Young Master, Don't Show Off - Chapter 323

[Chapter 323 The Fourth Prince’s Request]

In fact, when Lin Xiu first entered the room, he felt that something was a little wrong.

But that little bit of strangeness was soon washed away by the joy of reunion.

How could he have thought that the Imperial Concubine was in Caiyi’s room, wearing Caiyi’s clothes and sitting on Caiyi’s bed, so he picked her up without thinking…

The moment he got her in his hands, he realized that he had picked up the wrong person.

He quickly let go of the Imperial Concubine and said, “I’m sorry, my lady, I didn’t know it was you…”

The Imperial Concubine’s expression returned to normal, as if nothing had happened just now, and she said calmly, “Caiyi went out to see you, and should be back soon.” As soon as

she finished speaking, footsteps were heard outside.

Lin Xiu walked to the door, opened his arms, and a figure threw himself into his arms.

This was the familiar scent and touch.

These days, Lin Xiu planned to accompany Caiyi well to make up for the lack of companionship with her these days. If it weren’t for Caiyi, Lin Xiu might not be able to beat Doug. The next time the competition, he can take her with him, and then she should be able to participate in the competition.

Caiyi said that the Imperial Concubine has been living here these days.

Shuangshuang left with Lin Xiu and the others, and Murong Yu also left. The Imperial Concubine felt bored, so she moved here to live with Caiyi. Last time, Caiyi gave a few of the clothes she bought from Jiangnan to the Imperial Concubine, so the misunderstanding just now happened.

The Imperial Concubine looked at Lin Xiu and Caiyi and said, “Xiao Yuer and Shuangshuang should have returned home, and I will go back too.”

When she left the Lin Mansion and got on the sedan chair, she touched her smooth and delicate face and felt a little hot, and her heart was full of strange feelings.

She felt that she was a little sick, and Shuangshuang was back, so she went to ask her…

The Imperial Concubine left, and Lin Xiu planned to go see her tomorrow.

The little guy did not leave with the Imperial Concubine, but stayed in the Lin Mansion, nudging in Lin Xiu’s arms, meowing, and no one could talk to it for so long.

Several figures walked in from outside. The little guy in Lin Xiu’s arms suddenly trembled, flapped his wings and flew into the air. His two front paws were surrounded by lightning. He bared his teeth and showed a ferocious expression at the other little guy in Natasha’s arms.

The little ice bear in Natasha’s arms also jumped to the ground, a layer of ice condensed on his body, and he was in a defensive state, roaring at the sky.

The alien beasts have a strong sense of territory and are very hostile to those who are not of the same kind. The atmosphere became tense when the two little guys met for the first time. The battle was imminent.

Natasha bent down and picked up the ice bear, patted its head, and said, “Annie, don’t be rude.”

After being scolded by the owner, the little ice bear retracted its head and no longer exuded coldness.

Lin Xiu also called the little guy back, touched its head, and said, “Annie is a friend, not an enemy…”

The opposition between the two little guys was just the nature of meeting for the first time. Under Lin Xiu’s careful education, they soon shook hands and made peace, playing happily on the grass.

Different from wild beasts, exotic animals have higher intelligence. Although they don’t speak the same language, it doesn’t affect simple communication.

As a friend of the girls, Natasha also has her own palace here, and she soon got to know Caiyi.

At this moment, her heart was full of envy for Lin Xiu.

She didn’t envy him for being tied for first place in the competition.

But because he had so many excellent and beautiful girls around him.

Not long after Lin Xiu came back, his parents and his father-in-law and mother-in-law also came. He just learned that his father’s title was promoted again and he has become a first-class marquis, the same level as his father-in-law, and his promotion speed is faster than his father-in-law back then.

The family just sat down and talked for a while, and there were more guests coming, and more than one.

Outside the Lin Mansion, there was already a long line of carriages.

“Duke Ding’s Mansion, congratulations to Lord Lin and his wife for being ranked first on the Tianjiao List!”

“Duke Cheng’s Mansion congratulates…”

“Duke Ning’s Mansion sends gifts!”

