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

Chapter 149 It's not a good day to go out (2 updates)
When Yunran received Zhao Mingzhu's invitation, she felt that even the pig's trotter she was eating didn't taste good anymore.

The Zhao family truly lives up to their reputation as the richest family in South China; they're definitely local bullies, coming knocking on our door so quickly.

Looking at Zhao Mingzhu's confidant in front of her, only four words flashed through Yun Ran's mind: things have changed.

The last time she met him, he was very respectful to her, even with a smile on his face. Now, he's completely turned into a businesslike person.

This also shows that Zhao Mingzhu's attitude towards her has changed from being insincere to being completely open about it now.

"I will definitely be there on time tomorrow."

Just as Yunran was feeling down, Gu Yuan arrived carrying a large bag of barbecue.

"How did you come?"

"Who told you your parents weren't here? We're all on the same side, how could I not keep an eye on things?"

"speak English!"

Gu Yuan immediately stopped joking around and placed the barbecue in Yun Ran's hand.

"You're not the boss yet. You're a sitting duck right now. Those evil cultivators and those involved have been watching you for a long time."

Worried you might get ambushed, that's why I'm the overt helper. Secretly, the boss has arranged for a lot of people; all the staff on the upper floors of the hotel have been replaced with our people.

Yunran: ...

So, she's been used as bait now!

Forget it, don't get angry. Getting sick from anger will only make you sick, and no one will take your place.

After eating and drinking her fill, Yun Ran went straight to rest. As for Gu Yuan and the others, she couldn't be bothered with them.

The next day at dawn, as soon as I opened the door, I saw Gu Yuan dressed in a suit and white gloves, the standard attire for a driver.

"You're not going to come out with me, are you?"

Gu Yuan nodded: "Don't worry, I'm definitely on your side. The Zhao family is nothing!"

"Hehe, thank you so much!"

"You're welcome~"

Since someone was willing to be her driver, Yun Ran naturally wouldn't refuse. As for Gu Yuan's true purpose, it didn't matter.

As soon as she got into the car, Yun Ran frowned slightly. Just now, she realized that the calming spell she had injected into Zhao Mingzhu's body had failed.

Her spells are not easily broken by ordinary people.

When she was face to face with Zhao Mingzhu, she could see very clearly that the demonic fetus inside Zhao Mingzhu had already merged with her soul.

Unable to remove it by normal means, she could only use the Tranquilizing Technique to forcibly suppress the dormant ghost fetus.

Now that the law has been broken, either Zhao Mingzhu has died, or someone has used special means to eliminate the evil fetus.

Yunran had a vague feeling that today's trip was going a little wrong.

After thinking for a while, I took out my precious tortoise shell and used it to calculate which direction was auspicious for me to travel today.

Gu Yuan looked at Yun Ran in the rearview mirror and saw her divining. He hadn't realized the seriousness of the problem and thought Yun Ran was just playing around.

Soon, the divination result came out: it is not advisable to go out today; if you must go out, going north is a major taboo.

Now, they are heading north.

"parking!"

Gu Yuan was stunned for a moment. Although he didn't understand what had happened, he still slowly slowed down and then found a roadside to stop.

"What's wrong? Do you need to use the restroom? Or are you carsick?" Gu Yuan thought he was a considerate driver, but Yun Ran thought he was a real chatterbox. She didn't know how Xie Xuzhi could stand such a person.

Yunran explained her divination results: "Although I knew from the beginning that what awaited me today was a trap."

But if my divination indicates something extremely inauspicious, then it's not just a simple trap, but a dead end!

If I hadn't personally witnessed Yun Ran break the long-lost forbidden technique, the Spirit Extinction Array, and even summon heavenly lightning despite being someone rejected by the Heavenly Dao, I wouldn't have believed it.

Now Gu Yuan is starting to think that Yun Ran is just a coward and is exaggerating.

Gu Yuan wasn't good at divination, but his deductions were quite good. He immediately started to deduce based on the hexagram Yun Ran had just mentioned.

"puff"

Without warning, Gu Yuan had just begun his calculations when he suffered a backlash.

As one of the most outstanding members of the Gu family, Gu Yuan has performed countless deductions since childhood, numbering at least nine hundred to a thousand, and has never once suffered a direct backlash from the very beginning.

Now, Gu Yuan had no choice but to take it seriously. Their trip was indeed fraught with danger, and only when it involved a life-or-death crisis would his deductions be backfired.

Yunran's divination results, when used to predict her own fate, are only 80% accurate.

Looking at Gu Yuan, especially noticing the chaotic aura emanating from him, Yun Ran placed the tortoise shell directly into Gu Yuan's palm.

"You shake it!"

Gu Yuan: ...

Those from these mystical families are placed under a protective spell against prying eyes from birth, in order to protect the young from being harmed early on.

Under normal circumstances, no one can predict the fate of these people. If someone tries to forcibly predict it, they will definitely suffer a backlash.

Seeing Yun Ran's clueless expression, Gu Yuan sighed inwardly. It seemed that Yun Ran was indeed not specially cultivated by some Xuanmen family.

"The fates of the core members of the Xuanmen families cannot be easily calculated. You must remember this in the future."

As he spoke, Gu Yuan returned the tortoise shell to Yun Ran.

To his surprise, Yun Ran just looked at him like he was an idiot: "You don't actually think I can't tell that people from your Xuanmen families are wearing protective barriers, do you?"

"You were just attacked by the backlash; your aura is completely disrupted. That restriction is useless now!"

Gu Yuan's hand trembled slightly, then he looked at Yun Ran with a shocked expression: "You...you mean, if we get injured and suffer a backlash, the restriction will be useless?"

"Otherwise what? Do you think I'm stupid enough to know that I might have touched a life-or-death calamity and still dare to fight against the restrictions that the Xuanmen families have perfected over hundreds of years?"

Gu Yuan had never heard of this before. So, was it because Yun Ran's cultivation was too high, or were there really loopholes in these restrictions?
But clearly, this was not the time to discuss these things. Gu Yuan took back the tortoise shell and shook it three times.

The copper coins inside fell out, and the resulting divination was much more detailed than the one Yunran had previously calculated for her trip today.

Gu Yuan is not good at divination, but that doesn't mean he can't understand the hexagrams.

The hexagram displayed at this moment clearly indicates a situation of certain death.

It was already backfiring, not to mention that what we see now is this kind of divination.

Even with his strong inner strength and usually carefree personality, Gu Yuan's face turned pale instantly at this moment.

"how so!"

Yun Ran's expression was also not good; she and Gu Yuan had fought side by side before.

Knowing that Gu Yuan was quite capable, what kind of hellish situation would lead someone like him to certain death?

In just a few seconds, Yun Ran made her decision: "You all go back, I'll go alone!"
