Young Master, Don't Show Off - Chapter 368

[Chapter 368 The Great Visitor]

Emperor Xia was so straightforward that Lin Xiu was a little caught off guard.

He had just begun to test…

At this time, Emperor Xia took a sip of wine and continued, “The crown prince is not worthy of being used, and the King of Qi is also mediocre. By my side, there is only the King of Qin. Zhang’er’s talent for supernatural arts is the best among all the princes, and he is also kind-hearted. I am relieved to hand over the throne to him. Unfortunately, he is weak and has no one behind him…”

“…”

Lin Xiu found that all his words were said by Emperor Xia.

After a long time, he cleared his throat and said, “Your Majesty is behind the King of Qin. Minghe, I, and the Lin family will always stand behind your majesty.”

Emperor Xia breathed a sigh of relief and said, “With your words, I feel relieved…”

After a meal, Lin Xiu left in a daze.

In the imperial garden, after Lin Xiu left, Emperor Xia and Concubine Shu looked at each other, and both couldn’t help laughing. After

coming out of the palace, Lin Xiu always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn’t tell what was wrong.

Walking out of the palace gate, a figure got off the carriage in the distance.

When the prince saw Lin Xiu, he was stunned for a moment, then he forced a smile on his face and said, “Congratulations to Madam Lin for being promoted to the Heavenly Rank…”

Lin Xiu smiled at him and said, “Thank you, Your Highness.”

Lin Xiu’s smile was very warm, but the prince was very scared in his heart. Perhaps because he had done something wrong in the past, he became more and more scared as he watched the Lin Mansion grow day by day. If Lin Xiu smiled at him once, he would probably have nightmares for several days in a row…

After leaving the palace, Lin Xiu did not go home, but walked towards the Qin Palace.

Although Emperor Xia also wanted him to be the emperor, it was a bit too abrupt to inexplicably abolish the prince and let him take the throne.

Even the Zhang family and the Song family knew that by using various means to build momentum for the prince and the King of Qi, the throne that was obtained in this way could be legitimate. At present, Li Baizhang, except for his better talent in strange arts, actually did not have a stronger sense of existence than the prince and the King of Qi.

He had to make some achievements.

Taking advantage of this time, Lin Xiu also has to find a way to break through to the Heavenly Rank. If the Zhang and Song families are desperate, he and Ling Jun can join forces to suppress them. At

the Qin Palace, when Lin Xiu went there, Li Baizhang was practicing.

Seeing Lin Xiu, he was a little surprised and said, “Why do you have time to come to my place today?”

When the two were in the Yishu Academy, they were inseparable. Later, they also made an appointment to drink together. At that time, they were still fellows, with the same unhappy marriage and the same lust…

But later, as their circumstances changed, they drank less together.

Lin Xiu’s talent gradually revealed, and he became one of the arrogance of Daxia. More importantly, he was surrounded by beauties like his father, and each of them was a contemporary prodigy. Li Baizhang felt that he was not worthy of sitting with him.

He glanced at Lin Xiu and asked, “Would you like a drink?”

Lin Xiu waved her hand and said, “No, I just had a drink with His Majesty in the palace.”

Li Baizhang sighed in his heart. Sure enough, he and his father were the ones who had common topics. He asked leisurely, “What do you want to talk to me about?”

Lin Xiu said, “It’s nothing big. Your father is planning to change the crown prince. Be prepared.”

Li Baizhang looked at him in a daze: “???”

…

Zhao Lingjun’s breakthrough to the Heavenly Rank at the age of 21 caused a long-term hot discussion in Daxia, and also made the Lin family, which had already attracted much attention, once again the focus of the royal capital.

She is the first Heavenly Rank expert in the Lin family, but she will not be the last.

In the days to come, such things may happen frequently.

Envoys from various countries gathered in the royal capital, and this matter also spread across the continent at a very fast speed.

Daluo, the palace.

