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

Chapter 332 She's not embarrassed; it's others who are embarrassed (2nd update)
Yun Ran was unaware that the "prestige" Gu Yuan had given her had inadvertently brought her negative attention.

Gu Yuan caught up with her: "Ranran, why are you running so fast? I was going to take a video of you."

Yun Ran looked at Gu Yuan speechlessly: "Can I ask you how much more of this kind of spectacle you've prepared?"

"Do you think it's too low-key? Well, people here are all very busy, and there aren't many who can spare the time to help me with this. If it weren't for the generous compensation I offered..."

Yun Ran quickly interjected, "Stop! If this continues, let's cancel it. It's too melodramatic!"

Gu Yuan immediately looked confused. He had searched online for a lot of rituals that children Yun Ran's age liked.

"But isn't this what boys and girls your age like the most?"

Yunran: ...

Okay, case solved. Gu Yuan really did treat her like a little girl in her early teens.

"Are you really canceling it? That's a real shame."

Yun Ran sighed: "It's okay, no need to cancel, let's leave it as is."

As long as she doesn't feel embarrassed, it's others who will feel embarrassed. As long as she's thick-skinned, those people won't dare to argue with a young girl like her.

After leaving the helicopter base, Yunran saw a huge poster with her picture on it, smiling like a fool.

In front of the poster were five or six burly men, each with a large drum hanging from his body. Upon seeing Gu Yuan, they immediately started beating it.

They were jumping and banging at the same time, like a shaman performing a ritual. Even a shaman might find this kind of welcoming ceremony a bit overwhelming.

Gu Yuan was quite satisfied. These people looked very hardworking, and the resources he had spent were actually put to good use.

Ginseng Fruit's expression was beyond astonishment; it turned into horror.

It's truly unexpected that Gu Yuan, who is generally reliable in his work, has such appetizing tastes in certain areas that it's downright creepy.

If the welcome banner just now only made those who came later think that Yunran was high-profile.

This drumming has caused some people to lose their composure.

"That's incredibly arrogant! How can you be so sure she'll win? You're already celebrating!"

"Hmph, that smile in the photo, what is it if not a provocation!"

"I hadn't planned to participate in the leader's betting game before, but now I have to, to put her arrogance to the test!"

……

In order to prevent Gu Yuan's 'carefully' arranged plan from falling through, Yun Ran stood there and watched the drumming performance end before leaving. She was really too kind.

Fortunately, such a scene did not occur again, and we arrived at our lodging courtyard without any problems.

However, seeing Gu Yuan looking at her expectantly as she opened the door, Yun Ran suddenly had a bad feeling.

As it turns out, sometimes you really have to trust your gut feeling.

The moment the courtyard gate opened, Yunran saw that the courtyard was filled with balloons of all colors, as well as more than a dozen people dressed in mascot costumes.

They shouted in unison, "Welcome, Miss Yun, to the Chief's Residence!"

Then, these people started singing and dancing.

Perhaps due to the numerous awkward moments, Yunran has become numb to it all.

Finally, after seeing everyone off, Yun Ran sat listlessly on the sofa surrounded by balloons. "That was terrifying! I absolutely must never let Gu Yuan hold any more of these ceremonies. Seeing how happy he was, I seriously suspect he was secretly doing it for his own purposes!"

Ginseng Fruit nodded quickly: "That's right, that's right, these are definitely things he likes."

Within an hour, Yunran became famous, famous throughout the entire island.

Whether or not they had heard of Yun Ran, everyone now knew of her existence.

In addition to the huge poster that Gu Yuan had created earlier, everyone was finally able to match her name with her identity.

Qingmu Daoren and the others had been injured and were currently on vacation. After receiving Yun Ran's call, they rushed over immediately.

They had naturally seen the 'prestige' that Gu Yuan had put on before.

The abbot Jiechen burst into laughter, pointing at Yun Ran's enormous poster: "I bet that girl didn't make this poster."

"Judging from this style, it must have been done by Gu Yuan. No wonder Director Xie strictly forbade him from participating in any publicity activities before."

"Yun Ran doesn't know that she's been tricked by Gu Yuan this time."

"However, this is not necessarily a bad thing. At least now everyone knows about Yun Ran."

……

When the blind Taoist priest arrived and saw the poster, his temporarily closed third eye almost reopened.

Those who arrived around the same time as him naturally didn't know that he had a good relationship with Yun Ran, and without any attempt to hide it, they started to complain about Yun Ran.

Some people even said that Yun Ran was arrogant, and many people even formed an alliance in advance, planning to eliminate Yun Ran in the first round.

The blind Taoist priest frowned, probably not expecting these people to directly target Yun Ran.

Even though he knew that Yun Ran's methods were not to be underestimated and that he wouldn't be suppressed by these petty tricks, he still felt that this was too much of a bullying.

However, he didn't argue with these people, but went directly to find Yunran.

The little paper figure cleaned up all the balloons in the yard.

Seeing that Yun Ran was still calm and composed, Qingmu Daoren and the others knew that she had not been affected in any way, so they were relieved.

However, those participating in this Xuanmen Grand Competition were not only Xuanmen families associated with the Special Administration Bureau, but also many Xuanmen practitioners whom I had never heard of before.

Every Xuanmen Grand Competition has its dark horses, so we can't let our guard down.

Qingmu Daoren took out a piece of paper and pushed it in front of Yunran.

"This is a list I got from a friend. The people on this list are some of the most powerful figures in this Xuanmen Grand Competition. If you encounter them, you'd better take them seriously."

Especially those from the mystical families, these families have passed down some trump cards they don't use easily, so naturally there's no way to counter them.

Yunran solemnly accepted the paper, glanced at it, and saw that there were at least twenty candidates listed. It seemed that there were quite a few strong opponents this time.

"Thank you."

It was at this moment that the blind Taoist priest arrived. He saw that there were already quite a few people in the courtyard, all of whom were powerful figures on the Special Administration Bureau's list.

The others were also very surprised to see the blind Taoist priest.

He probably didn't expect that the blind Taoist priest, who was always said to be hard for people to approach, would actually be on good terms with Yun Ran.

Immediately, everyone's perception of Yun Ran deepened.
