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

Chapter 362 Might Makes the Best Sense of It (2nd Update)
At this moment, the ginseng fruit also regretted it a little. He shouldn't have chosen to transform into a child, because it felt too easy to be manipulated.

"No need. My little disciple doesn't plan to follow the conventional path of other Xuanmen disciples. He has his own way!"

Now that Ginseng Fruit has gone public, and given her newfound fame, there will definitely be more eyes on them in the future.

To prevent trouble from some people, Yunran planned to establish an unconventional persona for Ginseng Fruit from the beginning, so that it would not easily collapse.

The blind Taoist priest's eyes, which looked as if they were covered by a layer of mist, were now fixed on the ginseng fruit.

"No, you're already this amazing, and you're still planning to create a disciple who's almost as good as you?"
Oh dear, the rest of the people are doomed. For the next few decades, they have no chance of advancement.

The blind Taoist priest had no doubt about Yun Ran's words. It is said that a great teacher produces great students. Yun Ran is so capable, and her eyesight is even more exceptional. If this little disciple didn't have any outstanding qualities, Yun Ran would definitely not have taken a liking to him.

Fortunately, he came out of seclusion early and is now a well-known figure in the region.

As for whether those younger generations will suffer in the future, or whether they will be suppressed and unable to rise to prominence, that's none of his business. It's just that they were born at the wrong time.

"If you say that outside in the future, I'll start to suspect that you're deliberately trying to provoke me. Qingfeng Temple will only have me and my junior disciple in the future. What threat could we possibly pose?"

Faced with Yun Ran's 'humility,' the blind Taoist priest smiled politely and remained silent. After all, he wouldn't be the one to suffer in the future, and he wasn't stupid enough to argue with Yun Ran.

Meanwhile, Gu Yuan returned to Xie Xuzhi's side. There was no need for him to report anything; Xie Xuzhi already knew about what had happened at the challenge arena.

He stood quietly to the side, silently waiting for the time to pass and for the workday to end; his thoughts had long since drifted away.

"What are the attitudes of the other Xuanmen families? Gu Yuan, go and find out about this."

Gu Yuan, who was lost in thought, was jolted back to his senses the moment he heard his name, as if a special pressure point had been struck.

He nodded respectfully: "Yes, I'll go right away."

After leaving the meeting room, I checked the time; there was only one hour left before I could leave work.

Before, he complained that there was too much time left before he could leave work; now, he feels like there's not enough time. He really doesn't want to work overtime!!!
After taking out my phone and pressing a few keys, I immediately heard a beeping sound from the other end.

The person on the other end of the phone answered quickly, but their tone wasn't very friendly.

"Why are you calling? Let me tell you, don't try to trick me. I won't fall for it again!"

"Cousin, what are you saying? Do you think your cousin is such a heartless person?"

The person on the other end of the phone snorted coldly, then let out a sarcastic laugh: "Heh~"

Gu Yuan didn't take it seriously at all, and he didn't feel any guilt whatsoever. His cousins ​​were just there to be tricked, otherwise, why would he give them a nice look?

"I just wanted to ask if you bet on Yunran to win the championship. Don't say I didn't protect you, cousin. I have inside information that Yunran is a shoo-in for the championship."

Such a great opportunity, if you don't buy it, you'll be missing out big time! You have no idea, today Yun Ran utterly defeated the challengers from the other families..."

In short, Yunran is a promising stock; investing now is a sure thing, buy, buy, buy!!!
The person on the other end of the phone immediately erupted like a cannon that had been ignited.

"You're such a Monday morning quarterback! You stopped betting a long time ago. You're just rubbing salt into my wounds. If you had reminded me earlier, would I have lost so much?"

Despite being scolded, Gu Yuan smiled; he had already figured it out.

If other powerful families in the Xuanmen sects were wary and cautious towards Yun Ran, his cousin's tone would never have been one of angry regret; instead, he would have remained silent, as if keeping his mouth shut. "Alright, alright, it's my fault for not being a clear enough reminder. If there's another opportunity like this in the future, I'll definitely make a bigger poster."

"Since you're my cousin, I'll make up for all the resources you lost this time once I win the jackpot, okay? You should be grateful to have a cousin like me."

"You said it! If you're lying to me, I'll post a picture of you wearing open-crotch pants when you were a kid on the intranet!"

After hanging up the phone, Gu Yuan made several more calls, all to his carefully selected 'connections'.

Finally, he was able to confirm that even those families who originally had a poor relationship with the Special Administration Bureau were now either observing or showing deference to Yun Ran.

"Tsk tsk tsk, as expected, might makes right. All principles have to give way."

He checked the time; there were still ten minutes left before he had to leave work. He needed to hurry back and report.

When reporting to Xie Xuzhi, Gu Yuan himself did not realize that his speaking speed was now twice as fast as before.

"Boss, I've finished reporting. Is there anything else you need me to do?"

Xie Xuzhi knew exactly what Gu Yuan was thinking at a glance.

With a gentle wave, Gu Yuan immediately grinned and said, "If there's nothing else, I'll be going home now."

That's the good thing about their eldest son; as long as he's done what he's supposed to do, he never complains, even if the people below him have a so-so attitude.

Unlike others who like to abuse their power and constantly find fault with their subordinates, he doesn't.

Gu Yuan hummed a song as he stepped into Yun Ran's courtyard. There were already quite a few people in the courtyard, making it very lively.

The only thing that felt a little out of place was that Yun Ran was clearly a young person, but all the people who came to congratulate her were old men.

"Director Gu is here!"

Gu Yuan coughed lightly: "Everyone, there's no need to be so polite. Today, everyone is here to celebrate my sister's birthday. Giving my sister face is giving me face."

Long Ling was holding a glass of red wine, leaning against the door frame, looking relaxed and casual.

Seeing Gu Yuan acting like the master of the house, Long Ling immediately sneered, her eyes filled with disdain.

In particular, the attitude of looking down on everyone here, which in turn, successfully divided the lively atmosphere of the courtyard into two parts.

Then, he uttered two words: "Idiot!"

Because Ginseng Fruit is shaped like a child, everyone arranged for it to sit in a baby chair with a large cake in front of it.

With his excellent hearing, he naturally heard Long Ling's voice.

Turning his head, Long Ling downed the entire glass of red wine in one gulp, then let out a loud burp that echoed through the sky.

Ginseng fruit: ...

I finally succumbed to my embarrassment for others.
