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

Chapter 1270 The Innocent Dragon Spirit

The dragon spirit's perception far surpasses that of humans, so Chi Yao only had a slight doubt and his emotions fluctuated for a moment.

In addition, she already disliked Chi Yao, and this guy was sitting so calmly next to Yun Ran, as if they were on the same side!

Long Ling glared at her directly: "What are you looking at!"

His tone was fierce, as if he was about to give Chi Yao a good beating at any moment.

Chi Yao now truly felt the intense malice emanating from Long Ling. His eyes narrowed slightly, and no one knew what he was thinking or planning.

Suddenly, a heart-wrenching roar came from downstairs, as if trying to suppress all other sounds!

"Twenty magical artifacts, plus five portions of rare and precious materials!!!"

The sound also affected the people on the second floor, and the subtle atmosphere between Long Ling and Chi Yao instantly dissipated.

Both of their gazes turned to the ground floor.

Long Ling then realized that the place where he tore open the passage was actually an auction.

"Holy crap, what kind of thing is being traded using magical artifacts and rare treasures! Are these people stupid?!"

Long Ling thought that after he expressed his opinion, at least Yun Ran would agree with him, after all, he had never seen a richer person who was stingier than Yun Ran.

However, after waiting for several seconds without any response, Long Ling looked at Yun Ran with curiosity.

That was exactly what met Yun Ran's somewhat embarrassed and speechless expression.

For some reason, Chi Yao suddenly burst out laughing and pointedly gestured for Long Ling to look at the lantern on the windowsill.

Dragon Spirit: ...

Oh no, what he just said hit Yunran right where it hurts.

Don't ask him why he's so sure; this sky lantern definitely belongs to Yunran.

The answer is simple: no one understands Yun Ran better than him. Don't let Yun Ran's stinginess fool you; when it comes to making important decisions and standing out, no one can rival Yun Ran.

Once the words were spoken, there was no going back. Long Ling's eyes darted around, and she immediately tried to salvage the situation.

"It's only because of you, Yun Ran. If it were me, I would have given those people a good thrashing long ago. How could I let them have the chance to cause you any trouble!"

After saying that, Long Ling even raised his claws to show that what he had just said was true!

Feeling that the atmosphere had eased a bit, Long Ling continued, "What is it that so many people are fighting over? Let me see."

After saying that, Long Ling strode toward the window. On the way, she felt that the spirit of the small building was getting in the way, so she reached out and pulled it aside.

Throughout the entire process, the spirit of the small building didn't move an inch, nor did it dare to show even the slightest dissatisfaction.

What happened today was enough to reshape the worldview of the spirit of the small building.

From the moment he gained sentience, he has always been the one swaggering around, bullying others, and even looking down on everyone else.

If it weren't for the array suppressing him, the spirit of the small building would probably have already run away and caused all sorts of trouble.

At that time, he always felt that he could crush everyone else and was the guardian of the Divine Sword Manor.

But after today, he finally understood his true position; the outside world was far too dangerous. He had a feeling that any random person could cost him his life.

Forget it, forget it. From now on, he'll just stay quietly in the small building and never think about going out to join in the fun again.

No one knew that, in this very interlude, the spirit of the small building had already completed its self-reconstruction and repositioning.

Long Ling peeked out slightly and immediately spotted the small cauldron placed on the platform.

"Hey, this cauldron looks so similar to the one we picked up before, but this is a mini version."

When Long Ling said this, she did not hesitate or hide anything because of the presence of Chi Yao, an outsider.

Ultimately, it was his subconscious trust in Yun Ran that made him feel so much dislike. If this guy hadn't been somewhat trustworthy, he probably wouldn't have been able to even get close to Yun Ran.

Long Ling quickly realized that Yun Ran probably recognized the cauldron as being very similar to the one in the temple, which was why she was willing to light a sky lantern to take a picture of it.

Now, he no longer felt like he had lost out.

He walked back in a few steps, sat down in the empty seat not far from the window, and started to rummage through his savings.

While rummaging through his things, he muttered to himself, "Since we're going to light the sky lanterns, we should give these people a little shock. Let's smash them to death with our magic weapons, so that from now on, when they think of you, all they'll remember is 'richer than a country'!"

Long Ling led the Special Administration Bureau personnel to successfully complete the mission at the Death Mountain, and Yun Ran had no idea how much benefit he had gained from it.

Unexpectedly, now, just to save face for Yunran, they are actually willing to take it out.

After the dragon spirit appeared, Chi Yao rarely spoke, and those scrutinizing gazes disappeared.

From Long Ling's chattering and the way he was taking things out, he finally understood that this guy had also been completely fooled by Yun Ran.

Just like he was back then, he willingly let Yun Ran take a lot of his savings.

A feeling of shared misfortune suddenly arose within Chi Yao, and when he looked at Long Ling again, his gaze carried a hint of closeness that he himself was unaware of.

"This should be enough, right?"

Long Ling filled the tea table next to him before stopping his rummaging.

His face was full of self-satisfaction, just waiting for Yun Ran to express her gratitude to him.

Yun Ran pointed to one of the magical artifacts and said leisurely, "This thing, I seem to remember, was given to me by He Tu as payment. I didn't take it and told him to take it back. Now can you tell me why this thing is in your hands?"

Long Ling's expression froze on her face.

Oh no! I got carried away and completely forgot about this thing. Yunran had seen it before!

Long Ling wanted to brush it off, but it was clear that if he dared to fool Yun Ran when she wanted to take it seriously, Yun Ran would really dare to cut him with a knife.

Faced with the choice between suffering for herself or for others, Long Ling decisively chose the latter.

He blurted out, "Xuan Chu did all this. He was in charge of protecting you at the time and suspected that He Tu was disloyal, so he kept all the things that He Tu sent him to check if there was anything wrong with them."

I didn't know at first. After confirming that the things He Tu sent were fine, I kept them with me for now, waiting to return them to him the next time I saw him.

It's quite remarkable that Long Ling could come up with such an excuse in such a short time, and even drag Xuan Chu into it, making himself seem exceptionally innocent.
