The high priest of Yunfeng Village mocked Yun Fengchuan fiercely.
Yun Fengchuan couldn't help but retort.
"High Priest, I don't have the same ambitions as you! Have you ever thought that if their Love Gu succeeds, we will be at a disadvantage in future Gu battles!"
The high priest looked at her like she was foolish. "If we lose, so be it—ten pounds of corn, two old hens, and a pig. Can't we, Yunfeng Village, handle that?"
"Why do you talk about Gu battles like they're all-or-nothing?"
"But if they have bad intentions…"
"What nonsense! We're all law-abiding citizens. It's you who brought a wanted criminal to arrest innocent people!"
"And you're still claiming others have bad intentions? Eating wild vegetables has probably messed with your brain!"
"You…" Yun Fengchuan was irritated.
Why bring up wild vegetables all the time? Sure, I dig them occasionally, but it's just a side dish—I eat other things too!
Seeing Yun Fengchuan at a loss for words, the high priest felt smug.
Back in the day, he was unbeatable in every village! Even the elder sister couldn't beat him!
But it was unfortunate the elder sister didn't follow martial decorum and simply used her fists, leaving him speechless.
Even today, he remembers that lesson.
In these times, one doesn't need to curse. Just hitting the right nerve with words is a skill, so he often practiced "greetings" with netizens from all walks of life.
Just as Yun Fengchuan was about to respond, Yang Dongfang held her back and shook his head.
"Two peak dark powers are involved. There's too much risk—let's retreat."
"...Alright, I understand, Brother Yang."
As Yang Dongfang and the others slowly backed away, footsteps came from behind.
Turning around, Yang Dongfang widened his eyes.
"Girl with the smile?!"
"It's you!"
He saw Wang Haoran and the transformation master, with Wang Yuxiao tied up tightly beside them.
Yang Dongfang's heart sank. "What did you do to my disciple?"
"What else could I do? He's dead!"
"You…"
Seeing Yang Dongfang's anger, Wang Haoran ignored him, glancing curiously at Yun Fengchuan.
In the original storyline, Yun Fengchuan was a villain who met her end at Lin Ming's hands because of her schemes against Yun Ling'er.
Yang Dongfang wasn't supposed to be involved with her in this way.
In past lives, Yun Fengchuan was always with Yang Dongfang, but Wang Haoran had never encountered someone like Uncle Artai until now.
This unknown factor didn't matter much to him now, though. As long as he could use them.
Back at the village, Yun Ling'er had deliberately hinted at finding a training partner, stirring a sense of urgency in Yun Fengchuan, who couldn't resist taking action.
Then, with the arrival of Xia Xinyan and Liu Yunshuang, Wang Haoran had Uncle Artai place tracking bugs on them.
Wang Haoran and Yun Ling'er controlled the Gu bugs, containing them in a jar, and sent Lao Mo to lure Yang Dongfang and Yun Fengchuan out.
This left Wang Haoran free to confront Lin Ming.
Yang Dongfang and the others, thinking they were lying in wait, were actually the ones surrounded.
Lin Ming still had a fifty-point protagonist halo, so Wang Haoran prioritized eliminating him.
Thinking of the process of killing Lin Ming, Wang Haoran still had lingering fears, but not because of the enemy, but because of Xia Xinyan and Liu Yunshuang.
...
A few moments ago
After monitoring Yang Dongfang and Yun Fengchuan leaving, Wang Haoran took Luoluo, Yun Ling'er, Xia Xinyan, and Liu Yunshuang to find Lin Ming.
Originally, Wang Haoran didn't want Xia Xinyan and Liu Yunshuang to follow, but they insisted, and Yun Ling'er agreed.
As for Lao Mo and several bodyguards, they were sent to draw Yang Dongfang and Yun Fengchuan away, giving Wang Haoran an opportunity to confront Lin Ming.
However, what Wang Haoran didn't expect was that, as soon as he entered the room, he saw Wang Yuxiao, who was sitting on a chair and wandering around.
Sensing the danger, Wang Yuxiao quickly took out a pistol and pointed it at Wang Haoran.
Unfortunately, before she could pull the trigger, Luoluo kicked her in the chest. She was knocked away, crashed through the bamboo wall, and fell outside the house.
Under Luoluo's command, Yun Ling'er and Liu Yunshuang suppressed Wang Yuxiao heavily, while Xia Xinyan found a rope and tied her up tightly.
Maybe Luo Luo kicked her too hard, as Wang Yuxiao was dazed until she was tied up and couldn't move at all. She came back to her senses, spat out a mouthful of blood, and shouted angrily.
"Who are you?"
But no one answered her.
Wang Haoran and Luoluo had already walked toward Lin Ming, who looked frightened.
As for the three girls, Yun Ling'er, Xia Xinyan, and Liu Yunshuang, they smiled meaningfully around Wang Yuxiao, who was twisting on the ground.
Inside the house, Lin Ming panicked.
His vision had partially recovered, and coupled with the warrior's perception, he already had a rough idea of what happened.
He saw two figures approaching him menacingly and was so frightened that he picked up a bench and waved it.
"Don't come over here!"
"My master is very powerful. It's not too late for you to leave now!"
"Retreat! Retreat! Retreat!"
Seeing Lin Ming dancing, Wang Haoran couldn't help but laugh.
Every time he faced death, he looked like this!
Of course, Wang Haoran did not dare to claim that if one day he faced certain death, he would perform better than Lin Ming.
So to avoid this situation, Wang Haoran could only continue to accumulate strength so that nothing could threaten him.
Seeing the figures so close at hand, Lin Ming finally collapsed in despair.
He clenched his fists and punched Wang Haoran desperately.
Unfortunately, Wang Haoran was faster and kicked him in the chest, causing him to fall to the ground and vomit blood.
Before Lin Ming could say anything, Wang Haoran added a few more touches.
Looking at Lin Ming, who was lying on his back with weak breath, Wang Haoran took out his pistol.
At this moment, Yun Ling'er, Xia Xinyan, and Liu Yunshuang also dragged Wang Yuxiao in like dead fish with smiles.
Seeing Wang Haoran aiming at Lin Ming's head and preparing to shoot, Xia Xinyan and Liu Yunshuang suddenly spoke.
"Wait a moment!"
