Young Master, Don't Show Off - Chapter 249

[Chapter 249: The Immortal Couple]

The first fight with Zhao Lingjun ended with Lin Xiu’s defeat.

Lin Xiu thought that even if he was not Zhao Lingjun’s opponent, he should be able to see the gap between him and her. The fact is that he couldn’t even see the gap clearly. No matter

how many abilities one has, it is impossible to make up for the gap in realm. The stronger the strength, the more difficult it is to cross the border and defeat the enemy.

Fortunately, he has plenty of time.

Zhao Lingjun rarely admitted her previous mistakes to Lin Xiu, and Lin Xiu also revealed her true thoughts to her, which eased their relationship a little.

At least when he was with her, it was not as awkward as before.

The relationship between the two is not husband and wife, nor is it friends. Lin Xiu couldn’t think of any words to summarize it.

Perhaps, she is a wingman given to him by God?

After all, when it comes to stabilizing the harem, no one can do better than her.

Lingyin walked in from outside and saw the two people in the yard. She said, “You are so willful. So many people are watching you, but you just leave…”

Lin Xiu asked, “What happened next?”

Zhao Lingyin rolled her eyes at him and said, “You left. His Majesty has to announce that this game is a draw. You two are tied for first place in the competition.”

In fact, the two people had already competed in private. Lin Xiu used all his strength but couldn’t touch Zhao Lingjun’s body.

This first place was given to him by Zhao Lingjun. Lin Xiu didn’t deserve the title and was just eating her gigolo.

Not long after Lingyin came back, Caiyi and the others also came back. Today, everyone went to watch their competition, but they were stood up by Lin Xiu and Zhao Lingjun.

After the competition, many people poured into the streets of the capital.

Most of the people did not have the spare money to watch the competition, so they could only get information from others.

“How was it, who won?”

“I didn’t know before that her husband was so good.”

“I also want to go to the scene to watch, but unfortunately I don’t have money…”

“What, there was no fight, the two eloped on the spot?”

“Fortunately I didn’t go to watch, otherwise the money would have been wasted…”

…

The competition between the couple was the focus of everyone’s attention. Many people bought tickets just to watch them. Those who wanted to watch didn’t see it, and they naturally felt a little regretful.

However, it is understandable that the young couple who have been married for only half a year don’t want to destroy the harmony of the family.

If Zhao Lingjun won, how would Lin Xiu, as her husband, feel?

If Lin Xiu won and made Miss Zhao angry and didn’t let him go to bed at night, wouldn’t he win the competition and lose something more important?

If they were Lin Xiu, I’m afraid they would make the same choice.

This incident soon became a good story among the people.

Of course, in addition to this couple, there were some people who had very outstanding performances in this small competition.

Wuji, Nanzhao, Nanyue, and the Western Regions are small countries with insufficient resources, but with the whole country’s strength, they can also cultivate a genius of the Earth Rank. Among other countries, the most outstanding one is Chiba Lin of Fusang. Daxia’s

national strength is countless times that of Fusang, but only Lin Xiu and his wife can surpass her.

She is young, has extraordinary talent, and outstanding appearance. Many people even joked privately that if someone could marry her to Daxia, her merits would be enough to be conferred a title.

In addition, the geniuses of Daxia also emerged like mushrooms after rain in this small competition.

There is no need to say more about Lin Xiu. He defeated many geniuses who have been famous for a long time from the top powerful families and overwhelmed Fusang Tianjiao. His true strength is still a mystery. As soon

as the small competition ended, His Majesty issued an edict to confer the title of Ping’an Hou Lin Ting, Lin Xiu’s father, as the second-class Ping’an Hou.

In less than a year and a half, Lin Ting’s title was promoted four times, from the third-class earl to the second-class marquis. Even Zhao Lingjun’s father was not promoted so quickly.

This means that another top-level noble family in the capital is rising.

I don’t know how many small nobles who are about to decline are envious and jealous.

In addition to Lin Xiu, in the competitions, Qin Wan, Zhao Lingyin, Princess Minghe, Li Baizhang, Murong Yu, these names are also familiar to ordinary people. In the

Jian’an Earl’s Mansion, the Jian’an Earl and his wife are full of regret.

The woman regretted, “That little…, she is so powerful. If she is still in the Qin family, would His Majesty raise the master’s title by one level, or even two levels…”

Earl Jian’an frowned and said, “What’s the use of saying this now? It was you who forced Wan’er away. I was blind to marry you!”

The woman put her hands on her hips and cursed, “How dare you blame me? Didn’t you agree when she was sold?”

“If she wasn’t your son, would I agree?”

“Why, my son is not your son?”

…

Compared with the atmosphere of Earl Jian’an’s Mansion, Lin Xiu and Zhao Lingjun’s wedding residence was full of laughter.

Soon after the competition ended and Emperor Xia returned to the palace, the imperial edict arrived at the Lin Mansion.

Ping’an Hou’s title was promoted to a higher level. Wu’an Hou played chess with him and said, “Brother Lin has given birth to a good son. If this continues, you will be granted the title of Duke in the future…”

Lin Ting also smiled and said, “Brother Zhao has also given birth to two good daughters. I am afraid that in a few years, I will also call you Wu’an Hou.”

