Girl, let me check it out.

"Why do you seem so happy?"

Xie Lingwan looked at Fang Weihan with some suspicion.

This feeling only flashed by and was quickly put behind her.

"I will soon propose to my father to cancel...our engagement at the right time."

Xie Lingwan bit her red lips lightly, her tone a little unnatural.

It really feels a bit uncomfortable to discuss this kind of thing with my fiancé.

"Then I will remove all obstacles until the day when we can be together without anyone criticizing us."

She said this seriously, with a cold light in her eyes.

"This time may be long, or it may be short..."

"During this period of time, if you have anything to ask me, just let Xiao Jin convey it to me."

"You have to be good during this time, understand?"

Xie Lingwan stared at him with her watery eyes and gave him gentle instructions.

"Understood, but then again, don't you ask how my injury the day before yesterday is doing?"

Fang Weihan nodded slightly, and then said with a smile.

"Humph, you can go out for a stroll in high spirits, why should I ask you questions? Asking you will only make you annoying..."

Xie Lingwan snorted and said unhappily.

The two whispered, and the time passed unconsciously.

The moon is rising higher, the cicadas' chirping fades away, and it's time to say goodbye.

Xie Lingwan pursed her red lips and walked past Fang Weihan, bringing with her a scent of orchid.

"Fang Weihan, thank you for waiting for me."

Xie Lingwan said softly.

“Today, I am very happy.”

Fang Weihan was about to reply when a gust of fragrant wind blew in his face, interrupting him.

The black hair brushed against his ears, and his cheek felt soft and slightly moist.

"This is your reward."

Xie Lingwan ran away in panic without even looking back.

"…husband."

The green bamboos swayed, their shadows slanted horizontally, and only the rustling sound of the bamboo leaves in the wind echoed in the empty courtyard.

Chapter 39: The Iron Rule

"Big victory for the licker."

The small words kept flashing in front of Fang Weihan's eyes.

Why is this thing so annoying?

Fang Weihan had a blank expression on his face; he was already used to it.

Use a copper mirror to adjust your clothes and appearance; use people as a mirror to understand your gains and losses.

Using Yunshu as a mirror... one can know cows and horses.

"Do you know what the 'iron law' is?"

Coming back to his senses from the beauty, Fang Weihan wiped the remaining crystal from his face and asked in a deep voice.

He had never heard of the so-called "iron law" that Xie Lue mentioned.

"I know, but do you really want to know?"

...What nonsense are you talking about?

If I don't want to know, why would I ask you?

When Fang Weihan read this sentence, a series of question marks popped up in his mind unconsciously.

"You should know that all knowledge has its price."

"Just like a teacher teaching and answering questions, he will establish a teacher-student relationship with you. This is to deepen the cause and effect. And the more cause and effect there are, the heavier the shackles of fate will be."

"Some people can break free from this shackle and ascend to heaven; others are pinned down by this shackle and become unable to move, and eventually it backfires on them."

Yun Shu wrote leisurely.

"For secret knowledge like 'The Iron Rule', anyone who learns it will definitely suffer heavy karmic retribution. Do you really want to know it?"

Fang Weihan felt his scalp tingling as he looked at the lines of small characters.

Why are there so many twists and turns?

What I mean is, will it shorten my lifespan if I look up game guides online?

"No."

Yun Shu explained lazily.

"Or the loss of life span is so small that it can be ignored."

"From the perspective of cause and effect, although you know this game strategy, others don't know whether you know this game strategy or not, so the causal impact on you is limited to the strategy itself, and does not involve the human aspect."

"But if you use a loud speaker to shout it all over the world, it will have an impact."

After reading these words, Fang Weihan suddenly understood.

As long as I know a piece of knowledge, but I don’t let others know that I know it, the cause and effect it creates will have no impact on me.

Is that what you mean?

"Unless the knowledge itself is of a very high level, such as the 'iron law' you are asking about."

Yun Shu added.

"Just tell me directly, what effect will this thing have on me if I know it?"

Fang Weihan was a little confused by her and simply asked directly.

