Chapter 467: Chapter 466: Ruthless to the Core
Xuan Chu’s gaze was too conspicuous, making it impossible for Yun Ran to ignore.
"Why are you looking at me like that? I always feel that whatever you’re thinking about isn’t anything good!"
Looking at Yun Ran’s glaring expression of ’if he has any tricks, he’s doomed’.
Xuan Chu decisively changed the subject, "Who do you think tore Xu Wen’s life chart and stole it?"
If Xu Wen’s life chart hadn’t been stolen, with his talent, maybe he could really touch the ceiling of enlightenment.
Hearing this question, Yun Ran was speechless for a moment and glanced at Xuan Chu.
"I feel like the people from Heavenly Dao Village are not only indifferent and distant but also rather foolish!"
Otherwise, they wouldn’t ask such a low-level question.
But Yun Ran obviously didn’t realize this was Xuan Chu deliberately shifting the topic.
Even though Yun Ran was disdainful, Xuan Chu didn’t mind; what’s important is he didn’t think there was anything wrong with Yun Ran’s description.
People from Heavenly Dao Village are actually more like those who follow the path of indifference, only adhering to the will of the Heavenly Dao.
In simpler terms, they are just ice-cold executors.
"So, you mean, you know already?"
"The mastermind may not be easy to investigate, but finding the perpetrator isn’t that difficult. It must be someone close, motivated by nothing but profit or revenge.
Back then, when my life chart was stolen, one of the accomplices was my biological mother. Despite being used, she also gained from it.
As long as there are people, there will be schemes. Putting in such great effort to bring down a favored child of heaven certainly isn’t just to play.
To know who acted, investigate who among those close benefited the most, or whether there is a life-and-death enemy, and you can narrow down the scope.
However, to have schemed against Xu Wen and his gang, ensuring none of them had a good outcome, shows the mastermind is ruthless.
It seems the participants are unlikely to enjoy their victory spoils."
This topic should actually end here.
But Xuan Chu suddenly felt an urge to know, if it were Yun Ran being schemed against, what she would do.
"If, and I mean if, you were Xu Wen, how would you handle it?"
Yun Ran spread her hands, "This question doesn’t exist for me."
This, on the contrary, piqued Xuan Chu’s curiosity more and more.
If it were before, Xuan Chu would definitely think Yun Ran was bragging.
With a background like Xu Wen’s and such talent, he was schemed against like this, so why would Yun Ran dare say she wouldn’t be schemed against.
"You’re very curious?"
Xuan Chu hurriedly nodded.
Yun Ran immediately laughed. After getting familiar with Xuan Chu, she realized this person, apart from being a bit stubborn, did have his merits.
At least, she didn’t dislike him and was naturally willing to speak a few more words.
"Of course, it’s because, deep down, I’m a ruthless person. There’s no person, and no matter that can manipulate me.
For me, once I decide on something important, I never regret my decisions, even if guilty, I’ll stick to my path.
It’s said that kindness doesn’t lead armies, and righteousness doesn’t manage wealth—a leader, if unable to firmly uphold choices made, falls into indecision.
No matter the outcome, it’s self-inflicted. The saying ’character determines fate’ is certainly not exaggerated."
Although Yun Ran said these words with a sweet smile, Xuan Chu sensed the underlying murderous aura.
Thinking about what Yun Ran had done before, even daring to contract with a Dragon Spirit, recklessly activating the Coiling Dragon Formation...
Xuan Chu suddenly understood why the Heavenly Dao deemed Yun Ran dangerous, even forewarned she might be a harbinger of destruction.
At this moment, he felt lucky that Yun Ran’s sect belonged to the Righteous Path and had placed prohibitions on her; otherwise, he believed he couldn’t defend himself against someone like Yun Ran.
Xuan Chu immediately showed what he thought was a friendly smile, "Ah, so that’s how it is, pretty good, pretty good."
As the atmosphere was somewhat tense.
Suddenly, both their gazes simultaneously shifted in the same direction.
"Seems like not everyone at the Special Administration Bureau Headquarters is useless; they arrived quickly, and their methods to purify death energy and evil energy aren’t bad."
Yun Ran just glanced then withdrew her gaze. Those methods were ’sold’ by her, so naturally, they weren’t bad.
Yun Ran still didn’t know at this time; there were two groups arriving in the mountains, led by people she was familiar with.
Gu Yuan, dressed like a bear, listened to the phone’s relentless notification that it couldn’t connect, sighed, and put the phone away.
Looking around, all he saw was death energy and evil energy, glaring fiercely at the Northeast Branch people who had followed.
"Look what you’ve done; if you’d reported earlier, this death energy and evil energy wouldn’t have spread so wide.
The manpower and resources consumed now are not small; these costs will be deducted from your Northeast Branch’s annual budget later!"
The people from the Northeast Branch, cursed by Gu Yuan, were like grandsons, yet none dared to refute.
Now, with everyone sharing the blame, it’s better than someone being singled out as the scapegoat.
Soon, someone rushed over from a distance: "Gu Chu, we’ve made contact with the Thunderbolt Team, but they don’t know Lady Yun’s exact location..."
Gu Yuan heard this and felt a surge of frustration.
This matter originally didn’t need his intervention.
But thinking of Yun Ran suffering in such a freezing place, caused by the inaction of these Northeast Branch people, he felt furious.
So, he directly grabbed the original team leader’s position and came personally.
Seeing the situation was far worse than he imagined, Gu Yuan felt even more worried.
"Gu Chu, you shouldn’t worry too much; Lady Yun is quite capable, and also, Mr. Xie has sent people here, so there won’t be any problems."
Those who followed Gu Yuan were naturally Xie Xuzhi’s confidants.
They were quite familiar with Yun Ran, and their words weren’t just for comfort.
Gu Yuan furrowed his brows, his gaze faraway, "Of course, I know her skills, but I still can’t help worrying; Ranran is just a young girl after all."
The subordinates weren’t surprised, seeing Gu Yuan like this.
Those belonging to this faction knew, in Gu Chu’s heart, Yun Ran’s importance was nearly equal to the Mr.
The other group, sneaky, avoided the route taken by the Special Administration Bureau people, wrapped tightly, making it impossible to see what they looked like.
