Chapter 185: Chapter 185: I Hate Su Chengyu_1

All the people of the Lin Family were completely terrified, their faces drained of color and filled with fear—especially Lin Zhengxun, who had closed his eyes in despair.

Su Chengyu glanced at Lin Huanfeng and finally did not strangle Lin Zhengxun as his grasp around the latter’s throat slackened progressively.

Having been terrified to the point of exhaustion, Lin Zhengxun instantly collapsed to the ground, his body slick with cold sweat.

"Leave."

Su Chengyu waved his hand and said.

"Thank you, Brother Yu!" Lin Huanfeng, feeling as if a heavy burden had been lifted off his chest, hurriedly helped the flaccid Lin Zhengxun up.

"Thank you, Grandmaster Su, for sparing us. The Lin Family is eternally grateful and will unconditionally follow your orders from now on."

Lin Zhengxun was so scared now that he was grateful even to have survived, and his attitude took on an air of sudden enlightenment.

However, Su Chengyu didn’t believe a word from this cunning old fox, Lin Zhengxun, demanding bluntly: "Are you leaving or not?"

Just then the Lin family members hurried away from Su Chengyu’s home, only fully relaxing once they’d left the building complex. It felt as if they had just returned from the brink of death.

"Huan Feng, it’s fortunate that you came. Otherwise, I fear that Grandmaster Su would have not spared this old life of mine," Lin Zhengxun admitted, still shaken.

"Grandpa, I don’t have that much influence. It might have been because of my sister."

Lin Huanfeng was self-aware enough to recognize his own standing. In front of Su Chengyu, he didn’t amount to much at all.

On their way home, Lin Huanfeng called Lin Chuxue.

"Sis, where are you? The matter with Brother Yu has been resolved, you should come back home."

After hearing the words, Lin Chuxue too took a sigh of relief.

When Lin Chuxue got home, Lin Zhengxun called her into his study.

"Chuxue, our family was able to avert this disaster, and I was able to survive, all because of you. It appears as though Su Chengyu holds some affection towards you. It would be prudent to seize this opportunity."

Lin Zhengxun spoke with a sense of urgency.

"Grandpa, haven’t we learned enough lessons from this? The Lin Family should just stick to doing business honestly. Why do we have to get involved again?" said Lin Chuxue.

"You think our problems are all solved now, do you? Don’t forget that we still haven’t found out who was behind the attempt on our lives. It’s easy to dodge open threats, but harder to guard against those lurking in the shadows. If the enemy is adamant about destroying our family, they won’t give up easily. If we don’t have protection, our family’s survival is marked for expiration."

Lin Zhengxun sighed and continued, "I was short-sighted before. Su Chengyu can even vie with Hong Zhen Ting these days, his future potential is limitless. We must gain his support. That’s the only way our family can stay safe and continue to thrive."

"Then what do you want me to do?" Lin Chuxue asked coldly.

"Get close to Su Chengyu, please him. Heroes have always been known to have their Achilles heel when it comes to pretty women. Given your beauty, if you made the first move, there’s no way he won’t be moved. If you two get together, he won’t sit by if our family is in danger." said Lin Zhengxun.

"Chuxue, your grandfather is right. The future of the Lin family is in your hands." Lin Zhiyuan tried to convince her.

Lin Chuxue laughed coldly, her words steeped in self-mockery, "What am I to you? A bargaining chip?"

"As a member of the Lin family, this is your responsibility. Su Chengyu is a young, handsome, talented man. Countless women are infatuated with him. What are you dissatisfied with?" Lin Zhengxun said discontentedly.

"He’s nothing but a womanizer. The man I, Lin Chuxue, will marry, must be solely devoted to me. It’s impossible for me to be with him."

Lin Chuxue made her stance clear. She was a woman who wouldn’t stand for any disappointments.

"Foolish! Any successful man in this world inevitably has several women around him. Your father didn’t only have your mother, did your mother ever say anything?" Lin Zhengxun rebuked.

"As of now, there are no women surrounding Su Chengyu. If you seize this opportunity and take hold of the moral high ground, even if there are other women later, they won’t be able to shake your status. It’s quite normal for a man to court a few women."

Lin Zhiyuan loudly offered his opinion.

A hint of iciness flashed across Lin Chuxue’s eyes. The fact that Lin Zhiyuan kept mistresses was an open secret, and Lin Chuxue utterly detested this about him.

Lin Chuxue’s hatred towards men stemmed from her family issues.

"I find your words revolting. I refuse to act as your puppet and I won’t tolerate my man being involved with other women. I’d rather marry Yuan Chaoqun than attempt to please Su Chengyu."

After she said her piece, Lin Chuxue stormed out.

Su Chengyu returned home to a house quieted by the absence of his sister, Su Xiaoxiao. He missed the laughter and chatter that she usually brought with her. Her absence now left Su Chengyu feeling a sense of desolation.

For now, Su Chengyu decided to let Su Xiaoxiao stay at school for a few more days until her anger at him subsided.

Su Chengyu set about getting organized his medicinal herbs and quickly planned to refine another batch of Heavenly Pills. He knew that only by increasing his strength could he secure a solid foothold.

Linjiang was merely a small city. The world outside was enormous and thrilling, and he knew that he had to venture out eventually.

There were still two key medicinal ingredients missing for the Heavenly Pill. Once all the ingredients were gathered, with the addition of the Snake Gallbladder from a black-scaled python, the power of the Heavenly Pill would intensify significantly—possibly enough to break through to the sixth level of the Qi-refining stage.

At the sixth level of Qi refinement, even without using any spells, he would stand a chance against Ren Qianzhong.

"It seems like I have to take a trip to Jiangyang City in the province."

The video that Su Beiming had left behind mentioned that the secret about his lineage was hidden within the Wind, Moon, Flowers, and Birds Painting, which Jiang Yuyan had sold via the Hentong Auction House in Jiangyang city.

Su Chengyu had been too busy lately and hadn’t had time to go to the Hentong Auction House to track down the Wind, Moon, Flowers, and Birds Painting. While visiting Jiangyang City, he could also take the opportunity to see if he could gather more alchemy materials.

The next day, Liu Yan took the initiative to invite Su Chengyu to lunch. Su Chengyu agreed to her invitation since he was planning to find Xu Lingshan and inquire about the Hentong Auction House before heading to Jiangyang City anyway.

Liu Yan invited Su Chengyu out since she needed a favor from him. Her mother had fallen seriously ill and the result of her hospital examination was not good.

Since Su Chengyu was even able to cure Xu Nanzhi’s cancer, Liu Yan felt she had no choice but to seek his help.

Liu Yan arrived at the Dongling Grand Restaurant before anyone else. She had chosen a seat by the window and was waiting for Su Chengyu.

At that moment, Fang Qing and her third martial brother, He Shou Xin, also entered the restaurant. He Shou Xin had traveled to Linjiang to kill Su Chengyu, but had not been able to find him.

Later, when Hong Zhen Ting negotiated with Cai Fist Gate, they decided to spare Su Chengyu for the time being, and He Shouxin was planning to return to Jiangyang city.

Fang Qing knew that her school would temporarily refrain from attacking Su Chengyu and breathed a sigh of relief. She accompanied He Shou Xin to have a meal as a farewell.

"Huh...Isn’t that Liu Yan, the manager of the Encounter Bar?" He Shou Xin just sat down when he spotted Liu Yan in the distance, his face lighting up immediately.

"Senior Brother, how do you know her?" asked Fang Qing.

"I met her at the Encounter Bar last night. I like this woman." He Shou Xin disclosed then rose to head towards Liu Yan.
