Stop pretending, the fake heiress is actually a master of metaphysics.

"Shen Nian! What are you doing here!"

Shen Leyao screamed.

Shen Nian's expression also turned cold.

She looked at Shen Leyao, a half-smile playing on her lips, and said, "Why can't I be here?"

"You were already dead..."

She was only halfway through her sentence when Madam Shen, who also looked surprised and uncertain, grabbed her arm tightly.

I can't tell!

If others find out about those things, they're finished!

Shen Dahai and his wife exchanged a glance and immediately understood each other's meaning.

Shen Dahai forced a fake smile and stepped forward, saying, "President Gu, do you remember me? I'm Shen Dahai, the president of Shen's Construction. We met before."

"I heard that Young Master Gu is ill and the Gu family is looking for a metaphysical master... So I brought my wife and the master from the Shen family here. This is Master Luo, who is not only proficient in feng shui and divination, but also skilled in exorcising demons and ghosts. He will definitely be able to help Young Master Gu."

"As for this..."

Shen Dahai looked at Shen Nian, his gaze turning somewhat sinister: "This is my adopted daughter. She has been domineering and arrogant since she was a child, with low moral character, and she likes to go against me and her mother."

"They knew we were coming to the hospital to save the young master, so they secretly followed us when we weren't looking. They're just trying to harm him!"

"I'll have the driver take her home right away."

Madam Shen also stepped forward and grabbed Shen Nian's arm: "Yes, Mr. Gu, my daughter has poor character. It would be bad if she offended the young master."

Shen Nian forcefully pulled her arm away, and said with a half-smile, "Isn't this a coincidence, Madam Shen? I'm here to rescue the young master as well. If I leave, I'm afraid the young master will never wake up again."

"you?"

Madam Shen glanced at her disdainfully: "You think you can save Young Master Gu? Have you lost your mind? Are you really brain-dead? Mr. Gu, don't listen to her nonsense. Only Master Luo can save Young Master Gu's life."

Shen Leyao smiled shyly at Gu Qiwen: "Mr. Gu, don't believe my sister. She's dumber than a pig, how could she possibly know anything about metaphysics? She's just trying to get your attention."

"Sister, you'd better go home. Mr. Gu won't be fooled by your tricks, and the Shen family doesn't have a shameless daughter like you!"

They took turns speaking, each line echoing the last, going from stupid as a pig to shameless, each line crushing Shen Nian into the dust.

Assistant Lu frowned, thinking to himself that even if she was just an adopted daughter, she shouldn't be treated so lightly.

Just as he was about to speak, he saw Shen Nian make a shushing gesture at him.

"Then please come in with me, Mr. Shen and Master Luo."

Master Luo paused for two seconds as he passed Shen Nian, and slowly said, "Young lady, lying diminishes one's virtue. To be so young and already so ill-mannered is a disservice to your parents' painstaking teachings."

"The reputation of us sorcerers has been ruined by people like you who know nothing but still try to deceive others."

He shook his head and followed Assistant Lu into the ward.

"I hope the master will remember his words. If he can't save the young master..."

Madam Shen glared at her fiercely: "You jinx, how dare you curse the young master! President Gu should have someone beat you up so you'll know what it means to say things you shouldn't."

"Mr. Gu, rest assured, Master Luo is a truly skilled master and will definitely be able to cure Young Master Gu!"

Shen Dahai said with absolute confidence.

Master Luo glanced at Gu Yuncheng on the bed, stroked his beard, and said, "Young Master is fine. After I perform a ritual, Young Master will wake up safely."

He put on a bright yellow Taoist robe, placed a small altar in the center of the ward, and then threw a lit talisman into the altar.

Then, holding a peach wood sword in one hand, he began to walk around Gu Yuncheng's sickbed while chanting incantations, occasionally slashing in the air.

Even though Assistant Lu had met so many masters in the past two days, he couldn't help but feel a jolt of shock upon seeing this scene.

Where did the Shen family find this shaman?

Shen Nian watched with great interest for a while, then clapped her hands: "You did a good job, I'll give you two copper coins as a reward."

Upon hearing this, Master Luo abruptly stopped his ritual and rushed towards Gu Qiwen: "Mr. Gu, no one can disturb me while I'm performing the ritual. Otherwise, if anything goes wrong with the young master, I won't take responsibility!"

Shen Nian shrugged: "Then you can continue."

Master Luo wiped the sweat from his brow and continued his ritual.

The Shen family members watched Shen Nian nervously, afraid that she would make another sound and disturb the ritual.

However, as time passed, Gu Yuncheng still did not wake up.

The atmosphere became somewhat heavy for a moment.

Madam Shen grew anxious: "Master, please continue your ritual! You'll definitely be able to wake the young master!"

Shen Dahai also spoke up, "Master, is there any magic artifact you're missing? Just tell me, and I'll have someone go and buy it right away. Or perhaps you've been working too hard these past few days, so why don't you rest for a while?"

The Shen family anxiously tried to make amends for Master Luo, whose forehead was already covered in beads of cold sweat.

"Don't worry, the young master's condition is quite serious. Let me try to cast another spell."

However, no matter how he chanted incantations and cast spells, Gu Yuncheng remained with his eyes closed and motionless.

Upon hearing this, Shen Nian scoffed, "Master, are you done yet?"

"How much longer will it take you to wake the young master? Perhaps you're simply incapable of doing so?"

"Do you remember what you just said? Oh, the reputation of sorcerers is probably ruined by incompetent people like you."

Upon hearing this, Master Luo's face instantly turned red, whether from anger or guilt, it was unclear.

He brandished his peach wood sword and angrily said, "Mr. Shen, I will not save this man."

"You know my rules. The most basic condition for me to take action is that no one will disturb me. Otherwise, no matter how much money you offer, I won't take the job."

"Your adopted daughter has repeatedly interrupted my spellcasting. The young master was about to wake up, but now the spell has been interrupted, and I have no other choice."

Is this a case of someone realizing they can't handle the situation and trying to shift the blame onto her?

This Master Luo not only knows some low-class and crooked tricks, but he's also incredibly shameless.

Shen Dahai immediately became anxious: "Master, please calm down. Now, in the entire capital, only you can save the young master."

He then turned to Shen Nian: "You little brat, hurry up and apologize to the master! Otherwise, if anything happens to the young master, how will you explain it to President Gu!"

"You little bitch, apologize to the master right now, or I won't let you off!"

Shen Nian said coldly, "Apologize to him? Aren't you afraid he'll die suddenly?"

Based on her cultivation level and age, it wouldn't be an exaggeration for all the mystics masters of this era to call her their grandmaster.

Before asking her to apologize, she should consider whether she can bear the consequences.

"Get out of the way once the show is over, don't get in the way of my rescue."

Shen Nian stepped forward and kicked away the altar that was blocking the way.

Seeing this, Master Luo was so angry he almost fainted: "Fine, fine, fine, I'll see what kind of skills you, a mere young girl, can have!"
