Cannon-Fodder Heiress Turns the Tables by Fortune-Telling

Waiting for Yun Ran to finish her meditation, she finally digested all those items passed down by her ancestors.

Opening her eyes, she saw a full plate of walnut kernels on the small tea table.

Hungry, Yun Ran grabbed a handful of walnut kernels and stuffed them into her mouth when the tent's curtain was lifted by Ginsengfruit.

The little one, holding a steady tray full of food, came in.

And the people outside, seeing this, didn't find it odd at all that a child could hold things so steadily.

"What's the situation outside?"

After putting down the chicken soup and dishes, Ginsengfruit replied, "Those Black Robed People have been taken away, and the other Special Administration Bureau personnel are checking the area for hidden dangers. The archaeology team should be able to return by night."

Yun Ran picked up the chicken soup and drank several big gulps, suppressing her hunger.

"Where's Xie Xuzhi?"

"He's been inside the tent all this time."

Then, as if remembering something, Ginsengfruit continued, "Xuan Chu hasn't left either, just staying at the edge of the camp like a spectator, never thinking about offering help."

Ginsengfruit truly didn't think she was applying any sort of indirect criticism, she simply felt that Xuan Chu didn't know how to behave properly.

Not being here was one thing, but having the audacity to simply observe while everyone else was so busy felt inappropriate.

Yun Ran began to eat, speaking while she did, "Heavenly Destiny Guardians, they are all like this, under the pretext of not meddling in anything and treating all beings equally; in reality, it's all empty talk!"

There has never been true fairness in this world. No matter who it is, once they are involved in worldly affairs, they are bound to be biased.

Even the Heavenly Dao itself doesn't have the confidence to claim impartiality; otherwise, there would be no such things as the favorites of Heavenly Dao, Children of Destiny, or the Heavenly Abandoned like herself.

After finishing her meal, Yun Ran felt revitalized.

"Lady Yun!"

Outside the tent, Wan Ji's voice was heard, and Ginsengfruit quickly stood up to see.

Just as Ginsengfruit lifted the curtain, she saw Wan Ji with a face full of eagerness, handing over the communication device, "A call from Doctor Yu."

Ginsengfruit took the device, saying, "Wait a moment!"

The attitude was neither good nor bad, yet Wan Ji didn't feel slighted at all.

Having witnessed Yun Ran's capabilities, he even felt that Yun Ran's temperament was quite good.

Ginsengfruit entered the tent, the curtain closed, and Wan Ji still stood respectfully outside waiting.

Yun Ran, seeing the special communication device, guessed it was from Doctor Yu's group.

Since this area had been designated an important archaeological site, local communications had been encrypted. Without a dedicated signal source, no messages could be sent out from this vicinity.

Taking the device, Yun Ran spoke directly, "This is Yun Ran."

Doctor Yu, on the other end, finally felt relieved upon hearing Yun Ran's voice.

The Special Administration Bureau had already informed him it was safe to return.

Yun Ran had been meditating earlier and therefore couldn't contact him directly.

But for some reason, Doctor Yu insisted on hearing Yun Ran say it was okay before the archaeology team would move.

Hearing such a reason, Yun Ran twitched the corner of her mouth, not knowing what to say.

"You could have asked Little Paperman too."

"That's not the same, even if Little Paperman says you're fine, I need to talk to you directly to be reassured. I only trust you."

What Doctor Yu didn't say was that he knew many high-ranking officials from the Special Administration Bureau were here, and he was worried Yun Ran's voice wouldn't carry enough weight. Aren't they indirectly reinforcing Yun Ran's authority by doing this?

However, this reason he decided not to share; as long as others understood he only trusted Yun Ran, that was enough.

"It's safe here now, you all can come back. Additionally, the Special Administration Bureau will assign personnel to stay here to ensure your safety."

Doctor Yu quickly hung up the phone; to strengthen Yun Ran's authority, he had already selfishly delayed for some time.

Now he had to hurry back, which was about the most out-of-line thing he could do as a workaholic.

After returning the communication device, Ginsengfruit quietly asked, "Host, we don't need to worry about Wuzi Changli anymore, do we?"

Yun Ran nodded. She was a person with a strong sense of crisis.

Although she did not feel threatened by Wuzi Changli for now, and Xuan Chu said he wouldn't come out, Ginsengfruit's previous worries still held—better safe than sorry.

Who knew when Wuzi Changli might suddenly become restless; if they were to wait until then to prepare, it would be too late.

Better to plan ahead, except she hadn't expected the ancestors to be so generous, gifting her with Sword Intent capable of slaying Immortals.

Yun Ran was truly satisfied, the old saying was right, crying children get sweets.

In the future, when she accumulated more Merit, she would chat more with the ancestors, determined to coax more good things from them.

Yun Ran was satisfied, but Xuan Chu, who had always been at the edge of the camp, was restless.

Initially, he only felt that Yun Ran had the potential to become a scourge to the world, but last night the aura of her becoming a worldly disaster had intensified.

This made Xuan Chu very uneasy. Calculating the Heavenly Secrets, he was always one step short, unable to deduce where the problem was.

What Xuan Chu didn't know was, even as a Heavenly Destiny Guardian, he could only calculate everything under the rules of Heavenly Dao.

Having been extremely cautious for a long time, Ginsengfruit now finally returned to her original nonchalant attitude.

She took out the tablet that Yun Ran had bought her and launched a game that she hadn't played in ages.

Enjoying snacks and playing the game, she was having a carefree time.

Muttering, "Host, I think the Northwest doesn't really suit us. Let's not come here anymore in the future."

Yun Ran agreed, "I think so too. Once Doctor Yu and the others return and we wrap things up here, we'll head back."

However, before they left, she would personally inspect the situation here.

It wasn't that she didn't trust the Special Administration Bureau people, it's just that some methods, they simply couldn't defend against.

Yun Ran, hands behind her back, wandered aimlessly like the elderly often do.

Those who saw her didn't take her behavior seriously and had no intention of stopping her; they didn't want to be embarrassed by such a young girl like Yun Ran.
