Cannon-Fodder Heiress Turns the Tables by Fortune-Telling-Chapter 748 - 746: Not Treating Himself Like an Outsider at All

Chapter 748: Chapter 746: Not Treating Himself Like an Outsider at All

Xuan Chu’s words made Yun Ran’s gaze freeze: "Are you saying you were backlashed by that person’s scheme?"

Yun Ran is very clever, often looking at problems from astonishingly unconventional angles and guessing some secrets.

But in this situation, Yun Ran was genuinely a bit bewildered; ultimately, her understanding of Heavenly Dao Village was limited.

Xuan Chu nodded and then let go of his sleeve, covering up the black lines on his arm.

"I told you before, when the Forbidden Book of Heavenly Dao Village was stolen, it was a significant loss. I thought that person only exploited someone from Heavenly Dao Village.

But now it seems that person probably once moved freely in Heavenly Dao Village, and might have even learned Heavenly Dao Village’s magic.

This morning, I tried investigating using the secret techniques of Heavenly Dao Village, but ended up severely injured and backlashed.

And this wasn’t an ordinary backlash; someone deliberately devised a method to counter Heavenly Dao Village’s secret techniques, and I was caught off guard."

Yun Ran immediately understood the implication in Xuan Chu’s words.

Simply put, they suspected that the thief who stole the Forbidden Book was likely an internal suspect.

Otherwise, even if that person was a genius and learned all the Forbidden Techniques in the Forbidden Book, wanting to devise a method to specifically counter Heavenly Dao Village’s secret techniques would be delusional.

Yun Ran genuinely felt a bit sympathetic for Xuan Chu this time.

Being injured wasn’t the biggest issue; having your proud secret technique deciphered, and a specific counter method set up, that was truly heartbreaking.

Yun Ran reached out and patted Xuan Chu’s shoulder: "Look on the bright side, at least we have a lot more clues now. Once we catch that person’s descendants, I won’t fight you for them."

Xuan Chu: ...

He wasn’t that fragile, and that comfort wasn’t very heartfelt.

"It’s fine, I’ve already notified the master; the master’s skills are deeper than mine, and he can use more secret techniques than I can.

I refuse to believe that person back then really had such capabilities to crack all of Heavenly Dao Village’s secret techniques!"

Given the current situation here at Five Emperors Mountain, it was evident that person had spent a huge amount of effort here.

Putting it on Heavenly Dao Village naturally meant less investment there.

Xuan Chu speculated, if it wasn’t for preventing pursuit from Heavenly Dao Village, that person wouldn’t bother spending time on these scheming methods.

"Then get some rest and wait for Elder Xuan Kong to come."

Yun Ran had a premonition they probably had just this one peaceful night; the coming days would surely be chaotic.

Having left Xuan Chu, Yun Ran went to knock on Dragon Spirit’s door again.

If she didn’t know Dragon Spirit was injured, that would be one thing.

Now that she knew, if she didn’t visit to say a few words, it would seem a bit uncaring.

Dragon Spirit heard the knock, and even without opening the door, he already sensed Yun Ran’s presence.

In the past, when Yun Ran came looking for him, he would definitely play hard to get before opening the door.

He had to show Yun Ran that he wasn’t the kind of dragon who could be summoned or dismissed casually.

But now, missing half of his Dragon Soul, he really wasn’t in the mood to fuss with Yun Ran.

With a wave of his hand, the door was directly opened.

Yun Ran saw the empty doorway and didn’t mind, she walked right in.

And then she saw Dragon Spirit, wrapped in a blanket, sitting cross-legged pitifully.

His look was just like a dragon trapped in a shallow stream.

"Your Dragon Soul, why is half missing?"

Seeing right through the problem at a glance, Dragon Spirit didn’t even lift his eyelids, much less move.

He was already feeling quite miserable.

Sniffing a bit, Dragon Spirit glanced at Yun Ran: "Can I ask Little Uncle to help me get even?"

Yun Ran: ...

Wow, this person really doesn’t treat himself as an outsider, huh.

Her actual disciple nephew hadn’t considered always asking Little Uncle to get even, but this guy did.

Especially now, with Dragon Spirit’s reddened eyes looking like a pitiful puppy.

Yun Ran could barely watch: "Get even yourself, my Little Uncle, doesn’t like weaklings!"

Feeling quite pitiful, Dragon Spirit heard these words, and promptly threw the blanket off him.

"How could I possibly be a weakling! It’s just half a Dragon Soul, how much impact could it possibly have on me!

Hmph, it’s just little Five Emperors Mountain, I’ve advanced to the Life of the Dragon King, how can I fear this small trivial matter?

Just wait, I, the Dragon King, will eventually drag that damned guy out, skin him alive and pull his tendons; what nerve, daring to imprison my Dragon King’s Dragon Soul..."

Earlier, Dragon Spirit looked weak, like he was on death’s door, but now, while cursing, he was full of life.

Seeing Dragon Spirit recover his former vitality, Yun Ran turned and left.

"Hey, I haven’t finished cursing yet, do you really not think of me as one of your own, seeing me being tricked, not helping me curse, just leaving!

Do you have no sympathy, you heartless woman, just wait, I’m definitely telling Little Uncle on you..."

With a ’bang’, the door closed, finally shutting out most of Dragon Spirit’s voice.

Yun Ran finally felt a bit more at peace. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Gu Yuan and Wanqi Yu, having bathed and changed, were just about to look for Yun Ran.

And they saw Yun Ran coming out from Dragon Spirit’s room, unfortunately, they didn’t see what happened before.

So, to them right now, it seemed like Yun Ran was kicked out by Dragon Spirit.

The two looked at each other, neither wanting to provoke Yun Ran’s sour mood.

Still, Yun Ran saw them and cheerfully asked: "Are you looking for me?"

Gu Yuan carefully examined Yun Ran’s expression.

Uh, good, no hint of reluctance or forced toughness, it looked like she wasn’t angry about getting kicked out by Dragon Spirit.

Indeed, she really was his verified sister, broad-minded with a big heart.

"Yes, there’s a new discovery, we thought to share it with you."

Yun Ran was now considered part of the team, so there wasn’t anything confidential.

"Let’s talk in my room."

The three of them had just sat down when Ginsengfruit brought over freshly prepared fruit platters and some snacks.

Gu Yuan was truly hungry, he showed no courtesy, picking up the snacks and immediately started eating, having something first.

After discussing things with Yun Ran, he’d go have a meal, and then pick up the boss, and finally sleep well.

Mm, perfect!

"Following the internal passageways of Five Emperors Mountain, I discovered every three months someone comes for maintenance.

But maybe they think this place is their turf, so their procedures are quite perfunctory.

As a result, I found a flaw and smoothly captured the people coming for maintenance this time.

When those people took out their magic artifacts, Wanqi Young Master recognized them. Guess what, who are those people? You absolutely won’t guess!"
