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

Chapter 220 Helping is My Duty (2 Updates)
Yunran isn't a shrewd businessman; she doesn't consider gains and losses before doing anything.

They would not deliberately suppress the other party, let them speak first, and then negotiate terms by putting the other party at a disadvantage.

Tan Chengbi was one of the few people she felt she could become friends with.

She might have to think twice about going to great lengths for a friend, but she would never hesitate to help someone.

“We’re friends, there’s no need for this formality. You’re probably referring to the Helian Manor, right?”

Hearing Yun Ran agree so easily, Tan Chengbi felt a warm current flow through his heart.

These days, an elder from the Tan family has come here personally to handle this matter. He has a vague feeling that the Helian family and the Tan family are hiding some secrets.

Unfortunately, they were unwilling to tell him that they even refused to let the Special Administration Bureau interfere with matters at the Helian Manor.

Apart from some necessary negotiations, the Helian and Tan families have entrusted many matters to the Xuan Masters they worship.

“I heard from the Special Administration Bureau that my great-aunt and the others are all trapped. I want to rescue them as soon as possible, but the Helian family and my elders seem to have other ideas…”

Yun Ran immediately understood. This was the land of cherry blossoms, and the Helian and Tan families wielded considerable power. The Special Administration Bureau really couldn't control them, not even with Xie Xuzhi present.

In China, no matter what family you belong to, once a case is targeted by the Special Administration Bureau, all families must cooperate unconditionally.

"So, the Special Administration Bureau and your side are at an impasse now?"

Tan Chengbi nodded: "Yes, no matter what, my aunt has always been very good to me. I don't care what they want to do, but we can't use my aunt's life as a raft."

This is probably the tragedy of large families. Even blood relatives can be abandoned at any time once interests are involved.

There are too many shady dealings within large families, and Yun Ran didn't want to get involved, nor was she particularly interested in such gossip.

However, she couldn't cause Xie Xuzhi any trouble, so she wouldn't tell Tan Chengbi what to do directly, lest she give someone something to hold against her.

"When I broke into Helian Manor last time, I accidentally saw an antique mirror hanging on the roof. It's a good thing, used to ward off evil spirits and protect the house. It must not be contaminated with anything dirty."

For example, filth, or the blood of those who are utterly wicked—these could completely destroy the power of that antique mirror…

The assistant watched as Yun Ran solemnly told his young master not to do these things, his eyes shining with an astonishing light.

Wow, so this is how you can seriously explain all the steps of sabotage, and yet no one can find any fault with it.

After all, who would have thought that someone would insist on interpreting these words the opposite of what they meant?

"Thank you, I understand. I will definitely be careful. I'll head back now."

As Tan Chengbi stood up, something suddenly occurred to him.

He added, "My people found out that twins born into the Tan family have never survived together. I have no idea what the secret is behind this."

Yun Ran nodded and accepted Tan Chengbi's kindness.

Clearly, Tan Chengbi also noticed something was wrong, and he had a strong premonition that Yun Ran, who had successfully rescued the person, was likely to encounter big trouble.

That young man surnamed Gu seems to have a rather unusual background. The somewhat aloof old men and the Xuan Master worshipped by his family were all very polite to him.

Yun Ran is the only one who is merely the third young lady of the Yun family in Haicheng, with no blood relation to her. Even though she has the protection of the eldest son of the Xie family.

But Tan Chengbi himself came from a prominent family, and he knew very well that sometimes, even the head of a family couldn't do whatever he wanted. What he worried about was that Yun Ran would be abandoned because of her low status.

Therefore, he had to tell Yunran some things in advance to be on guard, even if these things were secrets within the Tan family.

After watching Tan Chengbi walk away, Ginseng Fruit said, "That guy, at least he has some conscience."

At this moment, inside the Tan family's manor, the third master of the Tan family looked at the several Xuan Masters sitting below him.

His expression was rather unpleasant: "Are you telling me that after all these days, you still haven't discovered anything?"

"Third Master, the formation has been completely destroyed. We have tried various methods, but we still cannot figure out what happened."

There are only two possibilities. The first is that this altar was used for personal gain from the very beginning.

The second possibility is that the person who destroyed the altar possessed abilities far exceeding ours, which is why we were unable to find any clues.

Another person quickly chimed in: "That's right. Based on our abilities, we think the first possibility is the most likely. We've all met those people from the Special Administration Bureau."

Even if those old fogies are more skilled than us, they're not far beyond our reach.

However, Master Tan did not completely believe their words. The Tan family had its own secrets and had even sacrificed many twins.

Just when he thought he was about to revive the altar, it was destroyed. And then he was told that the altar was fake from beginning to end. How could he possibly believe that? He would only think that these people were too useless.

"Okay, you guys go down first!"

The several Xuan Masters exchanged glances and then withdrew.

"What do you think Third Master means by this? Does he not trust us?"

The man at the front stroked his beard and sighed softly, "Perhaps the Tan family has secrets we don't know."

These people are considered to be in the first tier of the Xuanmen (Taoist sect). Being worshipped by a top-tier financial group like the Tan family is already considered the pinnacle of treatment.

However, they were not people trained by the Tan family themselves. If they cannot solve the Tan family's problems, it will be difficult for them to continue to have no shortage of resources in the future.

"How about we go find those people from the Special Administration Bureau? I had a vague feeling that they also seemed to have some doubts..."

"No, if we cooperate with them and they cheat us, we'll end up losing more than we gain."

"This won't work, that won't work, so what should we do!"

"Wait!"

Tan Chengbi led his men, bringing with them all the filthy items that Yun Ran had previously warned against using, and split into three groups to break the formation of Helian Manor.

"I'll distract them, you guys hurry up!"

Hearing the young master's words, the assistant felt his heart pounding. Heaven knows, he was now risking his life to work for the young master.

If they were caught by Third Master's men, they'd be skinned alive.

I just hope they can rescue the old lady successfully this time, so that when they are punished, they will suffer less.
