Enchanting celestial music, amidst the thick aroma of sandalwood incense.

A familiar voice came from inside.

Hearing this voice, Ye Ran asked tentatively with an incredulous look:

"Duobao??"

"Call him Daoist Duobao!!"

The voice immediately corrected Ye Ran's mistake.

Then, a dark figure slowly crawled out of the smoke.

It was Duobao, who was staying at Ye Ran's house...

Ye Ran looked at Duobao in front of her.

At this moment, Duobao was wearing a Taoist hat that he had found somewhere.

The crown shimmered with a soft, flowing light.

It even stayed on Duobao's hairless turtle head and didn't fall off.

besides,

On Duobao's tortoise shell, a Bagua formation diagram appeared at some unknown time.

In addition, a purple-gold Taoist robe specially designed for turtles,

It exudes a strong Taoist atmosphere...

Ye Ran looked at the tortoise in front of him, and the corner of his mouth twitched involuntarily:

"Duobao, what have you been up to all these days?"

Upon hearing Ye Ran's question, Duobao immediately perked up:

"Haha, fellow Daoist, what a good question!!"

Then, it pretended to stretch out two claws and imitated the Taoist practice of making finger gestures, looking extremely laborious and clumsy:

"After you left, I felt a little bored, so I started to study Taoist culture, hoping to trace my roots and find clues about my past life."

"As a result, after searching for Taoism only twice, my phone was filled with Taoist-related content."

As he spoke, Duobao smiled helplessly: "It seems that my connection with Taoism is so deep that even reincarnation cannot sever it."

Listening to Duobao's speech,

Ye Ran was devastated.

Subsequently,

Ye Ran subconsciously glanced again at Duobao's belongings and the sandalwood incense smoke filling the room.

Suddenly, a bad feeling welled up in Ye Ran's heart.

"Duobao...have you joined some Taoist cultural exchange organization?"

Hearing Ye Ran's question, Duobao's small eyes sparkled:

“Hey, Fellow Daoist Ye, how did you know? That’s right. When I was browsing Taoist culture, some fellow Daoists added me. One of them, Master Yangyang, was extremely enthusiastic and pulled me into a private Taoist cultural exchange group.”

As he spoke, Duobao proudly patted his Taoist temple:

"I am currently the honorary vice chairman of the Taoist Private Cultural Exchange Organization."

Listening to Duobao's words,

Ye Ran took a deep breath.

He immediately stood in front of Duobao and extended his hand:

"Take it out!!"

"What??"

Give me my phone!

Ye Ran ignored whether Duobao was willing or not, and spent a long time groping Duobao.

They forcibly took Duobao's phone.

At that moment, a chat window was still lit up on the phone.

One of the profile pictures, featuring a young girl in a martial arts uniform, was still sending messages to Duobao.

Young girl: Fellow Daoist Duobao, this year's tea leaves have just ripened. This tea was personally supervised by Master Yangyang and has the effect of resurrecting souls. When paired with the Netherworld Incense, one can feel memories of one's past life.

Duobao: Excellent, excellent, how much?

Young girl: /smiles. Fellow Daoist, this tea is free. However, the refining process consumed Master Yangyang's essence, so it may take some time to recover before I can deliver it to you.

Duobao: Give me your address, and I'll give Master Yangyang a century-old blood-replenishing Ganoderma lucidum to help him replenish his qi and blood.

Young girl: Oh... How can this be? Fellow Daoist Duobao, your treasure is meant to help you ascend to the Dao. If we do this, it will be like a transaction, which goes against the original intention of our Daoist school.

Duobao: What transaction? I gave this to Master Yangyang voluntarily!

Having seen this,

Ye Ran was as if struck by lightning.

He was so shocked that he took two steps back...

Ye Ran turned off her phone and gave Duobao a deep look.

One second we were worried that Huang Dongdong's elderly relative living alone was being targeted by a fraud gang.

My own family's several-thousand-year-old ancestor is almost at the point of voluntarily giving it away...

Duobao felt a little uneasy under Ye Ran's gaze.

"Ye Ran, why are you staring at me like that?"

Ye Ran didn't speak, but his aura surged forth.

moment,

All the smoke, sandalwood,

The ground was shaken and the smoke and clouds dispersed.

Then, Ye Ran focused his gaze on the things on Duobao's body.

A golden light enveloped Duobao's entire body.

Duobao was just about to resist,

However, the golden light carried an inexplicable pressure.

It actually made it so afraid to move that it truly didn't dare to.

that's all,

The Taoist cultural elements on Duobao's body were pulverized by Ye Ran's golden light.

“Duobao, starting today, you are not allowed to use your phone anymore, and you are also not allowed to have any contact with this so-called private domain Taoist exchange group.”

"Why?!?"

"Because I can send you back to Principal Bai!!"

Upon hearing this,

Duobao, who was originally arrogant,

He shrank back.

Clearly, he was still somewhat wary of Bai Xu asking him for half of the treasure.

Looking at Duobao's expression, Ye Ran didn't know how to respond for a moment.

You're terrified when Bai Xu asks you for something.

They were surprisingly generous when they were being scammed by the fraud gang...

Seeing Duobao's pitiful expression, Ye Ran softened and began to explain:

"That's a scam gang, they're just trying to cheat you out of your money!"
