Young Master, Don't Show Off - Chapter 7
[Chapter 7: Parents in Another World]
In the room with the doors and windows closed, Lin Xiu was only wearing a shirt, and there was a trace of cold air around his body.
The cold air emanated from Zhao Lingyin’s body, causing the temperature in the room to drop sharply, making Lin Xiu feel very comfortable. At first, he thought Zhao Lingyin was going to do something bad to him, but now he knew that she was creating an environment for him to practice. If he
wanted to awaken the ice art for the second time, he had to stay in an extremely cold environment for a long time to stimulate his body’s potential, but now it was the hottest time of summer, and Lin Xiu couldn’t find an extremely cold environment at all.
Unless someone who had awakened the same ability created one for him artificially.
The future sister-in-law really paid a lot for him.
Lin Xiu stopped thinking about it and concentrated on feeling the changes in his body.
He couldn’t think about it anymore, because the temperature in the room had dropped to a very low level at this time, so low that Lin Xiu couldn’t stand it. He had to use all his strength to operate the power in his body to resist the cold environment outside.
In this process, Lin Xiu could feel that the power surging in his body was slowly growing.
Although the growth is very slow and almost undetectable, it is indeed increasing.
People call this kind of power “Yuanli”. Yuanli is the basis for performing strange arts. Any strange arts must be performed through Yuanli. When Yuanli grows to a certain extent, it will cause a qualitative change, causing the strange arts to awaken again.
An hour later, two figures walked out of the room.
Zhao Lingyin’s face was a little pale. The long-term use of abilities consumes a lot of Yuanli.
Lin Xiu’s steps were weak, and the cold environment made his physical strength drain rapidly. Zhao Lingyin has been continuously lowering the temperature, and Lin Xiu has been tossed by her without any strength.
But the benefits are also obvious. With her help, Lin Xiu’s Yuanli in his body has increased significantly. Just now, he tried it, and he could condense a thin layer of ice on his hands out of thin air. Although this is the limit of Lin Xiu’s current ability, it is far from the limit of this ability.
According to historical records, if you practice the ice art to the extreme, you can freeze mountains, rivers, and lakes with a wave of your hand, and freeze an entire city. It is rumored that there is a strong man in the Great Xia Army who has awakened this art six times.
In the Daluo Dynasty in the north, there is a legendary existence who has awakened this ability seven times and has the strength of the heavenly rank.
The climate of the Daluo Dynasty is different from that of the Great Xia Dynasty. The winters in most areas there are long and cold. Some extreme areas are even covered with ice and snow all year round, which is most suitable for people with abilities like Lin Xiu and Zhao Lingyin to practice.
According to the number of times the art is awakened, people divide the strength of the ability users into nine levels.
From the lower realm of the yellow rank, the upper realm of the yellow rank, the lower realm of the mysterious rank…, to the lower realm of the heavenly rank, the upper realm of the heavenly rank, and the supreme realm that only exists in legends, corresponding to the first awakening, the second awakening, and the ninth awakening of the art.
Zhao Lingyin has awakened four times, and her strength has reached the upper realm of the Xuan level. This is already a genius among geniuses, and her sister, who is the daughter of heaven, seems to have awakened five times. At the age of less than 20, her ability has awakened five times – Lin Xiu himself feels that he is not worthy of her.
Thinking of his fiancée, Lin Xiu’s heart arose a little curiosity, and asked: “Lingyin, what ability did your sister awaken?”
Regarding this matter, Zhao Lingyin did not say much, and said lightly: “You will know in the future.”
Lin Xiu wanted to cancel the engagement and galloped on his horse, but it was impossible to have it in the future. He was just curious for a while, curious about the fiancée he had never met.
Twenty years ago, the Zhao family and the Lin family were both powerful and noble families that were about to decline, but after the Zhao family gave birth to the girl and awakened her ability, Zhao Lingyin’s father, Lin Xiu’s nominal father-in-law, went from a third-class earl to a first-class marquis in one fell swoop, all because he gave birth to a daughter.
How special is that Zhao’s legitimate daughter to bring so much glory to the Zhao family?
Curious, but Lin Xiu also knew that these things had nothing to do with him. When the engagement was cancelled, they would have nothing to do with each other.
In the yard, Sun Dali watched Lin Xiu and Zhao Lingyin walk out of the room, and both of them looked very tired, and he couldn’t help but widen his eyes.
However, he then looked up at the sky, turned around as if nothing had happened, and ran away.
Sun Dali ran away, and Zhao Lingyin also left the Lin Mansion.
Lin Xiu walked to the corner of the yard, where Sun Dali usually honed his strength, and easily lifted a small stone lock.
It seems that with the increase of his internal energy, his strength has also increased slightly.
In other words, the energy cultivated by different cultivation methods is essentially the same. As long as the energy increases, all the abilities of the supernatural powers can go hand in hand.
In this way, it means that he has one more way to practice. Even without Lingyin’s help, he doesn’t have to wait until winter to practice. If Lin Xiu can obtain other supernatural powers, his path of practice will be wider and broader.
This is a road that no one has ever walked on, and it is also the only way for Lin Xiu to catch up with those geniuses.
At this moment, Lin Xiu’s physical strength has been drained by Zhao Lingyin. He leaned on the stone bench in the yard and slowly recovered.
Not long after, Sun Dali slipped in from outside. He looked around and asked, “Where is the second young lady?”
Lin Xiu said weakly, “She went home.”
Sun Dali then ran to Lin Xiu, pursed his lips, and asked in disbelief, “Master, do you want to get both sisters?” “
Bah!” Lin Xiu stood up from the bench and said, “I can’t spit out ivory from a dog’s mouth. Is your master that kind of person?”
