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

Chapter 442 Being a person means being a little more spontaneous (2nd update)
Yunran was the first to post a message: 【I'm ready, I can leave anytime tonight!】

Minister Duan: ...

Shouldn't he be the one saying this? But since Elder Gong is in the group, he really doesn't dare to be presumptuous.

My mind immediately started to race: She's still just as annoying as before!

But he still sped up. He had originally planned to leave tomorrow, but now that he was leaving tonight, he had to get everything ready immediately.

Yunran, on the other hand, was quite free. She got out of bed, took a nice bath, and ate some peaches cut from ginseng fruit.

That evening, Yunran waited with great enthusiasm for the car to pick her up and take her to the airport. She knew that going out with these big shots from the Special Administration Bureau meant receiving preferential treatment.

That's why she doesn't need to worry about anything related to the trip; she can just go with them.

Upon arriving at the airport, we could see the private jet waiting in the distance, with many people around carrying things onto it.

"You came?"

Suddenly, a familiar voice from Minister Duan came from behind, but it carried a hint of resentment.

Turning my head, sure enough, I saw Minister Duan looking completely businesslike.

Especially when they saw that tiny little ginseng fruit was following along, carrying a big box.

Minister Duan frowned even more: "Why did you bring a child with you on such a dangerous mission? And making a child push the luggage, aren't you being a bit too exploitative!"

Yun Ran spread her hands: "Minister Duan, your statement is somewhat biased. This is my little apprentice, so naturally I take him with me wherever I go."

You can't make such malicious assumptions about me just because my methods of teaching apprentices are different from yours.

Minister Duan really wanted to slap himself twice for thinking that Yun Ran was actually quite good that morning.

Now he can see it clearly: when Yun Ran wants to befriend someone, she can be so sweet-talking that she can coax even the birds down from the trees.

But once she achieved her goal, this guy's personality became incredibly annoying.

I don't know who taught him this personality; he's even more annoying than a spoiled brat!
"Humph!"

Minister Duan walked straight past Yun Ran and headed towards the plane, clearly indicating that he didn't want to deal with Yun Ran anymore, lest he get angry.

Yunran didn't think there was anything wrong with her personality at all. She believed that one should be more spontaneous in life.

Then his footsteps immediately followed.

The men that Minister Duan brought quickly glanced at Yun Ran. Before today, they had only heard a little about Yun Ran.

When they learned about this mission, they went through Yunran's entire file again.

Now that they've seen the real people, all they can say is that those who wrote the files must have received bribes.

They had never seen anyone dare to speak to their minister with such a frivolous and sarcastic tone.

Old Master Gong arrived at this time. Although he was not young, he exuded the aura of a big shot as soon as he appeared.

That single glance was enough to make the busy people around stop what they were doing and bow respectfully.

Yunran was a little envious. She wished that when she made her appearance, she could also have that kind of intimidating aura.

Old Master Gong naturally noticed the expression on Yun Ran's face and found it somewhat amusing. "You're envious?"

Yun Ran nodded honestly. Although she was quite capable, she was too young, and apart from those she knew well, no one else really respected her.

Back then, her status at Qingfeng Temple was second only to a few people and above others, but because of her pretty and young face, she never had much authority.

Back in the Northwest, they were on opposing sides, and Elder Gong never gave Yun Ran a friendly look.

But at this moment, Yun Ran was no longer a member of the Special Administration Bureau, so there was naturally no issue of stance between the two sides.

The way Elder Gong looked at Yun Ran carried a hint of appreciation for the younger generation.

"Although your strength has reached that level, your worldly status has not yet reached it. I heard that you are going to establish your own sect. Perhaps, in a few years, your worldly status will also be achieved."

Yunran was merely somewhat saddened by people's judgment of appearance, but she didn't dwell on such matters.

Hearing that Elder Gong was actually comforting her, she felt a sense of respect for the old man in front of her.

"I didn't expect you to think so highly of me. I thought that many people, especially the conservative ones, would think I was overestimating myself."

Old Master Gong was a conservative, and Yun Ran's words were pointed, but he wasn't angry.

"A person's stance is often tied to their identity. Although stances may differ, it doesn't mean I lack insight."

You're a clever girl, talented, and lucky—you've got it all. If you wanted, plenty of people would be willing to offer you opportunities…

Yunran quickly waved her hand: "Please stop, sir. Otherwise, I'll become arrogant."

Old Master Gong knew that Yun Ran wasn't really afraid of his pride, but rather trying to stop him from trying to recruit her.

Such a clever girl, it's such a pity she wasn't born into a family of Taoist masters.

Even if Yun Ran was born into a very small Xuanmen family, or even a collateral branch, he would do everything he could to support Yun Ran and make her the leader of their faction.

Some people have suggested that Yunran should be destroyed before she fully matures, so that she won't stand against them in the future.

Elder Gong was the first to stand up and object. Only those who had actually fought Yun Ran knew that this girl was far from being immature.

She has clearly grown into a towering tree; outsiders are simply deceived by her childish expression.

Anyone who actually makes a move will absolutely be throwing their own life away.

That's why, when Yun Ran asked, he agreed without much thought; having one more friend is always better than having one more enemy.

Moreover, he could clearly sense that Yun Ran's vision was far broader than these power struggles; she would never actively participate in such matters of power and profit.

Perhaps, Yunran will become a third neutral force in the future, and many wavering people will eventually lean towards Yunran.

Thinking of this, Elder Gong smiled faintly and said, "Your strength is something to be proud of."

Since they've given her so much face, Yunran naturally has to reciprocate in kind.

He then replied, seemingly casually, "You have a good eye, but I'm only interested in making money and catching ghosts and exorcising evil spirits. Everything else is irrelevant to me."

To me, black cats and white cats are the same; a good cat is one that can catch mice.
