Young Master, Don't Show Off - Chapter 190

[Chapter 190 Farewell]

Outside the capital city.

Madam Wu’an Hou held Lingyin’s hand and said reluctantly: “You must take good care of yourself when you are alone outside. It is very cold there. Wear more clothes…”

“Mom, have you forgotten my ability? How can I be afraid of the cold?” Zhao Lingyin patted her hand and said, “Don’t worry, I am not going alone this time. I can take care of myself.”

Today is the day when Lingyin sets off for the northern polar region. Lin Xiu and the people of the Zhao family send her out of the city.

The Yishu Academy and the court attach great importance to her. This time, there is a strong man of the upper realm of the earth level to protect her throughout the trip to the polar region, and there are also several earth-level worshippers accompanying her. At the same time, there is also a female classmate with fire attribute from the Yishu Academy who goes with her, just to provide her with twice the speed of practice.

After Lady Wu’anbo finished speaking, Zhao Lingjun walked over again. The sisters talked for a while, and Zhao Lingyin walked up to Lin Xiu and said, “I’m leaving. Leave my room to me.”

Lin Xiu said, “I’ll clean it for you often.”

Zhao Lingyin glanced at him for the last time, and said nothing more. She walked into the crowd. A white-haired old woman waved her sleeves, and all of them flew into the air and quickly disappeared from Lin Xiu’s sight.

Princess Minghe and Li Baizhang left a few days ago, and Lingyin also left today. Lin Xiu felt that his life suddenly seemed to be missing something.

When Lingyin was there, he didn’t feel anything. On the first night she left, Lin Xiu stood in the yard, looking at the dark room, but he was a little uncomfortable.

I don’t know since when, he has become accustomed to Lingyin appearing in his life every day.

Suddenly, Lin Xiu’s eyes blurred, and a cold figure appeared in front of him.

It was Lingyin.

Lin Xiu turned around and saw Qin Wan standing at the door of her room. She asked, “How are you? Are you feeling better?”

Lin Xiu reached out to touch Ling Yin’s face, but her hand went straight through her body.

An illusion is an illusion after all. You can see it but you can’t touch it. Qin Wan thought about it and walked forward. Her face suddenly changed into Ling Yin’s. She said to Lin Xiu, “Touching your face costs ten taels of silver. You can only touch your face.”

The Ling Yin in front of her was also an illusion created by her ability.

Under Ling Yin’s face was Qin Wan’s body.

Lin Xiu held her face, rubbed and kneaded it, and she took a step back and said, “The time is up.”

Lin Xiu sighed, “You might as well just rob the money.”

Qin Wan said, “The choice is yours.”

Even if it was ten taels of silver each time, Lin Xiu could still touch her face nearly a thousand times, and he didn’t bother with Qin Wan anymore. At this time, Qin Wan suddenly stretched out her hand and said to Lin Xiu, “Why is there no effect at all after I applied the skin cream you gave me?”

Her hands are much better than before. Qin Wan’s hands used to be rough because of frequent work, and they didn’t look like a woman’s hands at all. Now, the hands in front of him, although not as delicate and smooth as Lingyin, Princess Minghe and Caiyi, are already the same as a normal woman’s hands.

Lin Xiudao explained, “Didn’t I tell you that just applying it is useless? You have to combine it with my unique massage technique.”

In the room, Lin Xiu applied the ointment on her hands and said, “Before I leave, I must make your hands white and tender…”

Just as he couldn’t bear to see the scars on A Ke’s body, a woman like Qin Wan should not have any flaws on her body.

The next morning, Lin Xiu practiced all night, took a short nap, and got up and worked in the kitchen with Qin Wan for breakfast for two people.

Qin Wan is very suitable for living. She is hardworking, strong and independent. Whether it is cooking or doing housework, she is very good. She was cooking noodles, and Lin Xiu was frying eggs on the side. Soon, two bowls of plain noodles with poached eggs were ready. The two sat at the stone table in the yard and enjoyed the early morning time.

Lin Xiu was halfway through eating

noodles when he suddenly looked at the door.

Not long after, there was a knock on the door outside. Lin Xiu opened the door and saw Zhu Jin standing outside.

Lin Xiu asked in confusion, “Your Majesty, are you looking for me again? I only have a few bites left after I finish my meal…”

Zhu Jin shook his head and said, “I’m not looking for you this time. I’m looking for Miss Qin Wan.”

Zhu Jin walked into the yard, and Qin Wan also stood up and asked, “General Manager Zhu is looking for me. Is there another case in the Secret Investigation Department?”

Zhu Jin put a wooden box on the stone table and said, “It’s not about the case this time.”

He opened the wooden box, and Lin Xiu looked at the things in the wooden box and his eyes widened.

In this box, there was actually a pile of fourth-level Yuan Crystals, at least dozens of them. The price of this pile of Yuan Crystals is at least more than 500,000 taels.

Zhu Jin said to Qin Wan, “I hope Miss Qin will use these Yuan Crystals to practice well and break through to the Earth Level as soon as possible before March next year. His Majesty has high hopes for you in the competition. If we collect enough Yuan Crystals in the future, our family will send them to you as soon as possible…”

Lin Xiu was surprised. He knew better than anyone how stingy Emperor Xia was.

He had been talking about the two houses he had given him for months, but this time, he was so generous to Qin Wan that he just took out Yuanjing worth hundreds of thousands of taels. Moreover, this was the first batch. In history, there were not many masters of different arts who could directly use Yuanjing to practice after awakening four times.

