Chapter 78
Zhao Lingyin walked in front of Lin Xiu, looked at Princess Minghe calmly, and said, What do you want to rush at me, what kind of skill is bullying the weak?
To be honest, the word weak made Lin Xiu feel a little worried.
But Lingyin was telling the truth.
In front of him and Princess Minghe, what is he if he is not weak?
Princess Minghe glanced at Zhao Lingyin, turned around and left without another word.
Lin Xiu stepped forward quickly and asked, Lingyin, when did you come back?
Zhao Lingyin said: This morning.
She glanced at Lin Xiu and asked, How many yuan crystals did you use?
Unexpectedly, she saw through her breakthrough method at a glance, Lin Xiu said embarrassedly: Ten yuan.
Prodigal. Zhao Lingyin frowned and said, Ten pieces of second-order alien beast crystals cost at least one thousand taels of silver. If you wait for me to come back, you can awaken successfully within ten days at most.
Lin Xiu just smiled and said, A lot of things happened during the month you were away.
During Lingyin's absence, a lot of things did happen. If he didn't spend a thousand taels of silver to improve his animal language ability by one level, he might not be exiled, but Yang Xuan.
Zhao Lingyin sneered and said: Yes, during the time I was away, many things did happen. When I came here just now, I heard that you gave Xue Ning'er a pair of beautiful earrings. How beautiful are they?
This... Lin Xiu's heart tightened. Lingyin's information was too well-informed. He knew about the earrings he gave Xue Ning'er just after he came back. When I thought about it, if I gave it to you, you would keep it for your sister, so I changed my mind.
Zhao Lingyin looked at him, frowned, and said, My sister is your future wife. Is there any problem with giving your future wife a gift?
Lin Xiu asked back: But didn't you already leave two for her? It was originally something I gave you, but you gave it to someone else. Don't you think it's wrong to give someone else a gift from you? Is that an impolite thing?
Zhao Lingyin said angrily: She is not someone else...
Lin Xiu also laughed at herself: Yeah, at least I won't be assassinated because of others, and I almost never see you again.
Assassination? Zhao Lingyin's complexion changed, and he asked, What assassination?
Lin Xiu said calmly: About half a month after you left, I was assassinated again. If it wasn't for luck, I would have been pierced through. I'm just a small person, and I've never offended anyone. Who wants to put me to death over and over again?
Zhao Lingyin looked at him nervously and asked, Are you okay?
Lin Xiudao: It's okay, I'm lucky, the sword just passed through my shoulder, but next time, I'm afraid I won't be so lucky.
Zhao Lingyin shook her head and said: There will be no next time, I will protect you by your side.
Lin Xiu sighed and asked, Do I have to marry your sister?
Zhao Lingyin took a look at him and said, The marriage contract is a witness, which is related to the reputation of the two families.
Lin Xiu thought for a while, and asked tentatively: When the two old gentlemen made their marriage agreement, we were not there yet. They just said that our two families were going to get married. Is there such a possibility? I mean, if, if I marry you Does the other daughter of the Zhao family also count as a marriage?
Another daughter? Zhao Lingyin thought for a while, then frowned and said, Besides my sister and me, the Zhao family doesn't have another daughter. Who are you talking about?
Lin Xiu waved her hand and said, No, forget it if you don't have it, just pretend I didn't say it...
It was only a short journey back to the Lin Mansion from the Academy of Altered Arts, but Zhao Lingyin still insisted on sending Lin Xiu home.
Walking side by side with Lin Xiu on the street, Zhao Lingyin suddenly said, Stay away from Xue Ning'er in the future.
Lin Xiu asked, Why?
Zhao Lingyin said angrily: Why are you so stupid, can't you really see what Xue Ning'er is thinking?
Lin Xiu pretended to be surprised and asked, What do you mean?
Zhao Lingyin gritted her teeth and said: You are my sister's fiancé, if you are fascinated by Xue Ning'er, what will others think of my sister, do you think Xue Ning'er likes you, she is just using you, she can't even see this, He deserves to be manipulated by others.
During this wave, Lingyin thought Lin Xiu was in the basement, but in fact he was in the atmosphere.
Between him and Xue Ning'er, someone is indeed using another person, and someone is indeed being manipulated, but that person is not Lin Xiu.
Don't look at Lin Xiu now saying Miss Ning'er and Miss Ning'er, calling her kindly, after she gets her abilities, hehe...
Of course, this reason cannot be told to Lingyin.
In front of her, Lin Xiu still pretended to be an innocent little virgin who didn't understand anything, and he said unexpectedly: Ah, no way, why do you think so, we are just good friends, isn't Miss Ning'er People like that...
