It's a pity that even such a man who understands her mind best will be snatched away by Zhao Lingjun in the end.

This made the jealousy in her heart deeper, and at the same time strengthened her original belief.

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

Yes, she wanted Lin Xiu to fall in love with her, and then she rejected him when everyone in the capital knew about it.

Xue Ning'er said sorry to Lin Xiu silently in her heart, and left Lin Xiu's side with some guilt on the pretext that she still had guests to entertain.

Seeing Xue Ning'er leave, Lin Xiu breathed a sigh of relief. Judging from Xue Ning'er's performance, he did not make a mistake in giving this gift, and it was not in vain for him to put so much thought into her.

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

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

But she has a prominent family background and has no shortage of expensive gifts, so fireworks are naturally better.

Not only romantic.

And cheap.

This firework show, which attracted the attention of the whole 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 afford.

If he ate a little more, he might be able to recover the cost.

For this reason, Lin Xiu didn't eat much during the day. When everyone else was flattering and flattering Xue Ning'er, Lin Xiu was the only one who concentrated on eating.

An hour later, tonight's banquet finally came to an end.

The guests left Xue's mansion one after another. When Yang Xuan, the son of Marquis Yongping, was about to leave with his servants, 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 can be seen that Miss Ning'er likes it very much."

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

Yang Xuan's expression froze for a moment, and he suddenly laughed again, and said, "What brother Lin is saying, why can't I understand a word?"

Lin Xiu chuckled, and said, "Stop pretending, you were the one who instigated the matter of Tianxianglou, and Wang Wei challenged me that day, and it was also your instigation. By the way, Qin Cong once troubled me, was it you as well?" the meaning of?"

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

"It's fine if you don't know." Lin Xiu shook her head, strode out of Xue's mansion, then turned her head and smiled at Yang Xuan, and said in a low voice: "The plan is good, but the person you are looking for is not reliable. I will continue to work hard in the future. I like to see how you can't get used to me and can't kill me..."

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

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

Qin Cong's matter was clearly due to the grudge between the two first, and he just hinted at Qin Cong's words; Even more obscure, everything has a reasonable cause and effect, how did Lin Xiu find out about him?

An attendant behind him thought for a while and said: "Although the young master's arrangements are very clever every time, ordinary people will not easily suspect you, but if you want to investigate, it is not difficult to find out the Qin family, the Wang family, and Tianxianglou and others. Our relationship, the son of Uncle Ping'an, is probably not as stupid as the information says..."

"I really underestimated him." Yang Xuan's expression calmed down, and he quickly said again: "I originally planned to let him live happily for a while, since he wanted to die by himself, then let him be fulfilled..."

The attendant hesitated, and said: "My lord, if we encounter the situation last time again, if the palace blames me..."

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

The entourage asked: "Young master already has arrangements?"

Dealing with a small person, but making several mistakes, Yang Xuanben planned to stop for a while and make a detailed and careful plan, so as to ensure that one hit is sure to hit.

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

He didn't want to wait any longer, he just wanted to solve this problem quickly.

He said coldly: "Let Dongcheng Ling do it this time, and let him do things more cleanly. This time, I will make this person never stand up!"

After leaving Xue's mansion, Lin Xiu returned home not long after.

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

The powerful families in the royal capital are actually gathered together. This area is extremely well-defended. It can be said that there is a post at five steps and a sentry at ten steps. It is the safest place in the royal capital except for the palace. place.

Here, you don't even need to bring a guard when you go out at night.

Except for the assassin whose own ability is hidden, almost no assassin would choose to do it here.

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

Not long after Lin Xiu returned home, Sun Dali also came back, and he asked just as soon as he entered the door: "Master, how is it, I didn't mess it up, did I?"

Lin Xiu nodded and said, "That's right, I asked you to do another thing, how is it going?"

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

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

The Yuanjing provided by the palace to restore his energy came from a first-order alien beast, the one Xue Ninger received was a fifth-order alien beast Yuanjing, and the Yuanjing in front of Lin Xiu belonged to a second-order alien beast.

The Yuan crystal of the first-order alien beast is about ten taels of silver, and the price of each higher-rank Yuan crystal is ten times lower. The price of the fifth-order alien crystal is already as high as 10 taels, and there is still no market for it. The real transaction price is probably at 10,000+ taels.

The son of Duke Qi's mansion, in order to pursue Xue Ning'er, can be said to have spent all his money.

Lin Xiu asked Sun Dali to buy these ten Tier 1000 Alien Crystals, which cost a total of [-] taels, which already made him feel very distressed.

But for his plan, Lin Xiu had to wake up again in a short time, and he couldn't care so much at the moment.

In the one month in the palace, Lin Xiu absorbed more than 200 yuan crystals, which was worth more than 200 days of practice under normal circumstances. In addition to the extreme pressure of the spiritual sound on him in the past few days, I am afraid that he came here for only two days. month, which is almost equivalent to a year of practice.

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

The bottleneck is the harbinger of another awakening.

At this time, the primordial crystal of the first-order alien beast had no effect on his cultivation.

What he needs is a higher level Yuanjing.

Relying on one's own strength to hit the barrier, although it is possible, but it will take a long time, 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 exerted a little force.

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

Lin Xiu groaned, her body swayed uncontrollably, and finally stabilized herself by force.

His body is far superior to that of ordinary people, and he has been squeezed so many times by the spirit sound, this level of pain is tolerable.

A quarter of an hour later, Lin Xiu slowly opened her eyes, exhaled lightly, and said with some regret: "It failed..."

The high-level alien crystals can increase the probability of breakthrough, but it is not 100%, but only [-]% 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 The next nine times, there will always be one success.

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

……

The night is deep.

