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

Chapter 750 What a terrible idea! (2 updates)
Xie Xuzhi frowned slightly: "Are you saying that I might have been used as some kind of sacrifice?"

He couldn't accept this possibility at all; he was a member of the Xie family, the eldest grandson of the Xie family's direct line.

If this were in ancient times, his life or death would have shaken half the country.

He immediately and instinctively retorted, "Impossible!"

It's really not easy to finally see someone like Xie Xuzhi break down.

Yun Ran tilted her head, her tone relaxed yet certain: "Why is it impossible? Being a sacrifice isn't about status or position."

Oh, right, at certain times, the higher the status and the better the fate of the person who is offered as a sacrifice, the better the effect.

I was once chosen as a sacrificial candidate, and that was because of my exceptional talent and top-notch skills.

As she spoke, Yun Ran raised an eyebrow and pointed her thumb at herself with a proud expression.

Xie Xuzhi: ...

So, is being chosen as a sacrifice something to be proud of?

"You haven't told me how I should cooperate with you!"

Xie Xuzhi felt that if he didn't change the subject, Yun Ran would spend several minutes praising him and indulging in her narcissism.

Yunran was pulled back to her senses, and after saying "oh" twice, she began to get back to the main topic.

"Well, here's what I'm thinking: if our guess is right, then a heavyweight sacrifice like you will definitely be of great use."

The person who plotted against you before will definitely not let you go, and may even be watching you from the shadows right now.

You know what bait is, right? Why don't you send everyone around you away, then stroll around casually for a bit? Maybe you'll lure them out.

Xie Xuzhi was listening very seriously to Yun Ran's plan, but it turned out to be such a terrible idea!

He looked Yun Ran up and down: "What you just said makes me think you're a traitor!"

They deliberately persuaded him to be alone, then waited to sell him for a good price!

Yunran: ...

She was a model citizen, full of righteousness and a strong sense of justice. How could she possibly be associated with an internal traitor?
"Why are you talking so much nonsense? Just tell me, are you willing or not!"

Xie Xuzhi thought for a moment and realized that there was no better way at the moment.

Moreover, he and Yunran were somewhat in sync, both using the tactic of alerting the enemy. Now, the relevant personnel should have been alerted.

Although Yunran's idea was a bit bad, it turned out to be a very effective method.

Of course, this is on the premise that he can live a good life, and not actually be captured and used as some kind of sacrifice.

"no problem!"

Having already reached their current positions, Xie Xuzhi is someone whose every move has far-reaching consequences, so only Yun Ran would dare to let him take such a risk.

In fact, Yunran's reaction was quite calm, and she didn't feel at all that her suggestion was difficult.

Thinking back to when the two first met, Yun Ran saw that Xie Xuzhi had the opportunity she needed, which is why she stepped in to save him.

Xie Xuzhi survived because of her intervention.

Last time, Xie Xuzhi was captured, which triggered the blood curse on his body.

If it weren't for the cursed shackles on his body, and the fact that he happened to run into Rong Gu's Azure Dragon seeking death, then everything would have gone smoothly.

Yun Ran had no choice but to forcibly break Xie Xuzhi's deadlock, at the cost of having her natal magic weapon shared... In short, although she gained a lot from Xie Xuzhi, Xie Xuzhi also owed her a lot.

So what's wrong with letting Xie Xuzhi take some risks? It's not like he's going to die!
Fortunately, Xie Xuzhi was perceptive and agreed. Otherwise, she would have had to take matters into her own hands and personally kidnap Xie Xuzhi to be used as bait.

Xie Xuzhi knew exactly what Yun Ran was thinking; if he did, he'd probably be sweating bullets.

"what should I do?"

"Wait, I'll create some illusions around you, so that people can immediately tell that your previous death calamity hasn't been completely broken."

As for me, because your death tribulation erupted and I was then affected by the backlash, you were worried about the danger, so you sent everyone around you away..."

Yunran was completely absorbed in the script she had planned.

Xie Xuzhi reached out and interrupted Yun Ran: "Do you think someone who can hide their identity so well would trust me so easily to send out my 'Eight Great Vajras'?"

Those were his elite troops, you know. Especially someone as shrewd as him, would he be foolish enough to send his own people away? This isn't child's play.

Yunran: ...

"Then what do you suggest? Anyway, just make those people who are watching us from the shadows believe it."

Xie Xuzhi thought about it for a moment and quickly came up with a perfect idea.

Others might say that three cobblers can outwit Zhuge Liang, but he and Yunran, with just a blink of their eyes, could come up with an idea.

After briefly explaining her thoughts, Yun Ran had no idea that Xie Xuzhi's plan involved her.

"Although you want others to see that you were seriously injured by my counterattack, even a starved camel is bigger than a horse."

"Under normal circumstances, even if you were seriously injured, I would be safe and sound without any other bodyguards present. Otherwise, there would be no reason for the Eight Great Bodyguards to be sent away."

Yunran was speechless again. She had to admit that compared to these people who were experts at scheming and manipulating power, she was still lacking in experience.

This scheme is absolutely brilliant.

At that time, he, facing certain death, and she, severely injured, will be in a perfect loop, eager to capture the person!
"Okay, we'll do it your way. I'll go back and get ready!"

With that, Yun Ran turned and left. All she needed to do was provide the technical expertise; Xie Xuzhi could handle the rest.

We can't expect her to go through everything herself, or she'll be exhausted.

When Yunran returned to her hotel room, Renshenguo had already packed their luggage.

"Host, when are we leaving?"

The reason I'm not staying here anymore isn't because the rooms are too expensive.

The main problem is that they don't know where they will stay at night.

When the time comes, we'll just book rooms wherever we end up.

There are plenty of hotels and guesthouses along the way to Wuhuang Mountain, so there's no need to worry about not having a place to stay.

"Where is Xuan Chu?"

I didn't see it when I left, and I still haven't seen it now that I'm back.

Ginseng Fruit quickly said, "Xuan Kong has arrived. He went to meet up with them. When he left, he told me to tell you that he would see you later."

Upon hearing this, Yun Ran immediately understood that Xuan Chu had intended to help her.

However, as people of Tiandao Village, their first task as master and disciple was definitely to find someone who could counter Tiandao Village's secret techniques.
