Young Master, Don't Show Off - Chapter 145

[Chapter 145 Spying on Lingjun]

There is nothing wrong with being kind.

On a cold night, taking in a homeless woman and giving her a room that can shelter her from the wind and rain and keep her warm is certainly not wrong.

If you are poor, you should take care of yourself, and if you are rich, you should help the world.

If Lin Xiu has the ability, he is willing to give a warm home to all the homeless people in the world.

But his ability is limited. He can only give the uninhabited old house to the beggars to shelter them from the wind and rain and prevent them from freezing to death in the winter. He takes in a few homeless girls like Qin Wan and A Ke in his own home and gives them a warm home.

And he has a clear conscience. He didn’t even take advantage of their misfortune and make any unreasonable demands on them. By taking them in here, Lin Xiu didn’t ask them for a penny, let alone take advantage of them.

So no matter from what angle, Lingyin has no place to blame him.

She was speechless by what Lin Xiu said, and went back to her room quietly.

That night, Lin Xiu slept well.

Qin Wan was sleeping next door, and Ling Yin was sleeping opposite. He felt very safe. With the two of them here, even if an earth-level assassin came, he would probably die on the spot and never come back.

The next morning, after Lin Xiu got up, he just walked into the yard and smelled a fragrance.

The fragrance came from the kitchen. Lin Xiu vaguely saw Qin Wan busy inside.

Ling Yin had also gotten up. She sat in the yard and looked into the kitchen from time to time.

After a while, Qin Wan brought out two bowls of noodles from the kitchen and said, “It’s time to eat.” The

noodles were mushroom soup noodles. Although the taste could not be compared with the noodle shop on the street, it was still very good. After all, she did not have so much time to make the soup base.

Qin Wan cooked three bowls of noodles, one bowl for each of the three people.

Ling Yin had a conflict with Qin Wan last night, but this did not affect her eating the noodles cooked by Qin Wan this morning.

Lin Xiu was a little embarrassed and said to Qin Wan, “Sorry to bother you.”

Qin Wan said lightly, “No trouble, I live in your place, this is what I should do.”

After breakfast, Qin Wan took the initiative to wash the dishes for three people, cleaned up the kitchen, and then left the house. After

Qin Wan left, Lingyin said, “She got up in the morning, swept the yard, and made breakfast. Does she think of herself as a maid?” Lin Xiu

glanced at her and said, “This is called gratitude. It’s not easy for her. Don’t always target her.”

Lin Xiu can understand Qin Wan’s approach very well.

It’s not good to live under someone else’s roof. In the first few years after his parents divorced, he was still young and was fostered in a relative’s house. He always wanted to do more housework and behave more obediently, but no matter what he did, he was an outsider.

Later, when he could take care of himself, he gave a sum of money to his relatives and moved out by himself.

“I’m targeting her?” Zhao Lingyin took a deep breath, looked at Lin Xiu, and asked, “Who targeted whom did you see last night?”

Lin Xiu said, “Okay, okay, let’s not talk about it. Let’s go to the Yishu Academy to practice…”

The first time Lingyin and Qin Wan met, the result was actually a bit beyond Lin Xiu’s expectations. He thought Lingyin would drive her out, but he didn’t expect that they could actually coexist peacefully. Although they didn’t talk to each other, this was already the best result.

After arriving at the palace, Lin Xiu asked Lingyin to go to the Yishu Academy first, and he calculated the time and walked towards the harem.

At the door of the harem, the prince’s face was very ugly.

That night, after he paid a deposit of 5,000 taels of silver, the assassin never appeared again.

And Lin Xiu was alive and well.

Obviously, he was deceived.

That damn assassin cheated him of a full 5,000 taels.

He already regarded this as a great shame in his life.

Another thing that made him angry and helpless was that he couldn’t do anything to Lin Xiu anymore. Not only could he not do anything to Lin Xiu, but he couldn’t do anything to anyone who awakened the ice art.

His father had warned him once that before he became the emperor, he had to listen to his father’s words.

He was actually very frustrated as the crown prince.

He knew very well that he was just a pawn in the fight for power. He could not provoke those powerful families, but now he could not do anything to a small powerful person he did not like. What was the point of being the crown prince?

Just when he was upset, a feeling of extreme discomfort appeared without warning.

The crown prince turned around and looked behind him, his face completely darkened.

Lin Xiu used the ice power in his body, waved to the crown prince, and said, “Your Highness, what a coincidence, we meet again…”

Lin Xiu found that in just a few days, the crown prince had become much more haggard. Not only that, his temper had also become extremely irritable. The parrot told him more than once that the crown prince often threw things in the East Palace, and cursed the servants of the East Palace when he was not satisfied…

Lin Xiu did not even do anything, but just waved in front of him a few more times.

