Chapter 519 - 518: What Did All That Hiding Mean Before?
Soon, the car stopped, and six people got out.
These were the companions previously mistaken as suspects by the Special Administration Bureau during a mission nearby when they diverted their pursuers.
Shen Zhe personally escorted them, and as he watched them get out, he gave a light reminder.
"Don’t ruin Yun Ran’s guarantee for you. Take care of yourselves!"
After saying this, he ignored them and went straight to find Yun Ran, as they had planned to have a meal together.
The group watched Shen Zhe leave without a second thought, as if they were just insignificant, ordinary people. So, what was the point of all their previous evasion?
Even when they could no longer see the car’s shadow, Asheng was still pondering the earlier issue.
"Boss, how did you appear here before?"
The leader turned and looked at Asheng with disdain: "I see you’re really too idle!"
Asheng: ...
However, despite his curiosity, Asheng didn’t dare to continue acting up and could only lower his head awkwardly.
"This time, as the vanguard, we thwarted the Dark Palace’s plan, and they won’t let us go.
Now, we must keep a low profile for a while to avoid ruining the nails we’ve painstakingly planted!"
The others immediately nodded upon hearing this.
Thanks to the informant within the Dark Palace, they launched a successful surprise attack, catching the adversaries off guard.
If not for the quick arrival of enemy reinforcements, they might have been able to eliminate another couple of them, and even a mutual destruction would have been worthwhile.
Alas, they were ultimately just a little short on luck.
Fortunately, although they didn’t manage to kill a few of those vicious elders, they seriously injured them. It’ll take at least a year or two for them to recover.
"Boss, before we leave, should we say goodbye to the young miss?"
"No need. Our superior told us not to disturb the young miss unless it’s absolutely necessary. This time, we’ve already overstepped our bounds, and we’ll face punishment upon return!"
Upon hearing this, everyone respectfully nodded: "Understood!"
Elsewhere, Yun Ran had just arrived at the hotel and poured a substantial amount of medicine into the bathtub. It was necessary to heal both internally and externally to restore her Breathing Control.
The potion was potent, and as soon as Yun Ran entered the bath, it felt as though countless needles were piercing her skin.
Even though it hurt so much that she broke into a sweat, Yun Ran didn’t even furrow her brows and continued to relax with her eyes closed.
To anyone, it would seem as though she was merely enjoying a simple herbal bath.
Not until the medicinal effects were completely absorbed and the prickling sensation faded did Yun Ran end the bath.
"Master, Shen Zhe is here~"
After changing, Yun Ran appeared radiant, her complexion healthy and her vitality abundant.
"Long time no see!"
Shen Zhe had a keen sense of smell. Although Yun Ran’s concoction was barely noticeable, he still caught a whiff of it.
His sharp, slightly intimidating eyes showed a hint of concern: "Are you hurt?"
Yun Ran was always gracious to those who cared for her.
She immediately responded with a smile: "Not injured, just exhausted from handling matters at Qingfeng Temple recently. It was just a medicinal bath."
The Special Administration Bureau also had their exclusive herbal baths, spending a considerable amount of money annually, though it was free of charge.
The benefits offered by the bureau were far superior to many lesser-known mystical family’s descendants.
This is why many with a slightly weaker background are desperate to join the bureau.
If one were to prepare herbal baths alone, no amount of salary would suffice, let alone having any chance to refine the body.
Upon hearing that Yun Ran only took a medicinal bath, Shen Zhe felt a wave of relief.
Afterward, they chatted about trivial things, avoiding any mention of the Special Administration Bureau or the people Yun Ran had vouched for.
It seemed that they were merely catching up.
After ate and drank their fill, it was time for Shen Zhe to leave, but as he stood up, he thought of something.
He turned back: "If possible, I advise against joining any mystical organizations to avoid getting in over your head."
Only because Shen Zhe and Yun Ran shared a deep bond and mutual trust could he possibly say such heartfelt words.
Even if Director Xie was now in charge, oftentimes, one must take personal responsibility.
Yun Ran smiled and replied, "Don’t worry, I know what to do."
Shen Zhe was concerned that Yun Ran was too young and might be misled by those old foxes, but now he realized his worries were unfounded.
"Alright then, I’ll be on my way. If there’s anything you need in Hai City, just let me know."
Yun Ran nodded: "I won’t hold back."
Shen Zhe: ...
Even though he meant every word sincerely, it seemed too easy for Yun Ran to accept.
O(∩_∩)O haha~.
Yun Ran really hasn’t changed. Even with her independence now, she remains the same.
After Shen Zhe left, Yun Ran glanced at the Little Paperman.
The Little Paperman immediately understood and went to check on the site of the previous chain accident.
Though Yun Ran could ignore these matters, she had to find out what exactly had transpired.
As Yun Ran was about to go to sleep, the Little Paperman returned.
"Master, the site of the accident has been sealed, but I can confirm that the magnetic field around there has been altered by someone.
There’s no Evil Qi left at all. Once the road there is repaired, it might reopen.
If a major accident site is not cleansed by an expert, that area will likely become a frequent accident spot..."
The information Little Paperman could gather was limited; it didn’t have Yun Ran’s ability to tap into other Life forms’ eyes to ’see’ past events.
But Yun Ran was sure that the road being sealed was likely due to the Special Administration Bureau clearing away the Evil Qi.
"Alright, I understand. I’ll have to check it out myself tomorrow!"
Yun Ran had a hunch that she might indeed uncover something.
Early the next morning, Old Liu was driving towards Qingfeng Temple when Yun Ran stopped him.
"Head to the site of the previous accident first."
Old Liu didn’t understand why, but that didn’t stop him from following Yun Ran’s orders.
"Understood, miss."
The car quickly arrived at the previously sealed-off site, and the moment she alighted, Yun Ran acknowledged Little Paperman’s prior words.
The magnetic field here had indeed changed; it didn’t resemble an accident or death site, being surprisingly pristine.
These were the companions previously mistaken as suspects by the Special Administration Bureau during a mission nearby when they diverted their pursuers.
Shen Zhe personally escorted them, and as he watched them get out, he gave a light reminder.
"Don’t ruin Yun Ran’s guarantee for you. Take care of yourselves!"
