Young Master, Don't Show Off - Chapter 381

[Chapter 381: The Magical Use of Mind Reading]

Feeling the new power in his body, Lin Xiu smiled.

Just now, he noticed that there was a very weak fluctuation of Yuanli in the body of Concubine Shu, which could not be detected without careful perception. Before he could think about it, Concubine Shu had already actively passed that ability to him.

Mind reading is undoubtedly one of the abilities that Lin Xiu wants to obtain the most.

Although he does not peek into other people’s hearts all the time, many times, knowing the other person’s inner thoughts clearly can indeed save a lot of trouble.

All conspiracies and tricks are exposed in front of him.

When he walked out of the palace gate, Lingyin beside him glanced at Lin Xiu and asked, “Isn’t it just meeting Concubine Shu? Are you so happy now?”

Lin Xiu was happy because he got a new ability. When he looked at Lingyin, he couldn’t help but knock her on the head before he spoke, and said, “You have abolished the prince, and you and I have avenged your hatred. Isn’t it worth being happy? What are you thinking about?” After

being with him for a long time, even Lingyin has become unruly.

Of course, Lingyin couldn’t be blamed for this. He fell in love with everyone he met, and he never refused anyone. Others couldn’t help but think about it.

But Lin Xiu always treated Concubine Shu as an elder, and he didn’t have any improper thoughts. She was his friend’s mother and the favorite concubine of Emperor Xia. It was okay to be lustful, but there should be a bottom line. People couldn’t, at least they shouldn’t…

When they returned to the Lin Mansion, the whole capital was boiling because of something.

The prince’s character was overturned. In the past, the people just thought he was stupid, but now they know that he is stupid and bad. They are all curious about what the final result of this matter will be.

Soon, inside information came out from some high-ranking families.

In the assassination of the second lady of the Zhao family and Lin Xiu, the court had never caught the murderer. Now it is known that these things were actually instigated by the prince behind the scenes.

The Lin family naturally refused to give up, but the Zhang family had two heavenly ranks and the strongest man in Daxia, and was determined to protect the prince to the end.

In the end, Lin Xiu decided how to deal with this matter by making an appointment with the ancestor of the Zhang family.

This battle ended with the defeat of the ancestor of the Zhang family.

As soon as this news came out, it immediately caused an uproar.

The ancestor of the Zhang family, the strongest man in Daxia, was defeated by Lin Xiu. Doesn’t it mean that Lin Xiu has also reached the Heavenly Rank, and is also a top-level strongman among the Heavenly Rank?

You know, he is a few months younger than his wife Zhao Lingjun.

The strongest man in Daxia changed hands. The record of the youngest Heavenly Rank that Zhao Lingjun had just created was broken by him before it lasted long.

In this way, the Zhang family naturally lost the power to protect the prince. Lin Xiu proposed to abolish the prince and support the King of Qin as the new crown prince in the name of the prince’s lack of virtue. All the strong men did not object.

The prince and the King of Qi had been fighting for many years, and no one expected that the one who laughed last was the King of Qin who usually did not show his strength.

Combined with recent events, the King of Qin pacified the Qinglian Sect and promoted peace talks between Daxia and the Sea Clan. Lin Xiu was paving the way for him and preparing for today.

Until now, whether it is personal ability, popular reputation, or the power behind him, it is natural for him to be the crown prince.

Zhang family, the ancestor of Zhang family has woken up. From Duke Dingguo, he learned about what happened after he fell into a coma. He leaned on the bed and fell into a long silence.

At his age, he doesn’t really care who will be the emperor.

No matter how much power and strength one has, after a few years, he will still return to dust.

He just felt a little sad that he had practiced for more than a hundred years, but he was not as good as the younger generation who had just passed the age of twenty.

Duke Dingguo said in a complicated tone: “He has more than two kinds of special skills…”

Now, of course, they know that Lin Xiu’s ability is not only ice and fire, but at least there is another ability that will make people’s special skills ineffective as long as they get close to him.

In the past year, first there was Dayou’s dual ability, then Lin Xiu’s triple ability, and even the appearance of aliens. The world is changing too fast, and all kinds of things that impact their cognition have appeared. They, the old guys, seem to have been unable to keep up with this era.

When Lin Xiu and Zhao Lingjun were 21 years old, their strength was already the best in Daxia.

These old guys, at their age, were still fighting for power and profit. Under the double blow, at a certain moment, he lost interest in these things. Even if someone with the blood of the Zhang family became the emperor, he would never see that day. After

handing over the matter of selecting a concubine for the King of Qin to his son, he announced that he would be in seclusion and not ask about family affairs. At

the same time, the top wealthy families in the capital were all busy with the same thing. His Majesty said that Daxia would not establish the position of the crown prince in advance in the future, but would choose the best from among the princes. In this way, all families would have the same opportunity.

Several dukes’ mansions were selecting excellent legitimate daughters to prepare for the selection of concubines.

The Duke of Chen’s mansion was jubilant at this moment. Who would have thought that marrying his daughter to the King of Qin would have such a great gain. Peipei was the King of Qin’s principal wife. After he ascended the throne, she would be the queen who ruled the country.

