'Huh, isn't that Widow Ma? She's actually shacked up with this quack.'
Zhao Yuan recognized the beautiful young woman cradled in Mage Zhang's arms, and something suddenly came to mind.
'Last year, Widow Ma's husband suddenly died from a strange illness. Could it be that these two had already hooked up and murdered him? If that's true, then these two are practically a modern-day Ximen Qing and Pan Jinlian!'
He'd find out if that was the truth soon enough by asking. But before the interrogation, there was one more thing he had to do.
Zhao Yuan didn't want his conversation with Mage Zhang to be overheard. He needed to find a way to keep Widow Ma deep in sleep so she wouldn't wake up and hear something she shouldn't.
The Secret Techniques of the Witch Priests were perfect for this sort of thing.
Zhao Yuan opened his Information Leaf and searched through the books he had copied from the Ying Family Library. The results didn't disappoint. He quickly found a hypnotic Curse Technique.
