Qin Ran did not bother the undercover trio again after that. He sat in the main seat and quietly read files the whole afternoon, the same way he would read all kinds of books and documents every day at Dan Peak. However, when he was at Dan Peak, his lovely disciple would be sitting beside him.
When it was 5 o’clock, he got up on time, returned the files to Feng Feiyan, and then went straight out the door. There was a sense of clocking out from work on time.
The undercover trio did not really understand why Qin Ran was inactive. After a few more minutes when Yan Yi also left, they moved their chairs together and seriously discussed the issue.
"Elder Qin is very powerful," Feng Feiyan said first.
Ke Yue's sweet little face was solemn as she nodded, "This person looks very gentle, but he is actually tough at heart, his powerful aura makes people unable to breathe. He is quite crafty.
"Do you know that he is the chief of Dan Peak?"
Feng Feiyan shook her head and said, "Although I have to help him purchase spiritual medicines and medicinal materials with Elder Jian every quarter, he lives in seclusion, I had never heard his name at Dao Sword Sect before his personal disciple Li Shiyin became famous." "...Elder Jian personally goes to Dan Peak to deliver medicinal materials and collect elixirs."
"Elder Jian..." Shi Yuan looked at Ke Yue, then at Feng Feiyan, and asked, "Nothing happened to him, right?"
"That's Elder Jian, what could happen to him?" Ke Yue sneered coldly, "I suggest you put away your worries, you know what Elder Jian is capable of."
Shi Yuan seemed to recall Elder Jian's methods, and his attitude instantly became restrained. He said, "I'm just worried about Elder Jian... So what should we do now? If we let that guy surnamed Qin take over as the chief pharmacist, we'll be exposed sooner or later..."
"There's no need to be too nervous either. Although this chief of Dan Peak seems crafty, after all he is just an alchemist who lives in seclusion. Living in seclusion as an alchemist means he must be extremely cautious and timid, he may not necessarily dare to expose us." Ke Yue analyzed.
Feng Feiyan nodded in agreement, "Although he read the files, the recording method in those files was given to me by Elder Jian, he may not necessarily be able to understand them."
When he recalled Elder Jian's methods, Shi Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's not that I'm afraid..." He flattered with a smile, "I'm just worried about Elder Jian... I mean, what if Elder Jian comes back someday and that guy surnamed Qin doesn't return the position of chief pharmacist to Elder Jian?"
"It hasn't been long, Elder Jian has only been away for less than a month..." Ke Yue said, "The elder must have gone herb picking or treasure hunting. A month or two means nothing for a Golden Core cultivator. Their trips can last a year or two. This chief of Dan Peak is only temporarily taking over the position of chief pharmacist."
Feng Feiyan nodded in agreement, "Even if it comes down to the last resort..." The gentle and intelligent Feng Feiyan suddenly said, "If Elder Jian doesn't come back for a long time, or Elder Jian really can't come back, or if Qin discovers something ahead of time, we can still..."
Her gentle big eyes looked at Shi Yuan and Ke Yue, revealing a bit of fierceness little by little, "Kill, silence!"
Qin Ran walked back to Dan Peak leisurely and comfortably. Going to work at the pharmacy made him feel the happy experience of slacking off in his previous life again, putting him in an extremely good mood.
So he couldn't have imagined that the existences that he saw as little lambs actually harbored killing intent towards him.
Of course, it wasn't important either, because no matter how those little lambs frolicked about, they were still little lambs, still little lambs in the sheep pen.
What worried him at the moment was how to deal with that bottomless pit that suddenly popped up.
Or it could be called, a sinkhole? A sinkhole that inexplicably appeared at Dan Peak?
Does the cultivation world have this kind of thing too?
"Shiyin! Chasing the Wind! Qi Qi!" He yelled at the black bottomless pit, afraid that something might have happened to them.
It was as if there was a bug in the world's operating system, the hole didn't fit with the rest of the world, it looked photoshopped in. Seeing it made Qin Ran creeped out.
After a while, only Long Qi Qi responded to him.
Long Qi Qi ran out from the research building. Seeing this strange black hole, she asked Qin Ran, "What weird stuff did you make again?"
"This has nothing to do with me..." Qin Ran looked everywhere for Li Shiyin and Chasing the Wind but didn't find them. He asked, "Where are those two?"
"I've been in the research building all day, how would I possibly know where those two wild kids ran off to?" Long Qi Qi rolled her eyes, "I'm not a nanny to help you take care of your kids."
Qin Ran looked at the pitch-black abyss. It seemed very familiar to him. He suddenly realized and asked Long Qi Qi, "Is it possible that this thing was created by Chasing the Wind?"
"Very likely!!" Long Qi Qi nodded in agreement.
"Youyou..." Qin Ran yelled Tushan Youyou again.
Then Tushan Youyou flew out from the cave abode behind the mountain in a white dress, fairy-like. She came over to this side.
"What's this?" Qin Ran asked.
"It was the ghost made by those two." Tushan Youyou helplessly shook her head, "Chasing the Wind lost control while using his supernatural power, and it became like this. Not only did Li Shiyin go in, Liu Xiaoji also went in."
"Liu Xiaoji?" Qin Ran looked around. Seeing that a small half of Sword Washing Lake was also included by the black hole, he was a little dumbfounded, "It's Chasing the Wind's Dark Supernatural Power, right?!"
"They said it was taught by Ao Yi," Tushan Youyou said.
"Sigh... Why teach little kids such dangerous supernatural powers so casually?"
Qin Ran felt completely lost about what to do. He didn't understand Dark Supernatural Powers at all, so how was he going to deal with this?
He found a wooden stick and stuck it into the black hole to test it out. The stick immediately seemed to have entered another dimension, disappearing without a trace. He hurriedly pulled the stick back, and the stick was completely undamaged.
"When will this supernatural power lose its effect?" He asked Tushan Youyou.
Tushan Youyou shook her head and said, "I don't know... But you'll probably have to find Ao Yi."
"I'm barely acquainted with Ao Yi at all..." Qin Ran shook his head.
Seeing that the wooden stick was fine, he summoned another clone and had the clone stretch its hand into the hole.
The clone stretched out its hand and instantly lost feeling of that section, so he hurriedly pulled back. The hand was still normal.
Qin Ran thought for a bit then stuck his head in. And then...
There was no sign of life, he got sucked in instantly!
"Damn!" Qin Ran blurted out profanity in shock.
Is this thing alive? Did it just ambush him?
But he soon calmed down and concluded: It should be a problem with the whole. When a part goes in, it can come back out, but once the whole gets darkened, it will get darkened and then sucked in.
The wooden stick and his clone were fine, but there was a problem when his head went in, because the soul in the clone's brain is split from his main soul. With the whole soul darkened, it got directly pulled in.
"Does the supernatural power still work?" He tested it with two wooden sticks, and indeed it did. He awkwardly laughed and said, "Are you blind? Can't you see this pitch black hole?"
At the same time inside the dark space, Li Shiyin saw Qin Ran's clone come in and enthusiastically greeted, "Master, you came in too!"
When "Qin Ran" looked over, the two black shadows of Li Shiyin and Liu Xiaoji had already jumped over from the side of the lake bank to mock him.