Zhao Lingyin's chest heaved unceasingly, and she was about to die of anger from Lin Xiu.
These men only have Xue Ning'er's beauty in their eyes, and they don't know Xue Ning'er's methods at all. Maybe one day they will be sold by her, and they will count the money for her.
She was about to expose Xue Ning'er's true face for Lin Xiu, but suddenly her expression changed and she turned around abruptly. At the same time, the surrounding ground began to freeze rapidly.
When this ice layer encounters most pedestrians, they will automatically avoid it, except for an old beggar.
The ice layer reached his feet in an instant, and then spread upwards. With the effort of two breaths, the old beggar was frozen into an ice sculpture.
Zhao Lingyin guarded Lin Xiu behind her, and said in a deep voice, This person has been following us since he came out of the School of Different Arts. You stand behind me and don't go far.
When passers-by saw this scene, they scattered in panic, and the old man who was frozen by the spirit sound suddenly had a trace of gold on his body.
The golden color quickly spread all over his body, turning him into a golden man. Afterwards, the golden man moved his hands and feet, and the ice layer outside his body was all shattered.
At this moment, a shopkeeper carrying a load not far behind the old beggar also suddenly pulled out the pole and stood beside the old man. The pole was actually made of fine steel. There was a voice like a tearing silk, which must have been infused with true energy.
This peddler is obviously a strong martial arts expert.
Zhao Lingyin's complexion changed slightly, and she immediately said to Lin Xiu: They still have accomplices, you go first!
As soon as the words fell, a spear of ice had already condensed in her hand, and she confronted those two people at a distance, and the battle was imminent.
This scene seems to be very long, but in fact it only happened in a short moment. After Lin Xiu realized it, she quickly said: Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, they are secret agents sent by His Majesty to protect me, my own people, my own people...
Zhao Lingyin froze for a moment and asked, Is what you said true?
Lin Xiu said helplessly: Of course it's true. Which assassin dares to assassinate here after eating the bear's heart and leopard's courage?
This is the main street of Dongcheng, and the imperial palace is just a few hundred meters in front. There is a post at ten steps, and a post at five steps. Even the strongest of the heavens dare not make trouble here, let alone two little assassins?
Almost at the same time as the conflict broke out, a dozen or so armored figures rushed towards us not far away, and the guards patrolling the streets surrounded beggars and shopkeepers, and if they made any movement, they would be killed immediately .
The two immediately took out a sign from their waists and threw it to the chief of the imperial guards. The old beggar said: The secret investigation department is carrying out its mission. You have nothing to do here. Continue to be on duty.
The chief of the imperial guard carefully examined the token, then stepped forward, offered it with both hands, and said, I've offended you.
Then, he led his men to leave directly.
The secret investigation department is directly under His Majesty, and they often carry out confidential and urgent missions. They only need to show their identities, and they don't need to tell them the content of the mission.
At this moment, the old beggar stepped forward, looked at Lin Xiu in surprise, and asked, Boy, how do you know that we are your protectors?
Lin Xiu smiled and said, Boss Zhu told me that during this time, there will be secret agents to protect me personally.
The old beggar asked puzzled, When did you find us?
Lin Xiudao: It's your first day in the Lin Mansion.
The old beggar was even more puzzled: Did you know that we were secret agents on the first day?
Lin Xiu shook her head and said, I'm not sure at first, but the pancakes made by this spy are really, really special and have to be doubted, so...
Hearing the words, the old beggar looked sullen, looked at the peddler, and said, I asked you to change your identity, but if you didn't change, you would be discovered by others on the first day. It's really embarrassing to the spy!
You don't have to be ashamed, you are not being followed by someone and told you not to get so close, you say you have a sense of proportion, you have a sense of ass!
...
The two quarreled in the street, Lin Xiu and Zhao Lingyin ignored them and continued walking towards the Lin residence.
On the way, Lin Xiu asked curiously, Lingyin, how did you conjure that gun just now?
I have to say that the way she conjured up an ice spear out of thin air just now is very handsome, and Lin Xiu also wants to learn it.
Zhao Lingyin glanced at him, and said: Using Bing Ning as a weapon requires a high level of ability control. You can learn it slowly when you awaken again, and I will teach you when the time comes.
Back in the Lin Mansion, Uncle Ping'an and his wife were pleasantly surprised by Lingyin's arrival.
After some courtesies, Zhou Yun was silent for a moment, and said to Lingyin: Lingyin, have your parents returned to the capital?
Zhao Lingyin nodded and said, I came back with them this morning.
