Young Master, Don't Show Off - Chapter 10
[Chapter 10 Night Raid]
Qin Cong supported himself and stood up with one hand, and covered his chest with the other hand. He looked at Zhao Lingyin angrily and asked, “This is the grudge between Lin Xiu and me. What does it have to do with you?”
Zhao Lingyin looked down at Qin Cong and said lightly, “His business is my business.”
Qin Cong was shocked. Could it be that Lin Xiu and Zhao Lingyin were in love?
No, this is impossible. Lin Xiu is nothing but pretty. Qin Cong believes that the second lady of the Zhao family is not such a superficial person.
But no matter what, with Zhao Lingyin stopping him, he couldn’t do anything to Lin Xiu today.
Qin Cong’s chest flashed with yellow light, and he felt that the broken bones were not so painful. He struggled to get up from the ground, glanced at Lin Xiu coldly, and said, “We will meet again…”
After that, he limped away.
When passing by Lin Xiu, Qin Cong suddenly stopped, raised his lips slightly, and said in a low voice: “Oh, I forgot to tell you that I did have someone kill that woman. I wanted to favor her, but she was so blind that she wanted to report to the police. She really didn’t know how to behave… How about it, are you angry?”
Lin Xiu’s expression gradually solidified, his fists clenched, and his knuckles turned slightly white.
Qin Cong looked at him mockingly, then turned and left.
Zhao Lingyin looked back at Lin Xiu and asked, “How did you provoke him?”
Lin Xiu did not explain too much and changed the subject, “What ability did he have just now?”
Zhao Lingyin curled her lips and said, “It’s just the stone magic of the earth level. When you awaken again, he will not be your opponent.”
Today’s mood was destroyed by Qin Cong. Lin Xiu had no interest in going to the School of Magic to read books. She looked at Zhao Lingyin and asked, “Are you still practicing like last time today?”
Zhao Lingyin shook her head and said, “Too much is as bad as too little. Let’s wait for two more days, otherwise your body can’t bear it.” Lin Xiu said
, “I can do it.”
He was somewhat stimulated by Qin Cong. Even this kind of scum and garbage was not an opponent, which made Lin Xiu very unwilling. Whether it was strength or freezing ability, only after awakening for the second time, the strength will have a qualitative leap compared to ordinary people.
Zhao Lingyin did not refuse Lin Xiu’s insistence.
Only if Lin Xiu practiced well and improved her strength as soon as possible could she be worthy of her sister, so she was willing to help Lin Xiu practice.
Zhao Lingyin said, “Then let’s go to your house.”
When Lin Xiu and Zhao Lingyin returned to the Lin Mansion, the imperial physician invited by Ping’an Bo had already arrived. However, Lin Xiu knew that his amnesia was because he carried another soul in his body. Even if Hua Tuo was alive and Bian Que was reborn, they could not give a cure. In
the end, the imperial physician only told Ping’an Bo and his wife that there was no cure for amnesia. As for whether he could regain his memory in the future, it depended on chance.
Because it didn’t work, the imperial physician returned half of the consultation fee when he left. Lin Xiu felt painful. Ping’an Bo spent 100 taels to invite this imperial physician. He only earned so much as a clerk in the Qingli Division in a year. These imperial physicians were robbing money when they went out to see patients.
Zhao Lingyin realized that Lin Xiu was not pretending not to know her when he was in the brothel. She was just angry that Lin Xiu had lost his memory, but he still went to the brothel. Fortunately, she happened to bump into him, otherwise he didn’t know what he would do there.
Thinking of this, she felt a little angry again and planned to toss him a few more times.
Lin Xiu and Zhao Lingyin closed the door and practiced in the room.
In another room, Ping An Bo sighed and said, “Lingyin is already a rare genius in Da Xia, and Lingjun is even more gifted. She met a famous teacher when she was young. I heard that her special skills have been awakened five times. Xiu’er is really not worthy of her…”
Ping An Bo’s wife glared at him and said, “How can you say that about your own son?”
Ping An Bo said, “I am just telling the truth. The Zhao family and us are already worlds apart. Instead of being tied to this impossible engagement, which makes no one feel comfortable, it is better to cancel the engagement as soon as possible. , find a wife who
is suitable for Xiu’er, so that the Lin family can be passed on. “Mrs. Ping’an also knew that her husband’s words made sense. After a moment of silence, she also said: “Yes, after all, we are not worthy of him. This engagement is not good for anyone. I also want to hold my grandson as soon as possible. It is better to discuss with Xiu’er that we don’t want this engagement.”
While the couple was discussing this matter in the room, in Lin Xiu’s room, he hugged his arms in front of his chest, shivering, and a layer of frost condensed on his eyebrows.
In the end, he couldn’t bear it anymore, so he could only shiver and say: “Ling, Lingyin, can you hold back a little, I can’t stand it…”
Zhao Lingyin glanced at him lightly and asked: “Have you forgotten what happened just now?”
Thinking of what happened in front of the Yishu Academy just now, if Lingyin hadn’t appeared, he might have broken a few ribs. Lin Xiu gritted his teeth and said: “Come on, I’m still okay!”
At noon, Lin Xiu was wrapped in a quilt.
Although he suffered a lot, this kind of practice can obviously improve his internal energy. If Lingyin can help him every day, Lin Xiu is confident that he can awaken for the second time within half a year.
After dinner, Lin Xiu came to the Academy of Extraordinary Arts again.
