Cannon-Fodder Heiress Turns the Tables by Fortune-Telling-Chapter 680: Lock Them All in Solitary Confinement!
The relaxed vibe emanating from Little Uncle Master made Xuan Chu feel an illusion, as if Yun Ran wasn’t captured but went off to play instead.
Previously, in the Water Curtain, Yun Ran also appeared at ease and carefree, as if the sky falling wouldn’t concern her.
Now, just from this little glimpse of Yun Ran and Little Uncle Master’s way of life,
Xuan Chu could roughly surmise what a colossal entity the Qingfeng Temple in their world was.
Only a sect with sufficient confidence could cultivate people with such relaxation and self-assurance.
Little Uncle Master turned his head and saw Xuan Chu looking spaced out, waving his hand in front of his eyes.
"Snap out of it!"
Xuan Chu: ...
This Uncle Yan really didn’t see him as an outsider, his tone of disdain was just like treating his own junior (Yun Ran).
"Go check if any high-status individuals recently have disappeared who have a grudge against that brat."
"Are you suspecting the one who was with Yun Ran but hung there..."
"Not suspecting, I’m certain."
Otherwise, what’s the point of hanging someone there, as decoration, or to keep Yun Ran company in case she’s scared?
Xuan Chu also realized his question was a bit silly, how could someone captured by Rong Gu be a nobody.
"I’ll have someone check immediately."
As Xuan Chu went out to make a call, Little Uncle Master focused on the Little Papermen.
Though the Little Uncle Master presently wore a wooden expression without emotions, the Little Papermen still felt overwhelming pressure.
"You’ve been like this for so long, yet still in your initial forms. Where’s your ambition? Once that brat returns, all of you will be grounded!"
The Little Papermen immediately drooped their heads. Usually, their master didn’t demand much from them and often humored them.
They are Magic Artifacts and similarly possess laziness.
When Xuan Chu returned, he saw the Little Papermen looking deflated like eggplants beaten by frost.
But he astutely asked nothing; when elders are scolding, whoever interrupts gets criticized.
Just as Xuan Chu thought he got away this time, Little Uncle Master’s gaze fell upon him again.
"And you, even though you’re a future elder of Heavenly Dao Village, you’re a stubborn thinker, you need proper trials, otherwise, you’ll end up sold and counting money for others!"
Xuan Chu: ...
Honestly speaking, the ones who’ve criticized him the most are Yun Ran and Uncle Yan.
This suddenly made Xuan Chu feel maybe, likely, possibly... he wasn’t compatible with Qingfeng’s people.
But this thought he dared not reveal, fearing being struck down for just peeking out.
He promptly nodded: "Uncle Yan, I understand."
Once done scolding, Little Uncle Master finally reined in his temper.
Previously unobservant to people’s moods, Xuan Chu suddenly became intuitive, quickly seizing a gap to say: "Uncle Yan, are we still going to find Yun Ran?"
Little Uncle Master immediately retorted with annoyance: "Find her for what, that brat deserves a little hardship, if she wasn’t so lazy and sloppy upon coming to this world, how could she end up like this!"
Anyway, as long as Yun Ran wouldn’t die, in Little Uncle Master’s eyes, she could be as reckless as she likes.
He didn’t see Yun Ran as a delicate little girl; if you don’t work hard today, tomorrow you’ll bleed and lose your life!
In other Xuanmen, girls receive little attention and are looked down upon, resources much scarcer.
But Yun Ran could casually squander resources, otherwise, how could she have refined so many strange Magic Artifacts.
Such a spoiled little ancestor by the entire Qingfeng Temple.
Arriving in this world, she turned so lazy, not giving her a good spanking was already generous to Yun Ran.
Fuming, Little Uncle Master made up his mind to make Yun Ran suffer some hardship this time.
Seeing Little Uncle Master so exasperated with her unrelenting attitude, Xuan Chu inexplicably felt guilty.
He was genuinely worried about Yun Ran and wanted to rescue her as soon as possible, without any intention of ’adding insult to injury’.
No clue whether Yun Ran would fall out with him when she returned.
Luckily, a ringing phone saved him at this moment.
Xuan Chu quickly answered the call.
Hearing what was said on the other end, Xuan Chu furrowed his brows: "Are you certain?"
"Yes, although this information was blocked, you know, our people have special channels."
The people of Heavenly Dao Village are exceptionally skilled in dealing with plants that developed spiritual wisdom; the information gathered and relayed through them is almost one hundred percent accurate.
"Alright, understood!"
After hanging up, Xuan Chu couldn’t help but glance at Little Uncle Master, seemingly pondering how to phrase things to avoid being scolded.
Having dealt with those mischievous kids from Qingfeng for years, Little Uncle Master saw through Xuan Chu’s intentions.
He outright stated, "Speak honestly, no need to hide anything!"
Xuan Chu: ...
He now understood why Yun Ran feared Uncle Yan so much; the oppressive vibe was too strong, not allowing him to conceal anything.
"The individual meeting both conditions you mentioned is likely that Zhang Family’s eldest daughter..."
As he continued, words that were tough for a ’righteous’ person like Xuan Chu to utter suddenly flowed smoothly.
Once he finished recounting the prior conflicts between them and Zhang Weilin, Xuan Chu quietly awaited Little Uncle Master’s instructions.
He expected Little Uncle Master to at least say a few token words, maybe feign saying Yun Ran was too aggressive or something.
Instead, Little Uncle Master coldly snorted: "For heartless kinds like that, they should be beaten dead with a stick, letting her dance around for so many days gave others a chance to plot!"
Xuan Chu’s eyes widened suddenly.
No way, how is Uncle Yan so different from the Xuanmen elders he imagined, his temper seems even more volatile and decisive than the Evil Cultivators.
"Uh, Uncle Yan, Yun Ran she..."
Xuan Chu didn’t know what to say but felt he should clarify.
"No need for more, nothing changes the fact, that brat hasn’t learned my essence at all!"
Being Xuanmen people, actions should be swift and sharp; when dealing with Evil Cultivators, regardless of magnitude, mercy is not an option.
Xuan Chu paused and then silently zipped his mouth.
Now truly experiencing Uncle Yan’s overbearing might, for a moment, Xuan Chu felt Uncle Yan would perfectly fit as one of Heavenly Dao Village’s people.
Strong, determined, protective, domineering...
No wonder the master always invites Uncle Yan to Heavenly Dao Village as a guest.
