CHAPTER 773: CHAPTER 771: THERE’S SOMETHING EERIE ABOUT THIS PLACE

What do you mean by she’s used to smooth sailing? Just because she has good talent and high achievements, does that erase her efforts and hardships?

The success seen by outsiders is never achieved easily. There are plenty of talented people, but effort and mindset are indispensable.

As for Yun Ran, it’s already good that she’s not a hypocrite. Now she’s been treated that way, if she doesn’t retaliate, she surely won’t be able to sleep at night.

She immediately crossed her arms, with a ’what nonsense are you talking about’ expression, looked at the temple master opposite.

"If you’re jealous, just say it. Talking about this and that, you’re the joke here!"

Since the other party dared to provoke her, she couldn’t be blamed for tearing off their facade directly.

What nonsense, can’t be seen, only scheming secretly, yet saying others are inferior, bah!

The temple master, showing only his eyes, was truly hit in the sore spot when Yun Ran accused him of being unseen.

However, he wasn’t the type who would lose control over being provoked.

If it were someone more impulsive, they might indeed want to stand up for themselves and take off their black robe.

After all, Yun Ran and Xie Xuzhi are already in their palms, and this is their main altar, coming in means not getting out.

In front of those marked for death, showing their true face isn’t a big deal.

But this temple master, having stood out among many adopted orphans and become one of four temple masters, his mindset wasn’t ordinary.

He did have some faint jealousy just now but wouldn’t lose his composure.

"Master Yun is still as eloquent, but unfortunately, ginger gets spicier with age."

Without making the other take off the mask, Yun Ran didn’t mind. The original intent was just for retaliation, making the other uncomfortable already achieved the effect.

The other Black Robed People surrounding Yun Ran’s group, though Yun Ran and her comrades were ’captives,’ deep down, they were still somewhat wary of the conscious Yun Ran.

No one foolishly rushed up at this moment, clamoring to teach Yun Ran a lesson.

Obviously, those who come here have a brain and know how to restrain their emotions.

The temple master glanced at Yun Ran and said calmly, "Since you’re awake, let’s go. Follow along, don’t play tricks.

This is our territory. With just the three of you, wanting to leave here is wishful thinking. Cooperate well, and you can suffer less."

Xie Xuzhi, from initially swaying, now adapted and stood stably (pretending)

He glanced at Yun Ran and slightly nodded.

Only then did Yun Ran reluctantly say, "Lead the way, I want to see what you actually plan to do!"

The path they entered through before had only one tunnel, they couldn’t go wrong even with eyes closed.

But now, where they’re standing is a junction, along with the tunnel they came from, there are eight paths in total.

The temple master glanced at the several Black Robed People who brought Yun Ran’s group here.

His tone was slightly indisputable, "You go out first, wait outside!"

Letting them walk to here was already a sign of trust, the remaining road, these people weren’t qualified to tread.

The others had no objection, but Yan Ming was a bit anxious, not being by the young miss’s side, unable to pave the way with his life.

However, at this moment, he had no right to speak, couldn’t even say a word of objection.

Yun Ran snorted coldly, her eyes scanning over those people, seemingly wanting to remember them all to settle scores later.

In reality, Yun Ran took this chance to blink at Yan Ming, signaling him to obediently retreat.

Yan Ming could only turn around with concerns.

Returning to the tunnel they came in from, someone beside him patted Yan Ming’s shoulder.

"For us to walk here, that’s already the upper ranks valuing us. Don’t be disheartened, there will definitely be more chances in the future."

Yan Ming felt a sudden jolt, without the black robe concealing, he hadn’t noticed his expression management.

Luckily, the other party self-conjectured other things, smoothing it over.

Looks like he needs to be careful, at least, more cautious, don’t expose at this moment.

Yan Ming immediately showed a bitter smile, pretending to accept the other’s comfort.

"I’m fine, just didn’t turn the corner for a moment. I’m over forty, almost at the door only to be knocked back, the thought... sigh..."

Yan Ming portrayed the frustration of an unfulfilled person vividly.

Most Black Robed People have a sense of discontent with unrealized talents, so Yan Ming used this excuse, easily evoking empathy and trust.

"No worries, men at forty bloom like flowers, it’s the time to break through, more good opportunities await us."

Adjusting his state, Yan Ming quickly left the tunnel with the others.

And Yun Ran’s group, following that temple master, didn’t seem like captured prisoners, rather like visitors touring the place.

Xie Xuzhi originally thought they would be required to cover their eyes, who could have thought that temple master didn’t even mention it.

Ginsengfruit seriously explained to Xie Xuzhi, "Xuanmen people don’t necessarily use only their eyes to see things, especially Xuan Sect experts with superior abilities.

They can directly open Heavenly Eyes, let alone covering eyes, even if it’s a blind person, they can ’see’ the surrounding situation clearly."

Although Ginsengfruit wasn’t specific, Xie Xuzhi subconsciously thought of Taoist Xia from Huannan.

In the past, he hadn’t paid much attention to these people’s abilities. Apparently, there’s so much to it.

Sure enough, there’s a significant difference between laymen and experts.

The temple master walking ahead didn’t stop Xie Xuzhi and Ginsengfruit’s conversation. To him, as long as people are brought away smoothly, that’s enough.

Even though he had seen the video of Yun Ran and Xie Xuzhi vomiting blood with his own eyes, deep down he was still reluctant to confront them.

They didn’t know how long they walked for, this tunnel was noticeably narrower than before, even the color of the stone walls changed.

Yun Ran knew clearly that they had entered deep into the Death Mountain, deeper than she previously ventured.

The surrounding atmosphere also underwent significant changes. For instance, the previous tunnel only felt vast, but now this tunnel vaguely gives a sense of threat.

It even feels like something is watching them, exposing their every move quite plainly.

"This place is quite eerie, be careful!"
