Chapter Twenty-Three: What Are Your Qualifications?

The next day, the Marquis of Jinyang's mansion. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

After Lin Zheng handed over the gift to his subordinates, he was ready to leave.

He originally thought that today was a birthday celebration ceremony inside the Hou Mansion. After coming, he found out that most of the people who came to participate in the Golden Hairpin Ceremony were the daughters of major families, and at most they were some friends of the same generation as Ning Huan.

As a rare solo male guest, Lin Zheng naturally received a lot of eyes from strangers. These gazes, perhaps, have no malice. But the scrutiny in their eyes always made him a little uncomfortable.

This also made Lin Zheng realize that this is Jinyang, the mansion of the Marquis of Jinyang. It's no longer the broken earth house he lived in.

Especially after seeing the girl in the crowd who was extremely active and like a beating flame, Lin Zheng's head suddenly grew twice. This feeling even outweighed the tension of being hunted down in Thunder Prison City.

That's not wrong, these are two completely different feelings. In short, it was this strange feeling that made him just want to get out of here as soon as possible, at least not to see each other.

Before leaving, Lin Zheng wanted to say hello to his uncle. However, after learning that the other party was not in the Hou Mansion, he had no choice but to give up.

Walking through the buildings, when Lin Zheng came to the front yard square, he happened to be greeted by a group of teenagers who were about his age.

Jin Cheng, the foreign affairs manager of the Hou Mansion, led the way in front with a groveling attitude, and several teenagers were talking about something around a green-robed young man in the middle, and occasionally a few people laughed twice. The unrestrained movements of everyone at this time were obviously very familiar with the Hou Mansion.

Of course, Lin Zheng didn't know these people. Just glanced at it, and was ready to give way sideways. But Jin Cheng, who was leading the way on the opposite side, stopped all of a sudden after seeing Lin Zheng and took the initiative to salute and greet him.

"Young Master Lin, why are you leaving so soon. After a while, there will be a garden banquet in the house, don't you participate? His attitude is extremely warm, and people who are not familiar with him may think that the relationship between the two is good.

Regarding Jincheng's behavior, Lin Zheng knew it in his heart, and the other party was just afraid that he would tell what happened a few days ago. But in fact, he doesn't have so much spare time to care about this.

Regardless of whether Jin Cheng's words that day were intentional or unintentional, it had nothing to do with him. Of course, there may be some problems in the Hou Mansion. But this is something that my uncle should consider. If my uncle was the Marquis of Jinyang, he wouldn't even be able to detect this in advance. I'm afraid that the Hou Mansion won't stand in Jinyang for so many years.

"I won't participate, just go back and say hello to my uncle. After Lin Zheng finished speaking, he prepared to leave first.

"Definitely, definitely. Young Master Lin walked slowly. Hearing that Lin Zheng was leaving, Jin Cheng replied busily. He also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, he knew that the Hou Ye went to inspect the military camp outside the city today, and he was not in the mansion, so the two must not have met yet. His own troubles were temporarily avoided.

Of course, if Lin Zheng said now that he would not come to the Hou Mansion in the future, he would be even happier, and then he would really get rid of a heart disease.

Jin Cheng was just about to turn sideways and get out of the way, but he didn't want the green-robed young man behind him to suddenly speak.

"Steward Jin, which young master is this, why don't you introduce it. The young man glanced at Lin Zheng and wondered a little in his heart.

Although Jincheng did not have a high position in the Hou Mansion, he was notoriously snobbish. If it weren't for the constant internal undercurrents of the Ning family now, I am afraid that there would be no good face for myself.

And Jincheng's attitude towards the other party's attitude is so humble, it can even be said to be deliberately welcome. It was too much for him to understand.

Hearing the young man's question, Jin Cheng hurriedly replied carefully: "Young Master Ning Cheng, this is Master Hou's nephew, Young Master Lin Zheng." Young Master Lin has always lived outside the city and rarely returns to the Hou Mansion. You may not have seen it. ”

Oh, it's him. A look of jealousy flashed in Ning Cheng's eyes, and then his face was full of disdain.

Combined with the title in Lin Zheng's words just now, he finally determined Lin Zheng's identity.

Not long ago, he learned from the mouth of the Hou Mansion that the nephew of the Hou Ye had returned. At first, he didn't care about it, but after some side understanding, he learned that although Lin Zheng had just returned to the Hou Mansion, he had taken over a lot of the Hou Mansion's properties. So he instigated Ning Yi to find the other party's bad luck, originally just wanted to teach Lin Zheng a small lesson. Unexpectedly, Ning Yi was so useless, but he was seriously injured.

