Don’t Show the Son

The first fight against Zhao Lingjun ended in Lin Xiu's failure.

Lin Xiu thought that even if he was not Zhao Lingjun's opponent, he should be able to see the gap with her, but the fact is that he couldn't even see the gap clearly.

No amount of ability can make up for the gap in realm. The stronger the strength, the harder it is to defeat the enemy across borders.

Fortunately, he has plenty of time.

Zhao Lingjun and Lin Xiu rarely admitted their previous mistakes, and Lin Xiu also revealed her true inner thoughts to her, which eased their relationship a little.

At least when I'm with her, it's not as awkward as before.

The relationship between the two is neither husband and wife nor friends, Lin Xiu couldn't think of any words to sum it up for a while.

Perhaps, she was his wingman given by the heavens?

After all, no one can do better than her in stabilizing the harem.

Lingyin walked in from the outside, saw the two people in the yard, and said, "You are so self-willed, so many people look at you and leave as soon as you say..."

Lin Xiu asked, "What happened next?"

Zhao Lingyin gave him a blank look, and said: "You have left, and His Majesty has no choice but to announce that this match is a draw, and the two of you are tied for first place in the competition."

In fact, the two had already compared each other in private. Lin Xiu tried all her strength, but she couldn't touch Zhao Lingjun's body.

This tied for first place was made by Zhao Lingjun. Lin Xiu is not worthy of the name, she just ate her soft food.

Not long after Lingyin came back, Caiyi and the others also came back. Everyone went to watch their competition today, but Lin Xiu and Zhao Lingjun let them go.

After the competition ended, many people rushed to the streets of the capital.

Most of the people don't have spare money to watch the competition, so they can only listen to the news through other people's mouths.

"How about it, which of the couple won?"

"I didn't know before that her husband is also so powerful."

"I also want to go to see it live, but unfortunately I don't have the money..."

"What, didn't fight, the two eloped on the spot?"

"Fortunately, I didn't go to see it, otherwise the money would have been wasted..."

...

The contest between the couple was the focus of all attention. Many people bought tickets just to watch them, but they didn't see what they wanted to see, so they felt a little regretful.

However, it is understandable for a young couple who have only been married for half a year not to want to destroy the harmony of the family.

If Zhao Lingjun won, how would Lin Xiu, her husband, feel?

If Lin Xiu wins and makes Miss Zhao angry and won't let him go to bed at night, wouldn't he have won the competition and lost something more important?

Had they been Lin Xiu, they would probably have made the same choice.

This incident quickly became a good story among the common people.

Of course, apart from this couple, Xiaobi and some other people had outstanding performances this time.

Wuji, Nanzhao, Nanyue, and the Western Regions are small countries with insufficient resources, but with the power of the whole country, they can also cultivate a genius at the lower level. Among other countries, the most outstanding one is the thousand-year-old from the Fusang Kingdom. Ye Lin.

Daxia's national strength is countless times that of Fusang, but only Lin Xiu and his wife can surpass her.

She is young, extremely talented, and has outstanding looks. Many people even ridicule in private. If someone can marry her to Daxia, the credit is enough to confer a title.

In addition, the geniuses of Daxia also sprung up like mushrooms in this competition.

Lin Xiuzi doesn't need to say any more, the long-established genius who defeated many top powerful families and defeated Fusang Tianjiao, his true strength is still a mystery.

As soon as the competition was over, His Majesty made a decree to confer Lin Xiu's father, Ping'an Hou Lin Ting, as the second-class Ping'an Marquis.

In less than a year and a half, Lin Ting's title was promoted four times in a row, from a third-class uncle to a second-class marquis. Even Zhao Lingjun's father was not promoted so fast back then.

This means that another top noble family is rising in the capital.

I don't know how many small and powerful people who are about to decline are envious and jealous.

In addition to Lin Xiu, Qin Wan, Zhao Lingyin, Princess Minghe, Li Baizhang, Murongyu, these names are also familiar to ordinary people in the competitions.

Jian'anbo mansion, Jian'anbo and his wife looked remorseful.

The woman repented and said: "That little...she is so powerful. If she is still in the Qin family, will His Majesty raise the master's title by one level, maybe two levels..."

Jian Anbo said with a sullen face, "What's the use of saying this now, you forced Wan'er away. I was blind back then, so why did I marry you!"

The woman put her hands on her hips and scolded angrily: "Do you have the face to criticize me? Didn't you agree when you betrayed her?"

"If it wasn't for your son, would I agree?"

"Why, my son is not your son?"

...

Compared with the atmosphere in Jian'anbo Mansion, the wedding residence of Lin Xiu and Zhao Lingjun was full of laughter.

The competition was over, and shortly after Emperor Xia returned to the palace, the imperial decree arrived at the Lin residence.

Marquis Ping'an's title has been promoted to another level. Marquis Wu An said while playing chess with him, "Brother Lin gave birth to a good son. If this continues, you will be named Duke just around the corner..."

