Chapter 827: Chapter 825: I’ll Only Teach You This Once! (Second Update)

At this moment, Yun Ran, who didn’t originally have a fear of densely packed objects, felt even more dizzy seeing so many eyes suddenly appear in midair.

A loud ’bang’ resounded.

The densely packed eyes and the strange stars in the sky seemed to have collided in an epic clash.

After a series of crashing sounds, this place instantly turned into a scene of ruins.

Then, Yun Ran saw the body of the owner of those eyes.

Yun Ran had never seen such an ugly creature; its massive eye was essentially its head.

Its body twisted like dry wood, and its proportions were severely distorted.

The junior martial uncle was wielding a Peach Wood Sword, hovering in midair, vaguely confronting the giant-eyed monster.

Just watching, the disadvantage was on their side. If you added a bit of background music, it really had that feeling of a cold wind blowing across the Yi River.

But the junior martial uncle, with his back to Yun Ran, spoke in a cool and indifferent voice: "Watch closely, I’ll only teach you this once!"

Yun Ran immediately stood up, eyes wide open, realizing that opportunities to see the junior martial uncle demonstrate in person were really rare.

Then, Yun Ran saw the junior martial uncle use just one move to strike the giant-eyed monster.

Following a ’pop’, that giant eye burst like a water-filled balloon being punctured.

Yun Ran: ...

Uh (⊙o⊙), goosebumps erupted all over. She really didn’t want to see such a disgusting thing a second time.

As for the move the junior martial uncle used, she learned it too.

After finishing off the giant-eyed monster, the junior martial uncle descended back to the ground.

Yun Ran knew it was time for the junior martial uncle to reprimand her, so she immediately covered her head, whining, "Ouch, ouch..."

The junior martial uncle looked at Yun Ran speechlessly—every time it was this trick. She wasn’t tired of it, but he was.

"When we get out of here, I’ll properly lecture you!"

It wasn’t that the junior martial uncle felt Yun Ran was pitiful, but rather, this wasn’t the place for a reprimand!

Yun Ran felt a surge of joy inside: Hehe, so what if the method is old? As long as it works!

The junior martial uncle restored the Peach Wood Sword to its original form before handing it back to Yun Ran: "Don’t casually activate the Peach Wood Sword’s strongest form again!"

Yun Ran nodded repeatedly, "I understand, junior martial uncle."

The junior martial uncle glanced around, frowning slightly before asking, "Where are your Magic Artifacts?"

Only Yun Ran was here. Could it be Yun Ran got separated from the Little Papermen?

Yun Ran immediately sidled up with a fawning expression: "They’re here."

With that, Yun Ran retracted her protective shell, and the junior martial uncle looked at the people and Magic Artifacts ’hiding’ under the Black Umbrella.

The small wooden man’s eyes, full of spirit, showed a somewhat speechless emotion.

Ginsengfruit thought it was seeing things, then rubbed its eyes hard. Only after confirming it wasn’t mistaken, did it hurriedly put away the Black Umbrella Yun Ran had given it.

Then it rushed over in a fawning manner: "Master Huai Yi, how come you’re here!!!"

The Little Papermen enthusiastically flew over, chirping: "Master Huai Yi, we’ve leveled up..."

Xie Xuzhi had heard of Master Huai Yi several times but had never actually seen this Master Huai Yi.

Seeing him now, it was truly a case of seeing is believing.

He never imagined that Master Huai Yi would be a little wooden man.

Oh, no, it shouldn’t be said he’d never seen him; he’d inadvertently seen him once before, but at that time, he only thought it was Yun Ran’s Magic Artifact.

He never thought this wooden man was the renowned Master Huai Yi.

Xie Xuzhi opened his mouth, but for a moment, he didn’t know what to say.

Xie Xuzhi didn’t know the junior martial uncle, but the junior martial uncle already knew Xie Xuzhi very well.

The junior martial uncle sized Xie Xuzhi up and down. Previously, he’d always been watching from the shadows.

Now, facing him up close, the junior martial uncle suddenly felt Xie Xuzhi seemed a bit silly, quite different from the decisive figure he observed from afar.

Could this be the difference between being an observer and close contact?

Yun Ran looked at the junior martial uncle, then at Xie Xuzhi, unsure about what the two were ’confronting’ each other over.

However, there must be a reason for the junior martial uncle doing this.

Thus, Yun Ran didn’t meddle by stepping forward to introduce them formally, and just obediently stood behind the junior martial uncle, waiting.

If people who’d seen a more arrogant Yun Ran saw her like this, they’d probably be stunned.

So, Yun Ran really does show different faces!

Fortunately, this ’confrontation’ didn’t last long, maybe just a few seconds.

Xie Xuzhi slightly lowered his head and gave a junior’s greeting to the junior martial uncle.

"Xie Xuzhi of the Xie Family, meeting Master Huai Yi."

The junior martial uncle calmly accepted the greeting. Not to mention his age and experience, his little girl saving this man’s life warranted this greeting.

"Alright, you may forgo the formalities."

Xie Xuzhi had passed the junior martial uncle’s test; otherwise, not everyone was qualified to offer such a greeting.

Xie Xuzhi then straightened up, remaining extremely respectful to the junior martial uncle, completely different from his indifference with other Xuan Sect seniors.

In the current situation, no one found it odd.

One felt deserving, and the other felt it justified.

Only Yun Ran was somewhat puzzled, observing the interaction between the two. At least in Yun Ran’s mind, the junior martial uncle was not so approachable.

"Junior martial uncle?"

Yun Ran hesitantly opened her mouth, feeling like whenever the junior martial uncle seemed to take a ’kind’ route, it meant someone was in trouble.

Yun Ran wasn’t sure if she was in trouble or if Xie Xuzhi was.

If she was in trouble, she had to act quickly, put on a pitiful act to gain sympathy.

You can’t blame Yun Ran for being so cautious; she was disciplined by the junior martial uncle many times as a child and had to use her wits to suffer less.

But if it was Xie Xuzhi in trouble, then Yun Ran could only stand by and watch; others having bad luck was better than herself having it.

The junior martial uncle, hearing Yun Ran’s words, immediately knew what she was plotting. He was currently too lazy to say anything to Yun Ran.

When they were out, he would deal with Yun Ran properly.

Now, he needed to trick Xie Xuzhi into willingly forming a contract with Yun Ran, to act as a shield.

"Shut up, go reflect on yourself over there!"

Yun Ran’s eyes lit up; great, it wasn’t her in trouble.

She cheerfully trotted to the side to ’reflect.’

As for Xie Xuzhi, sigh, she herself was like a clay idol fording a river, unable to protect herself, hoping he would be able to fare well on his own.

Walking along, Yun Ran merrily hummed a ditty to herself, ’My self-satisfied laugh, again self-satisfied laugh...’
