Chapter 292: Chapter 291: I Must Be Seeing Things!
[Host, what should I do, this guy is terrifying, he caught me in an instant, if I wasn’t carrying the scent of Heavenly Thunder, he would have torn me to pieces!!!]
Previously, even when facing the experts from the Special Administration Bureau, Yun Ran dared to communicate with Ginsengfruit in front of them.
But now, Yun Ran was somewhat wary of this young Daoist Protector, and she signaled Ginsengfruit with her eyes: [Don’t speak!]
Yun Ran didn’t dare say she had the best Talent, but at the very least, she was among the top tier.
Yet, the young man before her seemed to possess an even greater Talent, no wonder he could glimpse a trace of the Heavenly Secret and become a Heavenly Destiny Guardian.
The young man sat down cross-legged and began his divination.
After several minutes.
"Phew~"
The young man, who had been divining smoothly, suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, causing Yun Ran to hastily take two steps back.
Ginsengfruit also carefully moved back.
"You are not from this world!"
Yun Ran: ...
Now she somewhat understood why some people from the Special Administration Bureau disliked her before; this feeling of being seen through was indeed quite awful.
"The operation of this world does not permit disturbance. You inherently carry Merit, which is why the Heavenly Dao has not expelled you.
However, it seems your luck has been poor. The body you occupy now was sacrificed at birth, its Life Chart was replaced, merely to squeeze out its last bit of value.
Had you not taken over this body, with your previous Merits, you could have led a smooth life, what a pity~"
The young man wiped the fresh blood from his mouth, not bothered by the backlash he received from divining that Yun Ran was from another world.
At this moment, his gaze no longer held the calm dispassion of earlier; instead, it contained slight regret.
Having spoken, he turned to leave. Since the Heavenly Dao did not repel Yun Ran, a person from another world, he naturally would not take further action.
Yun Ran and Ginsengfruit watched the young man’s departing figure, but their defenses remained up for a long time.
Only when they couldn’t sense the presence of the Heavenly Destiny Guardian any longer did Ginsengfruit finally take a deep breath.
"Host, this guy is too powerful, he could even deduce that you’re not the original owner, thankfully he didn’t decide to completely wipe us out, otherwise..."
Perhaps feeling that saying the last few words might diminish his own presence, Ginsengfruit stopped mid-sentence.
Yun Ran retracted her Golden Feather, but the Merit on her body wasn’t completely withdrawn.
Instead, a portion of it formed into the shape of a golden collar, coiling around her neck.
Unless touched by hand, one would probably not suspect with the naked eye that it wasn’t just an ornament.
"This Heavenly Destiny Guardian, truly formidable. I’ve probed a few times before and couldn’t figure out the issues with the original owner.
To think that the original owner was sacrificed right at birth. Even if the Life Chart of the original owner wasn’t replaced later, the original owner was destined to die young."
"Host, I think, this must have been done by two different groups. The one who replaced the original owner’s Life Chart probably never dreamt that the real Qi Fortune of the original was already almost completely taken."
Thinking thus, Ginsengfruit slapped his hand fiercely.
He even cursed: "This darned hand, such bad luck, to have chosen this novel world."
Though encountering the Heavenly Destiny Guardian was unlucky, at least they learned some things they couldn’t have known on their own.
"Let’s pack up and leave here; this awful place is no place to stay."
Saying so, Yun Ran called the driver. The driver was somewhat puzzled by Yun Ran’s urgency, but since he was well paid for the job, he was willing to do whatever asked.
The young man returned to the village, and the door of the ancient building automatically opened, revealing an ageless old man.
He looked at his disciple in astonishment: "You were subject to a backlash?"
Every Daoist Protector has their own duty, guided by the Karma Stone; that’s their mission.
Were it not for the Karma Stone at the shrine lighting up, Tian Dao Village People could not leave at will.
Since the existence of Tian Dao Village, there had never been a case of a Daoist Protector facing backlash.
The old man’s expression immediately turned solemn; could it be that a great disaster was approaching?
He swiftly took out several特殊的石头布阵 special stones to form an array, then began calculating.
If Yun Ran were here, she would be utterly astonished; this was clearly the Star Plate Array that only her family’s immortal ancestor could activate.
"Person from the other world... Half-blood sacrifice of the Witch Clan... Life of Abandoned by Heaven..."
The old man could not divine further; everything was chaotic, and he finally had to stop, regretfully looking towards the sky.
Their world’s Heavenly Dao seemingly wasn’t as strong as the Heavenly Dao from the other world where the person came from; he could not use the Heavenly Dao’s power to probe things from that world.
"Xuan Chu, starting today, you will leave Heavenly Dao Village and follow that person from another world, keep an eye on her, and don’t let her disrupt the world’s operation!"
The young man, now known as Xuan Chu, respectfully nodded.
The people of Tian Dao Village did not care about a clear distinction between right and wrong; they acted according to the intent of the Heavenly Dao, maintaining the world’s balance.
People like Yun Ran, who could easily cause trouble, had to be monitored to prevent them from disrupting the normal operation of the Heavenly Dao.
"Yes, Master!"
Watching Xuan Chu about to leave, the old man gave a few more words of advice: "Under the Heavenly Dao, where there’s light, there must also be darkness. Remember, Daoist Protector, do not get involved in any clan disputes.
If you violate the rules of Tian Dao Village, you will no longer have the opportunity to cultivate to immortality, remember this well."
"Thank you for the teachings, Master, I will bear them in mind."
The moment Xuan Chu stepped out of Heavenly Dao Village, the Karma Stone at the shrine placed a Prohibition onto him.
At this moment, he truly became a Heavenly Destiny Guardian, roaming the world upholding the will of the Heavenly Dao.
From now on, whether it be plants, animals, or people, good or bad, in Xuan Chu’s eyes, all were equal.
And he was but a passerby, a spectator.
Yun Ran watched the car leave the loop area, finally exhaling the breath she had held in.
"Finally out of that horrid place, thankfully, thankfully..."
Just as Yun Ran looked out the car window, the smile on her face suddenly froze.
Yun Ran hurriedly closed her eyes, murmuring to herself, "It must have been an illusion!"
