Don’t Show the Son

During another martial arts class, Professor Sun looked at Lin Xiu in surprise, and asked, Did you succeed in entraining your Qi?

Lin Xiu nodded and said, A friend who runs a martial arts gym helped me.

Entraining Qi requires at least the same prefecture-level warriors as him. Professor Sun never thought that Lin Xiu would have such a friend, but he didn't say much. gone.

Whether the entrainment is successful or not, the content of the martial arts class is also different.

Those who have not entrained qi yet, and whose physical fitness is too low, mainly focus on improving their physical fitness to prepare for entraining qi later, while those who have succeeded in entraining qi, such as Li Baizhang and Lin Xiu, mainly focus on martial arts training.

And the focus of their cultivation is to control the true energy.

For Lin Xiu, it is still a bit difficult for Lin Xiu to circulate the zhenqi in his body to a certain part of the body to attack, or to attach the zhenqi to a weapon. There is only a weak ray of zhenqi in his body, and the speed of circulation is very slow. , The process of accumulating power takes a long time, but attaching true energy to the weapon, he is currently unable to do this.

During the break between classes, Xue Ning'er walked over from not far away. She took out an invitation card from her sleeve, handed it to Lin Xiu, and said, It's my birthday in a few days, and I will hold a banquet at my house. You You won't reject me this time, will you?

Lin Xiu accepted the invitation with both hands, and said apologetically, No, no, I was really busy a few days ago. It's Miss Ning'er's birthday. I will definitely be there.

Lin Xiu only found out after reading the invitation that Xue Ning'er would be eighteen years old in a few days.

It's hard to imagine that a girl under the age of 18 is so well-developed, and she has been released so many times. Lin Xiu obviously has no reason to be absent from this birthday party.

He smiled at Xue Ning'er and asked, Has Wang Wei bothered you these few days?

When Lin Xiu mentioned this, Xue Ning'er remembered the day when Lin Xiu and Wang Wei were jealous because of her, and Zhao Lingjun's future husband was fighting for her. It felt very fulfilling to think about it.

She was secretly happy in her heart, but pretended to be unhappy on her face, and said angrily: What are you talking about, who asked you to gamble with him, what if you lose?

Lin Xiu shrugged and said, Didn't I win?

Having said this, Xue Ning'er had a look of doubt on her face, and murmured: Strange, why did Wang Wei make such a bet with you? He used to hang around Qin Wan...

Lin Xiu was stunned for a moment, her eyes narrowed slightly, then she looked at Xue Ning'er and asked, Miss Ning'er and Wang Wei, are you not familiar with each other before?

Xue Ning'er shook her head and said, I'm not very familiar, I haven't said a few words.

Lin Xiu was silent for a moment, then smiled, and said, It's good that he didn't bother you, well, I'm going to class, see you at the banquet...

After separating from Xue Ning'er, Lin Xiu held a wooden sword and kept the same swinging movement as required by Professor Sun, but looked at Wang Wei in front of him.

Including Sun Jiaoxi, even Wang Wei himself may think that the wooden sword he chose is not strong, but only Lin Xiu knows that the strong sword cannot be stronger.

Wang Wei used all his strength to strike him with the sword, without reservation.

If not, his wooden sword would not have broken in an instant. You must know that Lin Xiu's original plan was to pretend to stun Wang Wei unintentionally after taking a few hits on his body. The wooden sword couldn't bear the strength of the two, and it broke directly at the first hit.

Wang Wei had already cultivated his true qi, and he hit the head of an ordinary person with all his strength, which ranged from bleeding to blood, and severely killed him.

Lin Xiuyuan thought that he was dazzled by Xue Ning'er's beauty, so jealous, he lost his mind and forgot the severity of the attack.

But Xue Ning'er said that the two of them didn't know each other well, and Wang Wei never pursued her.

In other words, Wang Wei's jealousy was just a pretense, and he was targeting himself from the very beginning.

Lin Xiu didn't know if the former Uncle Ping'an's son had offended this person. Even if he had offended him, what kind of enmity did the two of them have to deserve such cruelty in his martial arts class?

Or, he is an extreme fan of his fiancée, and he doesn't want the goddess to marry him, so he plans to get rid of Lin Xiu?

Lin Xiu never thought that Wang Wei wanted to marry Zhao Lingjun, not because he didn't like Wang Wei, but because Wang Wei was unworthy.

At this time, Lin Xiu thought of more than that.

Was the assassination that night also related to this person?

After the assassin's death, all the clues came to an abrupt end, and the Inspectorate couldn't find anything, and the file of the case had been sealed, but in Lin Xiu's mind, this matter had not passed.

