Young Master, Don't Show Off - Chapter 182

[Chapter 182 Martial Arts Exchange]

After leaving the Imperial Study, Lin Xiu walked out of the palace.

The selection was over, and he could finally take care of his own affairs.

He had to quickly marry Cai Yi home, complete the wedding night, and then focus on cultivation, break through to the Earth Rank as soon as possible, and ensure that he would be among the top ten of the Tianjiao list in next year’s competition.

The world is big, and he can’t underestimate the Tianjiao of other countries. After all, he can’t use all his abilities during the competition. It’s safer to go one step further and reach the Earth Rank.

This time, the preparations for the wedding will be simpler, because taking a concubine is different from marrying a wife. Taking a concubine does not require three books and six ceremonies, nor does it require worshipping in the hall. Just sitting in a sedan chair and setting up a banquet is already considered grand.

Zhao Lingjun is Lin Xiu’s legal wife. When he married her, the Ministry of Rites followed the etiquette and went through a series of cumbersome rituals, and eight people carried the sedan chair to welcome her in.

After her, all the women who entered the Lin Mansion, no matter which famous family they came from or how prominent their status was, could only be considered concubines.

Although it was impossible to give Caiyi a wedding like Zhao Lingjun’s, Lin Xiu was unwilling to make do. He and Caiyi bought red candles, ribbons, lanterns, and red paper together. Lin Xiu also wrote the invitations himself. He personally sent the invitations to Caiyi’s sisters and the class owner of Lihuayuan, and Lin Xiu’s colleagues in the Qingli Division.

For him, this was his first wedding.

After being busy for most of the day, Lin Xiu sent Caiyi to the wedding residence. Although she was not a member of the Lin family yet and it was not appropriate for her to live here, it was the safest for her to live with Zhao Lingjun, and Lin Xiu was relieved.

When he returned to his new house, Lin Xiu found two figures standing in the yard.

A girl of sixteen or seventeen years old, and a beautiful woman holding a cat in her arms.

Lin Xiu was stunned for a moment and said in great surprise: “My queen, why are you here!”

The imperial concubine stroked the pet, glanced at Lin Xiu, and said: “I will stay with you for a few days, and clean up a room for me.”

Lin Xiu still found it hard to believe.

Let the imperial concubine go out of the palace to spend the night, or a few days, is the dog emperor so heartless?

However, thinking about how the Imperial Concubine had tried her best to ensure that the Pretty Widow was selected during the selection today, Lin Xiu understood.

This should be the price of her help.

Lin Xiu cleaned up the main room of the house for her, and Linglong lived with her in the same room to take care of her. In the next few days, he and Caiyi would probably have to accompany the Imperial Concubine.

She was like a bird in a cage. After experiencing the vastness of the sky, she was no longer willing to return to the cage.

Qin Wan and Lingyin seemed to have gotten used to the Imperial Concubine like this, and they were no longer restrained when they first met her.

Early in the morning, Lin Xiu brought Caiyi here. Today was a good day, and he planned to take them out for an outing, picnic and kite flying. Since the Imperial Concubine had already left the palace, he might as well take her to experience something she had never experienced before.

In addition to Caiyi, the Imperial Concubine, and the little palace maid Linglong, Lin Xiu also called Lingyin and Qin Wan to cook outside. Without Qin Wan, he could not handle it alone.

The mountains and rivers are beautiful, the grass is green, and the laughter of the imperial concubine and the little palace maid Linglong can be heard from time to time. Even the little guy has completely let himself go, flying around in the vast sky. Whether it is the birds in the sky or the beasts on the ground, they are all chased by it and flee.

Lin Xiu put his hands behind his head, looking at the blue sky, his heart is extremely peaceful.

There is no hard practice, no calculation and killing. Life should be so comfortable and comfortable. When he marries Ning’er, cultivates to the heavenly level, solves all obstacles, helps Li Baizhang become the emperor, and lets him govern the world well, he will enjoy it every day.