Lin Xiu was still asleep.

He sat cross-legged on the bed, looked at the last Yuanjing in his hand, and was speechless for a while. The one-tenth probability that he had agreed upon was too dark, right?

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

A moment later, Lin Xiu held the last Yuanjing in her hand, and closed her eyes again with hope in her heart.

The night passed quietly.

In the early morning, after a few crisp cock crows, Rhubarb in the kennel slowly opened his eyes.

Looking at the big bones beside him, Rhubarb swallowed a mouthful of saliva. Although many days have passed, every time he thinks about the experiences of these days, he still has the feeling that the life of a dog is like a dream.

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

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

At this time, a voice suddenly reached his ears.

"Rhubarb, come here."

Rhubarb raised his head abruptly, his ears pricked up, and the expression on his dog's face was extremely vigilant.

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

Is there a second dog in the yard?

He looked around in a circle, but he didn't find any other dogs in the yard, only the owner was standing in the yard. Lin Xiu looked at Rhubarb without moving his lips, but a voice rang directly in Rhubarb's mind.

"Don't look for it, I'm here."

Da Huang finally realized something, looked up at Lin Xiu, his dog eyes suddenly widened.

Chapter 53 Who's Talking?

The goddess of fate finally favored Lin Xiu.

He bought ten Yuanjing for 1000 taels of silver, and finally the last one allowed him to break through that layer of shackles.

Yuanli has undergone a qualitative change, and the ability is naturally very different from before.

What surprised Lin Xiu the most was that after the qualitative change of Yuanli, the improvement of various abilities was really synchronized.

Today's Lin Xiu can freeze the ground within a foot of his body in an instant, and his strength has also ushered in a surge, and he can easily lift the stone lock that he couldn't lift before.

The volume of the portable space has increased by ten times. The most obvious change is the animal language ability. In the past, Lin Xiu could only understand their words. Now, she can use her ability to communicate with animals to make her own The voice rang directly in their minds.

Rhubarb was his first experimental subject, and now it has become Lin Xiu's eyeliner, helping him monitor all suspicious people around Lin's mansion.

Under normal circumstances, who would pay attention to a dog?

After returning from Xue Ning'er's birthday party, Lin Xiu didn't leave the house once for seven days.

He asked Sun Dali to go to the School of Different Arts to ask for leave for him, and he stayed at home every day, never leaving the gate, not entering the second door, never seeing Shuangshuang girl, and never going to Lihuayuan.

To be honest, Lin Xiu felt a little uncomfortable on such a day.

But there must be someone more uncomfortable than him.

Tianxiang Building.

Yang Xuan was sitting on a chair in a private room, and a young man stood in front of him, and said helplessly, "My lord, I have arranged everything according to your instructions, and I will wait for Lin Xiu to go out. But he has been staying at home for the past few days, and he hasn't even stepped out of the house..."

Yang Xuan's expression was calm, he took a sip from his teacup, and said calmly: "Wait, he will come out, I want to see how long he can hide."

Lin House.

Lin Xiu sat in the yard, resting her chin on one hand, the word "boring" clearly written on her face.

He is waiting.

The person who came might be Miss Shuangshuang, or it might be Manager Li, or some other manager. Counting the time, they should come too.

After waiting for more than an hour, there was a sound of light footsteps outside his small courtyard.

Miss Shuangshuang stepped into the small courtyard, and before she could speak, Lin Xiu asked, "Did the imperial concubine ask you to come, and the illness of that pet beast has returned?"

Girl Shuangshuang opened her beautiful eyes, opened her small mouth slightly, and said in surprise, "Mr. Lin, how do you know?"

Of course Lin Xiu knew, and he had been waiting for her at home since two days ago.

The soul pet of the imperial concubine was suffering from a heart disease. The last time Lin Xiu and Shuangshuang took it out of the palace, it only temporarily relieved its depression symptoms, and it could only treat the symptoms, not the root cause.

Over time, it will return to a depressed state.

And at that time, even if you take it out of the palace again, it will not be able to achieve the first effect. The pet beast of the imperial concubine was a gift from her deceased mother, and it has a very special meaning to her, so she will definitely think of Lin Lin again. show.

After returning to Tai Hospital last time, Bai Shuangshuang has been thinking about a problem.

Why are all the imperial doctors in the imperial hospital helpless when it comes to diagnosing and treating the pet beast of the imperial concubine, but Mr. Lin, who has not learned much medical skills, can always find the crux of the problem.

Later she figured it out, what the imperial physician heals is people, and Mr. Lin heals the heart. His medical skills are not reflected in the ability of strange magic, nor in medicine prescriptions, but that he has an exquisite heart.

He can put himself in the position of the patient and make accurate inferences, even if his patient is just a spirit beast.

Even without opening his mouth, he could guess the reason for her visit, as if everything was under his control, which made Bai Shuangshuang admire him even more.

Lin Xiu didn't explain too much to her, but smiled slightly and said, "Let's go."

After walking a few steps, Lin Xiu stopped suddenly and said, "Miss Shuangshuang, you go back to the palace first and wait for me at the imperial hospital. I will be there soon."

Miss Shuangshuang nodded, and left Lin's mansion alone.

Not long after, a figure walked out slowly from the back door of the Lin Mansion, passed through several alleys, came out from a certain alley, and walked leisurely towards the imperial palace.

Diagonally opposite Lin's Mansion, on the second floor of a teahouse, a man with thick dark circles poked his head out of the window, looked at the gate of Lin's Mansion, gritted his teeth and said, "It's been a few days, why hasn't he come out... ..."

What he didn't know was that while he was looking at Lin Fu, a yellow dog in the corner of the street was also looking at him.
