The Ginsengfruit immediately spoke with righteousness: "Host, you’re right, our Qingfeng Temple is indeed the Xuan Sect model, and we should earn more good reputations.
In this way, whoever hears of Qingfeng Temple will be in awe and aim to become the number one Xuan Sect in this world as soon as possible!"
As he spoke, the Ginsengfruit nodded firmly, clenching his fists tightly as if cheering himself up. Anyone seeing him would not doubt his determination.
Turns out, after speaking for so long, saying Little Martial Uncle three times is more effective.
Yun Ran didn’t understand; initially, Ginsengfruit was just an inconspicuous magic artifact and hadn’t interacted with Little Martial Uncle. Why is he so afraid of Little Martial Uncle?
"Are you really that afraid of Little Martial Uncle?"
At the mention of Little Martial Uncle, the Ginsengfruit felt uneasy and couldn’t help but look at Yun Ran with a resentful gaze.
"Host, have you forgotten that at the time, you hadn’t even discovered my true form, but Little Martial Uncle sensed something was off and came to ask you for me? Follow current novels on NoveI~Fire.net
He had that look in his eyes that seemed eager to melt me down. How could I not be afraid?
When you pulled out the grass he planted in the back mountain, he chased you with a sword and leveled a small hill, and I still remember your embarrassed fleeing appearance.
Also, your Little Martial Brother stole your master’s treasure intending to refine it, and was caught by Little Martial Uncle.
He was stripped down to his underwear and hung beside the furnace, screaming wildly, nearly roasted..."
If Yun Ran was a naughty kid, then Little Martial Uncle was the great demon king. Whoever falls into his hands is bound to suffer.
The Ginsengfruit felt he was unworthy to be compared with the host and her peers, after all, they and Little Martial Uncle shared a thin thread of uncle-nephew bond.
But he, in Little Martial Uncle’s eyes, was an aberration. When he’s obedient and sensible, Little Martial Uncle might turn a blind eye.
But if he ever showed a rebellious streak, Little Martial Uncle would be the most excited one, chanting ’Aberrations must be eliminated,’ and openly cutting him down!
As the Ginsengfruit spoke, Yun Ran suddenly recalled the past of being beaten by Little Martial Uncle...
Neither she nor the other senior brothers and sisters were mindful of beatings, only remembering the lessons.
Now, they have some power to resist and nearly forgot about these past beatings.
Being openly spoken by the Ginsengfruit, Yun Ran felt a bit embarrassed and thought she should strive to regain some lost face.
"You can’t really say that. Back then, we went too far, and Little Martial Uncle’s reprimand was deserved.
Now that we’ve grown and matured, Little Martial Uncle won’t easily lay hands on us anymore. He cares for me a lot, or else he wouldn’t have gone through such difficulty to find me..."
As she spoke, Yun Ran’s voice gradually softened, becoming uneasy.
Previously, Little Martial Uncle’s Spirit Puppet was half-damaged and couldn’t possibly beat her up, but now, the Qingfeng Temple’s lineage has established itself in the world.
Little Martial Uncle’s Spirit Puppet will soon be restored to normal, and she’s sure to get a beating.
Even without seeing Little Martial Uncle yet, she can imagine when the time comes, Little Martial Uncle will surely be beating her.
While scolding her ’Have you finally satisfied your desire for trickery, now ending up in the Otherworld, are you happy now!!!’
Thinking of this, Yun Ran inexplicably felt a chill on her neck.
Both the host and the sect sighed together, realizing they would soon face a miserable experience.
Just then, Xin Fu returned, seeing Yun Ran and Ginsengfruit looking listless, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
"Temple master, did something happen?"
The previously listless Yun Ran, upon hearing Xin Fu’s words, immediately revived her ’vitality.’
"Nothing, did you find everything I asked you to investigate?"
Switching to business, Xin Fu’s mind quickly shifted from his earlier surprise and confusion to the information in his hands.
"It’s all been found, everything is here."
Yun Ran took the information and began reviewing it. These documents were special files not found anywhere online or recorded on any computer.
After flipping through, Yun Ran furrowed her brows: "Are you sure all the information is here?"
Xin Fu nodded: "These are special paper documents, I’ve compared them with those people’s information, there should be no discrepancies."
Only then did Yun Ran set the documents down. The details here were of the people they were rescuing this time.
According to the mission issuer’s emails, they were to rescue twelve people, and the information here was the entirety of the data after those twelve entered Licheng.
Due to their special identities, their travels were specially approved, with relevant data existing only in paper form.
"Temple master, is there something wrong with these files?"
Yun Ran flipped to a certain page in the information: "If I’m not mistaken, there seems to be a missing page here.
But comparing it to the previous emails, both the number of people and related items matched..."
Xin Fu quickly picked up the documents to review, then looked at the previous and next pages, feeling a bit embarrassed as he couldn’t really find anything wrong.
Yun Ran didn’t blame Xin Fu for his lack of observational skills; her deduction was based on subtle data changes, without concrete evidence.
"According to data provided by the mission issuer, these people originally came here for scientific exploration.
But now, I feel like they’re not here to find something, but to put something in!"
Xin Fu looked more closely at the relevant documents and eventually also noticed a slight discrepancy.
"Temple master, are you saying their resource consumption seems off!"
Having trained outside for years, sometimes fluctuations in material consumption are normal, so no one suspects these figures.
But these individuals were under the guise of scientific exploration; such organizations handle data meticulously, unlikely to mishandle this casually.
Xin Fu’s mind entered a brainstorming mode, considering countless possibilities...
"Let’s set aside this concern for now, we’ll figure it out once we get there. For now, go and coordinate with those from the Sihui Sect who are joining us, you’ll manage them going forward."
Fang Yu is definitely coming along; he has a good relationship with Xin Fu, making Xin Fu the best choice for managing them.
"Understood, I’ll coordinate right away!"
Xin Fu left, and only then did Ginsengfruit approach and pick up the documents to review.
After finishing, Ginsengfruit spoke: "Host, are you suspecting someone initially survived just as part of the trap?"
"Boldly hypothesize, cautiously seek evidence; when our lives are on the line, we must be vigilant!"