It is ironic that a prince is so narrow-minded.

The prince’s eyelids twitched, and he was almost crazy.

It was him.

It was him again!

How come he could meet him every time!

He wanted to kill him, but he had to face such a face every two days, which made him crazy.

Next, Lin Xiu deliberately ran into the prince a few more times, and then he found that the prince did not go to the harem to pay respects to the queen.

In this way, he had no choice. He could not hang around in the East Palace, and he did not plan to continue bumping into the prince. After all, this would not play any substantial role except making the prince uncomfortable.

This time, Lin Xiu came to Changchun Palace and brought a pot of orchids to the imperial concubine.

Every time he came here, he would bring something to the imperial concubine, which had become a habit.

More than half of the flower pots on her flower bed were brought by Lin Xiu from outside.

The imperial concubine was very good at growing flowers, and those flowers were well taken care of by her. However, when she came to Changchun Palace this time, Lin Xiu noticed that there was a trace of sadness between her eyebrows.

So Lin Xiu held the little guy and said, “Your Highness, my daughter has been a little listless these days. It’s time to take her out of the palace again.”

The imperial concubine looked at the pet rolling in Lin Xiu’s arms and said in surprise, “No, it looks more energetic than me.”

Lin Xiu glanced at the little guy, and it immediately lay in Lin Xiu’s arms, motionless, even its eyes drooped, looking listless.

Lin Xiu said helplessly, “Your Highness, look.”

The Imperial Concubine looked at the listless pet and could only say: “In this case, I will have to take it out of the palace tomorrow…”

…

Night.

Lin Xiu sat at the desk in front of the window. After a few bird calls, two parrots landed on the table in front of him one after another.

“Master!”

“I’m back!”

One of the two parrots was monitoring the East Palace, and the other had made a nest in the Huang Guogong Mansion.

Lin Xiu had been looking for an opportunity to avenge Chen Yu, but since A Ke’s last assassination failed and alerted the enemy, the number of guards around Huang Tao changed from one earth-level to two earth-level guards. In addition, every time he went out, he was always surrounded by a large group of servants.

At first, he lived in his own villa outside the Guogong Mansion. After A Ke’s assassination, he moved back to the Guogong Mansion.

In terms of strict defense, the mansions of these top dignitaries are not inferior to the imperial palace at all.

Not to mention that Duke Huang is an upper-level magician, the Duke’s mansion is full of hidden talents and martial arts masters. It is not an exaggeration to say that even a fly cannot fly in.

Lin Xiu never thought of entering Duke Huang’s mansion to assassinate Huang Tao. This is no different from committing suicide.

He just collected information while waiting for an opportunity.

During this period of time, he has collected a lot of useful information.

Duke Huang’s magic ability is earth, which is also a heavenly ability. Its strength lies in that it can draw power from the earth. It is more convenient to practice than ice and fire. It is also a powerful ability that combines defense and attack.

The disadvantage of this ability is that it is bulky and not as flexible as water and fire, but the advantage is also obvious. As long as you stand on the ground, you can continuously restore your energy, so magicians with this ability can fight more persistently.

Because he has gone a long way on the road of practicing this magic, some magicians who have also awakened the magic of earth naturally worship him in order to get his guidance.

One of the earth-level guards beside Huang Tao is a user of earth ability.

The other one should be an earth-level warrior.

This is much stronger than the two secret agents that the dog emperor sent to protect Lin Xiu. If you want to take Huang Tao’s life under their protection, you must have the strength of the upper earth level. If

Lin Xiu wants to attack him, he must also improve his Yuanli to the upper Xuan level.

At that time, with the cooperation of his various abilities, there may be a little chance.

At the beginning, A Ke thought that if a man like Huang Tao lived one more day, there might be one more woman who would be harmed.

Her worry was right.

During this period of time, two more women were brought back to the mansion by Huang Tao.

Huang Tao has a special hobby.

He doesn’t like ordinary women, but likes women who have awakened the ability of supernatural powers. Because of the relationship of blood, most supernatural masters awaken in the powerful and wealthy families. Although there are also common people, they are not many, so his hobby is not always satisfied.

The two women were not very good-looking. After being abducted into his mansion, they got bored of him after a few days. Later, Huang Tao gave them a sum of money and sent them away.

Although the two women suffered humiliation, the Huang Guogong Mansion was extremely powerful. No matter how humiliated they were, they had no place to seek justice.

Lin Xiu sympathized with them, but with his current strength, he could not change anything.