Uncle Ping'an and his wife looked at each other, and Zhou Yun continued, My father Lin Xiu and I are going to pay a visit to the Zhao Mansion today. When Lingyin returns to the mansion, please let your parents know.
Zhao Lingyin nodded and said, Okay, I'll go back and tell them now.
After Lingyin left, Lin looked at Uncle Ping'an and his wife and asked, Father, mother, are you going to the Zhao family to divorce?
Zhou Yun nodded and said: During this period, your father and I have considered for a long time. Whether it is the reputation of the Lin family or the Zhao family, in the hearts of parents, they are not as important as your safety. I ask you to achieve something, as long as you live a safe and happy life.
A warm current surged in Lin Xiu's heart, and she asked with a smile, Shall I go with you?
Zhou Yun shook his head and said, It's fine for me to go with your father. You can stay at home. It's not easy for you juniors to come forward for such things.
Lin Xiu thought for a while and said, I'd better go with you. After all, I'm the reason for the divorce. It's more convincing for me to go with you.
The two thought about it for a while, and felt that what Lin Xiu said was also reasonable. About half an hour later, the family of three got into the carriage and headed towards the Zhao Mansion.
Zhao's Mansion is a first-class Marquis's Mansion, and its location is also in Dongcheng, but it is some distance from Lin's Mansion.
About a quarter of an hour later, the carriage stopped in front of the gate of the Zhao Mansion. After Sun Dali asked the porter to inform him, several figures greeted him from the mansion soon after.
Lin Xiu knew Lingyin's father, but it was the first time he saw the woman next to him. She must be Lingyin's mother. When she was young, she was also an out-and-out beauty.
Of course, Mrs. Zhao is also very beautiful now, but she is a kind of gentle and virtuous beauty. Compared with Mrs. Zhao's gentleness, Lingyin is too cold and arrogant. Just from the first impression, Lin Xiu even doubts whether Lingyin is Zhao Fu picked it up.
Marquis Wu'an and his wife welcomed the family of three enthusiastically. When Lin Xiu walked into the Zhao residence, she found that the residence of the Zhao family was much more grand than the Lin residence. This is the Yiwaihou Mansion, one of the families standing at the pinnacle of Daxia's power.
After entering the main hall, after the guests and hosts are seated, it is natural that some politeness is unavoidable.
After a long time, Zhou Yun took the initiative to turn to the topic, and said to Wu Anhou and his wife: My husband and wife came to your mansion this time because of the marriage contract between Lin Xiu and Ling Jun.
Marquis Wu An put down his teacup, smiled, and said, That's right, Lin Xiu and Ling Jun are not young anymore. Our original plan was to get them married as soon as possible after Ling Jun returned to the capital.
Zhou Yun shook his head and said: Marquis Wu'an misunderstood, Zhao's mansion is now a first-class mansion, and my Lin family has long since fallen, so I really dare not climb high. Why don't we just cancel that engagement?
Marquis Wu An was stunned for a moment, and then he said: What is the madam talking about, my Zhao family is not a villain who is following the trend, since I have already made this marriage contract, I will definitely not go back on my word, this point, you can do whatever you want rest assured.
At this time, Pingan Bo Linting finally spoke: Of course we know the integrity of the Zhao family, but to tell the truth, in the past two months, Xiu'er has been assassinated twice in a row, and she was even more nearly assassinated a few days ago. Lost her life, Miss Lingjun is the girl of heaven, there are countless families that Wang wants to marry Zhao's family, the Lin family really can't afford to offend, if this marriage contract is not cancelled, I don't know if there will be such an assassination How many……
Hearing the words, Marquis Wu'an straightened his expression, looked at Lin Xiu who was standing aside, and asked, Assassinate..., how is my nephew?
Lin Xiu smiled slightly and said, Thank you Uncle Zhao for your concern. Last time I was lucky, the sword avoided the vital point, and now I'm fine.
Marquis Wu An was silent for a moment, looked up at Uncle Ping'an and his wife, and said, I can understand the thoughts of parents, but to tell the truth, this marriage is no longer under the control of your two families.
Zhou Yun was puzzled and asked, Why?
Lin Ting seemed to realize something, his face changed, and he asked, Could it be...
Marquis Wu An nodded, and said, Yes, this is His Majesty's intention. Your Majesty hopes that Lin Xiu and Ling Jun can get married as soon as possible.
The recent update has been quite chaotic. Anyway, no matter whether it is one chapter, two chapters or three chapters, the promised 10,000 words within a week of being on the shelves will not be less. Sometimes I will update at night if I can’t finish writing during the day. After this week, I will try to fix a time as much as possible. This chapter is four thousand, and today it is still short of six thousand.
