Young Master, Don't Show Off - Chapter 116
[Chapter 116 Qin Wan’s Ability [10,000 Subscriptions and More]]
Because of the delay caused by his bravery, Lin Xiu was late for the Yishu Academy again, and was scolded by Princess Minghe for this.
Lin Xiu found that Princess Minghe was much more active than him in the matter of ice and fire dual cultivation.
After all, even if he didn’t practice dual cultivation with her, Lin Xiu had a basic five times the speed of cultivation. With her, it was only from five times to six times, and the overall growth rate was very limited.
But for Princess Minghe, it was a temptation of double cultivation speed.
After tasting the marrow and knowing the taste, the conventional cultivation was already boring to her.
Lin Xiu could understand this point. It is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality.
After getting used to the six times speed of cultivation, if he returns to the initial speed of cultivation, he will also have a big gap, and he may give up Yishu and directly practice martial arts alone.
Lin Xiu couldn’t help but worry about Princess Minghe’s future.
He was about to get married, and Princess Minghe would also get married in the future. By then, one of them would be a married woman and the other a married man. Could they still practice dual cultivation hand in hand every day without the other half’s knowledge?
If Lin Xiu was her consort, he would definitely feel uncomfortable.
Considering from the perspective of his future wife, after marriage, Lin Xiu should not get too close to Princess Minghe and the others.
Lin Xiu sighed. For people like him and Li Baizhang, this is tantamount to losing more than half of the fun in life.
Every time he thought of Li Baizhang, he would feel better. No matter
how bad his life was, it couldn’t be worse than Li Baizhang.
He should cherish the few remaining happy times. After all, such days are one less day.
The New Year is coming in a few days, and the students have already had their holidays. In addition, the weather is cold. When Lin Xiu came to the martial arts school, there were no people here.
But a white shadow was still practicing sword seriously on the training ground.
Xue Ning’er took off her coat and hung it on the wooden stake, and put on a thin training suit. She had been practicing here for a long time. Even if she was only wearing a single piece of clothing, her forehead was sweating, and a few strands of hair were messy on her face. She was still swinging the sword seriously.
When Lin Xiu walked over, Xue Ning’er heard the footsteps, turned around, smiled, and said, “I thought you wouldn’t come today.”
Lin Xiu smiled and asked, “How long have you been here?”
Xue Ning’er said, “It’s been almost an hour. You’re here, just in time for us to practice together.”
Most of the training grounds of the martial arts academy were occupied by only Lin Xiu and Xue Ning’er. One of them practiced spear and the other practiced sword. Occasionally, they would feed each other with tricks.
Lin Xiu’s martial arts talent was based on his eyesight and speed. Xue Ning’er’s true qi was weak, but her footwork was light and elegant. In terms of footwork alone, even those in the Tianzi Academy could not match her.
This was of course the benefit brought by her special ability. The martial arts path is not only about true qi, but there are many ways.
Some people win with true qi, some win with speed, some are good at weapons, and some are good at footwork. If any of these points are achieved to the extreme, they can make up for the shortcomings of the other ones. If you can have more than two points at the same time, you already have the potential of a master.
Lin Xiu helped Xue Ning’er to feed dozens of moves. When the two sat aside to rest, Lin Xiu remembered something and asked Xue Ning’er: “Ning’er, do you know what Qin Wan’s ability is?”
Xue Ning’er glanced at him and asked: “Why do you suddenly ask about her?”
Lin Xiu said: “I met her today.”
He briefly mentioned what happened just now to Xue Ning’er. Xue Ning’er couldn’t help but smile and said: “As expected, she is the person I like. I knew that the vixen couldn’t seduce you…”
Lin Xiu said: “Seriously, I just found out recently that she is a student of Tianzi Academy. Is her ability very strong?”
Xue Ning’er nodded and said: “Her ability is very strange. She can affect or even control other people’s minds. That’s why I reminded you before to stay away from her, otherwise you don’t know when she will be charmed by her…”
Lin Xiu was shocked. Qin Wan’s ability was actually spiritual!
