Young Master, Don't Show Off - Chapter 254

[Chapter 254: Mission accomplished]

Lin Xiu was stunned, thinking that she was hallucinating.

How did they talk about marrying her?

This is too fast!

Did she feel guilty after saving her twice and planned to marry him?

Seeing Lin Xiu’s stunned look, Qianye Lin quickly explained: “Mr. Lin, please don’t misunderstand. What I mean is, can you fake a marriage with me, just like you and Miss Zhao…”

Lin Xiu understood.

She wanted him to be a shield.

The biggest dilemma she and the Qianye family are facing now is the pressure from the five dynasties. The solution to this problem is very simple, just choose one to marry.

In this way, the contradiction is transferred to a certain dynasty and other dynasties.

However, Qianye Lin, like Zhao Lingjun, is devoted to cultivation and does not want to marry someone she doesn’t like.

If she marries someone else, she will be helpless.

Marrying Lin Xiu, she will practice hers, and Lin Xiu will pick up his girls. The two will not affect each other and live in harmony.

Just like the current state of him and Zhao Lingjun.

In this way, the dilemma of the Qianye family can be solved.

Lin Xiu also successfully completed the task assigned by Emperor Xia.

Daxia has one more prodigy.

Lin Xiu and Zhao Lingjun have one more reliable helper.

This time Lin Xiu helped her, next time Lin Xiu needs her help, will she be embarrassed not to help?

With her talent, she can expect to reach the Heavenly Rank in the future.

For Lin Xiu, this is also a long-term investment.

He can no longer figure out how many birds with one stone, how perfect and how perfect it is.

Lin Xiu didn’t expect that Qianye Lin, who looked petite and cute, could come up with such a good idea at the critical moment…

Lin Xiu looked at her and said, “Rin, you have to think about it carefully. Although it is a fake marriage, it will have a great impact on your reputation. Don’t you care about these?”

Qianye Lin said without any hesitation, “I have thought it through. Miss Zhao doesn’t care, and I don’t care about anything. Lin Jun is a good person. Marrying you is better than marrying the princes of the five dynasties…”

She was obviously inspired by Zhao Lingjun. This was the first time that Lin Xiu had received such a good person card since she was a child.

He himself didn’t care about this matter. There was already a Zhao Lingjun, and Lin Xiu didn’t care about having another Qianye Lin.

It was fun to help others, and he didn’t lose anything.

Lin Xiu looked at her and asked, “Have you really thought about it?”

Qianye Lin looked at Lin Xiu seriously, bowed and said, “Please, Mr. Lin!”

Lin Xiu said helplessly, “Okay, then I’ll try…”

…

Jiangnan Prefecture, seaside port.

A luxurious merchant ship full of cargo was ready to set sail. The ship was carrying a caravan traveling between Daxia and Fuso, and its destination was Fuso. The

dock was calm and windless at this time, but at a certain moment, the white sails on the ship suddenly swelled, and under the sea, there seemed to be an invisible hand pushing the water, and the ship went with the water.

Lin Xiu stood at the dock, and a figure always stood on the deck, looking in the direction of the dock until the merchant ship went away and completely disappeared from his sight. He

never expected that he didn’t take the task of Emperor Xia to heart at all, but he still completed the task successfully.

This may be fate.

The sea breeze blew, and Lin Xiu looked into the depths of the sea.

Since he was here, he was not in a hurry to go back. He would practice on the sea for a few days. If he went back too early, there was no way to explain the time.

Lin Xiu flew to the depths of the sea, and returned to Jiangnan Prefecture three days later.

Storms at sea are not so easy to encounter. He wandered on the sea for three days and only found one. After practicing for half an hour, the storm subsided.

When passing through Jiangnan Prefecture, Lin Xiu went to Zhang’s mine to take a look.

The last time he came here, he could only be forced to flee in embarrassment by the earth-level strongman. It happened that his ore was used up for practice. Since he was here, he would go to see him again this time.

He stood on the mine and touched the ground with his hand. Metal crystals began to condense on his hand.

Not long after, a strong fluctuation of Yuanli came from the bottom of the mountain.

A spear flew from a distance, setting off a sound of breaking through the air, and stabbed directly at Lin Xiu.

Lin Xiu stretched out his hand like lightning, grabbed the flying spear, and stepped back several steps before standing firm.

A figure ran from the bottom of the mountain, and in a few leaps, he was next to Lin Xiu.

This was a middle-aged man with a short beard. He stretched out his hand to grab Lin Xiu’s shoulder, but his palm passed through a shadow. The middle-aged man was shocked: “Afterimage?”

At the same time, there was a heavy blow from behind him. Even he couldn’t help but stagger and almost fell.

But it was just a stumble.

Before he could turn around, he was hit again on the back. In just a few breaths, the person behind him actually threw hundreds of punches, each of which was extremely powerful. Although he still couldn’t hurt him, it made him very uncomfortable.

He punched behind him and collided with another fist.

The two bodies retreated at the same time. The middle-aged man was amazed at the strength of the other party. Lin Xiu’s fist was also a little numb. He was a gold ability user in the upper realm of the earth level. He used his speed and strength to the extreme, but he could only repel him, but not hurt him.

Among all the abilities, I’m afraid no one can match the gold skill in defense.

After a short pause, the two fought again.

Soon, they had a clear understanding of each other’s strength.

For the middle-aged man, the man on the other side was strong, but not strong enough to threaten him, but the man was too fast and his reaction was even more agile. For a while, he couldn’t catch him.

