Cultivating Immortality Begins with Selling Oneself

Chapter 115 Falling out
Shen Fuyu's eyes, distinctly black and white, were exceptionally clear, like a clear spring, without a trace of impurities.

Simple and innocent.

Shen Fuyu was extremely good at disguise, and the old man in black robe looked at her carefully with his sharp eyes.

However, Shen Fuyu did not change at all, nor did he feel guilty. Instead, he was extremely confident.

Under the gaze of the old man in black robe, Shen Fuyu did not show any abnormality or fear.

As time passed, the old man in black robe still didn't speak, and his eyes never left Shen Fuyu. On the contrary, his expression became extremely weird.

Shen Fuyu's heart skipped a beat.

For some reason, I thought of the soul-searching technique.

What if the old man in black robe uses soul-searching technique? Shen Fuyu is not the old man in black robe. As long as the old man in black robe is tough enough, Shen Fuyu has no way to deal with it.

This was the first time Shen Fuyu realized that the world was cruel.

I also realized that the idea that the strong are respected as described in the storybook is not just talk.

In the era of imperial power, the lives of nobles were more valuable than those of ordinary people, let alone in the world of immortal cultivation.

In a short period of time, Shen Fuyu reflected a lot in her heart and realized that she should be more cautious.

Feelings of regret surfaced within me.

Of course, Shen Fuyu remained expressionless despite thinking a lot in his mind.

"Shen Fuyu, are you sure you are not lying?" After an unknown amount of time, the voice of the old man in black robe sounded in his ears.

"Of course." Shen Fuyu answered without hesitation, "Talent is innate. I can't explain it, and I don't know why it turned out like this. If Master likes, I can give my ability to you. After all, I only bring trouble and can't protect myself."

Shen Fuyu's expression then became panic-stricken.

"Master, I'm afraid of being mistaken for a monster. If that day comes, will you come and save me?"

She is like a little girl who is unable to protect herself and is afraid of retaliation because of her extraordinary talent.

There is nothing wrong with Shen Fuyu's performance, and it is precisely because of this that Shen Fuyu has huge problems.

Shen Fuyu was born in a farming family and was an ordinary peasant girl. Logically speaking, Shen Fuyu had no experience and should have been a servant like most other girls when she came to the Shen family.

However, Shen Fuyu became a servant by relying on his own abilities, and was extremely trusted by the eldest and second daughters of the Shen family.

The key point is that it was extremely difficult for Shen Fuyu's original family to get enough food, so how did Shen Fuyu learn to recognize words?
There are many doubts.

It is impossible for ordinary people to be as perfect as Shen Fuyu when facing the questioning of the old man in black robe.

There is a problem, and it’s a big one.

The old man in black robe didn't believe a word Shen Fuyu said.

"Shen Fuyu, Shen Fuyu, since you are so sure that you are not lying, why not let me search your soul? From birth to now, as long as you have any memory, I can know everything." The black-robed old man looked at Shen Fuyu with a sly smile on his face. "If I have wronged you, this sword is your compensation."

The old man in black robe took out a sword out of thin air. The sword was sharp and surrounded by spiritual energy.

With a slight wave, a burst of sword energy can be released.

It is obvious that this thing is not ordinary.

Shen Fuyu's heart sank, the scene he feared most finally happened.

Her mind raced, wondering how to escape this crisis. Beads of sweat formed on Shen Fuyu's forehead.

At the moment, there was no perfect solution.

"Shen Fuyu, what do you think?"

The old man in black robe did not rush Shen Fuyu to give an answer. Instead, he admired Shen Fuyu's facial expression.

No one could lie to him, let alone get away with it. After all, he was hundreds of years older than Shen Fuyu. Shen Fuyu's level of skill was nothing compared to the black-robed old man.

"Master, what is soul searching?" Shen Fuyu continued to play dumb.

Since you have chosen to install, you must complete the process.

"Soul searching is a method of inducing resonance deep within your soul. This method is usually used against traitors and those who refuse to tell the truth."

After a soul search, a person may become a fool. Of course, if they are lucky enough, they will just be a little stupid.

The old man in black robe did not say anything, but instead carefully observed the changes in Shen Fuyu's expression.

Shen Fuyu blinked, "Master, I don't believe it. I heard that soul searching can turn people into fools. Besides, you didn't help Shen Mengning."

"Besides, why would I do this for Shen Mengning?"

Shen Fuyu had a splitting headache and prayed desperately in his heart, "The old man in black robe, please leave quickly!"
Unless necessary, Shen Fuyu no longer wanted to talk to the old man in black robe. It was too difficult, with traps everywhere. Shen Fuyu could be led astray if he wasn't careful.

"Anyway, you refused to let me search your soul."

"Of course, I don't want the sword either."

At this point, Shen Fuyu and the old man in black robe were clearly in opposition.

Shen Fuyu shrank back silently, his vigilance at the highest point, fearing that the old man in black robe would not abide by martial ethics and attack him directly.

"Shen Fuyu, as long as you are willing to let me search your soul, I promise I can solve Shen Mengning's problem."

"Furthermore, I can take you to the immortal realm. Mortals can only prolong their lives through hard cultivation, but it's impossible to ascend to heaven. As long as you follow me, I can take you back to the immortal realm. How about that?"

When intimidation failed, the old man in black robe chose to bribe.

I bother!

Shen Fuyu cursed him in his heart.

The old man in black robe really doesn't even think twice before telling lies. If he really has the ability, he would have returned to the fairyland long ago. Why would he spend his whole life pondering in the mortal world?
Could it be that the old man in black robe stayed in the mortal world just to enjoy the scenery?

I think the old man in black robe must be unable to stay in the fairy world, or he may have encountered some difficulties and chose to hide in the mortal world.

Do you really think she is a three-year-old child who can be easily deceived?

"Master, I want to rely on myself."

Shen Fuyu clenched his fists and made a cheering gesture.

"Ah!"

The old man in black robe completely lost his patience and grabbed Shen Fuyu and wanted to attack him.

However, Shen Fuyu was as agile as a loach. When he noticed the change in the favorability of the black-robed old man's head, he slipped away immediately.

The old man in black robe was so angry that he laughed.

"Master, calm down!"

Shen Fuyu did not forget to comfort him.

Master Shen Yi is not around, so I can’t defeat the old man in black robe!

It can be said that no one in the entire academy can defeat the old man in black robe.

In order to prevent the black-robed old man from having a seizure and hurting other scholars, Shen Fuyu had no choice but to comfort him.

"Master, I can satisfy anything you want, except soul searching. I don't want to become a fool. Maybe I'll take the imperial examination in the future. If I become a fool, how can I take the exam?"

"Master, you've been in the world of immortal cultivation for so many years, and you've never seen anyone with a special physique? Perhaps you could check it out for me? Maybe I have a physique that's only seen once in a thousand years, or even ten thousand years! Picking me up, you've truly found a genius."
