Young Master, Don't Show Off - Chapter 174

[Chapter 174: First Show of Strength]

It was both unexpected and reasonable that Old Duke Xue wanted to see him.

When Lin Xiu took Zhang San to stroll around the city today, the Qingli Division did not dare to intervene, the Ministry of Justice closed its doors directly, and everyone on the street avoided them, and the people did not even dare to support them.

Because their fear of the Zhang family was deep in their bones.

At this time, only Xue Ning’er stood up.

She blocked Lin Xiu behind her and pointed her sword at the third son of the Zhang family. Countless people saw it.

She is the legitimate daughter of the Xue family, and every move represents the Xue family.

Whether it is her relationship with Lin Xiu or her position and stance in this matter, it will bring trouble to the Xue family and will also arouse other people’s reverie.

Lin Xiu originally wanted to wait until he had enough strength before going to see Old Duke Xue.

But since the incident has already happened, there is no reason to escape.

Lin Xiu walked to the kitchen door and said to Qin Wan: “Leave some food for me, I’ll come back to eat.”

Xue Wu snorted coldly and said, “Talk about it when you can come back.”

After that, the two turned around and walked out of the house.

Li Baizhang looked at Lin Xiu with sympathy and said, “Take care…”

People have to be responsible for their own actions. It is enjoyable to be affectionate and cuddling with other girls, but there will also be times when the other family members come to the door.

Lin Xiu is not unfamiliar with the way to Xue’s house.

Because the Zhao family is just opposite the Xue’s house.

Today, no one is at the door of Zhao’s house, and no one sees him.

Lin Xiu followed the two brothers of the Xue family into the Xue’s house. As soon as he stepped into the front yard of the Xue’s house, a voice said gloomily: “Close the door!”

Bang!

The door of the Xue’s house was closed heavily, and the two brothers of the Xue family also bolted the door.

More than a dozen figures stood in the yard, staring at Lin Xiu with unfriendly eyes. A middle-aged man glared at him and snorted coldly, “Boy, you really dare to come!”

Lin Xiu looked at him and asked, “May I ask who you are…”

The middle-aged man said coldly, “I am Ning’er’s uncle.”

Xue Ning’er’s uncle, the ruler of the Xue family of this generation. Lin Xiu clasped his fists and said, “Old Duke Xue has summoned me, and I dare not not come.”

Xue Tao snorted coldly and said, “You even dare to lie to the daughter of my Xue family, what else do you dare not do?”

Lin Xiu did not answer. Old Duke Xue asked him to come, obviously to question him. At this time, any explanation would sound like quibbling to them.

Seeing that he didn’t say anything, Xue Tao continued, “It seems that you admit it. Don’t say that the Xue family didn’t give you a chance. You leave this door now and swear that you will never meet Ning’er again. The Xue family can forgive what happened in the past. If you don’t know how to appreciate it, don’t even think about walking out of the Xue Mansion today.”

When he was in opposition to the top family of Daxia, there was a girl who could rush to him regardless of everything. How could he retreat?

Lin Xiu raised his head and asked, “Are there any other options?” Xue

Tao looked at him, pointed behind him, and said, “There are three doors here. If you have the ability to walk through these three doors, then talk about other options.”

He smiled coldly and said, “But I remind you that it’s easy to walk through the door behind you. If you want to break through the three doors in front, although it won’t take your life, it is also likely to make you lose an arm or a leg. Think about it carefully.”

Lin Xiu strode forward and said, “Don’t think about it.”

A trace of approval flashed across Xue Tao’s eyes, and then he folded his hands and watched him walk to the first door with interest.

Xue Mansion was very large, with no idea how many courtyards there were. There were courtyards one after another, and each time you entered a courtyard, you had to go through a door.

In front of the first door, a figure blocked Lin Xiu’s way.

The young man looked at Lin Xiu and said expressionlessly, “My name is Xue Lei, Ning’er’s third brother. Ning’er is inside. Defeat me and you can see her.”

Xue Tao reminded Lin Xiu again, “I know you are from the Tianzi Academy of the Martial Arts Academy, and you have the strength of the upper realm of the Xuan level. Lei’er left the Tianzi Academy of the Martial Arts Academy five years ago. He will not hold back on you. You still have a chance to regret it now. It will be too late to regret it if you break your arm or bones later.”

A class of students in the Martial Arts Academy usually stays in the academy for three to five years.

The students in the Tianzi Academy of the Martial Arts Academy are just the best among their peers. Before them, there are geniuses from previous classes. They have practiced for a longer time and are naturally stronger. Xue Lei is two classes higher than him. Now he can definitely sweep the Martial Arts Academy, including the young geniuses from the Tianzi Academy.

