Don’t Show the Son

Rui Hermitage.

In the palace courtyard, Princess Minghe was lying on the stone table, her shoulders undulating slightly, sobbing softly.

No matter how talented and noble her status was, she was only a seventeen-year-old girl.

Lian experienced several setbacks, and her psychological defense finally collapsed.

Not only did he fail to make a breakthrough, he also owed others 300,000 taels of silver in vain.

Three hundred thousand taels, how would she pay it back?

Lin Xiu stood beside him with a helpless expression on her face. People who didn't know might think that he bullied her.

He still had two Yuan Jing in his hand, but Lin Xiu didn't take them out. If these two Yuan Jing still can't let her break through, it will hit her even harder. In the current situation, it's better to stop the loss in time.

And according to his experience, her luck was too bad, and it would be useless to give her two more.

He could only pat her on the shoulder, and comforted her in a low voice: Don't be sad, as long as you break through before the Dabi, it's not too late, wait for me in the palace tomorrow, I will go to draw lots with you...

When she walked out of Ruidong Palace, Lin Xiu had a look of melancholy.

Three Tier 5 Yuanjing can be sold for 400,000 taels of silver. A year ago, 40 taels of silver would have stretched the entire Lin family, and 400,000 taels was in vain. It was impossible for him not to feel distressed.

As for Princess Minghe's talk about repaying the debt, Lin Xiu actually didn't take it to heart.

If he could give it to her, he didn't expect her to pay it back.

Money is something outside of the body, he has not touched the hundreds of thousands of taels of silver notes he got from the crown prince, he has no shortage of silver, of course friendship is more important than silver.

Not only can't mention money, but also have to comfort her.

On the way out of the palace, Lin Xiu bumped into Zhu Jin unexpectedly. Zhu Jin walked up quickly and asked, Your Majesty just told me about you, how did you do with that matter?

Lin Xiu was stunned for a moment, and asked, What matter?

Zhu Jin's face darkened, and he said: It seems that you didn't take the task that His Majesty entrusted to you, girl from Fusang Kingdom, when will you be able to take it?

Lin Xiucai remembered that there was still such a thing.

He looked at Zhu Jin and asked, Is Your Majesty serious?

Zhu Jindao: Nonsense, no joke, will Your Majesty joke with you? It is a good thing for you to marry her, both privately and publicly, for you and the country.

The dog emperor actually came for real, but Lin Xiu is not such a casual person. Apart from being interested in Qin Wan, he fell in love with Qin Wan at the first sight. purpose?

He said perfunctorily to Zhu Jin: I know, I know, I will work hard...

Returning from the palace to the new house, Lin Xiu knocked on Chiba Rin's door, then walked in and asked, Miss Chiba, are you still used to living here?

Qianye Lin was wiping her long knife. When she saw Lin Xiu walking in, she put down the knife, smiled slightly, and said, Ms. Zhao and Ms. Qin both take good care of me. I'm causing you trouble...

Lin Xiudao: We are all friends, you are welcome.

Then he asked again: Have you caught the murderer who assassinated you last time?

Chiba Rin shook her head and said, The Great Xia court is investigating, but there is no result.

Lin Xiudao: Last time he failed in action, he probably won't do it lightly again, but you still have to be careful, if you find anything wrong, you must tell me as soon as possible...

Chiba Rin nodded and said, Thank you son for taking care of me, I will.

Lin Xiu chatted with her for a few words, then walked out.

The two were not very familiar with each other, and she was very polite, and the atmosphere was easy to be cold. Besides, Lin Xiu just came to say hello, not to pick up girls.

Lingyin is not at home right now, so she doesn't know what to do.

It's a good opportunity.

Lin Xiu came to Qin Wan's room. Qin Wan was reading a book. Her ability needs imagination the most. She needs to read a lot of books. This is also the source of her rich theoretical experience.

After Lin Xiu came to her room, she stopped reading, but stood up, walked to the door, and closed the door.

She walked forward slowly, pressed Lin Xiu against the wall, whispered into his ear, and said, I know you're not here at night, but now, you belong to me...

Qin Wan is a little strange today, she hugged Lin Xiu very hard, as if trying to fuse the two bodies together.

Lin Xiu sensed her abnormal emotions, held her face, and asked, What's wrong?

Qin Wan didn't answer, but rested her head on Lin Xiu's chest and said, Hold me tight.

Lin Xiu hugged her tightly without any extra movements, the two could feel each other's heartbeat.

In the room, the two hugged each other tightly, Lin Xiu hugged her soft body, and the atmosphere was quiet and harmonious.

This quietness was broken after Lingyin came back. She stood outside the door, wondering: It's strange, it's broad daylight, what are you doing with the door closed?

After her words fell, the door opened, and Lin Xiu walked out of the room, saying, I'm going back to the wedding residence, and we'll go to the school grounds together the day after tomorrow...

Regardless of Lingyin's staring eyes, he immediately left here.

