The Xuan Sect was actually the most straightforward place where strength reigned supre. If they weren’t aware that they had provoked soone who could easily kill them, then they had lived this long in vain.
Severely injured, they understood clearly in their hearts that the opponent at this mont was rely giving them a lesson, not harboring much killing intent.
If they dared to retaliate now, what awaited them was nothing but death and annihilation.
The four imdiately used the remaining sand tray to convey their intention to admit defeat and submit.
After a long while, the sand tray did not deliver another attack from the opponent, and the four slightly breathed a sigh of relief.
Anyone who had just turned around at the Ghost Gate would feel only fortunate.
Yun Ran received the other’s surrender and, grasping the other party’s lifeline, did not continue to kill them off. She patted the petals clinging to her body and returned with a brisk step.
The four Dark Masters invited by the Xiyeno Family did not know Yun Ran had already left; even though their whole bodies hurt, they did not dare to relax or show any disrespect, waiting quietly for Yun Ran’s disposition.
Another half hour passed without any movent from the sand tray, and only then did the four finally relax.
They did not dare to resent the master who could easily control their lives. Still, the hatred did not disappear—only transferred—and thus, it was the Xiyeno Family they hated.
Yun Ran went to check on Yun Jinyang, who was busy as a dog, especially watching as he didn’t even have ti to eat.
She couldn’t help but think to herself that this sure seed like advanced cattle and horses, which instantly made her demystify the identity of the elite President, finding laziness more cost-effective.
The third assistant was very diligent in bringing Yun Ran a super-sized crab and lobster feast with other seafood.
Lying on the beach chair, Yun Ran took a bite of seafood, then a sip of her drink, reaffirming, "This is the happy life."
In the days that followed, the third assistant accompanied Yun Ran on her excursions nearby, shopping until she truly experienced what it ant to be extravagantly wealthy.
Seeing that she was about to return ho, Yun Ran received a call from Xie Xuzhi.
"What did you say? You want to cooperate to complete a new mission? You’re also coming to Yinghua Country?"
This news genuinely surprised Yun Ran. What kind of matter could make Xie Xuzhi co in person when he usually presided over things from far behind the scenes?
"Can I ask..."
"No, it’s confidential!"
Yun Ran: ...
Hanging up the phone, Yun Ran rolled her eyes directly at it.
Humph, when enjoying privileges, she was absent, but when it ca to work, she was everywhere. Was this the life of being a lowly worker?
The third assistant had already packed up all the things Yun Ran had bought, just waiting to return ho.
Yun Jinyang also finally got to rest. After being busy for so many days, he was still in good spirits, truly worthy of the title "Iron Man!"
The step-siblings finally found an opportunity to have a al together.
"You haven’t gone to school in a long ti, right? When we return ho..."
Yun Jinyang was good at disrupting the atmosphere. Before the sentence was even finished, Yun Ran felt like the piece of lobster she had just eaten wouldn’t digest.
"I’m not going back with you all; I have things to do."
Interrupted, Yun Jinyang looked at Yun Ran with so confusion, seriously suspecting she was using this as an excuse to skip school.
"You’re still young, attending school is the most important thing."
"The Xie Family."
If Yun Jinyang didn’t know about her close interactions with the Xie Family, she naturally wouldn’t ntion a word. But since he knew, it served as the best cover.
Sure enough, as soon as Yun Ran ntioned the Xie Family, Yun Jinyang raised an eyebrow and then obediently kept quiet.
After the al, Yun Ran smiled and saw the Yun Family and the things she bought board the plane while she rushed to et Xie Xuzhi and his group at the place where Taoist Xia’s chartered flight had landed.
She was truly like a spinning top, never able to stop.
However, upon seeing Xie Xuzhi’s group, Yun Ran’s grumpy face imdiately turned a few degrees more ingratiating, all in the hope of getting special permission to use the chartered plane from Xie Xuzhi.
What others had, she must also have!
Gu Yuan was following behind Xie Xuzhi, waving hard at Yun Ran from afar, acting as if they were very familiar.
Xie Xuzhi glanced lightly at Gu Yuan, "You’re showing off?"
Gu Yuan: ...
Yun Ran trotted over, not giving Gu Yuan a glance, very diligently inquiring after Xie Xuzhi in every possible way.
"You’ve had a hard journey..."
If Yun Jinyang’s third assistant were present, they would surely think Yun Ran’s current behavior was very familiar.
Xie Xuzhi looked at the fawning Yun Ran, frowning slightly, "Did you take the wrong dicine?"
Yun Ran suddenly felt petrified: No way, this rare act of flattery got no respect?
Gu Yuan whispered to Yun Ran, "What’s gotten into you? That grin you just had was like a wolf grandma’s, and Director Xie is a doer..."
Yun Ran’s gaze, full of envy, fell on the not-too-distant chartered plane, practically drooling, "What do you know!"
After speaking, she quickly followed Xie Xuzhi’s footsteps, coincidentally, because she was also a doer!
No one in the group took a break. They directly boarded the special car to their destination, which puzzled Yun Ran a bit.
Xie Xuzhi naturally rode in his own car, while Yun Ran shared one with Gu Yuan.
As soon as she got in, she asked, "What’s the task about? Not only did Director Xie personally co, but it’s also so urgent."
"The head of the overseas Tan Family called the Xie Family personally, offering extrely generous terms for the Kyoto Xie Family’s direct branch to diate.
So Director Xie had to co in person this ti. Everyone who ca is truly the top echelons of the Xuan Sect to help solve a tricky matter. If I weren’t from the Gu Family, I wouldn’t be eligible to co."
"The Tan Family?"
Yun Ran suddenly had a bad premonition. Was it the Tan Family she knew?
Gu Yuan assud Yun Ran didn’t know the Tan Family and hurriedly explained.
"The Tan Family’s ancestors were an aristocratic family dostically. Two or three hundred years ago, they moved because they were purged by the royal family. They were very low-key, rarely revealing their background.
Their ancestors were related by marriage to the Four Great Families of Kyoto. If the Tan Family hadn’t encountered that purge, perhaps Kyoto would have the ’Five Great Families’ today."
With such an explanation, Yun Ran imdiately understood, aning the Tan Family’s background was no less than the Four Great Families of Kyoto, an absolute behemoth.
No wonder why Xie Xuzhi had to co personally, and among those he brought, besides Gu Yuan, there was not a single familiar face from the Special Administration Bureau.
Even without specific introductions, Yun Ran could roughly guess their identities; they were undoubtedly top experts from various Xuan Sect families who rarely erged.
Yun Ran imdiately settled down; even though she was quite competent, she wasn’t arrogant enough to think she was the best.
The car quickly arrived at their destination, and Yun Ran followed behind Gu Yuan, suppressing her own aura to the lowest level.
