It's the cyber age now, and you're still playing traditional villains?

"Oh."

The white-haired lady also laughed, and her body slowly slid down. Before she covered her mouth, she did not forget to tease him again, "It was the same last time... The trick is a bit old."

“It’s not about new tricks, it just works.”

Xu Shi put on the demeanor of a great master and said leisurely.

Damn, Xia Ke'an's character card is the hardest to draw... Mainly because stupid AI can't put the two forms together, otherwise it would have been finished long ago, so pissed...

Chapter 266: Do you want milk or yogurt?

2023-09-16

"Good morning, master."

The next morning, Pan Ling, who had been waiting all night, came over as soon as she saw Xu Shi. "Breakfast is ready. Do you want to eat now?"

It just so happened that the junior sister was right next to him... Her mind was full of her own affairs, and she didn't pay much attention to Xia Ke'an's strange expression. She just thought it was such a coincidence, and she would find an opportunity to ask him clearly later.

Junior Sister should still be reliable...right?

"Okay."

Xu Shi nodded. "It's rare to see you so attentive. Is there something you want to tell me?"

"……No."

Pan Ling started to play dumb, blinking her big watery eyes and looking sincere, "Isn't it normal for a disciple to be filial to his master?"

I can’t tell my master about the private transaction between me and Junior Sister… let alone the matter of being lazy. If I have to ask, I can’t ask you.

The silly disciple certainly didn't know that Xu Shi had seen through his little tricks a long time ago. Even if he hadn't seen through them, the old lady would have sold them out long ago...

"Well, my apprentice is considerate."

Xu Shi knew what was going on, but he was too lazy to point it out. He just smiled and said, "Since you are fine, call your master's wife and Sister Shen Qin together. I have something to tell you."

"……Yes."

What else could Pan Ling say? She could only jog to call for help.

In fact, Xu Shi’s family rarely sits together to eat in such a formal way, especially for breakfast.

After all, he is a casual person and he doesn't bother with those high-sounding things... When can't you say something, just enjoy your meal.

As time went by, other people started to care less about it...Now that it's suddenly so formal, everyone is a little uncomfortable for a while.

"What are you doing?"

Xie Qingyan, who was half asleep, pouted and complained, "Can't you wait until you wake up to deal with such a big issue? You only know how to make trouble for others."

She was almost exhausted from all the hard work last night. She must be very tired...

"It's not that I have something to say, it's that our good daughter has something to tell everyone."

Xu Shi put down the teacup and gestured to the silent white-haired loli, "Hurry up, why don't you confess?"

"……oh."

Xia Ke'an finally came back to his senses as if awakened from a dream. He looked at him with resentment and stood up reluctantly.

Everyone then noticed that her attire today was a little strange, a loose burqa that almost buried her whole body.

What kind of outfit is this... But before everyone could react, they saw a hazy light suddenly flowing.

Not long after, she showed her adult form in public for the first time.

There was no need for Xia Ke'an to say anything about this situation; this set of procedures was the best explanation.

"you……"

The bitch was completely awake now, and pointed at her in disbelief, "So you are..."

She didn't have much impression of the white-haired loli, but this appearance was different - the eldest daughter of "Zheguang", Xia Yuanqi, was the spokesperson for their consortium. As someone who moved around in the circle, even though she was young at that time, she would not have no memory of her at all.

She was even a fan of her for a while... Don't mention that Xu Shi regarded the old aunt as her childhood goddess. Her popularity was so high back then. Her image and ability were not weak at all. It's no exaggeration to say that she was popular with both men and women.

However, with the destruction of "Refraction", the people and things related to the Xia family naturally faded out of the public's sight... But now that Xia Ke'an is standing in front of everyone so openly, it would be strange if Xie Qingyan still couldn't remember him.

But this is the best thing, right?! Because it was not until now that she realized that the other person had been following Xu Shi all along!

To be honest, when she was the attending physician for the old lady, the bitch was also curious about his identity. After all, his abilities and complications were very rare... But at that time her mind was more on Xu Shi, so she never thought about it again.

The private investigation also yielded no results... We can't just think of "refraction" because the person's last name is Xia, that seems a bit far-fetched.

"Daddy's good daughter? And you still call me Aunt Xie?"

But anyway, she still felt a little bit like a Bengbu resident, and sneered and teased.

No wonder her clothes are so weird today, now that she's an adult they fit her perfectly...

"Yes, it's me..."

Xia Ke'an blushed and nodded. He was no longer as high-spirited as he was in the past. It was a good thing that he didn't crawl into the ground...

To be honest, this was probably the hardest thing for her to get over. It was really embarrassing to become an adult in front of everyone. Who made her maintain the image of an innocent little girl before...

