Chapter 154 - 154 They Won't Bite, What Am I Afraid of?
154 They Won’t Bite, What Am I Afraid of?
“Now that you mention it, it does seem like a premeditated scheme! Your Highness, don’t worry. I’ll get someone to investigate. I’ll definitely clear Second Miss Yun’s name.”
“That’s right. We must bring the real culprit to justice!”
…
A few officials echoed and flattered Yun Ran.
To Yun Ran, most of their words were still acceptable, but she really found the way she was addressed as the Second Daughter of the Yun family jarring.
“I’ve long severed ties with the Yun family of the Prime Minister’s Estate. You can just call me Miss Yun Ran or Miss Yun.”
Those officials knew that she had Mo Beiyuan’s support, so they naturally did not dare to neglect her.
They all changed their way of addressing her to Miss Yun Ran and flattered her. Some of them even composed a poem.
Hearing this, goosebumps rose all over Yun Ran’s body. If they had the time, couldn’t they focus on investigating the case?
Since Yun Ran was already here, she offered to take a look at the corpses of the dead that were still stored in the government office.
Mo Beiyuan was originally teasing the little packrat in his arms to her giggle.
Hearing this, he looked up at Yun Ran. “You want to see the corpses?”
Yun Ran’s cherry lips curled up. “Trouble comes from the sky. I can’t help but be curious. I want to know who framed me behind my back and made up such disgusting gossip.”
It was one thing to say that she was a demonic cultivator who killed people, but the culprit even made up something disgusting about her seducing men with her beauty.
If Yun Ran caught him, she would have to beat him up personally to vent her anger.
Mo Beiyuan paused and asked, “Aren’t you afraid that those corpses died strangely?”
Yun Ran felt that her long explanation of why she wanted to see the corpses was done in vain.
He didn’t want to know why she wanted to see the corpses at all. He just wanted to know if she was afraid.
“Ah… I’m not afraid! Corpses don’t bite. What am I afraid of?” Yun Ran muttered softly.
Mo Beiyuan called out, “Gale, bring her to see the corpse.”
“Yes.”
A crisp voice sounded from outside. Then, a black figure appeared outside the hall.
Yun Ran recognized it. The clothes the person was wearing were very similar to those of Thunderbolt’s secret guards, but they were not identical.
Gale?
She seemed to have heard Thunderbolt mention it before.
He was not the only leader of Mo Beiyuan’s secret guards. There were twelve of them.
They were named Heaven, Earth, Black, Yellow, Sun, Moon, Stars, Dawn, Gale, Rain, Lightning, and Thunderbolt.
They were called the Twelve Divisions.
Every division was managed differently and there was a general person in charge. Thunderbolt was the leader of the Eleventh Division, responsible for the safety and security of the Yuan King’s Mansion. Gale was the leader of the Ninth Division, responsible for the transmission and tracking of information from the Dark Divisions.
The Twelve Divisions listened to Mo Beiyuan.
It was an existence that even the wretched emperor was afraid of. Because no one knew how many people there were in the Twelve divisions of the Yuan King. Who were they? Where were they all?
There were also rumors that any one of the Twelve divisions of the Yuan King could withstand tens of thousands of troops.
Therefore, all along, even if the wretched emperor disliked his brother, Mo Beiyuan, he did not dare to touch him easily.
Of course, Mo Beiyuan’s cultivation level was already so high. Even if the wretched emperor wanted to touch him, he had to find a helper who could defeat Mo Beiyuan.
Yun Ran followed Gale and entered the mortuary where the corpses were stored.
She did not stop walking at all. When she looked at the dried corpse, she did not even blink.
Gale seemed to be standing at the side with a cold expression, but his heart was already churning.
Was this Miss Yun that Thunderbolt had described as having chopped off demon beasts’ heads like watermelons? Miss Yun, the one who put the immortal fruits in the sack and gave them away one by one?
