Young Master, Don't Show Off - Chapter 155

[Chapter 155 It is normal for couples to hold hands]

In order to capture the murderer who killed Huang Tao, the second son of the Huang family, the Secret Investigation Department and the Imperial Guards organized thousands of people to search Yunshan again and again.

Unfortunately, three days later, they still found nothing.

The murderer had clearly entered Yunshan to escape, but he seemed to have evaporated from the world and completely disappeared from everyone’s eyes.

Yunshan had been searched several times, and it was almost dug three feet into the ground. With the man’s strength, it was absolutely impossible to run further. I think he must have been buried in the mouth of a beast or a strange beast in Yunshan.

When searching for that person, many people heard the roar of a tiger from the depths of the forest, and also found tiger and human footprints. It was confirmed that the man was eaten by a tiger. After the Secret Investigation Department closed the case, everyone withdrew from Yunshan.

Huang Tao’s death, except for some waves in the capital at the beginning, was completely calmed down within two days.

The people always have something newer to discuss. Huang Tao’s death, three days later, was not even as popular as the beautiful assassin.

At that time, the Secret Investigation Department was searching for someone all over the city. The portrait of the female assassin was posted all over the streets and alleys. Countless people were amazed by her beauty and privately called her the Fairy Sister.

Some people even took down her wanted poster quietly in the dead of night and took it back to collect.

Some tailor shops in the capital even launched the same headband and long skirt as the Fairy Sister. It is said that they were sold out in an hour.

Lingyin was still upset about losing the dress she liked very much, so Lin Xiu went to a high-end custom tailor shop and made her an identical one. As for her original one, it was in his personal space.

Lin Xiu didn’t plan to return it to her, and there was no way to return it to her. It might be useful next time.

On the third day after Huang Tao’s death, Lin Xiu went out of the city. He came to a tomb at the foot of Yunshan Mountain, cleaned the weeds around the tomb, picked some wild flowers, put them on the tombstone, and stood in front of the tomb for a while before leaving.

After returning home, Lin Xiu sat on a stone bench. At a certain moment, he suddenly bent down slowly and touched the ground with his hands.

There was a kind of power that continuously flowed from the ground into his arms, and finally transformed into the Yuan force in his body.

When the Earth-level magician brought him back to Huang Tao’s residence, Lin Xiu effortlessly obtained the Earth Art, which was also a big unexpected gain.

The defense of the golden body is above the earth, and in terms of attack, whether it is ice, fire or thunder, it is also stronger than the Earth Art.

But the biggest significance of having an additional Heaven-level ability for Lin Xiu is the increase in the speed of practice.

After the Yuan force broke through to the upper realm of the Xuan level, he gained two more abilities, namely the advanced Sound Art and the Earth Art. The speed of practice has increased from six times to eight times. The

eight-fold practice speed is already very exaggerated, which means that as long as he practices step by step every day, he can break through to the Earth level in just two years. In the past, he needed sixteen years.

And the time he finally used must not reach two years.

At this level, the ability he can copy has not reached its upper limit, and there will definitely be many thunderstorms in the next year. At that time, with the help of thunderclouds, the speed of cultivation during that period will reach a terrifying level.

In other words, in more than a year, his cultivation will catch up with the fourteen-year-old Zhao Lingjun.

It sounds a bit sad, but he can catch up with others’ ten years of cultivation in less than a year. Others will also feel sad when they hear it.

Speaking of Zhao Lingjun, Lin Xiu hasn’t seen her for a long time.

She used to go out to practice after the New Year in the royal capital. That was to avoid the engagement. Now there is no need for this. Lin Xiu knows that she usually stays at home and practices with all her heart.

Sure enough, the more talented, the harder she works. She is so talented and so competitive that Lin Xiu has to become more and more competitive.

At the beginning, the two of them agreed to go back to the Zhao and Lin families together every once in a while to dispel their suspicions. Later, because they were busy with various things, more than a month passed and this agreement was never fulfilled.

It would not work if she continued like this. She had to go to the Zhao and Lin residences at least once a month, otherwise, it would be exposed in front of the elders of the two families sooner or later.

After lunch, Lin Xiu said to Lingyin, “Come with me to find your sister later.”

Zhao Lingyin was surprised and asked, “Why are you looking for my sister?”

She was very surprised. Lin Xiu finally remembered that he had a wife.

If she remembered correctly, this was the first time he mentioned his sister in front of her in the past month.

Lin Xiu said, “Let’s go to your house together in the afternoon to visit your father-in-law and mother-in-law. If it takes too long, I’m afraid they will be suspicious. You haven’t lived at home these days. They don’t suspect it, right?”

Zhao Lingyin said, “No, I said that I lived outside for the convenience of practicing, so they didn’t ask anything.”

They were really relieved about their daughter, but Lin Xiu also knew her. Lingyin and Princess Minghe were both straight girls who only had practice in their eyes, so there was nothing to worry about.

When she and Lingyin arrived at the wedding residence, Zhao Lingjun was practicing in the room.

The method of practicing telekinesis is very simple, all you need to do is meditate. The spiritual arts are very special. Although they cannot absorb energy directly from the outside world like other heavenly abilities, the speed of their growth is no slower than abilities like ice and fire.

Lin Xiu explained her purpose to Zhao Lingjun, and she agreed without even thinking about it.

She and Lin Xiu had a high degree of consensus on this matter.

On the way to the Zhao Mansion with the two sisters, the three of them naturally attracted countless eyes.