The middle-aged man with a dignified face looked deeply in the direction of Daxia. The 21-year-old Tianjie has extraordinary significance. Although many people in Daluo are unwilling to admit it, it is an undeniable fact that the neighbor they once looked down upon is rising day by day, gradually catching up with or even surpassing them.

In another palace, a woman was holding an ice bear in her arms, her blue pupils full of admiration, and she murmured: “It’s worthy of you…”

Dayou, the Senate.

The news from Daxia forced the Senate to hold a meeting. Although Dayou also had a Heavenly Rank Upper Realm, it could lose one at any time.

In three to five years, the ancestors could still protect Dayou.

Ten years later, if Dayou did not have a new Heavenly Rank Upper Realm, it might fall to the point where it was not even as good as Daluo. They had been the overlord of the continent for a long time, and would never allow any country to challenge or shake their position.

The breakthrough of that woman forced Dayou to take some actions in advance.

In the School of Different Arts, Doug and Colin, who had just fought a battle, were speechless for a long time after hearing the news. After

entering the Earthly Rank Upper Realm, they thought they had a chance to surpass the woman from Daxia, and then they heard the news that she had broken through the Heavenly Rank.

This speed of cultivation can only be described as terrifying.

Zhao Lingjun and the others did not want to surpass, so they could only settle for the second best and take Lin Xiu as their target. Although Lin Xiu was also very powerful, he would not make people feel the kind of insurmountable despair.

Doug glanced at Colin and asked, “Did Otto go to Daxia again?”

Colin nodded and said, “It seems that he has a good relationship with Lin Xiu…”

… On

the streets of Daxia.

A nobleman was holding a fan and walking leisurely on the street. He saw a man and woman with exotic looks. The woman had curly black hair and amber eyes. He couldn’t help but look at them a few more times.

It was these few glances that made him distracted and accidentally bumped into an old man.

The old man was carrying a load of pears and stumbled when he was bumped. The pears all fell to the ground. The nobleman was angry and habitually raised his foot and cursed, “You didn’t…”

He subconsciously wanted to curse, “Don’t you have eyes?” Suddenly, he was shocked and thought that this was not the same as before. This kick might make him pay a heavy price. He immediately retracted his foot and smiled apologetically, “Are you okay, old man? I didn’t pay attention when I was walking just now…”

After apologizing to the old man, in order to show his sincerity, he also bought all the old man’s pears.

The foreign woman looked at the man beside her and asked, “Is this really Daxia?”

The man said, “Of course, I have been here three times. This is the capital of Daxia.”

The woman shook her head. It seemed that the words of the Dayou court could not be trusted at all. They said that the people of Daxia were living in dire straits, and the powerful there could oppress the people at will without being punished, but what she saw with her own eyes was not the case.

There were no slaves here, nor were there powerful people who oppressed the people. On the contrary, those nobles were very polite, even to the common people, they were polite. She had been deceived by the Dayou court all along.

Only by coming here in person could she witness the truth with her own eyes.

The eyes of the slaves of Dayou were empty and wooden, but the eyes of the people here were full of light and hope.

This is a country full of hope.

At this time, the man beside her pointed and said, “Their home is in front…”

Lin Xiu was practicing in the room. When she heard that there were guests visiting, she just walked out of the palace and saw Otto’s familiar face, as if she saw a pile of glittering Yuanjing.

He stepped forward quickly and said, “Are you here to challenge me again? How about betting a little more Yuanjing this time…”

Otto waved his hands and said, “No more betting. I’m not your opponent. I’m here to return your Yuanjing.”

Lin Xiu took a box from Otto and found a figure standing not far behind him. The figure had beautiful black curly hair and amber eyes. She was very beautiful…

Lin Xiu was stunned.

Princess Sophia?

Why did he come here?

His expression returned to normal in an instant, and he asked calmly, “Who is this?”

Otto introduced, “This is Sophia, my sister. She said she wanted to come to Daxia to have a look, so I brought her along.”

Sophia stretched out her hand to Lin Xiu and said in standard Daxia dialect, “Lin, I’ve heard of your name for a long time…”
