Young Master, Don't Show Off - Chapter 217

[Chapter 217 The Power of Space]

Lin Xiu always believed that opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared.

He had been paying attention to Qianye Lin, and he actually waited for the opportunity.

In the capital of Daxia, someone wanted to assassinate Fusang’s talented girl, who was also a wind-attributed earth-level magician. If he hadn’t received the news and arrived in time, she would have been in danger of falling tonight.

Qianye Lin’s talent is very high, but she is too young. Even if she has few rivals of her peers, she can’t beat those strong people who have practiced for a long time.

This is also the reason why the Tianjiao list is limited to those under 25 years old.

If there is no age limit, the list must be a group of old guys.

Lin Xiu hugged Qianye Lin, and a force quietly flowed into her body to stabilize her injuries first.

This is not the core area of East City, and it is closer to the new house. When Lin Xiu carried her back to the new house, Zhao Lingyin and Qin Wan both walked out of the room.

Zhao Lingyin was stunned for a moment when she saw Lin Xiu coming back with a woman in his arms, but soon she saw that it was Qianye Lin in his arms, and she looked badly injured, so she hurried forward and asked, “What happened to her?”

Lin Xiu put her on the bed in a room and said, “You guys help me take care of her for a while, I’ll go find Shuangshuang.”

After that, he hurried away again.

When Lin Xiu came to the Bai family, Shuangshuang was still awake. When she heard that someone was injured, she didn’t delay and rushed to the new house with Lin Xiu as soon as possible.

Shuangshuang treated Qianye Lin in the room. In the yard, Zhao Lingyin looked puzzled and asked Lin Xiu, “Someone wanted to kill her, and you happened to meet her?”

Lin Xiu shrugged and said, “Believe it or not, it’s just a coincidence. I couldn’t sleep at night, so I went out for a walk and encountered this kind of thing…”

Qin Wan can testify for Lin Xiu on this point.

He really likes to wander the streets at night. She and Lin Xiu are so familiar with each other.

Zhao Lingyin stopped dwelling on the matter and murmured, “Who wants to kill her? She’s in the top ten of the Tianjiao list…”

Lin Xiu didn’t know who was behind this, but there were too many suspects.

Perhaps someone wanted to kill Fusang’s talented girl in the cradle, and didn’t want to see

a Tian-level master appear in Fusang in the future. Or perhaps someone wanted to create chaos during the small competition and let the Daxia court take the blame.

Although the countries on the mainland are peaceful on the surface, there are many fights in secret. If Qianye Lin gets into trouble in Daxia, the Daxia court will certainly not be able to shirk its relationship.

Although no one can do anything to the Daxia court, it is still a shameful thing.

It may also be her competitor. Her ability is too restrained for some magicians who have no self-protection ability, like Princess Minghe, who has strong attacks and extremely weak defenses. When facing other warriors, as long as they are not close to them, they can still fight. When they meet Qianye Lin, they can declare defeat if she teleports close to them.

After a while, Shuangshuang walked out of the room and said to Lin Xiu, “I have healed her wound. She just needs to rest for a while.”

Lin Xiu said, “Thank you for your hard work, Shuangshuang. It’s too late today. You should stay here for one night. I’ll take you back tomorrow.”

Shuangshuang did not refuse. Fortunately, there were enough rooms in this house. Shuangshuang could have one room, Qianye Lin could have one room, and there were still many empty rooms.

After settling Shuangshuang, Lin Xiu walked to Qianye Lin’s room and asked, “You didn’t live in the post house arranged by the court, how could you be hunted by assassins?”

Qianye Lin shook her head and said, “I live in the inn.”

Lin Xiu asked her, “Who wants to kill you? Is there anyone who suspects you?”

Qianye Lin shook her head and said, “No.”

Lin Xiu thought for a while and said, “Don’t go back to the inn. Tomorrow morning, I will have someone pack up your things and bring them here. These days, you should rest and recuperate here. Try to get well before the competition and don’t affect the competition.”

This time, Qianye Lin was silent for a moment, but did not refuse. Instead, he bowed his head and said, “Sorry, I have caused you trouble…”

Lin Xiu smiled and said, “Miss Qianye is polite again. We are all friends. You should treat this place as your own home. If you need anything, just tell me…”

When dealing with foreign friends, Lin Xiu showed the hospitality of Daxia, a country of etiquette.

This also changed Qianye Lin’s impression of Daxia.

In her impression, Daxia is the Celestial Empire, and it doesn’t take these small countries around it seriously. I didn’t expect that there are such kind and enthusiastic people here…

After a while, Lin Xiu walked out of Qianye Lin’s room and closed the door for her. He

unexpectedly took in another homeless girl.

Although she was no longer of any use to him after he brought her back, Lin Xiu has never been a person who would abandon others after using them. She was injured and there were assassins chasing her. If he ignored her at this time, wouldn’t he let her die?

People should know how to repay kindness.

