San Niang panicked and became anxious. She hurriedly went to find Shen Wanquan, but before she reached the study room, she heard an angry roar.
"Shen Wanquan, the Shen family's wealth today is not because of you alone, it is because of the hard work of the Shen family's generations!"
In the Shen family, there was only one person who dared to roar at Shen Wanquan, and that was the eldest uncle, Shen Changlie.
He was of high seniority and had a bad temper, easily angered.
The younger generation of the Shen family did not dare to go against Shen Wanquan's decision, so they went to him and complained. This senior indeed expressed that he could not tolerate this matter and came to find Shen Wanquan angrily, spittle flying everywhere.
"Even during the Shen family's most difficult times, we enjoyed both blessings and difficulties together. Not to mention now that the Shen family is thriving, it is fine that you did not increase your monthly allowance, but you actually listened to a woman's foolish opinion and reduced it by half!"
"Women have long hair and short eyes, how can you listen to her nonsense!"
"I know that her family has a backer and you have some misgivings, but she is the daughter-in-law of the Shen family, you cannot forget your roots!"
"I also heard that she often bullies Lian 'er, is that right? Lian 'er's mother died early, but she bullied him. In my opinion, the Shen family cannot tolerate her. "
San Niang's face turned pale at this. Shen Changlie wanted Shen Wanquan to divorce her!
Plop!
San Niang rushed into the study room and knelt on the ground, her forehead touching the floor as tears flowed down her face.
"Eldest uncle, old master, daughter-in-law was wrong!"
…
In the corner of the room, there were dozens of wine jars.
Shen Lian opened the wine jar and the aroma of the wine assailed his nose. There were many kinds of medicinal herbs in the wine.
"Eight treasure wine, done!"
Shen Lian poured a big bowl and drank it all.
This medicinal wine had the effect of nourishing blood and qi. When the wine entered the stomach, there was a burning sensation.
The grandmaster Gu and iron skin Gu seemed to have sensed something and sped up their breathing, continuously refining primeval qi into their apertures.
Unknowingly, the jar of eight treasure wine was finished, and another jar of ten complete nourishment wine was opened.
Gradually, the primeval energy in the iron skin Gu's aperture became so dense that one could not even see one's own fingers. The primeval energy in the grandmaster Gu's aperture was even denser, so much so that it felt like the aperture would explode.
"According to Lin Xiuping's book, when the Yuan Qi in the aperture reaches its limit, it will liquefy and transform into liquid Yuan Qi. It is called Zhen Yuan and is bronze in color."
"Green copper primeval essence is the sign of a white rank Gu Master advancing to a green copper rank Gu Master!"
Shen Lian was still a white rank Gu Master, if he wanted to break through, he had to continue accumulating primeval qi and liquefying it.
"With the medicinal wine, I should be able to become a Bronze Gu Master in no time."
White rank Gu Masters were not considered to be extraordinary, a first rate Martial Master in the mortal world could defeat a white rank Gu Master, but a Bronze rank Gu Master was completely different. They were truly extraordinary existences, even the strongest mortal was not a match for a Bronze rank Gu Master.
Right at this moment!
'You have successfully bewitched Sanniang. You have gained 3 Bewitchment Points.'
A wonderful voice suddenly sounded in Shen Lian's mind. He was stunned and couldn't help but be ecstatic.
"San Niang finally gave up! I retreated in order to advance, and made her retreat in defeat! "Shen Lian let out a long breath. Suddenly!
"Eh, three bewitchment points?!"
Previously, no matter who he succeeded in bewitching, it was always one bewitchment point. There had never been a situation where it was more than one point.
"San Niang is so awesome, the Life Twisting Gu's evaluation of her must be very high." Shen Lian's gaze flickered, carefully looking for the difference between San Niang and the others.
"San Niang wholeheartedly wants her son to inherit the clan head position and replace me.
Bewitching her to give up is very difficult.
Could it be that the bewitchment points are directly proportional to the difficulty? "
Shen Lian's thoughts gradually became clear, and he grasped the main point.