After all, the person hiding in the dark wanted his life...

If she hadn't accidentally mentioned that Wang Wei had never pursued him while chatting with Xue Ning'er, Lin Xiu might have always thought that this was an incident caused by jealousy.

Wang Wei's disguise was very good, but it's a pity that he still showed his flaws.

At this time, Li Baizhang came over, looked at the invitation card in Lin Xiu's hand, and sighed: Brother Lin is so amazing, he even got the invitation card for Miss Ning'er's birthday party.

Lin Xiu looked at him and asked, Didn't she send you off?

Li Baizhang glanced at him resentfully, and said: Brother Lin, what you said hurt people. There are so many people in the martial arts class, and you are the only one who got this invitation. I'm afraid it will be overcrowded...

When Lin Xiu heard this, she couldn't help but sigh for the other male compatriots in the martial arts class.

Lick the dog lick the dog, lick until the end, nothing.

They usually follow Xue Ning'er's saddle, come and go as soon as they are called, but in the end, they can't even get a birthday invitation...

Lin Xiu glanced in a certain direction and asked, Isn't Wang Wei there too?

Li Baizhang said: Wang Wei's father is the Marquis of Guang'an, and he is also a third-class marquis. He should have had an invitation card, but he challenged you last time, didn't he fail? According to the bet, he will stay away from Miss Ning'er in the future. , even if Miss Ning'er gave it to him, would he have the face to accept it?

Lin Xiu looked at Li Baizhang and said in surprise, Brother Li seems to know the dignitaries in the capital very well.

Li Baizhang smiled and said: It's natural. Where is the king's capital, there are rich and powerful people everywhere. If ordinary people like us don't know them, if we accidentally offend someone, I'm afraid we won't know how to die.

Li Baizhang's words are correct, but they are not rigorous.

Not only ordinary people, even if some of them offend more powerful dignitaries, it will not end well.

At this time, Li Baizhang suddenly asked again: I wonder if Brother Lin has thought about any gift for Miss Ning'er?

Lin Xiu asked suspiciously, Ah, do you still want to give gifts?

Li Baizhang looked at him with strange eyes, and said, Brother Lin, do you think that going to the banquet is just eating and drinking for free?

These days, she is used to whoring for nothing. Lin Xiu really didn't think of this just now.

Now he's in a bit of trouble.

Xue Ning'er was born in a wealthy family, and she had never seen any good things. The things she gave were cheap, and she was a bit unhandy, and the things she gave were expensive, so Lin Xiu couldn't bear it.

After all, it was not easy for him to make money to support his family. The money he earned through exhaustion may not be as much as Xue Ning'er's pocket money. Lin Xiu had to think carefully about gifts that exceeded ten taels of silver.

What's more, he couldn't afford to lose this person even if he gave away a gift of more than a dozen taels.

It would be great if the gold hairpin and jade bracelets that the imperial concubine gave were still there, her jewelry are all good things, even if Xue Ninger is well-informed, she should not be able to resist the charm of those two things.

This thought just flashed through Lin Xiu's mind. He really couldn't bear to give that kind of good thing, that is, to give away spiritual sounds, to other women.

In the end, Lin Xiu looked down at the gilded invitation in her hand, and asked Li Baizhang, Tell me, is it too late for me to return this invitation?

Li Baizhang took a deep breath and said, Brother Lin, you are going too far...

He wanted to return what others could only wish for, as if he was a bit irrelevant, but Lin Xiu finally accepted the invitation.

Gifts still have to be given, but they need to save money, and how to give a gift that saves money and satisfies the girl is the basic skill of a qualified Neptune...

An hour later, today's martial arts class ended.

It also happened to be meal time, and the students who had just finished their training dragged their tired bodies out of the School of Different Arts, preparing to have a big meal to reward their overdrawn bodies.

Zhaiyuelou is the restaurant with the best business in the capital recently. Driven by the herd mentality, most students choose this place. Although the consumption here is very expensive, everyone comes from rich families and doesn't care about the money.

Only Wang Wei and a few others walked straight past the gate of the Yueyue Tower and entered another restaurant not far away.

This was a normal thing, maybe the dishes in the Yueyue Building were not to the taste, or maybe it was because the people in the Yueyue Building were noisy, and no one cared about them.

Except Lin Xiu.

He raised his head and watched Wang Wei walk into Tianxiang Tower with a thoughtful expression...

Li Baizhang patted him on the shoulder and said, Go in, brother Lin, you invited me last time, this time I'll invite you...