“Marquis Yongping’s Mansion…”

…

The prominent and powerful people in the royal city, including the Zhang family, the Song family, the Huang family, the Zhao family, and even the prince’s East Palace, all sent people to send gifts. The gifts were moved into the Lin Mansion one by one. Lin Xiu had someone vacate a palace to put them in.

Most of these people even had a feud with the Lin Mansion. Just a month ago, they collectively forced Lin Xiu to apologize to the Crown Princess.

A month later, their attitude suddenly changed, and even made Lin Xiu a little uncomfortable.

He opened the gifts and took a look. Although they were not vulgar things such as gold and silver, they were all cultural relics, calligraphy and paintings, rare jewelry, and precious medicinal materials, which were not cheap.

Lin Xiu asked the girls to choose what they liked, and picked some gifts for the imperial concubine that she might like, and brought them when he went to see her tomorrow.

In the evening, Lin Xiu took them to the palace to attend the banquet.

The dozen geniuses who entered the Tianjiao list are the protagonists of tonight’s banquet. Not only can they attend themselves, but they can also bring their families. This is a tradition after the Tianjiao list ends.

Entering the Tianjiao list and winning glory for the country is a great honor, and even the family is proud of it.

The Zhang family, the Song family, and the Xue family have once again proved what the top dignitaries are. Most of those who have entered the top ten of the Tianjiao list can step into the heavenly rank, which means that their families can at least continue their glory for decades.

And the Zhao family, because they have two daughters, also has a tendency to become the top wealthy family in the capital. Although they are married daughters, they still have the surname Zhao. The Zhao family is not a duke’s mansion, but no duke’s mansion dares to provoke it.

Because behind the Zhao family is the Lin family.

The husband and wife are two great geniuses, and even the concubines in the family are in the top ten of the Tianjiao list. There is no doubt that they will be the first family of Daxia in the future

. When she came to the palace, Lin Xiu not only brought colorful clothes, but also brought Natasha.

After all, her identity is the Daluo princess and an international friend. It is not good for them to leave her alone at home when their family goes to the banquet.

Today’s dinner was held in a palace in the Central Palace. The atmosphere was relatively relaxed and people could talk and laugh freely. Even the big families that usually engaged in intrigue against each other put aside their conflicts at the banquet and shared the glory that belonged to everyone in Daxia.

There was singing and dancing in the hall, and the imperial kitchen was full of delicious food. Natasha, who had just learned to use chopsticks, sat next to Lin Xiu and Zhao Lingjun, and her hands never stopped moving.

In terms of strength, Dayou is the leader of the five dynasties, there is no doubt about that.

But in terms of food, the other four dynasties combined are not as good as Daxia.

Emperor Xia sat in front, and at a certain moment, he waved to Lin Xiu.

Lin Xiu stood up and walked in front of Emperor Xia and asked, “Your Majesty, what’s the matter?”

Emperor Xia looked at Natasha below and asked, “Who is that woman? She looks familiar. She doesn’t look like a woman from Daxia. Is she a foreign woman you just got?”

Lin Xiu said, “Your Majesty, that’s Princess Natasha of Daluo.”

Puff…

Emperor Xia spit out a mouthful of wine and hurriedly wiped the corner of his mouth with his sleeve.

He felt that the woman was familiar from the beginning, as if he had seen her somewhere before. Only now did he remember that she was the princess of the Daluo Dynasty, the genius known as the Ice Queen. It’s true that a woman changes a lot when she grows up. Three years have passed, and he didn’t recognize her at the first time.

Then, he was overwhelmed by the huge surprise.

Princess Daluo, how could she be here?

Could it be…

He really didn’t misjudge her. He thought that Lin Xiu didn’t take what he said last time to heart, but her actions were so honest. Without a sound, she was kidnapped back…

He whispered to Lin Xiu: “When do you plan to get married? I asked the Ministry of Rites to prepare…”

Lin Xiu hurriedly said: “Your Majesty misunderstood, we are just friends, he is just temporarily living in the Lin Mansion, and will go back after a while.”

