From stable boy to peerless immortal

Surprisingly, it wasn't about demanding gold, silver, or martial arts training... Hua Qinglian seemed somewhat surprised as she looked at Shen Yuan, but she keenly noticed that the young man before her was completely different from the other servants in the mansion!

Not only was he exceptionally gifted and full of vitality, but his eyes were also bright, revealing a calm, steady, and firm demeanor, without the slightest hint of flattery or fawning. Despite his humble origins, he showed no reverence for himself or the Marquis's mansion.

They appear respectful, but in reality, they have no sense of hierarchy or distinction between superiors and inferiors.

This is a freak who is unwilling to be second to anyone, intelligent, ambitious, and even lawless!

She silently made her judgment in her heart, pondered for a moment, and then spoke in a voice as clear as pearls falling on a jade plate, exceptionally melodious:

"You have a strong constitution and a solid foundation, and your talent for martial arts is quite good. Moreover, you have a great aptitude for horse breeding. It would be a real pity if you didn't practice martial arts or raise horses..."

"From now on, you will work for me! Your salary will be the same as that of a steward, fifteen taels of silver per month."

Am I getting a promotion and a raise? But what about my indenture...? Shen Yuan was stunned, and just as he was about to say something, Hua Qinglian continued:

"As for the indenture, Ling'er will give it to you later... Also, I will teach you a martial art."

As she spoke, Hua Qinglian flicked her finger, and a beam of clear light flew towards Shen Yuan.

Shen Yuan felt a chill between his brows, and then a piece of information appeared in his mind.

Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that this was clearly a profound martial arts manual called "Dragon and Snake Treasure Record," containing text, illustrations, scenes of martial arts practice like those in a movie, and detailed explanations and descriptions for each stage.

Even if Shen Yuan has no martial arts foundation, he can still use this as a way to cultivate step by step!

"Thank you, young lady!"

Shen Yuan was both surprised and delighted. This was a cultivation method that could make people transcend the ordinary and become saints, and the other party had actually passed it on to him directly. This was truly a generous gesture.

If it were possible, he would gladly offer himself to her!

However, at the same time, a question also arose in Shen Yuan's mind.

This young lady seems to be too generous to me... She freed me from slavery, promoted me and gave me a raise, and even taught me martial arts techniques.

Shen Yuan still had a good sense of proportion.

Although he just made a contribution, it probably doesn't compare to these rewards.

"Hua Qinglian is, after all, a cultivator. It shouldn't be difficult for her to see through some of my secrets."

Thinking about what the other person had just said, Shen Yuan had a guess in his mind: "Could it be that she thought I wanted to leave Hua Rong Mansion, but then saw that I had talent in both martial arts and horse breeding, so she didn't want to let me leave and instead planned to train me well?"

Thinking about it this way, you can understand why the other party acted this way.

Regardless of the circumstances, this young lady is of noble birth, possesses profound cultivation, and is also beautiful. By all accounts, she is a golden opportunity!

More importantly, they didn't seem to have any ill intentions towards him.

"If we're going to survive in this Hua Rong Mansion, we have to stick close to this powerful figure!"

Shen Yuan secretly made up his mind.

After all, he desperately wanted to improve!

As we all know, to climb the ladder, one needs not only personal ability but also connections above you.

Shen Yuan was also somewhat frightened. If Yin Ling'er hadn't appeared, things would have escalated to the point where Steward Huang would have splashed him with dirty water, used family discipline to whip and punish him by making him kneel and admit his mistakes, or even beaten him to death...

Even if he raises horses well, even if he has a cheat code, he still hasn't fully matured.

He was just a lowly stable boy with no powerful connections. If he died, he was gone, and nobody cared.

Shen Yuan realized his weakness!

I also loathe this feeling of living in constant fear, with my life not being guaranteed!

"From now on, you only need to be responsible to me. You don't need to heed the orders of other managers or stewards."

Hua Qinglian glanced at her foolish younger brother beside her and added, "Including my younger brother."

Hua Mingfei immediately retorted, "Sister, why? I'm not as extreme and ruthless as Hua Yujie from the first wife's family, who takes pleasure in killing... At most, I've only injured a few blind bastards..."

He tried to argue his point, but when he met his sister's gaze, his voice grew softer and softer.

Killing for pleasure?

Upon hearing this, Shen Yuan's gaze sharpened, and he subconsciously frowned, revealing a hint of disgust.

Good heavens, the Hua Rong Mansion actually has this kind of scum... Isn't this just pure psychopathism!

If I were the Marquis of Hualong, I would drown every single one of these rebellious sons in a cesspool at birth, so they wouldn't grow up to harm others!

Hua Qinglian glanced at Shen Yuan and became even more convinced that she had done the right thing.

She didn't care what her subordinates' ulterior motives were, but no matter what, a person with principles and a kind heart is always better than a hypocritical and ruthless ingrate with no principles.

Such subordinates are more suitable for training.

"Hua Yujie has been spoiled since childhood and has caused a lot of trouble. Even with the protection of Madam Wu and his brother Hua Yulin, the seeds of disaster have been sown. He will suffer sooner or later. Don't follow his example."

Hua Qinglian gave her younger brother earnest instructions, as if she were speaking to someone else.

Mrs. Wu?

Shen Yuan's heart stirred, recalling the first day he arrived at Hua Rong Mansion, when Steward Huang used family law to punish the servant Sun Er as a warning to others. Sun Er had mentioned this Madam Wu.

"I have one more thing to ask of you, Miss."

Shen Yuan cupped his hands in greeting, already accustomed to his new identity.

"explain."

"I have a Fiery Roman horse that I have been raising day and night. I am reluctant to abandon it and earnestly request that you allow me to bring it here to take good care of it."

Shen Yuan lied without batting an eye, saying that the Fire Roman clone was extremely important to him and he absolutely could not abandon it.

Hua Qinglian's eyes were clear; she could tell he wasn't telling the truth, but she didn't delve into it. It was just a fiery Roman horse, after all...

"Can."

"Thank you, young lady!"

Shen Yuan quickly thanked him, quite pleased.

It has been almost half a year since I was sold into servitude to Hua Rong Mansion.

Until today, he has finally made a name for himself in Hua Rong Mansion.

Not only did he gain some power, he also obtained the cultivation method he had always dreamed of!

This is truly cause for celebration!

Of course, there are also downsides.

Since he's now working under this young lady, he'll inevitably be labeled as a second wife, making it easy for him to get involved in any trouble that might arise later.

But Shen Yuan was no novice; he was prepared for this.

He knew very well that if you wanted to gain something, you had to take on the risks that came with it. There was no such thing as a free lunch!

......

Before long, Shen Yuan got his indenture from Yin Ling'er as he wished.

After receiving the indenture, Shen Yuan examined it carefully. Once he was sure it was correct, he decisively tore it to shreds and threw it into the fire pit to burn it to ashes.

Immediately, he cupped his hands in greeting, a smile on his face: "Sister Ling'er, from now on, we will both be working under the young lady. I hope you will give me your guidance in the future."

"Hmph, who's your sister..."

Silver Bell gave a soft snort, turning her delicate oval face to the side: "I don't know a liar like you!"

So it was my fault for lying to her before... Shen Yuan found it somewhat amusing, realizing that this girl was adorably naive.
