Chapter 1394 - 1390:

Xin Fu directly squeezed past Xie Xuzhi’s personal guards and personally opened the car door for Xie Xuzhi.

Nowadays, he was no longer as naive as before, driven solely by passion and recklessness.

"Director Xie, you’re here~"

The Little Paperman hadn’t seen anyone from Qingfeng Temple for a long time, and suddenly seeing Xin Fu being so worldly-wise was a bit overwhelming.

"Oh, it looks like you’ve been running around outside recently and growing quite fast!"

Even the dullest person should understand the implication in the Little Paperman’s words.

Xin Fu smiled, "If I were still standing still, when the temple master returns, I’d probably be kicked out."

When Xie Xuzhi got out of the car, the Little Paperman swooped down and landed on his shoulder, habitually sitting there and swinging its legs.

Xin Fu: ...

Who would believe that Director Xie, who instilled fear in countless Xuanmen people, seemed more like a mount for the Little Paperman at this moment.

Xie Xuzhi’s personal guards had long since become accustomed to this; often, they were also forced to play with the Little Paperman. Being a ride was nothing.

"Director Xie, are you here to see True Master Huaiyi as well?"

"As well?"

Xie Xuzhi’s tone was steady, yet it imposed considerable psychological pressure on Xin Fu.

To this day, Xin Fu still couldn’t figure out why Xie Xuzhi, who had no Xuanmen skills, wielded such an intense sense of oppression.

"Yes, Director Gu also came, only half an hour before you. He’s over there in the back mountain now."

Gu Yuan came, and Xin Fu still asked the Junior Master if he wanted to see him.

When Xie Xuzhi came, there was no need to ask; just take him straight there. This special treatment was unique in the entire world.

"Gu Yuan came back from the south?"

Not returning to report immediately but heading straight to Qingfeng Temple instead, it seems the time given was too lenient.

At this moment, Gu Yuan didn’t know that because he completed the task early, Xie Xuzhi would later heap more burdens on him, leading to a life of turmoil.

"Lead the way ahead."

Xin Fu promptly led Xie Xuzhi in the direction of the back mountain, while the guards stayed on the necessary path to the back mountain.

The Little Paperman hadn’t returned for a long time, and with other Little Papermen still inside Qingfeng Temple, it naturally wanted to find its companions now that it was back.

Gu Yuan was initially secretly delighted to have received the life-saving wooden token, but seeing Xie Xuzhi enter, his smile vanished instantly.

He’d been caught slacking off at work in real-time, it seemed his run of good luck was over, and he was now on a downward slope.

In his mind, he was considering whether to find some luck charms to put up.

But on his face, he quickly put on a flattering smile: "Boss, I didn’t expect you to come too, if only I’d known sooner, we would have come together~"

Xie Xuzhi ignored Gu Yuan’s awkward topic shift and looked at the Junior Master, bowing slightly, "True Master Huaiyi."

In the entire Capital City, there weren’t many people who received such respect from Xie Xuzhi.

Yet the Junior Master snorted coldly, clearly not very fond of Xie Xuzhi.

Even though Xie Xuzhi was someone the Junior Master had meticulously chosen himself from the start, he often wanted to string Yun Ran up for a beating.

But when Xie Xuzhi and Yun Ran were placed in the same basket, the Junior Master’s heart instantly tilted without boundaries.

"Why aren’t you staying nicely at the manor in the Capital City, and instead came running here!"
