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

Chapter 579 Ancient Bronze Seal
Hearing Gu Yuan's obviously agitated voice, Yun Ran felt a little guilty, which was unusual for her. She knew she was fine, but others didn't.

Therefore, her tone softened somewhat: "Don't worry, I'm fine. Don't you know me? I won't suffer any harm, no matter who else does."

Gu Yuan was initially very worried, but after hearing Yun Ran's words, his worries lessened somewhat, but he still did not give up his decision to come back and see.

"No matter what, I will come back as soon as possible."

After hanging up the phone, Gu Yuan, in a very bad mood, instructed his subordinates: "Postpone everything that can be postponed, and push the rest to the back."

Also, arrange my return trip as soon as possible. You all stay here and be ready to handle any emergencies!

Gu Yuan's men were quite familiar with Yun Ran, so they naturally knew how much their director cared about Yun Ran, his half-sister.

They really didn't expect that Yun Ran was actually a bit rebellious and treacherous, daring to meddle in everything.

It's only because Yun Ran has some real skills; otherwise, who knows how tall the grass would grow on her grave.

Seeing that their department head didn't look too good, the subordinates didn't say anything and could only nod in agreement.

"Don't worry, Director, we will handle it carefully."

Gu Yuan waved for his men to leave, then sighed with a hint of sadness.

Now, he finally understands how frustrating it is for families with unruly children.

Yun Ran glanced at the disconnected phone and felt that Gu Yuan was somewhat like a simplified version of her junior uncle.

However, she quickly put the matter out of her mind. In any case, even if the King of Heaven himself came, she would still be the same person and couldn't change.

Gu Yuan returned the next day and rushed to Ran Mansion without even having a sip of water.

Yun Ran looked at Gu Yuan, who looked rather disheveled and had completely lost the air of the noble young master he used to have.

I couldn't help but tease, "You really have been exiled to the frontier, haven't you? Not only are you all scruffy-bearded, but your hair is also a bit unkempt, and you've gotten much darker and thinner..."

Gu Yuan originally wanted to take the initiative and scare Yun Ran, so that she would remember and not keep going down the path of courting death.

Before he could even open his mouth, Yunran had already given him a long lecture.

Gu Yuan: ...

The maid quickly brought up the health-preserving tea that Yun Ran had personally made, respectfully placed the tea in front of Gu Yuan, and then quietly withdrew.

"Try this tea. I made it using the finest ingredients. It's the only tea I have in the whole world."

Gu Yuan, who had originally intended to give Yun Ran a good talking-to, suddenly lost most of his energy.

"What are you looking at me for? Hurry up and try it!"

Gu Yuan could only suppress his anger, sit down sullenly, pick up his teacup, and drink the tea in one gulp.

A sweet and fragrant aroma immediately enveloped Gu Yuan's entire body, making his somewhat tired body feel as if it had been replenished with energy.

Now, Gu Yuan couldn't bring himself to say the words that were on the tip of his tongue.

In the end, it all boiled down to: "One more drink!"

Yunran burst out laughing. The little paper figure that was pasted on the window as a decoration immediately flew out and carried in the teapot that the maid had brewed.

The little paper figure diligently poured tea for Gu Yuan, its tiny body carrying a teapot several times its own size. Just watching it, one couldn't help but feel a little worried for the little paper figure, afraid that it would be crushed by the weight of the teapot.

In reality, this weight is nothing to the little paper figure; it holds it steadily.

Gu Yuan drank half a pot of tea, his stomach was full of water, and the fire in his heart was extinguished by the tea.

Seeing that Yun Ran was acting as if nothing had happened, especially looking at the obviously eerie patterns on Yun Ran's entire arm.

A deep sense of powerlessness welled up in Gu Yuan's heart, followed by a sigh: "What do you plan to do about this resentment possessing you?"

Before coming, he specifically asked his uncle to help him find out the fate of other people who were similarly possessed by resentment.

Without exception, the deaths were extremely tragic, with the worst cases involving the complete extermination of the entire clan.

This kind of resentment will slowly erode a person's luck, spiritual cultivation, and life, and even those close to them will suffer.

At this moment, the flower branch on Yunran's arm had begun to spread to her elbow.

Before long, the flower branch will slowly climb up your shoulders like a vine, and then begin to take root little by little towards your heart.

Finally, these branches will bind the person's heart tightly, like plants that take root and sprout, piercing through the heart.

Unlike Gu Yuan's deep concern, Yun Ran seemed carefree at this moment.

He said nonchalantly, "Let it grow long if it wants; just treat it as decoration."

If others are possessed by this resentment, they are mostly beyond saving, and the resentment may even slowly spread.

This alters the surrounding magnetic field, affecting all living beings that enter its range.

However, Yunran is under a restriction, so the flower branch can only grow up to her shoulder at most, and it can't grow to the location of her heart at all.

As for devouring luck and such, hehe, her current fate and luck are even worse than those so-called unlucky ghosts.

She was afraid that if this resentment possessed her, she would starve to death and then wither away.

After all, she really didn't have much 'nutrients' to provide for this resentment.

Seeing that Yun Ran genuinely didn't care, Gu Yuan asked with a hint of doubt, "Are you serious? You're not just trying to comfort me?"

Yunran was somewhat displeased by these words.

"I think you've been watching too many brainless TV dramas. I value my life more than anyone else, okay? If anything really happens, I'll be jumping higher than anyone else!"

Gu Yuan believed this, after all, he had never seen anyone carry more life-saving pills than Yun Ran.

"Alright, I'll believe you this time. Oh, by the way, this is a good thing I got from my grandpa, it's for warding off evil spirits, you can keep it!"

As he spoke, Gu Yuan took an antique bronze seal off his neck and handed it to Yun Ran.

He had to beg his grandfather for a long time to get this when he was being promoted and sent to a remote area.

Yunran swore that she really wasn't envious of Gu Yuan's things; she was just a little too curious.

Only then did he reach out and take the so-called ancient bronze seal, intending to examine it and see what this valuable item was all about.

The ancient bronze seal was engraved with the ancient character '镇' (zhen, meaning town/town), and Yunran felt a little dizzy and her vision blurred.
