Don’t Show the Son

  Chapter 53 Breakthrough

Snapped!

  Just as a firework exploded in the sky, Lin Xiu did not hear what Xue Ning'er was saying, so she asked: "What did Miss Ning'er just say?"

   Xue Ning'er shook his head and said, "It's nothing."

  She feels a bit complicated at the moment.

  In the beginning, she just used Lin Xiu as a tool, a tool that would allow him to win against Zhao Lingjun, but getting along these days has made her feel a little shaken about her initial thoughts.

  The joy and joy of getting along with Lin Xiu was something she had never experienced before.

  His humor, sometimes mixed with some molesting she doesn’t dislike, what he says is always what she wants to hear, even the gifts to her are so ingenious...

  If she can be with such a person, she must be happy every day, right?

It's a pity that even such a man who understands her best will eventually be snatched by Zhao Lingjun.

  This deepens the jealousy in her heart and at the same time strengthens her initial belief.

  Even if he is Zhao Lingjun's man in the end, she does not want the people Zhao Lingjun gets.

  Yes, she wanted Lin Xiu to fall in love with her, and then refused him when everyone in the capital city knew everything.

  Xue Ning'er silently said sorry to Lin Xiu, and left Lin Xiu with some guilty excuse that there were some guests to entertain.

  Lin Xiu breathed a sigh of relief as she watched Xue Ning'er leave. Judging from Xue Ning'er's performance, he didn't give this gift wrong, and it didn't waste his thoughts on her.

  Lin Xiu has done in-depth research on women's psychology.

  If Xue Ning'er is not the jewel of the government, but only the children of poor people, then no matter whether it is giving jewelry or setting off fireworks, the effect of directly giving silver is not good.

  But her family is distinguished, and there is no shortage of valuable gifts. Naturally, fireworks are better.

   is not only romantic.

   and cheap.

  This city’s eye-catching fireworks show, but it only cost Lin Xiu tens of taels of silver. Although it was still beyond the budget, it was still within the price that he could afford.

  If he eats more, he may be able to eat back the cost.

  For this reason, Lin Xiu did not eat much during the day. When others were flattering Xue Ning's childhood, Lin Xiu was the only one who was eating intently.

  An hour later, tonight’s banquet finally ended.

  The guests left Xue Mansion one after another. When Yongping Hou’s son Yang Xuan and his servants were about to leave, a figure came from behind and stood side by side with him.

  Yang Xuan glanced at Lin Xiu and said, “Brother Lin’s gift is really ingenious. It’s obvious that Miss Ning'er likes it very much.”

  Lin Xiu showed a smile on her face, turned her head to look at Yang Xuan, and said in a low voice: "There is no one else here, in fact, you don't have to pretend like that."

  Yang Xuan's expression was slightly stagnant, then he laughed again, and said, "What is Brother Lin talking about, why can't I understand a word?"

Lin Xiu chuckled and said: "Don't pretend, you are behind the Tianxiang Tower. Wang Wei challenged me that day, and it was also your instruction. By the way, Qin Cong used to trouble me, was it also you? the meaning of?"

  Yang Xuan shrugged and said, “I really don’t know what you’re talking about.”

"I don't know." Lin Xiu shook her head and strode out of Xue Mansion. Then she turned her head back and smiled at Yang Xuan, and said in a low voice: "The plan was good, but the person I was looking for was not very reliable. I will continue to work hard in the future. In fact, I still I like to see how you can't understand me and can't get rid of me..."

  Looking at the back of Lin Xiu turning and leaving, Yang Xuan's expression was calm, the fists in his sleeves were already clenched, and the joints made a crisp sound.

  He glanced back and said in a deep voice: "How did he know!"

Qin Cong’s matter was clearly the two people who had grieved first. He only hinted at Qin Cong; Tianxiang Tower put pressure on it, and it was because of ice making on the bright side; Wang Weiwu Dao class secretly attacked and he did it. More cryptic, everything has a reasonable cause and effect, how did Lin Xiu find out about him?

An entourage behind him thought for a while, and said, “Although the son’s arrangements are very clever every time, most people will not doubt you easily, but if you are willing to check, it is not difficult to find out the Qin family, the Wang family, and the Tianxiang Tower. Our relationship, the son of Uncle Ping An, is probably not as stupid as the intelligence says..."

   "I really underestimated him." Yang Xuan's expression calmed down, and he quickly said: "I originally planned to let him be happy for a while. Since he is looking for death by himself, then he will be fulfilled..."

  The entourage hesitated and said, "My son, if you encounter the situation last time again, the palace will blame it..."

  Yang Xuan snorted coldly, and said, “His ability used to be useful to the palace, but I have let people investigate it. The palace hasn’t called him for a long time. This time, I think who else can save him?”

  The entourage asked, "Master already has arrangements?"

   Dealing with a small person, but several mistakes, Yang Xuan originally planned to stop for a period of time, and make a detailed and thorough plan to achieve a hit.

   But Lin Xiu's provocation tonight made him change his mind.

  He didn't want to wait for a moment, he just wanted to solve this heart disease quickly.

  He said coldly: "Let Dongchengling do it this time to make things cleaner. This time, I want this person to never turn over!"

  Leaving Xue Mansion, Lin Xiu returned home after a while.

