This time in retreat, overall, Yun Ran was quite satisfied.
Under the pressure of gravity, her body underwent the refining of the Merit Golden Light, and the effects were multiplied several times over.
Not to mention, in the end, she had a good sleep here, and the depletion from refining her body was compensated by the hot spring and the vitality here.
This place is indeed very good, even if she didn’t leave, the people here wouldn’t chase her out, but Yun Ran isn’t the type to take advantage and never let go.
The series of free services provided by them is all aimed at marketing their medicine later.
She didn’t plan to buy the medicine here, enjoyed part of the service, and knew when to stop, otherwise, she would be disliked.
"It’s time for us to head back now!"
The staff member who served Yun Ran previously was still standing as straight as ever at the door.
Yun Ran didn’t make any purchases, but still, they greeted her with a smile, showing no sign of discontent because of Yun Ran’s ’freeloading’.
Just for this, Yun Ran felt they deserved to earn the money from the medicine.
"Lady Yun, are you heading back? Do you need us to arrange a special car for you? It’s also free~"
They ask instead of arranging it proactively because they’re afraid of infringing on the guest’s privacy, as the address is also a form of privacy.
"Okay, then arrange a car to take me to the hotel."
"Alright, it will be arranged for you~"
Perhaps it was the staff’s genuine smile that softened Yun Ran’s usually stingy heart, who occasionally enjoyed freeloading.
She looked at Ginsengfruit and said, "Give him a tip."
"Thank you, Lady Yun."
The tip was, compared to the commission from the medicine, practically nothing, but it was an acknowledgment of him, making the staff’s smile all the more sincere.
When leaving, Yun Ran got into a luxury car worth over ten million, with a driver who was 188cm tall, his legs longer than his life.
This level of extravagance and service left Yun Ran a bit dizzy, making her almost want to rush back and say she’d buy the medicine.
Luckily, she got enough beatings from her little uncle and was fleeced enough by other uncles, junior brothers, and sisters to form a habit of ’frugality’.
After getting off the car, the driver gave Yun Ran a big gift bag, containing food and quite a few medicines, without saying an extra word.
"Goodbye, Lady Yun~"
Even after Yun Ran entered the hotel lobby, the driver hadn’t left and was still seeing her off.
After approaching the elevator, Yun Ran rubbed her arms: "The ’bad guys’ these days are really many, trying every way to get the few bucks I have left!"
It’s not just a few bucks nowadays, just building Qingfeng Temple almost drained her.
If she were the one holding billions previously, today, she’d find it hard not to spend.
"Ginsengfruit, in the future, when you become the Grand Steward of Qingfeng Temple, you must hold the money tightly, understand?"
There’s no choice, when she’s stingy, she’s really stingy, but when she splurges, she really splurges.
Otherwise, despite working so hard to earn resources back then, she was still broke in the end, wasn’t it all because she was too loose-handed.
Seeing the Host speaking so earnestly, Ginsengfruit seriously nodded: "Rest assured, Host, with me in charge, there’ll definitely be no problem!"
If necessary, he could act like a Pixiu, only taking in but not letting out; after all, he could survive without eating or drinking.
Back at the hotel, after her phone was fully charged and turned on, Yun Ran saw over 99 messages left by Gu Yuan.
Yun Ran: ...
Gu Yuan, who was forced to ’wander’ outside, waited ten days without hearing back from Yun Ran, and despite knowing Yun Ran wasn’t in danger, was still very worried.
At this point, just finished with work, preparing to leave another message for Yun Ran, he saw on his phone that Yun Ran sent a video call invitation.
Gu Yuan’s face immediately broke into a smile and he hurriedly answered the video: "Ranran, you’re finally back!"
Seeing the background obviously not belonging to the Capital City, Yun Ran curiously asked: "Where did you go?"
Can’t blame her for not knowing, each of Gu Yuan’s messages is a 60-second long voice, with over 99 of them, she really didn’t have the patience to listen to them one by one.
This way, a direct video call can handle everything that needs to be said.
Gu Yuan didn’t think Yun Ran was in any way wrong for asking like this, nor did he think that her not reading his messages showed any disrespect.
He quickly adjusted the camera to let Yun Ran see the distant mountains.
The place they are in now is a very small town, surrounded by mountains on all sides.
To leave here by car takes more than ten hours to see another town.
"I was sent out to inspect, if this were ancient times, I’d completely be like a royal inspector~"
From his tone, Yun Ran could hear Gu Yuan’s smugness, clearly having no complaints or dissatisfaction about being out on inspection.
Maybe it’s because it’s far from populated areas and free of industrial pollution, the stars here at night are exceptionally bright.
Through the video, Yun Ran could clearly see the distant mountains; although it was just an outline, it was much better than big cities or industrial cities.
"By the way, your Qingfeng Temple is already built. I previously gave a stern talk to the logistics department people, and those who were eyeing it were all stopped by them.
I had my uncle calculate a good date, the sixth of next month is excellent, and already had someone prepare for the temple-opening ceremony in advance.
We’re just waiting for you to come back and confirm the guest list for the banquet. By then, you will be the temple master of Qingfeng Temple, able to stand on equal footing with other Family Heads of the Mystical Sect..."
It obviously had nothing to do with Gu Yuan, but he went on and on for half an hour, all about various arrangements for Qingfeng Temple’s establishment.
Yun Ran listened, feeling warmth spreading in her heart, even Ginsengfruit was unusually quiet, without the usual behavior of eating to pass the time.
Gu Yuan said everything he thought of, only then asking reluctantly: "Can you see if there’s anything that needs to be added.
Or if your Qingfeng Temple has any taboos, there’s still a month to make adjustments in time."
"You’ve thought it all out thoroughly, thank you~"
"Between you and me, it’s a bond of life and death, saying thank you would be too formal."
Yun Ran truly wasn’t being modest, even she wouldn’t have planned things so well,
With her character, she’d definitely announce the establishment of Qingfeng Temple straightforwardly and then broadly advertise it as done.
She would never have thought things through as thoroughly as Gu Yuan did.
It’s not that she didn’t value it, it’s just that everyone from Qingfeng Temple wasn’t inherently bound by so-called traditions or rules.
