The Supreme Martial Expert of the Female CEO Chapter 1770 - 1768: Seed

Xin Shuang sighed and showed a trace of worry on her face.

"What's wrong? Didn't I promise to help you find the mole? Is there sothing else that's bothering you?" Ling Feng asked.

Xin Shuang sighed lightly and said, "Actually... I'm worried about my grandfather's illness, and I don't know how he's doing now."

"What's wrong with the old man's health?" Ling Feng asked.

Xin Shuang shook her head, "I don't know, I just know that my grandfather's health has never been good. It's said that it's a hidden wound from a duel with a super expert years ago. The hidden injury recurred half a year ago, and he lost all his strength. It's said that only the Ghost Spirit Grass can completely cure my grandfather's hidden injury and restore his original strength!"

"So, our Xin Family's direct lineage has been searching everywhere for the Ghost Spirit Grass. I luckily got news of it along the way and obtained it!" Xin Shuang said softly, "I thought that once I returned, my grandfather's illness would soon be cured, but I never expected Xin Yan would kill for the Ghost Spirit Grass because of this..."

Xin Yan wanting to kill Xin Shuang for the Ghost Spirit Grass was a huge shock to her!

Ling Feng exhaled and said, "A commoner has no cri, but having a valuable treasure is a cri. Many things in this world won't change because of your attitude. You shouldn't feel any guilt or unease. Since Xin Yan wants to seize the Ghost Spirit Grass from you, he must bear the consequences of failure!"

"Xin Shuang, being part of a big family, you should be more accustod to these kinds of things!" Ling Feng said, looking at Xin Shuang.

Xin Shuang silently nodded. She hugged her knees and said, "Yes, I knew things like this would happen. But when it really happened, I found it hard to accept!"

"I'm sorry, Big Brother Lei. I shouldn't have told you about these things, but I can't think of anyone else to talk to about them! Not even Uncle Xin Yu, since he is also a mber of the Xin Family... Sigh!"

Ling Feng chuckled and shook his head, "It's alright. If you want to confide in soone, I'll listen."

Ling Feng knew that what Xin Shuang wanted was nothing more than to vent her frustrations, and on this airship, he was the only one who knew the truth and could make her feel at ease.

"Sotis, I know that my grandfather is harsh on so of my brothers. According to him, 'Jade must be carved to beco a gem,' so he rigorously trains them. I also know that so of my brothers don't like my grandfather and don't like either because I'm spoiled by him!"

There was a hint of sadness in Xin Shuang's eyes. "But I really didn't expect today's events to happen, and it made see my family in a stranger light! Maybe... I can no longer be my grandfather's obedient granddaughter; it's ti for to change!"

Xin Shuang is not a Holy Mother, nor a fool. Since Xin Yan could plant spies around her, it's very likely others have done the sa.

Moreover, everything she has cos from her grandfather's favor. If he really can't recover, what will she do? Would those brothers filled with jealousy towards her really treat her kindly?

For so reason, from Xin Yan, Xin Shuang felt a chill and loneliness.

"What do you plan to do?" At this mont, Ling Feng suddenly asked, "Don't you intend to beco the Family Head of the Xin Family?"

Xin Shuang was taken aback, then pointed at herself in disbelief, "? Beco the head of the Xin Family? How is that possible!"

"Why not?" Ling Feng asked curiously.

Xin Shuang chuckled bitterly and said, "The Xin Family passes the role of Family Head to n, never to won. How could a woman beco the head? That's ridiculous!"

Ling Feng smiled and said, "There never was a female head before, but that doesn't an there never will be! Xin Shuang, if you want to control your own fate, you must fight for it, unless... you are willing to endure what happened today again, but by then, I fear you won't have as many people willing to risk their lives for you!"

Hesitation appeared on Xin Shuang's face. Ling Feng's words seed to carry a tempting magic, continuously enticing her heart.

"In the world I live in, it's also a male-dominated, power-based society!" Ling Feng said calmly, "But in our thousands of years of history, there was a woman who broke through a male-dominated world and beca our first Empress!"

"A woman becoming an Emperor? That's unbelievable!" Xin Shuang's eyes widened.

Ling Feng smiled and slightly altered Empress Wu Zetian's story and told it to Xin Shuang. After he finished, a brilliant light shone in Xin Shuang's eyes, "This Wu iniang is truly remarkable, ascending to the highest throne as a woman."

Ling Feng nodded, "That's right, she was our first female emperor in thousands of years. I think you should be able to draw so strength from her! When you bring the Ghost Spirit Grass back to the Xin Family, your grandfather's illness should get better, but similarly, this might cause your brothers to hold a grudge against you!"

"If you can always live under your grandfather's protection, that would be fine. But if one day... you should understand!" Ling Feng said.

Although not explicitly stated, Xin Shuang's face was already sowhat grim. Actually, when she returned to her room, she seriously thought about this matter, which is also why she unconsciously ca to Ling Feng to express her worries.

But Ling Feng's words truly planted a seed in her heart.

If soone could beco the first Empress in history, then why couldn't she beco the head of the Xin Family? Is it just because she's a woman? If Wu iniang could achieve that, why can't she?

Seeing the look in Xin Shuang's eyes, Ling Feng knew that his words successfully planted a seed in Xin Shuang's heart, one that would definitely take root and grow at the right ti!

Ling Feng wasn't just saying these things out of boredom. He felt that to better leverage the Xin Family's power, Xin Shuang needed to have such ambition!

Only then would she rely more on Ling Feng, allowing him to use her to accomplish his tasks. Of course, this was also a problem Xin Shuang needed to solve, making it a win-win situation!

Just then, Ling Feng's door was knocked on again, "Brother Lei, are you in there?"
