Don’t Show the Son

  Chapter 220

   In the room, Lin Xiu was leaning against the head of the bed, covered with two layers of quilts.

In fact, he is not cold, even if it is cold, he can heat himself up to keep warm, but lying comfortably on the bed, Qin Wan sits on the edge of the bed, and the opportunity to feed the **** soup into his mouth one by one is not always possible. .

   Don't look at the two people kissing and hugging, Lin Xiu also tried her craft twice, but other than that, nothing happened to them.

   Whether it was kissing passionately or hugging each other, Qin Wan didn't even allow his hands to move around.

   He knew that this was her routine, but he couldn't be hard.

   Lin Xiu had a vague feeling that if she continued like this, he might really lose.

  She is a fairy.

   Qin Wan was feeding Lin Xiu spoonfuls, Zhao Lingyin stood at the door of the room and watched for a while, and finally couldn't help walking in and said, "I'll feed him, I made him look like this."

  Qin Wan said: "No, I still owe him a lot of money. If you feed him once, you can save ten pennies."

   Zhao Lingyin looked at Qin Wan, she knew what this woman thought.

   Qin Wan owed Lin Xiu 10,000 taels of silver, and she would have to pay it back for several lifetimes.

   She just depends on him.

   But, what can you do with yourself?

   Sister is not qualified to manage her, and she is even less qualified.

   She is just a little regretful now. Why did she try to be brave just now? If she doesn't show her power and insists on proving that she is better than him, Qin Wan will not have a chance.

But she does hope that she is better than Lin Xiu, perhaps because the person who needed her protection in the past has gradually overtaken her, causing a gap in her heart, or perhaps because she wants to be the same as before and can always protect him... …

  After drinking the **** soup, Lin Xiu wrapped herself in the quilt and thought about one thing.

   He didn't understand the detailed rules of Xiaobi before, but he just felt that it was not easy to get a place to enter the big competition with his strength.

   After Xiaobi, there is still half a year left before Dabi. During this half year, he slowly raised his cultivation to the ground level, and it was too late.

   But now there is a problem.

   During the small competition, the ground rank had a protection mechanism, which would not let them be eliminated in the first two rounds, but the Xuan rank did not. The minimum requirement for participating in the competition was the Xuan rank.

   If he encounters Zhao Lingjun in the first or second round, or a seed player who has been promoted to the rank for several years, he may overturn.

   No wonder Princess Minghe has been depressed these days. She has not made a breakthrough yet. Just like Lin Xiu, if she encounters Zhao Lingjun or another strong person in the lottery, she will be eliminated in the first round, and she is not even qualified to participate in the competition.

  On the stage, they are treated equally, and under the watchful eyes of the public, even Emperor Xia cannot openly specialize.

   She can't, let alone Lin Xiu.

To be honest, this rule is very cruel, especially for those who are at the peak of the upper realm of the profound rank. If they are unlucky, they will lose the opportunity to participate in the big competition in the first game. Some weaker than them, if they draw weaker opponents. , but can easily advance.

   But for the court, those young geniuses on the ground are the hope of Dabi. Below the ground, they are their stepping stones. There is no difference between Xiaobi being eliminated and Dabi being eliminated.

Lin Xiu seldom does things that are uncertain, even if the risk is small, but it always exists. At this time, there is still a month left before Xiaobi. If you can sneak into the country of Leidu Java where Li Baizhang is practicing, you may not be able to be in front of Xiaobi. breakthrough.

After making a decision in her heart, Lin Xiu came to Xue's house.

Xue Laoguo did not let him have too close contact with Ning'er. He couldn't control the two of them cultivating together. He and Ning'er were feeding each other in the yard, but the moves were soft and weak, not like they were practicing. It's like flirting.

   Lao Guogong Xue was sitting at the stone table. Although the expression on his face was not good, he didn't say anything.

  Lin Xiu asked: "Ning'er, have you been to the Department of Different Techniques to register?"

  Xue Ning'er said, "I went there this morning."

   She slapped Lin Xiu lightly on Lin Xiu's chest, took the opportunity to touch his chest muscles secretly, and suddenly asked, "You said, will we meet during the competition? What if we meet?"

   She just likes to think wildly, Lin Xiu replied: "Although it is unlikely, it cannot be completely ruled out."

  Xue Ning'er said with a smile: "If I meet you, I will admit defeat."

   It doesn't matter whether she wins or not, but Lin Xiu must not lose, she is still waiting for him to win the big competition to marry her.

   Old Duke Xue coughed heavily and said, "If you dare to admit defeat, the old man will take back his previous promise. If he wants to marry you, he will show his true ability and marry you in an upright manner. Don't let the old man take it lightly!"

  Lin Xiu squeezed Xue Ning'er's hand and said, "Don't worry, there are 800 people participating in the competition. It's not so coincidental, it just happened to let us meet."

  Lin Xiu and Ning'er chatted while feeding tricks, and learned that the Xue family participated in the competition this time, as well as her brothers.

   However, among them, none of them reached the ground level.

   Compared with other families, the Xue family does have no successors, so it is no wonder that old man Xue pinned his hopes on Ning’er.

Before leaving, Lin Xiu said to Ning'er, "This month, I may not be able to see you. I plan to go out to practice and find opportunities. Before Xiaobi, try to raise my cultivation to the ground level. more secure."

   Although Xue Ninger was a little reluctant, she still nodded and said, "You said, if the relationship lasts for a long time, it won't be day and night, I'll wait for you to come back."

   She secretly kissed Mr. Xue on the face when he didn't see him.

   When Lin Xiu left Xue Mansion, a voice suddenly came from behind: "Stop."

