"Okay," Ling Ran thought for a moment. He could only use a mysterious demeanor to deceive someone like Yamazaki Masaru. "But he does have talent. I'll guide him through a cycle, and he'll start to function on his own."

"Are you stupid?"

Zhou Xiang's disdain made Ling Ran look up, "What's wrong?"

"Although he is old, he has been eating immortal herbs for decades. Even if he has no talent, he will be accumulated by immortal herbs."

"Yeah," Ling Ran slapped his forehead, "I forgot, but why did you ask me to learn martial arts?"

"Let the tiger go back to the mountains," Zhou Xiang said excitedly. "The higher his talent, the better. If he succeeds, we can control him with the puppet pills and let him go back to Country R to stir up trouble. It's their own internal strife and has nothing to do with us."

Seeing Ling Ran's worried look, Zhou wanted to know what he was worried about. "Don't worry, the puppet pill has improved. Besides, even if he surpasses us, he won't be able to escape the control of the puppet pill like Kong Qianchen in his previous life."

At the end of her previous life, how high was Kong Qianchen's martial arts ability? And she was still an ordinary person.

Ling Ran also figured it out. "Well, we still have to continue brainwashing Yamazaki Zheng and make him understand that what we practice is immortal magic, and that his immortal magic will fail without us."

"Yes, if it gets out of control, we can use the powder to arrest him."

"Alright!" Ling Ran stood up. "Let Yamazaki Masaru take revenge on the Fujiwara clan. We'll find a time to deal with the Heike clan."

"How are the cases of the Wan family and the Ping family going?"

"The whole city is buzzing, and a case has been opened for investigation. I told Grandpa," Ling Ran scratched his head. "After all, the Wan family is his son-in-law's family. If I didn't tell him, he would definitely investigate, and he might even use his connections. Only after he knew I had taken all the money did he feel so confident in letting me do whatever I wanted."

"Just tell me," Zhou Xiang didn't care. In this life, Ling Ran wanted to borrow the power of Mr. Ling, so he had to reveal some of his cards.

"I noticed that both males have shiny ones. Could the ones in your grandfather's hand all be shiny?"

"Yes! Twelve Liang, twelve Juan."
