Cannon-Fodder Heiress Turns the Tables by Fortune-Telling-Chapter 893 - 891: A Familiar Feeling

This time, Dragon Spirit truly believed that the Little Paperman hadn’t been melodramatic, but had indeed suffered great hardships.

When the other members of the Special Administration Bureau saw this scene, they all gasped in shock.

This was an incredibly hard Magic Artifact, yet it shattered like tofu when hit by these hidden mechanisms.

Fortunately, the Little Paperman had scouted ahead first, and Brother Long had discovered the blind spots.

Otherwise, when they used the Magic Artifact to fend off these hidden projectiles...

The people of the Special Administration Bureau didn’t dare to think further.

Especially knowing that these mechanisms were originally meant for them, it sent chills down their spines.

The young man who handed the Magic Artifact to Dragon Spirit was at a loss for words.

"Brother Long..."

Although Dragon Spirit was a bit troubled by the current situation, he wasn’t completely helpless. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

His body now contained part of the Dragon Core from both the Fire Dragon and the Ice Dragon. Regardless of how formidable the traps here were, there was a threshold.

After pondering, Dragon Spirit once again took out the ice sphere and infused some cold energy into the secret passage.

The traps made of energy waves were frozen by the cold and fell to the ground, not merging into the surface.

Yet, as more ice accumulated on the ground, the traps continued unabated.

Dragon Spirit immediately realized that simply using cold had limited effects on these traps.

"We need to find out the triggering mechanism of these traps first."

While Dragon Spirit and the other members of the Special Administration Bureau gathered to discuss,

the Little Paperman looked at Xie Xuzhi, who stood aside like an outsider, and suddenly felt a bit sympathetic for his lack of Xuan Sect skills. It was akin to being marginalized.

Immediately, it sidled up to Xie Xuzhi.

In a cutesy voice, it comforted him, "Director Xie, don’t be discouraged. Each field has its specialists. You may not know Xuan Sect techniques, but you have a sharp mind and deep strategy."

Xie Xuzhi: ...

Seeing the Little Paperman racking its brains to comfort him, he thought about finding it some proper study materials once this matter concluded. Watching these chaotic videos resulted in using all sorts of odd phrases.

"Thank you for comforting me."

The Little Paperman chuckled, "No need to thank me; we’re old friends after all."

Saying this, the Little Paperman extended its tiny hand, patting Xie Xuzhi’s shoulder with a friendly gesture.

Xie Xuzhi genuinely couldn’t do much about the Little Paperman, so he simply changed the topic.

"I’m not discouraged, just recalling some data I saw earlier. Some mechanisms in this passage seem familiar to what I saw in an ancient book before."

His insistence on coming wasn’t because he felt he needed to personally contribute as the Director, thus feeling uneasy.

Often, those in positions of real power don’t need to empathize with those below them.

They don’t even need to care about their feelings.

Xie Xuzhi could simultaneously manage most of the Xie Family’s businesses and handle a large number of tasks at the Special Administration Bureau.

He certainly wasn’t someone chasing fame and glory.

If he worried that his lack of Xuan Sect skills would lead to mockery by his subordinates, he would never have held his position in the Special Administration Bureau.

Not to mention controlling the seasoned members of the Bureau and those from all the Mystical Sects.

The only reason Xie Xuzhi insisted on coming was that he suspected Jia Feng was the one controlling the main point of the Underground Palace.

In terms of Xuan Sect abilities and strategies, Jia Feng was undoubtedly formidable.

Xie Xuzhi feared that if the Bureau’s members faced Jia Feng, they would surely suffer a major loss.

Here, he was the only one capable of challenging Jia Feng.

The Little Paperman didn’t know the true reason for Xie Xuzhi’s presence, but upon hearing that Xie Xuzhi found the mechanisms familiar,

it excitedly asked, "Did you remember any details?"

Its eagerness wasn’t without reason. Though it was a Magic Artifact, it held grudges like anyone else.

Since being crafted by its master, the Little Paperman had only endured grievances and injuries a few times.

Most importantly, it despised the energy waves that humbled it.

Remembering this, it patted its now painless arm, feeling more and more aggrieved.

If only the master were here~

The Little Paperman never considered the possibility that Dragon Spirit or Xie Xuzhi would stand up for it.

Its sense of boundaries was remarkably clear.

No matter how good its relationship with Dragon Spirit or Xie Xuzhi was, it would never treat them as it did its master, Yun Ran.

Xie Xuzhi pondered before saying, "Those materials were things I saw before I was ten."

Perhaps because he was very young at the time, Jia Feng was wary of him but not as defensively as he would be with an adult.

So, he had the opportunity to browse books in Jia Feng’s study.

If not for today’s situation, Xie Xuzhi would’ve almost forgotten about it.

The Little Paperman grew anxious—memories from before ten seemed tenuous.

It was well aware of human memory.

Especially in young ones, some incidents are unforgettable, etched deeply into memory.

But others, less significant, are easily forgotten.

It wished Director Xie shared the same prodigious talent as its master, who never forgot anything read.

"Remember as much as you can; it might help!"

Then, Xie Xuzhi said, "My memory is exceptional; even childhood events are clear, but this memory is old, so I need to recall it."

Hearing this, the Little Paperman’s eyes widened with surprise. Director Xie had a memory similar to its host.

The Little Paperman felt even more regretful.

Such a talented person was misguided in thinking he wasn’t suited to study Xuan Sect’s magic.

Later, a vicious curse was placed on him, nearly costing him his life.

The Little Paperman imagined if it happened to itself, (⊙o⊙)... it would almost explode from anger!!!

How did Xie Xuzhi feel upon learning the truth?

Someone so intelligent, orchestrating everything, even risking his life for calculations,

only to be told it was all a plan from the start, even his death.

How cruel.

The Little Paperman sighed, then drifted to Xie Xuzhi’s shoulder, sitting down.

It reached out, embracing Xie Xuzhi’s head in a comforting hug.
