little Paperman, that entire street might have been sacrificed.

The Little Paperman captured the ’Divine Envoy’ released by the Evil God and swallowed it with a gulp, causing its body to suddenly grow several times larger, and its brain functions improved significantly as well.

Previously, it only knew surveillance, but now it also knew to report back to Yun Ran, waiting for her orders.

Yun Ran, speechlessly touching her forehead, had been bitten by the Evil God’s ’Divine Envoy’ before, turning her entire head into a pig’s head.

She had almost forgotten that, and now such an incident occurred again.

Now, Yun Ran was genuinely curious about what the Evil God was really about.

She recalled the Little Paperman, looking at it transformed into the second self-growing ’Magic Artifact’.

Yun Ran’s speechlessness eased a bit.

However, her Little Paperman had eaten two ’Divine Envoys’ from the Evil God. She guessed that the guy must be jumping mad now since ’Divine Envoys’ are not so easy to cultivate.