  Lin Xiu turned around, and Lao Guogong Xue handed over a palm-sized jade box and said, "Take it."

   "This is..." Lin Xiu took the jade box, opened it, and found a fifth-order Yuanjing inside. He quickly said, "Elder Xue, this is too precious..."

   Lao Guogong Xue waved his hand and said, "Ning'er is already on the ground, this thing is no longer needed, and the rest of the family can't support the wall with mud, so it's a waste to give them, you can keep it for use."

   Fifth-order exotic beasts are easy to kill, but Yuanjing is rare, and even the royal family has no extras. This gift is as light as nothing, but it weighs ten thousand pounds.

   Old Guogong Xue glanced at Lin Xiu and said, "I have only one granddaughter, don't let her down..."

  To this day, he has completely regarded Lin Xiu as his own.

  Originally, for the granddaughter of the dignified and powerful, the second-class Duke of Daxia, to marry someone else as a concubine, he was resistant and unacceptable.

   Later, he thought that his wife was Zhao Lingjun.

   For anyone else, he may not agree.

   But if it is Zhao Lingjun, Ning'er is not wronged.

Of course, what's more important is that Lin Xiu's performance has been remarkable these days. Apart from being too non-specific, there seems to be no other shortcomings. As long as he can treat Ning'er well and Ning'er can be happy, That's all...

After    left Xue Mansion, Lin Xiu came to Changchun Palace.

   In the past few months, he has left Beijing more and more times. This time, I am afraid that he will not be in the capital for another month. Naturally, he must not forget to tell the imperial concubine.

   The imperial concubine is painting in the palace courtyard. She has nothing to do in Changchun Palace on weekdays. When she is bored, she will use these things to relieve her loneliness.

   After hearing Lin Xiu finish, she said in a melancholy tone, "I'm leaving again..."

  Lin Xiu said: "I have prepared a gift for the empress. When I come back, it should be ready soon."

She originally heard that Lin Xiu was going to leave for a month, and she was still a little disappointed, but she heard that Lin Xiu had prepared a gift for her, and she had to prepare a full month. My heart is full of anticipation.

  Lin Xiu didn't say much, just said: "The Empress will know when the time comes."

   He didn't plan to tell her so early, but planned to give her a surprise, but when he thought that he was away this month, he still gave her some expectations. As long as people have expectations, they will not feel that life is so boring.

Lin Xiu didn't tell her, and the imperial concubine didn't ask questions. She asked Linglong to remove the half-painted peony picture and said to Lin Xiu, "Sit there, this palace will paint a picture for you and Nan Nan, you are not here. These days, if she misses you, this palace will let her see the painting..."

  Lin Xiu was sitting on a stone bench, holding a spiritual pet in his arms, the imperial concubine stood not far away, watched for a while, and then slowly started writing.

  Lin Xiu sat bored and had a conversation with the little guy "Meow Meow Meow".

   Both he and the concubine wanted to send the little guy home, but he was too young to know where his home was.

Lin Xiu once found in a book called "The Chronicles of Alien Beasts" in the Library of the Alien Arts Academy, that it is very similar to an alien beast called Yunyihu. This alien beast generally only lives in the territory of alien beasts. Rarely seen in human nations.

On the mainland, humans occupy almost all the plains. The sea people generally live deep in the bottom of the sea. The poor mountains and swamps, and the virgin forests are mostly the territory of alien beasts. The tide hits the human city, and many cute alien beasts will become people's spiritual pets. Once they leave their habitat, it is almost impossible to go back.

   After an unknown amount of time, the imperial concubine put down her pen and said, "Okay."

  Lin Xiu walked over with her spiritual pet in her arms, and was startled when she saw the painting of the noble concubine.

   The people on the picture are vivid and the expressions are even more expressive. He only knew that Niangniang painted the scenery very well, but he did not expect that she was better at painting people.

She took the painting into a palace, and Lin Xiu followed her in, and found that the walls of the palace were covered with paintings. There were many, many, hundreds of them, including scenery and people. Most of the scenery was Jiangnan landscape.

   Among those portraits, Lin Xiu saw the Empress Dowager, the Emperor Xia, Linglong and Shuangshuang, and a dozen more pictures of spiritual pets, which should have been drawn when she was idle and bored.

   Painting is to pass the time. It can be seen how lonely she has been in this harem for more than ten years.

When    left Changchun Palace, a figure ran out from the palace next to it, Princess Minghe said: "You are leaving again, what should I do if you are gone?"

   She climbed a tree to eavesdrop just now, and Lin Xiu said: "You can find Lingyin to practice. Before I leave, I will tell her that it won't take long every day anyway, and she will help you."

   Princess Minghe shook her head and said, "I don't want to practice with her."

   Over the years, they have always been on the same level. Now Zhao Lingyin has reached the rank, and she is still wandering in the mysterious rank. Seeing Zhao Lingyin makes her uncomfortable, and practicing with her makes her feel uncomfortable every day?

  Lin Xiu reluctantly said: "Then there is no way, I think double cultivation seems to have no effect on breaking the realm, so I want to go outside and try my luck..."

   Princess Minghe also knew this. They practiced together in the past few days, and her Yuan strength did not increase.

   She sighed softly, Zhao Lingyin, Qin Wan, Xue Ning'er, in the past few months, people around her have broken through to the ground level one after another, even the king and brother of Qin have broken through, and she is still lingering on the mysterious level...

   Fortunately, Lin Xiu was with her, which made her feel more comforted.

   A feeling of pity for the same disease arises spontaneously, even looking at him feels a lot more pleasing to the eye, and even thinks that he has a beautiful face, the more he looks, the better he looks, why didn't I notice it before...
