Reborn and returned, sisters swapped

The servant looked up, a hint of surprise on his face.

He hadn't originally intended this, but Gu Jinyan's words seemed to have awakened some vague sense of unease within him.

He frowned subconsciously, then said in a low voice, "Reporting to Miss, there are indeed some minor things that are not going well, but they are nothing serious and I wouldn't dare to bother you."

Gu Jinyan sensed that the power of the jade pendant had begun to take effect. She did not rush to unleash the full power of her mental techniques, but instead gently gripped the jade pendant and silently recited the mental techniques incantation from the scroll.

Her mind was focused on the servant's emotional fluctuations, a subtle and delicate connection—like an invisible thread pulling at his heart.

"There are many affairs in the household. If you have anything on your mind, feel free to tell me." Her tone was gentle, but her words contained a hidden implication.

At the same time, the jade pendant emitted a slight warmth.

She guided this warm power into the other person's heart, attempting to penetrate the depths of their mind through this subtle energy.

The servant's expression gradually became confused, and a hint of bewilderment flashed in his eyes, as if he was trying to think and find the non-existent trouble.

However, Gu Jinyan's tone and the guidance she gave him gradually weakened his guard, causing him to unconsciously begin to cater to her hints.

“Miss is right. Lately… I have indeed felt somewhat powerless and haven’t been thorough enough in my work.” The servant’s voice was low, with a hint of weariness in his tone.

All of this was the effect of Gu Jinyan's mental manipulation.

Seeing the other party's reaction, Gu Jinyan was secretly pleased.

Although it was just a simple psychological suggestion, she could clearly feel that the power of the jade pendant had successfully penetrated into the other person's mind.

She did not continue to exert excessive control, but instead chose to guide him slowly.

"It seems that you've been quite stressed and overworked lately. I can see you've had a tough time. I'll have the housekeeper give you a few days to rest and recuperate."

Her tone remained gentle, but every word carried a deeper meaning, subtly guiding the other person's emotions.

Sure enough, the servant's eyes showed gratitude, and he thanked him repeatedly.

At this moment, he was completely guided by Gu Jinyan's words and mental manipulations, and he was completely unaware of how those thoughts that did not belong to him had been quietly implanted in his mind.

Gu Jinyan pondered to himself that although this method of worrying was being used for the first time, its effects were already beginning to show.

Her hand gently stroked the jade pendant, feeling the energy flowing within it, and this was only a part of its power.

In the following days, Gu Jinyan did not rush to use his mental techniques again, but instead spent a lot of time studying every sentence in the scroll late at night.

Manipulating people's hearts requires not only strong mental strength, but also an understanding of the weaknesses and desires deep within people's hearts.

Through observation, she discovered that everyone's heart has its vulnerabilities, and it is these vulnerabilities that become the key to her secret spellcasting.

The power of manipulation lies in subtly infiltrating the other person's emotions and changing their thoughts, rather than directly controlling them.

It is precisely this invisible manipulation that is most deadly.

Each experiment honed her skills, and she gradually mastered how to guide others' minds in different ways.

Sometimes, it's through subtle hints in words;

Sometimes, it is through the coordination of body movements and eye contact, coupled with mental concentration, that the other person's consciousness is gradually blurred, and their mind is changed unconsciously.

After several clandestine experiments, Gu Jinyan's application of the art of worrying has begun to show results.

She began to consider how to apply this power to higher-level power struggles.

In the future, she will no longer rely solely on military strategy and tactics, but will use this invisible art of the mind to subtly change the situation in the court, within her family, and even in the enemy's camp.

Every decision-maker's thought, every fluctuation of their mind, will become a piece on her chessboard.

The power of the jade pendant can not only be used to control a single individual, but also to influence a group of people through complex mental spells and incantations.

She read from the scroll that the ancestors of the Gu family had used this power to influence the decisions of several important officials in the court, even causing them to abandon their positions at crucial moments.

This subtle and pervasive manipulation instilled a sense of awe in Gu Jinyan and strengthened her resolve to continue her plans for the future.

Only by gradually expanding one's influence without revealing one's abilities can one gain the greatest advantage in complex power struggles.
