Chapter 293: Chapter 292: Thousand-Mile Escape Talisman

"Host...host, how did this guy catch up to us? It’s over, it’s over, uh..."

Ginsengfruit got so scared by the scene that he hiccupped, cursing his too keen eyesight!

Yun Ran looked at the Heavenly Destiny Guardian who had been staring at her from a distance, her facial expressions changing over and over. It took her a while before she finally sighed softly.

Her gaze then turned to the distance, carrying a hint of determination.

She didn’t believe that she couldn’t handle the odd-tempered powerful ancestors from Qingfeng Temple.

Now she herself was out to charm, and this guy was really clinging to her like a vindictive ghost!

"Stop the car!"

The driver slammed on the brakes. Although they had not yet reached their destination, when the Golden Master said to stop, he stopped.

Xuan Chu had only planned to keep an eye on Yun Ran from afar. As long as Yun Ran did not disrupt the order of this world, he wouldn’t even utter an extra word to her.

But now, seeing the car stop and Yun Ran actually heading in his direction, Xuan Chu slightly frowned but ultimately chose not to avoid her and stood there waiting for her to approach.

As Yun Ran got closer, she saw the clothes worn by this Heavenly Destiny Guardian she dreaded were indeed retaining the aura of high-level talismans.

She could draw talismans in the air with her blood, which was already heaven-defying, and now she saw someone had turned talismans into treasure clothes.

"Thousand-Mile Escape Talisman!!! No wonder you caught up to my car so fast, you’re really splurging~"

Others would use such last-resort life-saving measures as a tool for travel; Yun Ran was genuinely feeling sour.

Watching Yun Ran’s changing expressions and hearing the sourness in her tone, Xuan Chu remained unshaken.

"I heard before that Heavenly Destiny Guardians, just like those who cultivate the heartless path, have no desires, no love, no sorrow, no joy. Now it seems to be true; your face is as expressionless as someone with facial paralysis.

"My name is Xuan Chu."

Yun Ran paused. She had said so much, and he just coolly stated his name.

She couldn’t help but pout inwardly; he really was as difficult to communicate with as an iceberg.

But it’s okay, as long as he doesn’t target her, she has plenty of time to wear him down.

"Why are you following me! Didn’t you already figure out that I was framed? Besides, I am protected by Merit; even if you are a Heavenly Destiny Guardian, you can’t do anything to me!"

"You have the ability to bring disaster to the world; I shall keep an eye on you."

Yun Ran: ...

This was just disguised surveillance.

Yun Ran couldn’t help but laugh out of irritation: "Seriously, what did I do, are you Heavenly Destiny Guardians sick or what!!!"

Seeing Yun Ran get extremely agitated, Xuan Chu remained impassive: "Human desires can change in an instant. No one can guarantee that those who have led a life of kindness will never harbor vengeful thoughts.

"My existence is to prevent you from having the chance to bring disaster in your darker moments. If you truly have confidence in yourself, one more pair of eyes watching shouldn’t matter."

Usually the one to leave others speechless, Yun Ran was cornered by Xuan Chu’s words and found herself unable to retort.

Finally, Yun Ran could only grind her teeth and say: "Fine, if you want to follow, then follow!"

Ginsengfruit quickly caught up with Yun Ran, glancing back at Xuan Chu who stood motionless and felt even more that he had no human warmth.

After getting back in the car, Ginsengfruit quietly spoke in System’s voice: [Host, don’t you think his cold and abstinent aura has gotten stronger?]

"He’s now cloaked in a Heavenly Dao Restriction, treats everything indifferently, devoid of sorrow or joy. Simply put, he’s a heartless lunatic!"

Being followed by such single-minded people, Yun Ran had no choice but to out of sight, out of mind.

However, letting it be was not an option, as no one likes living under someone else’s surveillance, which is too suffocating.

The mood for leisure was ruined, so Yun Ran immediately called Gu Yuan.

Most of the issues at the Northwest Branch had been handled, taking much less time than anticipated.

Gu Yuan was pleasantly surprised to see a call from Yun Ran and quickly answered.

Yun Ran’s voice through the phone was somewhat cold: "Is there anything else needed from me here in the Northwest? If not, I’m heading straight back to Hai City."

Almost instantly, Gu Yuan affirmed that Yun Ran must have encountered some annoying issues.

"What happened?"

Yun Ran ultimately didn’t mention being followed by the Heavenly Destiny Guardian, which wasn’t good news.

"Nothing, just want to go back."

Gu Yuan didn’t pry further. He knew very well what kind of person Yun Ran was.

For things she didn’t want to talk about, no one could force her. He still had a sense of boundaries.

"Alright, things here are almost wrapped up. I’ll arrange a private jet for you..."

"No need, I’ll go back myself."

Not even interested in taking advantage, Gu Yuan was even more certain that whatever was troubling Yun Ran was pretty serious.

Having the driver take her to the nearest airport, Yun Ran’s gaze turned out the window. Xuan Chu was standing still, yet his eyes were firmly fixed on her.

"Annoying!"

After saying that, Yun Ran pulled the car window curtains down.

It was the first time Ginsengfruit saw Yun Ran so irritated; he who always snacked non-stop, now fell into a rare silence.

When night fell, Yun Ran finally made it to the airport. Ginsengfruit followed her, but the people around seemed to completely ignore his presence.

It wasn’t until Yun Ran bought two first-class seats.

When she went to exchange her boarding pass, a curious airport staff member asked, "Ma’am, are you sure you want two seats for yourself?"

Ginsengfruit didn’t have any identification and could only use his ’Passerby A’ function.

Even if Ginsengfruit walked past them, they wouldn’t notice his existence.

"Can’t I buy two seats? I don’t like having someone sit next to me."

Staff: ...

Alright then, wealthy people’s quirks, let it be.

Then, maintaining a professional smile: "Okay, ma’am, I’ll process that for you now."

After getting her boarding pass, Yun Ran turned and saw Xuan Chu standing at the airport entrance, like a mascot, drawing the curious gazes of passersby and even whispering among themselves.

"Is this guy cosplaying? He’s so handsome."

"Did you guys feel that he’s radiating a chill? It feels like the temperature around him would drop several degrees.

It’s like a real-life rendition of a novel scene when a domineering CEO gets angry; everyone around can feel the coldness."

"I really want to ask for his number; it’d be even better if I could add him on WeChat."