m back to his original world. In the end, he realized he had overthought things. [Hey, why is Shen Manni, the female lead, acting strange? Shouldn't she be fawning over the male lead at this point?] [Zhou Qiaoqiao, are you sick? Weren't you supposed to break off your engagement today?] [Damn it!

At this moment, Xu Mo himself didn't know that these female leads had already heard his inner thoughts. Then they decided not to play by the rules.

ave】 Shen Qingling was a man with peerless looks, a cunning mind, and the ability to play both the aloof noble and the innocent sweetheart—a master of seduction who could outplay any player. But after an untimely death, he found himself bound to a system and transmigrated into the tragic "true young master" of a melodramatic novel. In the original story, his childhood sweetheart treated him as a backup plan, his fiancée swore to break off their engagement for the sake of the "fake young master," and his own sister saw him as the family's disgrace. He was nothing more than a rat everyone wanted to stomp on. System 077: "Your mission is to change the original fate and conquer the goddesses." Shen Qingling: "Thanks for the invite. If seduction had tiers, I’d be max level." His childhood sweetheart knelt, begging for forgiveness: "Qingling, I was wrong. Please give me another chance." His ex-fiancée refused to marry anyone else: "Shen Qingling, I was blind before. In this life, I’ll marry no one but you." A yandere CEO went mad for love: "Shen Qingling, you can only like me. I’ll stop at nothing to make you mine!" His green-tea sister clung to him daily: "Brother, look at me, won’t you? I’m more obedient than them—I love you the most~" At first, they scorned and trampled on him. Later, they burned themselves like moths to a flame, all for his sake. His looks were his weapon, his sweet words the bait—heroines obsessed over him, villains turned to madness for him. Shen Qingling became a true male siren, igniting battlefield after battlefield of women fighting for his affection. Years later, when System 077—now one of the elites—was asked how to become as outstanding as it, it lazily exhaled a smoke ring and replied: "Just know how to cheer ‘666’ at the right time."