Lin Ting also smiled and said, "Brother Zhao also gave birth to two good daughters. I am afraid that in a few years, I will call you Lord Wu An."

The two marquises were flattering each other, while the two wives were sitting in the gazebo, looking at them with a smile.

Zhou Yun said with a smile: "It seems that they are proud. It is not because of Xiu'er and Lingjun's glory that they can have what they are today..."

Madam Wu Anhou also smiled, and said: "Let's not talk about them, I got a pair of bracelets yesterday, we each have one, you wear them to see if they fit..."

Lin Xiu and Zhao Lingjun watched them from a distance. The relationship between the husband and wife was average, but the two parents seemed to be getting closer.

Lin Xiu and Zhao Lingjun looked at each other. Although they didn't speak, they understood each other's intentions.

Lin Xiu needs Zhao Lingjun.

Zhao Lingjun also needs Lin Xiu.

They need to continue to maintain this illusion of affection.

Tonight, Emperor Xia held a dinner in the palace, and the geniuses from all over the world who passed Xiaobi were invited.

Lin Xiu looked at Zhao Lingjun and asked, "Shall we go together tonight?"

Zhao Lingjun nodded.

Lin Xiudao: "I will come to you that night."

A few hours before the dinner party, when Lin Xiu returned to the new house, she saw four figures standing at the door.

Jian Anbo and his wife, and the two brothers Qin Song and Qin Bai.

This couple still looks the same as before. Brothers Qin Song and Qin Bai changed a lot when they met Lin Xiu last time. They seemed to have lost a lot of weight, their faces were pale, and their eye sockets were sunken. I don’t know. What have you experienced during this time that you have become so haggard.

The woman looked at Qin Wan who was standing at the door, with a smile on her face, and said, "Wan'er, it was all our fault before, no matter what you say, your body is full of blood from the Qin family. Inseparable..."

Qin Wan looked at them with a smile and asked, "Excuse me, who are you?"

The faces of Jian Anbo and his wife changed, and Jian Anbo said angrily, "What are you talking about, Niu Nu!"

Qin Wan's complexion was getting colder, at this moment, a figure walked by, Lin Xiu looked at Jian Anbo, and said indifferently: "Have you forgotten that Wan'er is no longer a member of your Qin family, and the contract in black and white is still in my hand Li, do you want to admit it?"

Jian Anbo was startled when he saw Lin Xiu, but he finally summoned up his courage and said, "She is my daughter, I owe you money, and I will find a way to repay you, but you borrowed money to force others to take someone else's daughter by force. What is the difference between you and those tyrants, are you not afraid of being punished by heaven, are you not afraid of being chased and killed by righteous people, and you are not afraid that I will report your affairs to Your Majesty!"

Lin Xiu looked at him and asked, "You are going to sue me with His Majesty, but in your capacity, you may not be able to see His Majesty, otherwise, I will go with you..."

He was so confident, but Jian Anbo panicked, hesitating and speechless.

Lin Xiu is in the limelight, how could His Majesty punish him?

And he was right, he couldn't see His Majesty at all.

Lin Xiu hugged Jian Anbo's shoulders and whispered in his ear: "You are not a good person, and I am not a good person either. Wan'er is my woman now, and I can ignore what you did to her before. From now on, If you still dare to appear in front of her, I guarantee that your family will disappear in the capital, understand?"

Jian Anbo's shoulders hurt, and it felt like his bones were about to be broken. His forehead was sweating like rain, and he tremblingly said: "I know, I know..."

Lin Xiu let him go, and the family of four fled away.

Lin Xiu breathed a sigh of relief, the feeling of being a bully is as happy as ever.

It seemed that Qin Wan's mood was affected by the members of the Qin family. After returning to the courtyard, Qin Wan's mood has not been high.

In the yard, Lin Xiu hugged Qin Wan from behind, and said, "I have to attend a banquet tonight, don't be affected by them, think about happy things..."

Qin Wan looked back at him and said, "I can't think of anything happy, why don't we do something happy?"

...

At night, a certain hall in the middle palace was brightly lit.

His Majesty is hosting a banquet here tonight, and the two hundred geniuses from various countries who have passed Xiaobi have all been invited.

For them, this is a supreme honor, and it may be only once in this life.

In the great competition among nations, only the top 100 are selected on the Tianjiao list. Most of these places are occupied by the five great dynasties. For some geniuses from small countries, the small competition is the most glorious moment in their lives.

There are several rows of tables in the hall, and most people have already arrived in advance, sitting in their seats, looking at the figure seated in the front, eyes full of envy.

There are the positions of Xiaobi's top thirteen geniuses. If there is no accident, they will all be ranked in the list of Tianjiao after half a year.

And the two empty positions in the front belonged to Xiaobi No. 1 and No. 2 respectively.

This time Xiaobi, due to some unexpected circumstances, only tied for first place.

At a certain moment, there was a commotion in the direction of the entrance of the main hall.

Everyone looked over, and under their gaze, a young man and woman walked into the hall hand in hand, like a couple of gods and gods.
