Your advantage has been diminished
Chapter 1334 Your advantage has been diminished
Xuan Chu simply couldn't imagine what Yun Ran and the others had encountered. If his guess was true...
Upon suddenly learning this, an uncontrollable pain spread from his chest, causing Xuan Chu to sway slightly.
"Guest...guest, what's wrong?"
Xuan Chu covered his chest and remained silent for a long time.
The shop owner was a little flustered. One second he was worried about not making any money, and the next second, this wealthy customer seemed to have a mental breakdown.
If someone gets into trouble at his shop, not only will he lose money, but the bookstore might also get into trouble.
Seeing that things were going badly, the shop owner hurriedly shouted to his employee who was about to close the shop, "Quick, go find the inspector!"
The waiter was also a little frightened and hurriedly ran out.
Before long, the sound of hurried footsteps grew closer and closer, and just by listening to the sound, you could tell that a lot of people were coming.
Xuan Chu finally recovered from the overwhelming sadness and pain.
His lips were a little pale: "I'm fine, it's just that my old ailment suddenly flared up, but I'm fine now. By the way, I want this book."
As he spoke, Xuan Chu reached out and grabbed a handful of pearls, placing them in front of the shopkeeper.
"Please handle the aftermath, I'll be leaving now."
The shop owner was stunned by the large handful of pearls in front of him. By the time he came to his senses, Xuan Chu had already disappeared.
Just then, the patrolmen returned with the shop assistant, leaving only the shop owner in the store.
"What about people?"
"That guest just left, didn't you run into him?"
The patrol team came all the way, but didn't see anyone.
If this shop weren't an established brand where everyone knew each other, those people patrolling would really make people wonder if the owner was just messing with them.
"This was left by that guest. He had a relapse of an old ailment, but he left after he was fine."
Seeing that the inspectors looked unhappy, the shop owner quickly handed them half of the pearls before they could retaliate.
Upon seeing the pearl, the leader's eyes flickered: "Oh, I see. Then it's alright."
When Xuan Chu left, he put a concealment talisman on himself and just happened to brush past the patrolling people.
The city gates had long been closed, but Xuan Chu's steps did not falter in the slightest.
He just wanted to get to the area where Yunran had set up the array as soon as possible, and it would be even better if he could find the entrance.
Suddenly, Xuan Chu fell hard without warning, and the pain from his wounds blurred his vision.
Xuan Chu slammed his fist on the ground, cursing under his breath, "Damn it, I just tripped and fell, how could it hurt so much!"
Perhaps having found a reason to cry, Xuan Chu rubbed his face hard, his voice becoming hoarse.
"Impossible, how could Long Ling be dead..."
Even without looking in the mirror, Xuan Chu could tell that his face must look terrible.
The dragon spirit, trapped in the air cage, had no idea that Xuan Chu, a thousand years in the future, had guessed that he was dead and was crying his heart out.
Even though he was trapped, with Yun Ran by his side, he regained his human form and lay there comfortably humming a tune, feeling incredibly relaxed.
For Yunran, who was meditating, the night passed by incredibly quickly.
It felt like only a blink of an eye before dawn broke. Numerous footsteps echoed outside the courtyard; just from the sound, one could tell these people's footsteps were steady and powerful—they were definitely experts.
Yun Ran then leisurely emerged from the tent, hastily wrapped it up, and stuffed it back into her bag.
"Sigh, there aren't enough paper dolls. I, the dignified young master of Qingfeng Temple, have to assemble my own tent!"
Previously, the number of paper dolls she could control with her cultivation level was limited, but ever since she drank the medicine given to her by Chi Yao last time...
The bottleneck in his cultivation has been broken, and he can now control the number of paper dolls, at least doubling the number.
Once Yunran understood the situation with Long Ling, she decided to refine more paper dolls, otherwise they wouldn't be enough.
The courtyard gate was pushed open, and the tenfold gravity environment that Yunran had almost adapted to suddenly disappeared.
Yunran: ...
These people have no sportsmanship at all, and they're even more hypocritical than her!
However, considering that the gravitational field had also brought her some benefits, she decided to let it go for the time being.
"You're that guy's owner?"
The man at the head of the group was very young, but he exuded an air of nobility.
The people following behind him were all experts, and several of them were even the heads of several major families in Meicheng.
If Yunran still can't guess this person's identity after all this, then she's wasted her eyes.
The Mei family is not here. Logically speaking, given the Mei family's status in Meicheng, anyone who comes here should not have to go through them to do anything.
But in this situation, there is only one possibility: the Mei family does not have the trust of the person in front of them.
Yun Ran truly had neither the time nor the inclination to socialize with that so-called young prince, and couldn't even be bothered to give him a spare glance.
At that moment, Qinglong and the bald monk also came over from the side room.
If Yunran hadn't known clearly that the two of them had secretly left last night...
Judging from the direction these two are coming from, you'd really think they'd been in the yard the whole time.
Based on the distribution of people around, Yunran made a simple analysis of the current situation.
Finally, he decisively turned his gaze towards Qinglong and the others.
"It's getting late. Tell me, what exactly do you want? Before, you relied on your numbers to trap my people, but now that I'm back, your advantage has been reduced."
This was the first time the young prince had been so blatantly ignored, as if he were just an insignificant nobody.
An unnamed anger surged up in his heart, but as a child who grew up peacefully in the royal family, he was not only favored but also held a lot of real power, so his mind was naturally deep and terrifying.
He wouldn't show any dissatisfaction unless he was absolutely certain he could kill Yunran in one blow.
The heads of the major families following behind the young prince exchanged quick glances, their hearts trembling slightly.
The heads of the families wished they could lower their heads and disappear into a crack in the ground.
This young prince is more difficult to deal with than they imagined; he can even tolerate Yun Ran slapping him so openly.
Those in positions of power can endure more forbearance than those in lowly positions who harbor hidden hatred; their destructive power is far more astonishing.
And to make matters worse, they witnessed all of this. Who knows, they might be silenced later...
However, just one glance and a few words were enough to stir up a storm in the scene before them.
But Yunran didn't care about the consequences at all; she just wanted to get Long Ling out and squeeze the other party for a hefty sum.
