The fortune telling was so accurate that I accidentally accumulated a huge amount of merit!

Chapter 107 I call this a strategy of first suppressing then elevating (2 updates)
Yun Ran's 'humility' puzzled Ginseng Fruit. When has the host ever backed down? When has she ever not rushed in and fought without hesitation?
[Host, are you really badly injured?]

"What do you know? I call this 'suppressing first, then praising later.' If I guarantee everything, it will make me seem very efficient."

After that, no matter how difficult the task, people would think it was something I was supposed to do, and I really became a big grudge.

Her martial uncle had taught her to be more careful when she was out in the world, and when dealing with important clients, she should exaggerate even the most difficult things to the point of being extremely difficult.

Only in this way, if things are done, will people be grateful. Otherwise, the coldness and greed of human nature can make her cry until she doubts the meaning of life.

What Yunran didn't know was that although she deliberately exaggerated the difficulty, it was actually normal within Xie Xuzhi's understanding.

It's because she doesn't have a clear understanding of her own abilities. There are many powerful figures in the Xuanmen sect, but others also have the same thoughts as her.

Many of the other people were even less competent, which made her stand out even though she was complaining about how hard she was working.

Xie Xuzhi never expected that Yun Ran could be so cunning.

"I'll leave this matter to you. As for the rare and precious materials and the people you need, I'll take care of those!"

Having received the money, Yunran would naturally do her job well.

He immediately grinned and said, "Don't worry, leave it to me!"

Yunran flipped through the transfer agreements. Although she was not yet an adult, it was just a matter of asset transfer, and the Xie family could definitely handle it.

After carefully signing her name, Yun Ran pushed the documents back to Xie Xuzhi.

"Thank you/Thank you, Director."

With that, Yunran turned around to get to work. She needed to check the power of the ancient sword first and then make a comprehensive assessment.

At the same time, we also need to negotiate with the dragon vein.

Seeing Yun Ran so actively preparing to work, Xie Xuzhi's face immediately showed a satisfied expression.

Compared to those who hold positions without doing anything, Yun Ran, who gets paid to do things, is clearly more to his liking.

Just as she reached the courtyard gate, the elderly man with an extremely low profile appeared behind Yun Ran. If it weren't for her perception being far superior to others, she would have been able to escape.

They might not even know who killed them after this old man took their lives.

When the old man appeared behind Yun Ran, Yun Ran suddenly turned around and looked at him: "People can scare each other to death!"

The old man had already concealed most of his aura, and was somewhat surprised to see that Yun Ran had discovered him so quickly.

He had appeared behind Gu Yuan like this before, but unfortunately, the promising young man favored by the Gu family did not notice him immediately.

If he were an enemy, Gu Yuan would have died countless times.

The young girl in front of him was so skilled that he couldn't quite figure out how advanced she was.

"Young Master wants me to go with you!"

Without a doubt, this young master must be Xie Xuzhi. She didn't think it was because Xie Xuzhi didn't trust her and even found a supervisor.

"Okay, let's go together then."

Seeing that Yun Ran didn't pursue his probing and intimidating behavior, the old man's opinion of Yun Ran improved further. The two returned to Dragon Heart Pool one after the other. The surveillance cameras in this area had been shut down by Xie Xuzhi with his highest authority, and no one but him could restore them.

But Yunran was still worried, so she immediately used a spell to block out all sight around her. It was one thing for her to take the money and do the job, but she didn't want to become famous overnight.

Unlike before, when she was the heir of Qingfeng Temple and respected by people in the Xuanmen (Taoist sect), in this world, she is just a self-taught individual.

In any field, there will be group formations, and even factions.

Many promising talents, if they have connections and can intimidate others, can grow well. But if they try to break through the encirclement and seize resources without connections, they will be directly killed.

The old man raised an eyebrow as he watched Yun Ran's incantation, which blocked all vision in the vicinity.

It even altered the magnetic field here, causing not only all electronic devices to malfunction, but also rendering even mystical techniques unable to detect it.

Yunran's hand gently covered the water's surface.

The once calm water surface suddenly rippled as if a basin of water had been struck.

This was the dragon vein responding to her, though very faintly, the old man still sensed it.

He knew before he arrived that the dragon vein was in a state of feigned death. Although he was shocked, he had no doubts.

But now, having witnessed the dragon vein respond to Yun Ran, the emotions in his eyes were still quite evident, which was very jarring for someone with such a low profile.

"I've been here for over fifty years, but I never knew that this dragon vein had been manipulated. If only I had known sooner..."

The old man didn't finish his sentence, but Yunran could roughly guess what he wanted to say.

If he had known earlier that the dragon vein was still alive, he would definitely have tried to save it. Wouldn't you say that he was simply not capable enough, guarding a treasure mountain without realizing it?
Yun Ran had no idea that in just a short while, a master who could conceal his aura and whose abilities had reached the level of returning to simplicity had developed serious self-doubt.

"The sacrificial array below has the effect of suppressing the methods of people in the Xuanmen sect. I was only able to sense it because of my special destiny and magic treasure. It's normal that you don't know it."

Yunran was just giving a normal explanation, but to the old man, it sounded like Yunran, despite her young age, was highly skilled, yet not arrogant, and even comforted an old man like him.

His attitude towards Yunran immediately improved. It can only be said that when one person finds another person pleasing, everything they say becomes a plus.

Yunran released the paper doll, pricked her finger, and used her blood to paint the eyes and mouth of the paper doll.

A sweet, childlike voice rang out: "Master, what are your orders?"

"Go tell the dragon spirit below that I will save it in exchange for its dragon breath. Is it willing?"

The little paper figure plunged headfirst into the pool and quickly disappeared from sight.

The old man didn't sit idle either; he began to look around at the surroundings. If there was a formation at the bottom of the pool, there would definitely be some traces left there.

They just hadn't thought of this before, so they overlooked it.

Not long after, the little paper figure came up, but judging from its panting appearance, it was exhausted.

Yunran started controlling these paper figures when she was very young, and she can be said to be very skilled at it.

Even splitting mountains and clearing roads wouldn't necessarily exhaust them like this; it seems this sacrificial formation is indeed quite ferocious.
