Chapter 386: Have the Daughter Make the Move

Back to Chapter List
?Mobile reading Upon opening his eyes after the weekly rotation, Qin Feng's eyes flashed with a gleam. Suddenly, he felt as though being watched. Furrowing his brows, he thought that within this house, aside from Su Wu, no one dared to secretly observe him. This girl had already suffered a setback once—yet still didn't seem to have learned from it. Well then, he would reluctantly take on the task of guiding Su Grandfather in educating his daughter, so that she wouldn't become overly proud and boastful. Such a person would surely face difficulties in society. With a thought, his celestial steel sword materialized out of thin air. Su Wu, who had already begun to feel drowsy in the adjacent room, was startled upon seeing the sword suddenly appear. She thought she might be having a vision, so she rubbed her eyes. Upon closer inspection, she confirmed it was indeed a sword—what surprised her even more was that the sword floated in mid-air, an utterly unusual sight. Qin Feng's lips slightly curled upward, thinking that he was far from done being amazed—he intended to really impress her. Under the control of his mental focus, the flying sword began to move freely: first circling around him, then weaving between the chandeliers, its speed gradually increasing. Su Wu didn't blink once, her gaze fixed steadily on the monitor. If she hadn't witnessed it firsthand, or if she weren't in her own home, she would have certainly believed it was a movie special effect. Well, well, I'm not intentionally setting your house on fire at all. As for those two dark patches on the roof—believe me, you won't mind that, will you? With a slightly flushed face, he retracted his flying sword and steadied himself firmly on the ground. "I think it's time I went out and took a look around." He felt he needed to leave right away, to get some fresh air. Just as he was slipping out of the room, a piercing scream erupted from the adjacent room—one that sounded like a soprano. Su Kui and his wife rushed over immediately, asking concernedly what had happened to their daughter. Su Wu's face was pale, and since the footage came from a backup camera, she hadn't had time to record it. In a near-frightened tone, she recounted what she had just seen to her parents. Su Fu was skeptical, saying, "Little Wu, you must be having a vision!" Seeing her mother still unconvinced, Su Wu quickly added, "No, I can swear it's all true—every word I just said." "Su Kui nodded and said, 'I truly believe you're telling the truth!' 'How could that be?' Su夫人 remained unconvinced. 'Just appearing out of nowhere with a sword—this sword flying around isn't enough; it can even carry people along with it. That's something only seen in movies!' Su Kui shook his head. 'Madam, you're mistaken. Such people actually exist in reality. Perhaps you've never heard of them. In our ancient China, there's a profession that has been passed down for thousands of years—immortal cultivation. Indeed, they are the very beings known as immortals. Unlike ordinary people, they enhance their abilities through cultivation. They live far longer than we do, and they can use incantations and flying swords. Of course, strictly speaking, they are not yet true gods until they officially ascend to heaven.' 'Actually, there are real cultivators in the world,' Su夫人 exclaimed in amazement. 'I always thought they were just mythical tales.' Su Wu said urgently, 'Then, Dad, does that mean Qin Feng is also a cultivator?' Su Kui nodded and said, "As long as what you just described is something he truly observed, he must be a cultivator. That's why the top officials from the Celestial Dynasty sent him alone to face off against the Blood Shadow Assassins—this reflects their absolute confidence in him!" Su Xiaoniu frowned slightly, "But I heard that the Blood Shadow assassins themselves aren't ordinary people either. The International Police have launched numerous operations against them, only to come away empty-handed, with heavy casualties on their own side. Given the International Police's rigorous standards, the individuals selected for these missions are all elite. This clearly shows that the Blood Shadow Assassins are indeed formidable!" The elder smiled, "You forgot this: when Xiao Qin was in China, he successfully dealt with one of the Blood Shadow assassins. That alone proves the point. Moreover, the people of the Celestial Dynasty have long been influenced by Confucian values, and rarely undertake ventures without a clear sense of confidence—especially the senior leaders who hold real power. They would never risk their careers on such a gamble!" Su Fu was completely stunned, looking at her husband and saying, "I never realized how keen your eyes were—how come you've been so persistent in cultivating good relations with Qin Feng!" "Indeed," the old man beamed proudly, "I immediately sensed he wasn't an ordinary person. You wouldn't believe how rare it is for cultivators to appear in the mundane world. Of course, anyone who chooses to enter public service always leaves a significant mark in history!" Su Fu nodded in agreement, saying, "Fortunately, we've treated him as a distinguished guest. If things had turned sour and he became our enemy, our Su family would surely be in serious trouble!" Su Kui agreed with this assessment, but Su Wu remained unconvinced, saying, "What's so extraordinary about cultivators? Can they really dominate everything and disregard our laws? Even if he's exceptionally skilled, isn't he still just one person?" The old man frowned, saying, "The real issue is you, my father—myself, too, have long disregarded legal constraints. Once a conflict arises with someone of strong power, neither party is bound by conventional rules, are they not?" "Su Xiaoniu nodded and asked, 'So Dad means that we really need to court Qin Feng?' The old man smiled and said, 'Exactly. Not only do we need to court him, but we must do so tirelessly. If we can make him a friend—or even an ally—then our Su family will be in a secure position!' Su夫人's eyes lit up, and she took her daughter's hand and said, 'Why don't we send Xiao Wu? First, young people share common ground. Second, Xiao Wu is so beautiful—once we win him over as a boyfriend, he'll be firmly tied to our Su family's cause!' 'Mom!,' Su Wu protested, 'He's not a good person. He was being unfaithful to the flight attendants on the plane. And he even ate my tofu. How can you possibly let someone like that be my boyfriend!' "Madam Su smiled and said, 'It's wonderful that you enjoy my tofu—it shows how charming your daughter is. Your father has always said, "A man isn't truly young unless he's lively and spirited." Moreover, even when you sent Lisa to charm him, he remained unmoved, which proves he's a man of principle!"