This was not just a waste of money, but a waste of the country.

But Qin Wan was indeed worth it.

If she broke through to the Earth Rank, then 90% of the Earth Rank contestants in the competition would have no chance to play. Emperor Xia’s expectation for her was to be in the top ten of the Tianjiao list, which was much greater than his expectation for Lin Xiu.

With the same Earth Rank cultivation, Qin Wan’s chance of entering the top ten of the Tianjiao list was greater than that of Lingyin and Princess Minghe combined.

Lin Xiu looked at Zhu Jin and said, “General Manager Zhu, go back and talk to His Majesty. How come everyone in Tianziyuan gets benefits except me? His Majesty is too obviously biased…”

Zhu Jin said lightly, “Didn’t His Majesty give you a chance? You gave up the great opportunity, but now you blame His Majesty. Anyone in the capital can say that His Majesty is biased, but you are not qualified. Your wedding residence was given by His Majesty, and this house was also given by His Majesty. Whether it is marrying a wife or taking a concubine, it was His Majesty who granted the marriage. What reason do you have to say that His Majesty is biased?”

To put it bluntly, Emperor Xia still has more confidence in Qin Wan than in him.

However, Lin Xiu was not envious, and he didn’t give an outsider any advantage. He said to Zhu Jin, “You still have to go back to the palace to report. Wait for me for a while. I also want to visit the Imperial Concubine…”

He was going to leave the capital for a while and had to tell the Imperial Concubine.

Not long after, in Changchun Palace, the Royal Concubine who was pruning branches paused and asked, “Where are you going and when will you be back when you leave the capital?”

Lin Xiu said, “I want to take Caiyi back to Jiangnan for half a month at the shortest and a month at the longest. Whatever gifts your Majesty wants, we will bring them back for you.”

The Royal Concubine shook her head and said, “I don’t want any gifts. Jiangnan is not like the capital. Your Majesty and I can’t protect you. You and Caiyi should be careful when you are out there.”

After thinking about it, she was still worried, so she went back to the palace, came out soon, put a jade token in Lin Xiu’s hand, and said, “Keep this. If you encounter any problems that you can’t solve, go to the capital of Jiangnan Prefecture to find the Murong family and give them this token. They will help you.”

Lin Xiu did not refuse. She accepted the jade token and said, “Thank you, Royal Concubine.”

Today, Lin Xiu spent more than twice as much time in Changchun Palace as before.

The Imperial Concubine was in a low mood. Lin Xiu regretted telling her that he and Caiyi were going to Jiangnan, which was the hometown that the Imperial Concubine could not return to. Wouldn’t it make her uncomfortable to tell her this?

In fact, at his current speed, he could take the Imperial Concubine from the capital to Jiangnan and then back to the capital from Jiangnan within one day. At that time, he only needed to hide her in his personal space.

However, every time the Empress left the palace, she was protected by countless secret agents, so he would not have such an opportunity.

When he walked out of the palace, Lin Xiu looked at the jade card in his hand. This jade card looked like the identity jade card of a big family. On the back of the jade card was a lifelike young phoenix carved, and the words “Murong” were engraved on the front.

Murong seemed to be the surname of the Imperial Concubine. Lin Xiu didn’t know what her maiden name was. The maiden names of the Queen and the Imperial Concubine were taboos in the palace.

In addition to informing the Imperial Concubine, he also had to inform Ning’er.

Now that Lin Xiu came to the Xue family, it was like returning to his own home.

Ning’er’s brothers called him “brother-in-law” all the time. The elders of the Xue family, including Old Duke Xue, were not as stiff to him as they were at the beginning.

Of course, after marrying Caiyi, Old Duke Xue still gave him a cold look twice and warned him that if he dared to marry another woman before Ning’er, the previous agreement between the two would be completely invalidated.

In the Xue Mansion, Old Duke Xue looked at Lin Xiu, snorted coldly, and said, “Boy, you are very confident. You gave such a good opportunity to others. I will wait and see how you can enter the top ten of the Tianjiao list in a year. I might as well tell you that Ning’er will also participate in the next competition. If you can’t even beat Ning’er by then, don’t blame me for being unreasonable.”

Lin Xiu said, “Don’t worry, Old Duke Xue, I will definitely fulfill my promise.”

Old Duke Xue looked Lin Xiu up and down. He was not a person who overestimated his own abilities, but he didn’t even need to think about being in the top ten of the Tianjiao list without the strength of the Earth Rank. Where was his confidence?

Could it be that he still had hidden strength?

A moment later, in Xue Ning’er’s courtyard, she and Lin Xiu sat at the stone table, holding hands. This was the most intimate action that two people could do in the Xue family. If they were any more intimate, they would be warned by the old Duke Xue.

She said a little unhappy: “In the future, you have to take me to Jiangnan. I haven’t been to Jiangnan yet.”

Lin Xiu held her hand and said, “Go, wherever you want to go, I’ll take you there. Jiangnan is nothing. If there is a chance in the future, I’ll take you to the moon…”

Xue Ning’er’s beautiful eyes curved up, and she suppressed her laughter and said, “You still think I’m a three-year-old child. How can you go to the moon?”

Lin Xiu really wasn’t lying to her.

He has space to hide people, telekinesis and flight, and speed. In the future, it will not be difficult to go to the moon. Coupled with the ability of fire, theoretically, he can even fly to the sun…

Thank you for the reward from the leader of Ruyi Ruyi.
