Suppressing the Protagonist in the Start to Seize the Heroine-Chapter 145: Early Morning Arrival

Qin Jiuyue had just returned home when she noticed Qin Gong standing at the doorway, looking around with caution. “Uncle Qin, were you waiting for me this late at night?” she asked, feeling somewhat moved.

Qin Gong, who always treated her like a little princess, was slightly surprised to see her and chuckled, “Xiaoyue, you’re back. The whole family has been anxiously waiting for you.”

Jiuyue jokingly mentioned the heavy traffic and her struggle with driving alone.

Qin Gong advised her to bring family drivers and bodyguards next time, especially at night in Donghai, saying, “Next time, you should bring our family’s drivers and bodyguards with you. Donghai is not safe at night.”

After their conversation, Jiuyue suddenly thought about Su Lin and their recent adventure.

Connecting Qin Gong’s behavior to Su Lin’s presence, she realized that her family probably didn’t know about Su Lin.

She speculated that it was Su Lin’s use of qinggong that attracted their attention, given the presence of martial arts masters in her family who could sense such energies.

Inside the mansion, Qin Gong reported to an elder, Qin Lao, “Qin Lao, I’ve checked around and found no one.”

Qin Lao responded, “Well, it’s normal not to find anyone if it was a grandmaster. Unless we were prepared, it’s nearly impossible to detect them.”

Qin Gong then expressed his anger about their family’s authority being challenged, “The Qin family has been quiet for many years. Now someone dares to prowl around our doorstep, thinking the Qin family is defenseless.”

The elder, Qin Lao, laughed and said, “There are always people who defy the odds. The aura was unfamiliar, but I could tell the person was young, probably a reckless youth.”

“We should set up surveillance in a two-kilometer radius without any blind spots. Next time they come, we must capture their face.”

Qin Gong assured, “Qin Lao, rest assured, I have already arranged for this.”

In another part of the mansion, Qin Delin was talking sternly to his son, Qin Mu, “Your elder brother didn’t come home tonight, and yet you had someone come over? We exposed our presence and alarmed the enemy prematurely, do you understand?”

Qin Mu, confused, replied, “Dad, I didn’t do anything. I just called Master Wang, and he’s still at the hotel with my uncle. Why would I call him over to our house at this time?”

Puzzled, Qin Deyu questioned, “Then who was the grandmaster outside just now?”

Qin Mu shrugged, “I don’t know.”

Qin Delin frowned, “Hmm, could all these be coincidences? Especially when we were about to move against the eldest?”

He then turned to Qin Mu and asked, “Do you think all of this is just a coincidence?”

Qin Mu shook his head, “I don’t know.”

“Slap!” There was a sudden, sharp sound.

Qin Mu was slapped and sent flying.

“Not knowing, not knowing, what else do you know besides womanizing? You’re almost forty and still, when asked, you know nothing. How did I end up with such a useless son?”

Qin Mu stood still, covering his face, not daring to speak.

In his heart, he didn’t want his dad to compete with Qin Deshu for power. Wasn’t it better to lie low, indulging in women, food, and entertainment, doing whatever he pleased? What use was power in this constant scheming and struggling?

“Ah… you really don’t resemble my son at all.” After saying this, Qin Delin left with a sigh. This opportunity was missed, and who knows when the next one will come.

Su Lin didn’t realize that by using light skills to travel quickly outside, he had exposed his presence and was discovered by the Qin family’s master.

After returning home and taking a bath, he sat cross-legged on the bed and began to formally cultivate the Taiyi Devine Needles.

The Taiyi Devine Needles can be cultivated separately or together.

Gathering all seven needles can summon the divine dragon and achieve immortality. Su Lin was not in a hurry to become immortal; he just wanted to master the third needle as soon as possible.

Otherwise, he might be secretly harmed by Xiao Chen one day. Su Lin knew this guy was best at cutting off meridians – a method that damages the kidney meridian, rendering a person impotent.

Su Lin thought that if he collected the seventh needle, he could let Xiao Chen experience it himself, if he was still alive by then.

