I'm not a fortune teller.

Chapter 67 What I preach is the truth!

"Master Zhang, this joke is not funny."

"It's not a joke." Zhang Rui shook his head: "I just need Miss Nightingale's cooperation. If you are willing to cooperate and keep it a secret."

Nightingale stared at the other person. If he was just joking with her, there would be no need to do this. But if he was not joking, was it possible?

The reason why a family of sorcerers can be passed down for thousands of years is because of the monopoly on the magic. As long as they master the method and slowly train their children, even if they cannot become one of the Nine Ministers in the capital, they can still become a local big family. If they can have an orthodox inheritance, why would they go to a brothel to perform?
The Lu family said that I was born with a charming body and was a rare material, but they were unwilling to teach me even the basic method of Dantian cultivation, for fear that I would learn anything from them. Even some of the servants in the Lu family knew more than me. They seemed to value me and praised me so brilliantly, but in fact my status was the lowest.

Just like this time, if I was told to give me to someone as a concubine, would I have any power to resist?

In fact, she also knew that this was her destiny. It just depended on who she would become a concubine. If she was lucky, she could become a concubine of the brothers Lu Yuan or Lu Sheng, at least marrying a young man. If she was unlucky, she could marry Lu Chengfeng or some other family elder sorcerer. Haha, in this life, she would just be a toy of some disgusting old men.

The only chance may be that the situation will be better after giving birth to a gifted child.

This was not because she was pessimistic, but because it was a fact. Even though Lu Sheng and Lu Yuan had been so enthusiastic about her since they were young, and even had a quarrel with each other, so what? Would they teach her something about warlocks?

But the thing he had always dreamed of was easily spoken out of the mouth of the person in front of him.

"I am willing to keep it a secret, but are you willing to believe me, sir?" Nightingale sneered.

"Yes."

nightingale:"."

"I'm not kidding." Zhang Rui looked at the other person seriously: "Please rest assured, Miss Nightingale, just tell me whether you are willing or not!"

Nightingale bit her lip, her chest pounding. This sounded ridiculous. Reason told her that this was impossible and might even be a big trap, but she was still moved.

"What does Master Zhang need from me?"

"I've already said it." Zhang Rui repeated, "As long as Miss Nightingale keeps it a secret, it'll be fine."

What is this requirement?
Nightingale was in disbelief and didn't know how to start.

"I ask again, Miss Nightingale, are you willing or not?"
-
“This is a little different from what was originally planned.”

In another room, Murong Yunji looked at Zhang Rui, somewhat puzzled as to why Zhang Rui wanted to change his plan.

The initial plan was actually very simple and crude, which was to ask the Lu family for an enlightened sorcerer, and then use force to force the other party to teach himself the method of sorcerer enlightenment. If everything went well, he would naturally kill him. After all, Zhang Rui said from the beginning that this time the enlightened sorcerer was needed, not borrowed, but the Lu family would definitely suspect him later. However, in order to enter the extraordinary stage, Zhang Rui did not care about this suspicion.

"There is a more reliable way." Zhang Rui explained: "If we use force, the risk is actually quite high, because we can't tell whether the sorcerer sent by the other party is a deadly warrior, nor can we tell whether he knows how to secretly transmit information. Once the Lu family knows that I am not a sorcerer, the other party's methods will not be as gentle as they are now."

"What about this time?" Murong Yunji asked curiously, "Is there anything different?"

"It's very different." Zhang Rui smiled and said, "First of all, from what I just said, it seems that Nightingale has cost the Lu family a lot of blood, but in fact it's not important. She hasn't even mastered the basic Dantian method. From the beginning to the end, she is a person that the Lu family wants to control and guard against. It can be judged that her talent is actually very high, but the Lu family does not want her to become an excellent warlock. Most likely, they just want her to be a vase or a tool to give birth to excellent warlocks."

"Yeah," Murong Yunji nodded. "The housekeeper hinted to you before that many elders and sorcerers from aristocratic families want Nightingale. If they were just after her beauty, it shouldn't be the case. It's probably because of Nightingale's special status as a sorcerer and her good looks that she's so popular. Since the Lu family is unwilling to train her to become stronger, then her purpose should be as you said, to give birth to children."

"So she is unwilling to give in." Zhang Rui said with a smile: "If she is unwilling to give in, then there is a basis for cooperation."

"People's hearts are hard to predict. Do you dare to cooperate with her just because of this?" Murong Yunji frowned.

"Of course not." Zhang Rui shook his head: "Even if she reports the whole process to the Lu family, the method I used will be useless."

"what do you mean?"

"Use her to test the method I have in mind to become extraordinary!"
-
"You mean he refused at first, but then stayed after hearing that Nightingale was an enlightenment sorcerer?" Lu Chengfeng frowned.

"Yes." Butler Lu smiled bitterly, "He doesn't seem to be interested in Nightingale herself."

"That's rare." Lu Chengfeng touched his chin. The old men in the tribe who were so old that they looked like they had scapulas on their backs were not uninterested in Nightingale's beauty. Was this guy a blockhead?
Or rather
Lu Chengfeng suddenly thought of something. Yes, if the other party could see through the Lu family's illusion array, he would most likely be able to see through Nightingale's illusion. This seemed to make sense. No matter how beautiful a woman was, if she had that thing wrapped around her body, who wouldn't feel disgusted?
"The elders of the Wang family and the Duke of England knew immediately that you sent Nightingale to the Zhang residence. They were very dissatisfied."