He sat alone in the corner of the library, slowly flipping through a book. The extraordinary art that Qin Cong awakened was called the Stone Art, which could petrify the body partially or completely. In history, people who possessed this art had awakened six times at most, so this art was listed as a top-grade earth-level art.
After learning this, Lin Xiu understood why Lingyin was so disdainful of him.
When Lin Xiu awakened for the second time, the energy in his body was enough to support him to condense a thick layer of ice outside his body, which was similar to Qin Cong’s ability, but with many more changes than his ability.
But that was after Lin Xiu awakened again.
There are all kinds of strange and strange arts in this world. In order to avoid not knowing how to deal with and restrain them next time, Lin Xiu did not even eat dinner. He stayed in the library of the Yishu Academy all day until the library closed at night.
The imperial city will be closed at 11:00 p.m., which is almost equivalent to 9 p.m. All the government offices in the front palace, including the students and teachers of the Yishu Academy and the Martial Arts Academy, must leave the imperial city before then.
Lin Xiu walked out of the imperial city just before the palace gate closed. Sun Dali dozed off against the city wall. Lin Xiu called him a few times before he woke up.
Sun Dali rubbed his sleepy eyes and asked, “Master, why are you out so late today?”
Lin Xiu did not go home. On the one hand, he was fascinated by reading, and on the other hand, he wanted to avoid embarrassment with the couple of the Earl of Ping’an. He did not explain too much and said, “Go back.” The
Lin family is some distance away from the imperial city. The people living near the imperial city are all dignitaries. To go home, Lin Xiu needs to walk from the east to the west of the city, which takes about half an hour.
The royal capital implements a curfew policy at night. After midnight, people are not allowed to walk around the city at will. At this moment, there is still an hour before midnight, and there are no people on the streets.
Lin Xiu and Sun Dali walked and chatted as they walked from the east to the west of the city. The streets on both sides of the street gradually changed from high-rise mansions to low-rise houses, and there were fewer and fewer people on the road.
The west of the city is where civilians live. The security at night is not good. Unless there is something important, ordinary people are unwilling to go out at night.
After crossing another street, they will reach their home. When Lin Xiu and Sun Dali were about to reach the street corner, a stray dog barked at them twice at a certain alley.
Sun Dali shuddered and cursed, “Damn dog, you scared me.”
He was about to continue walking forward, but Lin Xiu’s footsteps suddenly stopped.
Sun Dali asked in confusion, “Master, why don’t you leave?”
Lin Xiu’s hair stood on end. To Sun Dali, it was just two dog barks, but to Lin Xiu’s ears, the dog was clearly saying, what on earth did that person want to do by hiding in the alley for so long…
The two were about to pass by the alley, and Lin Xiu suddenly stopped and stayed a foot away from the alley.
After a moment of calm, a cold light suddenly flashed in the dark alley.
“Master, be careful!”
Sun Dali reacted quickly and rushed towards Lin Xiu. A flying knife flew out of the alley and pierced his shoulder.
If he hadn’t stopped it, the flying knife would have been shot at Lin Xiu’s forehead!
Someone wanted his life!
“Master, run!”
This time, Sun Dali did not flee. He ignored the flying knife on his shoulder, shouted at Lin Xiu, and then flew towards the figure that came out of the dark alley.
The man was short and dressed in a black robe that completely covered his entire body.
He had never thought that the target this time had actually noticed his existence in advance. Didn’t the intelligence say that he was just an ordinary person who had not awakened any special skills and had not practiced martial arts?
If the other party didn’t notice it, he could have directly shot and killed him with one blow when he passed by the alley just now.
The young man stopped without any warning, as if he had discovered him, forcing him to change his plan and attack directly, but because he was on guard, his dart was blocked by the man next to the man.
As an assassin, martial arts is not his strong point. An excellent assassin should be able to kill with one strike and escape thousands of miles away.
When the assassin’s whereabouts are exposed, the best way is to escape immediately, but this mission is well rewarded, and he does not want to give up.
The strong man has already pounced on him. He raised his hand and shot five darts at the same time, heading straight for the man’s vital parts.
Facing the darts shot by this man, Sun Dali did not dodge or evade. Like a wild bull, he slammed into the man in black. The man in black clenched his right fist and punched out with a sound of breaking wind, with a force as heavy as a thousand pounds, hitting Sun Dali’s chest directly.
A punch could actually set off a sonic boom. This killer is obviously not an ordinary person. Lin Xiu didn’t know what abilities this person had, but the man in black obviously didn’t know Sun Dali’s abilities either.
Although he is not very talented and awakened late, his ability has already awakened for the second time over the years.
Unless others have awakened similar abilities, few people can compete with him in terms of strength. Zhao Lingyin can beat ten Sun Dali, but in terms of strength alone, ten Zhao Lingyins are not as good as him.
Boom!
When the black-clothed man’s fist hit the man opposite, his face changed immediately. He did not repel this man, but a greater force passed through his arm and into his body.
Bang!
Sun Dali’s shoulder hit the black-clothed man’s chest directly. His chest sank in an instant, and blood spurted out of his mouth. It seemed that he was breathing out more than breathing in. Sun Dali still had
a few darts stuck in his body. He put his hands on his waist and looked at the black-clothed man on the ground with disdain.
He said proudly: “That’s it?” After the voice fell, he scratched his head inexplicably and wondered: “Strange, why is my head so dizzy…”
Then, he fell to the ground and lost consciousness.
Thanks to Zhuosheng and Changshi for their rewards…
