After returning to Lin's mansion, Lin Xiu locked himself in the room and sat alone at the table, silent for a long time.

The first-class Marquis Mansion is too large for the current Lin family to be provoked.

Facing them head-on is like hitting a stone with an egg.

Not long ago, Lin Xiu could protect himself with the errand of making ice in the palace, but now, he has no last reliance.

Fortunately, even though the Lin family declined, they were still powerful and powerful. Even the Marquis of Yongping did not dare to attack him blatantly. From the matters of Qin Cong, Tianxianglou and Wang Wei, they were still very afraid of doing things on the surface. Lin Xiu just needed to beware of their secret actions.

After figuring this out, Lin Xiu no longer worried.

The enemies hiding in the dark are the most terrifying. Since they have figured out their identities, they can slowly find opportunities to kill them.

The next day, after breakfast, Lin Xiu took Sun Dali and Dahuang out of the Lin Mansion.

Lin Xiu did not tell Ping Anbo and his wife about his plot against the Yongping Marquis' Mansion, because even if he told them, it would only increase their worries.

Lin Xiu himself has the confidence to handle this matter well.

And he already had a complete plan in his mind.

The most important thing right now is Xue Ning'er's birthday.

Xue Ning'er's ability is flying, and Lin Xiu's determination is to win this ability.

It is not just to realize his childhood dream of flying. The ability to fly is a more special of many magical abilities. Before the fifth awakening, this ability is manifested in the ability to ignore gravity and make one fly in the air.

But after the fifth awakening, this ability will undergo a qualitative change.

Specifically, it will change from floating oneself to floating all things, that is, from "flying" to "controlling things".

These are two completely different abilities. If Xue Ning'er can awaken her own abilities five times, her abilities will evolve from the "flying" of the Xuan level to the "control" of the Tian level.

Flying is only a mysterious level ability, but control is a heaven level.

At that time, she can not only make herself fly, but also others fly.

Although people in this world do not have the concept of "gravity", they obviously have learned the horror of this ability, otherwise they would not have listed it as a celestial rank.

Lingyin is not there. During this month, he has to work hard to practice, strive for a second awakening, and then get Xue Ning'er's ability as soon as possible. Otherwise, when Lingyin comes back, she will squeeze out all his energy every day. At that time, he will not be able to do anything.

In order to quickly enhance the relationship with Xue Ning'er, Lin Xiu spent a lot of effort on the gifts to her for this birthday party.

...

It's night.

The sky was completely dark, the entire king was shrouded in the night, the poor families who had no money to light candles had already rested, but the Duke Xue's mansion was still brightly lit.

Carriages and sedan chairs were parked on the streets on both sides of Xue Mansion, like a long dragon, from the street to the end of the street, which was very spectacular.

Today is the 18th birthday of Xue Ning'er, the granddaughter of Xue Guogong. The grandfather of the Duke's mansion is even bigger than the elders of some big families who celebrate their 80th birthday.

Those who come to Xue’s mansion tonight are all big names with names and surnames, while most people need to look up to some of the little powerful people whom they usually don’t even have the qualifications to attend to the tonight banquet.

The Duke Xue Mansion is prosperous. Among the third generation, there are more than ten males, but only one girl. Therefore, Xue Ning'er has been favored since she was born. Some people took advantage of her birthday banquet to offer generous gifts and use this to curry favor with the Xue family.

"Young Master Wei He from the Marquis of Yongchun, I will give you a pair of Yu Ruyi!"

"Young Master Chen Yun from the Julu Marquis's Mansion, I will give you a handful of jade pipa."

"Miss Chen Peipei, Miss Chen's Mansion, I will give you 10,000 taels of silver."

...

At the gate of the Duke's Mansion, there was a housekeeper who was responsible for receiving gifts. While recording the gifts, he read out the gifts from everyone loudly.

Those who were pronounced with their names turned around and bowed to the people who were still queuing in, and then strode in.

A young man handed over the invitation. The butler looked at the name in front of the invitation and whispered: "Ping's Mansion Lin Xiulin, send it..."

After saying that, he saw that the young man had no movement and whispered: "Young Master, where is your gift?"

Lin Xiu said: "My congratulations are quite special, I will give them to Miss Ning'er in person later."

The housekeeper didn't say much about this. Those young people who pursue their own ladies like to do this. As long as the invitation is real, they will not stop it.

However, it is undoubtedly a dream that a little third-class uncle also wants to pursue his own lady. Although his appearance is indeed unmatched among the many suitors of the lady, his identity is still too low.

At this moment, a discussion broke out among the guests who were still queuing at the gate of the mansion.

"Ping An, isn't Peace a third-class uncle? I heard that the first-class loyal and courageous uncle was not invited. Where did his invitation come from?"

"I don't know, maybe she is Miss Ning'er's friend."

"No way, Miss Ning'er's friend, how could he not even bring a gift?"

"Lin Xiu, isn't Lin Xiu the one who has a engagement with the Zhao family's legitimate daughter? He's here too?"

