Cannon-Fodder Heiress Turns the Tables by Fortune-Telling

"No way, I need to find you a life assistant, or else, I can't stand watching you living like this."

Yun Ran chuckled immediately: "Do you think any life assistant can calmly stay by my side?"

These words stumped Gu Yuan. If Yun Ran was just a rich girl, he wouldn't need to worry about her needing a life assistant.

Now, Yun Ran's status at the Special Administration Bureau isn't even at the level that allows for a special assistant, not to mention, many people are watching her.

Gu Yuan could only sheepishly take back his grandiose promise.

"Well, that was just a random thought..."

Ginsengfruit sat obediently in the backseat, still energetic after a day of gaming, his hands holding a big bag of snacks. No sooner had he settled down than the sound of munching came from the backseat.

Gu Yuan looked through the rearview mirror, caught the opportunity, and immediately started to change the subject.

"Your little disciple's identity has been finalized, and your qualification certificate for founding a sect has also been processed. It's effective as soon as you pick a location."

"Got it, thanks."

The car soon arrived at the Special Administration Bureau's exclusive helipad. It was Yun Ran's first visit here, and seeing the place reassured her that the Special Administration Bureau was indeed loaded.

"The venue for the Xuanmen Competition is on a small island."

As Yun Ran followed Gu Yuan onto the plane, she saw Xuan Chu was also there, currently looking at a booklet he was holding.

Gu Yuan, unaware that Yun Ran knew Xuan Chu, promptly introduced him: "This is the Young Master from the Xuan Family; they've always been very low-key..."

Before he could finish, Yun Ran interrupted: "No need for introductions, I know him."

Gu Yuan glanced between Xuan Chu and Yun Ran, then said puzzledly: "When did you get to know people from the Xuan Family? They never interact with outsiders."

"You said it yourself, they don't interact with outsiders, but am I an outsider?"

Gu Yuan: ...

Well, that's a powerful excuse!

After boarding the plane, Xuan Chu put down the booklet, which consisted of information gathered by members of Heavenly Dao Village stationed outside, helping him to quickly understand the current situation.

Yun Ran probably knew, no matter what she said, Xuan Chu wasn't going to give up following her, so she didn't bother wasting her breath.

But it would be wrong to say they were enemies; after all, Xuan Chu had helped her before, they simply had different stands.

Thus, she didn't plan to speak to Xuan Chu but merely nodded as a greeting, then found a seat to sit down.

Gu Yuan always felt that there was something odd about the relationship between Yun Ran and Xuan Chu, so he took out his phone and texted Yun Ran: [What's the situation, do you two have a feud?]

Yun Ran glanced at her buzzing phone and then looked towards Gu Yuan. She scanned him up and down but did not reply.

But she let Gu Yuan understand that she thought he was being nosy.

[I'm just concerned about you, let's not talk about it. Anyway, I will definitely stand by you, isn't that loyal of me? ~~~]

The plane soon took off. Yun Ran put on an eye mask and closed her eyes to rest. Once they arrived, there would surely be a heap of troubles waiting for her.

Gu Yuan then looked towards Ginsengfruit and moved closer to strike up a conversation.

Suddenly Xuan Chu spoke, "Gu Chu, if you want to know something, you can ask me."

This embarrassed Gu Yuan; before meeting Yun Ran and Xuan Chu, he had planned to impress the prestigious Young Master of the Xuan Family.

Now he subconsciously saw Xuan Chu as a rival, which made him somewhat uneasy.

"Well, I just talk too much, Young Master Xuan, please don't take it to heart."

Xuan Chu didn't mind Gu Yuan's words and continued reading the booklet.

With that, Gu Yuan didn't dare to pry further and shut his mouth.

But this quiet environment was something Gu Yuan was not accustomed to.

Just when Gu Yuan felt time was dragging and he could barely hold it together, the plane finally reached the island hosting the Xuanmen Competition.

Gu Yuan let out a long sigh of relief from the oppressive atmosphere; it was finally over.

Yun Ran opened her eyes, neatly stored her eye mask, grabbed her simple bag, and got off the plane stylishly.

Xuan Chu didn't follow immediately, instead, he started to gather his things.

His reason for coming was not only to keep an eye on Yun Ran but also to assess the current strength of the Xuan Sect.

Right after getting off the plane, people were already waiting, holding a large golden banner that read, [Yun Ran, you're the best! The very best in the world!!!]

Yun Ran felt like she could nearly dig a hole to hide.

Ginsengfruit came out and saw this scene, his mouth slightly agape, his face a picture of disbelief.

Even as a System, he could feel a profound sense of embarrassment now.

Gu Yuan pulled his suitcase, took a step to catch up, and, seeing someone holding the banner, nodded in satisfaction.

It wasn't for naught that he spent a lot of valuable herbs to make this arrangement.

"Ranran, how is it, quite impressive, right?"

Yun Ran immediately pulled out her cap, put it on, and in that moment, she didn't know Gu Yuan!

Gu Yuan also took out his phone to start filming a video, planning to capture Yun Ran's highlight moments.

Waiting for Yun Ran to win the Leader title, then use these highlights to edit into a montage for the year-end promotional video within the bureau.

As he was filming, Yun Ran had already quickly left.

Gu Yuan hadn't finished filming yet; watching Yun Ran hurry away, he hurriedly put down his phone and chased after her with his suitcase.

"Ranran, why are you rushing, there's still a flower ceremony to attend..."

Yun Ran ran even faster, willing to face death, but not social death!

Xuan Chu followed behind, somehow finding this scene comically delightful.

Then several more helicopters arrived. The people who came down saw the huge golden banner first thing.

The name Yun Ran had been frequently mentioned both within Special Administration Bureau and Mystical Sect recently, making it quite familiar to many.

"Is Yun Ran really some sort of endorser pushed forward deliberately, being so high-profile?"

"Not sure, but staging this scene here at least proves one thing – she definitely has someone backing her."

"I think, this is her way of declaring war on us. Everyone who came by helicopter from the sea could see this banner. Despite her young age, she's quite the schemer."

"Hmph, I want to see if she is truly as capable as she appears, it would be really embarrassing if she can't even get past the first round!"