Just at the first door, the Xue family sent Xue Lei who was enough to crush him. It seems that it is not easy to meet Ning’er today.

Lin Xiu did not say anything else. He clasped his fists to Xue Lei and said, “Third brother, please.”

Xue Lei said lightly, “Be careful, I will not show mercy.”

Lin Xiu asked, “Can we start?”

Xue Lei stood with his hands behind his back and said, “You can start.”

Bang!

The moment he finished speaking, the whole person flew out, flew directly through the door, and landed heavily on the ground at the door.

Lin Xiu retracted his punch. He knew what he was doing at the Xue family today. If he could not show enough strength, he might not even be qualified to meet Ning’er. He

had hidden his edge for so long, it was time to show it off.

The reason why he made this decision was not only because of the Xue family, but also because of Zhao Lingjun.

Zhao Lingjun was able to advance to the upper realm of the earth level at the age of nineteen. It was not too exaggerated for him, Lin Xiu, to kill a Xuan-level warrior at the age of nineteen, right?

Lin Xiu walked through the door, took the initiative to help Xue Lei up, and said, “Third brother, thank you.”

Xue Lei’s face was full of astonishment.

Although this punch did not hurt him, but this punch was too fast, right?

In the investigation results given to him by his father, it was indeed mentioned that Lin Xiu was known as the fastest man in the martial arts academy, but Xue Lei did not take it seriously. Speed is related to strength. His true energy is so weak, how fast can he be?

He just saw it with his own eyes, it was really fast.

Everyone in the Xue family was speechless.

Several young men thought to themselves that the third brother’s acting skills were too poor. They knew that he loved Ning’er, but he couldn’t let him go so obviously. At least he had fought back and forth with him for a few moves. If he lost to him unexpectedly, it would be too fake…

Xue Tao glared at his son and asked, “What are you doing? If you don’t want to go up, let your brother do it!”

Xue Lei patted the dirt on his butt and said, “I wasn’t ready just now, that time doesn’t count, let’s do it again…”

Lin Xiu did not say anything. After the two men stood still again, Xue Lei attacked first, punching with his true Qi, heading straight for Lin Xiu’s face. He was so fast that even the air made a dull sound when he threw the punch.

Xue Tao’s heart tightened when he saw this. This bastard boy had let his guard down so obviously just now, and he was merciless this time. What if this punch destroyed that boy’s face? Wouldn’t Ning’er be the one who was sad in the end…

But what he expected did not happen.

Although the punch was fast, Lin Xiu was even faster. He held Xue Lei’s wrist, tilted his body slightly, and hit Xue Lei’s chest with his shoulder. He flew out again and landed behind the door.

Another move.

Xue Lei covered his chest, got up from the ground, pointed at Lin Xiu, and said in shock: “Father, when did you collect intelligence? This boy’s strength is definitely not the lower realm of the Xuan level. His true Qi is stronger than mine…” They

were both in the upper realm of the Xuan level. In terms of the strength of true Qi, Lin Xiu was not as good as Xue Lei, but with the addition of strength, Xue Lei was far inferior to him.

Xue Tao glanced at his son, a satisfied look on his face.

His acting this time was completely different from before, and he acted so realistically that even he almost believed it.

However, they could let him go through the first door, but the next two doors were arranged by his father himself, so this kid’s luck would end here.

He looked at Lin Xiu and said, “Yes, you dare to come to my Xue family. You are indeed quite capable. You have passed the first door.”

Xue Lei rubbed his chest, walked to Xue Tao, and said innocently, “Dad, I really didn’t let him pass just now. I didn’t have time to let him pass before he knocked me away. This kid is quite capable…”

Xue Tao glanced at him and whispered, “Okay, that’s enough. Your grandfather is not here.”

Xue Lei was stunned. A young man walked past him and couldn’t help but applaud and said, “Third brother, you are really good. Your acting skills are amazing.”

Another person also patted him on the shoulder and said, “Even if grandpa was here, there would be nothing wrong with it.”

“It’s a pity that third brother doesn’t go to act…”

…

Xue Lei moved his lips, not knowing how to explain.

At this time, Lin Xiu had walked into the inner courtyard and came to another door. In front of

this door, a middle-aged man stood.

The moment he walked into the courtyard, the power of ice in Lin Xiu’s body began to throb, like the feeling when he first met Princess Minghe.

The person opposite was obviously a fire-attributed magician.

