Cannon-Fodder Heiress Turns the Tables by Fortune-Telling-Chapter 662: Taoist Xia’s Grand Transformation (2nd Update)
If it was just some verbal disputes, they could barely maintain their demeanor as big shots, ignoring any petty grievances with Yun Ran.
However, if Yun Ran wanted to reach into their bowls and grab benefits, then she was the enemy.
Someone was indignant: "What does Master Yun mean by this, are you implying we’re hoarding resources and not letting go?"
Yun Ran went straight for the jugular, nodding: "That’s right, that’s exactly what I mean. You’ve taken most of the resources.
And then shamelessly claim that young people can’t handle things, thereby justifying your control over everything. Don’t you find that disgraceful?" 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮
The She Family’s Great Clan Elder’s expression changed slightly as he looked at the person who had previously suggested that young people should learn more.
Evidently, Yun Ran was displeased by those words and was deliberately picking a fight.
"Master Yun, you misunderstood. What the Bai Family Head meant was not that..."
"Oh? It wasn’t? Then what? Or is it, are you implying me? After all, I’m the only young one who can sit on par with you all!"
Everyone: ...
Damn it! They’ve always spoken this way, never expecting someone like Yun Ran this year, who’s specifically targeting their wording!
"Is Master Yun deliberately stirring up trouble?"
The Bai Family Head, who had previously voiced an opinion, wasn’t someone with a good temper either, and being disrespected by Yun Ran, naturally couldn’t hold back.
"Stirring up trouble is a bit much, it’s just, since you can’t bear to relinquish your power to young people, then just openly admit it.
Why say that young people can’t handle things, or that giving resources to young people, especially young women, is a waste?
If I recall correctly, every place’s Xuan Sect Association allocates a portion of resources annually specifically for young people’s training.
You greedily take these resources and then try to shift the blame; isn’t that eating someone’s food and audaciously showing it off? Who are you trying to disgust!"
In such a big exchange, there’s seldom any young women, even young people are scarce.
With such disgraceful conduct, justifying seniority arguments is one thing, but they also step on the young whose resources they’ve taken, which Yun Ran truly can’t stand.
"Master Yun, what you said is too unpleasant, what do you mean our conduct is disgraceful? The allocation of Xuan Sect resources has always been like this..."
Yun Ran’s voice suddenly rose significantly, directly interrupting the Bai Family Head’s angry defense.
"Just because it’s always been the rule, does it make it right! You all talk about seniority to divide resources, in the end, aren’t you all mediocre.
If your rules were right, then how could I be here today, sitting on par with you all!
Xuan Sect values aptitude and disposition; which family’s genius only emerges at middle age.
You people occupying so many resources to achieve your current accomplishments, that’s the real waste of resources!"
The young people sitting in the corners, hearing Yun Ran’s words, had their eyes light up. Though they weren’t the geniuses Yun Ran spoke of,
they were still young, full of vigor, and very much disliked the current seniority-based resource distribution.
Yun Ran’s words were enlightening to them, awakening a surging passion inside, this was the passionate life they once desired.
Unfortunately, even if they were favored, they still had no say in matters.
Taoist Xia was also stirred by Yun Ran’s words; he was the genius Yun Ran referred to.
Yet he could only appear under the guise of an old man to not be ostracized and to receive ’fair’ resource allocation.
Previously, though he felt some frustration, he also knew that many things couldn’t be changed by him alone.
But now, Yun Ran, just by herself, dared to blatantly expose the false harmony among these people.
Even if she had a backing, it wasn’t something she could utilize unconditionally.
In a moment of impulse, Taoist Xia directly stripped off his disguise, revealing a young and vibrant face to everyone.
Except for Yun Ran, everyone was shocked to see Taoist Xia’s ’big transformation.’
"You, you, you..."
Xuan Chu also looked at Taoist Xia in surprise, though his attention had always been on Yun Ran before, ignoring the existence of Taoist Xia.
But he had never imagined Taoist Xia would have such a secret.
"Everyone need not be surprised, I am indeed Taoist Xia, 25 years old. Previously, I appeared as an old man because,
it was too hard for young people to stand out. Even with achievements, they would be suppressed with claims that young people will have plenty of opportunities later.
They are asked to hand over their achievements to those mediocre but more senior, and if lucky, they might even have opportunities for promotion.
If unlucky, they not only have to hand over their achievements but also face suppression and have no right to speak!"
These words weren’t just nonsense from Taoist Xia. Previously, he encountered such situations but was unable to change the bigger environment.
He could only, as much as possible, use his identity as Taoist Xia to protect those suppressed talents, giving them a chance to compete fairly for what should be theirs.
Taoist Xia never expected that simply doing what was right earned him a good reputation among young talents.
Many talented and accomplished people were willing to work under Taoist Xia, knowing he wouldn’t covet their achievements.
These young people reciprocated by working diligently and earnestly.
This is why, within a few years, Taoist Xia ascended to the position of Huannan’s Special Administration Bureau’s leading figure.
Yun Ran gave Taoist Xia a thumbs up; what could be more convincing than a firsthand account from an insider?
She and Taoist Xia both slapped these people right in the face, watching them about to lose it.
Yun Ran then slowly spoke: "Although I’m not from around Huannan, as a fellow practitioner, I’d like to offer some advice.
The resources under your control, distribute them however you see fit, but as for the resources belonging to the youth, please, be generous!"
Although this wasn’t exactly offering them a sweet deal, it wasn’t completely tearing down the facade either.
She didn’t make any unreasonable demands, just that they allocate the resources according to their rightful ownership.
The She Family’s Great Clan Elder looked at Yun Ran, then at Taoist Xia who’d returned to his true form, calculating rapidly in his mind.
If it were only Yun Ran, it could be said she was overstepping, but now, with Taoist Xia in the mix...
A few seconds later, the She Family’s Great Clan Elder nodded: "Master Yun speaks reasonably, what do the rest of you think?"
