Chapter 373: hypnotism

Bei Yin also sat down by the bed, then took out a watch pendant from her bag and started to gently sway it in Leng Xuan’s line of sight, speaking softly, "You look at this watch, focus your attention, relax your mind, Ai, good, just like that..."

Leng Xuan found it curious, wasn’t Bei Yin supposed to be providing him psychological treatment? Why was she resorting to hypnotism? However, thinking that such a little trick would hypnotize him was quite amusing. Of course, to alleviate Ling Xuejiu and Li Mengjie’s worries as soon as possible, he pretended to cooperate with Bei Yin, and after a while, acted as if he was quite drowsy.

At this point, Bei Yin began to delve into the crux of the matter, asking Leng Xuan a series of questions, mainly about whether he had experienced any recent stimuli, or if there was something particularly oppressive on his mind, and so on. Leng Xuan mumbled incoherently for a while, then pretended to be overwhelmed with sleepiness, his eyes half-closed as if he were about to fall asleep at any moment.

Seeing that it was about time, Bei Yin put away the watch and with a voice so light and gentle that it seemed to hold some sort of magic, she said, "Now, look into my eyes."

Leng Xuan gave a light "Oh" and lifted his eyelids to look into Bei Yin’s eyes, not noticing before just how lively they were. They were clear and bright, large and round, with long eyelashes that, though not deliberately groomed, were already thick and dense. Coupled with skin as white as snow and delicate features, she did indeed make a beautiful woman. It was just a shame that her eyebrows were slightly sparse, which was a minor flaw.

Bei Yin, in this instance, could not have possibly dreamed that not only was Leng Xuan not being hypnotized by her, but he was also mentally assessing her beauty. She continued in that tender voice, "Leng Xuan, I need to ask you a few questions, and you must answer me truthfully."

Leng Xuan felt a slight unease; why did this girl not seem like she was conducting psychological treatment but instead seemed intent on using hypnotism to extract information? Although this was his thought, he still feigned confusion and hummed in acknowledgment, saying, "I understand."

"Very well!" Bei Yin nodded, but her tone already had a hint of interrogation, "I’ll ask you then, do you like Ling Xuejiu?"

Leng Xuan was curious as to why the girl would suddenly ask this. He considered whether it was possible for him to like Ling Xuejiu—this was a thought he truly had never entertained before, as he was someone with nothing to his name, how could he possibly aspire to the grandeur of the Ling Family’s Daughter? So he honestly replied, "No, I don’t!"

Bei Yin seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. Entrusted by Madame Ren, her task was not only to administer psychological therapy to Leng Xuan but, more importantly, to use hypnotism to pull from him any thoughts about Ling Xuejiu. She smiled slightly and said, "Then do you find her beautiful?"

"Beautiful!" Leng Xuan spoke the truth; because just on the basis of beauty alone, Ling Xuejiu undoubtedly reached the level of a celestial being.

Bei Yin said, "Don’t all you men like beautiful women? Then why don’t you like Ling Xuejiu?"

Leng Xuan replied, "Because I am very much aware of my own status."

Upon hearing this, Bei Yin nodded in satisfaction. It seemed this bodyguard close to Xiao Xue was quite aware of himself, she thought. Then, as her thoughts shifted, she suddenly remembered her brother’s affection for Li Mengjie. She hesitated, then asked, "Do you like Li Mengjie?"
