Young Master, Don't Show Off - Chapter 234

[Chapter 234 The Correct Way to Practice Dual Cultivation]

Cultivation, Zhaiyue Tower.

When Lin Xiu came here just now, he went to Hongniju to bring a jar of wine. This kind of wine is specially supplied and not sold to the public. When he went to Zhao Mansion and Xue Mansion, he would give this kind of wine to his father-in-law and Old Duke Xue.

Murong Yu opened the wine seal and poured only a small cup, then closed her eyes, brought the wine glass closer, and gently sniffed the aroma of the wine.

She first showed an intoxicated look on her face, and then a little angry, and said: “Those damn profiteers in Jiangnan, the wine they sold to me was all diluted with water!”

Then, she looked at Lin Xiu and said, “Tell me, what do you want from me?”

She didn’t think Lin Xiu wanted to pursue her.

He already had a wife like Zhao Lingjun, and other women in the world, in his eyes, were probably mediocre women.

But she couldn’t figure it out. The two had never met before and had no intersection. What on earth did he want to find her for?

Lin Xiu said, “I want to ask about the Imperial Concubine.”

Murong Yu didn’t know why there were always people interested in her aunt’s affairs. Last time in Jiangnan, someone broke into the Murong family just to ask for her aunt’s name.

She looked at Lin Xiu and said, “I’m sorry, I have nothing to say.”

Then she stood up and prepared to leave.

Before leaving, she glanced at the jar of wine and asked, “Can I take this jar of wine with me?”

Lin Xiu explained, “Don’t get me wrong, I have no ill will towards the Imperial Concubine. The reason I asked you about this is just to treat the Imperial Concubine’s illness.”

Murong Yu paused and said, “I can’t believe you based on your one-sided statement.”

Lin Xiu took out a jade card from her arms and handed it to her, saying, “In this way, you can always believe me, right?”

Murong Yu took the jade card. As a member of the Murong family, she certainly knew that this was her aunt’s identity jade card.

She also had a similar jade card.

But why was her aunt’s jade card in his hand?

She looked at Lin Xiu and asked, “Where did you get this jade token?”

Lin Xiu said, “The Imperial Concubine gave it to me. When I went to Jiangnan last time, the Imperial Concubine said that if I encountered difficulties that I couldn’t solve, I should ask the Murong family for help.”

Murong Yu’s pretty face showed surprise.

She knew very well that her aunt had never forgiven the Murong family over the years, and she didn’t think she was a member of the Murong family, but she actually gave her identity jade token to someone else and asked him to ask the Murong family for help…

She must care about this person very much.

For him, she even didn’t hesitate to get involved with the Murong family again.

Who is he to her aunt?

After a moment of silence, Murong Yu returned the jade token to Lin Xiu and asked, “What happened to my aunt?”

Lin Xiu said, “Over the years, the imperial concubine has been suffering from depression. In recent days, her symptoms have become more serious. She often suffers from anorexia and insomnia. Two days ago, His Majesty even allowed her to leave the palace to recuperate…”

Murong Yu sighed and said, “After so many years, my aunt still hasn’t forgiven the Murong family.”

Lin Xiu said, “So, I want to ask you about the details of what happened back then.”

Murong Yu said, “When my aunt left the Murong family, I was only one year old. I only heard about what happened back then, and I don’t know much more than you know.”

Then, she told Lin Xiu everything she knew.

What Murong Yu said was no different from what Shuangshuang told Lin Xiu.

Back then, the Murong family was forced by the Zhang family to succumb to the Zhang family’s tyranny. The imperial concubine was forced into the palace and broke with her family from then on. For seventeen years, she has never returned to Jiangnan.

Lin Xiu said, “I think you should go see the Imperial Concubine. Maybe that will make her feel better.”

Murong Yu said regretfully, “Aunt doesn’t want to see anyone from the Murong family. Seeing me will make her feel worse.”

Lin Xiu said, “I know the Imperial Concubine. She won’t…”

Murong Yu was silent for a moment and said, “I’ll go with you.”

Then she looked at Lin Xiu again and asked, “I have another question. How do you know I like to drink?”

Lin Xiu said, “I’ve been to Jiangnan Prefecture City. Because of the Imperial Concubine’s matter, I investigated the Murong family. It’s no secret to me that Miss Murong likes to drink.”

Murong Yu glanced at him and didn’t ask any more questions.

Wangdu, South City.

The Imperial Concubine sat on the swing, swinging from time to time. She wanted to get up early today to watch Lin Xiu’s competition, but she slept very well yesterday and got up very late in the morning.

When she got from South City to West City, his competition had already ended.

Last night should have been the most comfortable and peaceful sleep she had had in all these years.

