Young Master, Don't Show Off - Chapter 39
[Chapter 39 Dangerous Woman]
Lin Xiu felt extremely helpless. It was clear that the Earl of Ping’an was only a minor nobleman, and he was so low-key, but everyone in the capital had heard of his name. How outstanding was his fiancée whom he had never met?
Looking at the surprised look in the young man’s eyes, Lin Xiu nodded: “It’s me.” Upon
hearing this, the young man stood up in awe and bowed, saying: “I have heard of your name for a long time!”
Lin Xiu waved his hand and said: “You are too polite, brother.”
The young man shook his head and said: “Brother Lin, there is no need to be modest. How can someone who can bring a fairy down to the mortal world be an unknown person?”
“Fairy?” Lin Xiu glanced at the young man and asked: “Have you seen her?”
The young man nodded and said: “Of course I have.”
“How is she, is she beautiful?”
“More than beautiful, she is absolutely beautiful.”
“Compared to Miss Wan’er?”
…
The young man was silent for a moment, then said, “The proud daughter of heaven is beautiful, but I still like Miss Wan’er…”
Unexpectedly, this guy is quite principled. Lin Xiu once again looked at him differently, and then said, “I may know your name, brother.”
The young man smiled and said, “My name is Li Baizhang.”
He seemed to be very interested in Lin Xiu’s affairs, and asked, “The genius of the Zhao family even rejected the prince’s proposal. I don’t know how many people envy Brother Lin for having such a fiancée…”
Lin Xiu did not want to talk about this, and changed the subject, “I wonder which academy Brother Li is in, and what his supernatural abilities are?”
The young man shook his head and said, “I am ashamed to say that although I have comprehended the power of thunder, I don’t have much talent for cultivation. I just entered the Academy of Supernatural Arts this year, and I’ve been hanging around in the Huangzi Academy. Where’s you…”
“Thunder?”
Lin Xiu looked at this person and was overjoyed. He didn’t expect that he had just come to the Academy of Supernatural Arts and picked up a treasure. Thunder, this is a rare heaven-level supernatural art, its power is even greater than that of ice art.
At this moment, Lin Xiu had made up his mind. He was determined to make friends with this person.
His smile became even brighter, and he said to the young man, “Speaking of which, Brother Li and I share the same fate. I have just awakened the Ice Art, but I can only live in the Yellow Courtyard…” The
same situation and the same aesthetic immediately brought the two closer.
The Ice Art and the Thunder Art are both ranked at the top of the Heaven-level Art. If they are a little more talented, they will be the objects of competition among all major forces anywhere, and the future pillars of the country…
But both of them have the ability but no talent. It is better to awaken a Yellow-level ability, at least they will not feel sorry.
In this way, the two who share the same fate hit it off at first sight, and they chatted enthusiastically on the spot.
At this time, many women in the palace also cast their eyes on the two.
When Princess Minghe came, the men in the palace ran out to see her, which made the women in the same palace feel very unhappy. In contrast, the two who stayed in the palace and were not moved by Princess Minghe’s beauty naturally won their favor.
“These two classmates are both very pretty.”
“Not only pretty, but also good-looking. What’s so good about Princess Minghe? Those guys are like dogs seeing bones. They are more stable…”
“I like the one on the left. Don’t compete with me…”
“I like the one on the right. She is fair and clean. I wonder if she has a good family background…”
“Looking at his clothes and demeanor, he should be pretty good. What’s wrong? Are you aroused…”
…
When the girls get together, the topic is particularly open. If a shy person accidentally hears it, he will inevitably blush. However, Lin Xiu and Li Baizhang did not notice the gazes of the group of girls opposite.
Lin Xiu’s mind was full of thoughts, thinking about how to quietly obtain the power of thunder.
Li Baizhang regretted meeting Lin Xiu too late and wanted to make him his life confidant. The more they talked, the more he admired Lin Xiu, especially his appreciation of women and his frequent lofty words.
His intuition told him that this person was a kindred spirit.
Although it was their first meeting, the two seemed to have known each other for a long time. They chatted in the hall as if no one was around. At one point, someone walked in from outside, and there was another uproar in the hall.
“Miss Lingyin, it’s Miss Lingyin!”
“Today I actually met Princess Minghe and Miss Lingyin at the same time, it was worth it…”
“She’s coming, she’s coming, she’s walking here…”
Zhao Lingyin walked in from outside the palace, causing quite a stir, but she turned a deaf ear to it and walked straight to Lin Xiu, whispering, “Why are you here so early?”
