Young Master, Don't Show Off - Chapter 85
[Chapter 85 Kiss]
Flying is really a good ability.
If Lin Xiu could fly like Xue Ning’er, when he encountered an assassin, he would just fly to the sky. Except for assassins who are good at archery, most people are helpless in the face of this ability and can only watch.
Of course, it is not only the ability to fly that can fly.
As far as Lin Xiu knows, after awakening the ice art four times, a pair of ice wings can be transformed behind him. Princess Minghe’s ability can also use flames to transform wings and fly. There are also some abilities to control objects, which can also be used to fly indirectly with the help of certain objects.
Speaking of which, the ability of animal language can also fly.
As long as there are huge birds of prey around that can hold up humans, Lin Xiu can order them to fly with him, but all the methods are not as convenient and fast as Xue Ning’er’s ability.
What’s more, Xue Ning’er’s flying ability can evolve. After the fifth awakening, the ability itself will undergo earth-shaking changes.
When she came back, Xue Ning’er remembered Lin Xiu’s instructions and did not fly very fast. It took more than a quarter of an hour before she slowly landed at the door of Xue’s house.
After landing, Lin Xiu let go of her hand. Xue Ning’er looked at him and said, “Thank you for today.”
Lin Xiu smiled and said, “You’re welcome. I told you that we are friends.”
Xue Ning’er whispered, “I, I’m going home…”
Lin Xiu nodded and said, “I’m going home too.”
He couldn’t wait to experience his new ability.
Xue Ning’er turned around and walked a few steps, then suddenly turned around and said, “I, I have something important to tell you.”
Lin Xiu walked over and asked, “What is it?”
“Come closer, this matter cannot be known by others.” Xue Ning’er stood on tiptoe, as if she wanted to whisper to Lin Xiu. Lin Xiu leaned over and didn’t hear what Xue Ning’er said, but he felt a soft touch on his face.
By the time he realized it, Xue Ning’er had turned around and ran into the Xue Mansion.
Lin Xiu stood there in a daze – Xue Ning’er kissed him!
The warmth of Xue Ning’er’s kiss still remained on his face. Lin Xiu was indeed surprised by Xue Ning’er. Was she willing to spend so much money to make Zhao Lingjun look bad?
Zhao Lingjun, Zhao Lingjun, she probably didn’t know that she was so hated…
But for Lin Xiu, being kissed was just being kissed. It was no big deal. It wasn’t him who suffered. Xue Ning’er’s ability was already in hand, and he didn’t have to spend time on her anymore.
After getting the girl’s precious things, he withdrew. Although it sounds a bit scumbag to do so, who let her scum herself first?
Scumming others is really scumbag, scumming Xue Ning’er, Lin Xiu is justified and scumbag. Scumbag.
After so long of planning and hard work, it finally paid off. Lin Xiu was in a good mood, identified the direction, and walked towards his home.
Of course, before leaving, Lin Xiu had wiped the side of his face that was kissed by Xue Ning’er. He would not make such a low-level mistake.
Speaking of which, the road in front of Xue’s mansion seemed familiar to Lin Xiu no matter how he looked at it, especially the house in front of Xue’s mansion. Lin Xiu was even more familiar with the stone lions at the door, as if he had seen it somewhere before.
Oh, he had indeed seen this pair of stone lions. Aren’t they the pair of stone lions in front of Lingyin’s house?
Even the doorman of the Zhao Mansion recognized Lin Xiu. He greeted him enthusiastically, and then shouted to the inside of the mansion: “Second Miss, your son-in-law is here…”
Lin Xiu hurriedly said: “No, no, I’m just passing by, passing by…”
But soon, a figure in white flashed out of the Zhao Mansion. Zhao Lingyin walked up to Lin Xiu and asked: “Why are you here?”
Lin Xiu felt a little guilty and immediately said: “I’m just passing by.”
