Chapter 228: It Was Just Two Needles
Warning, Warning: The protagonist Xiao Feiyu is experiencing severe psychological fractures. If this continues, he may become extremely darkened, with his protagonist aura tripling. The host must handle this with caution~!!
Watching Xiao Feiyu being led away by Lin Kunlun, Su Lin’s face showed no surprise. Although he didn’t know who the man escorting Xiao Feiyu was, it was likely someone summoned by the Ghost Doctor because so far, Xiao Feiyu’s luck hadn’t diminished; instead, only his mentality had shattered, progressively darkening.
Su Lin wasn’t sure exactly what Lin Xiaowan and the others had done to Xiao Feiyu, but it was clear they had done something unforgettable to cause such a significant fracture.
Su Lin and Wang Yannian stood quietly on the rooftop, watching the scene unfold.
“It seems like you’re not surprised?” Wang Yannian remarked.
Su Lin nodded at Wang Yannian: “I understand your character to some extent; you’re cautious.”
Wang Yannian smiled slightly, “You and I are alike, it’s a pity I didn’t meet you sooner, or I would have been tempted to take you as my disciple.”
Su Lin laughed heartily, “You’re a Human Immortal who hasn’t managed to break through; how could you be my master?”
“Fair point. The silver needles you used just now, those are the legendary Taiyi Divine Needles, right?”
Hearing Wang Yannian’s sudden question, Su Lin nodded, “Yes, that’s right.”
“No wonder.” After saying this, Wang Yannian took a big step away, his presence gradually fading into the distance.
Su Lin didn’t pursue him. True to his reputation as a renowned Ghost Doctor for so many years, even their brief skirmish revealed that Human Immortals were indeed not so easy to handle.
Their fight was pointless and would only give Wang Yannian a chance to attack his loved ones, which would really put Su Lin at a disadvantage.
Shaking his head, Su Lin went downstairs into the supermarket. Entering the lounge, he saw blood stains on the floor and walls, but the girls seemed unharmed.
He Suxin sat in the main seat, frowning, silent.
Seeing Su Lin enter, everyone reacted.
“Su Lin, are you hurt?”
Su Lin shook his head and looked at the women, “I’m fine, what about you?”
“We’re okay; it’s Xiao Feiyu and his bodyguards who got hurt.”
Hearing Zhao Yanyan’s words, Su Lin nodded and turned to He Suxin, “Aunt Su, do you know the middle-aged man just now?”
He Suxin nodded, “He’s Li Kunlun from the Li family in the capital. He’s of the same realm as me. Since there were several children around, I couldn’t act rashly, so I let them go.”
Su Lin quickly said, “Aunt Su, I didn’t mean to question your actions.”
“Uh-huh, I understand. Be careful with that Li Kunlun. Although he’s of the same realm as me, he’s backed by a mysterious and extremely protective sect. The Li family’s prominence in the capital owes much to this secretive sect.”
Su Lin nodded, “I just sparred briefly with Wang Yannian; he stopped after a couple of moves. He’s a strange one, hard to read.”
He Suxin smiled oddly, “He’s decades older than your father, did you expect to read his mind easily? But be careful, Wang Yannian bringing Li Kunlun out may very well be the Li family’s doing. They could be targeting you and your father.”
Su Lin laughed, “Aunt Su, I’ll keep that in mind. If the Li family wants to cooperate, I welcome them. But if they’re here to pick the fruits of my labor, I won’t just sit by.”
He Suxin trusted Su Lin’s words, curious when he might break through next. A Su Lin who has transcended to become a Human Immortal would be far more formidable, and then Wang Yannian and the others wouldn’t be a concern, so Su Lin’s words weren’t an exaggeration.
“Since this matter is settled, let’s head back. Xiao Feiyu won’t bother you for a while.” Curious, Su Lin asked, “What exactly happened to him? He seemed to have passed out when they carried him out.”
The women shared mischievous smiles, all glancing at Qin Jiuyue.
Qin Jiuyue stuck out her tongue, then said, “It wasn’t much; I just gave him two needles.”
“Just two needles?” Recalling Qin Jiuyue’s Ice Soul needles, those could freeze or even kill a normal person if applied with full force. Xiao Feiyu, though not ordinary, surely suffered greatly from those two needles.
Zhao Yanyan pulled Su Lin aside and quietly explained where Qin Jiuyue had placed the needles. Realizing the implications, Su Lin instinctively felt a chill in his own groin and then warily regarded Qin Jiuyue.
Qin Jiuyue blinked innocently, “Why are you looking at me like that? I won’t use the needles on you.”
“Cough, cough… Xiaoyue, try to use those needles less in the future.”
Qin Jiuyue nodded, “I didn’t realize they were so powerful. Hehe.”
He Suxin was curious, “Miss Qin’s needle technique is unheard of, so powerful and shocking. I was quite startled when she used it.”
Su Lin explained, “It’s a technique I acquired by chance, not belonging to any school or sect.”
“Aww, Su Lin, you gave Sister Xiaoyue such a powerful technique, but ours are much weaker,” Lin Xiaowan pouted unhappily at Su Lin.
“Cough, Xiaowan, it’s not that I don’t want to give you something better, but I just don’t have anything suitable right now. The one I gave her was because it matched her constitution.”
“Constitution? Does that relate to techniques?”
“Of course…”
After Su Lin explained, Lin Xiaowan finally understood the importance of constitution, looking at Su Lin, “Then, how is my constitution?”
Su Lin gave a thumbs-up, “Of course, it’s excellent. You reached master level in just a few months of cultivation. Besides Xiaoyue, all of you are surpassing countless martial arts masters with only sporadic training. Aren’t you content?”
“I didn’t say I wasn’t content, I was just asking.”
He Suxin watched Lin Xiaowan and Su Lin’s playful banter, very pleased. She patted Lin Xiaowan’s head, “Xiaowan, Su Lin is right. Your constitution is indeed great, but unfortunately, you are limited physically and cannot practice some light and fast attack techniques. You are destined to focus on mental cultivation and internal strength.”

“Why not? I also want to be graceful like an immortal,” Lin Xiaowan said discontentedly.
He Suxin opened her mouth to explain, then hesitated, looking a bit embarrassed at Su Lin.
Su Lin immediately understood He Suxin’s implication. He looked ahead and chuckled, “It’s because you’ve been too well-fed since you were young.”
“Ha ha ha…”
“Ha ha ha…”
“…”
Seeing everyone laughing and their gazes directed at her, Lin Xiaowan quickly realized why she couldn’t practice light and fast attack techniques. She bashfully punched Su Lin several times, “Shut up, don’t say any more.”
“Cough, cough… you asked for it,” Su Lin said, feigning injury.