…

Morning~!!

Qin Jiuyue got up early. Knowing Qin Delin’s character, she was sure he would go for Su Lin’s blue and white porcelain at the first opportunity.

Sure enough, when she arrived at the outer courtyard, she saw people preparing the car. Waiting there for a while, she indeed saw Qin Delin walking briskly out of the inner courtyard.

“Xiaoyue, you’re up early?”

Qin Jiuyue nodded: “Yes, Grandpa, where are you going so early?”

Seeing Qin Jiuyue’s healing smile, Qin Delin, already in a good mood, felt even better. He replied, “Of course, to get my treasure, the blue and white porcelain . Why are you here so early?”

Qin Jiuyue, holding onto Qin Delin’s arm, said, “Grandpa, I want to go with you for fun.”

“I’m just going to get a treasure, why follow me?” freeweɓnøvel.com

“It’s too boring at home, and I don’t have classes now. You can’t lock me up at home every day. Going out alone means bodyguards and drivers, but with you, it’s free and easy.”

Hearing this, Qin Delin affectionately ruffled Qin Jiuyue’s hair: “Okay~! I’ll take you with me, but we must agree, you can’t act alone once we’re out, otherwise, Grandpa won’t take you out again.”

“Mm-hmm~!” Thinking of seeing Su Lin again, Qin Jiuyue’s pretty face broke into a smile. She had stayed up until late last night, reminiscing about the scene of flying with Su Lin.

…

Su Lin was brought back to reality from his meditative state by a knock on the door. Glancing at the wall clock, he realized it was eight o’clock. In Donghai City, the day was already bright at eight in the morning.

Su Lin was somewhat surprised: “I didn’t expect cultivation could really make one forget about time. I thought only a few minutes had passed, but it turned out to be the whole night.”

He got up to open the door and saw Qin Delin’s smiling face. “Old Man Qin, why are you here so early?”

Qin Deshu smiled and said, “Of course, to collect my treasure. If I wasn’t worried about disturbing your rest, I would have come last night.”

“Uh… you really are obsessed with antiques,” Su Lin exclaimed.

“That’s not obsession, you don’t understand,” Qin Delin retorted.

As they spoke, a delicate face peeked out: “Hi~! Su Lin, we meet again.”

Seeing Su Lin, Qin Jiuyue almost broke character with her years of practiced acting, but fortunately, Qin Delin was already preoccupied with the blue and white porcelain, otherwise he would have noticed something.

Su Lin forced a smile and nodded: “Hi~! Xiaoyue, I didn’t expect you to come too.”

“Hehe, I was bored at home, so I followed my grandpa out for fun.”

Su Lin nodded: “Come in.”

The two followed Su Lin into the room, where Qin Delin immediately noticed the blue and white porcelain vase on the balcony, with two roses inserted in it, looking exceptionally beautiful.

Qin Delin, with a pained expression, walked over, pulled out the roses, threw them on the ground, and stomped on them: “My blue and white porcelain vase, is this how you treat it?”

“My blue and white porcelain, you used it for flowers, Su Lin, you heavens-damned…”

Su Lin looked innocent: “Old man, didn’t I tell you before? I got it for putting flowers.”

“You… you you you…” Qin Delin waved his hand dismissively: “Forget it, it’s no use talking to a blockhead like you.”

Su Lin smiled lightly: “There’s still some water in it, Elder, you should pour it out.”

“Ah… If I knew you would treat it like this, I should have tried harder to get it that day.” Qin Delin was heartbroken, seeing Su Lin treat such a Chinese treasure so casually.

Su Lin looked at Qin Jiuyue: “Is he always like this?”

Qin Jiuyue, covering her face and giggling, said: “My grandpa is always like this when he encounters treasures.”

“Go ahead and laugh, isn’t it uncomfortable holding it in?”

“Hehe… I’m used to it, and my grandpa is here,” she said, sneaking a glance at Qin Delin.

Fortunately, his attention hadn’t shifted.
