Cannon-Fodder Heiress Turns the Tables by Fortune-Telling-Chapter 1056 - 1052

Upon entering the courtyard, Yun Ran immediately discovered that it was surrounded by an array.

From the outside, it was impossible to perceive the situation here, but once inside, a careless mistake could lead to being trapped by the magic of the array.

"Tsk tsk tsk, I never expected that there would be such an array here!"

Unfortunately, this array had limited effects on Yun Ran.

Yun Ran placed her two fingers together and brushed them across her eyes, instantly activating her Heavenly Eye.

The courtyard, which initially seemed enchanting, suddenly appeared imposing and terrifying.

Scarlet mists drifted above the courtyard, enveloping the entire place.

The Ignore Talisman on Yun Ran’s body should, in theory, remain effective as long as she didn’t tear it off.

But now, just by staying in this courtyard for a while, the talisman paper on her body was beginning to heat up.

This was a sign that the Ignore Talisman was quickly depleting.

Yun Ran raised her brows in sudden realization; although this array had limited influence on her, it could still consume talisman papers and Magic Artifacts.

Viewed this way, even if someone noticed something amiss here, a weaker individual who attempted to enter would likely meet an unfortunate end.

Yun Ran paid no heed to the fact that the talisman paper on her was about to deplete; with a swift motion, she retrieved another handful.

She tossed the talisman papers into the air, where they encircled her.

Yun Ran formed seals with her hands, linking the talisman papers around her with an invisible force.

A sturdy talisman paper formation was created.

The array in this courtyard could swiftly consume a few talisman papers, but couldn’t deplete an entire talisman paper formation.

After setting everything in place, Yun Ran calmly began to survey her surroundings.

If she was merely a tourist, she might truly find this courtyard, built like a garden, quite enchanting.

If anyone lived here, they would surely feel at ease and comfort.

Unfortunately, this place possessed an array capable of devouring essence blood, causing those who lived here to gradually grow weak and perish.

"Hurry, someone, the Young Master is coughing up blood again!"

Yun Ran heard cries of alarm from nearby. Shortly after, many people appeared from different directions.

They seemed chaotic, yet were skillfully organized in their urgency.

Yun Ran was curious about the situation concerning this so-called Young Master and followed in the same direction as the others.

The key difference was that even though Yun Ran’s attire differed entirely from theirs, no one felt that she didn’t belong.

That was the power of the Ignore Talisman.

Yun Ran soon arrived at a particularly spacious courtyard. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

The smell of rotting blood emanated from a nearby chamber.

Yun Ran wrinkled her nose.

She swiftly stepped into the chamber, where she saw the Young Master lying on the bed.

He was so emaciated that his skin clung to his bones, rendering him unrecognizable.

If not for the rise and fall of his chest, he might resemble nothing more than a mummy.

Beside the bed stood an elderly man with gray hair.

His face was filled with evident distress as he looked at the young man lying on the bed, then turned towards the Daoist in long robes beside him.

"Master, how is my child?"

From his voice, it was clear that the gray-haired man was exceedingly anxious, repressed agitation underlining his tone.

The Daoist didn’t respond immediately but instead glanced in Yun Ran’s direction.

Yun Ran watched him furrow his brows, as if he had noticed something, but couldn’t quite figure it out.

This led Yun Ran to conscience this might be someone of actual ability; at least he could sense some small anomaly.

Yet, her talisman paper formation ensured that even if someone detected the energy fluctuations here, discovering her presence was impossible.

Unless this Daoist’s power surpassed her own.

The Daoist soon shifted his gaze back to the gray-haired man.

"Mr. Wang, I’ve previously mentioned that the Young Master being alive is already an accomplishment; you shouldn’t ask for more."

The implication was clearly that Wang Family’s Young Master remaining breathing should be counted as fortunate.

Yun Ran carefully studied the features of the Wang Family’s Young Master lying in bed.

Uh...

Well, someone who escaped death looks vastly different, affecting their original fate, making it difficult for Yun Ran to discern the true destiny.

However, she could tell that the Wang Family’s Young Master was long due to die, lingering purely through external force.

His body had already begun to manifest resentful energy.

Within moments, Yun Ran determined that the culprit drawing the Divine Soul from the children was the Wang Family’s Young Master.

Nevertheless, Yun Ran didn’t immediately take action and kill the Wang Family’s Young Master.

On one hand, killing him might make it impossible to retrieve the Divine Soul of the children.

On the other, even if he deserved death, Yun Ran had no direct cause to intervene; killing him meant bearing the chaotic consequences on her own.

Thus, she needed further investigations.

At the very least, she had to discover how the Wang Family’s Young Master had prolonged his life.

Only then could she fully return the Divine Soul to the children.

Otherwise, a single misstep could damage the Divine Soul and leave the children mentally impaired.

"Daoist, I’ll pay any price as long as it makes my son better!"

The gray-haired man appeared extremely anxious, yet within his eyes lay a hint of obsession.

Such a person would go to any lengths.

At that moment, cries of alarm echoed from outside.

"Master, bad news..."

The gray-haired man’s expression immediately darkened; his son had just coughed up blood, rendering him unable to hear unwelcome news.

Beside him stood another man who, although silent, seemed to resemble a steward.

With precise force, the steward struck the screaming man with a slap.

A crisp sound resounded.

The messenger flew several meters away as though severely injured.

Thanks to the spacious chamber, it barely provided room for him to land.

A solid thud echoed as he hit the ground, Yun Ran even heard the crack of broken bones.

Yun Ran couldn’t help but wince; she didn’t expect the steward to be so skilled and merciless.