  The new house of the Lin family is in the most prosperous area in the east of the city, not far from the imperial palace, and also very close to Xue Mansion.

The mansion houses of these powerful families in the royal capital are actually gathered together. This area is extremely tightly guarded. It can be described as one guard at five steps and one guard at ten steps. It is the safest place in the royal capital except the palace. place.

  Here, you can even go out at night without a guard.

  Except for the assassin whose abilities are hidden, almost no assassin would choose to do something here.

  For this reason, Lin Xiucai did not take Sun Dali, but let him prepare for the fireworks tonight.

  Not long after Lin Xiu returned home, Sun Dali also came back. As soon as he walked in, he asked: "Master, how is it? I didn't mess it up, did I?"

  Lin Xiu nodded, and said, "Yes, how about another thing I asked you to do?"

  Sun Dali handed a jade box to Lin Xiu, and said, “Don’t worry, you have already bought it.”

  Lin Xiu opened the jade box. There were ten translucent diamond-shaped crystals in the box. The volume of these crystals was far smaller than the one Lin Xiu saw in Xue Mansion tonight, but slightly larger than the ones he used in the palace.

  The imperial palace provided him with the elemental crystal used to restore his vitality. It came from the first-order strange beast. The one Xue Ninger received was the fifth-order strange beast. The Yuanjing in front of Lin Xiu belonged to the second-order strange beast.

The elementary crystal of the first-order monster is about ten taels of silver, and the price of each elementary crystal of the higher order is ten times the difference, and the elementary crystal of the fifth-order alien beast is as high as one hundred twenty-one, and there is still no market. The real transaction price is probably in the hundreds of thousands taels.

  The son of Qi State Government’s mansion, in order to pursue Xue Ning'er, it can be said that he has spent his money.

  Lin Xiu asked Sun Dali to buy these ten second-order alien beast element crystals for a total of 1,000 taels, which has already made him very painful.

  But for his plan, Lin Xiu must wake up again in a short time, and he can't take care of that much at this moment.

In one month in the palace, Lin Xiu absorbed more than two hundred crystals, which is worth more than two hundred days of cultivation under normal conditions. Coupled with the extreme pressure of Lingyin on him a few days ago, I am afraid he came here for a short time. In just two months, it is almost equivalent to one year of practice.

  At this time, the growth of the vitality in his body has been extremely slow, and even stagnated, which shows that he has encountered a bottleneck.

  The bottleneck is the precursor of another awakening.

  At this time, the Yuanjing of the first-order strange beast has no effect on his cultivation.

  What he needs is a higher-level Yuanjing.

   Relying on his own power to hit the barrier, although it is possible, but it will take a long time, and Lin Xiu has no time to wait any longer.

  He went back to the room alone, closed the door, sat cross-legged on the bed, took out a Yuanjing, held it in the palm of his hand, and then applied a little force.

  The next moment, a vitality that was ten times larger than what he had felt before, poured into his body from the palm of his hand.

  Lin Xiu let out a muffled snort, and her body shook uncontrollably, but she finally stabilised forcibly.

  His body is far beyond ordinary people, and he has been squeezed so many times by the limit of Lingyin. This level of pain can be tolerated.

  After a quarter of an hour, Lin Xiu slowly opened her eyes and sighed slightly, with some regrets: "Failed..."

The Yuanjing of a high-level monster can increase the probability of breakthrough, but it is not 100%, but only a 10% success rate. Lin Xiu still has nine opportunities. In terms of probability, as long as his luck is not too bad, For the remaining nine times, there will always be one success.

  Lin Xiu took out a Yuanjing again and held it in her hand.

  ...

  It's late at night.

  Lin Xiu hasn't slept yet.

  He sat cross-legged on the bed, looking at the last crystal in his hand, he was speechless for a while, saying good one-tenth probability, is this too dark?

The last crystal is left. If there is no breakthrough after it is used up, you will have to ask Sun Dali to buy it tomorrow. The crystal of the second-order monster is relatively not rare. As long as you have silver, you can still buy ten or eight. .

  After a while, Lin Xiu held the last crystal in her hand, hopeful, and closed her eyes again.

  One night, pass quietly.

  Early in the morning, after a few crisp crowings, the rhubarb in the kennel slowly opened his eyes.

  Looking at the big bones around him, Rhubarb swallowed a mouthful of saliva. Although many days have passed, he still feels like a dream when he thinks of these days.

  Since he was born, he has been wandering on the streets, not only has to endure the wind and rain, he has to eat a meal without a meal, and it is more common for him to be hungry for three days after a full meal.

  At that time, he never thought that one day he would have a nest of his own, with endless meat and bones every day. He felt that the dog’s life had reached its peak.

  At this moment, a voice suddenly reached his ears.

   "Rhubarb, come here."

  Rhubarb suddenly raised his head, his ears were erected, and the expression on the dog's face was extremely alert.

  He heard it right, right? He seemed to hear a dog talking just now.

  Is there a second dog in this yard?

  He looked around in a circle on the spot, and found no other dogs in the yard. Only the owner was standing in the yard. Lin Xiu looked at Rhubarb without moving her lips, but there was a voice directly in Rhubarb's mind.

  "Stop looking, I am here."

  Rhubarb finally realized something, looking up at Lin Xiu, the dog's eyes suddenly widened.