Zhao Lingyin clenched her small fists, she had only left for a while, they must have closed the door again to do bad things, the lip balm on his mouth hadn't had time to wipe off, why couldn't he resist Qin Wan's temptation at all?

Zhao Lingyin glanced at Qin Wan, but she didn't know what method she used. Although she felt sore in her heart, she was still a little curious.

...

The next day, Lin Xiu and Caiyi got up very late. After breakfast, he went to the Changchun Palace first, checked the condition of the spiritual pet, saw that it had no abnormalities except lethargy, and stayed in the Changchun Palace for a while, Only then bid farewell to the imperial concubine.

When passing Ruidong Palace, Lin Xiu stood on the palace road and waited for a while.

After a while, Princess Minghe came out from the palace and said to him, Let's go.

She doesn't look very well, with some dark circles and swollen eyes. She may have cried under the covers last night. This is normal. If it were Lin Xiu, his mentality might collapse.

In terms of talent, Princess Minghe is no worse than Lingyin Qin Wan and Ning'er, and even slightly better.

She is only seventeen years old, one year younger than Lingyin, so there is no need to doubt her talent.

But luck is really bad.

Three Yuanjing, not to mention failing to break through, still owed him 300,000 taels of silver.

Qin Wan only owed him 10,000 taels, so she had to spend her whole life to repay it. As a creditor, Lin Xiu didn't even know what Princess Minghe could use to repay it.

Of course, it was impossible for him to take the initiative to mention the three hundred thousand taels of silver, and the two of them walked to the Department of Magic in silence. Princess Minghe didn't speak, and neither did Lin Xiu.

Among all the people around him, only he and Princess Minghe needed to draw lots.

Lingjun Lingyin, Qin Wanninger and the others are the seed players of the earth rank, and the imperial court will not allow them to meet in the first two rounds, so their lottery has been arranged long ago, and there is no need to draw again.

Each competition, there will be 800 people participating.

The vast majority of them are not strong, and they can't even be called geniuses, but the significance of Xiaobi and Dabi lies not only in competition, but also in communication.

This is a rare event, where young people from all over the world exchange different skills and learn martial arts, which contains a spirit of hard work and progress.

Instead, the five great dynasties used this to divide their interests, making the competition fall into a cliché.

When Lin Xiu and Princess Minghe came to the Department of Abnormal Arts, there were already many people queuing up here, but they were from Daxia Academy of Abnormal Arts, and they were all members of Tianzi Academy, so naturally there was a special channel without queuing.

After taking out the signboard of Tianziyuan, someone brought them to a wooden box covered with a black cloth and said, You two, please draw your lottery numbers.

Lin Xiu looked at Princess Minghe, and she gave Lin Xiu a look, signaling him to smoke first.

Lin Xiu didn't care, as long as he didn't meet Zhao Lingjun, he had nothing to worry about.

Of course, he didn't want to meet Lingyin, Qin Wan, Ning'er and the others. It's not that he couldn't beat them, but no matter who won, he didn't want to see them.

Lin Xiu prayed silently in her heart, reached into the box, and took out a wooden stick.

He glanced at the top of the wooden sign and wrote a number.

one hundred and nine.

Lin Xiu breathed a sigh of relief.

fine.

The 800 contestants will be divided into 400 groups. The numbers on the wooden sticks also range from 1 to 400. Each number corresponds to a pair of lots. Those who draw the same number will be the winners of this round. opponent.

Those seed players at the ground level, the number of draws is from one to the back row, which is set at the beginning, so they will not meet each other.

But the rest of the people who got these lots were out of luck.

As far as Lin Xiu knew, Lingjun was the number one lottery, Qianye Lin was the number two lottery, Qin Wan was the number five lottery, Lingyin and Ning'er were the number seven and eighth lottery respectively. In a round of competition, the opponents they will face are them.

The lottery that Lin Xiu drew was one hundred and nine, so it definitely couldn't be a land rank.

After he finished drawing, it was Princess Minghe's turn.

Princess Minghe took a deep breath, stepped forward, and pulled out a stick from the wooden box.

She has already figured it out, just like Lin Xiu comforted her, it's okay if she doesn't make a breakthrough for a while, as long as she can get a place in the Grand Competition, she is confident that she will successfully break through to the ground level within the next six months.

She could only comfort herself in this way.

However, when she glanced at the signed number, the expression on her face froze.

Seeing her different expression, Lin Xiu thought to herself, could it be that her luck is really so bad?

He looked up, then stayed where he was.

On her signature, a nine was written.

single-digit sign.

Her opponent is an earth-ranked seed.

Lin Xiu didn't know how to comfort her at the moment.

The house leaks happen to rain all night, and the boat is late and encounters the headwind.

Blessings never come, but misfortunes never come singly.

Failed to break through the ground level, but still drew an opponent from the ground level, even he felt that Minghe was too miserable.

Lin Xiu looked at the official of the Anomaly Division and asked, Can we draw lots again?

The official shook his head helplessly, and said: Sorry my lord, you can only draw once, what you get is what you get, and no one can change it, this is the rule...
