Cannon-Fodder Heiress Turns the Tables by Fortune-Telling

Yun Ran's expression looked especially calm, yet carried an undeniable aura.

The members of the Thunderbolt Team knew they had been tricked, but they were unaware of what Yun Ran had negotiated with the old man opposite during this time.

Despite having many questions in their hearts, as soon as Yun Ran spoke, the team members immediately halted their movements.

Reflexively following Yun Ran's orders, they picked up the weapons they had previously 'thrown' away and retreated.

The old man on the opposite side was also very eager to know what the bell in Yun Ran's hand was, why it could break his Soul Enchanting Banner, why...

Unfortunately, Yun Ran only wanted to return to the warm tent now and had no intention of explaining anything to anyone.

The atmosphere reached a strange balance at this moment, with no one speaking first, only standing in an implicit standoff.

Yun Ran turned and went back to the tent; now, even if the Heavenly King himself came, nothing could delay her sleep!

Early the next morning, Xuan Chu had already arrived, but Yun Ran was still sound asleep.

"Your master urgently called me here in the middle of the night, yet she's the one sleeping. Does that seem right?"

Xuan Chu looked at Ginsengfruit with an indifferent gaze, showing no hint of emotion.

But Ginsengfruit actually felt a bit intimidated by Xuan Chu.

If he could, he would never want to interact with Xuan Chu for his entire life.

He couldn't even look him in the eye, so he just bowed his head.

His voice was as soft as a mosquito's: "You arrived too early."

Xuan Chu: ...

Forget it, what was he expecting anyway, anyone accepted as Yun Ran's apprentice couldn't be normal, and being backstabbed was a common occurrence.

"Just tell me what she called me here for!"

Xuan Chu always thought of himself as someone extremely stable, who could remain calm even if the sky were falling.

But since dealing with Yun Ran, he often found himself speechless due to her strange antics.

Ginsengfruit quickly glanced at Yun Ran's tent, just hoping the Host would wake up soon, so he wouldn't have to face this cold person alone.

Just as he was thinking this, Lady Luck smiled upon him.

Yun Ran pulled open the tent flap, her body twisted, and looked at Xuan Chu with a visible smile: "Hey, you came pretty fast, I knew you were reliable."

Ginsengfruit seized the opportunity and slipped away; he's just a small system, after all, not suited for such high-level gatherings.

"You got up too late."

Yun Ran pretended not to hear that, anyway, anything she didn't like hearing always went in one ear and out the other.

The roar of a tiger inappropriately sounded at this moment.

Yun Ran couldn't help sighing; who would have thought, one day, to get the Mountain Guardian's assistance, she'd actually look for someone to boost her credibility.

"You need to come with me to meet someone,"

Xuan Chu's body remained still, his tone calm and aloof: "Do you remember what you told me in the Capital City?"

Yun Ran exaggeratedly exclaimed: "No way, no way, someone from Heavenly Dao Village so petty, holding grudges!"

During the time Xuan Chu spent in the mortal world, he hadn't been idle, handling many matters and meeting many people, but he truly hadn't met anyone like Yun Ran.

Yun Ran continued babbling: "Weren't you supposed to keep an eye on me to prevent me from annihilating the world? I'm currently doing something righteous; this place is full of death energy, you must have sensed something sealed here.

If I were to fight alone, what if I got ambushed? If I'm corrupted by an Evil God, who knows what evil I might commit.

However, if you can help me persuade that Mountain Guardian, with the Mountain Spirit's help, it would definitely be twice the result with half the effort..."

Yun Ran was just about to unleash her silver tongue to get Xuan Chu on her side.

But who knew, Xuan Chu merely let out a cold snort: "You have a Prohibition on you, even if corrupted by the Evil God, you couldn't cause trouble!"

Yun Ran: ...

It's over; she had previously shown Xuan Chu her Prohibition to prove she was harmless, and now it had backfired on her.

Yun Ran immediately changed her demeanor, hands on her hips, fiercely saying: "Just say if you're helping or not! Nowadays, who else does good deeds like me without regard to cost!"

Seeing Yun Ran's stance of ripping open the face if he didn't help.

Xuan Chu leisurely said: "I didn't say I wouldn't help ~"

The ferocious expression froze on Yun Ran's face.

Anyone else might be a bit embarrassed at the moment, but Yun Ran immediately smoothly transitioned to a smiling face.

With a chuckle: "I knew it, you people from Heavenly Dao Village are quite righteous."

Xuan Chu no longer knew what words to use to describe Yun Ran, lifting a foot to head in the direction of the tiger's roar.

Passing by Yun Ran, he added: "Let's go, I'll go with you to check that Sealing."

Yun Ran's head turned to look at Xuan Chu's back, and she broke into a smile.

Once she persuaded the Mountain Guardian, and added Xuan Chu into the mix, this plan was solid!

Later, she'd have to ask Elder Gong and Minister Duan to apply for the highest bonus amount, and she had to keep it all for herself, haha~

Upon the first sight of Xuan Chu, the Mountain Guardian didn't even speak, but immediately confirmed that this person was indeed from Heavenly Dao Village.

Yun Ran was just about to step forward to make introductions, but saw the Mountain Guardian, who had been riding on the tiger, jump directly off.

Kneeling on one knee: "Baji greets Lord Envoy."

Yun Ran was stunned; Xuan Chu didn't look that much older than her, well, well, well, this is the difference between those with and without background!

When facing her, he was like someone in their rebellious phase, but facing Xuan Chu, it's complete submission.

She mistakenly thought Xuan Chu would have to persuade with many words, but this was it?

Facing the homage of a centenarian, Xuan Chu calmly received it, as if this was the etiquette others should show him when they met.

"Please rise."

"Thank you, Lord Envoy."

The old man Baji stood up, with a noticeably hopeful look on his face.

His eyes were only on Xuan Chu, completely ignoring Yun Ran standing not far beside him.

Even without Xuan Chu needing to ask, he immediately explained the situation of this deep mountain.

In a place where no one could see, Yun Ran couldn't help but roll her eyes; she was the main force, but now she was being treated like a background character, truly no sight!

Ginsengfruit nudged Yun Ran, speaking in a system voice: [Host, don't get angry, this old man is ignorant, let's not argue with him!]

[What's there to be angry about, I'm just speechless!]

Now, she was still her, but without Qingfeng Temple as a backing, she held so little weight in this world.

Those without background really have so few paths and have to endure so much disregard; if someone's mentality was slightly worse, they'd definitely go astray.

This only strengthened Yun Ran's belief in re-establishing Qingfeng Temple's reputation in this world.
