Cannon-Fodder Heiress Turns the Tables by Fortune-Telling-Chapter 690: Too Many Coincidences Are Not Coincidences Anymore
Xuan Chu’s gaze still did not leave Zhang Weilin, who was tied up like a zongzi.
Finally, he could clearly see the curse mark on her body, wriggling very slowly, as if it were alive.
Xuan Chu suddenly felt his stomach churn; the way the curse mark squirmed was really a bit disgusting.
He turned to look at Yun Ran not far away, eating dumplings with great gusto, and Xuan Chu sighed once more, Yun Ran’s mentality was truly commendable.
He couldn’t believe that Yun Ran hadn’t noticed something he could see, yet Yun Ran seemed completely unaffected.
Clearly, their Heavenly Dao Village’s heritage is not lacking, so why isn’t he as mature and steady as Yun Ran?
It seems that in the future, when he becomes an elder of Heavenly Dao Village, he must change the way disciples are trained.
It can’t just be ’raising them in captivity.’ It’s better to let them experience the world sooner.
Although Yun Ran kept stuffing things into her mouth, her senses were still very keen, so she naturally sensed the gaze from behind.
After swallowing the dumpling in her mouth, she turned her head and smiled, "What’s up?"
With Xuan Chu, although she sometimes found him quite annoying,
he was at least considered ’of good stock,’ so she was still willing to show him a bit of kindness.
Xuan Chu returned a smile before saying, "Nothing, just that your previous suggestion was pretty good."
This answer honestly puzzled Yun Ran. What had she suggested?
It’s not surprising that Yun Ran couldn’t recall. Although she talked a lot, she wasn’t someone who liked lecturing, much less those with a heavy patriarchal tone.
Most of the time, she’d just say something in passing and wouldn’t really remember what ’advice’ she gave.
Seeing Yun Ran’s bewildered look, Xuan Chu was amused. It was rare to see the shrewd Yun Ran showing such a silly expression.
Especially now, with Yun Ran squatting on the ground, looking like a small, childlike figure.
Xuan Chu suddenly realized that, unknowingly, he had completely treated Yun Ran as a peer.
Yun Ran wasn’t someone who liked to guess what others were thinking, seeing Xuan Chu’s face change repeatedly,
she directly spoke, "Stop freaking out!"
Xuan Chu: ...
Hehe, whoever’s really fooled by Yun Ran’s ’childish’ appearance is in for a bad time.
"I just thought that your previous point about the way Heavenly Dao Village teaches its disciples being too idealistic was right; they should indeed go out and hone themselves more."
On this matter, Yun Ran felt she had a lot to say.
"That’s right. When I was only three, Uncle Master took me out for training. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have such courage and broad knowledge.
Later, when I could protect myself, I went out with my senior brothers and sisters. North, south, wherever there was trouble, we’d go..."
Listening to Yun Ran talk about her training experience, Xuan Chu silently withdrew his earlier sentiment.
At the same time, he gathered an important piece of information: Yun Ran, this person, couldn’t resist flattery and liked to ’show off’!
"You better finish your dumplings; they’re getting cold."
Since coming to this world, besides the people from Heavenly Dao Village, there was no one Yun Ran could talk about her past with.
No one knew that although she seemed very happy now, deep down, she missed the people from Qingfeng Temple.
Once she started talking about the past, it was hard to stop.
She didn’t know if they were thinking of her (they weren’t; knowing Yun Ran wasn’t dead, they went about their own business).
Reminded by Xuan Chu about the cold dumplings, Yun Ran quickly ceased her chatter and continued eating.
After finishing, the empty feeling in her stomach finally went away.
As they left, Xuan Chu kept several meters away from Zhang Weilin, afraid of getting too close.
Finally reaching the parking spot, Xuan Chu turned to the Little Paperman and said, "You carry her, fly behind the car back."
Little Paperman: ...
It hadn’t intended to get in the car anyway, considering it was carrying someone tied like a zongzi, bloodstained all over.
The car space was so small; what if it stank up the owner?
After speaking, Xuan Chu paused, seemingly afraid the Little Paperman would misunderstand and feel rejected,
he added, "I don’t mean to look down on you..."
The Little Paperman nodded continuously, "Understood!"
This time, it was Xuan Chu who was at a loss for words.
Sometimes, when a magic artifact develops spiritual wisdom and even understands human nature, it makes him feel a bit petty.
Yun Ran got into the car, glanced at Xuan Chu, and then said, "You also noticed something was wrong with that curse mark?"
Xuan Chu paused before nodding, "Yes, that curse mark is obviously alive. Although I didn’t recognize exactly what it was, it gave me a very bad feeling, a bit nauseating."
For someone at his level of cultivation to feel that way, it meant the curse mark was certainly unusual; it was better to stay away.
Listening to Xuan Chu’s words, Yun Ran rubbed her fingers together before responding, "Looks like my previous suspicion was right, that curse mark is Rong Gu’s big move!"
As for not saving someone in danger or lacking empathy, for someone with absolute power in the Xuan Sect, sometimes reputation doesn’t matter that much.
Even if people knew Yun Ran was cold-hearted, it wouldn’t affect her much.
"You suspect that curse mark... then why send the Zhang family’s young lady to the Xuan Sect Association?
Are you trying to test if someone in the Xuan Sect Association knows about this curse mark?"
Yun Ran nodded. Rong Gu’s appearance in Huannan was too easy, even managing to avoid the detection of those in Heavenly Dao Village.
Conveniently finding a Yin Nourishing Land in Huannan and completing the setup without a trace.
Too many coincidences aren’t coincidences at all.
"What if that curse mark harms innocent people..."
Before Xuan Chu finished speaking, he suddenly recalled that it was the Little Paperman carrying Zhang Weilin.
The Little Paperman naturally carried the aura of Heavenly Thunder, enough to suppress the curse seal.
Though the curse mark was sinister, its power was naturally limited since it was attached to Zhang Weilin, and with the Little Paperman’s ability, it could manage the scene.
It turned out, when Yun Ran made her decision, she had already kept all dangers within controllable limits.
Even if they didn’t flush out the Xuan Sect Association’s mole, exposing the curse mark served as a warning to those people.
Don’t think that turning a blind eye makes you safe.
The sinister paths are always greedy and ruthless; once you give them a chance, no one will have peace.