He and Lingyin stayed in the room for a long time just now. This dog must have misunderstood. Lin Xiu said, “Lingyin was helping me practice just now.”
Sun Dali showed a silly smile on his face and winked at Lin Xiu: “I understand, I understand…”
Then he asked again, “Master, is it the second young lady you like?”
Lin Xiu did like Zhao Lingyin, but not the kind of love that Sun Dali understood.
It’s a bit sad to say. In two lifetimes combined, there has never been another person who treats Lin Xiu as well as she does. She helped him enter the Academy of Strange Arts, spent her energy and delayed her time to help him practice, all because of the engagement between her and her sister.
Who wouldn’t like such a girl?
Moreover, she was so pretty and had such a good figure…
Seeing that Lin Xiu didn’t admit it, Sun Dali thought that he had acquiesced. He thought about it and offered advice: “In fact, if you really like the second young lady, it’s not impossible. When the engagement was first made, it didn’t say that you must marry the eldest young lady. Anyway, they are all daughters of the Zhao family. It doesn’t matter who you marry…”
“Get lost…”
Lin Xiu waved his hand and asked Sun Dali to get away. He didn’t think about getting married at all, so he wouldn’t marry anyone. But then again, if he really married Lingyin…
Thinking of the beating, he quickly drove this terrible idea out of his mind.
If he really married Lingyin, then he might only have the position of a younger brother in the family in the future…
Lin Xiu continued to imagine such a scene, and actually felt a little happy. Although his family status was a little low, he still had a home. The word “home” was already very unfamiliar to him.
After thinking about it for a while, Lin Xiu shook her head in self-mockery and planned to go back to her room to rest. At this time, there was a chaotic sound of footsteps outside the courtyard, and soon two figures hurried in from outside.
A beautiful woman who ran in front, just walked in, took Lin Xiu’s hand, her face full of worry, and asked while looking up and down at Lin Xiu, “Xiu’er, where are you hurt?”
A middle-aged man who walked out behind her, after seeing Lin Xiu standing in the courtyard well, the tension on his face disappeared a little.
Lin Xiu looked at the man and woman with a puzzled expression and asked, “Who are you…”
The middle-aged man’s face changed slightly when he heard the words, and the woman looked at Lin Xiu with an unbelievable face. At this time, there was a “thump”, and Sun Dali suddenly knelt in front of the two, and said with a guilty face: “I’m sorry, master and wife, I didn’t protect the young master well!”
…
A moment later, at the Ping’an Marquis’s Mansion.
“You said, the young master was knocked unconscious by the meteorite, and then lost his memory?”
“He also awakened a special skill?”
“The ice special skill of the heavenly level?”
The middle-aged man and the beautiful woman who had hurried back to the capital after receiving the news not long ago were shocked, staring at Lin Xiu.
After just a few days away, so many changes happened in the family.
First, his son almost died in the meteorite, and after waking up, he lost all his memories. Then, he who had not shown any talent for special skills for 18 years actually awakened the ice special skill. The couple of the Earl of Ping’an didn’t know whether to be happy or sad.
In the end, the woman wiped her tears, held Lin Xiu’s hand tightly and said, “It doesn’t matter whether he has awakened a special skill or not, as long as he is fine…”
Lin Xiu felt very embarrassed. Of course, he knew at this moment that the couple in front of him were the couple of the Earl of Ping’an who hurried back to the capital after learning that their son was in trouble.
They were the parents of another Lin Xiu, but not his parents.
Although Lin Xiu felt an inexplicable closeness to the Earl of Ping’an, he couldn’t feel at ease calling two strangers his father and mother. He hurriedly left home on the pretext that he had something else to do.
On the streets of the capital, Sun Dali followed Lin Xiu and asked curiously, “Master, you haven’t been to the government office many times. Why do you suddenly want to go there today?”
Lin Xiu said, “That’s why I want to go because I don’t go there often. This job is not easy to come by. What if I lose my job? What should I do in the future?”
Sun Dali nodded and agreed, “That’s true…”
He looked at Lin Xiu with curiosity, and always felt that the young master seemed to have become more sensible after losing his memory.
The master spent a lot of effort and paid a great price to help the young master get the identity of a clerk in the Qingli Division.
After all, the master and the lady can’t protect the young master for a lifetime.
Daxia has only three grades and nine ranks of nobility, from the highest first-class duke to the lowest third-class earl. The master’s title is only the third-class Ping’an earl. After the master passed away, the young master’s identity was just a civilian.
In order for the young master to live a better life in the future, the master didn’t know how many connections he had to make and how much money he spent to help him arrange a clerk’s identity in the Qingli Division.
The clerk of the Qinglisi was only responsible for recording and sorting files. He was in the yamen all day long. There was no danger. It was a job that could be done for a lifetime.
But the young master was lazy. He only went there for a few days at the beginning, and then he felt that the job of the clerk was boring and never went there again.
Fortunately, the person in charge of the case library had some friendship with the master, so he turned a blind eye to the young master’s affairs. Otherwise, he would have lost this job that he had finally got. Although
Lin Xiu was at home these days, he was not idle. He used the excuse of amnesia to ask Sun Dali a lot of Lin Xiu’s personal information.
Including his interpersonal relationships, places he often went to, some living habits, etc.
It was at that time that he learned that because the title of Ping’an Bo could not be inherited, his family left a way out for Lin Xiu, that is, the clerk of the Qinglisi. This position was not dangerous. He just had to sit in the case library every day and sort out the files. The clerk of the Qinglisi was paid by the state. Even if the Lin family was completely ruined, he would not starve to death.
I don’t know how much thought the Earl of Ping’an and his wife put into their mediocre son, which made Lin Xiu a little envious. He had never had these things before…
Finally signed the contract, please give me some recommendation votes and monthly votes…
