Chapter 712 More Like a Tool

The once bustling garden suddenly had far fewer people, making the entire garden look much more spacious.

Yunran stood on the stage; the higher she stood, the farther she could see.

It was easy to see that the tall wine tower had been pushed over on the lawn not far from the garden.

Several people were lying on the ground, and a few onlookers were standing nearby; it was clearly the scene of the accident.

The hotel staff had already called the police. They were quite curious, but the bodyguards hired by the Yun family kept them at bay.

Yun Ran glanced at Principal Du: "You should go back to your room and rest. I can handle things here."

Principal Du originally wanted to stay, as he knew many people in the police station and might be able to help.

Just as he was thinking this, he suddenly remembered that Yun Ran used to work for the Special Administration Bureau...

Principal Du immediately showed an awkward yet polite smile.

"Okay, just give me a call if you need anything."

These expensive bodyguards were quite effective; they brought the situation under control in less than ten minutes.

Unrelated personnel all 'voluntarily' returned to their hotel rooms; those who remained were all people who could produce identification.

Yun Ran came down from the stage, and Xuan Chu also rushed over from the hotel corridor.

When their eyes met, Xuan Chu gently shook his head, his meaning clear: he hadn't found anything about the reborn person either.

"Let's go take a look together."

As Yun Ran approached, someone immediately stepped forward, holding a tablet computer, with a somewhat solemn expression.

"Third Miss, five people have died. Based on my experience, they were likely poisoned. Here is their identification information."

The speaker was the captain of the Yun family's bodyguard team. He used to be a soldier, the most elite kind, and was Yun Jingyang's personal bodyguard.

"I understand. Don't let anyone near here until the police arrive."

Yunran took the tablet and, upon seeing the identities of these people, immediately felt a headache coming on.

Even without looking at the tablet, Xuan Chu could guess that the dead people were not ordinary; anyone who could be here was a pampered heiress from a wealthy family.

Logically speaking, these people were murdered, and they must have harbored a lot of resentment after death, so their souls wouldn't leave so quickly.

Xuan Chu looked around but couldn't find any resentful spirits nearby, let alone any malevolent souls.

Xuan Chu told Yun Ran what he had seen, and then whispered, "In this situation, either their souls have been captured by someone."

Or perhaps they themselves were burdened by deep karmic debts, and their souls scattered immediately upon death.

If they hadn't discovered the reborn individual with such powerful destiny before, Xuan Chu would now be more inclined to suspect that someone had abducted their souls.

But now, Xuan Chu felt that these people must have committed a lot of sins, and they were killed by someone else, but their souls were scattered.

"Weren't you keeping an eye on that person named Lan Jun? Could it be that she managed to poison these people so accurately right under your nose?"

Yun Ran had only asked the question casually, but she didn't expect that it would leave Xuan Chu stunned.

He was certain he had been watching Lan Jun the whole time; everything she was holding had been replaced.

But things still turned out the worst possible way. "I didn't believe before that someone could have such strong luck, but now I do. It's as if whatever she wants to do, she will somehow manage to accomplish it."

This topic immediately struck a nerve with Yunran.

For someone who chokes even when drinking water, the fact that she doesn't become jealous and resentful upon seeing someone with such incredible luck shows how magnanimous she is.

"Tell me, why would someone with such strong luck be reborn, and still harbor such deep hatred and resentment!"

Such a person with strong luck comes with a lucky buff, and others who face her will not have a good time.

The five people lying on the ground right now are the best example.

Yunran sighed softly, then withdrew her gaze.

It wasn't that she didn't want to save these people, nor that she didn't want to stop Lan Jun from taking action.

The other party's luck was simply too strong. Even if she and Xuan Chu took action, what the other party wanted to do would be accomplished in another way.

If you forcibly interfere and anger the other party, the consequences may be even more serious.

The other members of the Xuanmen sect who remained also noticed the people lying on the ground, and there was no yin energy around them.

They were also somewhat frightened by the scene before them.

“Yunran said that someone had attacked her paper doll. I believed her, but I didn’t take it too seriously.”

These people died mysteriously, and even their souls aren't around. Could it be that some evil cultivator really infiltrated the area?

"Probably not. This is Yunran's home turf, after all. To slap Qingfeng Temple in the face like this, how arrogant must someone be?"

"Otherwise, I just checked carefully with a compass, and there are no souls of these people at all. They must have been taken away."

"I think these few people must have offended someone. Otherwise, with so many people here before, why are only these few the ones who died?"

……

Wan Qiyu naturally heard their discussion, but he clearly had a different opinion.

However, he had no interest in talking to these people and strode directly toward Yunran.

After stopping, Wan Qiyu lowered his voice and said, "I have seen similar cases in the ancient books of the Wan Qi family."

Yun Ran glanced at Wan Qiyu, and although she didn't say anything, the meaning in her eyes made Wan Qiyu instantly understand that she wanted him to continue speaking.

Wan Qiyu was immediately amused. He hadn't expected that he and Yun Ran would actually have some tacit understanding.

Ancient books record a type of person who is born with great fortune, known as the lucky koi.

The people they like are blessed with good fortune, prosperity, and longevity; the people they hate are plagued by bad luck, have unstable souls, and whose souls will immediately dissipate after death…

When she first heard it, Yun Ran didn't react much, until she heard that people the lucky koi disliked would have their souls scattered after death.

Yun Ran's expression immediately became somewhat strange, and she looked at Wan Qiyu with suspicion in her eyes.

"Are you sure this is a lucky charm? I feel like it's more like a tool to change one's luck."

Furthermore, what's so special about this "lucky koi"? If everything were done according to her whims, society would descend into chaos!
