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

Chapter 34 Isn't this just for beginners? (2 updates)
Yun Ran shrugged innocently: "That's how I walked in."

"Impossible! There are so many people outside, how could no one have stopped you? Besides, I set up an array..."

The old Taoist priest suddenly realized something, stopped talking, and then looked Yun Ran up and down with a look of astonishment.

He asked somewhat uncertainly, "You wouldn't happen to be the outside help the bureau was talking about, would you?"

Yun Ran nodded with a smile: "Yes, if nothing unexpected happens, it should be me."

The old Taoist's expression changed even more, and he even circled around Yun Ran, muttering something under his breath.

"Whose junior are you? You're so young, yet you have such abilities. There are only a handful of people who can enter without breaking my formation."

Yun Ran doesn't possess any of the virtues of not seeking credit, nor does she have any of the perverse pleasures of pretending to be weak to deceive others and then slap them in the face.

He calmly said, "I was the one who first discovered the three-tailed fox here and then informed the Special Administration Bureau."

"It's you!"

Old Master Qingmu is one of the top experts stationed at the Special Administration Bureau's branch near Donghu. He is exceptionally capable, but he is in a somewhat awkward situation at this moment.

They didn't know that there was a sealed three-tailed fox demon in East Lake, they didn't know that the three-tailed fox demon had escaped, and they didn't even know that someone had gone missing.

The Special Administration Bureau has eighteen branches, which seem to be brother units, but the people in each branch are always competing with each other.

When it comes to laughing at other police stations, the eighteen stations are in complete sync.

When they were notified by their superiors that something had happened here, their entire branch office had lost face.

They arrived yesterday, but after searching for a day and a night, they still haven't found the hiding place of the three-tailed fox.

Having no other choice, they requested support from their superiors. Old Daoist Qingmu originally thought it would be Abbot Jiechen from the neighboring branch, but unexpectedly, it turned out to be a young girl.

However, the fact that Yun Ran could easily evade the helpers sent by the special management and effortlessly enter his formation shows that this girl is no ordinary person.

Old Taoist Aoki immediately restrained his somewhat eccentric temper.

If anyone who knew him were here and saw the amiable old Taoist Aoki, they would probably think they had mistaken him for someone else.

"How should I address you, fellow Daoist? I am Daoist Qingmu from the Donglin Branch."

"My name is Yunran, and I am a first-year student at Haicheng Xinghua School."

A hint of surprise flashed in Qingmu Daoren's eyes. If he remembered correctly, ninety-nine percent of the students at Haicheng Xinghua were from wealthy families.

In their circle, there are quite a few people who have taken on wealthy scions as apprentices, but I've never heard of any of them having apprentices who are particularly outstanding.

However, now is not the time to ask about these things. The important matter is that they need to find the three-tailed fox as soon as possible and rescue those who have been captured.

“This Garden of Regret is extremely large. The seal on the Three-Tailed Fox has not been completely broken. To ensure that nothing goes wrong, I need you to guard the back when we find its true form.”

After entering the Garden of Regret, Daoist Qingmu discovered that the garden seemed to have been built to suppress the three-tailed fox demon, and that there was a huge demon-slaying array inside.

The demons suppressed within this formation will be reduced to ashes when the time comes.

He had checked the information, and if things went as expected, the Demon-Slaying Array would completely annihilate the three-tailed fox demon in ten years.

However, someone recklessly altered some of the garden's layout and even dug up some trees, thus disrupting the formation.

The three-tailed fox spirit must have taken advantage of that moment to separate a portion of its primordial spirit and escape.

This demon-slaying formation is extremely complex, and the information passed down from this year is incomplete, so he cannot recreate it. At the same time, because this garden itself is part of the formation, the destruction of the formation also interferes with his investigation, making it impossible for him to find where the three-tailed fox's true form is suppressed.

He dared not easily touch the damaged formation, so he could only set up another formation outside to strengthen the defense.

To prevent the formation from being activated, the three-tailed fox seized the opportunity to escape, and he needed a helper.

"no problem!"

Yunran took out a well-worn compass from her bag, walked around looking at it, and muttered incantations to herself.

Old Taoist Qingmu followed behind Yunran, watching as Yunran accurately dodged the attacks emitted by the Demon Extermination Array each time, and now he had no more doubts.

"It should be below that pool!"

Master Qingmu's eyes lit up. He had previously calculated the approximate location of the pool.

Yunran had just put away the compass when she saw Qingmu Daoren begin to take off his outer robe and twist his waist.

Yunran looked at him with surprise: "Master Qingmu, what are you doing!"

"Go down and catch the three-tailed fox demon. This place belongs to the government. Although we are here to catch the demon, we should try not to cause any damage, so that those people in charge of logistics won't keep nagging us about the tight budget."

Yunran: ...

"Okay, budget is tight" seems to be a common refrain among these departments.

"No need, I have a better way."

Qingmu Daoren watched in disbelief as Yun Ran pulled out another small paper figure from her bag, which even had eyes and a mouth.

Seeing that there were outsiders present, the little paper figure shyly covered its face.

"Go, capture that three-tailed fox demon down there!"

The little paper figure nodded, then with a "hey!" it jumped directly into the water and quickly disappeared from sight.

Master Qingmu stared in disbelief at the scene, and it took him a long time to find his voice: "You actually know the art of paper dolls!"

"What's so strange about that? This is just for beginners."

Yunran swore that she had absolutely no intention of being associated with Versailles; this was indeed the first skill she learned.

At that time, she was young, lazy and didn't like to talk. In addition to studying, she also had to clean the main hall every day.

So, in order to find help for herself, she made a lot of paper figures to help her with the work, which saved her a lot of time. Of course, she also got beaten up a lot for it.

As the two were talking, the little paper figure emerged from the water carrying a white fox that looked like it was on the verge of death.

"Master, this fox is so fierce! It tried to tear me apart, so I beat it up!"

The little paper doll is clearly a fierce fighter, but now it looks all pitiful.

Looking at the three-tailed fox that couldn't move at all, the phrase "getting a good deal and still acting innocent" immediately popped into Qingmu Daoren's mind.

The Taoist Qingmu was somewhat speechless, but he wisely withdrew his gaze, then took out a treasure pouch and put the three-tailed fox inside.

"Thank you very much, young friend Yunran. Leave the rest to me."
