Young Master, Don't Show Off - Chapter 128

[Chapter 128 Zhao Lingjun’s Abilities]

Last night was a sleepless night for many people in the royal capital.

For example, countless men who hated Lin Xiu with a vengeance. For

example, the only daughter of the Xue family. For

example, a certain actress in Lihuayuan. And the

second lady of the Zhao family.

But not Lin Xiu.

Last night, he occupied the entire bed alone. He slept as he wanted and turned over as he wanted. When he got up in the morning, the sun was already high in the sky.

He went out alone, ate a tray of buns and drank a bowl of porridge at the house of the pretty widow, and then came to the Yishu Academy.

When Princess Minghe saw Lin Xiu at the Yishu Academy, her heart was finally at ease.

Although he came a little later than usual, he finally came.

This shows that he is not a guy who forgets his loyalty for the sake of beauty.

She glanced at Lin Xiu and said, “I thought you wouldn’t come today.”

Lin Xiu smiled and said, “I was just joking last night. What could be more important than practicing? Let’s get started early. After finishing, I still have to go to the imperial concubine to pay my respects.”

Princess Minghe looked around and asked, “Where’s Zhao Lingyin?”

As soon as she finished speaking, a figure walked into the yard.

Zhao Lingyin looked a little haggard. Lin Xiu looked at her and asked in surprise, “Lingyin, did you not sleep well last night?”

“I’m fine.”

Zhao Lingyin shook her head and looked at Lin Xiu, hesitating.

Lin Xiu said, “You look very bad. How about forgetting it today? Go back and have a good rest.”

Zhao Lingyin said, “No, practice first.”

Two quarters of an hour later, Lin Xiu and Princess Minghe finished their practice. Zhao Lingyin glanced at Lin Xiu and said, “You, come with me, I have something to tell you.”

Lin Xiu followed her to her room. Zhao Lingyin looked up at him and said, “I’m sorry.”

Lin Xiu asked, “What are you sorry for?”

Zhao Lingyin said, “My sister slept with me last night…” Lin

Xiu waved her hand and said, “If it’s because of her, there’s no need to say sorry. In fact, I can understand her very well. Miss Zhao is a genius of her generation. Even in any country on the mainland, she will be fought over by countless forces. I feel wronged for her to marry a son of a second-class earl. Don’t worry, I know myself.”

Zhao Lingyin moved her lips, but didn’t say anything else.

On the night of the wedding, the bride left without saying goodbye, which was a great insult to any man.

She knew that Lin Xiu seemed to be indifferent, but he must be very uncomfortable.

She did not sleep last night, and now she only has regrets in her heart.

She has been trying her best to promote this engagement that should not exist, and it was she who pushed Lin Xiu into this abyss.

Xue Ning’er liked him so much, if he married Xue Ning’er, he should be very happy in this life, right?

Lin Xiu found that Lingyin seemed to have some misunderstandings about something.

Although he did not completely care about the fact that the bride ran away on the wedding night, he was not that upset.

Not only was he not upset, he was even a little relieved.

A relief like a heavy burden.

He never knew how to be someone else’s husband.

Care for her, love her, pamper her all the time, and for her, break off relations with all friends of the opposite sex?

Lin Xiu didn’t know, because he had no experience of marriage.

But it stands to reason that no matter whether it is a man or a woman, after getting married, abiding by one’s own behavior should be the most basic and reasonable requirement of marriage.

Even though Lin Xiu was once a sea king, he had such awareness.

This means that he can no longer flirt with Caiyi, can no longer stick with Xue Ning’er every day, can no longer miss A Ke’s moon, and even needs his wife’s consent for double cultivation with Princess Minghe’s palm.

But now, he doesn’t have to think about these issues.

He doesn’t have to think about how to be a good husband.

Because Zhao Lingjun didn’t want to be a good wife, she didn’t even want to be a wife.

No wife would leave quietly on the wedding night.

She was expressing an attitude to Lin Xiu.

Lin Xiu understood her attitude.

He also respected her choice.

…

Imperial study.

Emperor Xia was reading a book with color illustrations, and he was reading it with relish.

At this time, Zhu Jin walked in quickly and said to him, “Your Majesty, the latest news is that last night, on the wedding night of Lin Xiu and Zhao Lingjun, Zhao Lingjun was not in the bridal residence, and Lin Xiu stayed alone in the empty room all night…”

Emperor Xia closed the book and said in surprise, “Really?”

Zhu Jin said, “Absolutely true. Zhao Lingjun went back at noon today.”

Emperor Xia asked, “Where is Lin Xiu?”

Zhu Jin said, “After getting up in the morning, he first went to have breakfast, and then went to the Yishu Academy to practice. Now he is in Changchun Palace to see the spiritual pet of the imperial concubine…”

Emperor Xia breathed a sigh of relief and said, “Just as I guessed, how could the genius of the Zhao family succumb to the fate arranged by others?”

Zhu Jin sighed and said, “But even so, Lin Xiu is too pitiful. On the wedding night, the bride ran away. For a man, what a humiliation…”

Although Lin Xiu was always rude to him and Zhu Jin didn’t like him very much, at this time, he also felt that Lin Xiu was really pitiful.

Emperor Xia was silent for a moment, then said, “Nine out of ten things in life go wrong. This is his fate. I hope he won’t blame me.”

