Chapter 294: Chapter 293: I Protest! (Part 2)

Yun Ran rolled her eyes dismissively before heading to the first-class lounge.

Seeing Yun Ran’s clear disregard, Xuan Chu withdrew his gaze and took out an old mobile phone to dial a number he hadn’t called in many years.

Soon enough, over a dozen men in suits were running towards him.

The middle-aged man leading them, upon seeing Xuan Chu, bowed deeply at a ninety-degree angle: "Senior Brother~"

The two looked to be at least a generation apart in age, but the reverence in the middle-aged man’s eyes for Xuan Chu was visibly palpable.

"I have entered the secular world; handle the rest."

Xuan Chu’s voice remained cold, but to the middle-aged man, it seemed as though something exploded within him.

The people of Heavenly Dao Village were not isolated from the world like an island.

On the contrary, forces affiliated with Heavenly Dao Village were spread across various places, usually appearing as normal businesses or workplaces.

However, once the people of Heavenly Dao Village entered the secular world, all these affiliated forces, without exception, must be driven by their command.

The middle-aged man’s heart pounded like a drum. The last time someone from Heavenly Dao Village entered the secular world, it was during the great catastrophe of Xuan Sect, and only a solitary child survivor remained in Heavenly Dao Village.

Although there had been minor troubles over the years, with the people of Heavenly Dao Village occasionally emerging, they had never formally entered the secular world.

A very bad premonition suddenly arose in the heart of the middle-aged man, even prompting him to lament continuously.

Why was he so unlucky, not born in a tranquil era? The people of Heavenly Dao Village entering the secular world signified chaos!!!

The peaceful days they desired were likely over.

However, no matter how many thoughts they had internally, they dared not express any opinions. Generation after generation, these people could not betray the people of Heavenly Dao Village.

"Yes, Senior Brother, I will make the arrangements."

Yun Ran was in the VIP room eating instant noodles, finally having pushed aside the troubles that Xuan Chu had previously brought.

Suddenly sensing something, she turned to look at the entrance of the VIP room.

Xuan Chu, still wearing his treasure clothes, appeared gracefully in front of Yun Ran.

"Cough cough cough..."

The spicy flavor of the instant noodles took Yun Ran by surprise, choking her until her entire face turned red.

Ginsengfruit silently twisted open a bottle of water and placed it in front of Yun Ran.

Xuan Chu probably knew he was unwelcome, so he didn’t approach Yun Ran; instead, he silently took his plane ticket voucher and temporary ID and went to sit down in a corner.

"You just won’t go away!"

Ginsengfruit tentatively tugged at Yun Ran: "Host, keep your voice down, I’m afraid he heard you, and he might hold a grudge..."

Yun Ran was not one to have a good temper, nor was she one to hold her feelings back. She immediately stood up and stormed towards Xuan Chu.

With her hands on her hips, she adopted the posture of a shrew: "Do you ever stop? What’s the deal with following me around all the time!"

Xuan Chu remained as unfazed as an old dog, his breath not disturbed in the least: "I have already said..."

Yun Ran took several deep breaths, but still couldn’t suppress the anger in her heart. It had been a long time since anyone had made her feel so stifled.

"Your actions are severely affecting my right to privacy, and also, I do not acknowledge what you said earlier. Isn’t this just a case where you set the rules and you’re the judge too?

Why should I be under your surveillance when I haven’t done anything? This is unfair to me, and I protest!"

Xuan Chu originally wanted to say protests were invalid, but seeing Yun Ran glaring at him ominously, clearly as if she would fight him if he didn’t give a satisfactory explanation...

Yun Ran was already deemed a ’dangerous person,’ and if she were to rebel prematurely because of his actions, it would be a loss beyond recovery.

After some thought, Xuan Chu pulled out a string from around his neck, and a crystal-clear Jade Pendant appeared in front of Yun Ran.

Just one glance, and Yun Ran wanted it; it was indeed a fine item.

With a skillful twist, Xuan Chu snapped the Jade Pendant in two.

He offered half to Yun Ran, "If you are willing to accept constraints, I can stay out of your sight."

Hearing Xuan Chu’s words, the desire that had just arisen in Yun Ran receded like the tide.

She even took two steps back, dread evident in her eyes; she had almost been beguiled by the Jade Pendant.

"You think I’m a fool? This thing is just like Sun Wukong’s Magic Ring, trying to control me. Dream on!"

Yun Ran’s refusal didn’t cause any emotional ripples in Xuan Chu.

Once he was certain that Yun Ran would never accept any constraints, he put the Jade Pendant away and tucked it back into his clothing.

Only then did he state, "Then you’ll have to accept my supervision."

Yun Ran: ...

"Why should I believe you won’t interfere with my affairs? What if you’re tempted by the outside world and harbor ill intentions? How can you assure you won’t seek revenge under the guise of duty!"

Xuan Chu’s brow furrowed slightly, obviously feeling that Yun Ran was being rather aggressive.

He had already offered her a choice. It was she who didn’t want to be monitored nor constrained.

But seeing Yun Ran’s indignant face, it was clear she was looking for an excuse to initiate a conflict.

After several seconds of silence, Xuan Chu ultimately decided to take a step back.

He then produced a crystal-clear glass orb.

"Breathe some of your qi into this; as long as it doesn’t change color, I will never lay a hand on you."

Yun Ran eyed the glass orb with skepticism before taking it, and after verifying that it was indeed just a tester Magic Artifact, she breathed a sigh of relief.

To avoid future trouble, she decided to do as Xuan Chu suggested, on the spot.

However, she also had her own cunning plan and imbued the orb with qi tinged with Merit Golden Light.

Instantly, a glimmer of gold filled the orb, but in an instant, the orb returned to its original transparent state.

This took Yun Ran by surprise.

She hadn’t expected even the Merit Golden Light to fail to cause the tester Magic Artifact to change color.

Had the orb turned gold, she could have counted Xuan Chu out.

What a pity.

"Here, take it back!"

Thinking of something, Yun Ran laughed again, "You want to monitor me at all times, let’s see if you have the ability.

I’m not just anyone. Where I go is not accessible to all. When in the world, you must abide by its rules."

She’d head to Imperial Cauldron Club once she was back and see how this guy would monitor her then.

At this moment, Yun Ran felt that accepting Xie Xuzhi’s offer in the past was indeed a very correct decision.

At least it would spare her the annoyance of certain people constantly appearing before her.

Just the thought of Xuan Chu being intercepted and driven away later made the frustration Yun Ran had felt dissipate.

When she turned to leave, she twisted her head back, raised her eyebrow at Xuan Chu, and there was a hint of schadenfreude in her voice: "Then, see you later. Good luck~"