“Passing by, what are you doing that would make you pass by here?” Zhao Lingyin didn’t believe it at all. She looked at Lin Xiu carefully, her eyes suddenly focused on the right side of his face, and asked: “Why is your face so red?”
Lin Xiu was stunned and explained: “Uh, it may be the strong wind…”
Zhao Lingyin asked again: “Then why is only half of it red?”
…
Zhao Lingyin was like an experienced secret detective. She asked Lin Xiu speechless with just two sentences.
She stared at Lin Xiu’s face, and seemed to realize something. She suddenly stretched out her hand, kissed her palm lightly, then put her palm on the left side of Lin Xiu’s face and pressed it hard.
When her hand left, there was a faint lip print on Lin Xiu’s face.
Lin Xiu was surprised and said, “Lingyin, what are you doing?”
Zhao Lingyin did not answer him, but wiped the lip print on the left side of Lin Xiu’s face with the back of her hand, and then… Then both sides of Lin Xiu’s face were equally red.
Zhao Lingyin’s face darkened and asked, “Who did it?”
Before Lin Xiu said anything, she looked at another mansion not far away and gritted her teeth and said, “It was Xue Ning’er, Xue Ning’er kissed you!” With
such excellent intuition and insight, it would be a pity if she didn’t become a secret detective. Lin Xiu could only say, “It was Xue Ning’er, but Lingyin, don’t be impulsive. Things are not what you think…”
…
After a moment, Lin Xiu shrugged and said, “This is what happened.”
Zhao Lingyin sneered, “You saved her, and she kissed you to thank you. Do you believe this reason?”
Lin Xiu really had nothing to fear this time. He looked at Zhao Lingyin and said, “If you don’t believe it, you can go to the palace gate or ask at the Yishu Academy. Many people witnessed this incident. Of course, under normal circumstances, even if I saved Xue Ning’er, she wouldn’t express her gratitude by kissing me, but she had ill intentions towards me and wanted to use me to humiliate your sister. This should be part of her plan.”
Zhao Lingyin was stunned when she heard this, and then said in shock, “So you knew!”
Lin Xiu shrugged and said: “I knew it from the first day she approached me.”
Zhao Lingyin said angrily, “You knew she was still flirting with her. Do you know what others will say about your sister behind her back?”
Lin Xiu said, “She is allowed to use tricks on me, so can’t I just play along? Doesn’t she want me to like her and then reject me? Why don’t I let her like me first and then reject her?”
Zhao Lingyin was extremely surprised: “Have you always thought so?”
Lin Xiu looked at Zhao Lingyin and asked, “Am I really that stupid in your eyes?”
In Zhao Lingyin’s eyes, Lin Xiu was certainly not a stupid person. In other words, even Xue Ning’er didn’t know that Lin Xiu had seen through her thoughts a long time ago. She had always been treating her in her own way…
Zhao Lingyin looked at Lin Xiu with surprise and was silent for a long time before saying, “Xue Ning’er has countless suitors and the Xue family is also a third-class duke. It will not do you any good to provoke her. Let’s end this matter here. Don’t provoke her again…”
Lin Xiu nodded and said, “Okay.”
Zhao Lingyin said in surprise, “Are you willing to listen to me?” Lin Xiu
said, “What’s with that expression? You are my sister-in-law and you won’t hurt me. Why shouldn’t I listen to you?”
Zhao Lingyin glanced at him and said, “Did you listen to me when I told you not to mess around with other girls? Not to mention Xue Ning’er, but that actress in Lihuayuan and the female physician in the Imperial Hospital. You hang out with them every day while I’m away. Do you think I don’t know?”
Lin Xiu was shocked and asked, “Did you plant an undercover agent next to me!”
During the month when Lingyin was away, Lin Xiu was having a great time.
But how did she know?
Did Sun Dali betray him?
Or did Lingyin plant an undercover agent next to him?
