Young Master, Don't Show Off - Chapter 175
[Chapter 175 High Five]
When Lin Xiu walked into the innermost courtyard of the Xue family, the sword on his shoulder had been pulled out and the wound had been simply treated.
But he looked extremely embarrassed.
When fighting with the magician, his clothes were burned by the fireball and had many holes. Now they were tattered, like a beggar. There were still large patches of blood on his shoulders, which looked a bit shocking.
He looked like he had just retreated from the battlefield.
However, his body was still upright, and his steps were very steady. He walked in step by step.
Seeing Lin Xiu like this, Xue Ning’er couldn’t help but burst out the tears that had just stopped. She almost flew to Lin Xiu’s side, threw herself into his arms, choked up, but couldn’t say a word.
The moment she hugged Lin Xiu, she felt that everything was worth it.
It turned out that he was also running towards her regardless of everything.
Lin Xiu stretched out his hands, wiped away her tears, and said, “I’m fine, don’t cry.”
Xue Ning’er wiped her eyes, then held his hand tightly, looking at the old Duke Xue sitting there.
Old Duke Xue felt a nameless rage in his heart. This bastard boy, Ning’er used to listen to him a lot, but now she looks at him as if she is an enemy.
It is true that girls cannot be kept when they grow up. If they keep them, the family will become enemies.
However, seeing Lin Xiu’s appearance, his anger disappeared by half.
It should be said that this boy is not bad. Even if his family members are letting him go, the fact that he can come here to see him also shows his determination.
He is a man.
Old Duke Xue snorted coldly and said, “You are so brave. You have a family, but you dare to seduce my Ning’er. Do you think our Xue family is easy to bully?”
Xue Ning’er immediately defended, “When I liked him, he and Zhao Lingjun were not married yet!”
His granddaughter had been helping this boy, and the tense atmosphere he had just created was immediately destroyed by her.
Old Duke Xue sighed in his heart, looked at Lin Xiu, and said lightly: “I am not interested in knowing your past. You can come here, which means that you have Ning’er in your heart and you have some ability, but I am a second-class duke of the current dynasty, and I only have this granddaughter. You are neither the emperor of the five dynasties nor the top of the Tianjiao list. What qualifications do you have to let my granddaughter be your concubine?”
Lin Xiu knew this very well. Old Duke Xue was a strong man of the heavenly rank. Even if his granddaughter entered the palace as a concubine, she would at least be a noble concubine, a virtuous concubine, or a virtuous concubine.
As for the Tianjiao list, it is a ranking list of geniuses from all countries on the continent, including the five dynasties.
There are only a hundred people on this list, which brings together young geniuses under the age of 25 from all countries on the continent. The top of the Tianjiao list represents the five dynasties and dozens of kingdoms. No one among his peers can defeat him. Even if his current strength is still a little insufficient, he will sooner or later become the strongest person standing at the top of the continent.
The emperors of the five dynasties are somewhat eclipsed by the top of the Tianjiao list.
Such a strong man is certainly worthy of the daughter of the Xue family. Even
if Lin Xiu is interested in becoming an emperor and has such strength, it will be many years later. As for the Tianjiao list, he is only 19 years old and has six years to get on the list.
Six years, for him, is almost equivalent to a hundred years.
At that time, even Zhao Lingjun, he has the confidence to surpass him.
Lin Xiu asked: “If I become the top of the Tianjiao list, will the old Duke Xue agree to let me marry Ning’er?”
Seeing Lin Xiu’s serious look, the old Duke Xue was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said: “Boy, you have some talent, but this world is big. Compared with the geniuses of other countries, your talent is nothing. Let alone the top of the Tianjiao list, you can enter the top ten of the Tianjiao list. I will not stop you and Ning’er.”
Lin Xiu looked at the old Duke Xue with a burning gaze and asked: “Really?”
The old Duke Xue said: “What I say is as good as gold!”
Lin Xiu stretched out his hand and said: “Clap your hands to swear.”
The old Duke Xue stretched out his hand and hit his palm, making a crisp sound.
His initial idea was to find a husband for Ning’er. After learning that Ning’er had someone she liked, and that he was a married man, he even thought about letting the man divorce his original wife and giving his original wife a generous compensation, as long as Ning’er could be happy. But
his granddaughter fell in love with Zhao Lingjun’s husband.
Old Duke Xue saw the various undercurrents behind this marriage very clearly. It was impossible for Lin Xiu and Zhao Lingjun to divorce. Even if they agreed, His Majesty would not agree. Old Duke
Xue believed that no woman could occupy the position of the wife and let her granddaughter be a concubine.
Except Zhao Lingjun.
It happened to be Zhao Lingjun.
He knew his granddaughter’s character very well. She looked well-behaved and obedient, but she would never change what she had determined. For Ning’er’s happiness, he could agree that the two of them were together, but he would not let him get his wish easily.
