Bang!

A firework exploded in the sky. Lin Xiu didn't hear Xue Ning'er clearly, so he asked, "What did Miss Ning'er just say?"

Xue Ning'er shook her head and said, "Nothing."

Her mood is a little complicated at the moment.

At the beginning, she just regarded Lin Xiu as a tool, a tool that could make him beat Zhao Lingjun, but her relationship these days has shaken her a little bit about her original thoughts.

The happiness and joy she had when she was with Lin Xiu was something she had never experienced before.

His humor is sometimes mixed with some teasing that she is not disgusted with. He always wants to hear what he says. Even the gifts he gives her are so unique...

If she could be with such a person, she would be happy every day, right?

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

This made her jealousy deeper and strengthened her initial belief.

Even though he was Zhao Lingjun's man in the end, she didn't want the person Zhao Lingjun got first.

Yes, she wanted Lin Xiu to fall in love with her and then reject him when everyone in the royal capital was well known.

Xue Ning'er silently said sorry to Lin Xiu, and used the excuse of the guests to entertain him, and left Lin Xiu with guilt.

Seeing Xue Ning'er leave, Lin Xiu breathed a sigh of relief. Judging from Xue Ning'er's performance, he did not give the gift wrong, and it was not in vain that he spent so much effort on her.

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

If Xue Ning'er is not the pearl of the Duke's Mansion and is just a child of a poor family, then whether it is giving jewelry or setting off fireworks, it is not as effective as giving money directly.

But her family background is prominent and she is not short of valuable gifts, so it is better to have fireworks.

Not only romantic.

And cheap.

This fireworks show that was eye-catching across the city only cost Lin Xiu dozens of taels of silver. Although it was still beyond the budget, it was still within the price he could bear.

If he eats a little more, he might get back the cost.

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

An hour later, the banquet tonight finally ended.

The guests left Xue Mansion one after another. When Yang Xuan, the son of the Marquis of Yongping, 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 unique. You can tell that Miss Ning'er likes it very much."

Lin Xiu smiled on her face, turned to look at Yang Xuan, and lowered her voice: "There is no one here, you don't have to pretend like this."

Yang Xuan's expression stuttered slightly, and suddenly laughed again, saying, "What Brother Lin is saying, why can't I understand a single sentence?"

Lin Xiu chuckled and said, "Stop pretending. You are instructing me behind the scenes of Tianxianglou. The Tianwang Wei challenged me, and it was your instruction. By the way, Qin Cong once asked me for trouble. Is it your intention?"

Yang Xuan shrugged and said, "I really don't know what you are talking about."

"If you don't know, forget it." Lin Xiu shook his head, walked out of Xue's mansion, then turned around and smiled at Yang Xuan, and whispered: "The plan is good, but the person I'm looking for is not very reliable. Keep working hard in the future. Actually, I really like to see how you can't stand it and can't get rid of me..."

Looking at Lin Xiu's back as he turned around and left, Yang Xuan's expression was calm, his fists in his sleeves were already clenched, and a crisp sound was made in the joints.

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

Qin Cong's affairs were clearly because the two of them had a grudge first, and he just hinted at Qin Cong a few words; Tianxianglou put pressure on him, and it was also because of ice making; Wang Wei's Wu Dao Class secretly made ruthless moves, and he did it even more obscurely, and everything has a reasonable cause of cause and effect. How did Lin Xiu find him?

A follower behind him thought for a while and said, "Although the young master's arrangements are very clever every time, most people will not easily doubt you, but if you are interested in investigating, it will not be difficult to find out the relationship between the Qin family, the Wang family, and Tianxianglou and us. This son of Ping Anbo is probably not as stupid as mentioned in the information..."

"I really underestimated him." Yang Xuan's expression calmed down and said quickly: "I originally planned to let him live for a while. Since he was seeking death by himself, I'll help him..."

The entourage hesitated and said, "Young Master, if you encounter the last situation again and the palace blames you..."

Yang Xuan snorted coldly and said, "His ability was useful to the palace before, but I have asked someone to investigate. The palace has not summoned him again for a long time. This time, I think who else can save him?"

The follower asked, "Young Master has made arrangements?"

When dealing with a small person, Yang Xuan made several mistakes. He originally planned to stop for a while and make a detailed and meticulous plan to make a single blow.

But Lin Xiu's provocation tonight changed his mind.

He didn't want to wait any longer, he just wanted to solve this heart disease as soon as possible.

He said coldly: "This time, let Dongcheng Ling do it and make his work cleaner. This time, I want this person to never turn over!"

After leaving Xue's mansion, Lin Xiu returned home shortly after.