If this matter was not stopped by his father, he was afraid that it would affect the overall situation. I'm afraid I've already found the door, but now it's good that the other party actually appeared in front of me like this.

"People are not very good, but they still have a little vision, and they know that not everyone can live in the Hou Mansion. Ning Cheng's words were mocking, and he looked at Lin Zheng with extreme disdain.

Ning Yi's words made Lin Zheng frown slightly. In Jincheng's introduction just now, if the two are considered relatives in terms of the relationship between their uncles.

But he really couldn't understand why these people surnamed Ning seemed to look at him unpleasantly. When they hear their identity, they want to provoke them, do they look like a puff bag? Or are these children of the family born with a sense of superiority over others, and they want to step on anyone they see.

However, for a so-called child of a family like Ning Cheng, Lin Zheng was not ready to pay attention to it. Although his identity is now the nephew of Jin Yanghou, it stands to reason that he can be regarded as a child of a family. But deep in his bones, he still regards himself as the poor boy who runs around for three meals in the Thunder Prison City, and he still avoids these young masters who fly all day long and shout at people at every turn.

To be precise, they are too lazy to deal with each other.

And he knows very well that if you smell a bad fly, you should either not drive it away, and once you decide, you must shoot it to death, otherwise, it will 'buzz' in your ears non-stop.

Although Ning Cheng's words were not good, they were really nothing to Lin Zheng, at least not to make him make a move regardless of the occasion.

Although Lin Zheng looked unhappy, he didn't say anything. While Ning Cheng despised the other party in his heart, he also had a feeling that he had punched the air and had nowhere to use his strength. This made him quite depressed.

At this moment, a fellow teenager behind him suddenly asked.

"Ning Cheng, who is this? ”

The companion's questioning gave Ning Cheng an excuse to provoke again.

"Hmph, a poor relative of the Ning family. Not long ago, he suddenly appeared, and he didn't know how to become a cousin of the Ning family. Knowing that today is Ning Huan's sister's golden hairpin ceremony, and I don't know how to wear it, it's really a shame for the Hou Mansion. ”

Ning Cheng's gaze looked up and down on Lin Zheng's body, and he almost wrote the word 'contempt' on his face.

Hearing Ning Cheng's words, Lin Zheng suddenly understood why so many people looked at him with strange eyes when he was standing in the backyard today.

He didn't think too much about the clothes on his body now, just for convenience, he wore the gray cloth martial arts uniform used for martial arts training on weekdays. After all, compared to the life in Thunder Prison City, as long as it is not unclothed, it is considered good. But now that I think about it, on an occasion like today, his clothes are indeed a little inappropriate.

However, these were all thoughts in his heart. It doesn't mean that he doesn't mind Ning Cheng's words.

What he wears is none of his business. Lin Zheng's heart was already a little unhappy.

"That's what happened, Ning Cheng. Don't worry about it, whoever doesn't have a few poor relatives, just let people blow it out. We still have to go in and watch the ceremony, don't be disappointed by someone who is not worthy. The young man persuaded kindly, and at the same time showed a disapproving expression.

Others hurriedly chimed in. For them, Lin Zheng's identity may not be as good as that of the subordinates in the family. After all, the subordinates still have to meet them for the sake of life. And Lin Zheng, in their eyes, is just an eyesore stranger.

After speaking, a few people didn't care, so they wanted to hug Ning Cheng and continue to move forward.

But at this time, Lin Zheng was standing in the middle of the corridor. If he didn't give way, the teenagers would have to take a detour.

Maybe in other places, a few people won't care about Lin Zheng's actions. But in the Hou Mansion, Lin Zheng's current appearance is a little provocative.

Several people looked at Ning Cheng, this was his 'territory'. If such a thing happens, he must come forward.

Feeling the gazes of several people, Ning Cheng's face was red and hot. He has always regarded the Hou Mansion as his home, and Lin Zheng's refusal to make way at this moment is tantamount to breaking ground on Tai Sui's head, which makes him lose face. Thinking that this matter might become the laughing stock of others in the future, Ning Cheng couldn't suppress the anger in his heart.

Raising his eyebrows, Ning Cheng blurted out and scolded.

"Good dogs don't get in the way. ”

In the face of provocation, Lin Zheng stood in place, just looking at each other coldly, but did not speak. The body doesn't even want to move.

When Ning Cheng saw Lin Zheng's appearance, the evil fire suddenly grew. 'Rubbing' walked in front of Lin Zheng in a few steps, and secretly pushed it up with force in his hand. But Lin Zheng, who was pushed away in his imagination, stood still in place.

