Reborn and returned, sisters swapped

Looking at his expression, Gu Jinyan couldn't help but think to himself:

Although this person was of lowly status, his inner fear was the perfect opportunity for her to further test the power of the jade pendant.

She had her servants come forward to report on recent events, still holding the jade pendant in her hand, gently stroking the ancient jade.

Although the servant spoke respectfully, fine beads of sweat had formed on his forehead, and a hint of fear flashed in his eyes.

While Gu Jinyan was talking to him, he once again activated his mental techniques, and the power of the jade pendant was slowly released, silently entering the other's mind.

A moment later, Gu Jinyan felt a strong emotion surge into his mind.

This was a completely different emotion from Xiao Li's, filled with fear and unease.

She seemed to instantly switch places with the servant, experiencing the same fear he felt when facing her.

The servant's fear stemmed not only from her identity, but also from the secret he harbored.

Gu Jinyan sensed his hidden secret: he had secretly colluded with outsiders in the mansion to steal and sell the mansion's supplies.

Although the matter went undiscovered, he was constantly gripped by fear, worrying about the punishment he would face if the secret were exposed.

As this fear surged, Gu Jinyan's heart seemed to race, as if she herself were in a situation with nowhere to escape, her mind and body oppressed by fear.

This exchange made her almost one with the servant, experiencing firsthand his anxieties in daily life.

In this profound experience, Gu Jinyan suddenly realized that this power not only allowed her to understand the other person's emotional fluctuations, but also gave her the ability to further manipulate these emotions.

She can use the jade pendant to enter the other person's heart, sense their emotions, and then use these emotions as a breakthrough point to manipulate them, implanting her own thoughts into their minds and changing their behavior and decisions.

She took a deep breath, slowly withdrew from the servant's emotional world, and re-separated herself from his feelings.

Although this profound experience left her mentally and physically exhausted for a short time, it also gave her greater confidence in controlling this power.

She smiled slightly and calmly said to the servant, "You look a little tired. You've been very busy lately. I'll have someone transfer you to an easier job so you can rest for a few days."

The servant looked up abruptly, an expression of disbelief in his eyes.

Gu Jinyan's words seemed to dispel his fear and give him a moment to breathe.

He thanked him repeatedly, his expression revealing an undisguised sense of relief.

Gu Jinyan's heart stirred, and he clearly felt the power of the jade pendant influencing the servant's emotions.

Although the fear had not completely dissipated, she had gained a precise understanding of the other person's mindset through this experience.

This experiential displacement allows her not only to perceive emotions, but also to find the best way to control them through empathy.

Gu Jinyan stood by the window of his study, holding the mysterious jade pendant in his hand, but his gaze went beyond the courtyard and landed on a secluded pavilion in the distance.

That was the residence of her half-sister, Quran.

The Quran, this name is like a sharp thorn in Gu Jinyan's heart.

On the surface, they are both daughters of the Quran, but in reality, Quran has always been adept at political maneuvering and has been secretly accumulating power, becoming the center where various forces in the palace converge.

Gu Jinyan felt threatened by her many times, but struggled to find any evidence to expose her conspiracy.

Today, she decided to use the power of the jade pendant to uncover the secrets of the Quran.

As night fell, Gu Jinyan took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and gripped the jade pendant tightly in his palm.

That familiar warmth followed, like a thin thread extending from her fingertips to the distant attic.

Her mind gradually merged with the jade pendant, and she seemed to float in an invisible force.

She silently recited the mantra of mental manipulation, slowly directing her consciousness toward the direction of the Quran.

As he focused his mind, Gu Jinyan sensed a faint emotional fluctuation, a complex and mysterious emotion mixed with tension, vigilance, and a hidden ambition.

The emotional fluctuations emanating from the attic seemed like an invisible thread, guiding her to explore further.

She slowly guided her mind, like a light, falling leaf, silently entering the realm of the Quran.

In an instant, her consciousness seemed to transcend space, sensing a power that did not belong to her.

Those are the emotions hidden in the heart of the Quran: the desire for power, the wariness of those around them, and the ambition for the unknown future.