The two marquises were flattering each other, and the two wives were sitting in the pavilion, watching them with a smile.

Zhou Yun smiled and said, “Look at how proud they are. It’s all because of Xiu’er and Lingjun that they can have what they have today…”

Wu’an Hou’s wife also smiled and said, “Let’s not talk about them. Yesterday I got a pair of bracelets. We each have one. You can try them on and see if they are suitable…”

Lin Xiu and Zhao Lingjun stood in the distance and watched them. The relationship between the couple was average, but the two sets of parents seemed to be getting closer and closer.

Lin Xiu and Zhao Lingjun looked at each other. Although neither of them spoke, they understood each other’s intentions.

Lin Xiu needed Zhao Lingjun.

Zhao Lingjun also needs Lin Xiu.

They need to keep up this false appearance of love.

Tonight, Emperor Xia is holding a dinner in the palace, and all the geniuses from various countries who have passed the Xiaobi are invited.

Lin Xiu looked at Zhao Lingjun and asked, “Shall we go together tonight?”

Zhao Lingjun nodded. Lin Xiu

said, “Then I’ll come to you tonight.”

There were still several hours before the dinner. When Lin Xiu returned to the new house, he saw four figures standing at the door.

The couple of Earl Jian’an, and the brothers Qin Song and Qin Bai.

The couple looked the same as before, but the brothers Qin Song and Qin Bai had changed a lot when Lin Xiu last saw them. They looked much thinner, pale, and with sunken eyes. I don’t know what they have experienced during this period of time to become so haggard.

The woman looked at Qin Wan who was standing at the door with a smile on her face, and said, “Wan’er, it was all our fault before. No matter what, you have the blood of the Qin family flowing in your body, and blood ties cannot be severed…”

Qin Wan looked at them with a smile and asked, “Excuse me, who are you?”

The faces of the couple of Earl Jian’an changed. Earl Jian’an said angrily, “Rebellious girl, what did you say!”

Qin Wan’s face gradually turned cold. At this time, a figure walked over. Lin Xiu looked at Earl Jian’an and said lightly, “Have you forgotten that Wan’er is no longer a member of your Qin Mansion? The contract in black and white is still in my hands. Do you want to disown her? “I want to

pay you back?”

When he saw Lin Xiu, Jian’an Bo was startled, but he finally mustered up the courage to say, “She is my daughter. I will find a way to pay you back if I owe you money. But you borrowed money and forced others to take possession of someone else’s daughter. What’s the difference between you and those dandy bullies? Aren’t you afraid of being punished by God? Aren’t you afraid of being hunted down by righteous people? Aren’t you afraid that I will report you to His Majesty!”

Lin Xiu looked at him and asked, “You want to go to His Majesty to sue me, but with your status, you may not be able to see His Majesty. Otherwise, I will go with you…”

He was so confident that Jian’an Bo panicked and stammered.

How could His Majesty punish Lin Xiu at the height of his power?

And he was right, he could not see His Majesty at all.

Lin Xiu put his arm around Jian Anbo’s shoulders and whispered in his ear: “You are not a good thing, and I am not a good person either. Wan’er is my woman now. I can forgive you for what you did to her in the past. In the future, if you dare to appear in front of her again, I promise that your family will disappear in the capital. Do you understand?”

Jian Anbo’s shoulders hurt, and he felt that his bones were about to break. Sweat was pouring down his forehead. He trembled and said, “I know, I know…”

Lin Xiu let him go, and the family of four fled away from here.

Lin Xiu breathed a sigh of relief. The feeling of being a dude bully was as refreshing as ever.

It seemed that Qin Wan’s mood was affected by the Qin family. After returning to the courtyard, she was not in a good mood.

In the courtyard, Lin Xiu hugged Qin Wan from behind and said, “We still have to attend the banquet in the evening. Don’t let them affect your mood. Think about happy things…”

Qin Wan looked back at him and said, “I can’t think of anything happy. Otherwise, let’s do something happy?”

…

At night, a hall in the central palace was brightly lit.

His Majesty is hosting a banquet here tonight, and the two hundred geniuses from various countries who passed the small competition are all invited.

This is the supreme honor for them, and it may only happen once in their lifetime.

In the competition among various countries, only the top 100 will be selected from the Tianjiao list. Most of these places are occupied by the five major dynasties. For some geniuses from small countries, the small competition is the most glorious moment in their lives.

There are several rows of tables in the hall. Most people have arrived in advance and sat in their seats, looking at the figure sitting in the front with envy in their eyes.

There are the positions of the top thirteen geniuses in the small competition. If nothing unexpected happens, they will all be on the Tianjiao list in half a year.

The two empty seats in the front belong to the first and second in the small competition respectively.

This time, due to some unexpected circumstances, there is only a tie for first place in the small competition.

At a certain moment, there was a commotion from the direction of the entrance of the hall.

Everyone looked over, and under their gaze, a young man and woman walked into the hall hand in hand, like a fairy couple.
