Chapter 617: Doing Favors Costs Money
Just when the Little Paperman was indignant and wanted to teach a lesson to those who dared to steal from the master’s territory.
Xuan Chu was already walking over, holding a burly man by one hand.
Yun Ran raised an eyebrow, it seemed this ’thief’ was no ordinary person; otherwise, Xuan Chu, who usually stood by and watched, wouldn’t have taken action.
They came to Huannan on a whim, so there was no possibility of someone leaking their whereabouts in advance.
Yet they were still targeted, if this person were a regular thief, Xuan Chu probably wouldn’t have even shown his face.
With a "bang," Xuan Chu threw the burly man onto the beach.
A trace of chill appeared on Xuan Chu’s face: "This person not only scouted the area but also placed a lot of tracking talisman paper around the villa, and I caught him red-handed!"
Since this person knew the skills of the Xuan Sect, the Little Paperman wasn’t restrained anymore.
He directly rushed over, grabbed the burly man’s hair, and forcibly lifted his head up.
Then came a few slaps, hitting while cursing.
"Where did you come from, petty thief? How dare you act up in front of the master, I’ll beat you to death!"
After a few slaps, the burly man, who had been knocked out by Xuan Chu, slowly opened his eyes.
He only felt a burning pain on his cheeks, his lips were split, and the smell of blood hovered intermittently in his nose.
Yun Ran sat up, lazily propping her chin with her hand, and said with a smile: "Tell me, who are you people, how did you spot me, and what are you planning?"
The beaten burly man felt like all his bones were going to shatter, with pain piercing into his heart.
Even though Yun Ran was smiling, her eyes were icy cold, as if one unsatisfactory word from him would see her throw him into the nearby sea to feed the sharks.
The burly man couldn’t care less about the pain of his scalp being pulled, and inhaled sharply, getting used to the pain in his cheeks.
He finally managed to pull out a smile: "Miss, it’s a misunderstanding, really a misunderstanding!"
Upon hearing the term "Miss," Yun Ran immediately understood the person’s identity, and her smile instantly turned into speechlessness.
She waved her hand, and the Little Paperman snorted coldly, letting go of the burly man’s hair.
However, he still didn’t fly back to Yun Ran’s side, instead, he hovered beside the burly man with his arms crossed, ready to kick him as soon as his master commanded.
"Stand up!"
The man lying on the ground hurriedly got up with a wry smile.
His movements were extremely swift, not even brushing the sand off his body, and he immediately knelt on one knee like a sycophant.
"Greetings, Miss. I am Ah Ding, the gentleman knew this vacation villa was yours, so he had people keep an eye on it, afraid that someone would naively intrude..."
Xuan Chu had thought someone was closely monitoring Yun Ran’s whereabouts, but unexpectedly, it was others waiting for a rabbit to jump into the trap.
Judging by Yun Ran’s current demeanor, she clearly understood who this person was, prompting Xuan Chu to step back a little.
"Why did you place tracking talismans around the villa?"
Even if this person was sent by her biological father to guard her house, she was displeased that her movements were being secretly monitored after her arrival.
Ah Ding, hearing the tone of the Miss, knew she was angry.
Uncertain whether it was fear of the gentleman’s authority or the helplessness of being beaten earlier, Ah Ding immediately shifted from kneeling on one to both knees.
"Miss, I didn’t know it was you before, I just planned to investigate upon discovering someone. If I knew it was you, how could I dare to offend you!"
Yun Ran looked at this Ah Ding kneeling so smoothly, her speechlessness doubled. Am I that terrifying?
She waved her hand with some impatience: "Okay, get up!"
Ah Ding dared not upset Yun Ran, he immediately stood up but remained respectful, not daring to make any excess movement.
"Miss..."
"Stop!"
"Don’t call me Miss anymore, every time I meet you people, nothing good comes of it!"
Now, hearing the term "Miss" really gave her a bad feeling, every encounter with these people was trouble.
Despite the lack of familiarity in the relationship, they ended up using the term to make her help several times for free, as if targeting her alone!
Back when she helped Xie Xuzhi, there was a clear price tag shared. Indeed, being altruistic is costly.
Ah Ding was choked by Yun Ran’s words, instinctively wanting to counter, but soon, he sheepishly realized.
It seemed since the ’acknowledgment’ with Miss, she indeed helped them more.
"If there’s nothing else, then leave quickly, and also, don’t randomly talk about my affairs, or I’ll shut you up!"
Ah Ding opened his mouth to say that the gentleman actually cared about Miss, but seeing her obviously disapproving look, he couldn’t utter a word.
With Yun Ran urging him to leave, the Little Paperman was naturally unceremonious.
He started poking Ah Ding’s back: "Hurry up and leave!"
If these weren’t the master’s biological father’s subordinates, they would have wanted to kick this person out.
Ah Ding had no choice but to leave, looking back every few steps.
After the person left, Xuan Chu deliberately cleaned up, tearing off all the tracking talismans Ah Ding had left and also set up a do-not-disturb array.
Without permission, anyone intruding within a 50-meter radius of the villa would get lost, like entering a maze, and be unable to approach the villa.
When Xuan Chu returned, he saw Yun Ran eating and drinking again.
"Is that person trustworthy? If he leaks your whereabouts..."
The fact that Yun Ran couldn’t use Xuan Sect methods hadn’t spread out, usually, anyone with a modicum of sense wouldn’t rush to offend Yun Ran.
But sometimes, it’s not about fearing villains racking their brains, but rather idiots having sudden inspirations.
"That person is my biological father’s subordinate!"
Xuan Chu made a sound of acknowledgment and suddenly realized: "Your biological father?"
He only knew Yun Ran was now the third Miss of Hai City Yun Family, with her biological mother being the heroine of this small world, but he hadn’t expected Yun Ran’s biological father to still be alive.
Seeing Xuan Chu’s expression of wanting to ask but feeling awkward about it.
Yun Ran directly rolled her eyes, questioning when this guy became so curious.
The initially aloof demeanor was more agreeable.
"Ask whatever you want, you already know the truth of this world, there’s nothing I can’t say."
Apart from her own detailed origins and matters related to Qingfeng Temple being undisclosed, Yun Ran was quite eager to share anything about this world.
"Is your biological father also a Xuanmen person? Judging by the looks, he seems quite high-ranking, how come I’ve never heard of him before?"
Xuan Chu was already walking over, holding a burly man by one hand.
Yun Ran raised an eyebrow, it seemed this ’thief’ was no ordinary person; otherwise, Xuan Chu, who usually stood by and watched, wouldn’t have taken action.