It was late at night, and Lin Xiu came to the yard and continued to practice with a spear.

After a while, Qin Wan and Zhao Lingyin both walked out of the room. Zhao Lingyin asked Lin Xiu, “It’s so late, why are you still practicing?”

Lin Xiu said, “Sorry to disturb you. I’ll practice in the backyard.”

Fortunately, the house was big enough. Lin Xiu was practicing in the backyard, and no noise could be heard in the front yard.

Zhao Lingyin looked at Lin Xiu’s back in surprise, and murmured, “Why did he suddenly become so diligent…”

Qin Wan glanced at her and said, “If I were him, with a wife like Zhao Lingjun, I would be more diligent than him.”

Zhao Lingyin said indignantly, “Why, what’s wrong with a wife like my sister?”

Qin Wan said lightly, “It’s nothing, it’s just the wedding night, she left her husband and ran away. If he doesn’t practice hard, what else can he do? Will he be looked down upon by his wife for the rest of his life?”

Zhao Lingyin felt her heart begin to hurt again.

This woman’s words are really annoying.

Why isn’t she a mute?

No longer paying attention to Qin Wan, she walked to the backyard and said to Lin Xiu who was practicing, “I’ll accompany you…”

Lin Xiu didn’t expect Lingyin to come to practice with him.

She majored in strange arts, and martial arts was just acceptable, not her strong point. After

practicing for a while, Lin Xiu realized that there had been no sound from her side for a long time. Looking back, she found Lingyin sleeping on the stone table beside her.

She was not as tireless as Lin Xiu. She was very tired after practicing for a whole day. She also practiced with Lin Xiu for half an hour at night. Her body and energy had been overdrawn.

Lin Xiu carried her back to the room and put her on the bed, but she did not wake up.

After covering Lingyin with a blanket and smoothing the few strands of hair on her forehead, Lin Xiu sat by the bed and looked at her quietly.

Although she was as active as a mad rabbit during the day, she looked very ladylike when she fell asleep at night. Although

Lin Xiu did not like to hear what Qin Wan said,

he had to admit that she was telling the truth.

He was not a pure boy who had just begun to fall in love and could see his heart clearly.

If he was going to marry Lingyin, he might not be so resistant to this marriage.

But most things in this world often do not go as one wishes, and there will be trade-offs. If you choose one, you have to give up the other.

If he chooses Lingyin, then he will have to give up Caiyi and Ning’er. Now Lin Xiu naturally cannot make such a choice.

Besides, from the beginning, he had no choice.

After watching her quietly for a while, Lin Xiu walked out of Lingyin’s room and closed the door gently.

At this moment, it was past midnight, and Qin Wan had already fallen asleep. Lin Xiu returned to the inner courtyard and continued to practice. Whether it was practicing strange arts or practicing martial arts, it was so boring and tedious. At this time, a thought suddenly emerged in Lin Xiu’s mind. What is

Zhao Lingjun doing now?

People have a comparative psychology. They have worked hard and put in several times or even dozens of times more effort than others to achieve today’s achievements, but there are also some people who can achieve the same results as him by practicing casually, and anyone will be dissatisfied. It

was two o’clock in the middle of the night, and Lin Xiu was still awake. I wonder if Zhao Lingjun slept?

If it weren’t for her, Lin Xiu might not force himself so much. He suddenly wanted to know what Zhao Lingjun was doing now. He

was idle anyway, so Lin Xiu planned to fly over to take a look.

He hid his body and flew towards the wedding residence.

After a while, Lin Xiu was suspended in the air dozens of feet above the courtyard, looking at the mansion below.

His eyesight was very good. Even at night, with the faint moonlight, he could see everything below.

The yard was empty, with no one around. It was already two o’clock in the morning, and normal people should have gone to bed long ago.

But in one room, the lights were still on.

That was Lin Xiu’s wedding room, and now Zhao Lingjun lived there alone.

What was she doing? She wasn’t asleep yet?

Lin Xiu was curious, but she didn’t dare to go down to take a look.

Zhao Lingjun’s ability is telekinesis, which can sense everything within the coverage of her telekinesis. Invisibility is useless, and Lin Xiu and A Ke are restrained by her.

Just when he was about to go back, the door of the lighted room below suddenly opened.

A woman in white walked out of the room and looked up at the night sky above.

Then, her body flew into the air and quickly approached Lin Xiu.

Lin Xiu’s scalp tingled, and he immediately activated his energy and flew away, disappearing without a trace in an instant.

Dozens of feet high, the woman in white stood in the air, the night wind messed up her hair and made her dress rustle.

She looked in a certain direction and did not chase after her.