Ning Cheng was stunned for a moment, then lifted the strength of his whole body, and pushed his palms out again.

You must know that he is known as the most talented martial arts talent within the Ning family, and he has already been a martial apprentice a year ago, and he is only one step away from entering the late stage of consummation. Even among the peers in Jinyang City, the strength is not bad.

Lin Zheng looked at Ning Cheng's movements, and the corners of his mouth twitched. The body twisted slightly at the moment when the other party's palms slapped his chest. Ning Cheng's palm power was completely removed by this slight twist. Without waiting for the other party to react, Lin Zheng's shoulders stiffened.

Ning Cheng only felt a huge force coming from his palm, and he couldn't help but take a few steps back.

Ning Cheng was surprised in his heart, although he heard Ning Yi's subordinates say that this kid's strength was not small, he just thought that his subordinates were deliberately exaggerating and shirking responsibility. After all, no matter how strong he was, a young man with a martial apprentice fivefold would not be able to compete with several warrior apprentices with an eightfold guard. I didn't expect this kid on the other side to really have some strength.

With a 'poof' sound, Ning Cheng pulled out the saber at his waist, obviously at this moment, he was ready to take it seriously.

Jin Cheng, who was standing next to him, looked like he wanted to stop but didn't dare to step forward. The eyes asking for help looked at the teenagers who came with Ning Cheng.

Not only did the teenagers not dissuade them, but they smiled and watched, and when they saw Ning Yi draw his sword, they took a few steps back to make room for the two.

Seeing everyone's attitude, Jin Cheng's heart was not only not anxious but happy, if Ning Cheng taught Lin Zheng a lesson here today, it would be regarded as avenging himself that day.

At this moment, Lin Zheng suddenly spoke.

"I've always had something I wanted to say. ”

Ning Cheng stopped moving, with a hint of understanding on his arrogant expression. He has already affirmed that the other party must be afraid of him, and then he has to apologize to himself. But there is no such good thing. If you don't teach this kid a lesson today, what will the people behind you think of themselves in the future.

Looking at the situation that might calm down at any time, Jin Cheng couldn't help but be secretly disappointed beside him.

"Can you tell me what your identity is and what qualifications you have to judge me here. Lin Zheng said word by word, with a calm expression, as if asking the other party 'have you eaten'.

Originally, he didn't want to cause trouble, after all, today is his cousin's golden hairpin ceremony. But helplessly, the other party repeatedly provoked, and the clay man also had a three-point earthy nature, and he was already a little paranoid by nature. Although he was in Thunder Prison City, he was beaten a lot because of his temper. But no matter how badly injured, his character never changed. And it wasn't that he didn't know how to resist before, but his resistance at that time was too weak.

Hearing Lin Zheng's words, several accompanying teenagers were stunned for a moment, and then pursed their lips and laughed secretly in their hearts. Ning Cheng usually regarded himself as the successor of the Hou Mansion in front of them, but he didn't expect to be ridiculed by an unknown teenager in front of him.

Ning Cheng was also almost angry by the disadvantage of anger, and the saber in his hand trembled violently.

Lin Zheng didn't know what he said. It was simply a sore spot in Ning Cheng's heart. Although the surname of Jin Yanghou is Ning, he has always been a side line of the Ning family. Originally, the relationship between the two families was not very close, and they even almost broke up at one point. It's just that now, because there is no male in the Hou Mansion who can inherit the family business. The Ning family suddenly came up.

The reason why Ning Cheng was so arrogant in the Marquis of Jinyang Mansion was because the family clan had proposed several times that he should inherit the title of Marquis under Ning Yuanshan's name. Although this matter has been rejected by Ning Yuanshan, the people of the Ning family have already taken it as a fact. But if it is really about the relationship with the Hou Mansion, I am afraid that Lin Zheng is even closer than Ning Cheng.

Ning Cheng thought that Lin Zheng was deliberately mocking himself about this matter, and he was immediately angry. The long sword in his hand shook, and the Dao sword shadow approached Lin Zheng's vital point.

"I'll let you know right now what qualifications I have. ”

Although Lin Zheng didn't know that his words had deeply stimulated the other party, he had already made all the preparations. The body retreated slightly, allowing Ning Cheng to take the lead. His hands secretly turned into claws, and his eyes wandered like a falcon in several flaws on Ning Cheng's body. As long as there is a slight delay in Ning Cheng's moves, it will inevitably make the other party regret today's move. In Thunder Prison City, he has never shown mercy to his subordinates.

"Ning Cheng, what are you going to do. Suddenly, a crisp female voice came.