Seeing his panic, Zhao Lingyin snorted coldly and said, “I was not sure at first, but looking at you now, it seems that I am right…”
“…”
Lin Xiu gradually realized that Lingyin was not as naive as she looked. She had deep tricks, and even he, who was experienced, would fall into the trap if he was not careful.
He laughed dryly and changed the subject, “By the way, Lingyin, my ability has been awakened for the third time. Can you teach me how to use my ability to condense into a weapon?”
“What?” Zhao Lingyin looked at Lin Xiu in surprise and asked, “How did you do it so fast!”
It has been less than four months since Lin Xiu awakened her ability. Awakening three times in four months is something that even her genius sister cannot do.
Lin Xiu sighed and said, “I spent one hundred thousand taels of silver. How could I not be happy?”
Zhao Lingyin then remembered something and asked, “You are the one who bought all the second-level Yuan Crystals in the royal capital?”
In the past two days, all the second-level Yuan Crystals in the major stores in the royal capital have been bought out, which has caused widespread discussion in the circle of dignitaries. They are also curious about who is so rich that he spent one hundred thousand taels of silver just to break through from the upper yellow level to the lower black level. There are many families in the royal capital with such financial resources, but not many can take out one hundred thousand taels of silver in cash to buy low-level Yuan Crystals.
Seeing that Lin Xiu did not deny it, she frowned and looked at Lin Xiu, saying: “Why are you in such a hurry? That’s 100,000 taels of silver. As long as you practice well with me, you can successfully advance without Yuanjing…”
Lin Xiu shook his head and said: “I can earn more money if I lose it. Your sister is so powerful, so of course I have to work harder. Otherwise, others will scold me for being a gigolo behind my back…” What
Lin Xiu said was not without reason. The faster he progressed in his cultivation, the happier Zhao Lingyin would be. Moreover, judging from the results of Lin Xiu’s cultivation in the past few months, his talent did not seem to be that bad. Although there was still a certain gap with those geniuses, this gap could be made up through diligence.
She looked at Lin Xiu and said earnestly: “Although your cultivation has improved very quickly, your understanding and application of abilities are far inferior to those who have practiced step by step by themselves. In the next few days, I will teach you some basic things. You must study hard…”
The practice of different arts is actually inseparable from the teachings of predecessors.
Having a teacher with the same ability as oneself and awakening more times than oneself can help you avoid many detours. Lingyin is Lin Xiu’s teacher in this regard.
The Yishu Academy, Tianziyuan, is a small courtyard belonging to Zhao Lingyin.
In the center of the courtyard, a wooden stake stood upright.
Zhao Lingyin glanced at Lin Xiu and said, “Watch carefully.” As
soon as she finished speaking, the lower half of the wooden stake was directly frozen. At the same time, Lingyin had condensed a long ice spear in her hand. She stabbed it out sharply, and the tip of the spear directly pierced through the wooden stake, and ice chips flew everywhere…
Lin Xiu was shocked when he saw it.
If the person standing there was not a wooden stake, but a person, then his heart would have been pierced.
Zhao Lingyin explained to Lin Xiu: “Your ability is still too weak to kill others instantly. If you encounter assassins again, you must first freeze them, restrict their movements, and then kill them with one strike.” Lin Xiu
is very familiar with this attack method. Isn’t it Wang Zhaojun’s skill? When Lin Xiu first started playing King of Glory, he also learned from Daji, Angela, and Wang Zhaojun. Hiding in the bushes and controlling people instantly is the essence of playing a mage… If
the damage is not enough, control can make up for it. In the early stage of fighting with ice magic, control is indeed the most important.
Zhao Lingyin pointed to another wooden stake and said to Lin Xiu: “Try it.”
Lin Xiu walked to the front and circulated his energy. The bottom of the wooden stake also began to spread rapidly, and Lin Xiu also condensed an ice spear in his hand. Although this spear was crooked, it looked like a spear.
He stabbed out with a spear, and the tip of the spear fell on the wooden stake. The wooden stake was not pierced, but just shook, and the spear condensed by Lin Xiu broke directly.