After being knocked back by a punch again, his blood and qi surged in his body, and he felt very depressed. Finally, he stopped attacking, waved his hand, and said, “Forget it, it’s just a little mineral source. If you want to take it, take it. I don’t care, is it okay…”

This is the Zhang family’s mineral vein. He is just practicing here. There is no need to waste time with such a strong man for a little mineral source.

After that, he waved his hand and left on his own, as if he was too lazy to care about Lin Xiu anymore.

Lin Xiu shook his hand. His fist had lost consciousness, and perhaps even his bones were cracked. He wrapped the healing power around his fist and soon returned to normal.

At this time, the middle-aged man in front suddenly turned around and said, “It’s not easy to meet such a strong man. Brother, do you want to have a drink?”

Lin Xiu clapped his hands and said, “It’s better to obey than to be respectful.”

Although they had just fought, they were both very convinced of each other’s strength.

A moment later, in a small house under the mine, the middle-aged man ordered people to cook a few side dishes, and took out a jar of fine wine from his collection, saying, “This wine is the best wine in Kyoto. It is not available in Jiangnan. I have never been willing to drink it. Today I finally met someone to drink with me…”

Lin Xiu smiled and said, “If you like it, I will bring you a jar next time I come.”

The middle-aged man was overjoyed and said, “Brother, can you buy this wine?”

Lin Xiu said, “I have some treasures at home.”

The middle-aged man smiled and said, “Then you must come often.”

After chatting for a few words, Lin Xiu knew that the man opposite was called Meng Qi, a person with the ability of gold, and his cultivation was at the upper level of the earth level. The Zhang family provided him with mineral veins for cultivation, so he became a guest of the Zhang family.

Cultivation resources such as mineral veins are generally controlled by the court and these top clans. If you are not a child of the rich and powerful, you must either become a court servant or rely on these clans to improve your cultivation speed.

Meng Qi looked at Lin Xiu and said, “Brother Hu looks young, but his strength is really amazing. I’m afraid that his martial arts cultivation has already reached the upper level of the earth level, right?”

Although Lin Xiu’s true energy is still at the lower level of the earth level, combined with the power and speed skills, it does give others the illusion that he is at the upper level of the earth level.

In fact, his true strength is still a little behind that of the upper level of the earth level.

Lin Xiu just smiled and said, “Brother Meng is still amazing. I can’t break your defense at all.”

Meng Qi said, “Brother Hu, don’t be modest. I see that you also have the gold skill, and you have the strength of the lower level of the earth level. After you break through, the warriors of the upper level of the earth level will not be able to do anything to you. You can come here often to practice, and I will have a companion…”

“This is not good…”

“What’s wrong with that? Let’s just say it…”

…

Royal capital.

Imperial study.

Emperor Xia paced in the palace. Lin Xiu had been away for eight days. According to the time calculation, she should be back in the next two days. Of course, this was normal.

If he successfully completed the task, he might go sightseeing with the girl from Fusang Country. It was normal to delay for a few days. In this case, he hoped that Lin Xiu would come back a few days later.

It would be best if the love was deep and the marriage was done this month to avoid more trouble.

You know, the country eyeing her is not just Daxia.

He was just thinking about this when Zhu Jin came in from outside and said, “Your Majesty, Lin Xiu is back and is waiting outside the palace now.”

Emperor Xia immediately said, “Let him in.”

Lin Xiu came in from outside and bowed, saying, “Your Majesty.”

Emperor Xia waved his hand and said, “Has she been sent back?”

Lin Xiu nodded and said, “I watched her get on the boat.”

After that, he said, “Your Majesty, on the way I sent Miss Qianye back this time, I was ambushed by the Dayue assassins.”

Emperor Xia’s face froze: “Dayou assassins?”

Lin Xiu nodded and said, “There were four assassins in total. The leader was the one who tried to assassinate Miss Qianye last time. Their strength was all at the Earth Level. Miss Qianye and I tried our best to kill them all…”

Emperor Xia asked, “Are you all okay?”

Lin Xiu said, “Nothing serious.”

Emperor Xia breathed a sigh of relief, then snorted coldly, “Destroying what they can’t get is their usual method. They started in Daxia and put the blame on us. They really have a good plan…”

Then, as if he remembered something, he looked at Lin Xiu and asked, “So, didn’t you save her again?”

Lin Xiu nodded.

Emperor Xia asked hurriedly, “How is it? You didn’t miss the chance this time, did you? Then you’ve let me down. You’ve saved my life twice. In our Great Xia, it’s unreasonable not to repay you with your life…”

Lin Xiu bowed and said, “Minister, I have fulfilled my mission.”

Emperor Xia was stunned for a moment and asked, “What do you mean by fulfilling my mission? Do you mean… have you figured it out?”

Lin Xiu nodded and said, “Miss Qianye said she wants to marry me…”

After a brief silence, the sound of Emperor Xia’s wild laughter came from the imperial study. He patted Lin Xiu’s shoulder heavily, paced back and forth with joy, and said, “Okay, okay, okay, I knew you wouldn’t let me down. There is still an unmarried princess in the Daluo Dynasty. Her talent is no less than that of the girl in Fusang. Do you want to challenge yourself…”

Thanks to the two readers “tcmiex” and “Happy Children’s Day” for their rewards. I wanted to take a leave to adjust my status and change the update time back. Now I feel a little embarrassed…
