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

Chapter 396 I Will No Longer Tolerate Certain People (2 Updates)
Yun Ran took two steps back and looked at Xin Fu: "It's your turn to step up."

Xin Fu's head was buzzing at this moment. He had probably never experienced what it meant to win without effort, as if he were walking on cotton.

Before this, he thought he would have to fight three hundred rounds and be badly injured to get a good ranking.

But now, seeing that there are only four people left on the other side, while there are only two on their side, the pressure has been greatly reduced.

The fact that he only needed to defeat three people gave Xin Fu a huge boost of confidence: "Don't worry, Miss Yun, I will definitely get a top-three ranking."

He held the sword in his hand, looked at the other person, and said with unwavering determination, "Please enlighten me!"

Yun Ran walked to a corner, sat down on the ground, and immediately began to meditate cross-legged with her eyes closed, showing no sign of nervousness.

Xin Fu has good practical experience. Although he is not quite as experienced as the disciples of those profound Xuanmen families, his experience makes up for it to some extent.

Their match was the one everyone was looking forward to—a contest between equally matched opponents.

Many people looked at Yun Ran's lazy posture, and although they disapproved of it, Yun Ran's powerful move just now made even the most gossipy people shut up.

They say comparisons are the thief of joy, and now they didn't want to look at Yun Ran anymore, their attention was all on Xin Fu's fight with the others.

Gu Yuan, who was in Kyoto, stared intently at the live broadcast on his phone.

When you see Yun Ran's detached state at this moment, the expressions on her face are a colorful mix.

He now seemed to understand the frustration others felt when they saw Yun Ran like this. If she were his enemy, he would be even more vulnerable than others.

Xie Xuzhi was able to sit up, but he still couldn't speak. There were several special computers next to him.

He's such a workaholic; even in this state, he still doesn't forget about work.

Seeing Gu Yuan's various expressions, Xie Xuzhi's fingers twitched, and the computer next to him suddenly emitted the exact same sound as Xie Xuzhi.

"Keep releasing the news that I will soon be stepping down as deputy director of the General Administration!"

Gu Yuan immediately put down his phone and turned to look at him: "Boss, aren't you afraid those people will rebel?"

Although he is currently stationed at the hospital, news from all over the country is actually being gathered here without missing a single piece.

Even before the news of the boss's troubles broke, some people were already starting to make moves.

If rumors were to spread again that he was going to step down as deputy director, Gu Yuan didn't even dare to imagine how many people would cause trouble.

The situation they've managed to suppress for so many years is about to descend into chaos again.

Xie Xuzhi's chuckle came through the phone again.

Although the voice sounded exactly like Xie Xuzhi's, Gu Yuan still felt a bit creeped out by it.

"If things don't get chaotic, how can we find the person who has been hiding all along?"

His previous methods were 'mild' only because he knew he was about to die, so he adopted the strategy of slowly boiling a frog in water.

The concern is that if he dies and his successor lacks the necessary skills, the suppressed person might find an opportunity to retaliate, and power could easily slip away.

But things are different now. He turned misfortune into blessing. Although he almost died, the biggest threat he had was removed.

Although there are still some aftereffects, they are not important. He won't die easily, and then he won't tolerate certain people anymore.

In fact, he would no longer serve as the deputy director of the Special Administration Bureau as a member of a collateral branch of the Xie family.

But he will soon regain his status as the eldest son of the Xie family, directly becoming the director of the Special Administration Bureau, the rightful head of the organization. The old director once said that his only chance of survival lay with the Special Administration Bureau.

He then made a deal with the other party to keep an eye on the Special Administration Bureau for him. However, he searched through all the information and even investigated the sealed evil arts, but he still couldn't find a solution.

Unexpectedly, he, who had taken life and death lightly, actually managed to survive by putting himself in a life-or-death situation.

As if thinking of something, a rare warmth appeared in Xie Xuzhi's eyes.

At this crucial moment, Gu Yuan's eyes met Xie Xuzhi's.

Perhaps because he had always seen Xie Xuzhi's indifference, Gu Yuan felt goosebumps all over his body when he saw such a look in Xie Xuzhi's eyes.

He blurted out, "Boss, I think you're better suited to being aloof. The way you are now, you're like a smiling tiger, it's really creepy!"

Xie Xuzhi's eyes, which had just been filled with warmth, immediately switched to a cold expression.

At the same time, the computer's voice came through: "You can't expect anything good to come out of a dog's mouth!"

Although he was scolded, Gu Yuan felt comfortable. Hmm, this is the right feeling, just like the boss just now, like he had been possessed.

"Yes, yes, yes, I'm Gossip, I'll get to work right away!"

With that, Gu Yuan opened the door to the ward and went straight out to speak with his trusted confidant.

In the corridor, every meter or so, stood a trusted aide dressed in field uniform.

To ensure Xie Xuzhi's safety, only Xie Xuzhi lived in the entire building, while the rest of the passageways were densely packed with their people.

After Gu Yuan left, Xie Xuzhi's gaze fell on the tablet not far away, which showed the scene of Yun Ran and the others competing.

Seeing Yun Ran's casual demeanor, Xie Xuzhi couldn't help but chuckle.

When he made the deal with Yunran, it was truly the best thing he ever did.

But then, he remembered the reports from his subordinates that because news of his accident had spread, some people had started trying to suppress him.

There were even people trying to poach her, reaching out to Yun Ran. A murderous glint flashed in Xie Xuzhi's eyes.

If you want to poach someone's partner, you have to see if you're tough enough!

He was quite looking forward to seeing how interesting it would be when these people found out that he was the rumored, decisive, and even ruthless eldest son of the Xie family.

Yun Ran, who was meditating, felt the Heavenly Thunder Token begin to tremble again, and her brows furrowed slightly.

The Heavenly Thunder Token is her natal magic weapon, and under normal circumstances, it is affected by her emotions.

But she has been able to control her emotions since she was very young, and even control her dreams. After the Heavenly Thunder Token was made, it remained very quiet.

This tremor now is definitely not because of her.

Thinking back to the resonance that had occurred between the Heavenly Thunder Token and Xie Xuzhi.

Yun Ran felt a pang of regret once again; she had really dug herself into this mess!

Excessive vibration of one's natal magical artifact can easily hinder its advancement.

Just like a person who is too noisy, it is easy to deplete their energy, which is not good for their health.

Yun Ran forcibly suppressed the tremors of the Heavenly Thunder Token, while simultaneously attempting to sever its resonance with Xie Xuzhi.
