Cannon-Fodder Heiress Turns the Tables by Fortune-Telling-Chapter 661: Just Bored Out of My Mind

The others who heard Yun Ran’s words felt as if they’d swallowed a fly, utterly stifled.

In their eyes, it was Yun Ran who stirred up trouble, and then Yun Ran who acted ’magnanimous’ in the end.

In the past, they were the ones doing such things, enjoying watching others feel aggrieved, naturally feeling delighted.

Now, they became the ones getting vexed, you can imagine how infuriated they were.

Yun Ran, however, acted as if nothing had happened, which almost made these old foxes lose their perfect facades.

Taoist Xia was also somewhat shocked by Yun Ran’s ’shamelessness’.

He had been worried that even though Yun Ran was capable, she might not know how to deal with these old foxes due to her young age.

If he wasn’t concerned, he wouldn’t have thought of bringing Yun Ran along to gain some experience so that she wouldn’t be tricked by these old foxes in the future.

Who would have imagined, Yun Ran was quite adept; she came in and first gave these people a heavy slap, then offered them some sweetness in return.

Yun Ran frankly didn’t care whether under these people’s masks, they might already want to skin her alive; she was just idly picking a fight.

Turning her head, she looked at Taoist Xia, "I do need to trouble you to introduce me to these fellow cultivators~."

Xuan Chu watched Yun Ran behaving like a stranger to Taoist Xia, treating public affairs impartially, yet again witnessing another side of Yun Ran.

He didn’t expect someone from Qingfeng Temple to not only be powerful and cunning but also well versed in worldly affairs, a veritable hexagonal warrior.

Thinking of it this way, he suddenly somewhat understood why Yun Ran previously looked down on their Heavenly Dao Village for making people ’aloof and out of touch with reality’.

Taoist Xia, upon hearing Yun Ran’s rather detached words, immediately guessed that Yun Ran was up to something, so she was distancing herself from him in advance.

If it had been earlier, he might have worried a bit, but now, naturally, he went along with Yun Ran.

After all, he also was somewhat disgruntled with these people, perhaps this was the generation gap.

"Oh dear, blame me for forgetting such an important matter."

Saying this, Taoist Xia began introducing Yun Ran to everyone one by one, Xuan Chu, of course, continued to follow by Yun Ran’s side.

Perhaps with someone as young and formidable as Yun Ran in charge, having another young person like Xuan Chu didn’t draw any more comment.

As for the other young people at the venue, seeing Yun Ran standing on equal footing with their elders, a hint of envy flashed in their eyes, and of course, some covert jealousy.

The young people who could come here were almost always the pampered juniors of their families, naturally capable.

But the family’s authority was concentrated in the elders’ hands; they didn’t know when they could hold power and enjoy the prestige Yun Ran did.

They had all heard of Yun Ran before, always feeling that for someone as young as Yun Ran to uphold the Qingfeng Temple’s reputation would not be easy.

Many had bet among their small circles on when Qingfeng Temple would become destitute.

But now, regardless of how Qingfeng Temple might turn out in the future, at present, Yun Ran was at least in the limelight.

At this moment, they couldn’t even tell whether it was better to take the reins early like Yun Ran or wait for their elders to hand over the authority later.

The former left the future uncertain, while the latter meant they would have to keep a low profile...

Yun Ran had no idea that her presence would evoke so many thoughts in these pampered young people.

After getting introduced to some of the most important individuals with Taoist Xia, she sat down directly in the seat that only the heads of families could sit in.

Previously, no, it should be said, since this exchange meeting was recorded, there hadn’t been a single woman who could sit on this intricately carved chair.

Let alone such a young woman.

Seeing Yun Ran sit down so naturally, even those with deep scheming had their expressions falter significantly.

"Since almost everyone is here, let’s all take our seats."

The crowd found their seats in twos and threes and quickly sat down, Xuan Chu sat behind Yun Ran.

Alongside Xuan Chu sat many with faces full of wrinkles; looking around, there wasn’t even a third young person in their surroundings.

Yun Ran casually glanced around, um, those young people she saw earlier were sitting in the farthest corners.

"This year’s exchange meeting, I wonder if anyone has any opinions or suggestions; although this is not an official meeting.

But the proposals at these exchange meetings could serve as a reference for our Huannan Xuan Sect Association’s annual plan..."

Taoist Xia, sitting next to Yun Ran, whispered to her, "This Great Clan Elder of the She Family is also a member of the Huannan Xuan Sect Association.

Each year’s exchange meeting can actually be seen as an informal discussion meeting; most of the proposals get adopted by the Huannan Xuan Sect Association."

Yun Ran nodded in understanding, in essence, it was equivalent to a pre-selection.

After the She Family’s Great Clan Elder finished speaking, others began to express their opinions one after another.

These opinions seemed to be for the development of the Xuan Sect, but in reality, were each family maneuvering benefits for themselves.

To put it more bluntly, these people were having a ’reasonable’ discussion over reallocating next year’s Xuan Sect resources.

Those who came here represented the families behind them.

Those with power and influence could allocate more into their bowl, while the weaker forces could only have a sip of soup.

Seeing everyone arguing until their faces were red, and even looking like there was going to be a heated physical exchange.

Yun Ran tapped the table in front of her.

At once, she drew everyone’s attention toward her.

Taoist Xia looked at Yun Ran in surprise, seemingly not quite understanding what she wanted to do.

The She Family’s Great Clan Elder naturally looked over; if others had made such a noise at this moment, he certainly would have scolded them.

But Yun Ran...

The Great Clan Elder of the She Family squinted his eyes slightly, then showed a gentle smile: "Does Master Yun have any suggestions?"

Behind Yun Ran stood Qingfeng Temple, not exactly Huannan’s power. With these words, he was obviously reminding Yun Ran not to overstep.

"As for suggestions, not particularly, but I am curious, with all the opinions mentioned earlier, none propose channeling resources to the younger generation.

Does it mean that the young juniors in your families are not up to par, unworthy of these resources, or that Huannan’s resources are not suitable for the younger juniors?"

Everyone initially thought Yun Ran wanted to meddle in Huannan’s affairs, but they never expected her to say such a thing. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

This left most of the people present looking quite displeased, at the prime of life, who would want their power to be distributed out?
