Shen Yunhao returned to his small courtyard, which was still as quiet as ever, almost devoid of any human activity.
"Come on, come on!"
After calling out twice, Laifu finally emerged from behind a small room, rubbing his eyes as if he had just woken up.
"Hmm... Young Master, you're back... I'll go get you lunch." Lai Fu yawned and walked outside.
After eating and drinking to their hearts' content, Shen Yunhao stood at the doorway, thought for a moment, and said to Laifu beside him, "Laifu, you stand at the door. If I shout loudly in a moment, you quickly rush in and help me hold this box down!"
"Huh?" Laifu was a little confused, but he still patted his chest and said, "Young Master, don't worry. If there is any danger, I, Laifu, will definitely be the first to rush to your aid and protect your safety!"
"Hmm! Not bad!"
Shen Yunhao walked into the room and closed the door. He stood there for four or five seconds, then suddenly roared.
"ah!!"
"ah!!"
Laifu, who was outside the door, also shouted loudly, but after waiting for a long time, no one came in.
Shen Yunhao pushed open the door and saw that Laifu had already disappeared without a trace...
"Damn it, that bastard runs really fast!" Shen Yunhao cursed angrily and slammed the door shut.
When he arrived at the table, he wasn't particularly afraid and simply opened the wooden box.
If Ning Yuyao truly intended to harm me, why would she hide this item in the Ning residence...?
...
Meanwhile, in a luxurious restaurant in Lin Yuan City, the middle-aged man once again found the young palace master who had not yet left.
"Young Palace Master guessed correctly. That little brat from the Shen family did indeed go to the Ning residence for his homecoming today and wasn't kicked out. Ning Yuan's attitude is probably not as resolute as we imagined."
The young man sat at the banquet, picked up his wine cup and drank it all in one gulp. A wicked sneer appeared on his lips: "What's a fat old man? If he weren't Ning Yuyao's father, I wouldn't even give him a second glance! What I want to know is Ning Yuyao's attitude!"
"This..." The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment: "I heard that Ning Yuyao went back to the Ning residence before she left and left something for that boy from the Shen family..."
As expected, upon hearing this, the young palace master slammed the wine cup in his hand to the ground, his already gloomy face now displaying a more ferocious expression.
"Very well! So this so-called annulment of the engagement was just a grand scheme to deceive me!"
The man laughed angrily: "You worthless piece of trash, I thought you had the self-awareness to insist on breaking off the engagement, so I kindly let you live a few more years. But now... since you insist on touching those unattainable things, I'll let you understand that ants... have no choice!"
"Today is the day the Ghost Spring opens. Once Ning Yuyao goes into seclusion, it will take at least six months, and possibly as long as two years. So... during this time, no one in this world will care about the life or death of an ant..."
Seeing this, the middle-aged man lowered his head and remained silent.
The assassination should have been carried out much earlier, but that kid insisted on making a fuss about breaking off the engagement a while ago, which made the young palace master hesitate for a few days.
After all, he didn't really want to attract the attention of the Moon Palace unless absolutely necessary.
As a result, the engagement could not be called off until the wedding day. The young palace master then sent someone to poison Shen Yunhao, hoping to make him drunk to death.
The effects of the Soul-Separating Intoxication are extremely unique. Even if a professional physician examines the patient, they can only diagnose that the poisoned person is intoxicated, unaware that their soul has already left their body, leaving only a shell.
Unexpectedly, he got drunk, but in the bridal chamber.
And three days later, Ning Yuyao left in a huff, and the boy miraculously came back to life!
This has led to the current situation. The young master is still furious, and this kid is probably in big trouble...
...
Upon opening the wooden box at the Shen residence, Shen Yunhao saw a paper book and a small silk bag inside, which seemed to contain several round objects.
There is nothing else.
"What do you mean? You think I have nothing to do at home all day and want me to read more books to pass the time?"
Shen Yunhao was stunned for a moment, then picked up the book first. On the cover were four big characters: "Return to Origin Breathing".
"This looks so fantastical..."
He flipped through the pages, but the more he read, the more shocked he became.
This is actually a very basic cultivation technique!
The so-called cultivation techniques are methods for absorbing and refining the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and transforming it into one's own spiritual energy, thereby improving one's cultivation level. They are essential for every cultivator.
Simply put, it's a textbook that teaches you how to cultivate yourself.
According to the book, this Guiyuan Breathing Technique is currently the most widely used introductory cultivation technique, suitable for human cultivators at almost all stages.
So it's not exactly precious; it's the kind of book that every disciple of a cultivation sect has.
Although it's nothing special in the cultivation world, it felt like opening the door to a new world for Shen Yunhao.
This book not only teaches you how to cultivate step by step, but also introduces the levels and classifications of cultivation.
This is undoubtedly very attractive to Shen Yunhao, who has experience in the 21st century.
Just like when a child first learns, they can't help but flip through those vivid textbooks before the teacher teaches them, satisfying their curiosity about knowledge.
Shen Yunhao is currently in this state.
Just as I was about to start reading, something suddenly came to mind.
"Wait...aren't I a useless person? What's the point of looking at this thing? It's like an old sow climbing a tree...helpless?"
But after only two seconds of hesitation, he decisively waved his hand: "Oh well, who cares! It's not illegal to look, and it's good to learn something new..."
