Cannon-Fodder Heiress Turns the Tables by Fortune-Telling-Chapter 854 - 852: You’ve Successfully Advanced?
The matters within the Special Administration Bureau, whether it’s Xuanyuan Yao or Gu Yuan, neither side is hiding anything.
Anyone with some connections can easily find out the truth by inquiring.
Various forces, watching these actions akin to a fierce struggle, couldn’t help but exclaim in wonder.
"They say high-level struggles are fought using the simplest means, and now I truly believe it."
"Who do you think will win in the end? There were no signs before, yet when these two groups made their move, they directly choked each other’s necks."
"Who knows, anyway, it doesn’t matter who wins, it has nothing to do with us; we’d better just sit back and watch the changes."
"But I’ve heard that several retired seniors from the Special Administration Bureau have also been drawn into this.
And the Xuan Sect figures who hold substantial discourse power across various places are all out of contact. It feels like something big is about to happen."
...
The remarks and worries of these people had no impact on the parties involved.
Though Xuanyuan Yao didn’t fully express his emotions, he did feel a twinge of anger that Xie Xuzhi, in such a short period, managed to control the Special Administration Bureau to this extent.
For so many years, he prided himself on having everyone in the palm of his hand; even when Xie Xuzhi was young, he was set up by his people.
Who would have thought, one careless move, and he would cultivate such a big trouble for himself?
Had he known, he should have killed Xie Xuzhi straight away instead of placing him in that position. How would that not have been better?
Now, no matter how regretful, it’s all useless.
At the same time, in the central area of Death Mountain, Xie Xuzhi was entirely unaware that the contingency he left behind earlier really came into play.
Of course, this also counted as a fallback he left for himself.
When he decided to follow Yun Ran here as bait, he had thought through these matters.
"Director Xie, what are you looking at?"
The Little Papermen scoured numerous places and found a lot of good stuff.
Things they recognized, they discreetly kept for themselves; things they didn’t recognize, they just tossed all at Xie Xuzhi’s feet.
Naming it ’finders, keepers,’ even White Tiger got some, who could say they’re unfair!
Xie Xuzhi looked at his hand holding an ancient book that seemed to turn to dust with a bit of force.
His gaze did not shift at all, nor did he lift his head while answering the Little Paperman’s question: "Trying to figure out what’s written on here."
The Little Paperman suddenly lost interest. If it hadn’t been placed together with a jewel that seemed valuable, it wouldn’t have bothered to bring it over.
"Alright then, take your time. I’ll look around to see if there’s anything good around."
Four Little Papermen left two here to watch, supervising White Tiger.
Lest while they’re gone, White Tiger takes a bite out of Director Xie.
If only White Tiger knew what the Papermen worried about; were it aware, White Tiger would undoubtedly jump in protest.
It is a noble Demon King, and definitely wouldn’t randomly eat people.
Moreover, this man (with a disdainful look), what’s worthwhile to consume?
Xie Xuzhi looked at the book in his hand, constantly feeling that the records on it are incredibly important.
Unfortunately, many of the characters on it were unfamiliar to him.
He could only set the book aside, planning to find a specialist to examine it later.
He redirected his gaze to other items accumulated before him by the Little Papermen.
A loud "bang!" sounded.
Before, Xie Xuzhi might have looked up or sent the Little Papermen to check.
But since he emerged from the Demon-locking Tower, such sounds have been frequent, and he’s grown accustomed to them.
Especially knowing that in another part of this underground palace, Dragon Spirit was dismantling suddenly activated arrays with his team.
Xie Xuzhi felt no curiosity and waited patiently here.
White Tiger lay on the ground, yawning widely, having never met someone as dull as Xie Xuzhi.
Except for eating, sleeping, and using the restroom, he can sit in the courtyard all day examining the items around him. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶
Unfortunately, the shackles Yun Ran placed on him are there, otherwise, it would have been free to frolic long ago.
The Little Paperman standing guard, initially performing its duty well on the underground palace’s ceiling.
Suddenly, it flew down, landing on Xie Xuzhi’s shoulder: "Director Xie, I saw Dragon Spirit and his team coming this way!"
Xie Xuzhi showed no reaction, but the nearby yawning White Tiger immediately stood up.
It had heard lots from these Paperman Artifacts before, already aware of Dragon Spirit’s identity.
Although the opponent was temporarily ’one of ours,’ White Tiger instinctively felt wary and resistant.
Having been trapped for so many years, besides those White Wolves always at its side, it didn’t trust any living creature.
Xie Xuzhi stood, glancing at the muscle-tight White Tiger.
He kept silent, as he too did not trust this White Tiger.
Dragon Spirit’s arrival tightens White Tiger’s skin a bit more, which isn’t a bad thing.
Dragon Spirit’s speed was rapid, and upon seeing the Little Paperman, he immediately smiled.
Upon noticing the Little Paperman’s different, more refined image compared to the past, genuine surprise filled Dragon Spirit’s gaze.
"You’ve successfully advanced!!!"
The Little Paperman blinked its big eyes, appearing extremely well-behaved.
But if anyone really believed their cute and charming appearance, underestimated them, they would be in big trouble.
The Little Papermen were quite happy to see Dragon Spirit.
"Dragon King, long time no see, our master helped us advance~"
Dragon Spirit was about to inquire about any news from Yun Ran’s side when he saw Xie Xuzhi standing ghost-like not far away, staring at him.
Dragon Spirit:...
How is it that this person’s aura has changed so much after not seeing him for a while?
Yet upon closer inspection, he couldn’t identify the problem anywhere.
Dragon Spirit naturally didn’t know Xie Xuzhi had formed a Marriage Contract with Yun Ran, sharing some Qi Fortune with her, but his body would be slightly tinged with Xuan Sect’s aura.
But this aura is very hidden, not easily recognized by just anyone.
"Director Xie, long time no see."
Dragon Spirit greeted Xie Xuzhi briefly; if they hadn’t met, it would be fine, but meeting without greeting wouldn’t be right.
Others from the Special Administration Bureau also arrived at this moment.
They thought Dragon Spirit was rushing forward because he had discovered something.
Yet to their surprise, upon arrival, they were greeted by a giant White Tiger with a flawless coat.
Its intangible threat was palpable, chilling to behold.
Especially when White Tiger’s gaze fell upon them, it made their legs feel weak.
