The Amazing Son-in-Law [The Charismatic Charlie Wade] (Chinese name) Chapter: 6816

“So, to strengthen his family, the British Lord plans to use your cultivation and potions to help the Wu family’s descendants become enlightened,” said Song Ruyu.

“The cost of forcing people to enlightenment is very high. Even the British Master can’t quickly train a lot of monks at once. It usually takes about two to three years to train just one or two entry-level monks. And that speed is already the best they can do.”

“Also, most monks who become enlightened through outside help struggle to progress further because of their limited talent. To become a master like the four great earls, you need a lot of talent.”

Song Ruyu continued, “The British Lord sees the Song family as just a tool for the Wu family to carry on their lineage. He has always looked down on us.”

“I was able to become enlightened because, when I was sixteen, an expert from the Wu family visited to inspect eligible girls. They discovered that I was in a dark situation and quickly reported it to the Grand Governor.”

“It seems that the Grand Governor had never heard of anyone reaching the dark realm at such a young age. He was surprised and immediately informed the British Master.”

“The Grand Governor reported my case to Wu Feiyan because the British Lord has been searching for talented individuals suitable for enlightenment for years. When he finds them, they are placed under Po Qinghui’s guidance.”

“After the Grand Governor told Lord Ying about my situation, he asked him to give me a piece of spiritual teaching for me to understand on my own.”

Charlie Wade listened intently as Song Ruyu explained her journey to enlightenment. “If I can enlighten myself successfully, I will accept myself as my own personal disciple,” she declared.

Charlie was surprised. “Wait, you achieved enlightenment using a mental method?” he asked. He remembered Song Ruyu mentioning that she had used this method to break through to a new level in her martial arts training. If she could do that, her talent must be extraordinary.

Song Ruyu nodded and continued, “In the martial arts world, a British Master tests the geniuses by seeing if they can reach enlightenment on their own. She doesn’t have the energy to help others, so it’s up to each genius to prove their worth through their own mental efforts.”

She then shared her story. “When I received the article that explained this method, I knew it was my only chance to escape marrying into the Wu family and to help my own family. I treasured that article and spent six years meditating, without food or sleep, until I finally achieved enlightenment at twenty-two.”

Charlie’s head spun as he processed her words. “Six years for enlightenment? That’s incredible!” he exclaimed.

He looked at her and asked, “So, are you now a direct disciple of Wu Feiyan?”

“Not quite,” Song Ruyu replied. “After I achieved enlightenment, the Grand Governor reported it to the British Lord. He was surprised to learn that a girl from a side family, who had always been overlooked, could achieve such a feat at a young age. So, he instructed the Governor to bring me to the Youjun.”

The Governor’s Mansion was set to start working for the Po Qing Society. Song Ruyu wanted to wait until she could inspect the Youjun Governor’s Mansion early next year. At that time, she planned to meet in person and accept Charlie Wade as her direct disciple.

After sharing this, Song Ruyu continued, “The Commander-in-Chief took the British Lord’s order very seriously. He quickly brought me to the Right Army’s Governor’s Mansion and made me Chief Minister. The British Lord also asked me to bring a thin sword and a small Pei Yuan Dan to the Governor’s Mansion, and I received them directly from the Governor.”

Charlie Wade nodded, holding the thin sword in his hand. He asked her, “Did Wu Feiyan give you this sword?”

“Yes!” Song Ruyu replied. “The sword’s formation, which is controlled by thoughts, has greatly enhanced my combat skills. The small Pei Yuan Dan provided me with valuable spiritual energy.”

However, as she spoke, her expression turned serious. “What I never expected was that while the Xiao Pei Yuan Dan contains spiritual energy, it also has a powerful poison. This poison is very dangerous. It is said that even monks can’t cure it, and you must take the antidote within three years, or you will die!”
