Cannon-Fodder Heiress Turns the Tables by Fortune-Telling

Doctor Yu, upon witnessing the scene, somewhat understood and immediately became silent, acting as a mere backdrop.

The situation instantly became somewhat tense.

Murong Fei's eyes harbored some displeasure as he looked at Yun Ran, followed by a cold sneer. No wonder the Xie Family sent Yun Ran here—it turns out she is no simple character.

"Lady Yun talks nonsense, could it be you are purposely changing the subject? Is your reputation for accurate fortune-telling just a façade?"

"A façade? You're thinking too much. I rely on real skill. If you wish to see my fortune-telling, that's fine, one hundred thousand per divination, with no bargaining.

Moreover, to prove that I'm not all talk, today I will break my usual routine of three divinations per day. As long as you provide enough Divination money, I'll accompany you however much you wish to divine!"

Although previously she charged two thousand per divination, those were just minor activities.

Now, to prove her skills, she naturally charged differently—it wouldn't be so cheap unless it was to trick these people into more divinations!

Seeing Yun Ran so confident.

Doctor Yu was completely relieved at this moment, although he didn't quite understand what backing Yun Ran had, but he wasn't naive.

With the protection of Little Paperman, there was actually no need for Yun Ran to make a special trip here.

However, Yun Ran showing up here so spiritedly must mean she wasn't here just to see him.

Presumably, her target must be Murong Fei.

Now that Yun Ran could even make Dean Liu come around at Murong Fei's urging, and even tolerate Yun Ran's 'rudeness', that indicates.

The backer behind Yun Ran could exert significant pressure on a domineering person like Murong Fei.

Thinking of this, Doctor Yu's previous worries instantly vanished.

Rather than being forced to submit to Murong Fei, he would prefer to cooperate with the person behind Yun Ran.

Indeed, he finds Yun Ran agreeable to his eyes, and considering the current situation, it's likely they could become insiders.

Those following Murong Fei's lead from the general bureau slightly frowned as they heard Yun Ran boldly asking for a high price, but ultimately remained silent.

However, their silence did not mean everyone from the Murong Family agreed.

An assistant of Murong Fei, catching Murong Fei's eye gesture, immediately jumped out: "This little girl, really does not know how high the sky is…"

Before he could finish, Yun Ran lightly snapped her fingers, and all the Little Paperman she had flew out, all hovering in mid-air.

Despite all being only palm-sized Little Paperman, they imposed a significant deterrent on those present.

Yun Ran's eyelids slightly lifted, her tone lazy yet dangerous: "Little girl?"

Murong Fei's assistant, shocked by the scene and hearing Yun Ran's obviously malicious retort, turned pale with fear.

Duan Shouyuan, seeing the dozen or so Little Paperman hovering beside Yun Ran and sensing their aura, his eyes surged with a hint of astounding hope.

Fortunately, Yun Ran only intended to intimidate them and did not actually aim to cause them any substantive harm.

Yun Ran looked at Murong Fei: "So, shall we start the divination?"

The group including Doctor Yu remained silent, believing in Yun Ran but not foolishly jumping out at this moment.

Furthermore, if Professor Murong was really willing to pay, it would be a win-win for them—Yun Ran would earn money, and they would benefit.

Murong Fei originally just intended to test Yun Ran, but he hadn't expected that she would start off by going all-in with a threat, completely disregarding martial virtues.

Even went so far as to corner him, did he look like someone short of money? No, of course, he wasn't short on cash, but the forced feeling from Yun Ran was extremely unpleasant.

"Fine, of course, I'll do the fortune-telling! However, since you mentioned you only perform three divinations per day, let's follow your rules. Even though I would hope Doctor Yu and the others could reduce their workload, I can't overwork you."

Yun Ran immediately rolled her eyes internally, typical of a person from an aristocratic family, with his words setting so many traps.

"But what if you predict inaccurately?"

Yun Ran retorted with a smile that didn't reach her eyes: "This is only because you are a member of the Murong Family, otherwise, I would suspect you're trying to default on the payment.

Forget it, I'll give you this much respect. We can do the fortune-telling first and settle the payment later. You must pay if it's accurate, is that acceptable now? Any more questions? Let's get them all out at once!"

When it came to insinuations, Yun Ran was never on the losing side.

Indeed, Murong Fei choked on her words. If Yun Ran's statement today got out, many people would surely mock the Murong Family for being petty.

Yun Ran instructed Wan Ji who was following behind her, "Go to my tent and fetch my tools!"

Actually, she could have taken the items at any time, but with the top brass present, she didn't want the others to know she possessed a Magic Treasure similar to Mustard Space.

Ginsengfruit caught Yun Ran's look, nodded, and then left with Wan Ji.

Those who were originally working all stopped, and Murong Fei's people even stared at them the entire time,

as if afraid they would help Yun Ran cheat, making her feel speechless and increasingly perceiving the person from the Murong Family before her as somewhat petty.

After a while, Ginsengfruit and Wan Ji came back with the items.

Ginsengfruit deftly arranged Yun Ran's tools.

Wan Ji, watching beside, now understood why Lady Yun would take such a young child as a disciple.

Yun Ran sat down immediately, took out a divination cup, a turtle shell, and a blank piece of paper.

Looking at Murong Fei, "You're paying, so you might as well take part, to avoid disputes later."

Murong Fei found that some people's smiles could be incredibly annoying!

But he still came over; however, he did not sit down like Yun Ran. He was a person with a slight obsession with cleanliness.

The clothes and shoes he wore today would all be discarded afterwards.

"How should we divine?"

Yun Ran pointed to the items set on the table: "Three methods, any way you like will do!"

To Murong Fei, both drawing lots and shaking the turtle shell involved more luck, and were inherently mystical practices. If Yun Ran spouts nonsense, who knows how she'll spin it.

He immediately picked up a pen and wrote a detested '厌' character beside the white paper.

Yun Ran slightly raised an eyebrow, then started the divination.

Minutes later, Yun Ran looked up: "Done. There are three ancient relics in this area, but one divination can only locate one.

The relic for this first divination is positioned at the point corresponding to the character 犬 (dog). Do you want to continue with the other two divinations now, or wait to do them later?"

Duan Shouyuan, upon seeing Murong Fei write the '厌' character, also conducted simultaneous calculations, but unfortunately, he couldn't determine the exact number of ancient relics or pinpoint their exact locations.