Lin Xiu rarely appeared in front of outsiders with Zhao Lingjun, so she took this opportunity to show off in front of the people.

Although not many people knew him, the Zhao family geniuses had watched him grow up since childhood, so they were naturally familiar with him, and they also knew Lin Xiu by the way.

“This must be Miss Zhao’s husband.”

“He’s quite handsome.”

“It’s just that their talent for special arts is a little lacking.”

“Although they look like a talented couple, their talents are not that compatible…”

…

Although Lin Xiu is already quite famous in the martial arts academy, special arts are the mainstream of cultivation. Compared with Zhao Lingjun, who has been known as a genius since childhood, he seems to be unknown.

When they arrived at the Zhao family, Wu’an Hou and his wife were naturally happy. They hadn’t seen their daughter for a long time and were worried that the two people’s newlywed life would be inharmonious. Now it seems that they were completely overthinking.

When preparing for the dinner, Zhao Lingjun and his mother-in-law were talking. Zhao Xuan walked up to Lin Xiu and said, “I, I want to challenge you again.”

His attitude this time was much better than last time.

In the martial arts, the strong is strong and the weak is weak. He lost to Lin Xiu last time. After two months of hard training, his strength has improved greatly. He wants to try again to regain his lost dignity.

The reason why he is here instead of on the ring of the martial arts academy is because the last failure still left him with a big psychological shadow. He is worried that the scene will happen again, so it is safer to be at home.

Even if he loses, he won’t be embarrassed in public.

Since he has nothing to do, Lin Xiu said indifferently, “Okay.”

Zhao Xuan’s expression was a little excited. He came to the open space in the middle of the yard. This time, he first saluted Lin Xiu with his fists, and then rushed up impatiently.

Knowing that his spear skills were not as good as his opponent, he did not choose weapons.

Although this would prevent him from exerting his full strength, Lin Xiu could not use weapons either.

Zhao Xuan’s speed was very fast, and even afterimages appeared in front of Lin Xiu’s eyes. His speed was even higher than last time, but the result was no different.

A moment later, Zhao Xuan lay on the ground, looking at the blue sky above his head, with a look of despair on his face.

Is the gap between the two really that big?

At this moment, he suddenly felt a little fortunate.

He originally wanted to challenge Lin Xiu again in the next ring match, but now he has completely given up this terrible idea.

During the dinner, Lin Xiu and Zhao Lingjun naturally acted out a harmonious couple scene again. Everything was going well until their mother-in-law asked them to stay at Zhao’s house at night, and only prepared one room for Lin Xiu and Zhao Lingjun.

According to their thinking, the two had already been husband and wife, and it was reasonable for them to sleep in the same bed at night.

Zhao Lingyin knew the inside story, and suddenly said, “Tonight, my sister and I will sleep together. We haven’t slept together and talked for a long time.”

The wife of Wu’an Marquis glanced at her and said, “Nonsense, do you think this is still your childhood? Lingjun has married, and you will marry sooner or later. You sleep in your room tonight, and Lingjun and Xiu’er sleep in Lingjun’s previous room…”

Lin Xiu and Zhao Lingjun slept in their own bridal chambers, but they didn’t expect to sleep in the same room tonight.

There was only one bed in her room, and only one quilt, but there were many books on the bookshelf. After the two walked into the room, the atmosphere became quiet.

Lin Xiu picked up a book from the bookshelf, sat down at the table, and took the initiative to say, “You go to sleep, I’ll read at night.”

Zhao Lingjun sat opposite him and said, “You go to sleep, I have to practice at night.”

Lin Xiu felt that there should be very few couples who can treat each other with respect like him and Zhao Lingjun.

Even the only opportunity to sleep in bed, they have to give way to each other.

It’s a pity that for him, the best husband-wife relationship is not to treat each other with respect.

He yearns for the kind of husband-wife relationship without distance and politeness.

It’s Xue Ning’er who pressed him under her body and kissed him passionately without any ladylike manners, it’s holding Caiyi in his arms and listening to her moving whispers, even bickering with Lingyin every day, occasionally fighting in martial arts,

cleaning and cooking with Qin Wan every day… It’s always better than practicing alone and reading alone in the long night.

Lin Xiu really read a book all night, and Zhao Lingjun also meditated all night.

This night was very difficult for Lin Xiu, and he decided that in the future, when he came to the Zhao family, he would come in the morning and leave after lunch, and he would never stay overnight here.

Early in the morning, just after breakfast, Lin Xiu left the Zhao Mansion with Zhao Lingjun on the pretext of going to the Lin Mansion to visit his parents.

On the way to the Lin Mansion, both of them were very silent.

Lin Xiu and Zhao Lingjun had nothing in common, and they had been silent all night yesterday.

The first to break the silence today was Lin Xiu.

He took a few steps forward and suddenly said to Zhao Lingjun: “Miss Zhao, can I discuss something with you?”

Zhao Lingjun said: “Go ahead.”

Lin Xiu said: “My mother is meticulous and careful. Seeing us now, she may find something. After arriving at the Lin family, can we act more intimate so that she won’t be suspicious.”

Zhao Lingjun was silent for a moment and asked: “Intimate?”

Lin Xiu explained: “Miss Zhao, don’t worry. I’m talking about the intimacy of holding hands. Don’t you think that we always keep a certain distance, which doesn’t seem like a real couple? Holding hands is a very normal thing between husband and wife…”