Emperor Xia said meaningfully: “Last time, you said the same thing about the one from the Qianye family. Don’t worry, there are still three years. I believe you…”

After a moment, Lin Xiu returned to his seat speechlessly.

The dog emperor is really greedy. It’s not enough that there are already five people in the top ten of the Tianjiao list. He

also wants to take advantage of Natasha. She is the number one genius in Daluo. Daluo’s strength is one level stronger than Daxia. Is it possible that he will give the number one genius to Daxia?

Moreover, in this competition, Daxia has taken too much advantage. Dayou can still tolerate it if it monopolizes 50% of the resources for three years. But if Daxia monopolizes 70% or even 80% of the resources according to the results of the competition, Dayou may overturn the table and stop playing.

Moreover, up to now, Lin Xiu still doesn’t know what the “that thing” that the Dayou strongman said is. After three years, Doug and Colin may only be in the upper realm of the earth level…

At this moment, the Daxia Palace is full of singing and dancing, and there is a lot of joy.

But in the distant Dayou, the Dayou geniuses who have just returned to the capital are not too welcome by the people of Dayou.

Although half of the top 100 geniuses on the Tianjiao list are geniuses from Dayou, the top 10 on the Tianjiao list are far behind Daxia, which is the biggest setback in the history of the competition.

As the most powerful dynasty on the continent, too many people cannot accept this result.

In a magnificent palace, there are many figures sitting at a round table.

In this competition, Dayou suffered a heavy setback, and many people in the country are very dissatisfied and angry.

But after the analysis of the Senate, they came to a conclusion that it was not that Dayou was weak. In fact, the lineup sent by Dayou this time was the strongest in history.

The reason for this result was that Daxia was stronger. They had too many geniuses who emerged, such as Lin Xiu, Qin Wan, and Xue Ning’er, who caught Dayou off guard.

They could not simply blame the geniuses of Dayou.

Even the humiliation of the fourth prince Otto was washed away.

The Tianjiao of Daxia had the dual abilities of ice and fire, and his strength was also in the upper realm of the earth level. No wonder he was able to fight three people alone half a year ago. Even if the eldest prince and the second prince were replaced, the result would be the same.

An old man sitting in the front said, “Otto.”

The fourth prince immediately stood up and said respectfully, “Grandfather.”

The old man asked, “In the past six months, it is true that the Senate has misunderstood you. What compensation do you want?”

In this competition, Otto’s performance was unexpected. Although he only ranked ninth, his indomitable and never-give-up spirit also conquered countless people.

The fourth prince thought for a moment and said, “Let the past be the past. I just want to be treated fairly… and get ten fifth-level alien beast crystals.”

A trace of surprise flashed in the old man’s turbid eyes, but he didn’t say anything.

Ten fifth-level alien beast crystals were nothing to Dayu, and he didn’t even ask Otto for the use of these crystals.

Not long after, the meeting was over. The old man glanced at the fourth prince and said, “Follow me.” The

fourth prince immediately walked over and followed the old man into a palace. The old man knocked on a floor tile with his cane, and there was a rumbling sound from the ground, revealing a winding and deep passage. Every few sections in the passage, there was a group of burning flames for lighting. The

fourth prince knew where he was going, and he was a little excited.

At this moment, he was very grateful to Lin Xiu.

Thank him for defeating Colin and Doug and clearing his grievances.

After a long time, the fourth prince followed the old man to the bottom of the passage. There was a huge underground palace. Inside the palace, many people were sitting cross-legged. The fourth prince saw Doug Colin and some famous masters of Dayu.

But what attracted his attention the most was the center of the palace.

There was something standing there.

The thing was more than ten feet high, diamond-shaped, and all white. It was hard to see inside. It looked like a large Yuan crystal.

Standing here, it was impossible to feel the magic of this thing, but at the signal of the old man, the fourth prince touched this thing with his hand, and the power in his body began to run wildly. A steady stream of Yuan power poured into his body from this diamond-shaped object…
