Cannon-Fodder Heiress Turns the Tables by Fortune-Telling-Chapter 594 - 593: It’s Not Your Fault! (2 Updates)
Xuan Chu looked at Yun Ran, then at the box beside her, and the three cars following behind.
Yun Ran glanced at the driver, "You leave one car behind, you can go."
The one left was a camper. As soon as the other two cars disappeared, the little paperman that had been pretending to be a sticker immediately ’came to life’.
Xuan Chu, looking at the obviously well-prepared Yun Ran, couldn’t help but twitch his mouth; those unaware might think Yun Ran was here on vacation.
Seeing Xuan Chu now looking dusty and worn, Yun Ran also gave him a once-over, her expression subtly bemused.
"You really look miserable!"
"You seem to know how to enjoy yourself."
They spoke simultaneously, and then exchanged a smile of mutual understanding.
The little paperman "diligently" began categorizing the items Yun Ran brought in those boxes, and Xuan Chu unceremoniously boarded the camper.
Looking at the fresh and appetizing fruits, Xuan Chu coolly devoured quite a few, unable to resist remarking, "This is the life!"
"Those who endure hardship will always be burdened with it. I’m different, I resolutely avoid hardship when it’s unnecessary."
Xuan Chu: ...
Reflecting on their rough living conditions while searching for those missing people, he suddenly felt like a fool.
"Let’s get to the point. What’s the situation that even someone from Heavenly Dao Village can’t figure out and needs my help?"
Heavenly Dao Village has plenty of depth, and in certain respects, the people from Heavenly Dao Village can utterly outclass someone from Qingfeng Temple like her.
At this, the faint smile on Xuan Chu’s face promptly drooped.
Even though there was no one else around and even little papermen were on guard, Xuan Chu cautiously tossed out several Space Separation Talismans.
This cautious attitude caused Yun Ran’s heart to tighten inexplicably.
"I suspect that there’s a problem with the Heavenly Dao!"
Yun Ran’s eyes immediately widened, her gaze filled with some astonishment.
"What?"
Previously, he was the spiritual leader for everyone; even when sensing a slight anomaly, he never showed a hint of it.
If he hadn’t known about Yun Ran’s background and witnessed much, he probably wouldn’t have had anywhere to confide.
"People missing from the outer sect of Heavenly Dao Village, in theory, should be traceable anywhere in this world, using the secret techniques of Heavenly Dao Village, without fail.
Yet, unexpectedly, I discovered that a part of the Heavenly Dao seems to be missing, which is why after using the secret techniques, I only got some fragmented clues."
Recalling that the reason he left the mountain was because the Heavenly Dao foretold the appearance of someone who would bring chaos to the world, pointing directly at Yun Ran.
But after getting to know Yun Ran and considering her inherent righteous lineage, he was very sure Yun Ran was definitely not the bringer of chaos.
This realization instilled unprecedented fear in Xuan Chu; all along, people from Heavenly Dao Village acted under the will of the Heavenly Dao.
But the Heavenly Dao had appeared incomplete without their knowledge, which might mean...
Some consequences, Xuan Chu didn’t even dare to imagine, fearing the emergence of some unforeseen variables.
Seeing the fleeting terror in Xuan Chu’s eyes, Yun Ran herself inexplicably felt a chill down her spine.
The Heavenly Dao is the rule of power that governs a world. If there’s a problem with it...
"Did you notice anything amiss when you entered this world?"
Listening to Xuan Chu’s words, Yun Ran began recalling things she had previously overlooked.
The Ginsengfruit had mentioned that this is the world of a novel, where the male and female leads are her biological mother and stepfather, in a sweet romance novel.
And this novel was something the Ginsengfruit randomly pulled from its system space to save her when she fell off a mountain.
But after entering this world, the female lead’s characterization, her biological mother, was a bit off; using her own daughter to gain a good reputation wasn’t quite in line with a sweet romance narrative—it seemed a bit worldview-shattering.
Plus, after entering this world, she didn’t follow the predetermined path of death in the storyline.
Yun Ran recounted everything she knew.
Then she continued, "If there’s anything wrong, it’s probably that I’m still alive, altering the path of this book’s ending." 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺
Yun Ran’s current status has become quite unusual; the Yun Family astutely sent the female lead Qu Ying away.
Though Qu Ying was still living the life of a wealthy socialite, she was no longer around to be an eyesore to Yun Ran, which was the Yun Family’s accounting to Yun Ran.
Listening to Yun Ran finish her story, Xuan Chu appeared somewhat dazed; clearly, this revelation had a profound impact on him.
He could never have guessed this world was merely a book, that he, a living person, was no more than a character without even a name.
Yun Ran knew it was hard to believe, so she fell silent, waiting for Xuan Chu to digest it all.
After a long time, Xuan Chu let out a deep, embarrassed sigh.
"It seems you are the greatest variable. The Life Chart that the Heavenly Dao rejected on you should have already led to an early grave for anyone else.
But you’re lively and kicking, proving that the Heavenly Dao truly can’t do anything about you. The prediction of you being world-destroying, was probably the Heavenly Dao seeking to alter the plot by eliminating you!"
Remembering that they emerged only because the Heavenly Dao indicated Yun Ran was a harbinger of destruction.
The Heavenly Dao should theoretically be fair and impartial, favoring no one and targeting no one. Yet its prediction sought to eliminate Yun Ran by using them.
Xuan Chu didn’t know why, but he suddenly felt his perception being torn apart.
Yun Ran noticed that despite Xuan Chu’s current state, he remained calm and did not show signs of a crisis of faith.
He even started searching for evidence immediately after detecting abnormalities.
Now assured that the Heavenly Dao was indeed malfunctioning, Yun Ran felt somewhat guilty, unable to make eye contact with Xuan Chu.
"It’s not your fault!"
Listening to Xuan Chu, Yun Ran looked at him in surprise. She thought, given he was from Heavenly Dao Village, he would resolutely uphold the Heavenly Dao’s will.
If the Heavenly Dao wanted her dead, he would have to enforce its will.
Xuan Chu reaffirmed, "It’s not your fault. Wanting to live isn’t your problem!"
It takes immense courage for someone taught from birth to uphold the will of the Heavenly Dao to admit that a person rejected by it isn’t wrong.
"However, I need your help; the Heavenly Dao should be fair, indifferent to good or evil. With such deviation, something significant must be wrong at its core. I need to find this bug to uphold the true order of the Heavenly Dao!"
