Chapter 501 - 500: Do More Good Deeds
After taking a break, Yun Ran planned to go over to the Luo Family to collect the final payment.
Ginsengfruit had already packed his things early, a small figure carrying a bag filled with Yun Ran’s favorite snacks.
Yun Ran walked to the door, unable to resist asking directly, "Why are you being so considerate all of a sudden?"
Ginsengfruit chuckled, "Host, these past few days, I’ve been learning from the Gold Medal Housekeeper~"
As he spoke, his tiny frame puffed up with pride.
Yun Ran just found it amusing, not understanding what Ginsengfruit was so proud about.
"Why did you suddenly start learning this stuff?"
Ginsengfruit answered confidently, "Aren’t we about to establish Qingfeng Temple? We’re no longer a fly-by-night operation.
Host, you’re always uninterested in managing things, so I have to take on these miscellaneous tasks..."
Seeing Ginsengfruit getting more enthusiastic, Yun Ran immediately raised a hand to stop him, "Alright, just manage it yourself."
Ginsengfruit felt a bit annoyed as he hadn’t gotten to the main point before the host interrupted him.
The Gold Medal Housekeeper taught not only how to do things but also how to subtly take credit for oneself.
Ah, such a good opportunity wasted.
Once again arriving at the Luo Family’s alleyway, the previous uncomfortable aura had disappeared.
Ginsengfruit stepped forward and knocked on the door.
The same rather shabby-looking old man came to open it.
Upon seeing the folks at the manor’s entrance, his expression visibly filled with delight.
"Master Yun, you’re back~"
When the shabby old man spoke, his tone contained a cautious flattery.
Clearly, they also knew that the trouble that almost wiped out the Luo Family had been resolved.
"Please come in!"
The shabby old man bent slightly, standing sideways at the door, gesturing for Yun Ran and Ginsengfruit to enter.
With no longer any death energy or evil energy tainting it, the aura of this manor was now wrapped in vitality, making anyone envy its feng shui.
If the original owner of the house hadn’t squandered their fortune, such a homely and accommodating house would never have circulated in the market.
"The master’s health is much better, and the madam and the young miss and young master have also returned to recuperate. The doctor says barring any mishaps, they will be fully recovered in one or two years."
Even the doctor found it miraculous, but only their Luo family knew that they truly encountered a great person.
Despite spending an exorbitant cost, they were extremely grateful.
After escorting Yun Ran to the reception hall, the shabby old man informed Luo Rusheng.
Yun Ran had just sat down and taken a sip of water when Luo Rusheng arrived with his son and daughter.
If his wife weren’t still incapacitated, looking particularly haggard, he would have brought her along to see Yun Ran.
"Master Yun, you’ve returned; you’ve really worked hard."
Saying this, he handed over a cash cheque that he had prepared early.
Yun Ran liked people who were straightforward. Ginsengfruit stepped forward to take the cheque, glanced at it, then tucked it into his pocket.
"Xiaodong, Ling’er, come and thank Master. If not for the great matter, our family might have reunited in the Underworld."
The two children, not very old, had met Yun Ran once before. Now, they felt no unfamiliarity.
After experiencing that disaster, they had visibly matured, losing their previous childishness.
Upon hearing their father’s words, they immediately knelt respectfully and bowed to Yun Ran.
Their movements were so quick that Yun Ran hadn’t even reacted.
"This... there’s no need for such a grand gesture. I am merely taking compensation to ward off the calamity."
Ginsengfruit had already stepped forward to help the two of them up.
Despite Ginsengfruit appearing at least a head shorter than these two kids, he easily helped them up, one in each hand.
Seeing this, Luo Family father and sons clicked their tongues in amazement.
"Worthy of being Master Yun’s protégé, so extraordinary at such a young age."
Ginsengfruit had been praised before but couldn’t help grinning foolishly.
Luo Rusheng had matters to discuss with Yun Ran, so he glanced at his two children.
"You two go play for now. I have matters to discuss with Master Yun."
The two children respectfully withdrew; Luo Rusheng then produced a palm-sized box.
"Master Yun, it’s a small token, not enough to show our respect."
Yun Ran had always been transparent about fees and had already received the final payment, so naturally, she shouldn’t accept any gratitude gifts.
Instantly, she refused, "No need for courtesy. I’ve already received what I deserved."
Luo Rusheng, however, still pushed the box in front of Yun Ran, "I know, Master Yun, you’re of high moral standing. But you don’t understand the torment our family has endured these past two years.
Nor can you feel how grateful we are to you. Just a little money cannot express our gratitude to you.
This is something my grandfather unintentionally acquired years ago and has been kept in the family storeroom.
Although considered a treasure, it isn’t of much use to ordinary people like us."
His words managed to arouse Yun Ran’s curiosity.
She reached out and opened the box, finding a Shariputra lying quietly inside.
Yun Ran suddenly lifted her head, looking at him with some surprise.
Many things she had previously overlooked now finally had an explanation.
She thought as much; the Luo Family really had something after surviving until now.
This Shariputra appeared quite dim, likely spent considerable power before.
Yun Ran reached out, gently stroking the surface, instantly clearing away the dimness on it.
"You should keep this. It can protect you when necessary. I am Xuanmen, not lacking such things."
Luo Rusheng truly wanted to give the Shariputra to Yun Ran, believing such treasures could only unleash their true value in the hands of capable individuals.
Keeping such things with ordinary folks like them would only be waste.
But he never expected Master Yun not only refused but also cleaned the previous dimness off the Shariputra.
Though he knew nothing, Luo Rusheng could clearly see with good eyes that the Shariputra now seemed to radiate a soft glow.
"The previous troubles in the Luo Family have been fundamentally resolved; you can lead good lives from now on."
The time was almost up; Yun Ran planned to leave.
Standing up, she glanced at Luo Rusheng, adding, "If you indeed feel grateful towards me, then do more good deeds in the future."
Ginsengfruit had already packed his things early, a small figure carrying a bag filled with Yun Ran’s favorite snacks.
