Be Gentle, My Master

“Is this really going to work? It doesn’t seem too different from the previous method,” Sima Liuyue was somewhat skeptical.

“Don’t worry, Miss Sima.

I’m just making some initial technique modifications right now.

Although there aren’t major changes to the mastery itself, the techniques you’ve learned so far are sufficient for you as a client.”

“I’ll teach you deeper skills later, but first, you have to trust me.

You can go and try it out.

See if it works before we discuss further.”

“Since that’s the case, then wait for me.

I’ll come back to you after I’ve tried it.”

After speaking, Sima Liuyue glanced at Lu Xuening and stood up to leave the room.

Lu Xuening watched Sima Liuyue’s departing figure with a smile, a hint of contempt in her expression.

The threats contained within her words were not few.

If it still didn’t work after the trial, she probably expected to be thrown out upon her return.

But how could it possibly fail?

…

About an hour later, Sima Liuyue returned to the wooden hut.

There was a smile on her face this time, and her attitude was noticeably softer.

Watching Sima Liuyue sit down, Lu Xuening didn’t need to ask to know that she had succeeded.

“Miss Sima, how did the trial go?” Lu Xuening feigned ignorance as she approached and asked.

She knew that someone as proud as Sima Liuyue needed others to be more proactive to cater to her.

“Not too bad, I just visited that client, and he signed the contract on the spot.” She hadn’t expected hypnotism to be so potent.

If she could study it more in-depth, wouldn’t she be able to cut through obstacles and dominate Jin City in the business world?

“It seems the effects of the hypnotism aren’t bad at all. Miss Sima is indeed smart, catching on so quickly.”

Lu Xuening offered a few timely compliments, yet there seemed to be a hint of doubt as well.

“Only, I wonder, now that the client has signed, how will you make him willing to fulfill the contract once he is clear-headed?”

Upon hearing Lu Xuening mention this, Sima Liuyue’s expression immediately shifted.

“I have my own ways, you don’t need to worry. Just teach me the powerful techniques.”

Clearly, Sima Liuyue did not trust her enough to discuss matters involving commercial secrets.

Lu Xuening quickly nodded in agreement.

“I’m sorry, Miss Sima.

I won’t ask about these things in the future.”

She paused before continuing, “Just, in the future, please share more about yourself with me, so I can tailor the methods to fit your unique attributes.”

Not giving her any more chance to doubt, Lu Xuening pressed on, “To achieve true hypnotism, it’s certainly not a matter of just a few minutes or a couple of days.”

“A real master should be able to hypnotize someone for a lifetime, making them never fully awake to this matter, yet without affecting their normal life.”

She looked at Sima Liuyue, smiling faintly, “Miss Sima, do you understand what I’m saying?”

“Are you saying you want to know everything about my past?” Sima Liuyue looked at her, the bells of caution sounding again in her heart.

“Of course, but I have my conditions.” To avoid suspicion, Lu Xuening immediately put on a fierce and resentful expression, “I can teach you everything I know, but after everything is done, you must give me ten million.”

“You want to flee far away?” Is ten million enough?

“No.” Lu Xuening took a deep breath before grinding her teeth and saying, “I want to hire someone to kill that woman. I must kill her!”
