They’re brave enough to venture into any dangerous place and don’t spare a thought for this old man!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He said he was going to find Yun Ran, going after the Heavenly Book, but in Xuan Kong’s heart, there was a vague voice, worrying when his apprentice and he might meet again after this departure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He used to see him every day, unable to stand it, feeling annoyed, wanting to push him out for experience.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, just as he leaves, barely out of sight, Xuan Kong already starts to miss him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alas, truly getting old.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xuan Chu found Gu Yuan to inquire about Yun Ran’s whereabouts, knowing that others might not know, but Gu Yuan surely would have some information.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>True to Xuan Chu’s expectations, the busy-as-a-bee Gu Yuan indeed had some knowledge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, as he was too busy and had too much faith in Yun Ran, he never suspected anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes glued to the papers in hand, he answered Xuan Chu’s questions without even looking up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once he finally wrapped up his work, intending to chat with Xuan Chu properly, there wasn’t even a shadow left of Xuan Chu in the office.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey, this Xuan Chu, didn’t he see how busy I am? No patience at all, what’s the hurry couldn’t he have waited a moment?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rushing off like that, makes me seem like I have no manners, such great indignation!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Yuan had decided that once Xuan Chu returned that evening, he would have a good talk with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, he was destined not to see Xuan Chu return for his chiding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xuan Chu quickly reached the place where Yun Ran and the others had previously found the space rift.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Little Paperman had been watching this spot; cautious that it might pique some ill-intentioned interest, it also set up an Array here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the eyes of outsiders, this place appeared deserted, with no foot traffic, hence no one would naturally approach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sensing Xuan Chu’s aura, the Little Paperman flew out, eyes full of curiosity: \"What brings you here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since the Little Paperman was present, Yun Ran must be around too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xuan Chu, who was initially worried, now felt somewhat reassured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where’s Yun Ran?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Little Paperman shook its head, knowing only that its master and others had entered another space rift from this cliff, and nothing further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it were anyone else, the Little Paperman would never speak a word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Xuan Chu was different; he knew about the master’s origins in the Outer Domain, so speaking posed no issue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My master and the team entered another space rift. That should be the true location of the Heavenly Book!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After saying this, the Little Paperman recalled the Dragon Spirit, adding: \"The Dragon King also came before and passed through that space rift.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xuan Chu knew finding the Heavenly Book wouldn’t be easy but didn’t expect it to be hidden this securely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked again at the two Array Balls in his hand containing the Guardian Dragon Spirits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, might these Guardian Dragon Spirits be actually in charge of guarding the sealed space rift?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But because of the overly long passage of time, they lost much power and attracted unwelcome attention, leading to the discovery of the Heavenly Book.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While Xuan Chu was lost in thought, Er Dan, who had been playing dead all along, seemed to notice something useful, as the light on its body flickered incessantly.\u003C\u002Fp>",1202,"2026-06-06T11:49:09.270Z",1,"novelbin.me","5d73979b3cea1f87f3f0e07029fa4c67be7bef6d37dd20730b7bd7ee61ba623d","cannon-fodder-heiress-turns-the-tables-by-fortun-chapter-961","cannon-fodder-heiress-turns-the-tables-by-fortun-chapter-959",1219,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fcannon-fodder-heiress-turns-the-tables-by-fortun-cover.jpg"]