"If that is the case, then the difficulty system is based on a person's attitude towards a certain matter, or the degree of firmness of a certain idea.
The deeper the firmness, the higher the difficulty and the more challenging it is.
And when I bewitch others, it is to shake their beliefs and change their way of thinking. "
Make a woman who loves her husband deeply, have an affair;
Make a bad person who has done all kinds of evil, do good;
Make a monk with firm religious beliefs, eat wine and drink meat;
Make a nun who has no desires, fall in love …
"I have to find someone to try."
Thinking of this, Shen Lian was a little excited, and he was ready to make a move.
Coincidentally, Cui Lan knocked on the door and entered at this moment. She pushed the door open with a smile, wearing an aqua blue moonlight dress. Her eyebrows were full of joy, and she was very happy.
There was no other reason other than that the overbearing and ruthless Third Mistress had shut herself in to reflect on her mistakes. She could finally wear this dress without worry.
"Master Lian, Master said that the ban on you has been lifted. You can go to the account room to withdraw your expenses at any time, and your monthly allowance will still be paid."
Cui Lan revealed a smile, and her eyes were surging with worship. Third Mistress, who even Second Mistress could not control, had been tormented miserably by Shen Lian. Amazing!
Shen Lian chuckled.
Actually, he was not short of money.
Guan Chao's head was worth one hundred and fifty thousand taels. In the spirit of sharing, he gave Sun Yuanxiang and Bai Li Fei fifty thousand taels each, but the two elders insisted on not accepting it.
Sun Yuanxiang was a loner, and did not need so much money. Bai Li Fei was wholeheartedly training Shen Lian, and he was not short of money either.
Therefore, Shen Lian had one hundred and fifty thousand taels left.
He did not expect Sanniang to admit defeat so quickly.
If he knew that Shen Wanquan almost divorced Sanniang, he would not be so surprised.
"Okay, I know."
Shen Lian pondered, raised his eyebrows, and asked, "Cui Lan, what animal are you most afraid of?"
Cui Lan was stunned, and did not know why Shen Lian asked this. She thought for a while and said, "It should be … snakes! I have been afraid of snakes since I was young. "
"If there is a snake that does not bite people, do you dare to pick it up?"
"I … don't dare!"
Great!
Shen Lian's eyes were bright, and he stared at Cui Lan. He said, "Master, I want to raise a pet snake. For me, are you willing to overcome your fear?"
Cui Lan's delicate body trembled, and she slowly raised her head. In an instant, she met Shen Lian's eyes. Her eyes gradually showed a touch of determination, as if she was responding to Shen Lian's expectations.
"I am willing!"
After that, Shen Lian really bought a pet snake, a mini green snake. It was only as long as a palm, and as thick as a pinky finger. At first glance, it looked very silly and cute.
Shen Lian held it in his hand. The little green snake trembled, and its tongue flicked, gently coiling around his finger. It was very soft, and there was no sense of strength in it.
"Cui Lan, you, try it?" Shen Lian handed the little green snake over.
Cui Lan held her breath.
She held up her hands, and the little green snake slowly crawled over. The moment it touched her fingers, her body tensed up, and she closed her eyes.
She only felt a slippery feeling on her hand, and the cold touch made her body stiff, and her emotions fluctuated violently.
"For Master Lian! For Master Lian … "
After some time, she opened her eyes, and saw the little green snake quietly nestled in her palm, just like when she had nightmares, it always liked to curl up.
"It seems to be trembling?"
Cui Lan's heart skipped a beat. She just realized that the little green snake was so weak. It was also afraid of the world, afraid of herself.
For a moment, Cui Lan felt a great sense of absurdity.
After being in a deadlock for a while, she suddenly had a great amount of courage. She carefully raised her hand, and gently stroked the little green snake.
"You have successfully bewitched Cui Lan, you have gained three deceptive points." A strange voice sounded in Shen Lian's mind, and his eyes shone brightly.
"Just by helping Cui Lan overcome her fear, I can gain three deceptive points. If I bewitch an old monk to break his sexual abstinence, then …"
