The man’s eyes reddened, every past event now transford into a heavy hamr brutally striking at his heart.
He once was deeply mired in it, only filled with sheer exhaustion and had no ti to grieve. Now, looking back, those monts of being mistreated made him unable to resist covering his face and sobbing uncontrollably.
Yun Ran kindly pulled out a few tissues for him, and just watched a grown man cry in front of her stall.
People around: ...
They were genuinely curious how a young girl could remain so composed while handing out tissues.
Old Liu was a tough, iron-blooded man, used to blood not tears. Seeing the man crying like this, even his usually expressionless face showed a complex look.
He cursed inwardly at that family, deeming them utterly despicable for tornting a person like this.
After a good while, the crying subdued, and the man’s suppressed grievances were completely vented, making him look much more spirited.
"Master, I apologize for making a scene."
Yun Ran waved her hand indifferently: "Humans are creatures of emotion. It’s normal to laugh when happy and cry when sad.
Although you’ve had so misfortune, there are many people who still care about you.
Those friends who saved you in tis of trouble, the partners who fought for your benefits, and those strangers who offered you much assistance."
The man understood Yun Ran’s words, and the suicidal thoughts spawned from despair were completely dispelled.
"Master, you’re right. Life is long, and troubles are many. Most of it was being stubborn."
Hearing this, Yun Ran was satisfied, feeling her efforts to dispel his Heart Demon were not in vain.
"Once you stand up for yourself, you can resolve your dilemma. Those people were rely exploiting their so-called relationship with you."
Right now, the man’s mind was incredibly clear. From a temp distributing flyers to eventually outperforming nurous returnees to beco a sales manager, he was certainly no fool.
He was well aware of the fatal weaknesses of those people; previously he always thought of covering for them, but now these weaknesses beca his weapons to fight back.
Yun Ran added: "In the coming days, do not casually eat anything given by others. As long as you safely get through these days, your future is boundlessly promising."
The man stood up, his eyes no longer clouded, and deeply bowed to Yun Ran: "Thank you for your guidance."
As he turned to leave, Yun Ran’s complexion turned a shade paler.
The malice from the Heavenly Dao deepened, giving Yun Ran a feeling of oppression and shortness of breath.
Previously, even if she had revealed soone’s Life and Death Tribulation, such karma was nothing more than light rain to her and wouldn’t affect her at all.
But ever since she was backlash last ti, Yun Ran’s injuries had not healed, and now the Heavenly Dao seized the chance to ’punish’ her.
Yun Ran’s discomfort was noticed by Ginsengfruit, who asked worriedly: [Host, did you just see his Life and Death Tribulation?]
"Yes, based on his destined visage, today was supposed to be his day to attempt suicide by jumping into the river. But he t , I broke his Heart Demon, and made him give up that thought.
Yet, a Life and Death Tribulation is not so easily overco. He will soon be drugged by soone, and if he cannot escape, he will et a dead end."
Onlookers soon dispersed.
Yun Ran gently leaned her head against a protruding stone behind her, easing her discomfort.
Old Liu thought Yun Ran was just tired and needed to rest, so he hurriedly fetched a beaded curtain, hanging it at the edge of the sunshade.
It allowed so outside scenes to be seen while blocking so of the views from outside observers.
[Host, this driver is really considerate, nearly on par with your forr disciples!]
Yun Ran was seemingly resting with her eyes closed, but she was actually just performing Breathing Control; she was aware of everything happening around her.
With the beaded curtain in place, Yun Ran straightforwardly sat cross-legged for ditation, even though this place was not a geomantic treasure site.
But since it was close to the City God Temple, there was so scattered Power of Faith outside which was better than nothing.
After a long while, Yun Ran finally opened her eyes, and the discomfort due to being ’punished’ finally dispersed.
Old Liu was very conscientious in standing guard outside, making Yun Ran feel a bit reluctant to let him continue.
"Old Liu, go and rest for a while."
"Miss, I am fine."
Though he stepped back, physically he was quite healthy which was why he was heavily hired by the Yun Family.
Not to ntion just standing; even if he had to stand for a whole day and night, he would be fine.
Yun Ran smiled: "There’s nothing dangerous here, you don’t need to be too vigilant, go rest."
Although Old Liu really wanted to show his reliability, the number one principle in the Yun Family was to understand human speech.
"Okay, miss."
After speaking, he also left a button in front of Yun Ran: "Press this button, and I will co over imdiately."
Yun Ran nodded, then watched as Old Liu left and returned to the parking area.
Of course, he took down the beaded curtain before he left.
Just then, several foreigners approached Yun Ran’s stall, obviously tourists, though it was unclear how they ended up here.
"Wow, such a young witch!"
Yun Ran: ...
She, the rightful heir of Qingfeng Temple, a witch since when!!!
However, seeing their excited faces, Yun Ran knew they had no ill intentions, and thus did not give them a cold stare.
"Great Witch, do you take disciples?"
Now Yun Ran was completely speechless; even if she was to take disciples, she wouldn’t choose people who seed foolish.
"No!"
The foreigners imdiately showed a look of regret; they had heard many mythological tales, which was why they were so interested.
Until one of them saw the prices on Yun Ran’s signboard and exclaid: "2000 yuan!"
They had been in Hai City for a while and knew the local prices; this was clearly not cheap.
But instead of being scared off, they seed even more eager to try; they might not know much, but they understood the logic that more expensive things tend to be better.
"Great Witch, do you have Divine Skills? Like the immortals on TV with whooshing Spells..."
Yun Ran now realized these few silly geese had probably been poisoned by so mythological TV shows, with their heads full of immortals and Spells.
"I am not a witch; you can call master. Also, I don’t perform Divine Skills, I only do fortune-telling."
This street was quite crowded to begin with, and now with several foreigners surrounding Yun Ran’s stall, many people turned to look curiously.
