Cannon-Fodder Heiress Turns the Tables by Fortune-Telling-Chapter 793 - 791: Those Who Are Capable Do More Work

Chapter 793: Chapter 791: Those Who Are Capable Do More Work

Xuan Kong reached out, seemingly not exerting much force, yet those hands were like talons, effortlessly separating two entirely different materials of stone.

After taking the object into his hands, Xuan Kong then realized, this was not stone at all, but rather the skeletal remains of some creature, merely resembling stone.

Just as he lifted the bone for close examination, a moaning sound suddenly echoed from below the sinkhole.

However, the sound was so faint, it seemed more like a noise caused by draughts passing through corridors.

Xuan Kong merely turned his head to glance, then withdrew his gaze, as this sound posed no threat to him.

Meanwhile, Xuan Chu, climbing on the rock wall, naturally heard this sound too.

He could even sense a gaze from below the sinkhole, tightly fixed upon him.

Xuan Chu instantly felt a tingling sensation all over his skin, despite not seeing what lurked beneath the sinkhole.

However, Xuan Chu still knew that the gaze upon him belonged to the Guardian Dragon Spirit imprisoned below.

This physiological reaction made Xuan Chu furrow his brows deeply.

A creature trapped for a long time, especially one with high spiritual wisdom, possesses pain that is surely doubled.

Correspondingly, once such a creature escapes, its hatred is also infinitely heightened.

Xuan Chu knew all too well that the gaze upon him now wished to tear him apart.

If it were someone else under such a gaze, they would have long been flustered, perhaps even accidentally falling directly into the chasm.

Xuan Chu steadied his mind, calmly packed the papers he had taken out for rubbings earlier, and then leisurely climbed upward.

Once he reached his master’s side, he saw that his master’s gaze was almost glued to the ’stone’.

Only then did Xuan Chu crane his neck to peer over, naturally seeing that the stone was merely bone fossils resembling stone.

"What kind of beast’s bones are these?"

Upon hearing the voice, Xuan Kong realized his disciple had arrived.

Yet, currently, he had no time to attend to Xuan Chu, not even bothering to raise his head, directly saying, "I’m busy. Handle other matters yourself."

Xuan Chu: ...

That master, who would work day and night once encountering something he wanted to study, emerged again.

Xuan Chu could only find a flat spot himself, taking out the rubbings from before.

There were a total of twelve sheets, during the dispersal, some of those murals had weathered, and seeing them individually showed no apparent issues.

At this moment, arranging the twelve sheets together, Xuan Chu even took out a pen, meticulously following the original traces, filling in those less obvious areas.

This was indeed a delicate task, requiring quite a bit of time.

The master and disciple sat beside the sinkhole, each preoccupied with their own affairs.

As for the malicious gaze from below the sinkhole targeting Xuan Chu, it was naturally utterly ignored.

Over on Gu Yuan’s side, those problematic individuals at Five Emperors Mountain had already been thoroughly cleared out.

Though considered a major task accomplished, unfortunately, no more valuable clues were obtained from the mouths of those captured.

While Gu Yuan was still reviewing materials, his subordinate rushed in.

"Gu Chu, as per your previous instructions, we’ve begun fortifications at Five Emperors Mountain area."

Gu Yuan glanced up at his subordinate, lightly nodded, then gestured for him to leave.

Despite also worrying about Yun Ran and the chief, but there were Guardian Dragon Spirits and predecessors from Qingfeng Temple over there, presumably void of issues.

At this moment, Gu Yuan justifiably assumed command as the highest officer in defending Five Emperors Mountain.

Leaving it to others was something he could not trust, the few Guardian Dragon Spirits would inevitably be found.

Yet, unknown Guardian Dragon Spirits, nobody knew their potential for destruction, therefore, guarding against them causing havoc was his responsibility.

Not to mention previous leaks of the situation here prompted many Xuan Sect individuals to send their people over.

Including those old monsters, as well as the forces from Heavenly Dao Village, even Wanqi Yu’s adoptive father sent people over...

Gu Yuan’s role became evident, not only must he prevent major upheavals here but also balance the conflicts among other Xuan Sect forces, a task not for the ordinary person.

If he wasn’t of the Gu Family, merely just Xie Xuzhi’s confidant, people from other Mystical Sect families wouldn’t even glance at him, much less heed his commands.

Each of these factions wasn’t easily provoked, had it been someone else, it indeed would have been difficult to overwhelm them.

At this moment, Gu Yuan sighed deeply, truly bearing too much responsibility, alas, perhaps it’s just the case that capable individuals work more.

Wanqi Yu knocked on the door, Gu Yuan collected his somewhat self-indulgent expression.

"Come in!"

Wanqi Yu glanced at Gu Yuan’s calm demeanor, instantly relaxing his own concerns.

"What brings you to me?"

With his adoptive father sending people over, Wanqi Yu naturally had to greet them as his adoptive son.

As for Gu Yuan, he knew that Shen Jun was Yun Ran’s biological father, and moreover shared with them certain secrets, essentially information exchange.

Thus, when Shen Jun sent people over, Gu Yuan turned a blind eye as long as they didn’t openly conflict with the Special Administration Bureau.

Gu Yuan treated them in the same way as he did other Xuan Sect individuals who sent people to investigate.

"I’ve already had people start fortifications, it’s best your adoptive father’s people don’t do anything silly."

Wanqi Yu didn’t hesitate for a moment, directly nodding, "Got it, my adoptive father instructed not to cause trouble for the Special Administration Bureau."

Gu Yuan was immediately satisfied, although everyone had ties, in official matters, Gu Yuan was someone who meant what he said.

"Alright, then be careful, I’ve heard from the reports that Rong Gu is still lurking in the mountains, clashing with He Tu’s group and the forces from Heavenly Dao Village, make sure your people don’t head toward Snow Mountain."

Five Emperors Mountain consists of five mountain ranges forming a cluster, each with a significant altitude.

In Snow Mountain, a separate ski resort has been established, attracting quite a number of visitors.

Wanqi Yu instantly understood Gu Yuan’s implied meaning.

"I understand, I’ll ensure our people avoid Snow Mountain, definitely not causing difficulty to the Special Administration Bureau."

Though the Special Administration Bureau governs all Xuan Sect forces in major matters, every situation is mutually reinforcing.

Other Xuan Sect forces must give face to the Special Administration Bureau, and similarly, the Special Administration Bureau should not hinder their interests.

Rong Gu’s presence in Snow Mountain indicates considerable interests there.

The people under Wanqi Yu’s command, whether from Shen Jun or the Wanqi Family.

Have no qualification to partake in this share, hence, they better exit the competition for interests there.
