Chapter 517 - 516: Even Blood Brothers Have to Settle Accounts Clearly

Yun Ran over here, seeing the Mountain Suppressing Array finally stabilize, breathed a sigh of relief.
Once her body finally recovered a bit, she took out a pill bottle and, without looking, poured the entire contents into her mouth.
Suddenly, Yun Ran looked up towards her three o’clock direction, and a familiar aura directly breached the Mountain Suppressing Array.
This aura carried a potent force of suppression, causing the Little Paperman to feel inexplicably intimidated and instinctively wanting to withdraw.
Yet a smile emerged on Yun Ran’s face.
Unexpectedly, the ancestral lineage of Qingfeng Temple, once established in this small world, allowed her little uncle’s Spirit Puppet, previously suppressed and excluded by the Heavenly Dao, to become a ’legal resident’.
At that time, the Spirit Puppet was torn apart with some lost consciousness.
The scattered spirits found their way here under the guidance of the Qingfeng Temple’s lineage.
Yun Ran quickly took out a Jade Pendant specifically for nurturing Spiritual Souls, directly collecting the remains of the Spirit Puppet’s soul into it.
"Once little uncle’s Spirit Puppet emerges from the Twin Formation, it should not be affected anymore."
In this way, a day’s time was consumed, and Yun Ran put the Jade Pendant into her bag to continue nurturing it.
After a simple tidying, she was ready to head back. The most important Mountain Suppressing Array was completed, making the remaining tasks easier.
As Yun Ran exited the gates of Qingfeng Temple, the driver Old Liu was already waiting respectfully.
Although he was not part of the Xuan Sect, he had once lived on the edge, his senses finely attuned to sudden environmental changes and danger.
Just earlier, he distinctly sensed a new comforting aura in the vicinity.
Without needing to think, he understood that this was undoubtedly the work of the lady, to be able to singlehandedly change the aura of an entire environment, her power was beyond extraordinary.
Old Liu’s gaze lightly passed over the young man who had previously been gravely injured and unconscious; he was clearly aware of the shock and terror he had earlier seen in his eyes.
In his heart, the man’s identity was almost self-evident, he was certainly someone from the Xuan Sect.
The young man saw the gates of Qingfeng Temple open and quickly approached, even though he was seriously injured, it did not stop him from gracefully kneeling on one knee.
"Asheng pays his respects to the young lady!"
Yun Ran did not immediately tell him to rise, instead looked down at Asheng.
As Yun Ran remained silent, Old Liu naturally didn’t dare to speak, rendering the entire scene remarkably quiet.
As the atmosphere became somewhat tense, Asheng felt his heart lift.
Yun Ran suddenly chuckled softly, "Speak, what brings you to me?"
At this moment, to claim he was found by accident on the road would truly be a blatant lie.
Asheng became even more nervous, not anticipating the young lady’s presence to be even more overwhelming than before, causing an involuntary tremble of the heart.
Suppressing his inner fear, Asheng finally spoke, "Young lady, we are in trouble, the other party’s strength is enough to crush us... our power in Hai City is insufficient..."
"So, you came to me hoping I’d help you?"
Asheng immediately felt even more ashamed, bowing his head even lower.
Over the years, they had provided no assistance to the young lady; the young lady had not recognized them either and had hardly any dealings with them.
Now, in trouble, they resorted to seeking help from the young lady.
Yun Ran had already pointed it out, forcing Asheng to nod his head with difficulty, "Yes..."
Old Liu focused intently on his role as part of the backdrop, at this moment feeling a sensation as if the lady was being taken advantage of by ’poor relatives’ clinging to her.
"What makes you think I would help you?"
If the biological father of this body turned out to be similarly foolish, thinking that just because he fathered the original owner, he could use her as a stepping stone, hehe~
She’s willing to help others due to her character, but should anyone presume to seek her solely based on certain relations, Yun Ran would not indulge them.
Yun Ran’s aloofness and indifference were within Asheng’s expectation; now, the situation was already much better than he had initially thought.
At the very least, the young lady saved him, not simply ignoring him or letting him die by the roadside.
"Young lady, here is our payment for enlisting your help~"
After Yun Ran made a name for herself within the Xuan Sect, the biological father of the original owner, Shen Jun, began to pay attention to her, fully aware of her approach to matters.
Looking at the piece of paper handed to her, with an account number written on it, Yun Ran glanced at it before passing it to Old Liu.
"Check it!"
Old Liu immediately accepted it with both hands, then proceeded to make a phone call.
In such a straightforward verification scenario, Asheng dared not utter any objections.
Old Liu soon returned, "Miss, this is an unregistered account abroad with one billion foreign currency inside."
Yun Ran then looked at Asheng, "Speak, how can I help you."
No matter if this group had any ties to her, even with closer connections, accounts had to be settled clearly.
"We request the young lady’s assistance in rescuing others, there are 12 of us... several have fallen into the hands of the Special Administration Bureau..."
Asheng was the most severely injured, hence pushed forth by others to seek Yun Ran, while the others were covering for him, allowing him to find Yun Ran without being noticed by others.
Yun Ran snapped her fingers, immediately sending out a Little Paperman, "Master~"
"Go find them, and when you’ve found them, bring them back!"
The Little Paperman quickly flew out, and as for those captured by the Special Administration Bureau, Yun Ran thought for a moment and called the previous captain, Shen Zhe.
Shen Zhe had just dozed off, but upon hearing the phone ring, his eyes immediately opened without a trace of weariness.
However, upon seeing it was Yun Ran’s call, Shen Zhe was slightly surprised.
Those who had been suppressed under Xie Xuzhi’s command previously, after Xie Xuzhi became the head of the Special Administration Bureau, had all ascended thanks to their abilities and integrity.
He had thought Yun Ran would soon return to join them in the battle, even if she rose above him, he had no objections.
Yet he didn’t expect Yun Ran to never return to the Special Administration Bureau, back then, Shen Zhe had even approached their former leader to seek fairness for Yun Ran.
Only later did he find out that Yun Ran intended to establish her own path.
Now, receiving a call from Yun Ran again, warmth filled Shen Zhe’s eyes, his voice involuntarily carrying a hint of laughter.
"You finally have time to call me~"
After a brief chat, Yun Ran went straight to the point, given that they were once comrades through life and death, they were like their own people.
"I have a few acquaintances caught by the Special Administration Bureau, I vouch for them, can they be released?"
Had anyone else made this request, Shen Zhe might have said: Are you serious!!!
But Yun Ran speaking, Shen Zhe, without hesitation, responded, "With you vouching, of course, it’s possible, I’ll call them immediately to have them released."