"Apart from feeling a little dizzy, there shouldn't be any impact."

Fang Weihan was extremely surprised.

"why?"

"Because I'm Yun Shu, what's there to ask?"

Yun Shu wrote calmly.

Fang Weihan: "..."

He is very good at pretending, and I can't do it to him.

"Then tell me quickly."

Fang Weihan was speechless.

"Okay, but you have to do me a little favor."

"What favor? Forget about anything that goes against my personal principles."

Fang Weihan was extremely alert; he always felt that this artificial intelligence was particularly strange.

Is this not some kind of Omnic Crisis?

"Don't worry, I just asked you to help me find a few small things. It's easy."

"beg me."

Fang Weihan crossed his arms across his chest, his face expressionless.

"Please."

Yun Shu is quick to follow good advice.

Fang Weihan: "..."

"bring it on."

A sharp pain like a needle prick came, and a huge amount of knowledge flooded into Fang Weihan's mind.

Fang Weihan's face was grim. He covered his head with his hands, and beads of cold sweat oozed out of his forehead.

It felt like someone was stapleing his brain.

Is this fucking dizzy?

I don’t know how long it took for the pain to gradually disappear.

Fang Weihan was leaning against the courtyard wall, his clothes were soaked with cold sweat and stuck to his body.

"Yun Shu, did you know that your research subject was almost gone?"

Fang Weihan asked weakly.

"I've calculated it. You won't die. Don't worry."

Fang Weihan decided never to believe her lies again.

He calmed down and sorted out the knowledge he had just acquired.

The Chenjun Xie family is one of the eight surnames of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and its main sphere of influence is concentrated in the business sector.

They have influence in various industries including money shops, salt and iron, catering, and entertainment, and are undoubtedly the richest family in the world. Even the head of the aristocratic families, the Uehara Wang family, is far behind them.

The secret of their success lies in this "iron law".

The Iron Law of Stone and Gold is a spiritual spell passed down secretly by the Xie family of Chen County.

Using a piece of gold and a piece of stone as a guide, we communicated with the laws of heaven and earth and established a contract that would last forever.

The two parties to the contract must not violate the terms of the contract at all, and not even the slightest thought of violating it will arise.

This kind of magic is much more powerful than any written agreement. A written agreement can only barely restrict people's behavior, but this thing can directly restrict people's thoughts and solve the problem of breach of contract from the root.

The Xie family of Chen County would add a clause after every business agreement that "the contents related to the 'Golden Stone and Iron Law' shall not be disclosed in any form", and they built their own business empire relying on this secret method.

Therefore, there are almost no records of ironclad laws in the world.

People just thought that the Xie family had excellent business acumen and thus built such a huge family business.

Combining this knowledge with Xie Lingwan's anxious but speechless expression at the time, Fang Weihan understood everything.

It seems that Xie Lue had set an iron rule for Xie Lingwan at that time: "Do not tell this matter to outsiders."

Perhaps they were afraid that clan leader Xie Mingren would find out, or perhaps it was the remaining family affection that made them not dare to do anything more extreme.

“This is too outrageous.”

Fang Weihan said with a frown.

"What if the Xie family goes around the world looking for people to sign contracts with? Wouldn't that mean they can rule the world directly?"

"Otherwise, this ironclad rule is actually a castrated and weakened version of the ancient masters' sophistry."

"At that time, the top master of the famous family, Gongsun Long, who was at the eighth level, could even confuse people with just a few words. People thought it was a witchcraft, so they united with hundreds of families to fight and destroy it. The skills of the famous family have been lost since then."

"As for this ironclad rule, it can only take effect if both parties are willing. If one party disagrees, it will have no effect at all."

Yun Shu wrote another short essay and uploaded it.

Fang Weihan watched with great interest.

This is completely different from the pre-Qin history he is familiar with.

You know what, this Yun Shu can be used as a storybook.

Quite interesting.

Fang Weihan stretched lazily, feeling a wave of fatigue.

I'm really exhausted today, I'm going to take a shower and go to bed.
