Chapter 236: 236 big enough temptation

"If Mu Hanyan were still as foolishly rich as before, they could retry the old trick. However, with his current cultivation level, if he were to lose control, the consequences would be much more severe, and even Mu Rui’an might not be able to save him."

"Unfortunately, after Mu Hanyan regained consciousness from his fainting episode, he seemed to become much more enlightened. His mind became sharper, and with the lesson learned from before, this trick might not work anymore."

"The most critical issue now is that Fourth Miss Zhao no longer wants to take risks. Although she didn’t directly get involved in the previous incident and had others do her bidding, City Lord Mu Rui’an is no ordinary man and quickly uncovered the trickery involved. Although the City Lord didn’t overtly trouble them, the Zhao Family’s business faced unprecedented difficulties during that time, clearly orchestrated by the City Lord. Eventually, the Head of the Zhao Family had to personally present a copious gift as an apology, and Fourth Miss Zhao was grounded for a month before the matter was considered settled."

"’That might not necessarily be true. As they say, it is easier to change rivers and mountains than one’s nature. Mu Hanyan has merely been disciplined by you enough to remember some lessons, but his nature hasn’t changed. With a big enough temptation, I believe she would surely repeat her mistakes," Zhao Sinin said confidently."

"A big enough temptation? The last secret manual cost me 3,000 taels of Silver to prepare, and looking back, it still had flaws. Mu Hanyan is no longer the foolish, rich youngster he once was; he has grown and seen much more. The Mu Family, being a great family, has likely shown him many treasures over the years. Where would we find a large enough temptation?" Fourth Miss Zhao shook her head helplessly."

"If Mu Hanyan was just a spoiled, naive child back then, things would be different. But now, Fourth Miss Zhao finds him rather cunning and shrewd; he’s not so easily fooled anymore!"

"Leave it to me, you just relax," Uncle Zhao said confidently."

Fourth Miss Zhao’s heart stirred. Though Zhao Sinin’s strength was average, he was a standout student at Zhengying Academy, and his peculiar Alchemy Artifacts had already shown his uniqueness. His insights and experiences definitely surpassed those of the Family members. His confidence meant the plan could be promising."

"Brother Sinin, Xian’er has seen all your kindness, and I don’t know how to repay you..." Fourth Miss Zhao fought back her urge to vomit and feigned a moved expression, even her eyes shimmering with touched tears."

"Marry me! Marry me!" Uncle Zhao trembled all over, his eyes glowing green with excitement."

"I can only engrave it in my heart, and never forget," Fourth Miss Zhao continued earnestly."

"What? Not marry me! That’s not right, after saying she didn’t know how to repay, shouldn’t it be followed by offering to marry? How did it turn into engraving in her heart?" Uncle Zhao stopped shaking, and his eyes stopped glowing green, standing there disappointed."

"Brother Sinin, I know your intentions, but my current status is still not worthy of you. When our Zhao Family becomes the top family of Heishi City, and takes over the City Lord’s position, I will... I will..." Here Fourth Miss Zhao’s face flushed, shyly throwing herself into Zhao Sinin’s arms."

Like a Goddess from a dream throwing herself into his arms, Uncle Zhao felt his blood boiling, his disappointment instantly swept away. Although Fourth Miss Zhao had not finished her sentence, the rest could be imagined; surely, it included promises of growing old together."

At this moment, Uncle Zhao was head over heels, completely forgetting the recent lesson; the Goddess in front of him didn’t play by the rules."