People in this world divide the ability into four levels: heaven, earth, and yellow. Lin Xiu, who has multiple abilities, certainly knows that this classification is not strict. Different abilities have different uses and cannot be simply judged by grade.
He himself roughly divided the special arts into five major systems.
That is, the spiritual system, the elemental system, the physical system, and the auxiliary system. The other strange ones are listed separately.
Ice, fire, thunder, wind, and water can be classified as the elemental system, strength, golden body, hardening, etc. are classified as the physical system, and animal language, flight, invisibility, and treatment are classified as auxiliary systems.
The spiritual system is a very special type of special arts.
They are not like ice, fire, and thunder, which can affect the real environment when they are used, nor are they like strength, golden body, etc., which can strengthen the body.
But Lin Xiu would rather meet the strong men of the elemental system and the physical system than the spiritual system.
Because their attack methods are hard to defend against, some can directly affect people’s minds and make people hallucinate, some can control people’s consciousness, and some can even directly launch mental attacks, which can really kill people invisibly.
They are the most mysterious and difficult of all the special arts.
No wonder Lingyin and Xue Ning’er both reminded Lin Xiu to stay away from Qin Wan, she is much more dangerous than other students in Tianzi Academy.
Lin Xiu was almost certain that Qin Wan must have used her magical powers on him in the Qingli Division just now. Fortunately, he was determined and did not fall for it.
This woman who can affect people’s minds invisibly is really dangerous!
Xue Ning’er glanced at him and said, “I didn’t lie to you, this woman is very dangerous. She can confuse others silently. You still don’t believe it…”
Lin Xiu has realized the danger of Qin Wan. It turns out that you can’t just look at the appearance when judging people. At first, he only knew that Qin Wan was good, but now he knows Ning’er is fragrant. If there is a choice, Lin Xiu would rather be engaged to Xue Ning’er.
A girl who has eyes full of him, surrounding him every day, should only have happiness in the future, right?
At this time, in the east city of the royal capital, there is a three-story mansion.
From a certain wing room, there were howling sounds one after another.
A woman gnashed her teeth and said, “Master, Song’er and Bai’er have been bullied like this, you must avenge them!”
A middle-aged man looked at Qin Wan standing beside him with a sullen face and asked, “What happened?”
Qin Wan looked at the two people lying on the bed and said calmly, “They molested women on the street and were caught by the Qingli Division. Each of them was punished with twenty strokes of the cane.”
The middle-aged man frowned and said, “Don’t they have friends in the Qingli Division?”
Qin Wan said, “They have friends, aren’t they all their friends.”
At this time, a young man on the bed raised his head and gritted his teeth and said, “Dad, don’t listen to her. He obviously knows that guy. She just doesn’t want to plead for us. You know her ability. If she really wants to plead, will that guy refuse?”
At this time, the woman pointed at Qin Wan with an angry face and said, “Well, you did it on purpose. You watched my son get beaten on purpose. Master, look, this is my daughter. She doesn’t regard Song’er and Bai’er as a family at all!”
The middle-aged man’s face was as gloomy as water, and he said to Qin Wan, “Do you have any silver on you? Your two brothers were seriously injured. The medical expenses should cost a lot of silver…”
Qin Wan took out a purse from her sleeve, but before she opened it, the woman snatched it away.
She looked at Qin Wan with disgust and said, “Get out of here. I don’t want to see you in this house!”
Qin Wan turned around and left without saying a word.
She walked aimlessly on the street, and soon she came to the familiar noodle shop.
She raised her foot to go in, and suddenly realized that she was penniless now.
A mocking smile appeared on her face and she turned and left.
…
Night.
Lin Xiu came back from outside. After a day of practice, it was almost midnight.
It was New Year’s Eve soon. The curfew in the capital was cancelled. Some roadside stalls were open until late. Lin Xiu did not go home directly, but planned to eat something outside.
He was hungry after practicing for too long, which was very exhausting. He
could not sleep anyway, so he might as well fill his stomach first.
The prince had not made any moves during this period. No one knew that he went out, and no assassin would suddenly appear.
There was a wonton stall in front, and the fragrance wafted far away. When Lin Xiu strode over, his footsteps suddenly stopped. It was midnight.
