Cannon-Fodder Heiress Turns the Tables by Fortune-Telling

Dragon Spirit didn't say that he was worried Yun Ran would, relying on her might, recklessly offend people outside, and he would end up being the unlucky one.

After Yun Ran left, he went to find out exactly how many people she had offended.

Turns out Gu Yuan was a total flake, like a sieve for a mouth, and he sold Dragon Spirit out immediately!

Dragon Spirit wasn't afraid of Yun Ran; he sat there openly, huffing and puffing with disapproval.

"Your identity has already gone public, there's no need for you to stay here any longer, scram!"

From the beginning, Yun Ran never intended for Dragon Spirit to do anything for the Special Administration Bureau; it was just about getting him a temporary identity.

As long as he didn't cause trouble and didn't violate the Bureau's regulations, she couldn't be bothered to manage him.

Hearing that, Dragon Spirit jumped to his feet: "What do you mean? Are you kicking me out? Am I something you can call in or send away whenever you want?!"

"Love it or leave it!"

After saying that, Yun Ran stopped paying any attention to Dragon Spirit—it's not like he's human. One simply couldn't treat him with the same attitude as people, or who knows how bold he'd get.

Dragon Spirit was furious, but ironically, he really couldn't vent his frustration: "Humph, leave then, leave! As if I cherish being here!"

Just as Yun Ran returned to her room and was about to rest, her phone rang.

Seeing the caller ID, Yun Ran was slightly surprised. She just answered the call when Doctor Yu's laughter came through.

Just by hearing his voice, she knew he must have come across some good fortune.

"Ranran, I've found those things you mentioned before, and I've secretly had them sent back to Capital City."

Yun Ran immediately recalled the reminder Wuzi Changli had given her when she left last time.

If it were anyone else, Yun Ran might have some doubts, but with Wuzi Changli, she wasn't surprised by the outcome.

But before she could reply, Doctor Yu's voice continued: "This time, being able to excavate all those ancient relics entirely, the Little Papermen were a huge help.

Not only did they shorten the schedule, but also greatly saved on expenses. I have applied for the highest honor certificate on your behalf, once it comes through, you can choose any university you wish."

She helped out of consideration for Principal Du's face, of course, there was also a wee bit concern that if Doctor Yu had an accident, her guaranteed spot would be in trouble.

But she truly hadn't expected that a simple favor would bring such an unexpected reward.

Whatever mood she had before dissipated in an instant.

"I got it, thank you, Doctor Yu."

"You're still calling me Doctor Yu? That's way too formal, from now on, just like those unaccomplished students of mine, just calling me Teacher will do."

Doctor Yu was already laying the groundwork for making Yun Ran his personal disciple in secret.

After all, ever since meeting Yun Ran, he no longer wanted any other disciples.

At this moment, even if his own son stood before him, he would not be as important as Yun Ran.

Yun Ran was never one to hesitate. If there was no opportunity, so be it, but if there was an opportunity delivered to her doorstep, naturally, she wouldn't pass it up.

She called out without any hesitation: "Teacher~"

"Ah, that's good, that's good. When I get back to Capital City, I'll arrange a mentoring banquet and introduce you to the big names in our circle."

After hanging up the phone, Ginsengfruit asked softly: "Host, are you planning to go to Capital City?"

As the adoptive daughter of Hai City Yun Family, even someone negligent like the original host knew well that the Yun Family dreamed of establishing a foothold in Capital City.

Unfortunately, the relationships among the aristocratic families in Capital City were complicated and tangled; not just anyone could stake a claim there.

Money is seen as nothing more than nouveau riche by those families in Capital City, easily manipulated and squeezed.

"Of course, I'm going. What, did you think I really plan to stay in Hai City for life? The Yun Family in Hai City have their status.

But once someone in Capital City stirs trouble, Hai City Yun Family counts for nothing. Have you forgotten the former richest family in Hai City, the Jing Family, and Huannan's richest, the Zhao Family?

Which of their backgrounds are weaker than Yun Family's? Yet, because they made some mistakes, their family fortunes crumbled overnight.

You think that's justice? Do you think the aristocratic families haven't made the same mistakes, or made fewer?

Being dependent on others, one day for some reason or other, you will become a lamb to the slaughter.

If I had no intention of founding Qingfeng Temple as my own sect, it might not be necessary to go to Capital City, but now that I have permission, I must make the trip.

I need to let everyone know that even if Qingfeng Temple is small, with someone as powerful as me around, no one should even think about targeting it."

Ginsengfruit knew Yun Ran's attachment to Qingfeng Temple. There wasn't an opportunity before, but now that there was, she certainly wanted to make Qingfeng Temple invincible.

"Host, then will you be relying on the Xie Family?"

Capital City is the domain of the Four Great Families. Yun Ran has a cooperative relationship with Xie Xuzhi. For Qingfeng Temple to quickly establish itself, leveraging the power of the Xie Family would naturally be the fastest way.

"No, the Xie Family is huge, but the Xie Family does not have the qualification for me to rely on them."

This statement, if made by someone else, might make everyone think it's just empty boasting, but Ginsengfruit knew that if their host dared to say this, then that's truly her plan.

After some thought, Ginsengfruit excitedly opened his arsenal and selected an ion cannon with the least damage capacity.

"Mhm mhm, we have so many weapons in hand, if anyone dares to talk nonsense, we just blow up their whole family!"

Yun Ran: ...

"Do you have to be so violent? We're founding a sect, not becoming bandits. We should convince others with reason, with ethics, you know!"

Ginsengfruit then somewhat reluctantly put away his ion cannon. The little combativeness that had just arisen was immediately suppressed.

"Okay, convince others with reason, with ethics, I got it~"

Finally, Yun Ran ruffled Ginsengfruit's head: "Good boy, just remember that in the future, don't take these things out unless I allow it.

If some shameless jerks find out, we might get entangled with all sorts of moral blackmail.

Although I, your host, am awesome, one can't fight off everyone; and if they sling mud at us, then we'll be in big trouble!"

Ginsengfruit understood that; it's just like those situations on TV. Many promising heroes, framed and slandered by others, end up in a sad state.
