Young Master, Don't Show Off - Chapter 37
[Chapter 37 Caught in the act]
The people in the palace were very efficient. Half an hour later, Lin Xiu got the house deed and land deed of a house in Dongcheng.
The house was not big, a standard three-in-one courtyard house, about the same size as the Lin Mansion, but it was located near the imperial palace, surrounded by dignitaries, and the price was more than ten times that of the Lin Mansion.
It was really a coincidence that he just needed a house, and the emperor gave him one. Although he was exploited by his concubines every day for a month, it was worth it. When
the couple of the Earl of Ping’an learned about this, they were naturally very happy and immediately ordered the servants to pack up and prepare to move.
The Lin family used to live in Dongcheng, but later they fell into decline and could not even make a living, so they had to sell the house and move to the remote XC area. Now they can be regarded as returning to their hometown.
It took three days to move all the important things in the house, buy new furniture, and clean the entire house.
At this time, there were only two days left before the opening of the Yishu Academy.
The Yishu Academy has two long holidays every year for students to go home and visit their families. They are during the hottest time of summer and around the New Year. When the academy opens, the academy will offer some courses for students to choose freely.
Lin Xiu had already made plans for this.
There is no shortcut to practicing Yishu. He just needs to practice with Lingyin. Yishu Academy can’t help him much in this regard, and it won’t spend time and resources to train a student from Huangzi Academy.
For students like Lin Xiu who are not valued, the only purpose of staying in Yishu Academy is to wait for their abilities to be used by the court one day.
For example, if it weren’t for Lin Xiu, the emperor’s concubines would have suffered in the past month.
After the academy opens, Lin Xiu plans to systematically learn martial arts.
He has the power of Yishu, and practicing martial arts can achieve twice the result with half the effort, and improve his strength in a short time. Until now, Lin Xiu still doesn’t know who wants to kill him and when they will do it next time. Every time his strength improves, he will have more ability to protect himself.
In addition, the most important reason why Lin Xiu was eager to open the theater was, of course, to make friends. The more new friends he made, the more new abilities he would have. The power in his body was already thirsty…
After two days, he might not have much free time. He had been very busy these two days, so Lin Xiu planned to relax.
His way of relaxing was naturally to listen to music in Lihua Garden.
Lihua Garden.
Sun Dali sat on the steps outside the theater, with a very sad expression on his face. The
young master liked to come here very much recently, and he always found an actor and went upstairs every time. He didn’t know what the two of them were doing in the room.
As a guard, he shouldn’t care about the young master’s affairs.
But he had been in the Lin Mansion for many years and had long regarded this place as his home. The young master had an engagement with the Zhao family, and he ran out to flirt with other girls all day long. If the second lady knew about this, it would be terrible. He
didn’t know whether to tell the master and the lady about this.
If he told them, he would betray the young master.
If he didn’t tell them, in case the young master became addicted, it would not be a good thing for the Zhao family.
Just when Sun Dali was hesitating, a familiar voice suddenly came to his ears.
“What are you doing sitting here?”
Sun Dali raised his head, and when he saw the woman coming, his scalp suddenly felt numb.
He immediately patted his butt and stood up, saying: “Second, Second Miss, I, I’m tired, so I’ll sit here and rest for a while…” Every failure
makes you wiser. This time, he didn’t dare to glance at the theater, but Zhao Lingyin still looked at Lihua Garden and asked: “Is Lin Xiu in there?” Sun Dali could only
nod helplessly, praying in his heart that the young master was just listening to the music in there, otherwise, he might not be able to avoid a beating today…
Lihua Garden, private room on the second floor.
Caiyi pinched her orchid fingers, moved lightly with lotus steps, and said in a gentle voice: “She sang about meeting an old friend in a foreign land, and every step and every word was about lovesickness. The people in the audience were named on the imperial examination list, but they didn’t recognize the old acquaintances on the stage…”
Lin Xiu was really listening to the music.
Caiyi was singing a song from another world called “Looking into the Window”. She was originally an actress, and her singing was the most beautiful. It happened that Lin Xiu also liked ancient opera songs in her previous life, so she taught her a few more.
As she listened, a puzzled look appeared on Lin Xiu’s face. There were
many actors who were good at singing in Lihua Garden, but no one had a voice that was as infectious as hers that went straight into the soul. At first, Lin Xiu thought that it was because of her singing skills, but after listening to it many times, Lin Xiu gradually realized that the problem did not seem to be with her singing skills.
He seemed to have thought of something, and looked up and asked, “Miss Caiyi, have you awakened your special ability?”
Caiyi looked confused, then shook her head and said, “No…”
Lin Xiu hesitated for a moment, then said, “Miss Caiyi, can you please extend your hand so that I can check your pulse.”
Checking the pulse was actually Lin Xiu’s excuse. Whether or not she had awakened her special ability could not be known through checking the pulse, but he couldn’t say, “Miss Caiyi, can you please extend your hand so that I can touch it?” A pure and innocent girl might think that he was an indecent person.
Although
he was indeed indecent, he really had no other thoughts at the moment. Caiyi didn’t think much about it, and extended her hand openly.
She and the young man in front of her had met too many times, and she knew very well that he was not someone who would take advantage of her.
“Excuse me.”
Lin Xiu said to her, then extended three fingers and placed them on Caiyi’s wrist.
The moment their skin touched, Lin Xiu had the answer in his heart.
Sure enough.
A force in his body automatically entered Caiyi’s body and began to copy her abilities.
If it weren’t for Lin Xiu’s sudden inspiration, she probably wouldn’t even know that she had such an ability.
There are countless strange arts in the world, and not all of them have very obvious manifestations after awakening, such as the increase of strength, or the ability to make ice, understand the words of animals, etc. Some strange arts are very obscure in the early stage…
If Lin Xiu guessed correctly, the girl in colorful clothes should have awakened the art of sound.
When this ability is first awakened, it is only manifested in the transformation of the voice. People who awaken this ability will have a very beautiful voice, and the songs they sing will naturally have a charm that others cannot imitate.
Lin Xiu read a lot of books in the School of Strange Arts. The books record that many famous actors who have appeared in history are the owners of the art of sound.
However, the upper limit of this art is not high. People who have this power recorded in history have awakened their abilities at most three times.
For example, ice, fire, thunder, and strength arts all have clear methods of practice. By constantly honing yourself and constantly surpassing your own limits, you can awaken again and again.
But how should you practice abilities like animal language?
Because it is impossible to practice, it is impossible to awaken multiple times. The same is true for the sound art. Even though Lin Xiu knows that this art has a very high upper limit and the power of sound waves is no less than any heavenly art, there is no way to practice it, so naturally no one can practice it to that level.
Unless he has this ability.
Other magicians have only one way to go. If this road is blocked, there is no way out. But Lin Xiu is different. If one road is blocked, he can take another one. Anyway, the essence of awakening is the qualitative change of Yuanli. He awakened the ice art three times, and when he used the beast language ability again, he could mobilize the Yuanli awakened three times. I wonder what new changes this ability will have at that time?
At this moment, Lin Xiu didn’t know this, because no one has ever practiced a single beast language ability to that extent.
Similarly, if it was Lin Xiu who possessed the sound art, the upper limit of this ability would be greatly improved. Lin Xiu thought of the landlady’s lion roar, which was not small at all…
Just as Lin Xiu was thinking about how to get Caiyi’s ability, the door of the private room here was suddenly pushed open from the outside.
As soon as Zhao Lingyin opened the door, she saw Lin Xiu touching the girl’s hand.