Although there was no curfew these days, there were not many people on the street. Not far in front of him, a woman lowered her head and walked aimlessly on the street. It turned out to be Qin Wan.
She didn’t go home at night, but wandered outside?
At this time, Qin Wan also raised her head and looked at Lin Xiu, with a flash of surprise in her eyes.
It was so late, and he was also outside?
Although Lin Xiu was very wary of Qin Wan in his heart, he still had to say hello when he met her.
He smiled slightly and said, “Miss Qin, what a coincidence…”
Qin Wan said, “It’s so late, isn’t Mr. Lin going home?”
Lin Xiu said, “I’m hungry, so I came out to find something to eat.”
As soon as he finished speaking, his stomach suddenly made a “gurgling” sound.
Soon, Lin Xiu realized that it was not his stomach that made the sound.
He looked at Qin Wan, and the expression on Qin Wan’s face did not change, as if the sound had nothing to do with her.
Lin Xiu looked at the wonton stall not far away and asked, “How about I treat Miss Qin to a bowl of wontons?” The
wontons in this stall actually tasted average, but Lin Xiu was so hungry that he didn’t care much and ate five bowls in a row, while Qin Wan, who was beside him, also ate three bowls.
Lin Xiu was a little surprised. How long had she not eaten?
A bowl of wontons cost ten cents. Lin Xiu originally wanted to treat her to one bowl, but she ate three bowls. Lin Xiu lost twenty cents and felt a little distressed.
At the same time, he was also thinking in his heart, when he asked Qin Wan to eat wontons just now, was it his own idea, or was he controlled by Qin Wan?
This woman’s ability was too amazing, and Lin Xiu couldn’t be sure for a moment.
Could it be that the last time I lent her an umbrella and money, I was also controlled by her ability?
Thinking about it carefully, Lin Xiu didn’t dare to think about it anymore.
However, if he also has this ability-can’t he really do whatever he wants?
He can affect the mind and even thinking of others. He doesn’t need to speak himself to change the decision of the dog emperor and make him cancel the engagement.
If some evil people get this ability, they can use this ability to do some unscrupulous things. Lin Xiu just thinks about it and feels horrible.
It seems that she also feels that she has eaten too much. Qin Wan said to Lin Xiu: “I’m sorry, I haven’t eaten much all day today. Next time I have a chance, I will treat you to noodles.”
“Forget it, it’s not much money.” Lin Xiu waved his hand and said, “I’m sorry about what happened today. Please don’t blame me, Miss Qin.”
Qin Wan smiled slightly and said, “Don’t say that, Mr. Lin. This is their own fault. You are also fair and just. I should apologize to you. I shouldn’t plead for them.”
Her words made Lin Xiu’s good impression of her return a little.
After eating and drinking, Lin Xiu was ready to go home and sleep. He stood up and said, “I’ll go home first. Miss Wan’er should go back early. It’s not safe for a girl to go out at night…”
Qin Wan was silent for a moment, then looked up and said, “Mr. Lin, can you lend me a few more taels of silver? I’ll pay you back in a few days.”
Lin Xiu glanced at her and simply took out a silver ingot and gave it to her.
But he felt a little strange. Qin Wan’s father was a second-class baron after all. Why did she look like she was in need of silver? This was the second time she had borrowed money from him.
Lin Xiu did not send Qin Wan home like he sent Xue Ning’er.
His words just now were just polite. It was
certainly not safe for other girls to go out at night, but Qin Wan, if any blind bandit wanted to take advantage of her, she would have to pray for herself…
After Lin Xiu left, Qin Wan also left the wonton stall and came to the door of an inn.
She laughed at herself. Although the capital was big, there was no place that belonged to her home…
Lin Xiu had already climbed over the wall from the back door and returned home.
He quietly slipped into the room and was about to go to bed when his expression suddenly froze and he whispered, “Who!”
A dark figure sitting at the table asked, “Where have you been so late?”
The first order was 7,600, and the average order was probably only 6,600. I thought it would take several months to get 10,000 orders, but I didn’t expect it to increase by 4,000 in 20 days. I’ll add another chapter to thank everyone.
