The matrix in Shen Yu's hand vibrated again, emitting a bright blue light. A translucent circular protective shield appeared around him, and the fallen stones turned into ashes in an instant.

Tsk, is it because there's a spell attached to the stone...

What about this?

Chu Yao applied his spiritual power to his right hand, tightly grasped the lamppost beside him, and then, under Shen Yu's incredulous gaze, broke it into two halves, turning it into a weapon in his hand!

She held the lamp pole with both hands and swung it directly towards Chen Yu with amazing strength!

If he was hit this time, he would be half-crippled if not dead. Shen Yu was forced into a corner and kept retreating to avoid the attack from the lamppost.

"Chu Xiaoye! You can't kill me! I've already told my deputy about my coming here. If my identity is exposed, everyone around you will be in trouble!"

"..." Chu Yao's face looked extremely ugly. After all her calculations, she still fell into his trap!

Maybe there is another way, which is to use soul search to turn him into a vegetable directly... but we have to get rid of the "matrix" in his hand first.

His cultivation is still too low. If he is now at the ninth level of Qi Refining, or has reached the perfection of Qi Refining, Chu Yao can use some spiritual means to directly tamper with this person's memory.

"I hate it most when people use this to threaten me. In the past, I would have turned someone like you into a human puppet."

Chu Yao raised the street lamp in her hand and pointed it straight at Chen Yu. "What deal do you want to make? Tell me quickly."

"Huh." Seeing that the other party had finally calmed down a little, Shen Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"You know, even if I wanted to capture a psychic like you, I'd be powerless. If I hadn't had this layer of protection, I would have been killed by you with those rocks... So I'm really not here to capture you, I promise."

"Get to the point."

"I think..." Chen Yu's expression changed several times, but he finally gritted his teeth and decided to tell the truth.

"I want you to be a helper to my family."

"Hmm?" Chu Yao was a little surprised by this answer.

Then, she learned a not-so-short story from Shen Yu.

As we all know, the highest institutions of the Tianren civilization are divided into the Great Council, the Arbitration Bureau and the Secretariat.

Among them, the Great House is divided into the House of Lords represented by the aristocracy and the House of Commons represented by the common people, as well as conservatives and radicals.

The head of the Shen family, Shen Yu's father, Shen Dongke, is the representative of the radical new class in the House of Commons.

The House of Commons was originally in decline, but with the advancement and development of science and technology in the last few hundred years, the emerging class represented by planetary colonists (interstellar companies) and scientific and technological scholars has gradually risen, allowing the House of Commons to gain more and more voice and occupy an increasingly important position.

Naturally, the conservatives in the House of Representatives would not let the so-called "emerging class" get their way so easily. Struggle was inevitable, and the Shen family, who were at the center of the storm, bore the brunt and became the target of public criticism.

The Shen family's situation was deteriorating, and a large amount of family property was divided up and eroded. Shen Yu, who was supposed to take over his father's business, was secretly "exiled" to Lingyuan Star under such circumstances.

"In other words, you've noticed my potential and want me to help your family fight for something?"

"That's about it. I had given up the idea of ​​going home after receiving such an almost 'impossible' task." Chen Yu sighed.

"But you're different from any psychic I've encountered before. Less than half a year after arriving in Tianhai City, you've already taken control of an entire city block. Even for entrepreneurs, this kind of thing wouldn't be easy. I really admire your skills and wisdom."

"That's not a reason. If you're looking for ambitious people, there are plenty of them in Tianhai City. Nie Haofeng, Liu Shengnan, or Zhou Cheng and Ding Nan are all good options.

You chose me because I'm a psyker, right?"

Shen Yu was silent for a while and nodded slightly.

"Then I'm even more curious." Chu Yao played with the light pole in her hand like a pen. "Psychics are your mortal enemies. Do you trust me so much?"

"That's all outdated almanac. Even among the celestial beings, not all of them are hostile to psychics." Shen Yu carefully considered his words, trying not to offend the killing god in front of him.

"Even the 'Immortal-Mortal War' happened over two thousand years ago. At the Research Center, psychic power research has reached its limit and cannot be advanced any further. As for those old-timers in the Senate, psychic power is, well, just a tool for them."

"Tool..." Chu Yao tilted her head and repeated the word.

"Chu Xiaoye, I think you will definitely not be willing to stop at Lingyuan Star, right? With my help, you can develop your own power on Lingyuan Star more smoothly. Even if you use some superhuman means, I will not ask. I can help you keep your secret. And in return,"

"The price is that when I truly rise to prominence, I will help your Shen family eliminate all their enemies, and even help your father become prime minister." Chu Yao finished the rest of the sentence for Shen Yu. "Right?"

"That's right."

"This isn't something that can be accomplished overnight. Since you call us psychics the long-lived species, you should also know that we have a very long lifespan, so we can afford to wait for anything.

But you can't wait. I can take two or three hundred years to develop slowly, but by that time, the House of Representatives will have changed several times, and your Shen family may have already disappeared.

Besides, you think too highly of me. Not to mention the various families you mentioned, I'm already struggling to handle even the Yali Company. If I'm right, I'm just one of the bargaining chips you've identified, right?"
