If Mu Hanyan was still as foolish and rich as before, he could use the same trick again. But with his current level of cultivation, if he went astray, the consequences would be much more serious, and even Mu Ruian might not be able to save him.
Unfortunately, after Mu Hanyan woke up from her coma, she seemed to have come to her senses and her mind became much sharper. In addition, with the experience gained from the previous incident, this trick is unlikely to be of any use.
And the most crucial issue: Miss Zhao Si didn't want to take any more risks. Although she hadn't been directly involved in the previous incident, instead instigating others to do it, the City Lord, Mu Ruian, was no pushover and quickly uncovered the underlying sleight of hand. While the City Lord hadn't openly troubled them, the Zhao family's business was struggling during that period, a move that was undoubtedly the City Lord's doing. It was only when the Zhao family's patriarch, with generous gifts, personally apologized and placed Miss Zhao Si under house arrest for a month that the matter was finally resolved.
"That's not necessarily true. As the saying goes, it's easier to change the country than to change one's nature. Mu Hanyan has just been dealt with by you so many times that she has learned her lesson. Her nature will not change. As long as there is a big enough temptation, I believe she will repeat the same mistake." Zhao Sining said confidently.
"A big enough temptation? That secret manual cost me three thousand taels of silver to create. Now that I think about it, there are still some flaws. Mu Hanyan is no longer the foolish, wealthy little playboy she once was. She's grown up and experienced more. The Mu family is a large family after all. He's probably seen many rare treasures over the years. Where can he find a big enough temptation?" Miss Zhao Si shook her head, saying helplessly. Back then, Mu Hanyan was just a spoiled brat, childish. Now, Miss Zhao Si felt that Mu Hanyan was somewhat cunning and treacherous. How could she be so easily fooled?
"Leave this matter to me, don't worry." Uncle Zhao said confidently.
Miss Zhao Si's heart moved. Although Zhao Si Ning's strength was average, he was still an elite of Zhengying Academy. Those magical alchemical artifacts he had previously demonstrated his uniqueness. In terms of knowledge and experience, he was definitely much more knowledgeable than the children of these families. Since he was so confident, it must be reliable.
"Brother Si Ning, I have seen how good you are to Xian'er. I don't know how I can ever repay you for your kindness..." Miss Zhao Si resisted the urge to vomit and pretended to be moved, with tears of emotion flashing in her eyes.
"Promise me your body, promise me your body." Uncle Zhao was so excited that his whole body was shaking and his eyes were shining green.
"I can only keep it in my heart and never forget it." Miss Zhao Si continued with deep emotion.
"What, not pledge yourself to me? That's not right. That's not what you said. I don't know how to repay you, so shouldn't I pledge myself to you? How come it's something you've engraved in your heart?" Uncle Zhao stopped shaking, his eyes no longer glowed green, and he stood there with a look of disappointment on his face.
"Brother Si Ning, I know your feelings, but my current status is not worthy of you. When our Zhao family becomes the number one family in Black Stone City and occupies the position of city lord, I will definitely... definitely..." Miss Zhao Si blushed when she said this, and threw herself into Zhao Si Ning's arms shyly.
The goddess in his dream threw herself into his arms, and Uncle Zhao felt his blood boiling, and all his disappointments were swept away. Although Miss Zhao Si didn't finish her words, it was easy to imagine what she would say next, which must be a promise to grow old together with you.
At this time, Uncle Zhao was so infatuated that he completely forgot the lesson he had just learned. The goddess in front of him did not play by the rules.
