Cannon-Fodder Heiress Turns the Tables by Fortune-Telling-Chapter 254 - 253: All Three Divinations Are Death Divinations (Second Update)

Chapter 254: Chapter 253: All Three Divinations Are Death Divinations (Second Update)

Master Jiechen turned his head to look over: "Young friend, what have you discovered?"

He and Daoist Qingmu, having worked with Yun Ran before, knew full well her capabilities. Anything that could raise Yun Ran’s guard was definitely no trivial matter.

The driver, also from within the Special Administration Bureau, upon hearing Yun Ran’s voice that was evidently awry, subconsciously pressed on the brakes.

Yun Ran’s gaze turned to the bigwig from the Northwest. She had none of that worry of offending someone that everyone else harbored, her tone certain: "There is something wrong with Lan Jushi!"

Yun Ran’s statement, like poking a hornet’s nest at the Northwest Branch, caused everyone but Qingmu and Jiechen, including Zhonglisu, to look at her with astonishment.

Someone spoke up immediately: "Young friend Yun Ran, while you may have some Dao progress, isn’t it a bit too much to slander our Northwest Branch staff out of thin air?"

They were no pushovers. Whether their colleague had an issue or not, wouldn’t they know?

Though Daoist Qingmu was also somewhat surprised, he quickly came to and clearly sided with Yun Ran.

"Let’s not be hasty, everyone. Master Jiechen and I both know of young friend Yun Ran’s abilities. She’s not one to speak without evidence, she must have discovered something."

Then he looked towards Yun Ran: "Young friend Yun Ran, if you have discovered something, speak freely. Everyone in the car is capable, we can resolve the issue as much as possible,"

His words were clear: he trusted Yun Ran and spread the responsibility to everyone present.

"Lan Jushi, why did you give me a strange smile earlier?"

Lan Jushi, brought up by Yun Ran, had a face full of bewilderment, clearly clueless about what Yun Ran was talking about.

At this moment, anyone would think that it was Yun Ran making problems out of nothing.

A few big shots from the Northwest Branch were somewhat unhappy with Yun Ran, but now that the car had stopped, they needed to let Yun Ran know this was not a place for her to act rashly.

"Old Lan, tell us, how did you smile? It made others sense something wrong with you!"

This statement carried a bit of annoyance, but Yun Ran didn’t have a hint of guilt.

"Did I smile just now?"

As Lan Jushi said this, everyone was slightly stunned.

"What? You didn’t smile? Then why does she say you smiled strangely?"

As the situation became a bit tense, the other young person, Zhonglisu, hurried out to smooth things over: "Could it be the darkness of the night caused a misjudgment?"

In the eyes of the people of the Northwest Branch, this was their own giving Yun Ran a way out, as long as she said she mistook it, the matter would be over.

They were not petty enough to not let go of a young girl’s mistake.

But Yun Ran did not accept their kindness at all.

She continued: "I do not misjudge. You did smile, and as you just said, you were unaware of it, which makes the matter very serious."

Saying so, Yun Ran took out her turtle shell and handed it to Lan Jushi.

"My fortune-telling is very accurate. You, being from the Xuan Sect, with high Dao progress, should know that under these circumstances, not finding a problem with you can kill everyone during the mission!"

People from the Northwest Branch, upon seeing Yun Ran take out the turtle shell and even talking about divination, got infuriated.

This was an insult – their destinies as Xuanmen people were not so easily divined; this was trouble-making.

But Yun Ran’s last phrase, that it could kill everyone, stifled all their dissatisfaction.

"Old Lan, since she has said so, you better do the divination. It’s better than later having all the blame pointed at you."

The Xuan Sect had its share of internal strife; they were also preventing things before they happened.

Lan Jushi, thinking he had nothing to reproach himself with, serenely took the turtle shell from Yun Ran’s hand, not showing any anger at being targeted by Yun Ran.

This response made Yun Ran appear even more eager for quick success.

Ginsengfruit pouted: [These people are so self-righteous; if you, Host, weren’t kind-hearted, let them die. Why bother to help them find the issue, regardless of what happens, you always manage to get away scot-free.]

Yun Ran ignored Ginsengfruit’s complaint, eyes intently watching the turtle shell in Lan Jushi’s hands.

He shook it a few times, and the copper coins inside fell out.

Those present were all skilled in the arts of Xuan Sect, and although they had different focuses, interpreting the Divination was a piece of cake for them.

Daoist Qingmu looked at the Divination, his eyes widening.

The expressions of the others were also grim; each seemed to have seen something unbelievable.

"Death Divination!"

"How can this be, we’re just going to look for missing tourists and livestock, we’re only there to set up formations, how could it turn out to be the Death Divination?"

"It must be a mistake, shake it again!"

...

Lan Jushi himself was startled by the Divination he produced.

He hastily shook again, and the second time, it was still the Death Divination.

Following that, the third time, it was still the Death Divination. freewebnøvel.coɱ

"Ptui!"

With three Divinations all pointing to death, Yun Ran spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Young friend Yun Ran!"

"She’s been backlashed, quick, get the Healing Medicine!"

Master Jiechen hurriedly brought over his treasure gourd containing his sect’s secret elixir.

Yun Ran, supported by Qingmu, sat back in her seat, only after eating the Healing Medicine, did she look towards the people from the Northwest Branch.

The anger was evident in her eyes: "What exactly are you hiding!"

If it were just following the information known beforehand, this mission would be resolved in at most half a month.

But now, it was the Death Divination, and three times at that, indicating they had nearly no chance of survival.

The people from the Northwest Branch were baffled; if not for the fact that Divination couldn’t be faked, and it was Lan Jushi who made it, they wouldn’t believe it at all.

"Daoist Qingmu, we definitely didn’t hide anything about this mission, or else, we wouldn’t be here either."

Yun Ran paused, feeling much better, before saying: "There’s definitely something that you’ve overlooked, the previous information was incorrect, there is still time to double-check!"

After speaking, she ignored everyone else and began her calculations. How others were, she couldn’t control.

But at the very least, she wouldn’t allow herself to fall here; she had to pull Daoist Qingmu and Master Jiechen along as well.

These bigwigs had been on countless missions, but now they felt somewhat ashamed by Yun Ran’s reminder; they weren’t as calm as a young girl.

Watching Yun Ran’s fingers move rapidly, no one thought anymore that Yun Ran was merely a name without substance.

Others also began using their methods to find the reason for the potential failure of the mission.
