Young Master, Don't Show Off - Chapter 138

[Chapter 138 Street encounter, danger!]

Lin Xiu did not expect that Qin Wan actually returned his money.

When she returned the money, Lin Xiu noticed that she still had several small-denomination silver notes of ten or twenty taels of silver in her hand, which added up to dozens of taels.

Students in the Yishu Academy are all subsidized. The students of the Huangzi Academy alone have ten taels per month, and the students of the Tianzi Academy seem to have fifty taels. This amount of money is not small. As long as she does not go to Zhaiyue Tower every day to order a table of dishes and eat and drink, she will never use it up.

Lin Xiu did not know where her money went, and how she could not even afford to eat.

In the afternoon, Lin Xiu was going to help A Ke investigate the case, and at this moment, he walked out of the palace with Qin Wan.

At the gate of the palace, two figures were waiting there.

Lin Xiu knew these two people. Not only did he know them, but he also beat them up. They were Qin Wan’s brothers, one named Qin Song and the other named Qin Bai. It was really a waste of two good names.

At this moment, the two people’s faces were a little pale, their expressions were a little strange, their eyes were full of bloodshot, and their spirits were extremely excited. Lin Xiu saw them like this and knew that they were taking drugs.

Among the powerful people in the royal capital, there is a popular thing called “Shenxian Powder”.

After taking this thing, the spirit will be extremely excited, and the whole person will be intoxicated.

This thing is extremely expensive, and the common people can’t afford it. Only these powerful children have the money to enjoy it. They have nothing to do except eating, drinking, whoring and gambling, and taking Shenxian Powder. After taking it, the spirit is excited, irritable and angry, and they run to the street to tease women and fight…

If this thing is banned, the public security in the royal capital should be improved a lot.

But “Shenxian Powder” has extremely high profits and is controlled by several top powerful people. The background is bigger than Hongniju and Ningxiangzhai. It is almost impossible to shake it. Not to mention Lin Xiu, even the current emperor can’t ban it.

When the two saw Lin Xiu, they were really jealous of each other and rolled up their sleeves to rush up, but when they thought that Lin Xiu was good at fighting and was an official of the Qingli Division, they would be beaten now and again when they arrived at the Qingli Division. It was too unprofitable, so they finally resisted the urge.

The two brothers glared at Lin Xiu, and one of them said, “Boy, don’t be complacent. Wait for us. Sooner or later, you will regret it!”

Lin Xiu glanced at them lightly and said, “I’ll wait.”

The two ignored Lin Xiu. Qin Song looked at Qin Wan and asked, “You got the money from the college, right? Give it to us quickly.”

Qin Wan took out a few banknotes expressionlessly and handed them to them.

After the two got the money, they didn’t even look at Qin Wan and immediately went into a casino on the street.

Lin Xiu looked at Qin Wan in surprise and asked, “Is this the reason why you can’t afford food and have no place to stay at night? You know they took the money and did something bad, but you gave it back to them?”

Qin Wan bent her fingers and counted, saying, “This time it’s 46 taels and 7 cents, and there’s still a shortfall of 3,532 taels and 6 cents.”

Lin Xiu asked, “What are you talking about?” Qin

Wan said lightly, “He said that as long as you give him 10,000 taels of silver, his kindness in giving birth to me and raising me will be repaid.”

Lin Xiu asked tentatively, “Are you talking about…”

Qin Wan said, “My father.”

Lin Xiu was silent.

There are such fathers in this world?

Although his parents in his previous life abandoned him, they gave him a lot of compensation in terms of money.

He thought he was miserable enough, but Qin Wan was even worse than him. Not only did she not get any compensation, she even had to give them money. Her monthly subsidy was 50 taels. With 10,000 taels of silver, when would she have to pay it back?

Because he had experienced something similar, Lin Xiu hated this kind of thing the most. He thought about it and said, “How about I lend you the remaining silver, and you can pay me back slowly in the future.”

Qin Wan glanced at him and asked, “Are you feeling sorry for me?”

Lin Xiu asked back, “What do you think?”

Qin Wan looked into his eyes. She didn’t feel any pity, but only empathy. However, he had been accompanied by his parents since he was born, so how could he empathize with her?

She shook her head, rejected Lin Xiu, and said, “This is a debt I owe, and I want to pay it back myself.”

Lin Xiu didn’t say anything else. He could understand Qin Wan’s feelings. This matter involved silver, but it was not just silver. What she needed to get through was the hurdle in her heart.

He just glanced at the location of the casino and said, “They just took the Immortal Powder and went to the casino again. I’m afraid the money you gave them will be spent in a moment.”

“That’s their own business. It has nothing to do with me.” Qin Wan said without any emotion, and then looked at Lin Xiu and said, “Neither of these two is a good thing. I hope you will never touch it.”

In the circle of the rich and powerful, it is elegant to take the Immortal Powder. Some people even set up banquets and gather people to take it for fun.

Lin Xiu smiled at Qin Wan and said, “Don’t worry, I, Lin Xiu, will never reconcile with gambling and drugs in my life.”

After saying goodbye to Qin Wan at the palace gate, Lin Xiu walked towards the new house.

Along the way, people were still discussing the battle between the two Heavenly Rank masters last night.

No one knew who won or lost the battle. Even if the Song family member had been promoted to the Heavenly Rank a few years earlier, he might not have had much advantage.

It is difficult to unilaterally determine the winner of a battle between Heavenly Rank masters, unless one side must fight to the death, and this kind of thing is impossible for Heavenly Rank masters.