The easier it is to get something, the less you know how to cherish it.
He just said that and put forward some harsh conditions to continue testing him. He didn’t expect that this kid would increase the difficulty for himself. Entering the top ten of the Tianjiao list would be regarded as a treasure in any country. Even in Daxia, he is the first person besides Zhao Lingjun.
In this case, Ning’er would not be wronged even if she followed him.
If he can really do it, it also shows that his talent is extremely outstanding. The child of him and Ning’er is also likely to be a rare genius. At that time, if their first child is named Xue, it will support the future of the Xue family.
Old Duke Xue looked at Lin Xiu and suddenly asked, “I am very curious. If I don’t agree with you and Ning’er, what will you do?”
Lin Xiu said honestly, “When I have enough strength, I will come to the Xue Mansion to persuade you until you agree.”
Old Duke Xue glanced at him. This persuasion is probably not persuasion in the ordinary sense.
When he saw his granddaughter still in his arms, Old Duke Xue frowned and said, “Ning’er, why don’t you let him go? How can you hug a married man in front of me?”
Xue Ning’er reluctantly let go of Lin Xiu, and then she found that Lin Xiu’s injuries were more serious than what she had just seen, especially the wound on his shoulder, which seemed to have penetrated his entire body directly, and there were a lot of blood on his back.
She was so distressed that tears fell, and she said anxiously, “You, how are you injured so badly? Let’s go find Miss Shuangshuang for treatment!”
After that, she no longer paid attention to her grandfather, holding Lin Xiu’s hand, and hurriedly flew towards the direction of the palace.
Old Duke Xue sighed and said, “Alas, a girl should not be kept at home when she grows up, should not be kept at home…”
Then, he glanced at Xue Li who was standing beside him, and said unhappily, “I asked you to make him suffer a little. Who asked you to be so heavy-handed?”
Xue Li looked innocent and said, “Father, I have been very careful, but this kid is a ruthless person. He was determined to defeat me even at the risk of being seriously injured. He rushed towards my sword, and it was too late for me to stop.”
Old Duke Xue showed surprise in his eyes, and then said, “This is good, it shows that he is sincere to Ning’er. It’s a pity that he has an engagement with the one from the Zhao family…”
Xue Li thought of the battle just now, his face became a little serious, and said, “Father, this …”
This little guy is not simple. With his current strength, although he is not enough to enter the top ten of the Tianjiao list, he will definitely have a place on the next Tianjiao list. He is also a hidden genius. “
Old Duke Xue raised his eyebrows and said, “You mean, he has been hiding his talent for so many years, but why did he do that?”
Xue Li thought for a while and said, “A tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind. With his identity and status, it may not be a good thing to expose his talent too early. If it weren’t for this coincidence, I don’t know how long he would have endured it. “
Old Duke Xue said, “At such a young age, he can be so cunning, much better than those boys in our family.”
There was some regret in his tone.
Although the Xue family is now prosperous, when he is a hundred years old, no one can take up the responsibility of the family.
His four sons have limited talents. Among these grandsons, although there are a few with good talents, they are still unable to protect such a large family. Several sons have been carrying on the family line for many years, but there is no genius like Lin Xiu and Zhao Lingjun.
However, think about it, if Ning’er becomes a family with him and Zhao Lingjun, when he dies, the Xue family will have a new backer for decades, and the biggest backer. At the
age of 19, she is in the upper realm of the earth level, and the Tianjiao list can no longer accommodate her.
She can compete with the strong men of the older generation.
Such a powerful woman will allow her husband to take a concubine?
The biggest obstacle for the two of them to be together is not the Xue family, but her unparalleled wife…
the Imperial Hospital.
When Shuangshuang saw Lin Xiu, he was no longer surprised by his injuries. Lin Xiu washed off the blood on his body, only wrapped a piece of cloth around his waist, and lay naked on the bed, allowing Shuangshuang’s little hands to touch him. It was
smooth, soft, and quite comfortable.
I don’t know if A Ke felt this way at the time. Thinking of A Ke, two moons began to appear in Lin Xiu’s mind again.
Xue Ning’er stood by the bed, looking at Lin Xiu’s body, being touched by a beautiful girl like this, and felt a little uncomfortable.
She had never touched like this before.
But when she thought that he was a doctor who was treating Lin Xiu’s wound, her annoyance disappeared without a trace.
Lin Xiu found that he could not think of A Ke. The photographic memory brought by the eye skill allowed him to clearly replay the scene at that time anytime and anywhere. Coupled with his increasingly powerful imagination, he could almost replay the scene in his mind…
At this time, Shuangshuang had already treated the wound on his back and said, “Brother Lin, turn around. I will treat the wound in front of you.”
Lin Xiu lay on the bed without moving, and said awkwardly, “I don’t have much strength now. Let me lie down for a while and take a break…”
