Yun Ran rely cast a casual glance at the Nine-headed Ferocious Beast, and the atmosphere suddenly beca subtly tense.
The Nine-headed Ferocious Beast imdiately turned into a wisp of green smoke and fled, for it was sowhat afraid of Yun Ran’s seemingly calm yet oppressively intense gaze.
Yun Ran didn’t bother with the fleeing Nine-headed Ferocious Beast and closed her eyes to rest.
In the journey that followed, thanks to i Zhang, an elder of the i Family, that originally sowhat domineering aura intentionally or unintentionally avoided them, making the trip extrely smooth.
As the sun was setting, the carriage finally arrived in front of a rather large city.
Above the city gate, a large character "i" was inscribed.
"Master, we have arrived at i City."
At this mont, there were many people entering and leaving the city, and Yun Ran’s carriage, not being very low-key, quickly attracted attention.
When nurous eyes saw that an elder of the i Family was actually sitting outside the carriage, those who recognized i Zhang were utterly shocked.
The "i" of i City is also the i of the i Family, showing their status and prestige here.
Soone who can have an elder of the i Family personally drive the carriage must have a noble identity!
Many people imdiately and voluntarily made way, fearing that one wrong move would provoke soone they should not, bringing imnse trouble upon themselves.
Originally sowhat crowded, the road suddenly beca smooth.
But whether it was Ma San or i Zhang, they were very accustod to this kind of privilege; if people did not make way, that would be abnormal.
With the carriage, they entered the city directly without any pause, not even sparing a glance at the people around them.
Until the carriage completely disappeared from everyone’s line of sight, the human nature of curiosity finally kicked in.
"No one knows what identity the person in the carriage holds to have an elder of the i Family drive personally!"
"Has anyone heard of any influential figures coming around lately?"
"I haven’t heard of any big shots, but I heard that in half a month, Divine Sword Manor will host a Treasure Appraisal Conference; could it be because of that?"
"Brother, I didn’t expect your news to be so well-inford, even knowing about Divine Sword Manor’s events."
...
Very quickly, people’s astonishnt at the i Family’s elder driving for so big shot shifted to the Treasure Appraisal Conference.
Whether they had a tidbit of information or knew nothing at all, the topic quickly beca a heated discussion.
anwhile, Yun Ran was completely unaware of this; the information she knew was very limited.
Not until the sky turned completely dark did the carriage finally stop at a peaceful courtyard amidst the hustle.
Ma San hurriedly brought back the stool and lifted the curtain: "Master, we’ve arrived."
Yun Ran stepped off the carriage slowly, finally looking up at the courtyard before her.
This location, positioned in the center of i City, stood at the very end of an exceptionally quiet alley at this mont.
The long alley housed only this one family, clearly showing that this courtyard occupied an entire street.
This wasn’t achievable just with wealth; it required sufficient power and status.
Upon knowing the city’s na is i City, Yun Ran roughly understood the i Family’s standing here, almost like local tyrants.
She instinctively asked, "Is this the i Family’s courtyard?"
Upon hearing Yun Ran’s words, i Zhang’s eyes would return to normal, as if activated.
When Yun Ran wasn’t speaking to i Zhang, he would appear sowhat dazed.
But as soon as Yun Ran spoke, even without explicit cue, i Zhang could easily distinguish which words were directed at him and which weren’t.
"Master, this is not the i Family’s courtyard."
Yun Ran frowned at once; this courtyard clearly belonged to only the affluent and influential.
If it wasn’t the i Family’s, then it was under the Dark Hall’s na.
Yun Ran wasn’t wearing a black robe at this mont; even with Ma San present, she was unsure if Dark Hall people would buy it.
However, even so, Yun Ran didn’t intend to put on the black robe again.
Previously, she had no choice; in that black robe, she created an extraordinary identity when severely injured.
Now, knowing the real origins of the Black Robed People and witnessing their cruelty, Yun Ran suddenly felt repulsed by the black robe.
From now on, unless absolutely necessary, or if she needs to shift the bla to the Black Robed People, she won’t wear that black robe again.
Ma San, who acknowledged Yun Ran as master, naturally wished to serve her comfortably.
Wearing a mask, Yun Ran’s expressions were hidden, but her mood was still discernible through her aura.
"Master, this courtyard is officially a Xuan Sect Association office and serves as a special base in our region; everyone inside has an official identity."
Otherwise, if i Zhang hadn’t beco a Human Puppet, Ma San wouldn’t have revealed all he knew in front of him.
Upon hearing this, Yun Ran instantly understood.
Everyone operates under dual guises; the good and bad shift with changing stances.
No wonder, through the ages, the organization of Black Robed People continued thriving, maintaining nurous ties with the Xuan Sect Association.
"Let’s go in!"
The identities of those inside, be they humans or specters, are irrelevant, as long as they can be utilized by her.
As for other matters, they can only be managed step by step.
The door was quickly opened, and the person inside, upon seeing Ma San pull out a token, lost their professional smile.
The person hadn’t even had ti to ask Yun Ran’s identity when their gaze fell on i Zhang, standing in the shadows as a backdrop.
The sight nearly made the person scream.
Though they had often encountered this i Family elder at official events, that was through their official identity.
Now, in this setting, eting soone they shouldn’t see, the instinct was to silence witnesses.
Ma San naturally noticed the newcor’s expression, promptly pulling them aside and explaining Yun Ran’s identity.
He also recounted how i Zhang previously provoked, only to be countered.
"Do not utter things that Lord Divine Envoy dislikes hearing; quickly prepare clean als and rooms.
Additionally, keep in mind that Lord Divine Envoy uses the identity of a young master of a prominent family on a training journey; do not address her wrongly!"
The newcor then hid their shock yet intrigued expression.
Imdiately nodding, they feared delaying and turning into Human Puppets themselves.
