The Ginsengfruit immediately looked at Xin Fu with a somewhat sympathetic gaze. After going around in circles, it still ended up being linked to this bounty quest.
However, Xin Fu didn’t think of himself as unlucky; when he decided to follow closely beside Yun Ran as her subordinate.
Xin Fu quietly made a preset in his mind: no matter if it’s climbing a mountain of swords or diving into a sea of fire, he wouldn’t utter a word of complaint.
The Ginsengfruit continued to pack things up, having heard that the Death Mountain was unusually eerie, he wanted to equip more things to avoid going blind at crucial moments.
The task issuer was also contacted, but on the giant video screen, the person remained with their back to her, clearly unwilling to show their true face.
Yun Ran didn’t mind either, but from the voice, she could discern it was a young person.
The tone revealed satisfaction, "I reviewed Lady Yun’s information, you are the leader of this Xuanmen Competition."
"May I ask, who is it that you want me to find? Additionally, this task was posted over three years ago, those people, I fear..."
Yun Ran actually wanted to say, that person is probably not even reduced to bones by now.
On the other side, the person seemed to understand the underlying meaning and immediately said, "Among them, there is my blood relative, irrespective of life or death, I want to find them.
If you can retrieve their remains, I am willing to offer an additional reward."
They say great rewards make the brave, and Yun Ran was that brave person, initially just wanting to have a look, but now, she must retrieve these people’s remains.
"Then please send me all the detailed information of those you need to find!"
The assistant of the person on the other side, immediately sent over all the related information that had been prepared long before.
Since they sought help from Xuanmen people, they obviously understood some of the Xuanmen’s rules, having prepared the birth information and related photos of those they wanted to find early on.
Yun Ran opened the email and carefully checked the information of these people, there were a total of twelve individuals.
As she looked through, Yun Ran repeatedly calculated the fate and location of these people.
Perhaps it was because from the beginning she had an idea, so when she calculated that the first person was already gone, she was not surprised.
Her focus now was on calculating the location of this person’s death.
Soon, all twelve people’s birth information had been calculated, and a trace of surprise flashed across Yun Ran’s eyes.
The assistant on the other side, seeing Yun Ran pause, knew that she had finished calculating.
If not for checking Yun Ran’s information, given her overly young appearance and rapid calculation pace, he would have thought Yun Ran was making wild calculations. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ novel fire.net
"How is it? Do you have confidence?"
Yun Ran set down the tablet in her hand and looked at the giant screen connected to the video in front of her.
"Before answering your question, I have a question I want to ask you first."
The person who had their back to Yun Ran moved slightly upon hearing her question.
The assistant took a look and understood that the young master was somewhat agitated. If not for concealing his identity, he might have turned around to talk to Yun Ran himself.
Immediately, he said, "Please ask, Lady Yun."
"Before, had anyone else taken this task, and did those people calculate the fate and location of the people to be found before taking the task?"
The assistant didn’t understand why Yun Ran was asking about those previous people, was she worried she’d end up like them, going and never coming back?
But they offered such a high bounty, from another perspective, it’s like they’ve paid a life-buying fee.
He thought, anyone who takes on this task should have this sort of realization, asking this question now seemed a bit late, didn’t it?
Even though he had many questions in his heart, the assistant still honestly answered Yun Ran’s question.
"Naturally it was calculated, they almost all calculated that some people were still alive, and the locations were also calculated, which instilled confidence to go look for them..."
This answer was within Yun Ran’s expectations; those daring to take on this task would definitely not be amateurs.
Now, the situation she calculated was somewhat similar to what the person on the video side had said, indeed, some people were still alive, and the location could be precisely calculated.
If there were no errors in the divination, retrieving these people or their remains wouldn’t be difficult.
Almost instantly, Yun Ran suspected that there was some conspiracy here.
While Yun Ran was pondering, the assistant on the opposite video spoke again, "Is there any other question?"
Yun Ran shook her head, "No more, I’ll take this task. According to the rules, you need to pay a 30% deposit first."
The other side didn’t hesitate; even if worried that Yun Ran would again return without success, the necessary deposit was something they wouldn’t delay.
"The deposit will be credited shortly."
After the video ended, Xin Fu looked at Yun Ran and cautiously asked, "Temple master, did you notice anything odd?"
Yun Ran nodded and then pointed her finger at a map that was placed beside her.
"The locations of these people aren’t in the most dangerous areas, retrieving them wouldn’t be difficult. Those who dared to take on this mission surely have their means for survival.
The Death Mountain is dangerous for ordinary people and Xuanmen individuals with poor skills, but for Xuanmen masters, it shouldn’t be a land of certain death..."
Yun Ran had a vague feeling that those missing people seemed to be a certain kind of bait, luring the Xuanmen masters to go there, trapping them, and consuming them.
Xin Fu’s eyes also looked at the area Yun Ran pointed out earlier.
Uh, how should I put it, just looking at the map, this location is merely on the outskirts of Death Mountain.
If it’s here, Xin Fu felt that, given his skills and abilities, going in and out a few times shouldn’t be difficult.
Only the central area was a place that no one dared to step into.
"Temple master, shall we now..."
"Pack up, and once the deposit arrives, prepare to set out."
"Yes, I’ll go pack up now."
After Xin Fu left, Yun Ran’s gaze again fell on the map of Death Mountain on the table. Though it wasn’t complete, it was enough for Yun Ran.
By noon, the bounty deposit was credited, and at this moment, the Ginsengfruit had already packed several large boxes.
If it were someone else, they might think reaching such an inconveniently located place, these boxes would be nothing but a burden.
But for Yun Ran’s party, this was elementary; just the Little Paperman could easily carry two boxes each.
Xin Fu also quickly got everything packed.
"Temple master, I have confirmed the flight for this afternoon, and people who will pick us up on the other side are also contacted."