It seems that she is tired of running. The imperial concubine handed the kite to Linglong, walked to Lin Xiu, sat on the grass, supported her body with her arms behind her, raised her head and closed her eyes, and breathed the fresh air around her almost greedily.

She blocked the sunlight, and Lin Xiu lay in the shadow of her body. She couldn’t see her face clearly, but could only see a moving outline. At

this moment, an idea suddenly came to Lin Xiu’s mind.

An extremely bold idea.

He wanted to help her escape from the deep palace that trapped her.

Let her breathe the air of freedom forever.

Soon, Lin Xiu realized one thing.

Not only did he want to interfere with the establishment of the crown prince, but he also wanted to snatch the imperial concubine.

The dog emperor’s worries were right.

He was indeed a treacherous minister.

…

The harem.

At noon, Emperor Xia walked out of a palace with a look of satisfaction on his face.

With Lin Xiu outside and the imperial concubine inside, couldn’t he marry whoever he wanted?

The only thing he didn’t expect was that Zhang Jing died.

It would not be difficult for the Zhang family to find out that the woman in that case became his concubine, which means that he had to bear the blame.

Emperor Xia didn’t want to take the blame for others, but he couldn’t take it off even if he wanted to.

He was indeed very angry at first, but now he has figured it out.

Over the years, the Zhang family has been so rampant that he can no longer tolerate it. However, although the royal family is stronger than the Zhang family, they cannot touch them. If the Zhang family is eliminated, there will be the Song family, the Xue family, and the Chen family. At that time, the remaining strength of the royal family will no longer be able to restrain other families.

But in the same way, even if he really kills Zhang Jing, the Zhang family will be helpless against him.

On the surface, there is still a harmonious scene between the monarch and his subjects, but the contradictions in secret have accumulated more.

Zhu Jin stood outside the palace and had obviously been waiting for a long time.

He hesitated for a moment, and still said: “Your Majesty, something happened at the Martial Arts Academy.”

Today is a good day, and he doesn’t want to disturb His Majesty’s mood, but this matter is not big, nor is it small. To put it in a small way, it’s just losing a few competitions. To put it in a big way, it is related to the dignity of the country.

Emperor Xia asked: “What’s the matter?”

Zhu Jin said, “The Wuji country’s envoys came to the capital several months earlier this time. In the name of exchange and learning, they had several sparring matches with the geniuses of the Martial Arts Academy.”

Emperor Xia said indifferently, “Let them spar. Wuji and Fusang have been jumping up and down in recent years. I have long disliked them. You go and inform the Martial Arts Academy to tell the students not to hold back and teach them a lesson.”

Zhu Jin’s face showed embarrassment and said, “Your Majesty, the small Wuji country obviously came prepared this time. The students of my Martial Arts Academy have lost several games in a row.”

Emperor Xia’s face sank: “What?”

…

Martial Arts Academy.

Two figures competed on the arena in the training ground.

The long spear in Zhao Xuan’s hand was like a dragon, forming countless afterimages in the void. Opposite him was a young man.

The young man was strolling in the surrounding gun shadows, easily dodging all his attacks.

Under the ring, Vice President Chen and several instructors looked slightly depressed, while a group of students from the martial arts academy stared at the stage with angry expressions.

Compared with them, on the other side of the ring, several figures dressed slightly differently from the others had smiles on their faces.

Bang!

At a certain moment, Zhao Xuan’s figure flew out of the ring, landed and stepped back several steps before he could barely stand.

The young man on the stage clasped his fists to him and said in a not-so-standard Daxia language: “Sorry, you’re too slow.”

Being humiliated twice in the same place by different people in the same way, Zhao Xuan blushed and walked to Vice President Chen and several instructors, bowed his head and said: “I lost.” Vice President Chen

patted him on the shoulder and said: “It doesn’t matter, you are still young, and in two years, you may not lose to him.”

