Cannon-Fodder Heiress Turns the Tables by Fortune-Telling-Chapter 672: Exchange of Interests

Yun Ran’s words rendered Wanqi Yu silent, and he even felt a tinge of regret. He shouldn’t have said he was Yun Ran’s sworn brother.

He wasn’t someone who held strong masculine pride, he just purely felt that as a brother, in front of a ’multi-talented’ sister, it was a bit embarrassing.

If Yun Ran didn’t know he was her sworn brother, he wouldn’t be so ashamed.

Ah~

"Coming to me as the Young Master of the Wanqi Family, what brings you here?"

Yun Ran wasn’t interested in exploring what Wanqi Yu’s current feelings were; she just wanted to know why he had come.

Wanqi Yu, who was feeling a bit rueful moments ago, quickly adjusted his mindset and got into a business talk mode.

Straight to the point, he said, "I need the credit for dealing with those Evil Cultivators this time."

Yun Ran: ...

Goodness, this man really didn’t treat her as an outsider at all.

It was no different from directly reaching out to her for money!

Fortunately, Wanqi Yu hadn’t finished his sentence; he paused and continued to say, "I will compensate you in resources for this credit in private."

Yun Ran’s eyelids twitched; cleaning up these Evil Cultivators accrued quite a bit of merit, but for her, it wasn’t actually much.

Venturing her own grievances was one thing; the end result was just receiving some compensation.

Now Wanqi Yu’s intention was to offer more compensation directly to exchange for this credit.

For Yun Ran, this meant cutting out the middleman, which was clearly a benefit.

Without much thought, Yun Ran nodded in agreement, "Sure."

Yun Ran’s quick agreement left Wanqi Yu somewhat at a loss; he even considered offering Yun Ran double or even triple the compensation.

Thinking of this, Wanqi Yu directly asked, "Did you agree so easily? Aren’t you curious about what kind of compensation chips I’ll offer?"

Yun Ran gave Wanqi Yu a speechless glance, "Nobody has ever pulled a White Wolf out of thin air with me; those who only do business once with me are left regretting it, but it won’t ever be me.

Perhaps this credit for eliminating these Evil Cultivators is important to you, but for me, it’s just an ordinary occurrence.

In the future, there will be plenty of such matters, and I naturally don’t mind."

Yun Ran was self-aware; with her temperament, being passive was impossible. Though this time she was implicated by He Tu,

In fact, if it were her alone, the degree of ’offending people’ would be about the same as the issues He Tu stirred up.

In terms of being hated, Yun Ran felt she was following her junior uncle’s path; her junior uncle received much ’adoration’ from fellow practitioners, and equally much hatred from the Evil ones.

Nonetheless, Yun Ran didn’t feel there was anything wrong with this. After all, internal friction was not something she would ever have.

Being hated by others was their problem, not hers, and she wasn’t the one holding grudges.

Wanqi Yu was once again stuffed by Yun Ran’s words.

However, maybe he didn’t want Yun Ran to think he as her sworn brother was purely a profit-driven person.

Wanqi Yu still explained his reason for needing this merit.

"The Wanqi Family used to be a Great Clan in the southern Xuan Sect, but unfortunately, during the Great Chaos of the Xuan Sect, those who once supported the Wanqi Family either perished or started independent sects.

Even the clan members internally fought, dividing the resources and Cultivation Techniques meant only for the Direct Lineage.

I am a descendant of one branch of the Wanqi Family’s Direct Lineage that migrated to Huannan with the flow.

Our ancestors were not remarkably gifted, but they were pragmatic, knowing that misfortune arises when abilities and resources are mismatched.

So after arriving here, they had their confidant hide away with their youngest child.

The Direct Lineage of the Wanqi Family in Huannan thus split into a light and a dark line.

The outcome was as our ancestors foresaw; even when the Wanqi Family disintegrated, its resources were beyond the reach of others.

All of the visible members of the Wanqi Family in Huannan were wiped out overnight, and all resources were seized clean.

The Direct Lineages in other areas faced similar fates. Now, the Wanqi Family only exists in historical remembrances.

For so many years, my ancestors worked diligently in secret, traveling across mountains and rivers, bringing back scattered family members from all over.

We need a rightful opportunity, preferably to become famous in one battle, for the Wanqi Family to strongly return..."

Yun Ran was adept at catching the main point; in Wanqi Yu’s words, the final sentences were crucial.

"Is there anyone obstructing the Wanqi Family’s return to the ranks of Mystical Sects?"

Wanqi Yu’s gaze flickered as he looked at Yun Ran, silence speaking louder than words.

If no one was obstructing, repeatedly sabotaging in the dark, even redirecting disasters, the Wanqi Family wouldn’t have so many unformed talents killed prematurely.

He survived because the elders in the family swapped him out, sending him to kneel at a foster father’s side.

That cousin who stayed in the clan on his behalf, weeds now grew high on his grave.

This opportunity, they’ve waited for far too long, so giving up is not an option.

If not for this, Wanqi Yu would never have thought of robbing Yun Ran, even with resources in exchange.

"If what you say is true, and countless powerful forces are pressing down, stifling you, then it makes sense."

After all, those people took the Wanqi Family’s resources and the lives of unformed talents through various means.

This is no longer a simple relationship of thieves and rightful owners, but of deadly enemies.

Who would allow an archenemy to rise again comfortably? That’s just asking for trouble.

Those former thieves, robbers, and murderers would naturally join forces to suppress the people of the Wanqi Family.

For anyone else, hearing they’re involved in a family feud that has spanned over a hundred years would absolutely compel them to err on the side of caution.

But Yun Ran, born rebellious, had no interest in being a judge but found the current Mystical Sect aristocrats honestly annoying and wanted to see them fail.

As for whether she’d be targeted or even resented by them, Yun Ran could only scoff.

As if by doing nothing, they’d start seeing her favorably.

Her Qingfeng Temple, and now the businesses with the Sihui Sect, had just begun and were already under surveillance.

Then she might as well assist the Wanqi Family, stirring the waters, preventing those people from always eyeing others’ possessions.

"I’ll cooperate with you on this matter."
