Cannon-Fodder Heiress Turns the Tables by Fortune-Telling-Chapter 654: Second-Rate Lackey

Xuan Chu returned to the small building where Yun Ran had stayed before, with a soul body of a monkey in his left hand and a soul body of a fox in his right, looking serious.

Yun Ran rested her head on her hand, lazily closing her eyes to relax, looking extremely lazy.

But no one knew, from the outside, she seemed no different from a normal person.

In fact, her body was constantly enduring the fine and dense pain of tearing.

The moment Xuan Chu came in, a series of crisp bell sounds came to Yun Ran’s ears.

Yun Ran opened her eyes and looked Xuan Chu up and down: "Did you get involved with something unclean?"

Her abilities in the Xuan Sect were currently sealed, so naturally, she couldn’t see the two soul bodies that Xuan Chu was holding in his hands.

But this bell sound was from the Magic Artifact given by the ancestor to her. As long as there were those unclean soul bodies around her, the bell would automatically make a sound.

Xuan Chu also heard the bell sound. Hearing Yun Ran’s question, he wasn’t surprised. Anyway, no matter what treasure Yun Ran took out, he found it normal.

"It’s not that I got involved with something unclean, I caught the soul bodies of two animals, and they were trapped inside robot bodies, working endlessly!"

Yun Ran: ...

What did she just hear? How did animal soul bodies get tangled with robots?

Xuan Chu watched Yun Ran rarely showing a confused expression, and felt that finally, there was something that left Yun Ran stunned.

Then, he briefly recounted what had happened before.

This time, Yun Ran was truly silent; she had seen many explosive things, but this was the first time seeing something this explosive.

After a long time, Yun Ran squeezed out a sentence: "This is friggin’ genius!"

"So what do we do now?"

For something like charging into battle, Yun Ran had no objections, but to investigate these obviously troublesome things, Yun Ran truly had no interest.

"Let’s wait for Xie Xuzhi to come, this matter wasn’t handled properly by them initially, leaving such hidden dangers!"

Xuan Chu wasn’t the type to be overly benevolent either. Since Yun Ran wasn’t getting involved, he naturally wasn’t happy to take over.

After trapping the soul bodies of the two animals, Xuan Chu was ready to head to the kitchen to casually whip up some food.

The speed of Xie Xuzhi and his team’s arrival was much faster than Yun Ran had expected; she thought they’d arrive by evening at the earliest.

Unexpectedly, just after they finished a light meal, the Special Administration Bureau’s private jet had arrived.

After Xie Xuzhi and his team got off the plane, they arranged for people to take over Gu Li and the others, who had been tied up by Yun Ran, as well as those obviously strange robots, before coming to find Yun Ran.

At first glance at Yun Ran, Xie Xuzhi frowned, compared to the last time, Yun Ran had obviously lost a lot of weight, and her face also looked a bit pale.

"Are you injured?"

Yun Ran waved her hand nonchalantly: "Just a minor injury, it’ll heal with some rest."

But this didn’t alleviate Xie Xuzhi’s concern; he had seen Yun Ran injured before.

In the past, even if Yun Ran was unconscious from severe injuries, once she woke up, she’d immediately be energetic and lively. In short, she always seemed vigorous, full of life force.

But the current Yun Ran, seemed just like someone chronically ill, not only looking pale but even her speaking was much weaker.

Especially seeing Yun Ran walk with a visibly unsteady gait, this definitely wasn’t an ordinary injury.

But seeing Yun Ran clearly unwilling to continue on this topic, Xie Xuzhi also had to temporarily suppress his worries.

"Sorry, when this island was allocated under your name initially, it was my people who didn’t handle it cleanly, leaving hidden dangers."

To say Yun Ran was very concerned, she wasn’t. After all, this small island was obtained for free, so naturally, there was more tolerance for it.

If this small island had been something she’d spent money on, she would’ve transformed into the most critical of people.

"It’s fine. People’s minds are like bellies, no one dares guarantee one hundred percent that those around them are truly their own people."

Compared to her own troublesome matters, Xie Xuzhi getting stabbed in the back by a confidant was evidently worse.

"I heard you got into it with the Zhang Family in Huannan?"

Yun Ran looked at Xie Xuzhi with some surprise, clearly not expecting such a busy person to even know about such trivial matters.

Xie Xuzhi lightly coughed before continuing: "The Zhang Family is about to ally with the Jiang Family from the Capital City; the Jiang Family is related by marriage to the Murong Family of the Four Great Families..."

Xie Xuzhi didn’t say the rest, but Yun Ran already understood his meaning.

The Zhang Family, in simple terms, was the Murong Family’s second-in-command in Huannan.

The richest Zhao Family in Huannan was the Xie Family’s lackey, and when the Zhao Family was personally dismantled by the Xie Family, the situation in Huannan obviously changed.

The Zhang Family worked so hard; they must’ve wanted to replace the Zhao Family as Huannan’s richest family.

But the Xie Family definitely wouldn’t support them, so they reached out to the Murong Family.

For the Murong Family, a lackey came to them willingly, so they passively accepted, which didn’t count as completely falling out with the Xie Family.

Tsk tsk tsk, what a grand play.

"Will the Murong Family’s people directly confront me?"

Though Yun Ran wasn’t that afraid, if the Murong Family really wanted to target her, it would be quite troublesome.

"They won’t."

The people of the Four Great Families have an unwritten agreement; the people below can mess around, but they themselves cannot easily step in.

Xie Xuzhi was clearly telling her that the opposing side had referees, but so did she, and furthermore, the referees couldn’t step in directly, so she could do as she pleased.

Soon, someone came looking for Xie Xuzhi, clearly having discovered something important.

Xie Xuzhi hastily left.

Xuan Chu watched Yun Ran, who showed no curiosity about what the Special Administration Bureau people had discovered, still yawning. He, too, turned to continue with his tasks.

As it got dark, every corner of the island was lit, without any hint of coldness or isolation.

In the following days, everyone else was busy, except Yun Ran and Xuan Chu, who lazily wandered around.

The two even took a yacht and toured the nearby sea area extensively.

They ate so much seafood that they didn’t want to eat it anymore.

This made the other people from the Special Administration Bureau, who were busy as dogs, incredibly envious.

"I finally understand why Lady Yun doesn’t return to the Special Administration Bureau; this is just too leisurely."

"Envy won’t get you anywhere; if we had Lady Yun’s skills, we could be like the other stationed big shots and only go out for missions, being very relaxed otherwise."

"What’s wrong with being leisurely? If even Lady Yun is as busy as a dog, that would mean something truly terrible has happened!"
