If it had been a matter of leaving Yan County to carry out missions, that would have been fine, but Wang Qingci stayed in Yan County for half a month and did not leave at all.
Staying in Yan County for half a month without returning to the Prince's Mansion, she clearly did not regard him as the master at all, so a punishment was definitely in order.
During this time, Chu Qingli had completely accustomed herself to life in the Prince's Mansion.
Moreover, she gradually found herself unwilling to leave the North Prince Mansion.
Originally, she came to convince her sister to leave the North Prince Mansion with her and lead a life for just the two of them. Instead, she began entertaining the idea of staying herself.
This made Chu Qingli somewhat unable to accept; she always felt that she was being seduced by some mysterious power.
Otherwise, how could she possibly have such thoughts?
Chu Qingli patrolled while analyzing what power might be seducing her.
Before long, she patrolled to the entrance of the study.
Without even approaching the study, she heard some groaning noises.
While Chu Qingli was deep in thought about why she wanted to stay, the sounds made her furrow her brows slightly, and her expression suddenly turned exceedingly cold.
That lecherous fiend was up to no good again.
She really did not understand how he could have such boundless energy every day; since her arrival at the North Prince Mansion, she had not seen that scoundrel quiet down even for a day.
Yet from her observations, not a single woman in the mansion seemed to be troubled. Not only were they untroubled, but they appeared even more radiant and beautiful the day after being with that scoundrel.
Although she did not understand the specific principles involved or what was going on, Chu Qingli was very clear that what Lu Chen was practicing could not possibly be some Devilish Skill like the Happy Union Skill.
If Lu Chen practiced Devilish Skill with his abilities, the women of the inner court of the mansion would probably have turned into dried corpses long ago.
At this moment, Chu Qingli's mind blanked.
Ever since her arrival at the mansion, she had always heard that Lu Chen was someone blessed by the Immortal.
If the Cultivation Technique that Lu Chen was practicing was an Immortal Law that only brought benefits and no harm to people, then that could explain the situation with Lu Chen and his concubines.
With this thought, a new association suddenly appeared in Chu Qingli's mind.
If Lu Chen truly had a destiny with the Immortal, then the Immortal Technique he obtained couldn't possibly only be one kind, right? He had done so many bad things to his women, yet none of his concubines bore any resentment towards him.
Moreover, Lu Chen's women seemed to be extremely fond of him, as if they were under hypnosis.
Could there be a possibility that among the Immortal inheritance Lu Chen received, there was an Immortal Technique capable of hypnotizing others into willingly staying?
She's cracked the case! The reason she wanted to stay must undoubtedly be because of that lecherous fiend!
In truth, Chu Qingli was speculating about Lu Chen with the utmost malice, but her intuition was a bit too on the nose, inadvertently guessing part of the reason for her psychological change.
Lu Chen obviously had no knowledge of hypnotism, Chu Qingli thought this way mainly because of her experience in the Jianghu (martial world). Being an assassin, she was well aware there were Cultivation Techniques in the martial world capable of hypnotizing people—it's just that she didn't know them personally.
Chu Qingli now thought it must be that lecherous fiend who had surreptitiously used some form of hypnotism on her, otherwise how could she ever think of staying?
That's right, his women were tormented by him day after day; how could they possibly not harbor any resentment towards him? It turned out he was using such despicable means!
No, she had to make her sister see the evil side of this man!
Of course, the most important thing was to help her sister escape this sea of misery and elope far away with her.
Having thought this through, Chu Qingli cast a glance at the study and began to plot how to break Lu Chen's hypnotism.
