Dragon Spirit sat down with a complex expression, but his gaze at Yun Ran was clearly guarded.
"I always feel like you’re up to no good."
Yun Ran swallowed a seafood dumpling and glanced sideways, "As if you’re anything good!"
After eating her fill, Yun Ran completely ignored Dragon Spirit and planned to go out for a walk. She had finished the challenge in one day, but her little brother still hadn’t finished his.
Other people’s competitions were also in full swing, and she needed to go watch them.
When the bus arrived, the people who were originally sitting in the front rows, seeing Yun Ran standing by, imdiately scrambled to offer their seats.
"Lady Yun, please sit in the front where the view is better."
So even wiped down the already clean seat with their sleeves, their eager attitude as if Yun Ran was so sort of VIP.
Even the bus driver’s face was full of excitent; if it weren’t for his working hours, he would have rushed up to ask for an autograph.
Yun Ran nodded lightly and calmly sat in the first row.
If it were soone else, facing such vastly different treatnt, even if they were mature and composed, their mindset would still fluctuate.
But Yun Ran was completely in a ’I deserve any kind of treatnt’ posture, making those who offered their seats even more reverent.
Until Yun Ran got off, no one on the bus chatted; everyone sat quietly.
Watching Yun Ran’s figure disappear from sight, those still on the bus finally felt like they could breathe again.
"Mom, I never realized how terrifying Yun Ran’s aura was before. I almost suffocated myself just now."
"Maybe our eyes weren’t good enough before, and we didn’t notice the terror in Yun Ran?"
"Ah, we’re of the sa age, why is soone else so much better than us? Truly the ’better child’ elsewhere."
...
At this mont, these people, even when discussing, no longer had their past sense of superiority, only genuine care and caution.
When Yun Ran arrived, she saw Xin Fu being thrown out by his opponent, but the opponent seed even worse off, with his Magic Artifact shattered by Xin Fu’s sword.
"Xin Fu wins!"
Listening to the referee’s emotionless voice, Yun Ran stood at a corner and quietly watched.
The other two, struggling through yesterday’s challenge, clearly found it much harder today.
"Host, do you think they can withstand this last match?"
Seeing their obvious decline, Yun Ran could only sigh softly, "They can’t win."
Indeed, as soon as Yun Ran’s voice fell, the match of the other two also ended, and both lost.
Fortunately, their mindset was still good. Even though they lost, they did not wail or throw tantrums. They struggled to get up, bowed to their opponents, and then left the stage.
Such results were within Yun Ran’s expectations; aristocratic families like the Mystical Sects had controlled resources for so many years, it was unlikely they were ordinary.
Even Xie Xuzhi, wanting to pry resources and authority from their hands, did not use simple and crude thods, it shows that these people still had their own influence.
Ginsengfruit, small in stature, rested his hand on the railing, his tone carrying a hint of disappointnt.
"That is to say, of the dozens of final spots announced earlier, only two actually materialized. The rest were all replaced by these so-called reasonable thods."
Yun Ran gently rubbed Ginsengfruit’s head: "This is how the human world handles things, filled with lots of interpersonal subtleties. Unless there is absolute strength to forcefully change the situation, conceding is the norm."
Ginsengfruit sounded a bit muffled: "Hmm~"
"Let’s go."
Xin Fu, having finally won, managed to keep his ranking, and a trace of joy finally appeared in his eyes.
Just as Yun Ran left the competition venue, she saw Gu Yuan rushing over from a distance.
Gu Yuan’s eyes were filled with deep concern, to the point where, if not for the difference between n and won, he would even want to directly search Yun Ran’s entire body.
"Were you manipulated by Rong Gu? Are you alright?"
Without guessing, it was obvious that it must have been Dragon Spirit, the blabbermouth, who let it slip. For a mont, Yun Ran really wanted to sew that guy’s mouth shut.
"It’s just a small matter, don’t worry."
Gu Yuan knew Yun Ran was formidable, even possessing many unknown thods. But the more he knew about Yun Ran’s capabilities, the clearer it was to him that successfully cursing Yun Ran ant the damage would not be minor.
The more nonchalant Yun Ran appeared, the more anxious Gu Yuan beca.
By now, he had already furiously reprimanded those whom Xie Xuzhi had dismissed. If it weren’t for their incompetence, Rong Gu wouldn’t have escaped.
"Will this curse affect your performance later? The competitors who make it to the finals are no simple characters. Otherwise, we might as well not compete..."
Although Gu Yuan didn’t make it very clear, Yun Ran already understood his implication.
He was worried that the curse would affect her performance later, especially during the competition where a small mistake could impact the entire situation.
Yun Ran knew that Gu Yuan had essentially gambled all his resources on her winning the championship. Now, worried about her potentially losing due to the curse, he suggested she withdraw, which showed deep concern.
"Don’t worry, it won’t affect much."
Feeling Yun Ran truly wasn’t taking the curse seriously, Gu Yuan’s previously tense nerves finally relaxed sowhat.
Then he cursed angrily: "Once we’re back, if I see her, I’ll definitely not let her off easily!"
Once Gu Yuan was sure Yun Ran was genuinely fine, he hurried off again, being genuinely busy.
Yun Ran walked back leisurely. Just as she returned to the courtyard, she t the eyes of Dragon Spirit, who was lying down lazily.
Feeling guilty, Dragon Spirit shifted his gaze away, tugged at the corner of his mouth, and revealed what he thought was a friendly smile: "You’re back so soon."
Yun Ran sat down with a cold gaze, "I didn’t know that you, a Dragon Spirit, could be so gossipy, just like those old n and won in the community."
Dragon Spirit imdiately straightened up. Although he was at fault, if Yun Ran’s words were harsh and hurtful, then she was in the wrong too.
"Can you bla ? It’s all because you keep getting into trouble. I did nothing, yet I have to take the bla for you. I want to know who exactly you’ve offended, is it wrong to even ask!"
Initially feeling sowhat guilty, Dragon Spirit’s voice grew more confident and louder as he spoke.
"I’m also a mber of the Special Administration Bureau now, I have the right to know so confidential matters!"