This is the reward for her ability.

After Lingyin and Qin Wan returned to their rooms, Lin Xiu came to the backyard.

However, he did not start practicing martial arts directly.

He closed his eyes and could clearly feel that there was a kind of energy surging in the void around him. This energy was everywhere and filled the entire space.

This is the power of space.

When he brought the injured Qianye Lin back, he was naturally in close contact. Such a long time was enough for Lin Xiu to copy her ability to his hand. Two space-related abilities did not require extra ability positions.

Lin Xiu did not have a strong desire for this ability itself.

Most of the time, he could not use this ability in front of others.

What he wanted more was the power of space.

His previous guess was correct. Just like the power of the five elements and the power of thunder, this world also has the power of space. This power is everywhere. It does not require any ice caves, volcanic lava, or thunder land. It exists anywhere in this world.

In other words, no matter when and where he is, he can draw power from space to increase his own Yuanli.

Lin Xiu used that power and the whole person disappeared in an instant.

It was not a blinding concealment, but a real disappearance in the real space.

At this moment, everything in reality became a little illusory in his eyes. Lin Xiu tried to touch the stone table not far away, but his palm passed through the stone table. This was enough to show that this was a subspace independent of reality.

As he moved in this space, his position in the real space was also moving.

After a while, Lin Xiu felt a repulsive force emerging from this space, which became stronger and stronger, and repelled him out.

He returned to the real space.

It seems that this space cannot be stayed for too long.

Lin Xiu entered that space again, and after trying several times, he came to a conclusion.

This space can be entered several times, but each time cannot be stayed for too long. The longer the time, the greater the repulsive force of the space, until he is repelled back to the real space.

At present, he can probably stay in that space for about fifteen seconds.

However, after leaving this space, he can enter it immediately and stay for another fifteen seconds. This is the ability that Qianye Lin used when challenging Zhao Lingjun. After

she escaped into the subspace, she can appear in different locations in the real space. If the speed is fast, it will be like a shadow clone, with multiple afterimages, and each layer is a real attack.

Lin Xiu closed his eyes for a moment, and when he opened his eyes again, the whole person flashed, disappeared from the original place, and instantly appeared several feet away.

Teleport.

This is another use of this space ability.

No wonder she was able to rank among the top ten of the Tianjiao list at the age of seventeen. This ability is simply a nightmare for fragile magicians.

Only abilities that are biased towards defense, or both offense and defense, can restrain her.

For example, the golden body, the gold and earth of the five elements, and the ice system can barely be counted. There is also telekinesis. Under the invisible telekinesis barrier, no matter how elusive she is, it is useless, just like when she competed with Zhao Lingjun.

However, spatial ability also has an obvious disadvantage.

Lin Xiu explored and found that there was not much Yuanli left in his body.

This ability seems to consume more Yuanli than all the abilities he has. If he cannot win in a short time, he will fall into a situation of Yuanli exhaustion.

Lin Xiu practiced for a night, and when it was almost dawn, he slept for half an hour to recover his energy.

He got up a little earlier than usual and made breakfast for five people with Qin Wan.

Qianye Lin’s wound was healed by Shuangshuang, but he still looked a little weak. After dinner, Lin Xiu sent Shuangshuang home and then went to the palace.

The Qingli Division is responsible for investigating her assassination.

However, this case is inconclusive, and the Qingli Division probably won’t find anything. Her identity is special, so let Emperor Xia hand it over to the Secret Investigation Division for investigation.

Imperial Study.

Emperor Xia is talking to Zhu Jin.

He drank a sip of the ginseng soup that Concubine Shu had cooked overnight, and asked, “Are there no more fifth-level Yuanjing?”

Zhu Jin replied, “The only two were given to Miss Qin. Your Majesty also knows that killing ten fifth-level beasts may not necessarily get a complete Yuanjing. A few months ago, the Zhang family sent people to various countries to purchase at high prices in order to promote the prince, and only purchased five. Later, they were stolen by the people of the Tiandao League. Several families in the royal capital may have one or two, but they may not take them out…”

Emperor Xia put down the soup bowl helplessly. Although he also wanted to leave the Yuanjing to his daughter, the fact is that Qin Wan’s promotion to the Earth Level means more to the court. In the

next year’s competition, Daxia is facing a dilemma of a lack of successors, and the court expects Qin Wan to be in the top ten of the Tianjiao list.

Even if Minghe could enter the Earth Rank, he would not be able to enter the top ten.

He sighed and said, “Even the small country of Fusang can produce a top ten genius. In the great country of Great Xia, except for Zhao Lingjun, no one can compare. When can they fight for me…”

At this time, an eunuch came in and said, “Your Majesty, Lin Xiu wants to see you.”

Every time Lin Xiu came to see him, it was not good news. He either asked for a house or asked for a marriage. But he had not seen Lin Xiu for a while. Emperor Xia waved his hand and said, “Let him in.”
