Cannon-Fodder Heiress Turns the Tables by Fortune-Telling-Chapter 712: More Like a Pawn

The previously bustling garden suddenly lost more than half of its people, making the entire garden look much more spacious.

Yun Ran stood on the stage, and from a higher vantage point, naturally saw further.

She easily spotted the tall tower of drinks on the lawn near the garden that had been knocked over.

Several people lay on the ground, with a few onlookers standing nearby, clearly the site of an accident.

The hotel staff had already called the police; they were somewhat curious, but were blocked by the bodyguards hired by the Yun Family at the perimeter.

Yun Ran glanced at Principal Du: "You’d better go back to your room to rest; I can handle this situation."

Principal Du originally wanted to stay; he knew quite a few people at the police station and might be able to help.

Just as he thought about it, he suddenly remembered that Yun Ran was previously from the Special Administration Bureau...

Principal Du immediately showed a slight but polite smile of embarrassment.

"Alright, if you need anything, just call me."

The expensive bodyguards hired by them were indeed effective; in less than ten minutes they had controlled the situation.

All unrelated personnel were ’voluntarily’ sent back to their hotel rooms; the remaining people were those with notable identities.

Yun Ran came down from the stage, and Xuan Chu also hurriedly arrived from the hotel corridor area.

When their eyes met, Xuan Chu lightly shook his head, conveying clearly that he hadn’t discovered anything on that Reincarnator.

"Let’s go over there and take a look together."

As Yun Ran approached, someone immediately stepped forward, holding a tablet computer with a somewhat solemn expression.

"Third Miss, five people are dead. Based on my experience, they seem to have been poisoned. Here is their identity information."

The speaker was the bodyguard captain of the Yun Family; he was a former soldier, and the most skilled kind, serving as Yun Jinyang’s personal bodyguard.

"I understand. Don’t let anyone near here before the police arrive."

Yun Ran took the tablet and felt a headache as soon as she saw the identities of these people.

Xuan Chu didn’t have to look at the tablet’s contents to guess that the identities of the deceased wouldn’t be simple—those who attended were all treasured young ladies from prestigious families.

It stands to reason that these people were murdered, and after death, they would definitely harbor a lot of resentful energy; their souls wouldn’t leave so quickly.

Yet Xuan Chu looked around, but did not find any resentful energy present in the vicinity, let alone souls filled with hostility.

Xuan Chu told Yun Ran what he saw, and then whispered: "In this situation, either their souls were captured by someone.

Or, they themselves were deeply entangled in karma, scattering as soon as they died."

If they hadn’t previously identified that powerful luck Reincarnator, Xuan Chu would certainly lean towards suspecting that someone took their souls.

But now, Xuan Chu believed these individuals probably incurred significant karma, resulting in their own soul shattering upon death.

"Weren’t you following that person named Lan Jun earlier? Did she manage to accurately poison these people under your watch?"

Yun Ran was merely asking, but didn’t expect this question to render Xuan Chu speechless.

He was certain he had been watching Lan Jun the whole time, and all items she held had been replaced.

Yet unexpectedly, matters still progressed in the worst-case direction.

"Previously, I didn’t believe someone could possess luck that strong, but now I do. It seems anything she wants to achieve will mysteriously come to fruition."

This topic immediately hit Yun Ran’s sore spot.

For someone who struggles to drink water without choking, encountering a person with such heaven-defying luck is astonishing.

"Why would someone with such strong luck reincarnate, yet harbor immense hatred and resentment!"

Such fortunate individuals carry a luck buff; for anyone who encounters her, nothing good comes of it.

The five people lying on the ground now are the best examples.

Yun Ran sighed softly, then withdrew her gaze.

It isn’t that she didn’t want to save these people or try to stop Lan Jun.

It’s simply that the opposing luck is too strong, even if she and Xuan Chu intervened, the opponent’s intentions would still be achieved through other means.

Forcefully intervening and angering the opponent might lead to even more severe consequences.

Other remaining Xuanmen people also noticed the five lying on the ground, around whom no yin energy was present.

They were somewhat startled by the scene before them.

"When Yun Ran mentioned someone targeting her little papermen, I believed it but didn’t take it seriously.

Now these people have died inexplicably and their souls aren’t around; could there indeed be an Evil Cultivator among us?"

"That likely won’t happen, after all, it’s Yun Ran’s home territory, directly shaming Qingfeng Temple—how arrogant must one be."

"What else then? I carefully checked with the Compass earlier and there are absolutely none of their souls, they’ve been captured."

"I think these people offended someone; otherwise, why did they alone die out of many others here?"

...

Wanqi Yu naturally heard these discussions too, but clearly held a different opinion.

However, he wasn’t interested in conversing with them, and directly strode towards Yun Ran.

Standing firmly, Wanqi Yu lowered his voice: "I have seen similar situations recorded in the Wanqi Family’s ancient book."

Yun Ran turned her head to glance at Wanqi Yu, though she said nothing, her gaze made it clear to him to continue talking.

Wanqi Yu immediately felt a bit pleased; he hadn’t expected to share some rapport with Yun Ran.

"The ancient book records a type of person, born as a Great Luck bearer, called Luck Koi.

Their beloved people have fortune, prosperity, and longevity; those they despise suffer continuous misfortune, their souls unstable, scattering immediately upon death..."

As she listened, Yun Ran showed no response until hearing that those disliked by Luck Koi scatter upon death.

Her expression turned somewhat peculiar, and her eyes carried a trace of skepticism towards Wanqi Yu.

"Are you sure this is Luck Koi? It seems more like a tool for reversing fortune itself.

And is this Luck Koi really remarkable? If everything conforms to her preferences, society would be in chaos!"
