Chapter 1365 - 1361: Wait a Little Longer!
No wonder every calculation about Yun Ran before was blank.
If matters regarding Yun Ran’s life line could be easily deduced, it would be meaningless to ensure those final moves remained undetected.
Elder Qing Yangzi just pondered for a moment and was convinced that Yun Ran must have used secretive methods even he couldn’t uncover.
A second ago, Elder Qing Yangzi was upset about the escape route being destroyed; the next moment, a gratifying smile instantly spread across his face.
"Good girl, you did Qingfeng Temple proud!"
After expressing this sentiment, Elder Qing Yangzi’s figure once again turned into blue smoke and disappeared, continuing to monitor the part they were responsible for.
Within the Dream Realm, Yun Ran remained unaware that history’s progression was gradually diverging.
She boldly walked out of the stronghold, and throughout the process, not a single person jumped out to block her.
There were even people who, upon bumping into Yun Ran, quickly backed away several steps, giving way, fearing they might confront Yun Ran.
Just as she reached the corner of the alley, she saw someone secretively waving to her.
Yun Ran ignored it and continued walking. That person had no choice but to come out from the corner and jogged to catch up with Yun Ran.
When the person got closer, Yun Ran finally saw clearly that the one waving at her was the Mei Family Head.
"Why are you blocking me?"
Master Mei probably didn’t expect Yun Ran to show such a friendly attitude towards him, quickly flashing a look of relief across his face.
"Well, Fellow Daoist Yun, about the previous matter..."
Master Mei originally intended to say that the trouble at the stronghold wasn’t really related to the Mei Family; he was simply there to make up the numbers.
If not for the special status of the Mei Family in Mei City, he wouldn’t even have shown his face.
Yun Ran looked at the person in front of her, with his hands slightly uneasily clasped together, appearing keen to clear himself.
She raised her hand to interrupt him: "I know!"
Master Mei’s eyes suddenly glowed, his previous anxious expression turning into joy.
He really wanted to ask Yun Ran why she believed him, but the words were swallowed back.
"Alright, I have things to do, you should carry on with yours!"
Master Mei didn’t dare to block Yun Ran, only hastily added, "Mei Wu has been sent out on a mission, and won’t be back for some time; he doesn’t know about this."
Mei Wu, the guy previously countered by Yun Ran’s Puppetry Technique, was later set free by Yun Ran.
Yun Ran glanced sideways at Master Mei; she wore a mask, so no one could see her expression.
Yet just a single look made Master Mei feel all his hairs stand on end with unease.
He didn’t want to say more unnecessary words, but was inherently somewhat afraid of this young woman who appeared out of nowhere.
Even if he couldn’t form a good relationship, he definitely couldn’t make her an enemy.
That’s why he took the risk to actively explain to Yun Ran.
He even brought up Mei Wu, who had some rapport with Yun Ran before, despite Mei Wu not being around.
Unfortunately, since Mei Wu wasn’t there, he had to come personally, feeling anxious all along.
Yun Ran understood why Master Mei mentioned Mei Wu; those in the family head’s position often have dirty minds!
She didn’t want to waste time on these trivial matters.
She immediately defined the tone: "Relax, I’m a person who distinguishes between gratitude and grievances. As long as the Mei Family doesn’t stab me in the back, I won’t hold you accountable for this matter!"
Master Mei immediately breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly stepped aside to make way, fearing to delay Yun Ran’s important business.
Yun Ran’s big red cloak should have been very conspicuous, but upon entering the crowd, she seemed to merge with everyone instantly, becoming indistinguishable.
The Young Prince’s confidant couldn’t even follow her half a street before losing track of Yun Ran.
In the end, he could only return in dejection to report.
The Young Prince had already suffered a substantial loss over at Dragon Spirit.
Now, hearing this news, he couldn’t suppress the gloom in his chest.
Since he could remember, everything always went smoothly for him, but now he’s been harshly humiliated.
The Bald Monk moved the Buddha Beads in his hand, his expression as calm as water, not surprised by this outcome.
The Young Prince sighed, waved his hand, and the subordinate kneeling in front of them immediately retreated.
In the room, only the three of them remained.
The Young Prince, looking at the silent Azure Dragon and Bald Monk, held back for a while but couldn’t finally restrain himself.
"We have no way to deal with that person now, are we really going to be blackmailed by her?"
He wasn’t exactly unwilling to give up those benefits.
Whether it’s the Divine Hall or the Royal Family, their foundations are deep; even if they forfeit all the benefit of this round, they wouldn’t feel distressed.
It’s just because of their identity, if they give up the bulk of the benefits, their face would be trampled on the ground.
"Wait a little longer!"
Finally, Azure Dragon spoke decisively, but what he was waiting for, perhaps only he knew.
Yun Ran soon found the place where Ginsengfruit and Er Dan had settled.
Along the way, she only applied some Ignore Talismans on herself, without deliberately hiding her tracks.
If those tracking her were Azure Dragon or the Bald Monk, they indeed wouldn’t lose her.
But who told those two to be concerned about their reputation?
"Host!"
"Yo, woman, you finally came~"
Ginsengfruit and Er Dan spoke at the same time.
Yun Ran’s body momentarily paused, as if she heard something unbelievable.
Even Ginsengfruit showed a collapsed expression, clearly also shocked by Er Dan’s greasy words.
Ginsengfruit recklessly gripped Er Dan’s neck, shaking it vigorously.
"Damn it, what exactly have you learned!!"
Er Dan felt like its brains were about to be shaken evenly, hallucinations appeared, and its wings began flapping uncontrollably, trying to break free from Ginsengfruit’s hand.
But no matter how strong it was, it was just a young cub, and against Ginsengfruit’s puppet body, it was clearly futile.
"Let... me go..."
Ginsengfruit now just wanted to prove his innocence; these nonsensical words had nothing to do with him!
While shaking Er Dan’s neck with force, he turned his head to explain to Yun Ran: "Host, this was absolutely not taught by me."
Yun Ran held her forehead, realizing that keeping Er Dan with her in the first place was a foolish decision.
"Alright, everyone calm down!"
Although proving his innocence was important, the host’s request was even more crucial.
Ginsengfruit immediately released Er Dan’s neck, but his gaze still fiercely glared at Er Dan.
