Suppressing the Protagonist at the Start to Seize the Heroine

Chapter 135: The Protagonist’s Divine Skill, Taiyi Acupuncture!

Thanks to Lin Tian’s mediation, Luo Sihai finally met Li Zihan, the eldest son of the Li family in Donghai, at the last moment.

Seeing Li Zihan, Luo Sihai’s eyes flashed with surprise. It was well known that Li Ziyu of the Li family was unparalleled in intelligence and known as one of the beauties of Donghai.

However, Li Zihan seemed somewhat obscure in comparison. It was known that the Li family had such a son, and that was about it.

Various scandals like street racing, fighting, womanizing, and other typical rich second generation behaviors were all associated with him. It was unexpected to see him today.

Li Zihan, tall and not particularly handsome but dressed in brand-name clothes and exuding a playboy aura, sat on the sofa with his legs crossed and asked Luo Sihai, “Surprised to see me, Sihai?”

Luo Sihai nodded, “Indeed, it’s unexpected. Normally, scions like you wouldn’t deal with people like us.”

Li Zihan agreed, “True, but that’s relative. I believe my family business has had quite a few dealings with you, Sihai.”

Luo Sihai sighed, “Everyone says the Li family has a clever daughter, but the eldest son is also not to be underestimated.”

Li Zihan sneered, “That woman just has good luck. Father prefers daughters over sons. He has always pampered her, so as the eldest son, I naturally remained obscure.”

Luo Sihai, realizing this was a family drama, changed the subject, “Young Master Li, competing with the Qin family is no small matter. Can you represent your family?”

Li Zihan chuckled, “Of course, I can’t represent the Li family, but my presence at the banquet is representation enough, isn’t it?”

Luo Sihai praised, “Great courage, Young Master Li.”

Li Zihan continued, “The family didn’t fight for the subway line project because of what Li Ziyu said. How foolish! Donghai is so big, and ten subway lines can’t cover it all.”

“There are hundreds of billions in this project, and they just let it go. They have become too complacent and lost their courage over the years.”

“Great! I, Luo Sihai, promise you this. As long as the money is in place, you don’t need to worry about anything else.”

“Tonight, we will surely take down one of the subway lines. Then let’s look forward to a successful cooperation.”

Lin Tian, though ignored, wasn’t upset. He knew he was the most dispensable among them. If not for knowing some of Li Zihan’s secrets, he couldn’t have brought him here.

Now that the cooperation was set, he relaxed. This time, they would definitely snatch the project from Su Zhenguo, and after tonight, his value would rise. Once tied to the Li and Luo families, he doubted Su Zhenguo could withstand them.

As for his safety, he wasn’t worried. These two would certainly not let him die. Li Zihan needed him as an agent, and Luo Sihai needed him to maintain good relations with Li Zihan.

Lin Tian thought he should have done this earlier, instead of foolishly opening a supermarket.

In the evening, numerous luxury cars headed towards the Sihai Hotel. The hotel entrance buzzed with greetings from various big shots. Su Lin arrived alone at the hotel, not accompanying Zhao Yanyan or Su Zhenguo.

After all, Zhao Yanyan was coming with Zhao Tiande, and Su Zhenguo’s invitation was from the Qin family, while Su Lin’s was from the third elder of the Qin family. Thus, they chose to attend separately.

Arriving at the Sihai Hotel, Su Lin could only marvel at how many wealthy people there were in this world, and that was just in Donghai.

“Sir, please show your invitation.”

Su Lin presented the invitation from Qin Delin, and the waiter’s attitude changed respectfully, “Sir, you may go up.”

Su Lin noticed the waiter’s subtle expression but said nothing, nodding and entering the hotel.

After Su Lin left, the waiter told a bodyguard, “Quickly inform the third elder, his guest has arrived.”

“Understood!”

As soon as Su Lin arrived at the hotel’s banquet hall by elevator, a waiter guided him to a private room. There, he met Qin Delin, the third elder of the Qin family.

Qin Delin, seeing Su Lin empty-handed, was slightly frustrated, “Xiao Su, didn’t I tell you to bring blue and white porcelain with you? Why did you come empty-handed?”

Su Lin, somewhat speechless, responded, “Elder, today is your granddaughter’s birthday. Is blue and white porcelain supposed to be a birthday gift? You’re not trying to gain something for nothing, are you?”

Qin Delin then cunningly suggested, “I might not be trying to gain something for nothing, but I can help you gain a wife. How about it? Interested in our family’s legitimate daughter, Xiaoyue?”

Su Lin quickly waved his hand, “Forget it. I haven’t even seen what she looks like. Your Qin family doesn’t even allow a photo to be posted online. She must be a dinosaur, very ugly, too embarrassed to be seen, hence the exaggerated praise.”

“You, kid… Others would be excited for days hearing this news, but you look down on our Xiaoyue. If it weren’t for your blue and white porcelain, I wouldn’t bother with you,” Qin Delin retorted.

Su Lin sarcastically replied, “Yeah, I really hope you ignore me so I can leave.”

“No, wait a minute,” Qin Delin insisted.

Su Lin stood there, skeptical, as Qin Delin got up and fetched a delicate box from the room. “You want me to authenticate this for you?” Su Lin asked, surprised.

Qin Delin nodded, “I unexpectedly acquired a jade porcelain, entirely made of jade, genuine old pit kind. But this jade porcelain is a bit strange; it’s hard to determine its era. Can you help me authenticate it?”

Hesitating briefly, Su Lin then agreed, “I knew you wouldn’t invite me over just for your granddaughter’s birthday.”

Sighing, Qin Delin explained, “I’ve had this jade porcelain for many years and consulted countless experts. They all say it’s an old piece and valuable, but not a treasure. But I always feel it’s a genuine treasure.”

Hearing this, Su Lin became interested, knowing a person like Qin Delin wouldn’t randomly consider something a treasure. Su Lin put on the white gloves handed to him by Qin Delin, who also donned a pair, before slowly opening the box.

As soon as the box was opened, Su Lin couldn’t take his eyes off the jade porcelain inside.

[Ancient Jade Porcelain: A product of the Great Tang era, containing a martial arts jade pendant at its base.]. [Ding~! Congratulations, host, for discovering the third needle of Taiyi Divine Needle – Yangyan Needle! (The Yangyan Needle, a fire attribute, is a domineering acupuncture technique. Do not use it lightly on patients, or the consequences will be unimaginable.)].

Hearing the system’s voice, Su Lin was stunned. This was the martial arts technique that allowed the protagonist, Xiao Chen, to enter the world of cultivation.

The Taiyi Divine Needle was an extremely powerful acupuncture technique that could save or kill people and even cultivate immortality.

Later, when Xiao Chen was seriously injured, he would heal himself with a couple of needles, then leap around killing enemies above his level.

The Yangyan Needle, an aggressive needle, was particularly domineering. If a patient had poor physical constitution, one needle could instantly kill.

It was also very efficient for killing enemies, turning them to ash with a single needle, leaving no trace – extremely convenient.

Su Lin never expected to find this third needle in Qin Delin’s possession so early. It was like finding a needle in a haystack.