Zhao Lingyin walked to the wooden stake and said, “Your spear is not hard enough, nor straight enough. This is because your Yuanli is too weak and your control over Yuanli is insufficient. If the opponent is a warrior, they will break free from your restraints in an instant, just like this…”
She held the wooden stake in one hand and easily pulled it up from the ground. The ice layer at the bottom of the stake also broke apart.
Then, she walked to the one she had frozen and used the same force, but the stake did not move.
Lin Xiu could not solve this problem at present. Lingyin’s strength was stronger than his, and he certainly could not produce the same effect as her.
At this time, Zhao Lingyin encouraged Lin Xiu again: “However, this is your first time, and it is already very good to achieve this level. There is no shortcut to the next practice. You must be able to endure loneliness…”
After the third awakening, Lin Xiu’s krypton gold road ended here.
Even if he had money, he could not buy Yuanjing, but his actual situation was not as Lingyin said, there was no shortcut.
He now has nine abilities, and if you add his own copy, it will be ten. Although most of the abilities are difficult to improve directly, there are still freezing, thunder and strength. If
you practice the same power for a long time, you will soon encounter a bottleneck and need to rest for a period of time before you can continue. Even Lingyin can’t practice on the Xuanbing bed for too long.
But Lin Xiu has three abilities to use.
Three abilities, three times the speed, three times the happiness.
If nothing unexpected happens, Lin Xiu can copy three more abilities before the next awakening.
However, he must choose these three abilities very carefully. He can’t fall in love with one by one. It’s best to copy three heaven-level abilities. If there is no heaven-level, the earth-level will do.
In a sense, the more heaven-level and earth-level abilities he has, the faster he will practice.
The more times others awaken, the slower they practice. Lin Xiu is just the opposite. This also makes him full of confidence in his future. When his strength reaches a certain level, he can surpass any family or even the country.
At that time, things like destiny will be truly in his own hands.
Half an hour later, Zhao Lingyin and Lin Xiu walked out of the Yishu Academy. She remembered something and asked Lin Xiu, “You offended Song Yuzhi because of Xue Ning’er. That woman is not easy to mess with. If she makes trouble for you, tell me.” Lin Xiu
saw that Song Yuzhi was indeed not easy to mess with.
As a woman from a duke’s family, she did not have the temperament of a lady from a noble family. She openly quarreled with another duke’s daughter at the palace gate and wanted to beat people. She was simply a shrew.
Lin Xiu learned from Lingyin that Song Yuzhi was originally a weirdo in the circle of socialites in the royal capital, and the name of a shrew has a long history.
Speaking of which, she is also a bit pitiful.
She was born in a noble family and reached the right age to get married. She should have talked about marriage a long time ago.
But as a woman, she had no appearance and no figure. These were not a big deal. After all, the most important thing for a girl was her soul, but she didn’t even have a soul. She had nothing… No one
from the dukes and marquises who were well-matched looked down on her. After all, those who were qualified to marry into the Song family were also from famous families. How could the young men who grew up in luxury be willing to let themselves suffer this grievance?
Only those who were not well-matched would put down their dignity in order to climb up to the high family, but the Song family looked down on such people…
So Song Yuzhi was in an awkward situation. This time, she finally found a man who was well-matched and she liked, and they were about to talk about marriage, but the man turned around and threw himself into Xue Ning’er’s pomegranate skirt. No wonder she was so angry. No one could tolerate such a thing…
Besides, Xue Ning’er was not completely innocent.
If she could be as clean as Lingyin and Princess Minghe, not attracting bees and butterflies, and not hanging around others, there would naturally not be so many men around her, and she would not attract Song Yuzhi’s suitors, and there would be no today’s incident…
Green tea is a mistake in the first place.
After returning to the Lin Mansion, Lin Xiu came to the room alone and closed the door.
Without seeing him make any movements, he floated up in the air and hovered in the void…
