Once again being so bluntly dismissed by Yun Ran, Xuan Chu wanted to say sothing but didn’t know what to say.
Usually, he only needed to grasp the big picture, and for the finer details, he would just give an order and soone specialized would handle it.
Now, without those specialized people, it indeed made him appear sowhat out of touch with reality.
However, Xuan Chu didn’t feel that Yun Ran had hurt his self-esteem; instead, he seriously reflected on it.
"You’re right. So things I may not need to do, but I must know how to do them, so I won’t be fooled in the future."
On the way to the airport, Yun Ran placed a talisman paper on Erdan to ensure it wouldn’t be detected as a living creature during the security check.
Seeing Yun Ran still holding that black umbrella in the car, Xuan Chu wisely kept his mouth shut.
Since Yun Ran did this, there must be a reason for her actions.
Perhaps it was Yun Ran’s excessive calmness, but even after arriving at the airport, though so people found the scene strange, not a single person was curious enough to ask why.
Even while sitting in first class on the airplane with the umbrella, no one inquired.
As for those taking photos in places out of Yun Ran’s sight, they found everything normal on their phones, but once shared, the images turned into mosaics, and Yun Ran didn’t care at all.
Upon arriving in Hai City, driver Old Liu was already waiting and approached them quickly when he saw Yun Ran coming out.
Originally, he intended to help with the luggage, but found both Yun Ran and Mr. Xuan, whom he had t once, were empty-handed.
"Miss, where are your bags?"
"Oh, I arranged for a moving company to send them over. Later, you’ll coordinate with them."
Old Liu promptly agreed: "Yes, Miss."
Saying that, he proceeded to open the car door for Yun Ran.
After getting into the car, Old Liu reported so important affairs, lastly ntioning the reason why Ginsengfruit didn’t co to the pickup.
Yun Ran nodded slightly; she of course knew the inside story but pretended to just find out about it.
After all, she was soul-bound with Ginsengfruit, sothing she hadn’t even fully explained to her young master uncle, let alone others who couldn’t possibly know about it.
It’s fortunate that Ginsengfruit wasn’t actually a child, otherwise just handling the matters at Qingfeng Temple would have exhausted him.
Not to ntion, he also had to oversee the entire process of arranging the coming-of-age ceremony the Yun Family was hosting for Yun Ran.
This wasn’t because Yun Jinyang wanted to be lazy, but because with Yun Ran’s change in status, the Yun Family’s attitude towards her had grown cautious.
The most critical aspects, the Yun Family simply didn’t dare to ddle with lightly.
Whether out of concern about damaging relationships with Yun Ran or to show their respect toward her.
In short, the Yun Family currently maintained a strong sense of boundaries, delegating significant affairs entirely to Yun Ran’s confidant.
Once back at Ran Mansion, Yun Ran finally felt a sense of relaxation akin to coming ho.
For Xuan Chu, it was his first ti entering Ran Mansion, and upon entering, he imdiately sensed the arrays within seemingly peaceful yet hiding endless vitality and danger.
Such contradictory arrays sparked Xuan Chu’s interest.
"Can I look around?"
Yun Ran casually waved her hand: "Feel free."
The arrays in Ran Mansion were all set up by her personally. If soone with no malice towards her inadvertently activated them, it wouldn’t cause significant troubles.
Moreover, each array was interlinked, and soone knowledgeable could even gain so insights from them.
The servants at Ran Mansion were well aware of Yun Ran’s temperant and preferences; since her return, they diligently went about their tasks without wandering unnecessarily.
The work there was easy, without random evaluations or strange whims typical of the wealthy.
Most importantly, the pay was high, and everyone cherished their jobs there greatly.
Xuan Chu looked around at the vibrant little garden, the strategically-placed glass house inviting wealth, and the heavily fortified backyard...
Even from a quick glance, Xuan Chu could tell Yun Ran had put considerable thought into arranging the place.
By observing all this, it beca obvious that Yun Ran was soone who loved life deeply.
The more he interacted with Yun Ran, the more Xuan Chu felt that she was entirely different from the Xuan Sect masters he was familiar with.
He even considered that if Yun Ran’s backlash were never resolved, forcing her to remain ordinary, she wouldn’t harbor hatred against everyone.
She would continue embracing life, finding her own joy, and living happily each day.
A person like that wouldn’t have any obsessions, much less beco soone who would bring about destruction.
Thinking this, Xuan Chu looked toward the sky.
For the first ti, he found himself questioning the intentions of the Heavenly Dao.
Could it be that just because Yun Ran was soone from the Otherworld, and this body of hers had its Life Chart taken by soone, showing a sign of early death,
that she was being feared by the Heavenly Dao as an aberrant entity?
With this thought arising, Xuan Chu’s gaze shifted again towards the main building where Yun Ran was.
He wasn’t dull-minded; Yun Ran’s openness was clearly a strategy towards him, and yet, he had still ’fallen for it’.
At this mont, Xuan Chu clearly realized that whether it was now or in the future, he could never beco Yun Ran’s enemy.
Letting out a soft sigh, Xuan Chu walked over and sat on the swing that was Yun Ran’s exclusive seat.
After making his decision, he strangely felt much lighter inside and began to enjoy this rare peaceful day with his eyes closed.
Yun Ran had no awareness that all the things she had previously done hadn’t completely eased Xuan Chu’s apprehensions.
Who would have thought that just a stroll around Ran Mansion would sway him entirely; had she known, she would’ve invited Xuan Chu over earlier.
Upon Xuan Chu’s return, whether out of restlessness or mischief, he plucked quite a few of Yun Ran’s flowers.
By the ti Yun Ran changed and ca out, the Little Papern had already gone off to play with their own toys.
As Yun Ran spotted the Little Papern happily playing with Legos and blocks, her eyes narrowed slightly.
Yet, her voice carried an icy cold tone as she spoke: "I rember, Uncle Yan, when leaving, ntioned putting you in detention!"
Yun Ran: ...
Little Papern: ...
Neither they nor Yun Ran had rembered that Uncle Yan had ordered them to be in detention upon leaving.
At this mont, Xuan Chu made them all see him as sowhat despicable.
It turns out a person’s appearance truly changes with the harshness of their words!
"If you don’t speak, no one will mistake you for a mute!"
The smile on Xuan Chu’s face remained gentle, especially seeing Yun Ran and the Little Papern sowhat caught off guard, he suddenly grasped the delight in playing the villain.