Lin Xiu said, “Anyway, there’s nothing to do, so I came early.”
As soon as Lin Xiu finished speaking, there was another uproar in the palace, and then he saw a fiery red figure stepping into the palace from outside.
Princess Minghe was still wearing a red dress. After she walked into the palace, she looked around and found that there were people everywhere, and almost all the men looked at her with expectant eyes.
Princess Minghe finally chose a direction and strode over. Seeing her standing next to her, Lin Xiu could only bite the bullet and said, “Meetings, Princess.”
Princess Minghe just glanced at him, her eyes lingered on Zhao Lingyin, then glanced at Li Baizhang, and looked ahead with a calm expression.
Lin Xiu couldn’t understand why she chose this place when there were so many places in the palace. Now, Lingyin and Princess Minghe immediately attracted the attention of most people in the palace.
The two of them were silent again, making the atmosphere around them very awkward.
Lin Xiu could only take the initiative to break the silence and asked Li Baizhang: “Brother Li, where were we just talking about?”
Li Baizhang thought for a while and said: “Just now, we said that Miss Wan’er is the most beautiful in this hall, and the second most beautiful person is someone…”
This is indeed the topic they discussed just now.
What can two grown men discuss together? Lin Xiu and Li Baizhang have similar tastes, and the topic is naturally the female classmates in the hall. They both agree that Qin Wan’er is undoubtedly the first in terms of temperament, appearance, and figure…
But that was just now.
Now Lingyin is next to him. Discussing this topic in front of her is not a dead end?
Lin Xiu’s eyelids twitched, then blinked at Li Baizhang and smiled: “Did we discuss this topic just now?”
Li Baizhang asked in confusion: “No, didn’t Brother Lin say that besides Miss Wan’er, Xue Ning’er should be the most beautiful here…”
Lin Xiu keenly noticed that the temperature around him had dropped.
Li Baizhang was totally unaware and continued, “Brother Lin and I have the same opinion. Apart from Miss Wan’er, Miss Ning’er’s appearance, figure, and temperament are all outstanding. I wonder which of the many qualities of a woman is the most important, Brother Lin…”
Princess Minghe finally couldn’t listen any more. She looked at Lin Xiu and Li Baizhang with disgust and said coldly, “In the eyes of you men, do women have anything else besides appearance and figure?”
“Soul.”
“Soul.”
…
Lin Xiu and Li Baizhang said in unison, then smiled at each other. At this moment, the eyes of the two were also extremely clear.
Li Baizhang looked at Princess Minghe and said deeply, “A woman’s appearance and figure are important, but the most important thing is the soul…”
Princess Minghe didn’t know what to say. After glaring at the two, she didn’t say anything else.
Zhao Lingyin was slightly surprised, because this person and Lin Xiu said exactly the same thing before. Did they really think so?
Soon, a bell rang outside, and the students of Chongwen Hall lined up in an orderly manner and stood up straight.
A white-haired old man walked in from outside and stood on a high platform in front of the hall.
When Lin Xiu first entered the hospital, he had seen this old man and knew that he was the dean of the Yishu Academy.
Every time the school opened, the dean would gather all the students and give a speech here. The content of the speech was nothing more than those in the school rules, telling the freshmen what they could and could not do, and then expressing their expectations for their future. Until an hour passed, Lin Xiu was already drowsy, and today’s ceremony finally ended…
The students left the Chongwen Hall in an orderly manner. When Qin Wan’er walked past them, Li Baizhang’s eyes followed her figure and disappeared outside the hall.
Lin Xiu wanted to see, but didn’t dare to, because Lingyin was beside him.
Even so, Zhao Lingyin seemed to see through his inner thoughts. After the two left the hall, she looked at Lin Xiu very seriously and said, “That woman is very dangerous. You’d better stay away from her.”
Lin Xiu nodded and said, “I know.”
Of course, he would not doubt Lingyin.
When she spoke to him with such a serious expression, it meant that Lin Xiu also needed to be serious.
She said that woman is dangerous, so that woman must be dangerous.
He smiled at Zhao Lingyin and said, “Don’t worry, I will do what I promised you. Before the engagement is cancelled, I will keep my virginity and not give any woman a chance to take advantage of me…”
At the same time, he also became a little curious. What kind of ability does this woman who can be defined as dangerous by Lingyin have? What is
dangerous about her? He can experience it if he has the chance…
