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

Chapter 336 If that lousy mouth won't close, sew it up! (2nd update)
Someone with Yunran's abilities may not necessarily have Yunran's open-mindedness, and someone with such an open-mindedness may not necessarily have Yunran's abilities.

Under these circumstances, how can anyone else compare to Yun Ran? They simply can't.

"However, once this news is made public, there will likely be a deluge of objections..."

Despite Qingmu Daoren's concerns, Yunran remained calm.

"There are already quite a few people who don't like me, so one more problem won't bother me."

Seeing that it was almost time, Yunran continued, "I'm going back now. There's the first qualifying match tonight, so I need to go back and prepare."

Master Qingmu nodded. Seeing Yun Ran's serious attitude towards every match, even though she was clearly confident of victory, he felt even more certain that Yun Ran would win the championship.

Seeing how polite Qingmu Daoren was to a young girl, even though they recognized Yunran as the previously prominent little girl, their friends were still somewhat puzzled.

"I've never seen you value a junior so much before, it seems you treat them like an equal?"

"Whether you have ability or not has nothing to do with age."

"Judging from your expression, it seems she's quite confident. Your judgment has always been excellent, so I'll switch my previous bet to her."

……

Yunran returned to the courtyard, saying she was preparing, but actually she just dug out the competition rules to study them so as not to break the rules.

There are still many differences between a competition and real combat. She either doesn't make a move at all, or when she does, it's a sure-kill move.

If this were to happen in a competition, it would be a huge disadvantage.

After figuring out all the rules and the standards for fouls, Yunran finally let out a long sigh of relief.

Thinking back to the 'shortcuts' I had devised to be lazy, if judged by the rules of the competition, they would be considered unproductive, unrealistic, and crooked ways.

"Tsk tsk tsk, if I had followed my old habits, I would have been fouled and eliminated in no time."

Ginseng Fruit, watching from the side, couldn't help but blurt out, "Host, I feel like these competitions are all using legitimate methods, while you're just using all sorts of tricks and deceit."

If I didn't know you came from Qingfeng Temple, I would have suspected you were taught by some unorthodox method.

Yun Ran rolled her eyes speechlessly: "Black cat or white cat, as long as it catches mice, it's a good cat! I can catch ghosts, predict good and bad fortune, and exorcise evil spirits, so what do you care what methods I use!"

"I can ignore it, but I have to follow the rules of this competition."

"Don't worry, I have a very solid foundation. Do you think innovation can be created out of thin air?"

The loudspeaker on the roof blared again: [All participants in the competition, please proceed to the competition center as soon as possible to participate in the qualifying rounds.]

Yunran checked the time; it was 17:40 PM. The selection competition was scheduled to officially begin at 18:00 PM.

She immediately picked up her things and started walking outside, waiting at the intersection where the sightseeing bus would pass; she had no intention of walking across.

Long Ling yawned as she followed behind the ginseng fruit, her slouching manner completely ruining the natural elegance of her face.

There were already several people on the sightseeing bus, and at a glance, you could tell that these people were definitely not ordinary.

If you really want to know why, it's probably because these few people have that superior look in their eyes.

One of the young girls didn't glance at Yun Ran once from beginning to end, but her gaze lingered on Long Ling for several seconds.

After the sightseeing bus came to a complete stop, Yun Ran and her group went straight to the empty seats at the back. "Which company are you from?"

One second, two seconds, three seconds passed, and no one responded, making the situation instantly awkward.

But there was a reason for this: the dragon spirit being questioned was still yawning and didn't want to answer at all.

The ginseng fruit was too small, so no one paid it any attention. As for Yun Ran, since no one asked her why she should speak, she didn't.

The girl who had spoken immediately turned pale. She had never encountered anyone who showed her such disrespect before; she was a privileged young woman!

"I'm asking you a question!"

She immediately raised her voice, clearly with a hint of intimidation in it.

The name "Nangong" was clearly written on her clothes. Anyone with a modicum of manners would give face to someone with that surname.

But this time, she encountered the two men whom Xie Xuzhi called the Crouching Dragon and the Young Phoenix, and neither of them gave her a way out.

Long Ling was still yawning. It would have been better if he hadn't been sleeping. He was being pulled up in a daze, and he wasn't grumpy when he woke up, which was already quite considerate.

To make matters worse, there are people chattering away at this time, which is really annoying. They have no idea what human relationships are.

His brows furrowed instantly, and he opened his mouth in a sarcastic tone: "Are you a sparrow? Chirping and chattering, it's so annoying! If you can't close that lousy mouth, just sew it up!"

Apart from Yunran and Renshenguo, everyone else in the car gasped upon hearing Long Ling's words.

Even the driver almost lost his grip, causing the sightseeing bus to sway slightly.

Everyone was truly puzzled as to why this seemingly ethereal and otherworldly person could have such a vicious and cruel mouth.

Didn't he know that this young lady from the Nangong family had a very special identity?

She has 27 older brothers. If anyone dares to offend her, they will face the challenge of 27 masters.

"How dare you talk to me like that!"

Long Ling finally managed to open her eyelids with difficulty, glanced at Nangong Fengzhi sideways, then looked away, her expression immediately becoming smug.

"I could crush you with a single finger. If it weren't for this competition, a little ant like you wouldn't even be worthy of seeing me. You should be secretly happy that I'm ignoring you."

The ginseng fruit opened its mouth, but in the end decided to close it. It was just a little kid, so it was best not to meddle in other people's business.

Yun Ran pretended to be deaf the whole time. Anyway, as long as she didn't provoke her, the taller person would hold up the sky if it fell.

As long as Long Ling doesn't cause any trouble or create any strange phenomena, and is just being sarcastic, she can turn a blind eye.

Nangong Fengzhi had never been humiliated like this before. A surge of anger rushed to her head, and she was about to explode.

The sightseeing bus stopped.

Fearing a fight might break out, the driver quickly said, "Fighting is prohibited anywhere except the competition venue. Anyone who does so will be disqualified from the competition."

Long Ling strode out of the car with his long legs, giving a nonchalant snort. He wasn't even competing, so what was the point of disqualifying him?

Nangong Fengzhi is one of the promising players favored by many, so she naturally wouldn't risk losing more than she gains at this crucial moment.

But she still threatened Long Ling: "Just you wait!"