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

The powerful families of the royal capital are actually gathered together. This area has extremely strict defenses, and it can be said that it is a five-step post and ten-step post. It is the safest place in the royal capital except the imperial palace.

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

Except for the assassin whose own abilities are hidden, almost no assassin will choose to take action here.

It is precisely because of this that Lin Xiucai did not lead Sun Dali, but asked him to prepare for the fireworks tonight.

Not long after Lin Xiu returned home, Sun Dali also came back. As soon as he entered the door, he asked, "Young Master, how about it, I didn't mess it up, right?"

Lin Xiu nodded and said, "Yes, what's going on with another thing I asked you to do?"

Sun Dali handed a jade box to Lin Xiu and said, "Don't worry, young master, you have already bought it."

Lin Xiu opened the jade box, and there were ten translucent diamond crystals. The size of this crystal was much smaller than the one Lin Xiu saw in Xue's mansion tonight, but it was slightly larger than the ones he used in the palace.

The Yuan crystal provided by the palace to restore the Yuan power came from the first-level alien beast. The one that Xue Ning'er received was the fifth-level alien beast Yuan crystal. The Yuan crystal in front of Lin Xiu belonged to the second-level alien beast.

The Yuan crystal of the first-level alien beast is about ten taels of silver, and the price of each higher-level original crystal is ten times different. The Yuan crystal of the fifth-level alien beast is as high as 100,000 taels per, and it is still priceless. The real transaction price is probably more than 100,000 taels.

The young man from the Duke of Qi's mansion spent a lot of money to pursue Xue Ning'er.

Lin Xiu asked Sun Dali to buy these ten second-level alien beast Yuan crystals, and spent a total of 1,000 taels, which made him feel very painful.

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

In the month of the palace, Lin Xiu absorbed more than 200 Yuan crystals, which was equivalent to his normal practice of more than 200 days. In addition, Lingyin's extreme exploitation of him some days ago, I'm afraid that the only two months he came here would have been almost equivalent to a year of practice.

At this time, the growth of the energy in his body was extremely slow and even stagnant, which shows that he has encountered a bottleneck.

The bottleneck is the precursor to another awakening.

At this time, the Yuan Crystal of the first-level alien beast had no effect on his practice.

What he needs is a higher level of Yuanjing.

Although it is OK to rely on one's own energy to impact the barrier, it takes a long time, and Lin Xiu no longer has time to wait any longer.

He returned to the room alone, closed the door, sat cross-legged on the bed, took out a Yuan crystal, held it in the palm of his hand, and then exerted a little force.

The next moment, a ten-fold larger energy than he felt before poured into his body from his palms.

Lin Xiu let out a muffled groan, and his body shook uncontrollably, and eventually he forced himself to stabilize.

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

A quarter of an hour later, Lin Xiu slowly opened his eyes, breathed a sigh of relief, saying, "Failed..."

The Yuan crystal of a high-level alien beast can increase the chance of breakthrough, but it is not 100%, but only 10% of the success rate. Lin Xiu still has nine chances. In terms of probability, as long as his luck is not too bad, the remaining nine times will always be successful.

Lin Xiu took out a Yuan crystal again and held it in his hand.

...

It's late at night.

Lin Xiu is not asleep yet.

He sat cross-legged on the bed, looking at the last Yuan crystal in his hand, feeling speechless. The one-tenth probability that he had agreed was, isn't this too dark?

There is still the last one left in the Yuan crystal. After using it, if there is no breakthrough, Sun Dali will have to buy it tomorrow. The Yuan crystal of the second-level alien beast is relatively not rare. As long as there is silver, you can still buy ten or eight.

After a while, Lin Xiu held the last Yuan crystal in his hand, held hope, and closed his eyes again.

One night passed quietly.

Early in the morning, after a few crisp rooster crows, the rhubarb in the doghouse slowly opened its eyes.

Looking at the big bones beside him, Dahuang swallowed a saliva. Although many days had passed, every time he thought of his experiences these days, he felt like a dog was like a dream.

Since he was born, he has been wandering on the streets. Not only did he have to endure the wind and rain, but he had no meals after eating, but he was hungry for three days.

At that time, it never thought that one day there would be a nest of its own, with endless meat and endless bones every day. He felt that dog life had reached its peak.

At this moment, a voice suddenly reached his ears.

"Rhubarb, come here."

Dahuang suddenly raised her head, her ears stood up, and the dog's face looked extremely alert.

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

Is there a second dog in this yard?

He looked around in circles, but he didn't notice any other dogs in the yard. Only the owner was standing in the yard. Lin Xiu looked at Dahuang, and his lips were not moving, but there was a sound that rang out directly in Dahuang's mind.

"Stop looking for it, I'm here."
