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

"I haven't even used my full strength yet, and you've already confused me with those charlatans. I'll remember this insult."

"Noisy."

Shen Nian frowned and cast a silencing talisman on him.

Master Luo wanted to say something more, but to his horror he found that his mouth was as if it were glued shut, and he couldn't make a sound no matter what he did.

She raised her hand and directly cast a talisman to ward off evil.

The talisman hovered above Gu Yuncheng, emitting a strange golden light.

Shen Nianqing chanted the incantation:

"The Five Thunder Messengers, the Five Ding Commanders."

The Great Sage Suspended in the Air, Thunderous Roar.

Facing the Five Sacred Mountains, they stabilize the universe.

If you dare disobey, I will have your soul severed.

"Hurry, hurry, as the law commands!"

The next moment, the talisman suspended in the air moved automatically without wind and began to burn from its end.

Gu Yuncheng, who had been unable to be awakened by Master Luo's singing and dancing for most of the day, suddenly opened his eyes and sat up in bed.

Her previously pale complexion has become much rosier.

Madam Shen screamed, "This is impossible!"

"Young Master Gu only has a little bit of yin energy entering his body. You can't even solve such a simple problem. I don't know where you get the nerve to call yourself a master."

Master Luo finally managed to speak, and upon hearing this, his eyes widened in astonishment.

He forced himself to remain calm and said, "It must be the spell I cast earlier that worked; you just stumbled upon it by accident!"

"Yes, yes, Mr. Gu, it must have been Master Luo who woke the young master up just now, but he didn't wake up immediately, which allowed that little bitch to take advantage of the situation. Please don't be fooled by her!"

Shen Nian glanced at them calmly: "Really? Are you sure?"

"There are several other people in the next ward who are also unconscious. In that case, I would like to trouble Master Luo to wake them up as well."

Upon hearing this, Master Luo's face turned extremely ugly.

The Shen family was about to continue their clamor when Assistant Lu stepped in front of them, saying in a way that left no room for argument, "Mrs. Shen, Mr. Shen, let me remind you, our CEO Gu isn't stupid either."

"Surely you can't even tell who saved the young master."

"Besides, this master's acting skills are indeed rather clumsy. This is Gu's Hospital, not a place for charlatans to perform shamanistic rituals."

"Please leave. I've already called security."

Madam Shen's face turned pale instantly: "No, there must be some misunderstanding. How could it be that little bitch Shen Nian who saved the young master? Mr. Gu, you must have made a mistake!"

Shen Leyao's makeup was completely distorted: "Shen Nian, tell me quickly, what exactly did you do! The master wouldn't make a mistake! It must have been you!"

She rushed forward, intending to strangle Shen Nian.

Do you still want to beat people up like before?

pity.

The real Shen Nian is dead.

The creature now inside her body is an evil spirit that has been suppressed for nearly a thousand years.

Shen Nian smiled and easily reached out to restrain her wrist, preventing her from moving at all. Then, without warning, she forcefully twisted it backward!

Shen Leyao's wrist made a crisp "crack" sound.

The next moment, her screams echoed throughout the entire ward.

Shen Nian's ears hurt from the noise, so she clicked her tongue and kicked Shen Leyao out of the ward.

Shen Leyao tried to struggle, but the hospital security guards grabbed her from both sides.

The security guard looked at Shen Dahai and his wife in the ward and gestured for them to leave: "Please, you two and this... Master, leave our hospital with this young lady."

The Shen family members were driven out of Gu's Hospital in a sorry state, like drowned dogs.

After they left, Shen Nian waved his hand and released a talisman, waking up the other unconscious people at the same time.

After confirming that everyone was healthy, she looked at Gu Qiwen and said, "Alright, now we can talk about terms."

"Come with me."

The conversation took place in the president's office at Gu's Hospital.

Shen Nian and Gu Qiwen sat facing each other, while Assistant Lu stood beside them, serving them tea and water.

Gu Qiwen pushed the checkbook in front of Shen Nian: "Just fill in the amount you want."

Shen Nian glanced at the check and pushed it back.

"Mr. Gu, I want more than just money."

What do you want?

"I want to cooperate with you."

She tapped the check: "Come to think of it, I've saved your idiot brother twice now. I should still have the leverage to negotiate a partnership with you, right? Of course, if you want, I can save your life too."

"However, in this case, it can't be said that I want to cooperate with you; it should be that you beg me to cooperate with you."

Gu Qiwen's expression remained indifferent. He raised his eyelids and glanced at Shen Nian: "Save me? But there's nothing wrong with my body."

Are you sure?

Shen Nian stood up, reached out and pinched Gu Qiwen's chin, her eyes narrowing slightly: "You have clearly been frail and sickly since childhood, always needing medicine. Before you were five years old, you couldn't even get out of bed."

"The Gu family must have had someone calculate your fate, saying that even if you hadn't died young, you wouldn't have lived past thirty, right? But that master must have also said that he could calculate, but he couldn't change your destiny."

"You look no different from anyone else now, but you're just relying on a lot of special drugs to keep going. It's only treating the symptoms, not the root cause. There will come a day when your life will run out."

Hearing this, Gu Qiwen's expression remained unchanged, but Assistant Lu, who was standing next to him, almost dropped his teacup.

How could Miss Shen possibly know these things?!

This is the deepest secret hidden by the Gu family, and even the young master doesn't know it!

Shen Nian withdrew her hand and curled her lips into a smile: "Looks like I wasn't wrong."

"Then I'm probably the only person in this world who can save you—would you like me to save you?"

Assistant Lu had already shakily put down the teacup in his hand.

This Miss Shen... she really isn't afraid of death.

No one had ever dared to threaten Gu Qiwen in such a tone.

"it is good."

However, to Shen Nian and Assistant Lu's surprise, Gu Qiwen readily agreed.

"Miss Shen, please save me."

Shen Nian paused, then chuckled, "You're smart to know what's good for you."

"Now we can discuss the details of the collaboration. In short, I want you to use all of Gu's connections, funds, and resources to pave the way for what I want to do."

"Don't worry, I don't want Gu's shares, nor will I interfere with Gu's other decisions. I'm just doing some things for me."

Assistant Lu: "So what do you want us to do?"

"First, I want to sever all ties with the Shen family."

The Shen family ultimately owed this body a debt of gratitude for raising her. If she doesn't sever ties first, Heaven will not allow her to take revenge on the Shen family.

For practitioners of metaphysics, severing ties, especially kinship ties, is not as simple as just saying it. It requires settling the karmic debts and having heaven, earth, and human witnesses to truly sever the karmic ties.

In order for someone to become a witness, they must have a connection with the Shen family.

Assistant Lu pondered for a moment and said, "Then I will hold a charity banquet in the name of thanking the young master for saving his life, and invite all the wealthy families in Jinghai. At that time, Miss Shen can sever ties with the Shen family directly at the banquet."

The wealthy and powerful families in Jinghai are all extremely rich and influential, and among them are business partners with interests related to the Shen family. As witnesses, they are qualified.

The group discussed and finalized some other details. Afterward, Shen Nian took out a jade gourd from her pocket and handed it to Gu Qiwen:

"This is the Jade Spirit Pill, which can alleviate your physical pain for now. As for the problem with your destiny, I will resolve it gradually."

"I'm going back now. Just let me know if there's any progress."

Assistant Lu stood up to see her out: "The reward of fifty million for saving the young master will be transferred to your account shortly. Is there anything else you need?"

Shen Nian thought for a moment: "The candy is nice, do you have any more?"

Assistant Lu: "...Yes, I'll send it to you in a bit."
