Capítulo 1825: Chapter 1814: Ti for a Wake-Up Call
“There’s no need to stand on ceremony. As I once said, being my subordinate, everyone is like family, there’s no need to distinguish between high and low so clearly.”
Ning Fan glanced at Lin i and said casually, “Lin i, what do you think?”
Upon hearing this, Lin i felt an inexplicable panic in her heart and responded weakly, “Young Ning is right.”
“Lin i, are you used to staying here?”
Lin i replied repeatedly, “I’m used to it, I’m used to it. Thank you for your concern, Young Master.”
“I also think the life here is quite good, your complexion has improved a lot compared to before.”
“Yes, Young Master.”
As she spoke, Lin i subconsciously touched her face, then her complexion suddenly turned pale, and she trembled as she knelt on the ground.
Seeing this, the other won were astonished, unable to figure out the reason for Lin i’s kneeling.
However, Ziyun was naturally calm as she had prepared psychologically for this.
Because Ning Fan instructed that this was a secret inspection, Ziyun did not inform the other sisters about Lin i’s profile.
She simply recorded Lin i’s every word and deed in secret every day.
“Lin i, what are you doing?”
Though he asked this, Ning Fan showed no intention of letting Lin i rise.
Though nominally a subordinate relationship, Ning Fan indeed regarded each subordinate as important as family.
But this relationship requires the other party to consider Ning Fan as family too.
For those like Lin i who deceive and have ulterior motives, Ning Fan wouldn’t foolishly show kindness.
“Young Master, Lin i is guilty and willingly accepts punishnt.”
The other won couldn’t hide their astonishnt upon witnessing this.
Lin i had newly arrived at the Hu Family residence, and although the won were only recently acquainted with her, since she was Ning Fan’s subordinate…
Out of love for Ning Fan, the won did not reject Lin i and instead warmly interacted with her.
After so many days of interaction, they hadn’t noticed anything unusual about Lin i, let alone any cri.
Unlike the astonished expressions of the other won, Shangguan Cai’er seed flustered, showing signs of guilt.
Noticing this, Ning Fan’s gaze darkened.
In terms of scheming, the won present combined were not Lin i’s match.
It was because Ziyun was mature and steady with the deanor of a general that Ning Fan decided to bring Lin i here.
Unexpectedly, the worst outco still occurred—Lin i had actually beguiled these people.
The consolation was that only Shangguan Cai’er had fallen for it temporarily.
However, now was not the ti to address these issues, Ning Fan asked with a half-smile, “Then tell what your cri is?”
While speaking, Ning Fan’s gaze subconsciously drifted to Shangguan Cai’er, who lowered her head like a startled rabbit.
“This…”
Seemingly involved in sothing hard to articulate, Lin i stamred, not daring to speak.
Ning Fan directly asked, “How did your Charm Technique recover?”
Lin i’s Charm Technique was not so simple.
Ordinary Charm Techniques generally refer to spiritual power induced through body gestures or hypnosis,
but Lin i’s Charm Technique differs, involving the operation of True Qi on top of those basics.
This point can be observed from the restoration of Lin i’s appearance.
If relying solely on Charm Technique, it would only create an illusion in the opponent’s mind, not manifest as a real appearance like now.
Lin i’s Dantian had been destroyed, causing her to age instantly to an old crone, and without healing True Qi, her appearance couldn’t have been restored.
In other words, Lin i had unknowingly regained strength through Charm Technique.
Lin i had never ntioned this before, essentially deceiving Ning Fan.
Moreover, at the Hu Family residence, apart from the eight won, there weren’t any n.
Ning Fan simply couldn’t figure out how Lin i executed Charm Technique to regain power to restore her appearance.
“Does Lin i have a trump card? Or found another path to the outside world…”
For a brief mont, thoughts crowded Ning Fan’s mind.
Seeing Ning Fan’s silence, Lin i trembled even more.
Ning Fan asked sternly, “What else don’t I know?”
Lin i glanced guiltily at a certain person and then said, “This is how it happened…”
At this point, Ziyun whispered a few words in Ning Fan’s ear, her face troubled.
“…Young Master, this is how it is. If you must punish, then punish Ziyun, it’s my failure in guidance.”
Looking at the guilty Shangguan Cai’er, a peculiar look flashed in Ning Fan’s eyes, then he shook his head, “What does it have to do with you?”
Ziyun said regretfully, “But it’s ultimately my fault.”
“Alright. Let’s not discuss it anymore.”
Ning Fan waved his hand and spoke to Lin i, “Lin i, this ti I can forgive you. I understand your feelings.”
For a woman, appearance is often more important than life.
Lin i took risks and exposed herself all for this reason.
“But I hope there won’t be a next ti. Do you understand?”
“Thank you, Young Master, for your rcy.”
“Stand up.”
Ning Fan said casually, “I originally planned to help you restore your appearance. Now it seems it saves the effort.”
This was indeed Ning Fan’s truth; if Lin i had perford well, he didn’t mind expending his power to help Lin i regain her youth.
Upon hearing this, Lin i felt a twinge of bitterness, regretting her concealnt.
Though she had patched things with Ning Fan, another rift appeared.
“You all may leave. Ziyun, stay behind.”
Noticing Shangguan Cai’er frequently glancing back, Ning Fan felt an odd sensation, “This mischievous girl really is fearless.”
There is no second path to the outside world in the Hu Family residence, nor any remnants of the Hu Family.
What Ning Fan worried about hadn’t happened.
As for the power Lin i gained through Charm Technique to restore her appearance…
Charm Technique doesn’t necessarily need to be perford between n and won.
Deeply scheming Lin i knew upon arriving at the Hu Family residence and eting these maids the great disparity in identity.
Lin i was aware of the extent Ning Fan trusted the eight won being far beyond her.
She even further speculated Ning Fan’s intention in placing her here.
To survive, to gain the favor of the eight won, Lin i exhausted all efforts to please them.
Except for Ziyun, who had prepared psychologically, the other seven won were no match for Lin i.
Gradually, their relationship grew day by day, becoming close sisters with Lin i, having no secrets.
Observing this, Ziyun rely noted it without intervention.
After all, Ning Fan had said if Lin i passed the inspection, she would beco one of them.
Due to this point, Ziyun never revealed Lin i’s background, afraid it would cause awkwardness later.
Moreover, Lin i’s maneuvers were simply normal social interactions, not deceitful plots, otherwise Ziyun would have exposed her fake mask.
Among them, Shangguan Cai’er was the closest to Lin i.
This bold girl was very curious about matters in the boudoir.
