Suppressing the Protagonist in the Start to Seize the Heroine-Chapter 250

Chapter 250

Hearing Xiao agree so quickly, Ma Junjie was taken aback.He looked at Xiao somewhat disdainfully, thinking how desperately Xiao wanted this marriage.

To Ma Junjie, a woman was hardly worth such trouble, especially given the plentiful beauties in all of Xia Country. Yet Xiao Feiyu had just shown that he had no bottom line when it came to this alliance.

“Xiao Geiyu, you’re the scion of the Modu’s Xiao family. Is a woman really worth this much to you? Even though the Liu family is flourishing, allying with them means living at their mercy. Is that what you really want?” Ma Junjie couldn’t help but voice his curiosity.

Xiao Feiyu just laughed, “Ma Junjie, that’s none of your business. There’s no need to dig so deep.”

Ma Junjie nodded, guessing Xiao wouldn’t elaborate. But Xiao Feiyu’s desperate clinging to the Liu family seemed disgraceful to him. All the great families were driven by interests; marriages were meaningless without profit.

Xiao Feiyu harbored his thoughts. His interest in Liu Shiyin was purely possessive, devoid of any real affection. Why the insistence on marrying Liu Shiyin? Simple. Liu Shiyin was a heroine in his eyes.

With Jiang Ruoxi out of reach and no chance of getting close to Su Lin’s girlfriends, Liu Shiyin was the most accessible heroine known to him at this stage. Of course, he had to secure Liu Shiwen to gain villain points and enhance his own power.

“Let’s discuss the details now.”

“Alright.”

Back at the Su Corporation building, after a long period of consolidation, He Suxin finally managed to condense her first drop of true essence. Her aura, though not as strong as Su Lin’s, was formidable. In the resting room, her hair moved as if blown by an invisible fan.

Surprised, Su Lin commented, “I didn’t experience anything like this during my breakthrough. It feels like there’s a fan blowing. Could it be an issue with the system’s infusion?”

This was the first time Su Lin had observed someone else’s breakthrough and he was curious, as his own experience seemed quite different.

He Suxin suddenly opened her eyes, looking at Su Lin with excitement, “Xiaolin, I did it.” freeωebnovēl.c૦m

“Aunt Su, that’s just the first step. Don’t get too excited yet, continue to consolidate,” Su Lin reminded her.

“Alright…”

He Suxin’s breakthrough sent ripples across Donghai again. Unlike Su Lin’s swift breakthrough, hers was distinct, and those attuned to such changes felt it.

Just returning to his villa, Wang Yannian was about to sip some tea when he sensed the breakthrough energy. Setting his cup down, he stood, “This aura seems familiar.”

“No need to guess, that’s He Suxin breaking through,” Zhao Changlin called out as he came downstairs, followed by two immortal beings from the Liu family.

Wang Yannian closed his eyes to feel the energy, then opened them, “Indeed, it’s her. Only in her early forties, and she’s broken through. It’s truly a case of the new surpassing the old.”

“Ain’t that the truth. Here I am, part of the capital’s twin heroes, feeling like a joke,” Zhao Changlin said with a bitter laugh.

He had only broken through in his fifties, with the aid of medicinal herbs, whereas He Suxin had achieved it at forty without any such assistance, and her aura was remarkable.

“Older and older…” someone sighed.

“Yes, I never thought I’d see the day when new talents like eighteen-year-old Su Lin and forty-year-old He Suxin would emerge. It’s a miraculous era indeed.”

“Alas, both are neither friend nor foe.”

As they conversed, Wang Yannian felt a mix of emotions. Despite considering himself supremely talented, he had to admit that Su Lin and He Suxin possessed even greater talents.

“Old Wang, we’ve really put ourselves on the line by coming to Donghai with you this time. Are you sure we can get the medicine to clear our hidden injuries?” Zhao Changlin asked, somewhat anxious.

For people like Zhao, only enhancements to their cultivation level, methods, or magical treasures could pique their interest. Wang Yannian had offered them something they couldn’t refuse—a cure for hidden injuries.

Many of them, including Zhao Changlin and Liu Bingsheng, had fought countless battles throughout their lives, leaving them with various chronic injuries that no ordinary medicine could heal. Only a special elixir could help.

And Wang Yannian had claimed to have the recipe, just lacking the ingredients. Given the Ghost Doctor’s reputation, they trusted his claims.

Indeed, Wang Yannian had convinced them to help gather ingredients for the Seven Revolution Resurrection Elixir. As for the elixir to purge hidden injuries, he didn’t have it, but Xiao Feiyu did. Previously, Xiao Feiyu had given him a small amount to show sincerity, which Wang Yannian used to lure these people to work for him.

Seeing Zhao’s lingering doubts, Wang Yannian chuckled, “Old Zhao, would I lie to you?”

Zhao Changlin nodded. He and Wang Yannian had a good private relationship, and Wang Yannian, being advanced in years, was unlikely to deceive him. But ever since arriving in Donghai, Wang’s actions had been puzzling, hence Zhao’s voiced concerns.

“Ah, I always feel odd when I come out with you. It’s like being a step away from heaven or hell,” Zhao remarked, feeling uneasy.

Liu Bingsheng added, “That’s normal. Our sect records mention that at a certain level of cultivation, one develops an inexplicable ability to sense the alignment of the heavens, which becomes more pronounced with higher cultivation levels.”

“We knew there were risks in agreeing to come with Old Wang. These feelings are quite normal.”

Zhao nodded, “Indeed, such ventures always carry both rewards and risks.”

However, Wang Yannian, listening to their conversation, was lost in his own anxious thoughts. With Su Lin and now He Suxin, plus Bai Qikun from Bureau 751, his numerical advantage was less clear. Furthermore, Su Lin’s combat abilities were off the conventional charts.

“I never thought I’d see the day when I, Wang Yannian, would overthink things.”

Shaking his head, Wang lamented how his growing power seemed inversely proportional to his courage. Facing a young opponent like Su Lin, he found himself hesitating. Perhaps what he really feared was Su Lin’s youth.
