Young Master, Don't Show Off - Chapter 252

[Chapter 252 Chiba Rin’s Situation]

To secretly send someone to assassinate, and then to save the beauty and take the opportunity to deceive someone’s heart, this is too shameless.

Although Lin Xiu is lustful, he knows how to win beauty.

He looked at Emperor Xia and said repeatedly: “Your Majesty, this is not good. If the matter is exposed, it will backfire. Not only will there be no chance, but if it is spread out, it will damage the prestige of Daxia and ruin my innocence…”

Emperor Xia thought about it carefully and said: “What you said makes sense.”

Although Lin Xiu is not innocent, the court still has to save face.

Lin Xiu took the opportunity to say, “Your Majesty, why don’t you send an upper-level earth-rank priest to send her back to Fusang? It’s impossible that a strong man of the heaven-rank will kill her halfway. In this way, Miss Qianye will surely accept the favor of our Great Xia court.”

Emperor Xia glanced at him and said, “Do you think that the upper-level earth-rank priests can be sent whenever they want? If they take action once, the court needs to pay a huge price. If I ask your wife to send Qianye Lin back to Fusang, do you think she will be willing?”

Lin Xiu thought about it. Excluding the personal relationship between Zhao Lingjun and Qianye Lin, she might not pay any attention to Emperor Xia.

The strong men of the upper-level earth-rank are already the top combat power under the heaven-rank. There are only a few heaven-ranks in a country. The strength of the upper-level earth-rank can already be conferred as a duke. This level of priests has a cooperative relationship with the court rather than a subordinate relationship.

It would cost a lot to ask them to take action.

Emperor Xia looked at Lin Xiu and said, “Besides, even if someone wants to assassinate her on the way, with your strength, you two should be able to handle it. If it were anyone else, I would not feel at ease. It is best for you to go. In addition, you can cultivate your feelings on the way. Maybe she will not plan to go back once she is moved…”

…

After an unknown amount of time, Lin Xiu came out of the imperial study with a secret order that Emperor Xia had just written in his arms.

He just mentioned it for the sake of Qianye Lin’s safety, and Emperor Xia gave him the task.

Qianye Lin needs to go from the capital to the dock in Jiangnan to take a merchant ship back to Fuso. There is no need to worry about her safety at sea. The large merchant ships from Daxia to Fuso belong to the Daxia court. The defense force on the ship is very strong, and there must be earth-level masters with water and wind attributes.

Don’t look at the genius of water magic, who performs mediocrely on the training ground.

The sea is their territory. Their strength on land and sea is dozens of times different. Unless they encounter a high-level master with the same ability, they are almost invincible.

There is no absolute strength or weakness between different supernatural powers. The environment is the most critical factor in determining victory or defeat.

The sea is absolutely safe. If an assassin wants to take action, he will definitely choose Qianye Lin on the way from the royal capital to Jiangnan.

She just won the third place in the small competition. If an accident happens in Daxia, no matter whether it is caused by the Daxia court or not, the Daxia court cannot escape the responsibility.

After leaving the palace, Lin Xiu went to the south city first.

At this time, in the imperial study, Emperor Xia was in a very happy mood.

Although this matter can also ask high-level priests to take action, it also has to pay a certain price.

Lin Xiu is different.

He doesn’t ask for much, it’s nothing more than writing an imperial edict and granting a marriage. If all priests can be satisfied as easily as him, how much expenditure can the court save every year? In

a villa somewhere in the south city of the royal capital, Lin Xiu slept at the imperial concubine’s place, and his physical and mental fatigue was swept away.

He said to Shuangshuang: “Thank you Shuangshuang, I feel much better now.”

Shuangshuang said: “Brother Lin’s practice is too hard. Whenever you are tired of practicing, just come to me.”

At present, Shuangshuang is the only one who can help Lin Xiu in this regard.

Lin Xiu has tried it on Caiyi and Qin Wan. Caiyi’s cultivation is at the lower level of the Xuan rank, so Lin Xiu can only give her one more ability. Qin Wan’s cultivation is at the lower level of the Di rank, so Lin Xiu can only give her one ability.

It can be seen that the problem is not with them, but with Lin Xiu.

His idea of giving them the healing ability can only be put on hold temporarily.

The Xiaobi has ended, and Murong Yu is still staying with the Imperial Concubine. She doesn’t seem to plan to return to Jiangnan. The Imperial Concubine has let her enter the Yishu Academy through the relationship of His Majesty. During

the time she was out of the palace, the Imperial Concubine looked different. The sadness between her eyebrows disappeared without a trace. Lin Xiu originally wanted to wait until the Xiaobi was over and repair the house as soon as possible and give it to her, but Emperor Xia assigned him another task, so this matter had to be delayed for a few more days.