Compared to Xie Qingyan's sudden realization, Ye Shanshan and Shen Qin were more surprised.

One of them was born in a grassroots family, and the other had his brain manipulated by someone, so naturally they don't know much about the past between the big conglomerates. But in their eyes, this incident is indeed very show-like.

But after all, they were born in Night Sin City, so after confirming with Xu Shi and Xie Qingyan respectively, they accepted it very quickly.

But some people found it not so easy to accept. Pan Ling's mouth has not closed yet.

What did I see?

I just asked you, little sister, to help me get some information from Master. How come you grew bigger overnight?!

what? !

What on earth did you do?!

But the shock was only temporary. She was not a fool and after a while she slowly accepted the fact.

In fact, it is not difficult to figure it out. It is obvious that the father-daughter relationship between the junior sister and the master was fake.

The little sister even looks a little older than the master - she has the charm of a mature woman, and it is obvious that she must be Master Xia's elder, as their eyebrows and eyes are similar... No wonder Master Xia is the one who plays her mother.

"Anyway, that's what happened."

Xu Shi was as calm as ever. He smiled and pulled the old lady over to sit next to him. "Some things should be discussed openly. Does this count as her being honest with you?"

"Yes, it is."

Xie Qingyan sighed helplessly, and when he and Little Curly-haired Boy and his good sister looked at Xia Ke'an again, the expressions of the three of them became playful and weird.

Shit, here comes the vixen. (makes a scowl)

No, I have to find a way to get her... That's not right, could it be that she has already done that with Xu Shi... Given the bad nature of some people, this is very possible.

The silly disciple said something even more shocking, "Should I call you Master's Wife from now on?"

Pfft…Xu Shi almost spit out a mouthful of water. When did you become such a straight shooter? Where is Pan Xiaoling who couldn't even speak clearly before?

Such surprise was met with only a roll of the eyes from his own apprentice. Isn't it because you taught me well, Master?

Of course, more importantly, she has been following Xu Shi for so long that she has seen and heard too many strange things. Shock is only temporary, and complaining is the final result.

Bah, Master Seductress.

"Why call her Master's Wife? She's just Junior Sister!"

Xia Keyan blushed and replied quickly, "What are you shouting at? I haven't discussed it with Xia Wuyou yet... No, I haven't agreed yet!"

"Okay, okay, little senior sister."

Pan Ling was quite considerate, but still couldn't help laughing.

Even though there was a huge age gap between them, she didn't feel any barrier, let alone the feeling of being superior to her. Yesterday, he even said he would spank her...

It's the same with other people. You are the elder? You are a ghost elder. In our eyes, you are no different from a kid.

So, some things are just one wrong step and then all the wrong steps. The advantage that could have been used was ruined by the old lady herself...

"Okay, that's enough for the jokes."

Xu Shi pressed his hand to stop everyone from chattering, "Ke'an's matter is only one aspect. The main thing I want to do is to talk to you about something serious."

Tsk tsk tsk, even the name has been changed... However, everyone calmed down a bit after hearing this and listened attentively.

Xia Ke'an's matter was indeed just a lead, and the real matter that Xu Shi was talking about was the plan to open a new religion.

What he wanted to say was naturally the result of his discussion with the old aunt last night, but after a night, there were still some details to add.

"When opening a new religion, the most important thing is to increase the number of believers first."

He knocked on the table and said, "Xiao Qin, please contact Yinsong Island later to see if there are enough combat teams available. The people who came here before are now familiar faces. If we use them, they will seem fake to ordinary people."

"Okay, brother."

Shen Qin nodded obediently.

"As for the venue, I have already discussed it with the royal family, so you don't have to worry about it... Xiaoling, you and your junior sister should start trying to cooperate now. You can go to the street to find some passers-by to practice, and set up some secret signals or something. Don't show your weakness after you start, okay?"

Xu Shi continued, "This part is the responsibility of the three of us... As for safety, Xiaoqin and Shanshan will have to take care of it."

Little Curly and her best sister nodded in unison. They knew that this was no joke, but a real war with the Vatican.

But for them, they were more excited - people who followed Xu Shi would inevitably become people who like to have fun, and it would be easy for them to like the feeling of making trouble.

Even the pure and innocent Pan Ling is the same. Although she is a native of the empire, the people of Yinsong Island have no good feelings towards the Holy See, not to mention that her father was forced to die by the Holy See not long ago. To be honest, her obsession is not small.

"Okay, that's all I have to say, get ready as soon as possible."

"Wait, what about me?"

Xie Qingyan looked at him, "After saying so much, I'm not going to do anything, right?!"

"You should get well first."

Xu Shi smiled and sighed, "I'm really worried about your current condition... At least wait until your condition stabilizes, then we can talk about other things."

"……Oh."
