Chapter 70: 69 One ring buckles another tactic
"But you’re really not the principal’s daughter, I’m just telling the truth."
Du Qianqian truly hadn’t expected that Yun Ran would feel no shame at all, and instantly her face flushed with anger.
Yun Ran was not small in stature, and Du Qianqian did not dare to rush up and fight her, so she could only resort to using venomous words to attack.
"You are indeed as the rumors describe, selfish and venomous; a drag is a drag, all your thoughts are spent on scheming."
Not only was Yun Ran not angry, but she also adjusted her sitting posture, with one hand propping up her chin, the posture clearly expressing one thing: keep scolding, I’m listening!
Du Qianqian had never seen someone as shameless as Yun Ran; those tactics she thought were bullying now seemed exceptionally childish.
"Just you wait!"
Watching Du Qianqian storm off in a rage, Yun Ran bowed her head and began eating as if she treated the incident just discovered as an unimportant interlude.
At 10:10, music promptly started playing within the villa; Yun Ran sat in a corner, watching the arriving guests, all eyes focused toward the main building.
The principal had chosen this time specifically, symbolizing perfection, this was his best blessing as a father to his children.
Although a bit far away, Yun Ran could still clearly see the principal holding a child by hand, emerging from the main door, his face full of loving smiles.
Those two children, although a bit nervous, it wasn’t hard to see from their eyes that they were indeed happy.
"Thank you all, my old friends, for attending my son’s recognition banquet. This is my eldest son, Du Xi, and this is my younger son, Du Lin..."
Suddenly, the principal’s voice was interrupted. A man dressed as a waiter, with a knife in hand, charged towards them, stabbing at the trio.
The guests were shocked by this sudden change, screams erupted, the principal’s face turned grim, instinctively using his own back to shield the two children.
The servants by the principal’s side reacted in time, picking up a nearby decoration and throwing it, which was not very effective.
With a "bang", a person next to Xie Xuzhi directly shot the waiter in the forehead.
But oddly, the waiter did not fall, nor did he stop his attack on the principal and his sons. Dark lines started to appear on his face,
Gunshots echoed, and the surrounding guests began to scatter fleeing, and a few more waiters rushed out, stabbing anyone they saw, indiscriminately attacking everyone.
What had been a prosperous scene just moments ago had turned into a disaster.
The men brought by Xie Xuzhi had very ugly expressions; they clearly realized something was wrong with these people. A lot of bullets had been fired, but they still could not stop the eerie waiters’ advance.
All of this happened in just a few short seconds.
Yun Ran should have acted immediately, but she hadn’t expected that beneath this villa lay a Destruction Spirit Array.
Once the array was activated, all life within it must die, especially after blood was seen; it operated even faster.
The higher someone’s Dao progress, the faster the life force faded. In just these few seconds, Yun Ran even felt as though she was about to be hollowed out.
In her ears, she could still hear Old Turtle’s screams: "Save... save me!"
Yun Ran drew her Peach Wood Sword and cleaved the artificial hill, which was originally a Fengshui Eye, forcibly breaking an opening in the Destruction Spirit Array.
The Peach Wood Sword seemed to come alive; once an opening was made, it immediately flew towards those waiters.
To the onlookers, it appeared as a line streaking through the air, after which those indestructible waiters, who had even injured people before, collapsed to the ground like broken ragdolls.
The crisis was temporarily resolved, but Yun Ran fell weakly to the ground, her face as pale as if it had been coated with a layer of white paint.
Large beads of sweat streamed down her cheeks, making it seem as though she might collapse at any moment.
Ginsengfruit was extremely anxious: [Host, are you alright?]
"It’s nothing, just feeling a bit weak."
Saying this, Yun Ran took a nondescript little bottle out of her puffy-skirt pocket and shook out three pills.
But the look in her eyes was full of distress. Not only had her ship capsized in the gutter, but now she even had to use the life-saving items her master left her.
She had refused to eat them earlier despite being backlashed, but now, Yun Ran was truly angered!
After swallowing the three pills, the paleness on Yun Ran’s face instantly gave way to a healthy glow, and even the injuries from the backlash healed in an instant.
The Peach Wood Sword then flew back into Yun Ran’s hand.
The huge noise made when the artificial hill was destroyed naturally could not be concealed.
Xie Xuzhi’s men had temporarily contained the situation, but today’s events were a severe slap in the face for him as the deputy director of the Special Administration Bureau.
Seeing Yun Ran holding a sinister Peach Wood Sword, his face looked calm, but his voice was as cold as ice: "Do you know who these people are?"
"These pieces should all be Puppets. I should have realized something was off about them from the start, but I hadn’t thought that these people had no trace of karma.
It must be that from the time they were fetuses, someone took control of their originating essence. Hence, unless they expose themselves, even those with advanced Dao progress could not easily detect them.
Below this ground, a Destruction Spirit Array was buried, and someone in this villa cleverly concealed it with a Fengshui formation.
The Destruction Spirit Array was activated, and all lives within it had no way to escape. I had no choice but to forcibly break an opening immediately."
Speaking up to this point, Yun Ran’s expression was also very ugly. This sequence of events was eerily similar to the methods used against the original host in the past.
When she saw these people move to kill the principal and his two sons, Yun Ran already understood what the person behind the scenes wanted.
The principal’s two children had been marked by someone for a long time, but they didn’t target the children directly. Instead, they had the grandmother act to swap their destinies.
Even in tormenting the children, those people didn’t intervene directly, choosing instead to let inherently immoral individuals raise them.
From a young age, these children suffered immensely, accumulating resentment and hostility. The Qi Fortune that was rightfully theirs would gradually dissipate.
Until their Qi Fortune had been completely drained, then eventually, they would be killed. Such victims of Great Luck carry far greater hostility than ordinary people.
Because she intervened, letting the children return prematurely, their Qi Fortune had not been completely drained yet.
Moreover, since both individuals were originally fragile and timid, carrying not a trace of karma on them, Yun Ran had overlooked that their calamity was not as simple as being switched by a selfish grandmother.
