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

Chapter 102 Nobody Was Wrong

Zhongli Yuanjing carefully examined Yunran and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

He thought the girl had damaged her foundation, which was why she couldn't wake up. If that was the case, it would be such a pity.

"How about it?"

"Her fate is too bad, and her injuries are much more severe than those of ordinary people. Fortunately, she has a lot of magical artifacts protecting her, otherwise she would have died long ago. Now we just need to give her some more nourishment."

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the people in the ward immediately relaxed.

If it weren't for Yun Ran, they would most likely have been wiped out this time. Now that Yun Ran is safe, they can repay this favor.

Gu Yuan was an honest man, and he immediately took out some rare and precious herbs and brewed them into Yun Ran's medicine.

Surprisingly, it really worked. Yunran woke up the next day.

The moment Yunran opened her eyes, she felt a sense of disorientation. Not only were her eyelids incredibly heavy, but every bone in her body ached, a pain that seemed to penetrate to the bone marrow.

When they heard that she had drunk a rare and precious herb worth tens of millions in one go to wake up so quickly, they were shocked.

Yunran couldn't hold back her tears. This was such a waste of talent!
She was truly pitiful. Not only was her fate shattered, but she was also rejected by the Heavenly Dao, and even opening the gates of hell almost cost her her life.

If it were her old body, she would be lively and energetic, with a great appetite!

With a "thud," the IV stand suddenly and unexpectedly smashed into Yun Ran's face.

Yunran: ...

Here it comes! Without any good deeds to protect you, bad luck is coming in droves! (_)~~~
This scene left Gu Yuan, who was standing to the side, dumbfounded.

Realizing what had happened, he quickly stepped forward to help the frame up, looking at the stark marks on Yun Ran's face that looked like she had been whipped.

Gu Yuan burst out laughing in a rather unkind way: "You said before that you had a bad fate, and I thought you were joking. Now it seems that you really are unlucky."

Yun Ran immediately glared at him, thinking how annoying it was that he had no sense of propriety.

Gu Yuan, who was being glared at, immediately stopped smiling and switched to sympathy in a second: "But don't worry, the Special Administration Bureau may not have much else, but it definitely has plenty of things to transport."

[Host, this guy really deserves a beating. If you'd known, you shouldn't have saved him in the first place. You should have let him be, let him keep his mouthy!"]

There aren't many people who can anger a system like Ginseng Fruit.

Fortunately, although Gu Yuan was a bit sarcastic, he was still a reliable person. As soon as he saw that Yun Ran had woken up, he immediately notified the others.

Uncle Gu arrived quickly and carefully examined Yun Ran's body, finally putting his previous worries to rest.

"It's nothing serious."

But these people really didn't treat her like an 'outsider'. Her face was still pale when they started talking to Yunran about official business.

Yunran then learned that Rong Gu had escaped despite the tight security net, and that the entire leadership of the Haicheng branch had been replaced.

This tactic of "better to kill three thousand innocent people than let one guilty person go free" made Yunran realize even more the weight of the Xie family name.

However, Yunran had little interest in these power struggles; she only cared about whether her reward had arrived. After instructing Yunran to rest well, Uncle Gu left the ward with Gu Yuan.

"Uncle, you seem to think highly of Yunran? Although the eldest young master has kept quiet, this matter has caused such a stir that the entire Xuanmen has been alarmed."

Yun Ran is the only one who hasn't revealed her sect or lineage. She even accepted the challenge from the Xiahou family. Do you think she might be the next one...?

He was Xie Xuzhi's confidant, and Yun Ran was originally recruited by Xie Xuzhi, so Gu Yuan naturally felt close to Yun Ran.

“You don’t need to test me. There are rules in the clan. Even if I think highly of her, I can’t openly go against the rules of the entire Xuanmen family.”

However, Uncle Gu understood Gu Yuan's concerns. The Xuanmen sect has never lacked geniuses; it's just that many geniuses have had their wings clipped before they could fully mature.

The previous young man he had high hopes for, despite his exceptional talent, was too ambitious and had a weak sect, which led to his defeat in the Xuanmen Grand Competition.

"The Gu family can't openly stand behind her and support her, but with Director Xie around, the Xuanmen families at least won't dare to play dirty tricks on her."

What Uncle Gu didn't say was that although the Gu family was on the Xie family's side, there were actually many people in the clan who were dissatisfied with Xie Xuzhi's intention to suppress the Xuanmen families.

Thinking of this, Uncle Gu could only sigh. If anyone was to blame, it was certain people who had gone too far back then, causing those of them who were law-abiding citizens to suffer undeserved calamities.

As Xie Xuzhi's confidant, Gu Yuan naturally understood the grudges involved.

Back then, the members of the Xuanmen aristocratic families, relying on imperial power, could get whatever they wanted.

Especially the group led by the Wanqi clan, who were single-mindedly focused on cultivating immortality. This was their own choice and did not bother anyone else.

But this group of people, who held the emperor hostage to command the feudal lords, did not follow the orthodox path of cultivating immortality at all. They not only sacrificed their own clansmen, but also caused great misfortune to those whose birth charts matched theirs.

They then set their sights on the vitality of dragon veins and other auspicious feng shui sites. If they succeed, this beautiful land will be turned into wasteland in no time.

No matter how powerful the people in the Xuanmen sect are, they are still mortals, and their numbers can never be as large as those of ordinary people.

In addition, some aristocratic families also disapproved of this perverse behavior and opposed the people led by the Wanqi clan.

In that battle, the Wanqi clan suffered the most casualties, along with those who opposed them. Most of the Xuanmen families that remain today were originally neutral members.

This leaves a major problem: there is no basis for trust between members of the Xuanmen families and the vast number of ordinary people.

The Special Administration was established at that time, and it was jointly managed by both parties.

With the country now enjoying peace and prosperity, and with information becoming more transparent and the people becoming more discerning, the voice of Taoist families is diminishing.

This has led to irreconcilable conflicts between the two sides, who already had little trust in each other.

Xie Xuzhi is now wholeheartedly supporting those without a background, precisely because the members of the Xuanmen aristocratic families are increasingly concentrating their resources, eliminating dissidents, and forming cliques.

As a member of a prominent Xuanmen family, Gu Yuan saw things more clearly than anyone else. The current situation was simply unsolvable, yet from any perspective, no one was wrong.

"Alright, Director Xie will handle this matter. You don't need to take sides. Yun Ran is a very shrewd girl, so you don't need to worry about her."
