Young Master, Don't Show Off - Chapter 378

[Chapter 378 Exposed]

Jiangnan Villa.

Zhao Lingjun just felt that Lin Xiu’s eyes were very strange today.

He had never looked at her with such eyes before, and this look made her aware of danger. Something

must be fishy when something is out of the ordinary.

She was a little alert in her heart, and after a moment of silence, she asked, “What do you want to do?”

Lin Xiu came back to his senses and waved his hand, “No, nothing…”

As the saying goes, the eyes are the windows to the soul. What he thinks in his heart will be more or less reflected in his eyes.

Since discovering the copying ability of the Tianjie, even other people’s talents can be copied. Of course, what Lin Xiu wants is to improve his basic talent as much as possible.

Among the women Lin Xiu knows, Qin Wan, Ning’er, Minghe, Lingyin, and A Ke, their talents are similar, Qianye Lin is slightly higher, and Natasha is even higher, but once Zhao Lingjun appears, everyone will be eclipsed.

Six times the basic cultivation speed of Lin Xiu, and unlimited cultivation for twelve hours a day, if she had not encountered the bottleneck of the great realm, she would have been in the upper realm of the heavenly rank now.

Lin Xiu had coveted her talent for a long time.

The problem was that now he could only copy other people’s talents through dual cultivation, and holding hands was useless.

Of course, Lin Xiu had no objection to dual cultivation. He was not a dedicated person. Although he was not so casual in this regard, the six-fold talent and the unlimited growth of Yuanli were too tempting for him.

His current cultivation was very troublesome. The five elements, wind, thunder, etc., had to be cultivated in a specific environment. If he also had Zhao Lingjun’s talent, he would not have to run around and could practice at home peacefully.

But Zhao Lingjun would definitely not agree. Although

the two were familiar with each other, there was still an insurmountable boundary.

Moreover, this matter did not benefit her. Lin Xiu would gain something, and she would only lose something. The relationship between the two was not good enough for her to make selfless contributions for him.

At this time, Zhao Lingjun walked to Lin Xiu and said, “If you have anything to say, just say it directly.”

She has always been so straightforward, and Lin Xiu did not beat around the bush and said, “After entering the Heavenly Rank, my copying ability has changed again.”

Zhao Lingjun looked at him quietly.

Lin Xiu explained, “In addition to obtaining other people’s abilities, I can also copy other people’s talents.”

Zhao Lingjun once thought that telekinesis, light, and darkness were the most powerful abilities in the world. After knowing Lin Xiu’s secret, she understood what the most domineering ability was. Being able to obtain and grant abilities to others has exceeded people’s cognition of supernatural powers. Hearing this again, she was no longer so shocked. She understood

what Lin Xiu meant, and without hesitation, she reached out to Lin Xiu directly.

Since he could selflessly give her abilities, she could naturally share her talents with him.

For this, she was willing and not a bit unhappy.

Lin Xiu did not hold Zhao Lingjun’s hand, but explained awkwardly: “It is not possible to copy talents by holding hands for the time being.”

Zhao Lingjun was surprised for a moment, and then asked: “What do you need me to do?”

Lin Xiu looked at her with a helpless look.

Zhao Lingjun seemed to realize something, slowly withdrew her hand, and after a long silence, she whispered: “Is it the only way?”

Lin Xiu nodded.

Zhao Lingjun turned around and left without hesitation.

This was not beyond Lin Xiu’s expectations. If she was willing to make sacrifices in this regard, she would not leave on the wedding day. Of course, Lin Xiu was not unhappy or resentful of her choice.

The six-fold unlimited cultivation talent is good, but he also has his own concerns and entanglements in his heart.

If he and Lingjun become a real couple, what will happen to Lingyin?

The tacit understanding they maintain now is based on the fact that he and Lingjun are fake couples, so he can treat Lingyin unscrupulously, and Lingyin can enjoy these with peace of mind. If he

chooses Lingjun, he will inevitably lose Lingyin.

If you have to choose between them, Lingyin is more important. Anyway, his cultivation speed is not slow. It’s just a little harder and more troublesome.

A figure walked in from outside. Lingyin looked at Lin Xiu and asked curiously, “What did you say to your sister just now?”

Lin Xiu looked at the pretty face in front of her and didn’t think about anything. She smiled and said, “We are saying that it’s time to go back and get justice for you…”

…

Daxia, the capital.

Not long after the fall of the Qinglian Sect, another exciting news came back from the East Sea Prefecture.

Canglan Country and Hailing Country, the two major sea tribe countries, are willing to sign a peace agreement with Daxia, and from then on, they will coexist peacefully, benefit each other, and not invade each other…

The sea tribe’s envoys have arrived in the capital. Among them is a woman from the sea spirit tribe who is proficient in Daxia language. This time, as an envoy of Canglan Country and Hailing Country, she will discuss the details of the peace talks with the Daxia court.

Since the founding of Daxia, no, counting back, there has never been such a thing in all dynasties.

The sea people and the human race have always been in a hostile relationship. Minor frictions have lasted for hundreds or thousands of years, and major wars have also occurred several times. Many dynasties have wanted to negotiate peace with the sea people, but all ended in failure.

