Cannon-Fodder Heiress Turns the Tables by Fortune-Telling-Chapter 840 - 838: The Heavenly Dao Was Set Up

Yun Ran nearly rushed over to give the White Tiger a smack. Why didn’t it speak up earlier when it knew the clues!

The White Tiger met Yun Ran’s gaze, and somehow, it seemed to understand the meaning within Yun Ran’s eyes.

Its front paw slightly trembled, clearly frightened, and it was physiological, uncontrollable fear.

The White Tiger couldn’t understand why it was so afraid of this woman before it.

To avoid being drawn by this emotion, the White Tiger silently shifted its gaze, as long as it didn’t meet her eyes, it wouldn’t be so scared.

Instantly, it directed its eyes straight at Xie Xuzhi.

Even though it was imprisoned for hundreds of years, the Demon King’s intuition was still sharp.

Among a group of people, it accurately picked out the ’weakest’ one among them.

If this were in usual circumstances, Yun Ran would surely argue with the White Tiger about why it was answering another person when she was the one questioning!

But right now, as long as it spoke, it was fine.

She was mistaken before, thinking it was the Demon King’s offspring, not realizing it was the Demon King himself.

So she magnanimously gave it a bit of face.

Even though the White Tiger was looking at Xie Xuzhi, its eyes still glanced at Yun Ran.

Seeing Yun Ran had no reaction, the White Tiger immediately understood its previous probing was effective.

Its paw stopped trembling, and its heart calmed down.

It even had extra leisure to adjust itself to a comfortable lying position.

The young master watched quietly from the side, noticing the White Tiger’s behavior resembling Yun Ran’s ’taking inch for mile’ ways.

For a moment, even the way it looked at the White Tiger became much more lenient.

If the White Tiger knew its instinctive posturing had such an effect, it might have regretted not using these little tactics sooner.

Xie Xuzhi, among the few sharp-minded individuals, though the White Tiger was the Demon King, had already clearly seen its tricks laid bare.

Therefore, he was not worried about the White Tiger ignoring Yun Ran and the young master.

He casually and blandly said, "Speak!"

The White Tiger suddenly dropped a bombshell, "I seem to heard someone talk about masters and substituting Divine Status.

The rest...you know, I’ve been trapped here, often in a haze..."

Yun Ran hadn’t fully processed this information yet, but the young master swiftly connected the dots.

"I see!"

Previously, the young master’s attitude was rather calm, but now...

If what the White Tiger heard was true, without any lies, then he had to help Yun Ran seize the Demon-locking Tower.

Yun Ran hadn’t heard the young master speak in such an eager tone for many years.

She spoke somewhat uneasily, "Young master..."

When she was younger, she didn’t understand what this emotion meant when the young master showed it.

Later, she learned whenever the young master was about to do something big, he’d be like this.

It meant a large number of people would be implicated, and worse, entire clans might suffer.

At the same time, she also couldn’t escape a fate of being enslaved.

The young master didn’t directly soothe Yun Ran’s unease but changed the topic.

"Your Life Chart being replaced is probably just part of it."

For the Heavenly Dao to abandon someone like this, it seems the experimentation has mostly succeeded.

This is not like drawing talismans or refining artifacts, where a bit of talent and random practice might lead to success.

This requires many Children of Destiny, or people with ancestral merit protection as materials.

Over these hundreds of years, the young master dared not imagine how many people had been cruelly killed by these Evil Cultivators’ means.

Being one who had seen all the world, after understanding this filth, he felt an intense anger inside.

The young master had hinted enough, if Yun Ran still didn’t catch on to this involvement, she couldn’t assume the position of the Young Master of Qingfeng Temple.

She simply lacked some experience compared to the young master, hence didn’t connect these dots promptly.

At the moment, Yun Ran’s face was full of shock, "Young master, are you saying someone wants to become the true master of this Demon-locking Tower, then strike against the Heavenly Dao, and finally seize the Divine Status belonging to the Heavenly Dao?"

As someone bold enough to speak up, Yun Ran was also somewhat astonished, having never imagined people would dare to think to this extent.

She initially assumed the Immortal Ascension Channel was already the manifestation of ambition, but now she knew human hearts were far more greedy and wild than she imagined.

Even the so-called mad ancestors at Qingfeng Temple never dared to think of replacing the Heavenly Dao’s Divine Status.

If those people had always been preparing such means, it all seemed to make sense now.

Even hidden from the Heavenly Dao’s scrutiny, no evidence would mean the Heavenly Dao might sense some bad signs and thus deliver some punishment.

Those people must realize how mad their actions were; a single mistake would lead to ruin and end in annihilation.

That’s why they shifted those Heavenly Abandoned Life Charts to innocent people’s shoulders.

In that moment, Yun Ran suddenly didn’t know what to say.

Facing such exposed Heavenly Abandoned Fate, the Heavenly Dao didn’t directly strike the people down.

It still went by the so-called procedures to settle accounts.

This gave those people the opportunity to harm innocent lives.

Making the Heavenly Dao’s so-called fairness and justice a laughingstock, losing the balance that worldly Qi Fortune ought to have.

Furthermore, since part of the Heavenly Dao Origin was missing earlier, with the right conditions in place, replacing the Heavenly Dao’s Divine Status doesn’t seem so impossible. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

Though it’s somewhat inappropriate, Yun Ran just wants to say, the Heavenly Dao got played, quite pitiful, right?

If someone were targeting her, even without evidence, once she’d mentally judged them guilty, she’d definitely strike first with force.

After a period of silence, Xie Xuzhi finally grasped the crux of the matter.

Simply put, this behavior is similar to most worldly disputes.

The conflicting parties, through various means, grow stronger or weaker, until one devours everything from the other.

Just, perhaps no one ever thought someone could actually dream of replacing the Heavenly Dao.

In a way, these people indeed show a ’striving for progress.’

If only they weren’t so unscrupulous, harming countless people, Xie Xuzhi might even say they were akin to the greatest heroes.
