Chapter 272: Chapter 271: Host, We’ve Made It! (Part 2)

Gu Yuan was about to leave when Zhongli Yuanjing suddenly asked, "How much of your actions towards Yun Ran are utilitarian, and how much are genuine?"

Zhongli Yuanjing is a person who values causality deeply. For this reason, he usually does not show a good face to those with poor Life Charts or those entangled in causality.

Moreover, he has no intention of changing his principles, which effectively filter out a lot of terrible people.

However, Yun Ran is an exception, not only because she saved their lives, but also because she could heroically sacrifice her already limited Merit.

As a member of the Xuan Sect, he knows better than anyone that for someone with a Heavenly Abandoned Fate like Yun Ran, who wants to live like a normal person, Merit is one of her few sources of confidence.

Yun Ran being willing to disperse all her Merit just shows how precious her character is.

Such a reliable person with a noble character, he really does not want to see the day she is completely exploited.

Gu Yuan raised his head and looked earnestly at Zhongli Yuanjing: "Yun Ran once predicted my inevitable death, and it was she, using a life-for-a-life method, who saved me.

She is also my lifesaver. In my heart, she is like a sister from another father and mother. Anyone who dares to bully her is disrespecting me.

Now, indeed, I am utilizing her gratitude toward the Zhongli Family to exchange for benefits we desire, but these benefits will bring good to many people.

Don’t look at Yun Ran’s young age, but she understands better than anyone. As long as it doesn’t harm others, I am sure she is very willing to be of use to others."

Perhaps it was because Gu Yuan was talking about Yun Ran with sincerity and clarity in his eyes.

Zhongli Yuanjing felt somewhat reassured. The capabilities of Xuanmen people are strong, he had seen too many of those who were disappointed and hurt, once a Heart Demon is born, they are beyond redemption.

"I mean no offense, I just hope the struggle for interest at the higher levels of the Special Administration Bureau, does not make Yun Ran the one who gets sacrificed."

"Of course not, Yun Ran is also my bottom line. I won’t disturb Master Zhongli any longer, I will take my leave now."

Just as Gu Yuan left, Zhonglisu returned.

Zhongli Yuanjing looked at him about to speak but stopping, and suddenly felt a twinge of melancholy.

If not for seeing a young genius like Yun Ran, he would have been satisfied with a young man like Zhonglisu.

Unfortunately, that wasn’t the case.

"Just say what you want to say."

"Uncle Grandfather, Gu Chu went to another ward, and the look on his face seemed to suggest that something was up..."

These past few days, Zhonglisu wanted to visit Yun Ran.

But with Gu Yuan around, not only did Yun Ran’s ward become an intensive care unit, but apart from him and a few other confidants, no one else could enter.

Zhongli Yuanjing glanced at Zhonglisu and said: "You want to ask if he came over because of Yun Ran, right?"

Guessed correctly, Zhonglisu had no embarrassment, though he had not spent much time with Yun Ran and even had been despised by her, often treated harshly.

But he was also worried about Yun Ran. Unfortunately, many things had been silenced by those above, and he didn’t even know the extent of Yun Ran’s injuries.

"This matter, you don’t need to worry about it. When you achieve higher status, you will naturally know."

Zhonglisu: ...

"Moreover, this training was originally meant for you to gain some credit, and then we planned to assign you somewhere else.

But now you should understand, if the strength is not enough, even places considered extremely safe by others could be deadly.

I plan to arrange for you to go back to the clan territory and train. You can start packing now, someone will come to pick you up tonight."

Zhonglisu really felt blindsided; wasn’t he here to look after the Clan Elders?

Moreover, he seemed to have just been discussing Yun Ran’s situation—how did it suddenly turn to him being sent back for further training?

"Clan Elder, I..."

"This is your grandfather’s arrangement, unanimously approved by the Clan Elders, you have no room to refuse."

Zhonglisu’s shoulders sagged, feeling truly miserable.

However, he did not have much resistance, just felt a bit stifled.

But thinking about it, if not for Yun Ran, he was afraid he wouldn’t have even left a complete corpse, and he immediately felt somewhat more motivated.

"I understand, I will go pack my belongings now."

Gu Yuan used this opportunity to sway several previously neutral, uninvolved parties to his side.

He couldn’t help but feel emotional internally, Yun Ran, truly their lucky star. In the future, anyone who still calls Yun Ran a Heavenly

Abandoned or disaster, he will be the first to disagree.

When he returned to Yun Ran’s ward, Yun Ran could clearly feel the lifted spirit in Gu Yuan, and knew she didn’t need to play dumb any longer.

"I heard Jiang Ming call you Gu Chu, did you get a promotion?"

Seeing Yun Ran deliberately changing the topic, Gu Yuan didn’t expose her.

He continued along with her words: "I suppose so, after all, my capability in handling affairs is top-notch, getting a promotion and a raise, isn’t that normal?"

Yun Ran’s eyes flickered, just about to ask if there were substantial rewards for herself.

Gu Yuan, as if reading her mind, directly said, "You’ve made great contributions this time, the boss will commend you for them.

Moreover, the documents for the restoration of Ran Mansion that you requested have been reported and approved; it is now completely yours, no one can take it away.

Those who were previously active against you have been thoroughly suppressed. In the future, as long as you don’t mess up, you should be able to live a peaceful and joyful life."

Yun Ran’s mouth gaped open, clearly surprised.

She wasn’t even an official member of the Special Administration Bureau, and yet she had such treatment? This was far more important than money.

"Of course, the financial rewards are also substantial. People from the Northwest Branch have nominated you as this year’s New Star of Xuan Sect.

Once you pass the related reviews, you will get the qualification to establish your own school; in layman’s terms, the honor of your sect can start a new Chapter with you!"

One good news after another, Yun Ran felt almost dizzy from these windfalls.

Not only was there money, but there were achievement awards, and even official honor qualifications.

Does this mean that in this literary world, without the existence of Qingfeng Temple, she could establish a new branch of Qingfeng Temple?

And she, would be the founding master of this branch!

Ginsengfruit, seeing Yun Ran nearly floating with joy, floated even more: [Host, we have made it! Hahaha, who would believe, I am actually going to be a founding Magic Artifact~~~]
