Yun Ran’s gaze then turned to the Little Paperman who had secured the iron rice bowl previously.
"You should go back to catching bad guys too."
After all, they were even paid a salary, so it’s not good to be absent from work for too long.
The Little Paperman reluctantly rubbed Yun Ran’s fingers but nodded in agreement. It really enjoyed catching bad guys.
"You two, continue staying with Doctor Yu and protect him well. I still rely on him for my submission quota."
The two named Little Papermen hurriedly nodded, staying by Doctor Yu’s side, they could learn a lot from him.
The remaining five Little Papermen stayed with Yun Ran for her convenience.
With both big and small matters settled, Yun Ran relaxed a little.
But she couldn’t relax for more than two seconds before Elder Uncle’s sinister gaze appeared in her mind.
Yun Ran shivered immediately.
No, she couldn’t be lazy anymore. It’s all because her life is too comfortable now, leaving her without much sense of crisis.
But with Elder Uncle watching from behind, Yun Ran didn’t dare slack off anymore.
She had to quickly improve her physical fitness, otherwise, next time she might be chased by Elder Uncle.
"Pack up, I have to find a place to go into seclusion properly. Otherwise, when Elder Uncle comes out, he definitely won’t let me off!"
Ginsengfruit obviously also thought about the scene when they first met Yun Ran, where Elder Uncle was swinging a knife.
Without danger, Elder Uncle was the greatest threat, and when he struck, it was a serious strike.
Even the apple it was biting on stopped tasting crisp and sweet, and it quickly put it down, saying with lingering fear, "Host, maybe I should practice too..."
Once they agreed on the plan, they immediately contacted someone and rented a place specifically for Xuanmen people to go into seclusion.
When the address was sent to Yun Ran, she was genuinely shocked. New ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄhapters are published on noveⅼfire.net
"Wow, these people really know how to make money. They set the place for seclusion at the garbage dump on the outskirts of the Capital City, charging five million a month. It’s truly waste utilization."
After taking a taxi to get near, the air was filled with the stench of garbage.
If it weren’t known in advance that this place was specifically developed for Xuanmen people to go into seclusion, Yun Ran thought she would never come to such a place in her life.
As she walked towards the garbage dump, Yun Ran felt many gazes fall on her.
Soon, an old man in work clothes approached.
He looked kindly at Yun Ran: "Little girl, this place is filthy and not fun at all. You’d better take your little brother somewhere else to play."
Yun Ran raised her eyes to look at the old man before her, directly took out her phone, and pulled up the information about the seclusion location that had been agreed upon.
"I’m not here to play; I’ve booked a Class A Seclusion Room."
The old man, who appeared to be an ordinary person, had his expression change immediately upon hearing this, his eyes moved slightly.
He directly looked at Yun Ran’s phone screen, and after seeing the information on it, he exclaimed, "So it’s Little Friend Yun! Truly young and promising, this way please!"
It was no surprise that the old man was surprised; he had seen many people come to rent seclusion rooms.
But he had never seen such a young girl renting a Class A room.
If Yun Ran hadn’t spoken up, he wouldn’t have figured out that she was from the Xuanmen.
Yun Ran followed the old man in work clothes, bypassing the garbage dump, and soon arrived in front of a cluster of bungalows.
As she got closer, Yun Ran clearly perceived more gazes focusing on her.
Yet to the naked eye, there was no one around.
The old man glanced at the electronic lock at the door, and the door opened immediately: "This way please."
Yun Ran followed him inside and only then did she see that the inside of the bungalow was actually an elevator.
After the elevator started descending, it kept going down for quite a while before it finally stopped.
Based on her past experience of taking elevators, Yun Ran predicted internally that this place was very deep underground.
The elevator doors opened, and the cold and clammy feeling she imagined did not appear. Instead, it was a constant temperature atmosphere.
"Here stands the Class A Seclusion Rooms. The lit-up ones indicate that someone is inside."
Yun Ran followed the old man’s gaze and saw that these seclusion rooms were actually similar to caves.
The old man took out a piece of Jade, effortlessly split it in half, and handed it to Yun Ran.
"This half opens the seclusion room door, and this half you put in the elevator slot when you wish to leave."
Yun Ran nodded, took the Jade, and Ginsengfruit also extended its hand to take another Jade and split it itself.
"All these Seclusion Rooms are the same, so you can pick any one."
After saying that, the old man in work clothes directly took the elevator and left, not caring about anything else afterward.
Seeing the metallic glinting stones all around, Ginsengfruit couldn’t help but feel a little uneasy.
"Host, do you think if we got trapped in such a place, there’s any chance of escape?"
Yun Ran was a bit speechless: "This place is legitimate; they won’t kill or rob us!"
Ginsengfruit felt a bit sheepish immediately, just a bit cowardly, that’s all.
Yun Ran shared some of the most basic introductory Xuanmen texts with Ginsengfruit.
"Find a seclusion room that feels pleasing to you, and don’t forget, I’ll be checking when you come out!"
After dealing with Ginsengfruit, Yun Ran picked an edge-side seclusion room and used the Jade to open the stone door.
As soon as she entered, she felt a heavy and powerful mystical pressure that made even moving her feet incredibly difficult.
"Truly deserving of a Class A Seclusion Room; this weight pressure is really imposing."
While Yun Ran was catching her breath, Ginsengfruit went in and was immediately pressed to the ground by the immense gravitational force, unable to call out for help.
If its body hadn’t been tempered by Heavenly Thunder, it might have been bleeding from all seven orifices.
Yun Ran took a good while to adjust her breathing finally, slowly moving her feet towards the mat.
Even though it was only a few meters away, Yun Ran’s clothes were soaked with sweat, to the point where squeezing them would drip water.
Next to the mat were three porcelain bottles: one containing Healing Medicine, another with the Great Replenishing Pill for boosting physical capabilities, and the last one, a nutritional supplement to alleviate hunger.
After sitting cross-legged with great difficulty, Yun Ran’s hair had already started to drip with water.
A clear, crisp "snap" sound was heard.
It was the sound of skin being cracked by pressure, Yun Ran was a bit speechless. Her flawless skin was ruined!
However, compared to being chased by Elder Uncle, she could still accept this bit of flaw.