They have practiced for decades, and some have practiced for nearly a hundred years before reaching the Heavenly Rank. For a little thing, they fight with the strong men of the same rank. Isn’t this stupid?

After today, the power of the Xue family will grow rapidly.

The ability of the old Duke Xue is fire. After he is promoted to the Heavenly Rank, he will attract many magicians with fire control ability to join him. The Heavenly Rank is the dream of every magician. Only the ones with the ability of the Heavenly Rank can tell them how to be promoted to the Heavenly Rank.

It can be said that in the eyes of the fire control ability, the old Duke Xue is their god.

Similarly, the ability of the ancestor of the Song family is water. There are also many water-related strong men working under the Song family.

These abilities that can be promoted to the Heavenly Rank are almost all extremely powerful and can cause large-scale damage. Their followers also have the same powerful abilities. It would be strange if the dog emperor didn’t fear these people when they gather together.

However, this is something that the dog emperor should be worried about. Lin Xiu quickly put this matter behind him and quickened his pace to go home.

Someone was waiting for him at home.

There was a ginkgo tree in the front yard of the house. Xue Ning’er made a swing on a horizontally growing trunk and always pestered Lin Xiu to swing with her.

When Lin Xiu came back, she saw A Ke sitting on the swing, swinging intermittently. When

Lin Xiu walked into the yard, she jumped off the swing and said, “You’re back.”

Lin Xiu said, “I’ll take you out for dinner.”

A Ke said, “I can’t go out in my condition. Just bring me some buns.”

Her wanted poster was posted all over the capital. Once she lifted her invisibility outside, she would be recognized immediately.

“How can you eat buns every day?” Lin Xiu thought for a while, looked at her and said, “I have the ability to disguise. If you don’t mind, you can let me touch your face and try to change your face.”

The book did not record that the ability to disguise can help others change their faces.

But the book also said that the ability to disguise can only be awakened once. With Lin Xiu’s level of Yuanli, which has been awakened three times, he knows many ways to use the ability, which are not in the book.

A Ke walked up to Lin Xiu, raised her head, and said, “You can do it. Anyway, I’ve touched other places. It’s okay to touch the face.”

She raised her head slightly and closed her eyes.

This action is very tempting.

If it was Cai Yi or Xue Ning’er, Lin Xiu would have kissed her a long time ago.

But A Ke obviously couldn’t do it.

Lin Xiu looked at her delicate face, his throat moved, and finally he restrained this impulse, holding her face with both hands, and activated the ability of disguise. Soon, A Ke’s face changed. As

Lin Xiu expected, the ability of disguise awakened three times can really help others disguise.

He pinched A Ke’s face here and there, and after looking at it carefully, he adjusted the details, then retracted his hand and said, “Okay.”

Soon, in the room, A Ke stood next to the mirror, and Lin Xiu asked, “How is it?”

A Ke nodded and said, “Very beautiful.”

Lin Xiu glanced at her, nonsense, she is Zhou Huimin of Da Xia now, how can she not be beautiful?

After awakening this ability three times, it is really magical. Basically, it can restore Lin Xiu’s imagined face 100%, but it cannot change her face shape and outline. It can only choose those who have similar face shape to her.

Lin Xiu looked at the very familiar face in front of him and couldn’t come back to his senses for a long time.

Although it is a different world, it is a face that he is very familiar with in another world, which makes Lin Xiu feel a sense of time and space interweaving.

Her face alone makes Lin Xiu feel very healed.

Lin Xiu was thinking, who should I pinch next time I take her out…

A Ke looked at Lin Xiu’s absent-minded eyes and asked, “What’s wrong?”

Lin Xiu came back to his senses and said, “It’s okay, you can go out like this, but you have to be careful, it’s best not to touch your current face. If you use too much force, the disguise may fail.”

A Ke nodded and said, “I know.”

The two walked out of the mansion, and A Ke and Lin Xiu walked side by side on the street. Of course, he also changed his clothes and slightly changed his face. Although this face is not very recognizable in the capital, if you meet an acquaintance, there will be unnecessary trouble.

A Ke walked on the street with a slightly unnatural expression. After a moment, she turned to look at Lin Xiu and asked, “Why are they all looking at me? Has my face changed back?”

Lin Xiu said speechlessly, “You are so beautiful now, of course they will look at you. Don’t worry, it won’t be exposed.”

Lin Xiu was very confident in his skills. There were wanted posters for her on the streets of the capital, but even if she passed by her wanted poster, no one would notice.

Because the wanted poster and her now are two different people. Because

of her identity, A Ke never appeared in front of people. At first, she was a little uncomfortable walking on the street with Lin Xiu, but soon, she gradually adapted and was no longer so restrained.

Lin Xiu was going to take her to the noodle shop with good taste. The two had just passed a street corner. Lin Xiu looked up and saw two figures coming towards him.

When he saw the sisters Ling Jun and Ling Yin, Lin Xiu was startled and his scalp tingled instantly.

But he soon realized something, his expression returned to calm, and he pretended to walk past them as if nothing had happened.

Zhao Lingjun and Zhao Lingyin only glanced at A Ke’s face. After all, such a beautiful woman was rare even on the streets of the capital.

As for Lin Xiu, they automatically ignored her.

Zhao Lingyin took her sister’s arm and said, “That girl is so beautiful.”

Zhao Lingjun smiled slightly and said, “Her temperament and appearance are very special, and her beauty is even a little unreal.”

Zhao Lingyin was about to agree with her evaluation, but she seemed to realize something, and suddenly froze, then turned around and shouted, “Stop!”

Hearing this voice, a word suddenly emerged in Lin Xiu’s mind.

“Danger!”
