Chapter 224: Foresight?
The Marriott Villa Area is a high-end villa community in Donghai owned by the Su Corporation. Initially, there were concerns about whether the villas would sell, but now it’s clear those worries were unnecessary; not only have the villas sold, but they’ve sold extrely well.
Many prominent families from across the country have decided to buy property in Donghai instead of staying in hotels, making Marriott Villa Area their top choice. At this point, nurous families have already moved in, including the Xiao family who purchased Villa Number One.
In the villa, Xiao Feiyu nervously faced Wang Yannian and respectfully said, “Mr. Wang, I apologize for the inconvenience of asking you to co all the way down here.”
Wang Yannian’s face remained expressionless as he asked, “How did you know that I was researching the formula for the Seven Revolutions Resurrection Pill?” After posing the question, Wang locked his gaze onto Xiao Feiyu, his eyes piercing, as if he could discern whether Xiao was lying.
One reason he descended from the mountain was Xiao Feiyu’s offer, which he couldn’t refuse. Another was that the knowledge of the Seven Revolutions Resurrection Pill was exclusive to him, unknown even to Xiao Chen, his disciple of ten years.
How Xiao Feiyu knew about it was indeed a thought-provoking question. He did not believe he had inadvertently revealed it in his sleep, suggesting that Xiao Feiyu had learned of it through so other ans, the nature of which Wang Yannian could not guess.
Anticipating Wang’s questions, Xiao had prepared his response. He said calmly, “Mr. Wang, you must be curious?”
Wang Yannian nodded, “You know you can’t lie in front of . If you’ve brought here and want my help, you need to let understand more about you.”
Xiao sighed, “Mr. Wang, have you heard of ‘foresight’?”
“Foresight?” Wang was taken aback. At his age, not much could shake him, but Xiao’s statent was hard for him to accept.
Xiao nodded, “When I ca to Donghai, it seed I awoke sothing that allowed to see fragnts of the future. At first, I thought it was false, but after arriving here, I realized that so fragnts matched what I had seen.”
Although Xiao Feiyu was fabricating the story, his performance, bolstered by a system that allowed him to purchase acting skills with villain points, made his semi-truthful words sowhat credible to Wang Yannian.
The most important point was that apart from foresight, Wang could think of no other explanation.
“Did you see the thod to concoct the Seven Revolutions Resurrection Pill?” Wang asked eagerly.
Xiao appeared surprised, “Mr. Wang, do you believe so quickly?”
Wang Yannian chuckled, “The knowledge of the Seven Revolutions Resurrection Pill is known only to ; no one else could possibly know. But now you do, so this ability of foresight must be real; otherwise, it can’t be explained.”
Xiao Feiyu nodded, “I haven’t seen the thod to make the pill, but I saw you collecting ingredients. Clearly, you have the thod. I believe that as ti goes on, I’ll see more fragnts, and eventually, I can provide you with a complete formula.”
Wang laughed, “So you’re issuing an IOU in hopes I’ll work for you?”
Xiao shook his head, “That’s too harsh, Mr. Wang. Xiao Chen is your direct disciple, and I believe if I don’t deal with Su Lin, you will, so we should be partners.”
“As for the pill formula, you may choose not to believe it, but my promise still stands.” Xiao Feiyu’s face wore a casual smile, as if everything was negotiable, but only he knew that he had Wang Yannian figured out.
This man had been chasing after the Seven Revolutions Resurrection Pill for nearly twenty years; how could he possibly give up? He would grasp even the slightest chance.
Wang Yannian nodded, “We can cooperate, but first, you must tell what you saw collecting in those fragnts.”
Xiao nodded, “Easy, Mr. Wang. You were collecting the legendary Jiao Dragon Pill.”
“Jiao Pill? Are there really Jiao Dragons in this world?”
“Not only do they exist, but there are also Jiao Dragon Pills. To my knowledge, Su Lin intercepted one at the Qin family’s charity auction and used it for his girlfriends’ cultivation.”
“A waste of heavenly treasures, a true waste,” Wang lanted, distressed. Using such a legendary substance for re cultivation was the lowest use; the best application would be for pill concoction.
And Su Lin had used it directly for his girlfriends’ cultivation.
“Dragon substances are Yin; why would several won use a Jiao Dragon Pill for cultivation?”
“They are all his girlfriends…”
“I see.”
“Jiao Dragon Pill, eh? That first ingredient is no ordinary thing. No wonder I’ve spent so long and still can’t analyze its components; I didn’t even know about the Jiao Dragon Pill, much less seen one,” Wang sighed.
Xiao Feiyu smiled, “Mr. Wang, can we cooperate now?”
“Of course. What do you want to do with Su Lin? Should I take action against him now, or should I capture him?”
Xiao shook his head, “I still need to exploit him; why would I capture him now?”
“Exploit?”
“Mmm! I want to play a slow ga with Su Lin, starting with his won. Mr. Wang, would you mind accompanying to the supermarket this afternoon?”
This issue with Zhao Yanyan, where he was kicked, still galled him—the pain and humiliation were unforgettable. Now that he had a chance, he was determined to deeply humiliate her. Humiliate Zhao Yanyan, humiliate Su Lin…
Wang nodded, “How you handle it is your business. I won’t show myself openly, but if you’re in danger, I will appear.”
Xiao laughed, “With Mr. Wang covertly protecting , that’s enough. Honestly, I can’t exactly go around announcing our partnership now.”
“You’re just like your father, overly cautious.”
“Mr. Wang, you know my father?” Xiao was surprised.
Wang nodded, “I know him. Back then, he was much like you, fighting over won until he was restrained by marriage.”
Xiao Feiyu, surprised, knew his father didn’t at all resemble a flirtatious playboy now.
“Xiao Feiyu, can you describe what the Jiao Dragon Pill looks like? I’ll have soone help look for it. Maybe we can find it.”
Xiao Feiyu readily agreed, knowing Wang would verify so information. He wasn’t concerned because everything he said was true. Including the foresight—having read the story in advance, what’s the difference between that and foresight?
Once Wang Yannian, the tool, was on board, it wouldn’t be easy for him to get off, especially now that Xiao Feiyu had enough leverage with the pill formula.