Zhu Jin said quickly, “Even if Your Majesty doesn’t grant the marriage, they already have an engagement. Your Majesty can’t be blamed for this. If you want to blame someone, blame the ancestors who arranged the engagement for them…”

“In any case, I owe him a favor.” Emperor Xia thought for a moment and said, “Draft an edict. Lin Ting, the second-class earl, is quick-witted, honest, and kind-hearted. He is deeply loved by me. He will be promoted to the first-class earl as a reward…”

…

Changchun Palace.

Lin Xiu held Bai Ling in his arms and gently stroked its back with one hand. The little guy squinted his eyes and looked very happy.

The imperial concubine looked at him in surprise and asked, “You just got married yesterday. Why didn’t you accompany your wife to her parents’ home today? Why did you come to the palace?”

Lin Xiu continued to stroke the pet and smiled, saying, “I have been forced by the officials of the Ministry of Personnel to familiarize myself with various etiquette these days. I haven’t come to see Nannan for a long time. Now I have nothing to do, so I came to see her…”

The imperial concubine said, “Nannan has been doing well recently. You just got married, so you should accompany your wife. Go back quickly…”

Since the imperial concubine said so, Lin Xiu couldn’t stay for long.

When leaving Changchun Palace and passing Qianqiu Palace, two figures came out of the palace.

They were Li Baizhang and the imperial concubine.

Li Baizhang looked at Lin Xiu in surprise and asked, “Why are you here?”

When he met Lin Xiu’s eyes, he immediately realized something. His lips moved, but he couldn’t say anything in the end. He just looked at him with sympathy.

“Greetings, Madam Shufei.”

Lin Xiu bowed to Shufei, then turned and walked towards the palace gate.

Li Baizhang sighed and said, “Father shouldn’t have granted the marriage so early. I don’t know how many people’s happiness has been ruined by this marriage…”

Shufei just smiled and said, “Blessing or curse, curse or blessing, who can tell? Good things may turn into bad things, and bad things may turn into good things. Whether it is good or bad, I’m afraid only he himself knows…”

Lin Xiu walked out of the harem and passed through the corridor of the central palace. Suddenly, there was a burst of hurried footsteps behind him. Zhu Jin ran over with the imperial edict in his arms and said, “Lin Xiu, please stay. I have something good to tell you. His Majesty has just promoted your father to the first-class earl. In recent years, your father is the only one who has been promoted to the first-class earl…”

Lin Xiu nodded and said, “I see.”

Seeing that Lin Xiu didn’t look happy at all, Zhu Jin didn’t say anything more. He looked at him with sympathy and said, “I still have to go to announce the edict, so I’ll leave first…”

Although the first-class earl is still only an earl, his status is not low among all the powerful and nobles. Dad will definitely be very happy when he hears the imperial edict.

Lin Xiu did not return to the palace to share his joy with them. After leaving the palace, he went to the martial arts academy to practice.

Xue Ning’er was not here. Lin Xiu had not seen her for many days.

It was winter now. He practiced in the martial arts academy for three hours, and it was almost completely dark. When Lin Xiu walked out of the palace, he stood at the gate of the palace and suddenly didn’t know where to go.

He could no longer go back to his old home.

He was a family man now and could no longer live with his parents. Even if he went back, they would definitely ask him the reason. Lin Xiu didn’t want them to worry about him.

After thinking about it, he returned to the wedding residence given to him by Emperor Xia.

In addition to granting a mansion, Emperor Xia also granted ten maids and ten servants. Lin Xiu did not trust the servants given by Emperor Xia. He was sure that there must be his spies among them.

Lin Xiu walked into the mansion, and several maids immediately said, “Greetings, young master…”

Lin Xiu looked calm and asked, “Is the lady back?”

A maid said, “The lady came back in the afternoon and is now in the west wing.”

The east and west wings are for guests to stay in. As the owner, she should live in the main room.

Lin Xiu walked to the door of the west wing and knocked on the door.

A voice soon came from the room: “Come in.”

Lin Xiu pushed the door open and looked at the beautiful woman sitting at the table. She said calmly: “Miss Zhao, I think we need to talk.”

Zhao Lingjun nodded slightly, and a chair moved out of thin air from the side. She stretched out her hand to Lin Xiu and said, “Sit down.”

Seeing this, Lin Xiu’s eyes condensed slightly.

This was the first time Lin Xiu saw Zhao Lingjun use her ability to move objects out of thin air. Could her ability be to control objects?

Soon Lin Xiu denied this possibility.

Controlling objects is a high-level ability after the evolution of flying ability. Zhao Lingjun’s ability when she was young was not flying, so it is impossible to control objects now. There is only one possibility.

Telekinesis.

Her ability is telekinesis.

A person who possesses extreme attack, ultimate defense, and unsolvable control, a person who stands at the top of thousands of supernatural arts and has unlimited possibilities.

As we all know, supernatural masters divide supernatural powers into four levels: heaven, earth, black, and yellow.

The reason why the two supernatural arts of ice and fire are heavenly is that they have the power of heavenly supernatural arts.

And telekinesis is heavenly, just because there is no higher level.

Telekinesis is similar to controlling objects, but it is more than just controlling objects.

After Xue Ning’er’s ability evolved, she was also able to move the chair through the air.

And telekinesis, in addition to moving it, can also turn this chair into dust in an instant. What

Xue Ning’er can do, she can do. What

Xue Ning’er can’t do, she can also do.

No wonder.

No wonder the dog emperor is so afraid of her.

No wonder so many powerful and wealthy families in the royal capital want to marry her.

With this ability, this talent, as long as she is given time, she will be invincible sooner or later.

But that was in the past.

Now Lin Xiu is here. No matter

how hard she tries, she can barely be the second in the world.