If Daxia can sign a peace agreement with the Sea Clan and completely resolve the chaos of the Sea Clan, then His Majesty will be the most worthy emperor of all time.

His great achievements are unmatched.

At first, some people suspected whether this was a conspiracy of the Sea Clan, but when they learned that the matter was negotiated by the Lin family and the two kings of the Sea Clan, all doubts were dispelled. Even a

21-year-old Tianjie could appear in the Lin family. The people have formed a deep-rooted idea that as long as it is related to the Lin family, nothing is impossible.

This is a great event that has shocked the world, and anyone who has contributed to this feat should be remembered by history.

Although the King of Qin cannot be said to have made a great contribution in this matter, he was the one who escorted the Sea Clan’s peace delegation back to the capital. At the beginning, he also led the Zhenhai Army to contact the Sea Clan. He also had a great contribution in this matter.

In recent months, the name of the King of Qin has been mentioned repeatedly in the court and among the people, and the limelight has completely overwhelmed the prince and the King of Qi.

The East Palace.

The prince paced in the palace. In recent days, he always felt uneasy, as if something big was going to happen. Even at night, he was often awakened by nightmares.

Recently, the King of Qin has been in the limelight. There are even rumors in the court that his father wants the King of Qin to succeed to the throne. Whether it is pacifying the Qinglian Sect or negotiating peace with the Sea Clan, it is all paving the way for the King of Qin to ascend to the throne.

This statement is simply ridiculous.

He has the Zhang family and two Tianjie behind him. Even the King of Qi has a Song family behind him. What is behind the King of Qin? How can he become the emperor? Is it Lin Xiu?

“…”

Lin Xiu has a good relationship with the King of Qin, but will he support Li Baizhang to become the emperor?

What good will this do him?

The prince was puzzled when suddenly a servant came forward hurriedly and whispered, “Your Highness, something bad has happened. Steward Liu has disappeared. He said he went to a brothel to have fun, but it’s been half a day and he hasn’t come back yet.”

The prince glanced at him indifferently and said, “It’s only been half a day. Maybe he was in the mood and played for a little longer. Why are you in such a hurry? I’m annoyed. Don’t bother me with trivial matters.”

The servant of the East Palace said, “Your Highness, you don’t know. Steward Liu is not away for so long. Usually, he only takes two or three quarters of an hour from going out to coming back. This time it was really too long. I asked someone to look for him, and the people in the brothel said he didn’t go at all.”

The prince frowned and asked, “Where could he have gone?”

Steward Liu was one of his confidants. Every one of the things he had done before was handled by Steward Liu. Steward Liu knew too many things about him. Once those things he had done were leaked, it would not end well even for him as the prince.

The prince was a little upset, waved his hand, and said, “Send a few more people to bring him back.”

When several servants of the East Palace hurriedly left, the Qinglisi Yamen had already caused a small-scale boiling.

The cause of the incident was that a steward of the East Palace had a meal in a tavern in East City. After getting drunk, he had a conflict with someone. He usually wore the tiger skin of the prince and was used to being domineering. This time he hurt someone and was escorted to the Qinglisi.

If it were in the past, relying on his identity as a steward of the East Palace, no Yamen in the royal capital dared to detain him.

But now is different from the past. Even those powerful children dare not be too arrogant. This steward is obviously still living in the past. After getting drunk, he not only made a scene in the Qinglisi, but also made wild remarks, threatening that even if he killed someone, the Qinglisi could not deal with him. He has killed several people, but now he is fine, right?

In the current Daxia, no government office dares to be careless about murder cases. Upon hearing this, the officials of the Qingli Division immediately interrogated him, but they found out some incredible things, and even the prince was involved. According to the steward,

he was the prince’s confidant, and he had done many things in secret under the order of the prince.

His Royal Highness’s magical ability is water, which is restrained by the ice magic, so he hates all ice magic users. Every time someone who awakens the ice magic appears in Daxia, the prince will try his best to send people to assassinate him.

Over the years, many ice magic users have died in this assassination. Even the second lady of the Zhao family and Lin Xiu, who was in the limelight in Daxia, were assassinated by the prince in the past few years, and more than once.

This matter sounds incredible. How crazy and twisted must a person be to do such a thing?

At first, people did not believe it, but the Qingli Division soon found evidence. According to the confession of the steward, the Qingli Division found the files of the deceased one by one, and they all matched what the steward said.

When the Qingli Division tried the case, it did not prohibit the people from watching. Once the case was verified, it swept the capital at an alarming speed.

In a short time, people on the streets were talking about it.

“What, the assassination of Lin Xiu was actually done by the prince?”

“How could there be such a person in the world? He awakened water and wanted to slaughter all ice magicians?”

“I can’t believe that the prince is such a person!”

“How can such a person be the emperor of Daxia?”

“Waste, he almost ruined two of my Daxia’s geniuses!”

“How dare he assassinate Zhao Lingjun’s sister and husband? The Lin family will never let him go!”

…

Eastern Palace.

When the prince learned about this, his eyes went dark and he had to hold on to the wall to stand firm. He had only one thought in his mind.

It’s over!

It’s all over!

After finally coming to his senses, he immediately said, “Quick, go to Zhang’s house and invite my grandfather… No, send me to Zhang’s house right away!”
