Cannon-Fodder Heiress Turns the Tables by Fortune-Telling-Chapter 610 - 609: You Can’t Gamble on Human Nature
Xuan Chu no longer cared about Yun Ran, after all, he had come to realize that even if everyone else was struggling, Yun Ran was living quite comfortably.
He immediately calmed his mind and continued with the task of drawing Luck Charms as he had before.
He drew several of them and the air conditioning in the RV was still working well, the air remaining fresh.
There wasn’t any dusty smell wafting in, like what happens when water is splashed on a scorching ground.
Only then did Xuan Chu belatedly notice the gap in the car door, which was completely clean, with no dirty water flowing in at all.
Previously, he had personally seen how dirty the RV’s exterior was, getting drenched in rain, and yet not a drop of filthy water flowed down?
For some reason, a scene of Yun Ran holding a Feather Fan suddenly popped into Xuan Chu’s mind.
Hearing Yun Ran’s wild laughter coming from behind the curtain, Xuan Chu ultimately couldn’t hold back.
"Yun Ran, can I take a look at that fan you had earlier?"
Yun Ran was now considered an ordinary person, and logically, apart from a defensive Magic Artifact, she wouldn’t be able to use any others.
Moreover, when Yun Ran used that Feather Fan earlier, he had subconsciously ignored the possibility that it could be a Magic Artifact.
The game sounds abruptly halted as Yun Ran pulled the curtain open with a swish.
Yun Ran’s expression seemed unchanged from before, but Xuan Chu faintly felt that he had disturbed her.
Yun Ran pouted slightly, "You can only look!"
Her tone suggested that she was worried he wouldn’t want to return it once he got it in his hand.
Xuan Chu found this amusing.
Although Yun Ran’s Qingfeng Temple seemed to have an extraordinary heritage, their Heavenly Dao Village was no less equipped, with plenty of great items.
Why would he have any covetous thoughts about Yun Ran’s belongings? He wasn’t that kind of person!
He confidently replied, "Naturally, of course."
As soon as Xuan Chu had finished speaking, a Little Paperman handed the Feather Fan over to him.
The Feather Fan felt very good to the touch, with a smooth and slippery sensation; its appearance was light and pleasing to the eye.
But soon, he realized the peculiar traits of this Feather Fan.
It seemed to be made from the feathers of some magical bird with high spiritual wisdom, possessing abilities he didn’t understand.
A slight sway of the fan, and he distinctly felt the flow of air that he hadn’t noticed before.
Xuan Chu’s eyes widened in shock.
"Could it be that this... this Feather Fan is modeled after Princess Iron Fan’s Palm Leaf Fan?"
The difference, perhaps, is that the Palm Leaf Fan can extinguish the flames of Fire Mountain and blow people tens of thousands of miles away.
Whereas this Feather Fan, besides being able to blow things away, can create its own enclosed space, like a steel barrel, preventing anything from intruding.
Xuan Chu’s curiosity was piqued; he quickly regretted his earlier words.
Of course, Xuan Chu didn’t want to covet Yun Ran’s precious Magic Artifact; he just wanted to study it for a bit.
The Little Paperman was waiting beside him, clearly ready to take the Feather Fan back after he was done.
After some hesitation, Xuan Chu said to Yun Ran, "Can I look at it a bit longer?"
Yun Ran: ...
See? She knew, once ordinary people got a glimpse of these treasure-like Magic Artifacts, there was no way they’d stay calm.
This is despite Xuan Chu being quite powerful and well-off himself.
Even if he lacked greed, there was still curiosity; if it were someone else, their eyes would probably turn red with envy.
Yun Ran had hidden these treasures well from the start. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎
She was just afraid that high-ranking, yet feeble people would catch wind of it and swarm over like flies.
Don’t even talk about keeping secrets—nothing remains a secret for such persons of power.
Once one person knows, others in the same circle also know.
Every single act of trying one’s luck with these individuals means handing over your fate and that of those behind you.
Yun Ran always maintained the highest level of vigilance against them.
This was also why, after saving Xie Xuzhi that time, Yun Ran got furious when her Lifebound Magical Artifact resonated with his.
If she weren’t committed to the Righteous Path, Xie Xuzhi’s grave might have long been overgrown with grass.
Even with her ’strategic cooperative relationship’ with Yun Jinyang being unusual, she never considered giving him protective Magic Artifacts of this kind.
Sighing softly, Yun Ran said, "These things can’t be revealed to the public; you can look, but don’t think of reproducing them on a large scale, or else there will be no peace."
Yun Ran’s words hit Xuan Chu like a hammer, making him pause.
Just moments ago, he did indeed have a fleeting thought of wanting to reproduce the Feather Fan.
He utterly neglected the premise that human nature is unpredictable, especially in the face of immense benefit.
Yun Ran could use these Magic Artifacts because her reputation preceded her; anyone who knew Yun Ran knew she was an impressive Dark Master.
People might covet Yun Ran’s Magic Artifacts, but they wouldn’t go crazy like hyenas hunting prey.
There are barriers between ordinary people or those of average talent in the Xuan Sect and someone as exceptionally talented as Yun Ran.
Especially for those high-status ’ordinary people,’ they couldn’t use the Magic Artifacts of a Dark Master.
No matter how valuable a thing is, if it’s useless to oneself, it’s still nothing more than junk.
Except for him and his master who knew Yun Ran was now an ordinary person, no one else did.
So no matter what kind of treasure Yun Ran showed, it wouldn’t cause any disturbances.
But if he really succeeded in reproducing the Feather Fan, even if only one got out, the consequences would be unimaginable for Heavenly Dao Village, no matter its prestigious standing.
In that moment, Xuan Chu fiercely realized the gap between himself and Yun Ran.
Despite Yun Ran’s young age, she was as worldly-wise as a seasoned veteran.
It seemed that no schemes, no fathomless minds could faze her; she could face and deal with them openly.
Xuan Chu subconsciously gulped, feeling like a naive rookie compared to Yun Ran.
After his expression fluctuated, Xuan Chu finally managed to utter a few words with difficulty, "Sorry, I had the wrong idea."
He handed the Feather Fan back to the Little Paperman beside him, his curiosity drowned out by the potential trouble.
Suddenly, Xuan Chu seemed to remember something, his expression changing slightly.
"Previously, I helped some Outer Sect members improve some talisman papers and Magic Artifacts. Do you think someone’s disappearance might be related to this..."
