Cannon-Fodder Heiress Turns the Tables by Fortune-Telling-Chapter 205 - 204: Birds of a Feather

Yun Ran exuded an aura of "I’m honest now" all over her body at this moment.

Gu Yuan was almost the same, he could show off a bit in front of the people from the Special Administration Bureau, but now, he dared not.

The people who came this time were all someone he couldn’t afford to offend, they could make his grandfather discipline him with family rules with just a word.

As the Tan Family’s gate opened, a familiar figure appeared, and Yun Ran’s hanging heart finally fell; it really was the Tan Family she knew.

Tan Chengbi personally came out to welcome Xie Xuzhi and his group, even though Yun Ran was trying to keep a low profile.

But she could not hide the fact that she was the only woman in the group and was still very conspicuous.

Feeling the gaze upon her, Yun Ran turned her head and found herself locking eyes with Tan Chengbi.

Yun Ran wasn’t embarrassed; it was just a friend who met by chance discovering her disguise, no big deal.

After all, she had a thousand ways to make sure he couldn’t pursue it further, besides, she wasn’t the one at a loss.

With no psychological burden, Yun Ran then gave Tan Chengbi a friendly smile,

But little did she know the mental shock this caused him: Good heavens, he was suspecting whether Yun Ran was deliberately getting close to him, and now she reappeared before him in a different identity.

In formal occasions, Xie Xuzhi was like an emotionless robot; breaking the ice with small talk was not his style, and he directly went into work mode as soon as they met.

"Mr. Tan, lead the way!"

Yun Ran and Gu Yuan were left outside the conference room, because with them being the juniors, guarding the door naturally became their job.

Being a sly one, Gu Yuan leaned against the wall and poked Yun Ran’s shoulder: "You know people from the Tan Family?"

Some of the looks the Tan Family members gave Yun Ran were clearly those of acquaintances.

Yun Ran, annoyed by Gu Yuan poking her, quickly retaliated and slapped his hand that hadn’t been retracted in time.

"None of your business!"

Looking at his reddened hand, Gu Yuan gathered his composure and withdrew it: "Just a friendly concern from a colleague, no harm meant. If you don’t want to talk about it, that’s fine, it’s not like I’m dying to know."

Skeptical, Yun Ran glanced at Gu Yuan—trusting him would be a miracle; even if she didn’t say anything now, he would certainly gossip later.

She briefly explained how she met Tan Chengbi and mentioned that she had wiped out a small Evil Cultivator squad.

Gu Yuan silently gave Yun Ran a thumbs up: "Things that others won’t encounter in 800 years happen to you wherever you go—you’re more accurate than a Compass!"

If Yun Ran was a formal staff member of the Special Administration Bureau, with her speed of performing meritorious service, promotions and salary increases would be skyrocketing like riding a rocket.

"Easy for you to say, you think I like this troublesome physique? I don’t have any grand ideals like fighting against evil, supporting justice, and eradicating all Evil to fulfill." freёweɓnovel_com

Initially, she was the successor of Qingfeng Temple, other than her necessary duties, she spent her time lazing around; she was never one to endure hardship.

Currently, inside the conference room, a blocking Array was set up, preparing to start discussing the mission.

Tan Chengbi glanced at Xie Xuzhi and finally spoke up: "Can I ask a question?"

Xie Xuzhi nodded: "Of course."

"Is Yun Ran your person... Previously, my acquaintance with her, was it a coincidence?"

Xie Xuzhi was not a control freak that needed to know everything even about the leisure time of his subordinates.

Hearing Tan Chengbi’s question, he instantly got the message Tan Chengbi was trying to convey.

"Yun Ran is my direct subordinate, follows only my orders, and has no performance KPIs."

Xie Xuzhi didn’t directly answer Tan Chengbi’s question, but he clearly expressed one attitude: No need for a sledgehammer to crack a nut.

"Any other questions? If not, let’s get down to business!"

Tan Chengbi felt a bit embarrassed at that moment, also deeply feeling the gap between himself and the heir of the Xie Family.

The meeting wasn’t long; half an hour later, everyone came out.

Yun Ran and Gu Yuan who had been lazing around leaning against the wall, quickly straightened themselves.

Seeing such a scene, Xie Xuzhi once again felt the saying, "Birds of a feather flock together," made a lot of sense.

Yun Ran had no idea that at this moment she had been categorized by Xie Xuzhi as the same type as Gu Yuan, both were brash enough to start dyeing workshops with just a little color to go on.

"You two, tonight go explore the Helian Family’s underground stronghold."

"Roger that!"

In this group, Xie Xuzhi was the mastermind; the others held higher seniority, so the grunt work naturally fell to Yun Ran and Gu Yuan, else why bring them along!

Yun Ran and Gu Yuan quickly gathered their stuff and headed towards the location of the Helian Family.

Tan Chengbi initially thought he and Yun Ran were soul friends, but unexpectedly saw her in perfect sync with another young man, not knowing why his heart felt somewhat sour.

Yun Ran followed Taoist Xia’s few tricks, massaged a few acupoints on her head, and pinched here and there, her facial features soon changed.

There appeared no significant change at first glance, but a closer look made her seem like a completely different person.

"Holy smokes, are you performing a major transformation on a living person?"

Yun Ran rolled her eyes at Gu Yuan: "You think the Helian Family’s territory that forced the Tan Family to indirectly ask the Xie Family to mediate, is easy to enter? There’s definitely a formidable Xuanmen person there, no matter how we mask our aura, he would detect us.

Changing my facial structure is just a precaution, in case we are discovered, he won’t know my real identity.

I’m not ready for the Yun Family to go bankrupt yet, I can’t handle hard times at all, better to be a wealthy freeloader without worries."

Gu Yuan: ...

He had never seen anyone so arrogantly admit their desire for wealth and luxury, though everyone loves money, at least be a bit subtle about it.

But he said: "Well then, why don’t you reshape mine too? It’s not that I’m worried about exposing my identity, I’m just curious to see what I might look like."

Ginsengfruit was amused: [Host, I think, you and Gu Yuan really are a perfect match, both shamelessly alike~]

"Shut up, you’re the shameless one!"

Her hands, however, did not stop, directly reaching to Gu Yuan’s face, pinching left and right, transforming a rather handsome face into a greasy-looking young fellow.

Looking at himself in the mirror from different angles, Gu Yuan was very pleased: "This is the face from my dreams, and it matches my aura too."

He said, and even cheekily winked at his own reflection in the mirror.
