Cannon-Fodder Heiress Turns the Tables by Fortune-Telling-Chapter 1124 - 1120:

Soon, they arrived at the entrance of the second alley marked by the Dragon Spirit.

This time, just as the small town’s Dark Master was about to step forward and take over the things in Xuan Chu’s hands to continue setting up as Xuan Chu had indicated,

they were pushed aside by people from Fuhu City.

"Brother, it felt wrong for us to let you work alone before. Now, you just rest well, and leave the rest to us!"

The small town’s Dark Master’s arms were held by two people, rendering him unable to move.

He could only watch helplessly as a few others eagerly stepped forward, replacing his work.

The small town’s Dark Master was instantly enraged, these shameless fellows!

If he weren’t afraid of displeasing Mr. Xuan, he would have really started cursing now.

Fortunately, the eagerness of these people to work didn’t hinder their efficiency and did not affect what Xuan Chu had to do next.

The familiar shrill screams, half-human, half-something else, sounded again.

The residents nearby, upon hearing those sounds, were so frightened that they quickly retreated back to their homes and tightly locked their doors.

"What... what is that sound..."

"Could it be, this is the disaster of Lotus City, with no sunlight before, now evil has descended!"

"Help, help, I don’t want to die, I don’t want to die..."

...

Others might not have heard these sounds, Xuan Chu didn’t know, but even if he did, it didn’t affect his actions at all.

Some brave ones quietly stepped out and followed the direction of the sound towards the alley entrance.

The Dark Masters from Fuhu City, realizing there were people nearby, immediately spread out to disperse them.

As Dark Masters, they were naturally quite proud of their status and truly looked down on regular people.

"This is not a place you can stay, go back quickly!"

"Scram, scram, look at everything, aren’t you afraid of going blind!"

...

Soon, the nearby people were dispersed by the Dark Masters from Fuhu City.

When they returned, the shrill howling had subsided and eventually disappeared.

Xuan Chu methodically put away the black spheres.

This area, as the shrill howling subsided, also brightened a bit.

At least, with the naked eye, one could see the shapes of people not far away, unlike before, when everything was a blur.

The Dragon Spirit was currently sitting in the reception hall of the Lotus City Xuan Master Association, sipping their treasured tea leaves.

Chairman Liu’s smile was so broad it formed wrinkles.

"Mr. Long, about what we discussed earlier, what do you think?"

The Dragon Spirit put down the teacup and glanced at Chairman Liu.

With an indifferent tone: "Not interested."

Chairman Liu’s smile froze instantly.

Previously, they had expended considerable resources to persuade the people from Fuhu City to introduce the Dragon Spirit to them.

And sure enough, the moment the Dragon Spirit re-entered Lotus City, these Xuan Masters were quick to find them.

"Mr. Long, I understand asking you to reopen a new barrier would require you to expend a lot of Mystic Power, but we are willing to compensate you.

No matter what you want, we are willing to offer it with both hands, please, you must save those young children..."

If Yun Ran were here to hear these words, perhaps she would be moved.

But the Dragon Spirit, having long achieved financial freedom, truly had no interest in these so-called resources.

If it were a life-or-death situation, these people giving up on a majority to preserve a portion to carry on would be considered a wise choice.

But now, most of Lotus City’s crisis had been averted.

Originally, they weren’t without means, but Yun Ran’s intervention in the cause was too significant, almost causing Yun Ran to stumble.

This made them somewhat hamstrung.

Now, as Yun Ran forcibly contracted that copper mirror, even though they didn’t know what cause and effect it held, Yun Ran’s fortune stabilized.

Even though these people were unaware that the situation had significantly turned around, the decisions they made still made the Dragon Spirit somewhat unhappy.

He subconsciously compared these Xuan Masters to the people from the Special Administration Bureau.

Tut, tut, tut!

Really, one wouldn’t know without comparing; once compared, everything about these people seemed displeasing.

Back then, Gu Yuan and those fellows were prepared to sacrifice themselves for strangers they didn’t even know.

It was all to buy these people some time and opportunity to survive.

And these people now? The citizens of Lotus City were within their jurisdiction and had supported them for a long time.

Did these people so easily give up on them? 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

Why couldn’t the seeds preserved be those of the ordinary people’s children?

Chairman Liu didn’t know what the Dragon Spirit was thinking, but he could feel that the Dragon Spirit was currently displeased with his attitude.

This made Chairman Liu a bit puzzled; he hadn’t done anything wrong, so why did he offend this esteemed person?

At this moment, the Dragon Spirit sensed the location where he had previously left a mark being purified.

He suddenly turned his head in the direction where the mark was cleared.

Noticing the familiar aura, the Dragon Spirit’s expression slightly trembled.

He couldn’t help but complain internally: Why did Xuan Chu suddenly come in and start purifying the resentful spirits without saying a word?

But this doubt only lingered briefly in the Dragon Spirit’s mind before he had an answer.

It seemed Xuan Chu knew that Yun Ran was alright and had already left.

Otherwise, with Xuan Chu’s cautious nature, how could he not worry that his Heavenly Dao Restriction might attract the consciousness within this spatial rift?

Chairman Liu, observing the Dragon Spirit’s action, realized something was up.

He quickly asked, "Mr. Long, has something happened?"

The Dragon Spirit quickly came up with an excuse. Since Xuan Chu had taken action, then the credit had to go to them.

This would allow their prowess to stand even more securely.

Only then did the Dragon Spirit pick up the teacup again, taking a sip, and said in a calm tone, "Oh, it’s nothing major.

It’s just my senior brother, purifying some resentful spirits within Lotus City. It shouldn’t take long before Lotus City’s crisis is resolved.

You can start preparing a banquet now, by the time you’re ready, my senior brother should be about ready to return."

With a ’thud’.

Chairman Liu stood up a bit out of control, accidentally knocking over the teacup nearby.

"You... you said what?"

Chairman Liu wondered if he was hallucinating.

The trouble that he had sent so many people to investigate, unable to find the root cause, was resolved?