But the Imperial Concubine didn’t care about it at all. She had originally thought that Xiao Yu’er was a gift from Lin Xiu, so she had two gifts.

Back at the new house, Lin Xiu showed the secret order to Qianye Lin.

After reading it, Qianye Lin said embarrassedly: “I have to trouble Mr. Lin again…”

Lin Xiu waved his hand and said: “We are all so familiar with each other, you don’t have to be polite. Tomorrow morning, we will set off together. I will come back after sending you on the ship.”

Qianye Lin subconsciously thanked him, and thinking of what Lin Xiu had just said, he finally just nodded.

In the evening, Lin Xiu and Lingyin talked about sending Qianye Lin away. Lingyin didn’t have any special reaction. Qin Wan looked at him with meaningful eyes, because the relationship between the two of them was advancing by leaps and bounds during the journey. A single man and a single woman, traveling together, staying together for twelve hours every day, it was hard not to have something happen.

The next morning, Lin Xiu and Qianye Lin set out from the royal capital.

In the next two days, Lin Xiu proved with practical actions that Qin Wan’s idea was completely based on a woman’s heart and a gentleman’s belly.

Lin Xiu could still distinguish friendship from feelings.

If he really had ideas about Qianye Lin, he would have taken action as early as when Emperor Xia asked him to sacrifice himself for the country.

It is impossible that there has been no progress in the past month.

But it is also undeniable that the distance between him and Qianye Lin was getting closer every moment during these two days.

This is also something that is unavoidable. They are traveling together, and they can’t just keep silent. They need to find some topics to talk about, and they talk for a whole day. After two days, Lin Xiu even found out how many people there are in her family and what her parents like…

At the same time, he also understood Qianye Lin’s difficult situation in Fuso.

Among the four major clans in Fuso, the Qianye family is the weakest. Because of her talent over the years, the other three major families have felt a huge threat, and she is often assassinated.

In the last competition, she achieved the ninth place in the Tianjiao list, which also brought more troubles.

The Qianye family is facing a more crazy blow from the three major families.

At the same time, the five major dynasties also sent envoys to the Qianye family to propose marriage, hoping that she can marry into the five major dynasties. The objects of the marriage proposal are all royal families of various countries, and the Qianye family faces greater pressure.

Geniuses born in a big country are naturally the focus of attention. They have been tilted by various resources since childhood and have been trained by the country.

But the geniuses of those small countries are completely different. First, they will be suppressed by other domestic forces. Second, the five dynasties will try their best to take these geniuses for themselves. As far as Lin Xiu knows, before the competition ended, the court had recruited a large number of geniuses from other countries, and the surrounding countries were also poached by Emperor Xia. Among

them is the earth-level genius of the Western Regions. He is now a Daxia person. In the competition six months later, he will also represent Daxia.

With Qianye Lin’s talent and strength, it is definitely not just Daxia that is targeting her.

Under heavy pressure, even within the Qianye family, different voices appeared.

Some people want her to continue to stay in the Qianye family so that the family can be strengthened in the future.

Some people also want her to leave. As long as she leaves, the family’s crisis will be immediately resolved.

And with the increasing pressure from the three major clans and the five dynasties, the latter voice has now become the mainstream in the Qianye family.

It was okay when she came to Daxia to participate in the competition, but she had to face these things after returning to Fuso.

Although Lin Xiu sympathized with her, he could do nothing to help her.

Her marriage seems to be her own business, but behind it is the game of the five dynasties. If Lin Xiu is not the son of the powerful in Daxia, but a genius in a small country, and he won the second place in the small competition, he will face the same situation as Qianye Lin.

At that time, there may be princesses of Daluo, Daxia, Dayu, and Daying Dalu, vying for him to be their son-in-law…

Before dark tonight, the two did not find a place to stay, so they could only camp outside for one night. In

a forest somewhere, Lin Xiu built a bonfire in an open space. Qianye Lin sat opposite him, staring at the jumping flames absentmindedly, and the flames reflected her pretty face red.

Lin Xiu caught two fish from the stream in the mountain stream, put them on a straight wooden stick, and roasted them on the fire.

At a certain moment, a few bird calls came from the mountains, and Lin Xiu suddenly raised his eyebrows.

No way, did the dog emperor really send him an assist?

He closed his eyes. On a nearby tree, a bird’s eyes shone with a lively light, and it suddenly flapped its wings and flew up.

Deep in the dense forest, three figures were waiting.

A moment later, a figure flew down from the sky and whispered, “There is a bonfire in the southeast. It should be them. We let her escape last time. We must not fail this time…”

Beside the bonfire, Lin Xiu slowly opened his eyes.

It was not an assist arranged by Emperor Xia.

There really was an assassin.