But he gave Lin Xiu the feeling that he was much stronger than Princess Minghe.

But he was not at the Earth level.

But Lin Xiu’s apparent strength was that he had just entered the lower realm of the Profound Realm.

His ability was still restrained after crossing a large realm.

The Xue family was determined to break up him and Ning’er.

In front of the middle-aged man, several flames appeared out of thin air. After the flames appeared, even the temperature in the yard rose a few degrees. He smiled at Lin Xiu and said, “The flames are ruthless. I don’t want to hurt you. Go back.”

Lin Xiu didn’t say anything, but a layer of ice spread out from under his feet, and in a flash, the ground of the yard was completely frozen.

The middle-aged man’s feet were also frozen, and soon flames rose from under his feet, melting the ice layer under his feet, turning into a line of fire, spreading further.

In the end, the whole yard was divided into two worlds of ice and fire by the two people.

The ice layer could not spread any further, and the line of fire could not spread any further.

At the junction of ice and fire, countless white mists rose up and enveloped the entire yard. The

Xue family stood on the corridor without setting foot in the yard. Xue Tao looked at Lin Xiu with extremely surprised eyes and said in shock: “Xuanjie Upper Realm, this kid has been hiding his abilities all the time. He definitely did not awaken his abilities a year ago!”

It’s no wonder that he had such a guess. It would be impossible to practice to Xuanjie Upper Realm in one year, even if he had the help of Yuanjing in the first three awakenings.

Xue Tao believed that he had awakened his abilities a long time ago, but he had been hiding his abilities and forbearing. Today

, he had no choice but to expose it. At this time, the middle-aged man with the fire skill also looked a little solemn.

If it was just a battle of skills, the young man’s Yuanli would not be as strong as his.

But the opponent’s martial arts strength is much stronger than his.

If he is approached by this young man, he will be defeated in an instant.

He also put away all his contempt, and countless fireballs formed in the void, densely flying towards Lin Xiu.

Lin Xiu condensed a huge ice shield on his arm, and hid his whole body behind the ice shield. The fireball hit the ice shield, ice chips splashed, and flames flew. The middle-aged man followed with another flame attack. A ball of hot flames, at a very high speed, hit the ice shield, and the ice shield immediately broke apart. At

the same time, dozens of ice spikes suddenly protruded from the ground under the middle-aged man’s feet, forcing him to retreat again and again.

Lin Xiu’s clothes had been burned by the flying sparks, leaving many small holes, but his body was unharmed. He also had the ability of fire, and the fire of the Xuan-level magician could not cause any harm to him. If it were not for the fact that his multiple abilities could not be exposed, this middle-aged man would have been taken down by him.

After pretending to compete with him several times, Lin Xiu dodged his attacks with his flexible movement, approached him, and knocked him out with a palm knife.

At this time, his clothes were already tattered. He turned to look at Xue Tao and asked, “I passed this door, right?”

Xue Tao’s eyes looking at Lin Xiu had changed a little at this time. He nodded and said, “There is one last door.”

Lin Xiu stepped over this door and walked to the next yard.

Immediately, he immediately stepped back a few steps, and a deep mark appeared on the blue brick under his feet.

Lin Xiu looked forward, and at the door of the third door, stood an elegant middle-aged man.

He looked at Lin Xiu, shook his head and said, “I’m surprised that you can get through the first two doors, but you can’t get through this one.”

He casually swung a sword, and another mark appeared under Lin Xiu’s feet.

True Qi is released, a ground-level warrior.

The distance between the two has exceeded ten feet.

This person is a ground-level warrior, and he is not a beginner.

If Lin Xiuruo used all his abilities, he could barely fight him, but with only one ability, with his current strength, he couldn’t defeat such a strong man.

…

The small courtyard at the deepest part of Xue Mansion.

Xue Ning’er paced anxiously in the courtyard. She walked to the door several times and wanted to go out, but was stopped by the guards at the door.

She walked to the stone table in the yard and said to an old man who was sitting there drinking tea, “Grandpa, you are not allowed to embarrass him!”

Old Duke Xue said, “I didn’t embarrass him. If he wants to leave, he can leave at any time.”

Xue Ning’er said, “He won’t leave.”

Old Duke Xue shook his head and said, “Silly girl, you are so easy to believe others. Men’s words are liars. Their sweet words can’t be believed.”

Xue Ning’er’s eyes were incomparably firm, and she repeated, “He won’t leave.”

At this time, a figure hurried in. Old Duke Xue asked, “How is it, has he left?”

The servant said, “No, he has walked through two doors and is now at the third door.”

