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

Chapter 347 She's here to 'buy goods for free'
Gu Yuan was about to say something to break the awkward silence when there was a knock on the door.

Long Ling consciously went to open the door, completely forgetting how much he hated being bossed around by Yun Ran before, but his face was still sour.

Having experienced being targeted by the same people several times before, the staff at the entrance have learned their lesson.

Seeing that someone had opened the door, he quickly stuffed what he was holding into Long Ling's hands and then immediately ran away.

Long Ling was speechless and bewildered. Finally, she slammed the door shut, turned around, and went into the courtyard.

"This thing is obviously meant for you!"

Long Ling walked over and tossed the things into Yun Ran's arms.

Then, she turned to look at Gu Yuan, her tone full of disdain: "You people from the Special Administration Bureau are so clueless, and your work efficiency is terrible..."

"Stop, stop, stop!" Gu Yuan quickly rubbed his ears and looked Long Ling up and down.

"Have you forgotten that you are now also a member of the Special Administration Bureau?"

It can only be said that he truly lives up to his background as a member of a prestigious Xuanmen family. Even though he is somewhat down-to-earth in front of Yun Ran, his inherent arrogance still remains.

Even if the person in front of him were Long Ling, and he wanted to criticize him, he would not admit it.

Long Ling was immediately indignant. He had no choice but to be suppressed by Yun Ran. Now even a mere human dared to speak to him like that. Did they really think he was a pushover?

Just as she was about to teach Gu Yuan a lesson, Yun Ran glanced at him lightly.

In a leisurely tone: "It seems you've both forgotten the relevant regulations within the Special Administration Bureau. If I were to report you two..."

Yunran didn't say the rest, but both Long Ling and Gu Yuan knew very well that Yunran was absolutely capable of doing such a thing.

In particular, if the report is true, the whistleblower will receive a reward of 200 yuan.

Long Ling snorted coldly and sat down. He was a magnanimous man and wouldn't bother with these lowly humans!
Gu Yuan's eyes darted around: "Isn't this a joke? Look at you, how could you take it seriously?"

Yun Ran then withdrew her gaze and turned her attention to the red invitation in her arms.

As expected, upon opening it, it was a challenge letter.

This is a permissible part of the Xuanmen Grand Competition rules; if someone disagrees, they can challenge whoever they want to challenge.

However, to prevent malicious disruption, there are certain requirements for this challenge.

To issue a challenge, you need not only the approval of the competition committee and the consent of the person being challenged, but also a certain amount of resources as a prize.

If you win, you get the challenger's score; but if you lose, the resources that were given as a prize go to the challenger.

Gu Yuan came closer and his eyes widened when he saw the list of names and prizes on the post.

"Wow, wow, they've come knocking on our door so quickly, and they've even joined forces. But I'm really eyeing all the resources they've brought out!"

"That's why people say those powerful families still have a deep foundation. Even if they've declined, they're still bigger than a horse."

Even Xie Xuzhi might not be able to find all those resources in the post for her, but now that someone has delivered them to her doorstep, she's happy to accept them.

Gu Yuan has come to understand this a bit now. His eldest son is well aware of the old guys' thoughts and knows that they would never be happy to see someone other than one of their own take the lead.

They will definitely try every means to suppress these rising young people. So, they will use this opportunity to let Yun Ran take down these old guys.

"Fortunately, my Gu family didn't intend to fight the eldest brother to the death, otherwise, we wouldn't even know when the eldest brother had schemed against us."

"How can this be called scheming? They made a move, we responded, and they lost because they were less skilled."

Gu Yuan immediately wrapped his clothes tighter around himself and silently mourned for three seconds on behalf of the others.

Yun Ran handed the invitation to Gu Yuan: "I accept this challenge. As long as they can afford the prize, I'll take it!" Others come to compete and win the championship, but she's here to 'buy for free'.

"Okay, leave this to me!"

When Gu Yuan came, he was cautious; when he left, he was full of confidence.

The next day, at daybreak, Yunran changed her clothes and followed the staff to another location.

Looking at the venue, which was much larger than the competition center, Yunran couldn't help but marvel.

Without even asking, Yunran knew that most of those people who had no background or resources in the past who had risen to prominence had probably been suppressed by this kind of 'challenge'.

Even the most capable person can withstand such a relentless barrage of attacks.

Smarter people, when things don't look good, will either align themselves with these people or quietly withdraw and preserve their strength.

No wonder that over the years, most of the people in the Special Administration Bureau have come from the Xuanmen sect; it seems like it's about to become their one-man show.

No wonder Xie Xuzhi wanted to suppress them and promoted newcomers from less privileged backgrounds.

With Ginseng Fruit following Yun Ran around, and given his current tiny appearance, no one was on guard against him.

Of the dozen or so people who received a spot, apart from a few who came from prominent families of the Xuanmen sect, the rest were all challenged.

The staff member who came to greet Yun Ran happened to be someone who had witnessed Yun Ran's skills before, and his attitude at this moment was quite good.

"Miss Yun, this way please."

Upon arriving at the designated area, Yunran realized that only four people had accepted the challenge.

One of them happened to be the young man who had fought alongside Yun Ran before.

The other two people were a man and a woman. Although they hadn't spoken, they seemed to have a friendly appearance.

However, the two seemed to have rather cold personalities, never smiling, as if someone owed them millions.

"Just the few of us?"

The young man wasn't surprised at all when he saw Yun Ran.

He had little interaction with Yun Ran, but when he received the challenge, he was absolutely certain that Yun Ran would accept it.

Seeing that there were four people here was much better than he had anticipated.

"Yes, it's just the few of us."

No one asked where the others who didn't come had gone.

How many people are challenging you?

Yunran wasn't a particularly outgoing person, but she didn't dislike the young man in front of her, so she answered his question.

"30."

The other three: ...

They already thought being challenged was a terrible thing, but now, hearing that Yunran was being challenged by 30 people, they were even more upset.

Suddenly, I had a feeling that I wasn't so miserable after all.

The young man frowned slightly: "This is pushing the limits of quantity..."