After escaping from that deep prison, she seemed to be reborn.

The swing swayed slightly, she held her spirit pet in her arms, a bird on her shoulder, humming some kind of brisk Jiangnan tune, and saw Lin Xiu coming in from outside. Behind

him, there was a girl.

A girl she didn’t know.

The imperial concubine sighed in her heart, Lin Xiu was good in every way, except that he was too philanthropic like his brother, and there was always a lack of all kinds of women around him.

For some reason, she fell in love with this girl at first sight.

She seemed to see herself in her teenage years.

She got off the swing and asked, “Whose family is this girl?”

Lin Xiu said, “Madam, her name is Murong Yu, from the Murong family in Jiangnan.”

Murong Yu walked forward, looked at this strange yet familiar woman, and whispered, “Murong Yu greets aunt.”

The imperial concubine looked at her, her expression slightly startled, and countless thoughts that had been buried in her heart for a long time emerged.

To this day, she actually doesn’t have much resentment towards the Murong family, because she knows that they were powerless to resist anything in that incident.

But she can’t treat it as her home like before.

The moment she left the Murong Mansion, she had no home.

She thought she didn’t want to see anyone from the Murong Mansion again.

But when the girl in front of her stood in front of her, she still had some strange feelings in her heart.

A feeling of blood connection.

She reached out her hand, gently touched the girl’s face, and said softly: “At that time, you were still in your cradle, and in the blink of an eye, you have grown up so big…”

Murong Yu said embarrassedly: “It has been seventeen years.”

The imperial concubine sighed: “Seventeen years have passed, and the little Yu’er back then has grown into a big girl.”

She held Murong Yu’s hand and said: “Come in, let your aunt take a good look at you…”

Lin Xiu breathed a sigh of relief.

Although Murong Yu is a relative of the imperial concubine, she does not know the imperial concubine

as well as he does. When the imperial concubine saw her, she was not unhappy, but let her stay in the other courtyard, and took out her previously treasured jewelry for her to choose. She

is really worthy of being her aunt. Lin Xiu has never seen her treat anyone so well before.

They talked in the room, and a smile appeared on the corner of Lin Xiu’s mouth, and then she left silently.

The last time he saw the little girl from the Murong family, Lin Xiu felt that she was a good person, with a straightforward and kind personality. In fact, she was somewhat similar to the Imperial Concubine. Her existence could just fill the gap in the Imperial Concubine’s heart.

It would be best if she could always be with the Imperial Concubine.

Moreover, with her talent, it would actually be more beneficial for her to stay in the capital and join the Academy of Extraordinary Arts for her practice.

For the Imperial Concubine, he really worried about her.

Today’s competition has ended. After returning to the wedding residence, Lin Xiu and Caiyi continued to study the changes in the copying ability.

After several hours of exploration, Lin Xiu made a new discovery.

The role of this ability is not just to bestow.

He can bestow abilities, and he can also deprive abilities.

Of course, what he deprives is limited to the abilities he bestows.

Specifically, through physical touch, he can take back the power skills bestowed on Caiyi, but he cannot deprive her of the sound skills.

This discovery means that anyone who Lin Xiu gives abilities to will not pose any threat to him.

Because the abilities he bestows on them can be taken back at any time.

When Caiyi lost her power ability, Lin Xiu could copy her new abilities through close contact.

It was just that this process was a bit tiring. The process of copying, depriving, and copying again consumed a lot of his energy. It was not the consumption of his energy, but a kind of fatigue that could not be described.

After repeated consideration, Lin Xiu replaced her with Lingyin’s ability.

First of all, it was a bit strange that a girl who looked delicate was actually very powerful. For Caiyi, she did not need this ability.

Another important reason was that compared with the ice ability, the power ability was not only slow to practice, but also difficult to practice. You couldn’t let her lift the stone lock in the room every day, right?

If it was ice, she didn’t have to spend time practicing deliberately. Lin Xiu could just take some time to help her every night, just like Lingyin helped him before.

In addition, Lin Xiu had a special discovery.

When Caiyi had the ice ability, at certain special times, the ice power in her body and the fire power in Lin Xiu’s body would undergo some changes, which actually had the effect of direct practice.

This seems to be the correct way to practice dual cultivation. Compared with the incomplete dual cultivation with Princess Minghe, the Yuanli can grow faster.

It is fast, but it has great limitations.

No one can practice in this way except husband and wife.

Lin Xiu has no way to tell Princess Minghe. First, he can’t explain how he found out. Second, Princess Minghe might think he is hinting that she should repay the debt with her body.

He can’t tarnish the pure friendship between them.

There are not many girls who have pure friendship with him.

The update rhythm is messed up again. The second update will be in the evening.
