Chapter 584: Chapter 583: Reactions from All Sides (Second Update)
Yun Ran got up very early the next day, put on her custom robe, and the whole person seemed to carry a special sacred aura.
Xin Fu looked at Yun Ran, whose face was calm, only feeling that at this moment, Yun Ran had an inviolable sense of majesty.
He couldn’t help but lower his head, bent his back, and said respectfully, "Temple master, everything is ready."
"Alright, keep a close eye on everything else, if you find anything wrong, go tell Gu Yuan!"
Yun Ran truly excelled in playing the role of a hands-off leader, assigning everything to the people below, only needing to make an appearance herself.
If it were those with a strong desire for power, they would absolutely never treat themselves like a ’mascot’.
But it was Yun Ran, who could do such an outrageous thing without fear of being overthrown.
The Little Papermen were also released by Yun Ran at this moment, blanketing the entire mountain of Qingfeng Temple under surveillance.
If anyone dared to stir up trouble now, they’d let them taste the power of Heavenly Thunder directly!
As the sun rose, quite a few vehicles had already gathered at the foot of the mountain, fortunately, the whole mountain belonged to Qingfeng Temple.
The road up the mountain was made wider, with no hindrance to traffic at all.
Outside Qingfeng Temple, there were people directing at the outdoor parking lot, with no issues of traffic jams or parking difficulties.
Many people knew Yun Ran acquired a very good piece of land, but it wasn’t until today they truly realized it wasn’t just good - it was exceptionally excellent.
Knowing Yun Ran was filled with grievances and might not live long, otherwise, they’d be green with envy.
"Yun Ran’s luck is indeed good; such a feng shui treasure is solely hers."
"Indeed, our previous speculations might be true; Qingfeng Temple must be a Hidden Clan of Xuan Sect, with impressive heritage, otherwise, it’d be impossible to gain fame so quickly."
"Just wondering if those behind Yun Ran will reveal themselves this time."
"So what if it’s a Hidden Clan, they painstakingly cultivated a good seedling, about to come into the light successfully.
But this good seedling plays a good hand at courting disaster, no matter how formidable, when dead, it’s like a candle extinguished, all in vain!"
...
All these sour words reached Yun Ran’s ears, since the whole mountain was under her surveillance.
She may not handle things herself, assuming the role of a hands-off leader, but that didn’t mean she was deaf or blind.
The Ginsengfruit also donned a custom robe at the moment, the style slightly simpler than Yun Ran’s, taking on the appearance of a senior brother.
He deeply felt what it meant to be hectic; if he were a real child, he’d have collapsed from exhaustion by now.
Most people had already arrived, following the directions of signs to find their seats.
At first, people didn’t notice, but once everyone found their seats, they were stunned to discover.
Each person’s seat was meticulously arranged; those with good relationships were seated together, while those with poor ones were separated by great distances.
Even the items placed next to them were things they usually liked; things they disliked weren’t even seen.
People suddenly realized, Yun Ran was just an emerging star, and it was Qingfeng Temple’s first appearance.
Even with backing, it’s terrifying to gauge so many people’s preferences and relationships so quickly.
"Even with the Special Administration Bureau busy with preparations, they couldn’t be this clear on our likes, could they?"
"Sss~ A place managed with such abilities in handling affairs, Qingfeng Temple’s future, if not met with mishap, can definitely secure a place in Xuan Sect!"
...
Those saying these words all had the same thought rise in their hearts, grateful that Qingfeng Temple indeed met with calamity, and the temple master’s days were numbered.
Otherwise, these people wouldn’t be able to sit here and peacefully drink and chat.
Taoist Xia, close to Yun Ran, sat with his family, listening to the subtle voices of relief.
He rolled his eyes again, thinking these people were still too young and didn’t truly know Yun Ran.
Of course, when he first heard Yun Ran was struck by grievances, he was nearly scared to death.
If Yun Ran hadn’t repeatedly assured him over the phone that it was a small problem, he too would not be so calm and viewing others with an amused look.
Daoist Qingmu and Master Jiechen also sat calmly, though they didn’t know exactly what Yun Ran was up to.
But they knew they only needed to trust Yun Ran, and today, they merely regarded themselves as guests to witness the grand opening ceremony of Qingfeng Temple.
Master Jiechen lifted a cup of refreshing juice beside him, drinking cup after cup.
Then he sighed, "Friend Yun truly is lavish, these juices contain some highly effective herbs, great for health."
Daoist Qingmu, on the other hand, was drinking spring water; he didn’t like sweet things, and having aged, he didn’t care for alcohol anymore.
Unexpectedly, the person arranging was so meticulous, placing entirely his favorite items in front of him.
"Being lavish is one thing, her intelligence network is well-connected, and her use of personnel is bold; the old daoist is more eager to meet her sect elders."
"Surely there will be a chance, Qingfeng Temple’s Taoism is all here."
Elsewhere, people from the Sihui Sect arrived early with excitement and some apprehension, seeing the full view of Qingfeng Temple.
A flicker of envy flashed in Du Jun’s eyes; the Sihui Sect was dominant in Licheng, a local powerhouse.
The Sihui Sect occupied a vast area, more than ten times the size of the entire mountain of Qingfeng Temple.
Yet, witnessing Qingfeng Temple’s layout gave him clarity, especially the aura here, which cleared the mind.
This was no mere feng-shui land; it seemed more like a Spirit Gathering Array amassing all beneficial Spiritual Energy.
Living long-term in such a place would immensely benefit one’s body and cultivation.
But his excitement didn’t last long.
Now he naturally aligned himself with Qingfeng Temple’s camp.
The mixed sourness in the words, though appearing to favor Yun Ran and Qingfeng Temple, sounded haughty and grating to Du Jun.
