Cannon-Fodder Heiress Turns the Tables by Fortune-Telling-Chapter 1103 - 1099: So Warm-Hearted
All of this in front of him made Daoist Changshan somewhat understand why those Dark Masters had rushed to find him earlier.
The things he heard, compared to what he saw and could imagine, were indeed different. ๐๐ป๐ฎ๐ฎ๐ฌ๐๐๐๐ธ๐ซ๐๐ก.๐ฌ๐ธ๐
Unfortunately, even with this, Daoist Changshan was still unable to meet those Dark Mastersโ demands.
Because he truly did not know where Yun Ran was.
Whoo~
Daoist Changshan let out a deep breath: They couldnโt rely on Lord Divine Envoy for everything; they had to rely on themselves!
After firming up this thought in his mind, Daoist Changshan looked at the young man still kneeling in front of him.
"You can get up."
The young manโs eyes, which had been full of pity, suddenly brightened.
He sprang up effortlessly, as if there were springs in his legs.
Just from this movement, one could judge that this young man had quite a good skill.
"What is your name?"
Perhaps because Daoist Changshanโs attitude was rather mild, the young man no longer felt the previous fear.
"Senior, my name is Lou Xu."
Before turning to leave, Daoist Changshan said, "Follow me!"
Lou Xu hurriedly followed, his face full of joy.
Although he was a Dark Master, his aptitude could not compare with others. His only advantage was that his perception was slightly better than the average personโs.
The things he overheard instinctively made him realize something was amiss.
However, when he reported his suspicions to his master, the master did not place much importance on it.
Currently, with the unfolding situation, all the Dark Masters in Lotus City were taking action, but still felt understaffed.
Lou Xuโs discovery might have warranted some attention from his master on a regular day.
But now, everyone wished they could split themselves in half to be more effective. Even if someone was truly plotting destruction, so what?
Their most urgent task now was to find the cause of the lockdown on Lotus City.
Rather than wasting time on other matters.
In the end, Lou Xu could only investigate on his own.
Before leaving, he even received disapproving and disappointed looks from his master and other elders.
Those looks seemed to blame Lou Xu for being inconsiderate.
Knowing well the tight timeframe, heavy tasks, and insufficient manpower, yet still seeking to draw attention.
Did they not realize there was another group with impure motives lurking in Lotus City?
But priorities were set; the most important task was self-rescue, not catching people to prove their sense of justice.
If not for having an open-minded master, Lou Xu wouldnโt have been allowed to separate from the main group and keep watch here.
Watching Daoist Changshanโs back, Lou Xuโs perception, which had always been stronger than most, told him he seemed to be approaching great fortune.
Daoist Changshan did not return to the medical hall but continued to check other street corners.
Back then, Lord Divine Envoy had asked him to have these street corners posted with talisman paper, obviously on guard against something.
And these things must be hidden within these streets.
Following this line of thought, Daoist Changshan could only use the most straightforward method to search slowly.
He believed he would surely find clues.
Soon, the two of them, one leading and the other following, arrived near the inn where Yun Ran had previously stayed.
Initially believing, like before, it was just a glimpse and then leaving,
Daoist Changshan suddenly stopped in his tracks as he looked toward the alley where the Zhou Family once resided.
Because, here, he sensed a trace of the aura belonging to Lord Divine Envoy and the Little Black Paperman.
This is the place!
Lou Xu saw Daoist Changshan pause and stride into the alley, quickly following after.
"Senior, I know about this place..."
Daoist Changshan listened to Lou Xu describe the situation of the Zhou Familyโs alley, his eyes flickering.
The various puzzlements before had now connected.
Lord Divine Envoy must have detected the anomalies in Lotus City from here, prompting swift action.
"You say, many Dark Masters have already checked this place?"
Lou Xu quickly nodded, "Yes, even the inn we passed by earlier is filled with Dark Masters..."
As he spoke, Lou Xu adopted a sneaky demeanor, glancing around cautiously, then deliberately lowered his voice.
Continuing, he said, "Even the Vice President of the Xuan Master Association from Fuhu City has come!"
Hearing this, Daoist Changshan sharply turned his head, "You mean people from the Xuan Master Association in Fuhu City are here too?"
"Yes, I heard someone from this alley spent a fortune to have people come and investigate the oddities here.
In the end, they invited a bunch of novices, and, eventually, sought help from their elders..."
Lou Xuโs talent was mediocre, but he was good at socializing and being humble; otherwise, he wouldnโt have so swiftly pleaded earlier.
As such a person, Lou Xu naturally had a good relationship with everyone in the Xuan Master Association, hence knowing a lot of gossip.
After hearing these previously unknown pieces of information, Daoist Changshan finally sorted it all out.
It must have been when Lord Divine Envoy saved them and then brought them to Lotus City to recuperate.
Thus serendipitously discovering the situation here.
Thatโs why they intervened, preventing further issues.
At this moment, Daoist Changshan did not feel that Lord Divine Envoy did anything wrong.
Nor did he think Lord Divine Envoy should expend themselves for trivial people.
He only felt that Lord Divine Envoyโs willingness to step in was extremely merciful.
If Daoist Changshan expressed his current state of mind to others, he would certainly be deemed insane.
They might even stand on a high moral pedestal, criticizing Yun Ran for being so selfish.
"I see."
Only those who had witnessed the aloofness and disdain for life shown by those Black Robed People would know how compassionate Yun Ran was.
Daoist Changshan, using his own methods, quickly found a trace of special aura in the alley.
Moreover, he vaguely felt that the life force received from the Divine Artifact Fragment had a unique sensitivity to this aura.
With this conjecture, Daoist Changshan couldnโt help but mutter, "Could this be the reason Lord Divine Envoy wanted me to stay here?"
At the thought that this might be a special mission entrusted by Lord Divine Envoy,
Daoist Changshan, whose injury was not fully healed, felt a surge of excitement.
The initial worries and fear of unknown dangers turned into a blazing battle intent.
"Hmph, no matter what evil, as long as Iโm here, they shall not run rampant!"
