With a personality that somewhat bullies the weak and fears the strong, having finally found Yun Ran as a big shot to cling to, Mo Zhi absolutely didn’t want to be chased away.
Having been retained now, he nodded his head like a pecking chick.
"Yes, Master Huai Yi, I understand, I will guard vigilantly and absolutely won’t let any danger approach Master Yun!"
After dismissing these crouching dragons and phoenix chicks around Yun Ran, the junior uncle sighed helplessly.
"Can’t you train some normal guys around you?"
Immediately in Yun Ran’s mind, the image of the entourage beside junior uncle, and those rushing spirits came to her mind...
Uh, without comparison there wasn’t much, but with comparison, there really wasn’t any comparison.
Generally brimming with self-confidence, Yun Ran rarely lowered her proud head.
She really wanted to nurture powerful guys, but they wouldn’t let her!
For example, over at the Imperial Cauldron Club, the Dragon Spirits grown from the genuine Dragon Vein, even if they’re on the verge of death, they wouldn’t bother with her.
Also, she actually fancied Xie Xuzhi, Gu Yuan, and such significant figures.
But in fact, they don’t even consider scheming or enslaving her a good thing!
Not to mention, during the Xuanmen Competition before, Nolan Jing who could use the Seven Stars Divination Lamp and Xiang Liu who wielded the Dragon Slayer Sword.
These people are all good entourage candidates, but do they care about her?
Let alone when she broke into the Ghost World, that imposing Lord Ghost certainly had more presence than Mo Zhi, who’s afraid to die.
But he was just passing by, leaving her lying prostrate on the ground...
Sigh, thinking too much makes one cry, Yun Ran immediately looked somewhat resentfully at junior uncle.
She increasingly felt junior uncle actually had the male protagonist Long Aotian’s script, while she was just holding the script of Passerby A from the neighboring village.
"Junior uncle, I feel actually you can roast me directly, no need for such tactful expression, I can handle it..."
Junior uncle flicked Yun Ran’s forehead: "Stop talking nonsense!"
With Yun Ran’s current situation and her peculiar Life Chart, to achieve this outcome was already not bad.
Junior uncle has always been protective of his kin, he won’t allow any grievance to befall the child he raised.
"The level of this small world is too low, doesn’t compare to the genius of our region.
Later, junior uncle will find some good ones for you, you’re too young and kind-hearted, accept everything..."
Knowing he might be the cause of Yun Ran being chased by the Heavenly Dao for extermination, Ginsengfruit was originally trying his best to keep a low profile.
But hearing junior uncle’s obvious attempt to pass the buck, he really wanted to say: junior uncle’s mindset is still too avant-garde.
Any problem is someone else’s, for the insider, not even the king of heaven dared to have a mistake!
Ginsengfruit seemed to understand why the Host had such a strong resolve.
Having such a formidable junior uncle as a mentor, with such robust backing like Qingfeng Temple, I would be incredibly strong too!
[Host, I also want such a remarkable elder like junior uncle~~~]
Yun Ran: ...
Does she really need to boast, how bold!!!
[If you’re idle, move aside, I haven’t settled accounts with you yet, and you’re already picking a fight!]
If it weren’t for the fact that she hadn’t sorted out the situation and didn’t know how to tell junior uncle that Ginsengfruit was sentient life from a High-class World, she wouldn’t bother to shield Ginsengfruit.
Ginsengfruit still had good sense, realizing Yun Ran truly didn’t want to deal with him, swiftly shrank back.
After ten minutes of heartfelt education, junior uncle then continued: "The source of Heavenly Dao was stolen.
This causes the operation of the Heavenly Dao of this world to go haywire occasionally, creating some trouble.
Originally, recovering Heavenly Dao Origin is extremely difficult, but since you and Xuan Chu were able to survive the backlash, you should be the only two who can perceive its presence.
I made a deal with Xuan Kong of Heavenly Dao Village, I help him find the missing people outside the village.
While Xuan Chu will stay by your side, if the person who stole the Heavenly Dao Origin can be found and the Heavenly Dao’s targeting of you overturned, that would be best.
If not, he will be by your side to protect you through the three years during which you can’t use Xuan Sect methods."
Junior uncle didn’t mention that not only does he go to help Heavenly Dao Village search for people, but he will personally seek tools that can serve as human shields for Yun Ran.
But as the result is uncertain, he chooses not to reveal it, lest Yun Ran knows and gets troubled.
Xuan Chu by Yun Ran’s side is another precaution prepared by junior uncle.
He can’t put all his eggs in one basket; he must ensure Yun Ran’s absolute safety.
Yun Ran’s eyes lit up upon hearing this: "Junior uncle, how did you negotiate with the people of Heavenly Dao Village, that you could make Xuan Kong allow his treasured disciple to be my free bodyguard for three years?"
Junior uncle knew Yun Ran’s focus would fall on this.
If it were someone else, they would definitely put all their attention on how to recover the Heavenly Dao Origin.
Faced with Yun Ran’s idle concern, junior uncle, what can he do, he nurtures his own children, naturally only spoiling them.
After poking Yun Ran’s forehead, junior uncle continued: "Naturally, it’s an equivalent exchange."
Yun Ran could only respond with oh, so the people from Heavenly Dao Village also act based on interest, they weren’t this nice to her before.
"This desert isn’t a good place for recuperation, you both tidy up and quickly head back!"
Now that Yun Ran is forced to be an ordinary person, and Xuan Chu is injured, if these two continue staying here, it will interfere with the older generation’s performance.
Yun Ran: ...
She really didn’t expect one day she would be so blatantly disliked by junior uncle.
But does she dare to refute him? Naturally not, so the next day, as dawn barely broke, she left the desert with Xuan Chu.
On the way, Xuan Chu was driving, cautiously glancing at Yun Ran through the rearview mirror.
To ease the atmosphere, he lightly cleared his throat.
Jokingly, he said: "Don’t you think, the two of us are just like in novels, those with a strong backing, getting bullied immediately have the older ones stepping in for us."
Yun Ran retorted: "Focus on driving, don’t you know I’m a walking bad luck charm now..."
Just as the words fell, a thumping sound occurred, as if the car had hit something.
Luckily, the Little Paperman was guarding Yun Ran’s side, quickly shielding her as the car got hit.
Otherwise, she would have been head over heels.
"See, didn’t I say so? In my current unlucky state, you dared to be distracted, now you’ve paid the price!"