"Oh, if you are dissatisfied, just bear with it!" Lu Chengfeng snorted coldly: "Does my Lu family need their permission to deal with a slave?"

"Master Lu Yuan also heard about this after he woke up. He got very angry and has not eaten or drunk for a day." The housekeeper whispered. "Let him starve!" Lu Chengfeng said with a smile: "Why are you pretending to be affectionate with me? We have grown up together for so many years. If he really wanted to, he would have taught that girl the Dantian method a long time ago. With that girl's qualifications, once she learns the way of a sorcerer, her ability may not be worse than Lu Yuan's."

"Why didn't he do that? Is he afraid that I would scold him? Considering how much he is valued by the Lu family, would I do anything to him just because he gave me something privately? He knows exactly what position Nightingale holds in his heart!"

"Master is wise," Butler Lu said with a smile.

"Stop flattering me." Lu Chengfeng waved his hand: "What did you promise Nightingale?"

"Of course I have high hopes for her." The housekeeper said with a smile, "Let her report all the information about Lord Zhang as soon as possible. When the time is right, I will take her back to the Lu family. From now on, she won't have to go back to Qingfeng Tower anymore."

This promise was very high for a slave girl who was performing for a living. It basically told her explicitly that she would no longer be given to old men from other sorcerer families as concubines. Many of those old men had bad personalities and perverted methods. Instead of that, staying in the Lu Mansion would at least give her some security in her later years.

Lu Chengfeng nodded in satisfaction. Since the man surnamed Zhang could see the evil in Nightingale, he would most likely not touch her. This had both advantages and disadvantages. The disadvantage was that he could not get much information out of her without her sleeping companion. But the advantage was that she would still be a virgin after returning.

After raising it for so many years, he would still feel a little uncomfortable if he let someone else pick the red pill, so he had to do it himself in the end.

As for intelligence, he actually only cared about one thing, and that was the problem of the centipede on Zhang's body. The other party must have a backup plan if he dared to keep it. He sent his enlightenment sorcerer there, and it was very likely that he would also do something about removing the centipede. As long as this bit of information could be found out, the purpose of sending Nightingale there would be achieved.

"By the way, the latest information is that the queen has sent an invitation to the Zhang family's female relatives to enter the palace."

"Oh?" Lu Chengfeng smiled when he heard this: "This is interesting. Has Princess Yunyang returned to the capital?"

"He's back!" The housekeeper whispered, "When the information about Lord Zhang came from the North Sea, someone immediately reported it to Yunyin Temple. Princess Yunyang, who had been practicing Zen in seclusion for three years, immediately rushed to the capital."

"It is true." Lu Chengfeng laughed, "When the Princess of Jialin County died tragically under the bridge, the man surnamed Zhang spent the entire night drinking on the bridge. I used to think he was just an ordinary person and didn't pay attention to him, but now it seems that he must know something about what happened back then. The Princess is a strong-willed person and will not keep it to herself. Coupled with Hong Lie's temperament, this banquet will probably be a lot to watch."

The housekeeper smiled and said nothing. Hong Lie was the husband of Princess Yunyang, the commander of the 100,000 imperial guards in the capital, and was deeply trusted by His Majesty. He also had an excellent talent for martial arts. Like Yuchi Peng, he was the closest person to a master in the past hundred years!
"Here it comes." Murong Yunji looked outside the door and said.

Zhang Rui nodded, and soon there was a knock on the door.

"Come in!"

Nightingale opened the door and walked in slowly, with trepidation on her face but determination in her eyes.

"My Lord just said that as long as we keep it a secret, it will be fine?"

"Yes!" Zhang Rui nodded with a smile, but thought to himself: In fact, it is okay not to keep it secret, because the Lu family probably won't understand what I am doing anyway.

"If you can really keep your promise, Nightingale's life will belong to you from now on!"

"Forget about the polite words." Zhang Rui said with a smile: "Come on, take off your clothes."

"Forehead?"

"Don't worry, take it off. With that thing on you, no matter how beautiful the color is, it's like a pot of porridge with shit in it. You can't swallow it."

Nightingale gritted her teeth. Does this guy always speak so harshly?

As Nightingale took off her clothes, Murong Yunji slowly stepped forward. As a sword fairy from ancient times, she naturally knew a lot about the operation of Dantian. As a direct descendant of a large sect, coupled with her many years of achievements, she had mastered at least dozens of exquisite and top-notch Dantian foundation-building methods.

However, now that the world has lost its spiritual energy, these inheritances are basically useless. At this time, we have to combine the methods used by these sorcerers to refine evil spirits and make some adjustments.

Zhang Rui and I have analyzed this before. These sorcerers are still able to use extraordinary magic. It is very likely that they are using the evil spirits as spiritual power. It is very likely that the inheritance of the current sorcerer family is an adaptation of the foundation-building method of the Qigong practitioners back then.

But after being bound to the evil spirit in this way, there is actually not much difference between yourself and the evil spirit.

She was very curious about what Zhang Rui would do. After all, based on her understanding of Zhang Rui, he would never go down this path.

boom!
Zhang Rui took out the Thousand Machine Box and said to Nightingale who looked nervous: "The method I teach you is different from any other family. It can be said that what I teach you is the true way of this world!"
