Chapter 669: 669 Sitting at Home, Trouble Falls from the Sky

Xie Xuzhi’s confidants were surprised when they saw the people coming to hand over the assets, all young faces in their twenties.

They thought there wouldn’t be anyone as bold as their Director Xie anymore, but who would’ve thought that even Lady Yun possessed such courage.

Back then, their Director Xie could insist on employing young people without backgrounds.

Not only because Director Xie had already established a foothold in the Special Administration Bureau, but also because his identity within the Xie Family could back him up.

Given the right time, place, and people, naturally no one could interfere with Director Xie’s decisions.

Xin Fu had no idea what Xie Xuzhi’s confidants were thinking, but noticing their gaze fall on them.

He couldn’t help but ask, "Is there something wrong?"

Today was the first time he brought his subordinates to handle affairs for Qingfeng Temple, so there couldn’t be any negligence.

Right now, they were representing not just themselves, but the reputation of Qingfeng Temple and the temple master, and they couldn’t afford to be underestimated. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

"Oh, it’s nothing, you guys come with me."

Yun Ran was their own person; only someone not in their right mind would make things difficult for Yun Ran’s people.

Xin Fu and the people following him naturally felt the other’s goodwill, but they still kept their guard up.

They meticulously inspected the assets handed over to them throughout the process, even exploring the nearby situation.

After confirming there were no issues, they signed and accepted, also stamping it with Qingfeng Temple’s Great Seal.

After everything was done, the day had already broken; even though they had worked through the night, each face was still spirited and lively.

With that state, it seemed as if they could sustain themselves for several more days.

Xie Xuzhi’s confidants inexplicably felt overshadowed, quietly competing with Xin Fu and his team.

"The matter is settled, we’ll head back now."

"Hey, what’s the rush? Since you’re here, at least stay for a meal before you leave, where’s our face if you just leave like that?"

Xin Fu glanced at the person speaking, his tone still calm.

"We need to return to report to the temple master, and later head back to Hai City. Qingfeng Temple has just been established, and there are still many things waiting for us to handle..."

Xie Xuzhi’s confidants sincerely wanted to retain them, but the reasons given were so adequate that they couldn’t argue further.

Until they watched Xin Fu and his team disappear into the distance, out of sight.

Only then did someone belatedly say, "Why do I feel like I’m just occupying a position and not doing anything?"

"Haha, remove ’like’, compared to us, they’re really going all out!"

"Now that I think about it, we’re actually quite lucky, although we work overtime a lot, we can take compensatory leave and receive high overtime pay..."

"I feel I can work three more days!"

Xin Fu was completely unaware that in their effort to earn face for Yun Ran and Qingfeng Temple,

they had indirectly motivated some tired individuals to push themselves even harder.

When Yun Ran saw the assets worth several times more than the previous small island, a smile almost blossomed on her face.

"Temple Master, we’ve personally checked all these assets, there are no issues. We even explored the surrounding areas as well."

Yun Ran nodded: "Mm, I trust your work. You’ve worked hard this trip, go back and have a good rest."

Although Yun Ran sometimes didn’t act like a person, of course, sometimes she didn’t treat herself as one either.

She really wasn’t the type who would, upon success, treat her underlings as slaves.

Often, Yun Ran was generous to a degree that could overwhelm people.

"You can use the several reserved courtyards, and in addition, each of you can choose one item from the storeroom."

Nowadays, anyone with some status knows that Qingfeng Temple’s dojo is hard to come by.

Already happy because Yun Ran recognized his capability, Xin Fu didn’t expect to receive extra rewards.

Moved, Xin Fu dropped to one knee, in a gesture of complete submission: "Thank you, temple master!"

Yun Ran: ...

She really was just casually rewarding some hard-working individuals, why did it seem like she was trying to win hearts?

"Get up then."

However, Yun Ran’s joy didn’t last long.

Despite Erdan protecting her from misfortune, unfortunate matters didn’t completely avoid Yun Ran.

Xuan Chu hurried over, glanced at Xin Fu and others expressing loyalty, then paused.

Yun Ran waved her hand, saying to Xin Fu, "You all head back to Hai City first."

Xin Fu nodded respectfully, then also saluted Xuan Chu before leaving.

"Don’t tell me, something happened again and it’s related to me!"

Xuan Chu also found it hard to explain when he got the news, but as it happens, the matter was indeed related to Yun Ran.

"Someone, under the guise of seeking justice for you, killed a lot of Evil Cultivators, especially those hiding and siphoning off Qi Fortune.

Many Evil Cultivators couldn’t withstand it and came to resent you. Knowing you’re now in Huannan, people from Heavenly Dao Village detected a large group of Evil Cultivators heading this way."

Yun Ran: ...

Previously, she wouldn’t have feared any number of Evil Cultivators, but now, sigh, it’s all just tears...

Xuan Chu asked puzzled, "Did the news of you being backlashed and your powers sealed get out?"

Few people knew about it, all of whom were people Yun Ran trusted, so who leaked the information?

Xuan Chu racked his brains helping Yun Ran figure out who the leaker was.

Unexpectedly, he noticed the grit-teeth expression on Yun Ran’s face, indicating she probably knew who was behind these happenings.

"You know who it is?"

Based on the information received, Yun Ran quickly deduced who the person was.

"He Tu!"

The name was completely unfamiliar to Xuan Chu, who looked at Yun Ran confusedly.

The Little Paperman, who was tidying up the house, paused upon hearing the name, clearly thinking that name shouldn’t even be mentioned here.

"Who is this person?"

Yun Ran was almost at her limit, with no mood to ’educate’ Xuan Chu on this person’s identity.

Instead, the Little Paperman, in just a few sentences, exposed He Tu’s identity and past deeds completely.

Xuan Chu: ...

He sympathetically glanced at Yun Ran, thinking to himself, what kind of fate does she have, even attracting such a fickle and ancient entity.

This was nowhere near avenging Yun Ran; it was evidently stirring up trouble for her.

The crux was, this person was not even Yun Ran’s ’associate,’ yet the consequences of his actions fell on her.

A classic case of calamity dropping in unexpectedly.