At this time, a man walked to Vice President Chen and said with a smile: “We are here to learn. I wonder if your academy has more powerful students. Please don’t hesitate to teach us.”

Although Vice President Chen had a smile on his face, he was angry in his heart.

These people from Wuji Country came here to study, but in reality they were here to provoke.

The young man from Wuji Country on the stage had good martial arts skills, and was not much inferior to the students from Tianzi Academy. It was obvious that he also had some kind of speed skill.

With this ability, it was difficult for anyone below the Earth Rank to defeat him.

Even if other students were allowed to go up, they would have the same fate.

The people from Wuji Country had bad intentions from the beginning.

Vice Dean Chen said, “Of course there are, but they are not in the academy now. Tomorrow is our academy’s arena challenge. By then, all the geniuses in the academy will come, and you can also participate in the challenge.”

The Wuji country man smiled and said, “Then we will come again tomorrow.”

Just after sending off this group of Wuji country people, Zhu Jin came to the martial arts academy and said to Vice Dean Chen, “Your Majesty has summoned you.”

A moment later, in the imperial study, Emperor Xia frowned and asked Vice Dean Chen, “In such a large martial arts academy, is there no one who can defeat the genius of Wuji country?”

Vice Dean Chen said, “Your Majesty, that man is indeed very talented, and he has a special skill to increase his speed, which can make him invincible. With the current strength of the students in Tianzi Academy, no one of his age can defeat him, unless Miss Zhao takes action…”

Emperor Xia waved his hand. , said: “Let the top of the Tianjiao list fight against an unknown junior. I can’t afford to lose this person, and Daxia can’t afford to lose this person. We can’t rely on Zhao Lingjun for everything. Don’t we have anyone else in Daxia?”

Vice Dean Chen thought about it and said: “The two from the Zhang family and the one from the Song family should be able to beat them.”

Emperor Xia also denied it without hesitation and said: “They are also on the Tianjiao list, and they are five years older than them. If it gets out, others will only say that Daxia only bullies the weak and has no face…”

Vice Dean Chen said helplessly: “This rising star from Wuji Country is indeed strong. Even in next year’s competition, he will shine. Wuji Country and Fusang Country have been dissatisfied with Daxia for a long time. This time, they are obviously deliberately embarrassing us.”

Emperor Xia felt a little aggrieved.

Daxia’s national strength is ten times that of Wuji Country, but no one can hit their arrogance.

Even though he knew that the rise of one or two geniuses in Wuji Country was nothing, he still couldn’t swallow this breath.

At this time, Zhu Jin stepped forward and said, “Your Majesty, have you forgotten that there is another person who is about the same age as the genius of Wuji Country and will definitely be able to beat him.”

Emperor Xia immediately asked, “Who?”

Zhu Jin said slowly, “Lin Xiu…”

Upon hearing this, Vice Dean Chen shook his head and said, “Although Lin Xiu is fast enough, the genius of Wuji Country is faster, and in terms of cultivation, Lin Xiu is far inferior to him. He is not as fast or as strong as him, and he can’t beat him at all.”

Emperor Xia realized that he had forgotten Lin Xiu.

It was really Zhao Lingjun who was too outstanding. As her husband, Lin Xiu’s strength was not enough.

But compared with Zhao Lingjun, his performance at the Xue family that time did not hide from the eyes and ears of the Secret Investigation Department. It was

at that time that Emperor Xia realized that he might have awakened his ability very early, but he had been hiding his incompetence, which was also in line with his insidious and cunning character.

He didn’t think that Lin Xiu could cultivate to his current strength in a year.

Daxia had two geniuses like Zhao Lingjun, and he would never dare to do so in his dreams.

He was delighted and immediately said, “Quick, find him for me!”

Zhu Jin walked to his side and whispered a few words.

Emperor Xia raised his eyebrows and whispered, “He is interested in going on a picnic. The weather is good today, so let’s go and join in the fun…”
