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

Chapter 411 It's so good to have power and influence!
The masked shadows have a low sensitivity to pain, and even now, suffering internal injuries and vomiting blood doesn't have a significant impact on them.

If they were facing someone else, they would definitely choose to fight to the death and would never leave the other side a chance to survive!
However, the oppressive aura and murderous intent emanating from Yun Ran made it impossible for them to predict the exact magnitude of the danger, and the level of danger remained unknown.

After a few seconds of standoff, the masked figures stepped back and made way for each other.

Yunran: ...

She had genuinely thought these people were single-minded, but it turns out they do know how to weigh the pros and cons, which is quite different from what she had previously known about assassins.

"Keep a close eye on your husband. If there are any problems, come to me anytime!"

With that, Yun Ran lifted her foot and walked out.

Old Zhou stood at the door, but he knew everything that had happened inside.

Even though Yunran had the upper hand, he didn't cross the threshold.

This puzzled Yunran. Were these so-called rules really that important?
If she were truly a villain, the head of the Wang family would have been easily killed just now.

Although Yunran didn't ask, Elder Zhou clearly noticed her confusion.

He directly answered Yunran's question: "Therefore, all those who can be invited are people of extremely high moral character and ability."

If you suffer serious injury due to human error, the Wang family will mobilize the entire clan to fight to the death!

Yunran: ...

Goodness, this is a mix of flattery and threats; no wonder they're so at ease.

It turns out that all the people invited were people who had been investigated by the Wang family.

If some people are truly harboring malicious intentions, then their families, relatives, and friends will all suffer.

Yun Ran chuckled lightly, "I see. It seems the Wang family does indeed have a strong foundation. I'm rather curious, what exactly did your master do before?"

Old Master Zhou gestured to Yun Ran, "Then please come to the reception room next door for a detailed discussion, Miss Yun."

Wang Mian's courtyard, even with the naked eye, is definitely a beautiful and healthy place.

Unfortunately, this seemingly vibrant place is also fraught with danger. If you are not careful, you will be trapped here and die without even knowing how.

But Yun Ran is a rebellious person by nature, and the more dangerous the situation, the more excited she becomes.

"Alright, please lead the way, Elder Zhou."

As I passed by a flower bed, a seemingly harmless vine lay there all alone.

At the edge of the flower bed, there was nothing visible to the naked eye, but Yunran still noticed that the inside and outside of the flower bed were blocked by an invisible air wall.

When Yunran looked over, the vine seemed to be startled, and its small leaves began to tremble slightly.

A person who is not paying attention might think that it is just being blown by the wind and would not have any doubts at all.

When Zhou Lao saw Yun Ran's gaze fall on the flower bed, he also stopped in his tracks. On his face, there was no sign of panic that Yun Ran had discovered his secret.

Instead, she asked, "Miss Yun seems quite interested in the plants in this flower bed?"

Yun Ran's gaze didn't leave the vines, but she suddenly laughed out loud: "Your Wang family is quite interesting, you dare to raise anything!"

Old Zhou immediately understood that Yun Ran had seen through the true nature of the vine demon.

No wonder Ninth Young Master said before that if Yun Ran came, the chances of Mr. being rescued would be the highest. For this, he even staked all his power over the rest of his life. If Yun Ran failed, Ninth Young Master would be exiled abroad.

"The Wang family's old house has been passed down for hundreds of years. This place is an excellent feng shui location, so it's normal that it can nurture some intelligent plants and animals."

Yunran knew that Elder Zhou was not lying. This auspicious place had not experienced any major upheavals for hundreds of years under the protection of the Wang family.

In addition, there is the Heart of the Mountain Range beneath the Wang family's old residence, so it's only natural that the plants and trees there would become sentient.

Perhaps because the Wang family never interfered with the growth of these spirits, they raised them to be exceptionally innocent and harmless.

"No wonder Master Wang has been able to hold on until now; they have contributed quite a bit."

When Elder Zhou heard this, he was slightly surprised. He really didn't know that these spirits they were raising were actually feeding back to the Master.

When someone discovered that some of the plants and trees here had become spirits, many members of the Wang family wanted to find someone to get rid of them.

Back then, the head of the family insisted against all odds, saying that these spirits were companion creatures of the Wang family's old house, and that perhaps one day in the future they could give back to the Wang family.

Later, they even allocated a valley with few human footprints to them, allowing them to grow freely.

Unexpectedly, the words of that family head back then came true.

The vine spirit was unaware of Yun Ran's malice, and its leaves stopped trembling, continuing to pretend to be harmless.

Yun Ran withdrew her gaze and looked at Elder Zhou: "Let's go."

As they turned to leave, the previously motionless vine slowly shifted its body, wrapped itself around the stake prepared for it, and began to diligently absorb sunlight.

Upon arriving at the reception room, Elder Zhou invited Yun Ran to sit in the seat of honor, showing her considerable respect.

As soon as I sat down, someone brought me tea. A delicate fragrance wafted over, making me want to taste it.

Yunran didn't stand on ceremony and directly picked up the teacup and took a sip.

I couldn't help but sigh to myself: It's so good to have power and influence.

The premium teas in her home are so rare they're practically exclusive; most people have never even heard of them.

But the tea she's drinking now is even better than the tea she has at home.

It's obvious without even guessing that this is tea that's never circulated in the market; it's only consumed within their family.

After Yun Ran put down her teacup, Old Master Zhou tactfully asked, "Miss Yun, are you unaware of my master's health..."

"It can be saved, but it's a bit troublesome."

Yun Ran was merely stating the facts, but to Elder Zhou, her words were interpreted as an implication that he wanted to make exorbitant demands.

Old Master Zhou immediately replied, "Miss Yun, rest assured, as long as you can save my master, the Wang family will definitely give you a satisfactory reward."

Yunran: ...

Yes, I've learned something! The younger generation and the older generation really do things differently.

When she went out to work with her master and the others, her master always told her to shut up and act like a wise person.

Isn't silence golden? People who talk to them will keep making up their own ideas and then offer rewards far beyond their wildest imaginations.