"What, it's him, damn it, the revenge of taking his wife is irreconcilable!"

...

The banquet has not yet begun, and the Xue Mansion is already very lively.

Lin Xiu walked into the yard and looked around, but there was no one he knew.

No wonder, shortly after he came to this world, the only friend, was Li Baizhang, who was mysterious. He said that he was a commoner and an ordinary family, but Lin Xiu always had doubts about this.

How could a commoner have so many insights? How could he know so much about the powerful and powerful people in the capital? But he didn't say it, and Lin Xiu didn't look at it in detail.

Lin Xiu made friends with him, but the two Aquamans' mutual appreciation has nothing to do with his identity.

As for the other classmates who were familiar with each other, they were Xue Ning'er's dog licking dogs and had no chance to attend to tonight's dinner, so others were in groups of people talking and laughing, but he didn't even have anyone to talk.

Fortunately, Xue Ning'er, as the protagonist of tonight, was already welcoming guests in the yard. When she saw Lin Xiu, she waved to him happily, and then walked over with small steps.

A group of young men and women also surrounded her.

Xue Ning'er wore a light yellow silk skirt today, and her face was decorated with exquisite makeup, neither thick nor light, just right.

Her hair was combed into a lush bun, and there were many ornaments on it, shining brightly under the candlelight, as if she was bathed in dazzling light.

There is no doubt that Xue Ning'er is undoubtedly the only focus of Xue's mansion tonight.

The women beside her also had outstanding appearances, but everything standing with her turned into green leaves that set off the red flowers.

Of course, there is another important reason, that is, at her birthday party, she did not invite Qin Wan, Zhao Lingyin, and Princess Minghe.

If any of them came, the situation tonight would only be a two-month competition.

Of course, it is reasonable that Xue Ning'er would not invite them.

If Lin Xiu was Xue Ning'er, she wouldn't invite her.

I have to say that as one of the four beauties of the Academic Art Academy, Xue Ning'er has unique and outstanding features just as a woman.

If she wasn't that green tea, Lin Xiu would still be willing to be friends with her.

Lin Xiu looked at Xue Ning'er who was walking towards her, and smiled and said, "Miss Ning'er tonight is more beautiful than before."

Xue Ning'er was slightly happy. Lin Xiu is really good at speaking.

The others I met just now praised her for being very beautiful tonight. Isn’t she usually not?

Among the countless praises and praises tonight, only Lin Xiu's words are the one that wins her the most.

I don’t know why, as long as she talks to Lin Xiu, she will soon become happy even if she feels depressed.

Her face turned slightly red, and she pretended to be shy and said, "No..."

Suddenly, a handsome man appeared from somewhere. The faces of several young men around Xue Ning'er changed. One of them smiled and said without a smile: "Ning'er, who is this brother? Why have you never seen him before? Wouldn't you introduce us to us?"

Xue Ning'er then stood beside Lin Xiu and said to everyone: "This is Mr. Lin Xiulin from Ping'an Mansion, he is my good friend."

When they heard that they were the son of Peace, everyone immediately felt relieved.

I thought it was some kind of person, but I didn't expect that I was just a son of a third-class Heianbo. Such a person was not qualified to be their opponent.

Moreover, among the powerful and powerful people in the capital, who doesn’t know that the son of Ping Anbo and the daughter of the Zhao family had an engagement, so naturally there was no competition with them-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The son of Ping Anbo, isn’t Ping Anbo’s fiancé of the Zhao family’s genius? Is it this person?

For a moment, everyone felt a little complicated and unspeakable.

Although they are pursuing Xue Ning'er, who doesn't know Zhao Lingjun?

If they were asked to choose between Zhao Lingjun and Xue Ning'er, they would choose the former without hesitation, but they would not have such choices in their dreams.

Facing the goddess of the Zhao family, they all felt that they were not worthy.

The guy in front of me who is not worthy of being good-looking and useless is even more unworthy.

But he is really Zhao Lingjun's fiancé.

So they are jealous.

Very jealous.

Xue Ning'er seemed to have not noticed the changes in everyone's expressions, and introduced to Lin Xiu one by one: "This is Wei Wenyuan, the second son of Duke Wei, Qi Qingxiao, the eldest son of Duke Qi, Chen Peipei of Duke Chen's mansion, and she is also my good friend..."

In order, when introducing the last young man, Xue Ning'er said: "This is Yang Xuan, the eldest son of the Marquis of Yongping's Mansion..."

Lin Xiu just held his fists and greeted those people in front of him. When Xue Ning'er introduced Mr. Yongping, Lin Xiu looked up at him, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said, "Brother Yang, I have long admired him, long admired him..."

Looking at Lin Xiu's warm smile, for some reason, Yang Xuan suddenly felt a chill from his heart.

But this feeling soon disappeared. If it weren't for fear of the Zhao family, it would be much harder for him to pinch this person to death than to pinch an ant to death. He and Lin Xiu looked at each other and said with a smile: "Since they are Miss Ning'er's friend, they are naturally also friends of me. We need to take care of them in the future."
