Chapter 873: Can't Afford to Be Less Guarded

Lu Xuening didn’t panic; a glint flashed in her eyes, and she let out a soft chuckle.

“Miss Sima, don’t be anxious.

Think about it, even a person as formidable as Dongfang Jin was still hypnotized by me.”

“I did say it’s harder to hypnotize those with strong wills, but that doesn’t mean there’s no way to hypnotize them.”

“What’s the way?” Sima Liuyue looked at her askance.

“To succeed requires enhancing the abilities and skills of the person casting the spell; only when the ability and skill levels of the caster are raised can they easily control another’s consciousness.”

Hearing this, Sima Liuyue slowly sat back down and continued listening to Lu Xuening’s explanation.

“Miss Sima, many of Bei Miao’s secret techniques need to be passed down.

The same technique requires continuous guidance from a master to achieve the best effect.”

Sima Liuyue raised an eyebrow, “How to guide?”

“Mind-to-mind connection,” Lu Xuening said four words, then paused, lowering her gaze to watch Sima Liuyue’s reaction.

Sima Liuyue’s brows furrowed slightly, her voice tinged with displeasure, “Don’t beat around the bush; speak quickly.”

“The term ‘mind-to-mind connection’ means that the master must fully understand their disciple’s matters.

Only then can they impart the essence that the disciple can absorb.”

“In Bei Miao, when we study hypnotism, a disciple needs to live with their master for a long time; only by truly understanding can one learn the essence.”

Sima Liuyue’s doubts surfaced, her gaze locked onto Lu Xuening’s eyes as if trying to discern the truth behind her words.

Although it was said that Bei Miao’s secret techniques were powerful and mysterious, she still harbored wariness towards Lu Xuening.

Lu Xuening, however, did not shy away; she met Sima Liuyue’s gaze calmly and said with a smile.

“Miss Sima, rest assured, we can do a simple test, and then you will know whether it’s true or not.”

“I wonder if Miss Sima would tell me in detail about some matters between you, the Sima Clan, and that client—the more detailed, the better.”

“Why do you need to know these things?” The woman, Lu Xuening, one could tell just by looking into her eyes that she was indeed full of cunning schemes.

Against such a person, one could never be too careful.

But Lu Xuening continued to face her openly, as if she truly were that transparent.

“Once I know these details, I can tailor the hypnotism accordingly and then teach it to you so that you can try again to see if it works.”

Lu Xuening’s words plunged Sima Liuyue into thought, weighing whether to trust her or not.

This client wasn’t a key one for the Sima Clan; even if Lu Xuening had ulterior motives, the loss to the Sima Clan wouldn’t be substantial.

But if Lu Xuening were playing Sima Liuyue, then she would make sure Lu Xuening met with a particularly ugly end.

True or false, the test would tell.

Finally, Sima Liuyue began to share some past occurrences between her family and that client, as well as details about their cooperation.

After Sima Liuyue finished, Lu Xuening nodded confidently and said.

“Rest assured, given your past interaction with him, achieving control over him for a few minutes won’t be difficult.”

“With some minor adjustments to the method and reteaching it to you, you can go and try.”

With that, she began to explain some changes in the implementation of hypnotism.

This time, Lu Xuening’s changes mainly focused on techniques, teaching Sima Liuyue how to observe others and seize the optimal moment for hypnotism.

This would allow the client to fall into a deep sleep immediately and not wake up so quickly.
