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

Chapter 693 Fortune Turns (2nd Update)
Although He Tu didn't voice his thoughts, his expression betrayed him.

Yun Ran raised an eyebrow: "What? You're still not convinced!"

These words struck a nerve with He Tu. He was indeed unconvinced, but now he was under someone else's roof and had no choice but to bow his head.

We have no choice but to endure it, otherwise, we might really have to fight Yun Ran!
He Tu, outwardly acquiescing but inwardly resentful, immediately said with some indignation, "I know, I know! Now it's your world, the world of young people."

We old folks should just go back and wait to die, instead of coming out here to compete with you youngsters!!!

Once Yunran was sure He Tu understood her meaning, she nodded immediately.

She didn't care whether He Tu was unhappy or whether his tone was sarcastic.

"It's good that you know. After all, nobody knows how many young people like me and Rong Gu are left. And you won't always be so lucky to be saved."

You must have encountered quite a few evil cultivators, and you know better than anyone that if someone of your cultivation level were to be manipulated or schemed against, the consequences wouldn't be just your own…”

He Tu, who was still holding a grudge, was reminded of how Rong Gu had tricked him when he heard Yun Ran's words.

Whether he's injured or not is another matter; the most important thing is how embarrassing it is!

He had enjoyed decades of glory, but now that he's old, he's either being suppressed and beaten by the younger generation (Rong Gu) or lectured by them (Yun Ran), making him want to die every minute.

If his fake friends knew about these things, they would probably use him as a negative example and laugh at him for decades, even after he died.

Just thinking about these things made He Tu feel quite deflated.

When Xuan Chu arrived, he noticed that Yun Ran's expression was noticeably serious, and he subconsciously slowed his pace.

He Tu noticed Xuan Chu's arrival and immediately straightened up.

He gave Yunran face because Yunran had saved his life, not because he was afraid of Yunran.

As for the others, He Tu didn't even want to give them a second glance. If asked, he simply said they weren't worthy!
"Is there anything else? If not, I'll be going now!"

He Tu's tone was still not very friendly, and Yun Ran did not try to persuade him to stay.

They were never on the same path to begin with, and the fact that they can barely coexist peacefully now is already the limit.

Only after He Tu's figure had completely disappeared did Xuan Chu speak: "Aren't you afraid that Rong Gu is waiting in the shadows to ambush and kill him?"

The events that had happened before convinced Xuan Chu that Rong Gu's feelings for Yun Ran went beyond mere hatred; there was also an inexplicable obsession.

It's logical that Yunran saved Hetu, and Ronggu then intercepted and killed him.

To everyone's surprise, Yunran said with certainty, "She won't."

She had fought with Rong Gu a few times, but the two had barely exchanged a few words.

But Yunran knew that Rong Gu wouldn't dwell on something that had already failed.

In other words, Rong Gu is a very difficult opponent, but she will not devote a lot of time to dealing with Yun Ran.

When the two first clashed, Rong Gu was just a self-taught individual with no 'career plan'.

Otherwise, it wouldn't have been solely worshipped by the Jing family, the richest family in Haicheng at the time.

But it was also on that occasion that Rong Gu caught the eye of certain organizations, and they rescued her. From then on, Rong Gu clearly had something more important to do.

Dealing with Yunran was clearly not something she had planned deliberately; it seemed more like she just happened to seize the opportunity and then took the chance to dig a pit for Yunran.

If things start to look bad, they will retreat decisively and never linger in the fight.

Thinking of this, Yun Ran also felt a bit of a headache. She wasn't afraid of encountering ruthless evil cultivators, but someone like Rong Gu really seemed like a nemesis. Xuan Chu didn't know why Yun Ran was so sure, but he trusted her judgment and naturally didn't waste any more words.

"Are you looking for me?"

"I did have some things to discuss, but you don't look too well. How about we talk about it after you've rested?"

Yunran was just annoyed that she had encountered such a troublesome woman as Rong Gu, but it was far from being to the point that she couldn't even handle things.

"No need, just say it."

Xuan Chu sat down directly, poured himself a cup of tea, took a sip, and then said, "What I want to talk about is the matter of the Dragon Spirit."

He made a mess of the Gu God Temple, then packed his bags and left. The foreign forces that coveted the Gu God Temple were also thrown into chaos.

Yunran: ...

The reason for leaving Long Ling behind to hold the line was to ensure that the others could leave safely and avoid unnecessary casualties.

But she really didn't expect that Long Ling could cause so much trouble!

Are there any innocent people involved?

Combating the cruel methods used by the Gu God Temple is a good thing in itself, but if innocent people are implicated, then the consequences will be a huge mess.

Xuan Chu shook his head: "Those forces that were dragged into this should all have been screened by the Dragon Spirit. They are either wicked or have blood on their hands."

This answer made Yun Ran breathe a sigh of relief; it was good that no innocent people were involved.

Yun Ran herself didn't even realize that her symbiotic contract with the dragon spirit had been dissolved.

But even now, she is still extremely nervous about what Long Ling has done.

I'm afraid that if I'm not careful, Long Ling might do something that will anger both heaven and man.

This feeling of being the 'patriarch' is truly awful.

No wonder my master, despite his young age, is not only bald but also ages rapidly; he must have too many worries.

Xuan Chu glanced at Yun Ran's relieved expression and tentatively asked, "Should we retrieve the Dragon Spirit?"

Yunran quickly shook her head. She was already exhausted and didn't want to face another troublesome person.

In other words, Junior Uncle isn't here right now. If he were, he would definitely add insult to injury with a sarcastic remark: "What goes around comes around!"

Compared to Yun Ran's reckless and arrogant actions back then, what Long Ling did was utterly insignificant.

Now Yunran finally understands how her elders felt back then.

Yunran just wants to wait for those evil cultivators to be arrested before leaving South China.

The last time she came to South China, Zhao Mingzhu inexplicably sent her to a deadly cruise ship, and she also encountered that awful thing, Long Ling.

This trip to South China has brought another bunch of messy troubles.

In conclusion, South China is really not a good place for her; it would be best to avoid it in the future.

Thinking this, Yunran directly called to the little paper figures: "Hurry up and pack your things. Once things are over here, we'll go back to Haicheng right away!"

"Yes, Master."

Xuan Chu watched Yun Ran give her instructions, completely bewildered as she suddenly jumped from discussing the Dragon Spirit to returning to Haicheng.
