The fortune telling was so accurate that I accidentally accumulated a huge amount of merit!

Chapter 1164 Shifting the Blame Early (2 Updates)
When it comes to shifting blame, it's crucial to do it early, and ideally before anyone notices.

The reason for the compensation was simply because they were caught red-handed, and Yun Ran herself was present at the scene.

When dealing with external parties, especially when it's necessary to maintain a certain image, Yun Ran must be a respectable person, and compensation is a necessary expense.

But in reality, Yunran is not someone who likes to suffer losses.

Given the right time and circumstances, Yunran could absolutely portray herself as a perfect victim.

By shifting the blame, she's being kind; otherwise, she would have definitely tried to extort... no, demand compensation from the other party!
The man downstairs looked up in Yunran's direction, and when he heard Yunran's question, he seemed to freeze for a moment, like a machine.

He thought he was quite smart, so why was he a little unaccustomed to the breadth of the cloud-dyed problem?

When Yunran discovered him, shouldn't she be angry and question him about why he was waiting for her downstairs?
Many questions flashed through the man's mind, but Yunran's question was subconsciously placed at the top.

Without even carefully considering why Yunran would ask that question, he didn't even give it much thought.

His mouth involuntarily began to answer: "That bird isn't my responsibility. I'll go ask about it right away."

As soon as he finished speaking, the man regretted it; it wasn't his responsibility to begin with.

His only responsibility was to monitor Yunran's actions and, when necessary, to visit and contact her.

Now, he's skipping his post to ask Yunran about that bird.

The man felt a little annoyed, thinking that Yun Ran was probably poisonous; otherwise, why couldn't he refuse her request?
Watching the man walk dejectedly towards the backyard, Yun Ran's lips curled into a smile.

Huh~
Even those on the opposing side can't escape being bossed around by her!
It feels so good to get something for free!
The man returned quickly, and this time, he was noticeably faster. Yun Ran could even see the unease on his face.

That's right, Yunran's eyesight is just that good; she can see things clearly even from a great distance.

The man hurried upstairs.

A moment later, there was a knock on Yunran's door.

As soon as the door opened, she saw a hint of embarrassment and guilt in the man's eyes: "Miss Yun, your bird has gone out, but someone is following it, so don't worry."

That's exactly what Yunran wanted to hear; now, the responsibilities and powers are clearly defined.

Previously, these people were worried that Erdan would lose his temper again, and kept saying that Erdan needed them to keep an eye on him, and Yunran agreed.

Now that Erdan has someone with him, if he causes trouble again, she definitely won't be the primary person responsible.

"Okay, I got it. I was just asking casually."

The man instinctively felt that Yun Ran was definitely not asking casually, but he couldn't guess what Yun Ran really meant.

In the end, they could only watch helplessly as Yunran closed the door.

Meanwhile, the commotion at the city gate grew even louder.

Originally, those who clamored to teach Erdan a lesson, or even arrest him to boost their performance, were just making empty threats.

But now we see the ginseng fruit standing up, even holding a magical artifact in its hand.

That’s okay!

In their view, the ginseng fruit's actions were a blatant provocation.

"How dare you! You mere Daoist disciple, where do you get the audacity to stand up and provoke us like this!"

"You brat who hasn't even grown a full beard yet, get back right now! We'll let it slide because you're still young, otherwise... humph!"

"Hand over the bird behind you!" "Yes, hand it over!"

……

The increasingly loud shouts nearly caused the situation to spiral out of control.

The young men who were responsible for watching over and feeding Erdan were now deathly pale.

They truly hadn't expected that Erdan could provoke such public outrage right under their noses.

Moreover, that young Taoist disciple instigated this conflict.

They have no control over the current situation.

One of them, sensing something was wrong, quickly gave his companions a look, telling them to stay and keep watch while he went to call for reinforcements.

They weren't under the same superior as the people at the city gate, so there were many things that couldn't be compromised on, nor were they easy to compromise on.

Perhaps it was because Erdan had pierced through those tree stumps covered in iron so easily that it gave these clamoring people a bit of a shock.

So much so that, despite the tense situation, not a single person rushed forward to take down Erdan.

Clearly, everyone here thinks they're smart and is waiting for someone else to rush in first, thus wearing down Erdan's strength.

Finally, they can wait behind and reap the benefits.

The people responsible for maintaining order at the city gate went from being stunned to realizing that the situation was out of control in just one or two minutes.

Normally, these people are somewhat arrogant and domineering.

But now, none of them dare to rush forward and roar at the people around them.

Neither the somewhat frightening-looking bird nor the crowd opposite them, whose emotions had been stirred up, wanted to care about anything.

To put it bluntly, they don't want to take on responsibilities that aren't theirs.

Ignoring this kind of disruptive behavior is, at most, a dereliction of duty on their part.

But if they take charge, and something unexpected happens during the process, or they themselves are unlucky, then the responsibility will fall entirely on them.

Everyone has their own plans, and their own little schemes are running wild.

This has led to the current situation where there is much clamor, yet there is also a subtle standoff.

Fortunately, people from a nearby service center rushed over.

Looking at the dense crowd surrounding them, the person in charge felt as if everything went black.

Good heavens, he must have had the worst luck imaginable. Why did he have to encounter such a huge problem while he was on duty?
Feeling angry, the person in charge of the service point immediately started cursing: "What are you all doing? Are you just bored and have nothing better to do?"

If you're really that bored, go sweep the streets! You're causing me trouble; believe me, I'll revoke your association's invitation!

Moonflower City is usually quite lively, but most of the people here are regulars who know the rules well, so they don't cause much trouble.

During this period, due to the selection competition, many people came to Moonflower City for the first time.

Many of them repeatedly make the same mistakes, and mild punishments are of little use to them.

The only way to threaten them is with their association's invitation; it works every time.