At that time, the status of the Chen family will naturally rise. His Majesty said that all princes will be treated equally, but as long as the Queen’s eldest son does not make any big mistakes, he will still be the first heir to the throne. The Chen family still has a huge advantage over other families.

Compared with the Chen family, the Wei family is almost regretting it.

The former wife of the King of Qin was a woman from their Wei family, but not long ago, she divorced the King of Qin, which was equivalent to her giving up her position as the Queen.

The Song family, everyone in the Song family was also in a dilemma.

Although the Song family had many daughters, they were either already married or too young. They could not marry married women to the King of Qin, nor could they send a ten-year-old girl to the palace.

After thinking about it, it seemed that there was only one legitimate daughter of the right age in the family who had not yet found a good match…

The ancestor of the Song family walked into a courtyard and said to a burly woman who was feasting: “Yuzhi, don’t eat yet, I have something important to tell you…”

…

Lin Mansion.

Lin Xiu and the other two returned home.

The matter of the prince had become a thing of the past, and Lin Xiu suddenly felt a sense of loss.

After all, for a long time in the past, he regarded overthrowing the prince as a major goal. He once thought that it would take at least twenty years to get to this point today, but he didn’t expect it to take only a little more than two years.

In the past two years, all prefectures in Daxia have been peaceful and prosperous, and the dignitaries in the royal capital have gradually become honest. Li Baizhang became the next emperor as he wished, and Lin Xiu also fulfilled his promise in front of Chen Yu’s tomb.

Suddenly, there was nothing to do, and his heart was empty.

Zhao Lingjun’s expression was very similar to Lin Xiu’s.

She has been practicing hard over the years, and she has been waiting for this day. Originally, she thought that it would take at least more than ten years to complete the task, but with the help of Lin Xiu, it only took two years.

The road ahead is still long, and she felt a little lost after losing her goal.

Lin Xiu took a deep breath and quickly cheered up. After all, revenge is not the most important thing for him. The matter of the prince is over, and he has more important things to do. For example, it is time to seriously consider his relationship with Lingyin.

It is not a solution to always drag it on like this.

Should I find an opportunity to express my feelings to her?

Lin Xiu looked at Lingyin inadvertently. She glanced at Lin Xiu and asked, “Why are you looking at me? Is there something on my face?”

Lin Xiu retracted his gaze. If he didn’t take the initiative in this matter, he would never expect Lingyin to take the initiative.

Lingjun had already made it clear to him. She had no objection, but he still had to test the intentions of his father-in-law and mother-in-law.

A quarter of an hour later, the Duke Wu’an and his wife came here.

Emperor Xia did not forget his promise to Lin Xiu this time. When he reached the Heavenly Rank, it would be the day when his father was conferred the title of the Second-Class Duke. Last time, he had already conferred him in advance. This time, Lin Xiu was promoted. The Lin family had two Heavenly Ranks. He directly changed his father’s second-class duke to a first-class duke, and also promoted the title of his father-in-law.

In order not to worry them, the mastermind behind the assassination of him and Lingyin was the crown prince. Lin Xiu and Lingjun had never told them. This time, he also directly made the matter public through the hands of the Qingli Division.

Wu Angong said with a gloomy face, “I didn’t expect that the prince’s heart would be so twisted and his methods would be so cruel. When Lingyin was repeatedly assassinated, we didn’t even doubt him at all.”

Lingyin’s mother was even more worried about Lin Xiu and said, “You are too impulsive. That’s the prince. He has the Zhang family and the royal family behind him. What if…”

Lin Xiu looked at his father-in-law and mother-in-law and said, “No matter who he is, if he dares to hurt Lingyin, he must pay the price.”

Zhao Lingyin blushed slightly. Although she liked to hear this, she couldn’t say it in front of her parents. What if they misunderstood…

Wu Angong and his wife looked at Lin Xiu. With his status, he was certainly qualified to say this. Lingyin was his relative, and they knew better than anyone else how Lin Xiu protected his relatives.

At the beginning, he was slapped in public just because the Crown Princess insulted Princess Minghe’s mother.

At that time, Princess Minghe was just his friend.

He usually loves Lingyin so much, even treats her better than Lingjun. With his hatred of evil and fearlessness, it is not surprising that he would do such a thing for her.

But they don’t know what kind of thoughts he has for Lingyin?

Is it the love between relatives, or the love between men and women?

As parents, how can they not see that their daughter likes Lin Xiu? They used to worry about Lingjun’s feelings, but these days, Lingjun has implied that she doesn’t object to letting Lingyin stay with her forever, which gradually dispels their concerns… But they

don’t know Lin Xiu’s thoughts. If he also likes Lingyin, it’s better to talk about it earlier. It’s not a good thing to keep dragging it on like this. Seeing that Lingyin is already 20 years old, there is no time to delay. The two of them are not in a hurry, but parents are… Lin

Xiu looked at his father-in-law and mother-in-law, and said secretly in his heart: “Thank you, Concubine Shu…”

Today is stuck, and the second update is estimated to be written after midnight, but it will still count as today.
