Cannon-Fodder Heiress Turns the Tables by Fortune-Telling-Chapter 204 - 203: Even a Top Can’t Spin Faster Than Her (2nd Update)

Chapter 204: Chapter 203: Even a Top Can’t Spin Faster Than Her (2nd Update)

The Xuan Sect was actually the most straightforward place where strength reigned supreme. If they weren’t aware that they had provoked someone who could easily kill them, then they had lived this long in vain.

Severely injured, they understood clearly in their hearts that the opponent at this moment was merely giving them a lesson, not harboring much killing intent.

If they dared to retaliate now, what awaited them was nothing but death and annihilation.

The four immediately used the remaining sand tray to convey their intention to admit defeat and submit.

After a long while, the sand tray did not deliver another attack from the opponent, and the four slightly breathed a sigh of relief.

Anyone who had just turned around at the Ghost Gate would feel only fortunate.

Yun Ran received the other’s surrender and, grasping the other party’s lifeline, did not continue to kill them off. She patted the petals clinging to her body and returned with a brisk step.

The four Dark Masters invited by the Xiyeno Family did not know Yun Ran had already left; even though their whole bodies hurt, they did not dare to relax or show any disrespect, waiting quietly for Yun Ran’s disposition.

Another half hour passed without any movement from the sand tray, and only then did the four finally relax.

They did not dare to resent the master who could easily control their lives. Still, the hatred did not disappear—only transferred—and thus, it was the Xiyeno Family they hated.

Yun Ran went to check on Yun Jinyang, who was busy as a dog, especially watching as he didn’t even have time to eat.

She couldn’t help but think to herself that this sure seemed like advanced cattle and horses, which instantly made her demystify the identity of the elite President, finding laziness more cost-effective.

The third assistant was very diligent in bringing Yun Ran a super-sized crab and lobster feast with other seafood.

Lying on the beach chair, Yun Ran took a bite of seafood, then a sip of her drink, reaffirming, "This is the happy life."

In the days that followed, the third assistant accompanied Yun Ran on her excursions nearby, shopping until she truly experienced what it meant to be extravagantly wealthy.

Seeing that she was about to return home, Yun Ran received a call from Xie Xuzhi.

"What did you say? You want me to cooperate to complete a new mission? You’re also coming to Yinghua Country?"

This news genuinely surprised Yun Ran. What kind of matter could make Xie Xuzhi come in person when he usually presided over things from far behind the scenes?

"Can I ask..."

"No, it’s confidential!"

Yun Ran: ...

Hanging up the phone, Yun Ran rolled her eyes directly at it.

Humph, when enjoying privileges, she was absent, but when it came to work, she was everywhere. Was this the life of being a lowly worker?

The third assistant had already packed up all the things Yun Ran had bought, just waiting to return home.

Yun Jinyang also finally got to rest. After being busy for so many days, he was still in good spirits, truly worthy of the title "Iron Man!"

The step-siblings finally found an opportunity to have a meal together.

"You haven’t gone to school in a long time, right? When we return home..."

Yun Jinyang was good at disrupting the atmosphere. Before the sentence was even finished, Yun Ran felt like the piece of lobster she had just eaten wouldn’t digest.

"I’m not going back with you all; I have things to do."

Interrupted, Yun Jinyang looked at Yun Ran with some confusion, seriously suspecting she was using this as an excuse to skip school.

"You’re still young, attending school is the most important thing."

"The Xie Family."

If Yun Jinyang didn’t know about her close interactions with the Xie Family, she naturally wouldn’t mention a word. But since he knew, it served as the best cover.

Sure enough, as soon as Yun Ran mentioned the Xie Family, Yun Jinyang raised an eyebrow and then obediently kept quiet.

After the meal, Yun Ran smiled and saw the Yun Family and the things she bought board the plane while she rushed to meet Xie Xuzhi and his group at the place where Taoist Xia’s chartered flight had landed.

She was truly like a spinning top, never able to stop.

However, upon seeing Xie Xuzhi’s group, Yun Ran’s grumpy face immediately turned a few degrees more ingratiating, all in the hope of getting special permission to use the chartered plane from Xie Xuzhi.

What others had, she must also have!

Gu Yuan was following behind Xie Xuzhi, waving hard at Yun Ran from afar, acting as if they were very familiar.

Xie Xuzhi glanced lightly at Gu Yuan, "You’re showing off?"

Gu Yuan: ...

Yun Ran trotted over, not giving Gu Yuan a glance, very diligently inquiring after Xie Xuzhi in every possible way.

"You’ve had a hard journey..."

If Yun Jinyang’s third assistant were present, they would surely think Yun Ran’s current behavior was very familiar.

Xie Xuzhi looked at the fawning Yun Ran, frowning slightly, "Did you take the wrong medicine?"

Yun Ran suddenly felt petrified: No way, this rare act of flattery got no respect?

Gu Yuan whispered to Yun Ran, "What’s gotten into you? That grin you just had was like a wolf grandma’s, and Director Xie is a doer..."

Yun Ran’s gaze, full of envy, fell on the not-too-distant chartered plane, practically drooling, "What do you know!"

After speaking, she quickly followed Xie Xuzhi’s footsteps, coincidentally, because she was also a doer!

No one in the group took a break. They directly boarded the special car to their destination, which puzzled Yun Ran a bit.

Xie Xuzhi naturally rode in his own car, while Yun Ran shared one with Gu Yuan.

As soon as she got in, she asked, "What’s the task about? Not only did Director Xie personally come, but it’s also so urgent."

"The head of the overseas Tan Family called the Xie Family personally, offering extremely generous terms for the Kyoto Xie Family’s direct branch to mediate.

So Director Xie had to come in person this time. Everyone who came is truly the top echelons of the Xuan Sect to help solve a tricky matter. If I weren’t from the Gu Family, I wouldn’t be eligible to come."

"The Tan Family?"

Yun Ran suddenly had a bad premonition. Was it the Tan Family she knew?

Gu Yuan assumed Yun Ran didn’t know the Tan Family and hurriedly explained.

"The Tan Family’s ancestors were an aristocratic family domestically. Two or three hundred years ago, they moved because they were purged by the royal family. They were very low-key, rarely revealing their background.

Their ancestors were related by marriage to the Four Great Families of Kyoto. If the Tan Family hadn’t encountered that purge, perhaps Kyoto would have the ’Five Great Families’ today."

With such an explanation, Yun Ran immediately understood, meaning the Tan Family’s background was no less than the Four Great Families of Kyoto, an absolute behemoth.

No wonder why Xie Xuzhi had to come personally, and among those he brought, besides Gu Yuan, there was not a single familiar face from the Special Administration Bureau.

Even without specific introductions, Yun Ran could roughly guess their identities; they were undoubtedly top experts from various Xuan Sect families who rarely emerged.

Yun Ran immediately settled down; even though she was quite competent, she wasn’t arrogant enough to think she was the best.

The car quickly arrived at their destination, and Yun Ran followed behind Gu Yuan, suppressing her own aura to the lowest level.
