Chapter 164 Repeating the same trick
An Yi and An Shi suddenly stopped moving and looked at Su Chenyin with suspicion.
Everyone else also looked confused and turned their eyes to Su Chenyin, eagerly waiting for her next words.
Su Chenyin raised her red lips slightly, walked to Lu Yingqiu and Qu Hewan, placed one hand on their heads, and slowly closed her eyes.
Except for Jun Yijue, everyone present couldn't help but frown in confusion when witnessing Su Chenyin's actions.
"Hey, what is my cousin doing?" Lu Ziche patted Jun Yijue's shoulder and asked curiously.
Jun Yijue did not answer directly, but just smiled mysteriously, signaling everyone to be patient.
Su Chenyin gently pressed her palms on the top of Lu Yingqiu and Qu Hewan's heads, and traces of spiritual power visible to the naked eye flowed out from her fingertips and slowly poured into the minds of the two.
Their bodies suddenly began to tremble and expressions of pain appeared on their faces.
"Is this... soul-searching technique?" Lu Jingting looked at Su Chenyin in surprise, his eyes almost popping out.
"That's right." Jun Yijue nodded, his gentle gaze always on Su Chenyin.
When the others heard this, they were stunned and their mouths opened so wide that an egg could fit in them.
They didn't expect that Su Chenyin could actually perform soul-searching techniques.
Soul-searching is a mysterious and unfathomable ancient secret technique that can read and modify human memories.
The soul-searching technique is extremely difficult to practice, and it is even more difficult to master. Not only does it require an extremely high level of control over spiritual power, but it also requires strong mental strength and consciousness.
They never dreamed that Su Chenyin was so proficient in soul-searching techniques.
What is even more shocking is that she can actually search the souls of two people at once. This is truly jaw-dropping and amazing.
“Hiss~” Lu Yanchen gasped in shock and stammered, “My cousin…she is so amazing.”
The others also nodded in agreement.
In fact, what they didn’t know was that the reason why Su Chenyin was able to search the souls of two people at once was because she had practiced the "Nine Heavens Soul Refining Art" to the fifth level last night.
After reaching the fifth level, not only can one search the memories of two people at once, but one can also delete and modify their memories within three days, and even implant new memories.
Moreover, after the person's soul is searched by Su Chenyin, as long as Su Chenyin is willing, that person will not become a fool.
In a moment, Su Chenyin had completely read all the memories of Lu Yingqiu and Qu Hewan.
At this moment, a cold smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and a flame of anger was hidden in her tightly closed eyes.
From the memories of Lu Yingqiu and her daughter, Su Chenyin learned that they had killed many innocent people over the years.
The holy bones in their bodies were all dug out from other people and then transplanted.
Not only that, they also regularly look for people with extraordinary talents and special physiques for a mysterious organization.
However, as far as they could remember, Su Chenyin had not found any information about this mysterious organization.
The reason why Lu Yingqiu knew the forbidden technique of replacing spirit bones was that it was given to her by a man in black from this mysterious organization.
Moreover, Lu Yingqiu had an affair with this man in black.
However, what surprised Su Chenyin was that Lu Yingqiu and her daughter's husband/father, Qu Hongbin, was completely unaware of the evil deeds committed by them.
When Qu Hongbin was young, he was a handsome and suave man who often frequented red-light districts.
However, since he got married and had children, he gradually became more restrained, devoted to his family responsibilities, and doted on his daughter.
He had no idea that his wife and daughter had committed such an unforgivable crime.
In Lu Yingqiu's memory, she had intended to marry the emperor of Luoyang Empire, Dongfang Jing, who was Dongfang Yu's father.
If she marries Dongfang Jing, she will not only have inexhaustible cultivation resources, but also status and supreme power.
Moreover, she can accomplish many things with her power as queen.
However, Dongfang Jing had no love for her. The person he loved was Dongfang Yu's mother.
This is because Dongfang Yu's mother's family's power and strength are comparable to that of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.
Therefore, when Dongfang Jing married Dongfang Yu's mother, no one in the royal family of Luoyang Empire opposed it. Instead, they fully agreed.
Since its founding, the Luoyang Empire has established an ancestral precept: the emperor of the Luoyang Empire can only have one wife and is not allowed to have a harem.
At the same time, every generation of emperors of the Luoyang Empire who wanted to ascend the throne, the first thing they did was to swear an oath to the rules of heaven and earth on this ancestral precept.
Dongfang Jing married Dongfang Yu's mother. Lu Yingqiu was unwilling to accept her failure, so she turned her target to Qu Hongbin, the young master of the Qu family, and eventually he became his wife.
The Qu Mansion ranks fourth in status and power in the Luoyang Empire.
Back then, at a banquet, Lu Yingqiu put a powder similar to an aphrodisiac in Qu Hongbin's wine glass.
Then, Lu Yingqiu carefully planned a "catch the adultery drama", and Qu Hongbin was forced to marry Lu Yingqiu.
In fact, Qu Hongbin already had a woman he loved at that time and was unwilling to marry Lu Yingqiu.
However, after Lu Yingqiu learned about this, she secretly and brutally murdered the woman.
She also threw the woman's body into a snake den, which was then eaten to pieces.
After the woman died, Qu Hongbin was completely desperate and finally agreed to marry Lu Yingqiu reluctantly.
However, after he married Lu Yingqiu, he had no interest in her and was even unwilling to touch her.
Lu Yingqiu was extremely angry, so she repeated her old trick and put aphrodisiac in Qu Hongbin's tea again.
In order to avoid being discovered by Qu Hongbin, Lu Yingqiu also drank the cup of tea containing aphrodisiac.
But at this moment, Qu Hongbin had something to do and left the Qu Mansion directly, so he didn't drink at all.
Soon, the aphrodisiac in Lu Yingqiu's body began to take effect. At this time, the housekeeper Zhang, who was in cahoots with her, walked into the room with lustful eyes.
Butler Zhang's lustful eyes revealed his extreme greed for Lu Yingqiu's beauty.
He had long been drooling over Lu Yingqiu's beauty, but had never had the chance.
Lu Yingqiu could no longer suppress the effects of the aphrodisiac in her body. Driven by the aphrodisiac, she and Butler Zhang became entangled in love.
This unbearable scene happened to be accidentally witnessed by a maid in the Qu Mansion.
In order to shut the maid's mouth, Lu Yingqiu brutally killed her.
From then on, Butler Zhang became Lu Yingqiu's confidant, helping her deal with many shady dealings.
Not long after, Lu Yingqiu became pregnant.
In order to cover up this scandal, the child was blamed on Qu Hongbin.
Just like that, she used the same old trick again and drugged Qu Hongbin, and this time, she finally got what she wanted.
Under the influence of the drug, Qu Hongbin spent the whole night with her.
Afterwards, Lu Yingqiu told Qu Hongbin that she was pregnant with his child.
Upon learning that he was going to be a father, Qu Hongbin did not have much aversion to this sudden arrival of a child. Instead, he decided to treat Lu Yingqiu well.
