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

Chapter 292: You must be seeing things! (2 updates)
[Host, what should I do? This guy is terrifying! He grabbed me in one go! If it weren't for the aura of heavenly lightning on me, he would have torn me apart alive!!!]

In the past, even when facing those experts from the Special Administration Bureau, Yun Ran dared to communicate with the Ginseng Fruit telepathically in front of them.

But now, Yunran was somewhat wary of this young protector. She gestured to the ginseng fruit with her eyes: [Don't speak!]

Yunran wouldn't dare say she's the most talented person, but she's definitely among the top tier.

But the young man in front of her seemed to have even greater talent than her. No wonder he was able to glimpse a sliver of heavenly secrets and become the guardian of destiny.

The young man sat cross-legged and began to deduce.

Ten minutes later.

"Pfft~"

The deduction was going well when the young man suddenly coughed up blood, causing Yun Ran to quickly take two steps back.

The ginseng fruit was also carefully moved back.

"You are not from this world!"

Yunran: ...

Now she suddenly understood why some people from the Special Administration Bureau disliked her before; this feeling of being seen through was really terrible.

"The workings of this world cannot be disrupted by anyone. You yourself possess merit, which is why you were not expelled by the Heavenly Dao."

However, it seems you're not very lucky. Your current body was sacrificed right after you were born, and your destiny was replaced afterward, which was just to squeeze out the last bit of value.

If you hadn't taken over this body, you could have had a smooth life based on your past good deeds. What a pity!

The young man wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, seemingly unconcerned about the backlash he had suffered from deducing that Yun Ran was from another world.

At this moment, his eyes no longer held the calm indifference they had before; instead, they held only a trace of regret.

After saying that, he turned to leave. Since Heaven had not ostracized Yun Ran, this person from another world, he naturally would not take any further action.

Yunran and Renshenguo watched the young man's departing figure, but they did not lower their guard for a long time.

Only when the presence of the Heavenly Guardian could no longer be detected did the Ginseng Fruit finally catch its breath.

"Host, this guy is too amazing. He even managed to deduce that you're not the original owner of this body. Luckily, he didn't try to wipe us out, otherwise..."

Perhaps feeling that saying the last few words would diminish his own prestige, Ginseng Fruit stopped talking.

Yun Ran put away the golden feather, but she did not completely withdraw the merits on her body.

Instead, a portion of it separated and coalesced into the shape of a golden necklace, which coiled around its neck.

Unless you touch it, just by looking at it, probably no one would doubt that it's not jewelry.

"This guardian of destiny is indeed powerful. I investigated several times before, but I still couldn't figure out the problem with the original owner."

Unexpectedly, the original owner was sacrificed shortly after birth. Even if her destiny hadn't been replaced later, she was destined to die young.

“Host, I think this was done by two groups of people. The person who replaced the original owner’s fate probably never dreamed that the original owner’s true fortune had already been almost completely drained.”

Thinking of this, Ginseng Fruit slapped his hand hard.

He cursed under his breath, "What a terrible hand! My luck is just too bad. Why did I have to choose this novel world?"

Although encountering the guardian of destiny was quite unlucky, at least I learned some things that I couldn't have known on my own.

"Pack your things and get out of here. We can't stay in this awful place anymore." With that, Yun Ran called the driver. The driver was a little confused as to why Yun Ran was in such a hurry, but he was the one who got paid. He had been willing to do anything for her before, as long as he had enough money.

The young man returned to the village, and the door of the old building opened automatically, from which came an old man whose age was impossible to discern.

He looked at his apprentice in astonishment: "You actually suffered a backlash?"

Every guardian has their own mission, and the guidance of the Karma Stone is their mission.

If the Karma Stone by the ancestral hall hadn't lit up, the people of Tiandao Village wouldn't have been able to leave so easily.

From the moment Tiandao Village existed, there has never been a case of a protector being attacked.

The old man's expression immediately turned serious. Could a great calamity be about to befall him?

He immediately took out several special stones to arrange them into a formation, and then began to perform hand seals and calculations.

If Yun Ran were here, she would be extremely shocked. This was clearly a star array that only her ancestor, who had already become an immortal, could activate.

"A person from another world... a half-blood sacrifice of the witch clan... a fate forsaken by the heavens..."

The old man was unable to calculate anything further; it was all a chaotic mess. In the end, he had no choice but to stop and look at the sky with some regret.

The Heavenly Dao of their world seems inferior to that of the otherworldly person's world; he cannot use the power of the Heavenly Dao to explore the things of that world.

"Xuan Chu, starting today, you will leave Tiandao Village and stay by the side of that person from another world. Keep an eye on her and make sure she doesn't disrupt the workings of the world!"

The young man, Xuan Chu, nodded respectfully.

The people of Tiandao Village don't care about right and wrong; they simply act according to the will of Heaven to maintain the balance of this world.

People like Yun Ran are the most likely to cause trouble, so they need to keep an eye on her to prevent her from doing anything that disrupts the normal operation of the Heavenly Dao.

"Yes, Master!"

As Xuan Chu was about to leave, the old man gave him a few more words of advice: "Under the Dao of Heaven, there is a bright side and naturally there is a dark side. Remember, protectors of the Dao should not get involved in the grudges of any clan."

If you violate the rules of Heavenly Path Village, you will never have another chance to cultivate and become an immortal. Remember this well.

"Thank you for your teachings, Master. I will remember them well."

As Xuan Chu left Tiandao Village, he suddenly looked back, and everyone outsiders thought that the village they saw was real.

In fact, what you see with the naked eye is just a mirage. No one except the people of Tiandao Village can find the real entrance to Tiandao Village.

The moment he stepped out of Tiandao Village, the causal stone in the ancestral hall cast a restriction on Xuan Chu.

At this moment, he can be considered a true guardian of destiny, walking in the world to uphold the will of Heaven.

From then on, in Xuan Chu's eyes, everything—whether flowers, trees, birds, fish, insects, or beasts, good people or bad people—was equal.

He was just a passerby, an onlooker.

As Yunran watched the car leave the small loop, she finally exhaled the breath she had been holding in.

"Finally, I'm out of this awful place. Thank goodness..."

Just as Yunran looked out the car window, the smile on her face froze.

Yunran quickly closed her eyes, muttering, "I must be seeing things!"