Old Duke Xue was stunned for a moment, stood up, and said angrily, “Asshole, you dare to say anything about me “Pretending to obey but secretly disobeying, the first two doors must have been deliberately let him in!”

Xue Ning’er smiled and said, “I said, he won’t leave.”

Old Duke Xue sat back and said, “Even if he can get to the first two doors, he will definitely not get through the third one. In front of the third door is your fourth uncle.”

Xue Ning’er’s face changed and said angrily, “Grandpa, you are cheating. Fourth uncle has been a ground-level warrior many years ago. He has only practiced martial arts for less than a year. How can he be the opponent of fourth uncle!”

Old Duke Xue said, “I said that if he wants to leave, he can leave at any time. This road is chosen by himself, and no one else can be blamed.”

Xue Ning’er finally couldn’t help it and lay on the table and cried, “Woo, you bully me…”

Old Duke Xue looked at her trembling shoulders and sighed in his heart.

Silly girl, if he really likes you and cares about you, he will not give up even if there are thousands of difficulties and dangers ahead. The

first two doors are a test of his qualifications.

If he can’t get through the first two doors, he will not be qualified to see Ning’er.

The third door was a test of his character.

Even if he couldn’t get through, as long as his faith never wavered and he never gave up, he would let him in.

I hope he won’t let him down.

…

In front of a door in Xue’s mansion.

Lin Xiu’s hair was disheveled, and his arms, body, and thighs were covered with wounds, but he was unaware of it. His eyes were still sharp, and his expression was always firm, looking for the flaws of the person opposite him.

Xue Li’s heart had actually been moved.

The young man opposite him, whether in terms of speed, body movements, strength, changes in moves, or combat experience, made him feel like he was facing a warrior of the same level. If his true energy was stronger and similar to his, no, as long as he entered the earth level, he would no longer be his opponent.

With his cultivation far superior to his, he could only suppress him, but not crush him. This was an extremely incredible thing.

At this time, the Xue family members standing in the back watching the battle were also silent.

Xue Tao seemed to understand why Ning’er chose him when there were so many heroes in the royal capital.

The children of the Xue family also changed from contempt at the beginning to solemnity, and even admiration.

Looking at the two people in the yard, someone finally couldn’t help but speak up.

“Fourth Uncle, how old are you? Bullying a teenager, how shameless!”

“Dad, please let him go!”

“You are so shameless to bully the weak!”

…

Xue Li was not affected by them. While attacking, he said, “Give up. You know very well that you are not my opponent. If you give up now, you can suffer less.”

Lin Xiu suddenly laughed.

Xue Li was stunned and asked, “What are you laughing at?”

During this moment of stunned, Lin Xiu suddenly stepped forward quickly, without dodging or evading, and went straight to the sword. The long sword in Xue Li’s hand passed through Lin Xiu’s shoulder. At the same time, Lin Xiu also approached him and put the dagger infused with true energy in his hand against Xue Li’s neck.

“I don’t know if Fourth Uncle’s teacher has ever told Fourth Uncle that when fighting with others, don’t be distracted.” Lin Xiu looked at Xue Li, grinned, and said, “Fourth Uncle, you lost.”

Xue Li looked down and saw that his arm holding the sword had been frozen, including the sword inserted into Lin Xiu’s shoulder.

He also felt the sharpness of the dagger on his neck. This position is one of the most vulnerable parts of the human body. Even if he used his true qi to protect his body, he could not defend against the dagger infused with his true qi.

If this was a life-and-death fight, Lin Xiu would be seriously injured, but he was already dead.

Xue Li looked at him deeply and said, “I lost.”

A moment later.

Backyard.

Xue Li walked into the courtyard. Old Duke Xue glanced at him and said indifferently, “A junior has been fighting for so long. Isn’t it shameful?”

Xue Li walked up to him and bowed his head and said, “Father, I lost.”

Old Duke Xue was stunned for a moment, then he flew into a rage, stood up and said, “You, you will lose, lose to a 19-year-old boy, do you think I am old and confused?”

Xue Li said helplessly, “Father, you don’t know, that man, he didn’t care about his life in order to see Ning’er…”

Today’s chapter has 5,000 words, which is only a few hundred words less than usual. In fact, according to my habit, I should have added more chapters to finish this plot, but I have been typing at home during the New Year, I didn’t visit relatives, didn’t take leave, and even added more chapters. Today, my family is entertaining guests, so I can’t stay in the room all the time. In addition, I have to take a ride back to the city in the evening, so I definitely don’t have time to write. You don’t have to wait any longer.
