Chapter 95: 94 Mediocrity Does Not Attract Envy (2 more updates)

Although Yun Ran was in excruciating pain, thinking that her opponent was more severely injured provided her some solace.

Those three flags were one of the Blind Girl’s life-saving measures. Destroyed by the Heavenly Thunder, her cultivation was at least halved. Without several years of secluded recovery, she wouldn’t get better.

Yun Ran was sent to the Special Administration Bureau’s internal hospital. Fortunately, most of her injuries were superficial and didn’t affect her foundation.

Seeing Xie Xuzhi appear, Yun Ran was somewhat surprised and even wanted to ask if the top executives of the Special Administration Bureau were always this free.

"I really didn’t expect you to be such a troublemaker; it’s only your first day at school, and you’ve already become a celebrity and a rich lady there, and now you’ve ended up like this."

Though Xie Xuzhi sounded serious, Yun Ran felt there was a hint of sarcasm in his tone.

"Ah, unenviable mediocrity is incompetence. I can’t help it; I’m too excellent, and jealousy follows me everywhere."

It seemed Xie Xuzhi had become immune to Yun Ran’s thick-skinned comments.

If he hadn’t heard that Yun Ran fought a highly talented Blind Girl, he wouldn’t have wasted his rest time being here.

"By the way, my family’s car and driver..."

"Are you doubting the Special Administration Bureau’s ability to handle matters?"

Yun Ran: ...

Well, the Special Administration Bureau had provided her services for free, and she was still asking many questions; indeed, she deserved some scolding.

"Did you get a clear look at that Blind Girl?"

Yun Ran nodded and then signaled for Xie Xuzhi to grab her bag with the dirty clothes.

"While I was entangled with her, I took her picture. This woman’s talent is probably even greater than mine. Your people should avoid confronting her directly in the future."

Xie Xuzhi didn’t mind Yun Ran bossing him around and directly pulled out the phone,

Yun Ran unlocked it with a standard eight-toothed smile.

He finally saw what the Blind Girl looked like; she seemed to be in her early thirties at most.

Just seeing the Blind Girl made Xie Xuzhi feel somewhat uneasy.

His Life Chart was unusual; to outsiders, he was a natural disaster, and anyone who came close would meet a bad end.

But there were few who could make him feel uncomfortable, anyone brought forth could easily stir up trouble.

"Forget about the rest and focus on healing."

Watching Xie Xuzhi’s departing figure, Yun Ran felt for the first time that having someone to clean up after her mess was quite nice.

On her end, she comfortably had a good night’s sleep.

But for other involved parties, it wasn’t as easy.

Yun Jinyang had intended to find a time to talk properly with Yun Ran, only to be informed that she had been invited by Lady Xie and wouldn’t be returning soon.

At that moment, Yun Jinyang felt his heart skip a beat, along with a sense of inevitability settling in.

He had always wondered who the Noble backing Yun Ran was, thinking of countless people but never suspecting the Xie Family.

Yun Ran’s Xuan Sect techniques, along with her ghostly agility, suddenly all made sense.

But the status of the Xie Family was too high, even if the inviting Lady Xie was just a collateral branch of the Xie Family, it awed Yun Jinyang with a feeling of reverence.

Yun Jinyang, who never knew what inferiority felt like, now seemed to grasp that sensation.

That night, he barely slept, worrying whether Yun Ran might displease the Xie Family members.

Then, he silently contemplated in his heart, what the Yun Family could offer, hoping to impress the Xie Family enough for an alliance.

Sometimes, to win favor from a Noble, not only opportunity is needed, but considerable strength as well; otherwise, even given the chance, one might not grasp it.

The injured Blind Girl, Rong Gu, dragged her wounded body back to the villa arranged by Si Tong.

This was Si Tong’s private property, hence very few knew about this place, and there were no servants around.

Si Tong nervously awaited Rong Gu’s return and upon hearing movements, saw Rong Gu’s face turning pale blue.

This had never happened before, making Si Tong’s anxiety even more pronounced.

Her heart raced: "Rong Gu, you’re injured!"

Rong Gu’s eyes, originally dull, looked horrifying with blood-tears shed during their altercation.

"I need to heal. I’ll need some herbs. Could you please arrange them, President Si?"

Si Tong, ruthless and irritable with others, was like a meek rabbit in front of Rong Gu, daring not to refuse.

"Yes, yes, I’ll prepare them right away."

Rong Gu quickly listed the herbs she needed.

The Si Family, being the wealthiest in Hai City, had deep pockets. Still, the list of herbs Rong Gu needed made Si Tong gulp, totaling over a billion in value.

But Si Tong dared not refuse.

Watching Si Tong’s retreating figure, a cold glint flashed in Rong Gu’s emotionally empty eyes.

If not for her brother’s insufficient Talent needing ample Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, they wouldn’t have accepted support from the Si Family.

Now that her brother had died due to the Si Family’s grudge, she initially intended to have Si Tong compensate for her brother’s life. freēwēbηovel.c૦m

But now, severely wounded, killing Si Tong would be easy.

However, she needed to heal and find a way to protectively summon her brother’s soul; she couldn’t do it without the Si Family’s resources, meaning the real culprits had to live a bit longer.

Rong Gu touched her chest, looking at the fading tattoos on her arm, her demeanor exceptionally somber.

Ever since she had found an old Taoist being chased to his death in her childhood and obtained his books, she’d never been disadvantaged.

All who hurt her siblings met bad ends, and they just wanted to live peacefully.

While Yun Ran envied Rong Gu’s Talent, Rong Gu envied Yun Ran’s good fortune, high cultivation, and the Magic Artifact capable of countering Heavenly Thunder.

If only she had such a Magic Artifact, they wouldn’t need to hide for so many years.

Rong Gu’s information soon appeared on Xie Xuzhi’s desk. However, the details were scant.

Combining Yun Ran’s description, the traces left at their confrontation site by Special Administration Bureau personnel, and those two small flags,

Xie Xuzhi was convinced that this woman named Shi Rong was likely the mysterious expert who had previously killed several Special Administration Bureau agents.

Since Yun Ran suspected this woman was a high-profile expert nurtured by the Si Family, Xie Xuzhi naturally wouldn’t overlook this lead.
