Are you worried about them?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yun Ran shook her head, not really concerned about the Dragon Spirit and the others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She just felt that since she entered the world within this book, many small details that she hadn’t paid attention to now seemed likely not to be mere coincidences.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, how could it be that every time, she coincidentally uncovered those black-clothed individuals’ plans?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At first, Yun Ran thought she had some special constitution, causing chaos wherever she went.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now it seemed more like many things were being driven by a hidden hand behind the scenes, just like a plot setting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone else, including Yun Ran herself who entered the book world, seemed to be progressing along certain predetermined paths.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this was merely Yun Ran’s feeling, with no evidence to support this suspicion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yun Ran could only temporarily set aside her doubts and look at the Little Paperman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In this frontier town, not only is there a Divine Cauldron, but there’s also an eerie jar.

anyone who becomes a Dark Master isn’t a fool!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Becoming a Dark Master requires not only talent but also intelligence; otherwise, it’s impossible to master those mystic techniques.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Tree Spirit feigned ignorance, pretending not to have heard anything, not responding to Yun Ran’s words, nor swaying its branches.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as if it had been an innocent hundred-year-old tree all along.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this from the Tree Spirit, Yun Ran almost burst into laughter from anger;
