Chapter 1399 - 1395

Xin Fu opened his mouth, intending to say something, but he suppressed his words and finally said, "Director Xie, I’ll personally go to Five Emperors Mountain and bring Director Gu back!"

"Go ahead. If you need any resources, just apply directly to the local stationed personnel."

Having received approval, Xin Fu hurriedly led his people to Five Emperors Mountain. If this matter wasn’t handled well, Qingfeng Temple might gain a bad reputation.

The little paperman, who was originally playing around with its companions, nearly tore off a companion’s hand when it learned that Gu Yuan had disappeared.

"Whoa, careful there! You nearly took me apart~"

"I can’t be careful right now; Gu Yuan is missing! He got lost in the area sealed by Huaiyi True Master. My god, this is a big deal!!"

"Could it be a crack has developed in that seal over there? It shouldn’t be; we personally tested it at the time, and the cracks were sealed tight."

...

Five or six little papermen chirped and discussed the possible happenings.

Everyone thought that the area sealed by Qingfeng Temple was a huge piece of juicy meat.

But only a few knew that not only was there nothing good there, but there was also unforeseeable danger.

Yun Ran and the Dragon Spirit had initially entered the Gap World from that location.

Xuan Sect people without enough life-saving backup who mistakenly went in would be torn to shreds by the Gang Wind in the Gap, let alone ordinary people.

The Xuan Sect powers that once scoured Five Emperors Mountain all gained unexpected benefits from that so-called clearance.

Only Qingfeng Temple gained little benefit and expended many Magic Artifacts and resources just to seal the crack.

It was thought that the seal would last for a long time until Yun Ran returned, and then they could completely block the crack.

The little papermen, aware of the inside information, now seriously suspected that something changed on the Gap World side.

If their guess was correct, the papermen didn’t dare imagine the potential consequences.

Some of the papermen immediately hugged their heads and wailed.

"Earlier, Director Xie suspected something happened to the master and came to Qingfeng Temple to find Huaiyi True Master. Now with Gu Yuan missing over there, such a coincidence is impossible."

"No way, we must inform Director Xie and Huaiyi True Master immediately. If Gu Yuan was indeed swept into the chaos within that Gap..."

Junior Master used a secret technique and barely calculated the Dragon Spirit’s sole lifeline.

Before even catching his breath, he saw the little paperman staggering in, crying out for help in a panic.

"What’s the matter, what’s the matter, I’ve told you numerous times, don’t be like your master, not a bit stable, the sky is not falling!"

In others’ eyes, Yun Ran was a stable and reliable figure.

But to the Junior Master, Yun Ran was like a rambunctious little monkey capable of causing havoc if not tethered.

"Huaiyi True Master, it’s bad, bad, Gu Yuan has gone missing."

Junior Master: ...

Previously having to clean up Yun Ran’s mess was one thing, and now he had to clean up the mess of Yun Ran’s friends too.

Junior Master suddenly felt truly cursed, himself being unfortunate, and even the Spirit Puppet created for this fictional world was also unfortunate.

"Did that kid go missing while holding the Passage Order?"

The little paperman nodded repeatedly.

"Alright, as long as he’s holding the Passage Order, he won’t die!"

Even if the kid was unlucky and got swept into the leaked chaos in the Gap, as long as he had the Passage Order, he’d be intact.

Surely, Qingfeng Temple’s products weren’t all just for decoration!

Not to mention that Gu Yuan also had the Life-saving Wooden Token I previously gave him.

The little paperman blinked, its mind seemingly reacting just now.

Oh, Gu Yuan went missing with the Passage Order, so there’s no problem.

"Alright, don’t wander aimlessly; quickly take that Xie kid back to the Capital City. As for Five Emperors Mountain, I’ll go personally!"

"Alright, I’ll take Director Xie right away, won’t let him trouble you, the elder."

The little paperman was very aware that Huaiyi True Master disliked people swarming around like ants on a hot pan, running in circles but not accomplishing anything.

Xie Xuzhi sat in the exclusive courtyard assigned to him by Qingfeng Temple, waiting for the real-time updates from outside.

In the blink of an eye, the previously uneasy little paperman appeared before him as if out of thin air.

The personal guards beside him, despite witnessing this scene countless times, still felt a bit uneasy.

Luckily, the little paperman was on their side; had it come from the enemy camp, this level of assassination was something they couldn’t withstand.

The little paperman urgently shouted, "Quick, give me some water~"

Ordinarily, little paper men shouldn’t experience thirst, and shouldn’t act so human-like.

However, Xie Xuzhi showed no sign of surprise, raising his hand and pushing the teacup by his side toward the little paperman.

The little paperman grasped the edge of the teacup with both hands, thrusting its head inside, creating a gurgling sound.

"Ah, comfortable~"

Seeing the little paperman’s behavior, Xie Xuzhi immediately knew that Gu Yuan was likely safe.

Indeed, the next moment, the little paperman appeared revitalized, patting its own belly.

"With Gu Yuan holding the Passage Order, he’ll be fine, at most a bit unlucky, stuck somewhere unable to get out.

Huaiyi True Master said you should return to Capital City, don’t cause more trouble here; he’s going to inspect Five Emperors Mountain himself."

If Junior Master were here to hear the message passed on by the little paperman, he would certainly knock its head.

Although he did indeed mean to disdain Xie Xuzhi for causing trouble, one shouldn’t express it so bluntly, as it would make him lack the bearing of an elder.

Xie Xuzhi’s hand slightly paused as he held the pen.

Being scorned so blatantly was indeed novel, though Yun Ran had occasionally mocked him with sarcasm in the past. Huaiyi True Master had absolutely no reservations.

"I understand."

After speaking this sentence, Xie Xuzhi looked to his personal guard beside him, "Arrange a helicopter and leave tonight."

Having confirmed Gu Yuan was alright, he didn’t need to stay, as for Gu Yuan
