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

When everyone found out, no one said anything; instead, they became even more excited.

It can be seen from this that most of the newspapers that can publish these two topics are not serious newspapers, so people just read them for fun.

Only those on Xu Shi’s side knew that these were actually quite true... Of course, the content was completely unrelated to the story, but the tone did not deviate much.

So, if you have to say it, it doesn't seem to be a smear?

However, he is a thick-skinned man. He had been completely immune to these things since his time in Night Sin City. The only purpose of using them is to educate his silly disciple who has no resistance to public opinion suppression, and to tell her that when she becomes famous, there will be a lot of gossips and she must learn to stay calm.

Pan Ling vaguely remembers that her master was still sighing at the time, "How did I become a Russian evil monk for no apparent reason?" She was quite curious at the time. Who was that person?

The bad master said that you should not ask too much about this matter. It would be better to drink a few more glasses of milk instead.

So until now she still doesn't know where Russia is exactly, and she doesn't know if it got this name because it is so good at raising geese.

The master said no, if it were it should be called Goose City.

but.

Now is not the time to think about these silly questions.

"No, no..."

The silly disciple came back to his senses and said seriously, "Actually, since yesterday, these reports have become a little strange..."

"Ok?"

Xu Shi took it curiously and found the problem at a glance.

Because of the reports in the past two days, the focus has changed.

《Shocked! Was the current Imperial Master once swallowed by the Sea God along with his wife? He may have become a vassal of the demon!》

《Cat Cult? Poseidon Cult!》

"My Three Views Are Completely Destroyed! The Royal Family Is Actually Involved in..."

Pick out any popular product, and you will see headlines like this one, which naturally record what happened when Xu Shi and Xie Qingyan conquered the Sea God.

According to the above nonsense, no, reasonable guess, it is impossible for a person swallowed by the sea god to survive. So the two Xu Shi who survived are naturally no longer human beings, but bodies parasitized by the sea god.

The sea god was jealous of humans for exterminating him, so he used various means to retaliate.

The Poseidon Stone transaction was a lesson, and the Holy Fire Cat Cult was a trick to manipulate people's hearts, with the purpose of completely destroying the entire Hualan Empire.

The fact that the royal family has now been infiltrated and bewitched is the best proof of this.

Without even thinking about it, you know who is behind all this.

It is obvious that the Vatican can no longer sit still and has begun to use this method to create panic.

“…This is too much! Who on earth is slandering my brother behind his back?!”

Shen Qin was not on duty today. After seeing the above content, he was furious. He picked up a knife and prepared to go out to teach these blind guys a lesson.

"Little Qin."

Xu Shi stopped her, "Don't be impulsive."

He remained calm, although he also felt that this matter was excessive.

Well, how should I put it, it's really too much.

Because he recalled that he used this method to put pressure on the "Forgotten" a year ago, but now the boomerang has come back?

Of course, seeing the former leader of the "Forgotten" now indignantly seeking justice for himself seems to be more important for the show effect than for the public opinion effect.

This made the fragile Xu Shi unable to hold back and laugh out loud.

"You...brother, you're still laughing!"

Shen Qin was so angry when he saw this, "Brother, you are just too good-tempered, that's why they bully you so recklessly!"

Sorry, I really can't help it... Xu Shi cleared his throat awkwardly, looked at his good sister who had completely gone down the path of a silly girl and would never look back, and comforted her instead.

"It doesn't matter. What can you do to me, your brother, with just this little stuff?"

He waved his hand and said, "The point is not here, but the subsequent effects that these reports will bring."

To be honest, the newspaper industry in the Hualan Empire is very developed, but to be frank, their ability to manipulate public opinion may not be as good as mine - no matter what I did before, I would send Su Lin to find my good brother Qi Maoyang to occupy the moral high ground first. It was a habit of life and I had long been accustomed to it.

Therefore, he never thought highly of the media system here before. He thought that public opinion was just a side job. Once things were done, someone would naturally help promote them. Why bother?

But for the people of the empire, this trick is still very effective.

Especially when most of these things are true - as we all know, the same sentence said in different ways will have different effects, just like the Poseidon Stone transaction, if you put it in a good way, it is to benefit the family, if you put it in a bad way, it becomes a "lesson from Poseidon", even the Holy Fire Cat Cult, which is beneficial to the country and the people, is not immune.

But I still have to say that Xu Shi was not possessed by the sea god. This is a pure smear. I would like to clarify this and hope everyone can open their eyes.

But no matter what, the shock it caused would definitely not be small. The Cat Cult had not yet established a firm foothold, and now it has been smeared like this. Even if it is designated as the state religion by the royal family, it is bound to be affected.

Because even the royal family was dragged in, this is a very dangerous signal, meaning that the Holy See is going to fight to the death.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have to involve the royal family. Wouldn't it be better to just target themselves?

It was obvious that my previous method of boiling frogs in warm water had gradually made them unable to cope with it, and now they just wanted to strangle me in the cradle, and maybe even call for a new world to come to an end to prevent future troubles.

"When will our ship arrive?"

After sorting out the causes and consequences, Xu Shi rubbed his temples tiredly, "Don't tell me it's today."

No one answered his question, and it was obvious that the cargo ship would dock today.

Otherwise, why did they choose to break the news in these few days? Of course, it was to disrupt his position to the greatest extent possible, so that he would be unable to focus on one thing and the other.

"Then get ready quickly."

Fortunately, Xu Shi did not lose his composure because of this. He quickly recovered and started to make arrangements.

"Xiaoling and Xiaofeng, if you two go to the church with Ke'an, public opinion will inevitably affect the Cat Cult. We need the Saint to come forward to stabilize it."

"Xiaoqin, go to the palace. Don't reveal your whereabouts. If anything unusual happens there, report to me immediately."

"Wuyou and I will go to the dock and watch our cargo ship dock safely."

"Chengcheng, you are not good at fighting. Staying at home at a time like this... No, you should stay with me."

"Master, then Master Xie..."

Pan Ling couldn't help but ask.

"There's no other way. We have to get away from her at this time."

Xu Shi gritted his teeth and said helplessly, "The Holy See is clearly using her as a breakthrough point. We can't give them this opportunity."

This is true. Other people are not affected by these reports, but Xie Qingyan may not be.

Given her current mental state, it would be a success if she could avoid going crazy after seeing something like this, not to mention that the Vatican was quite petty and allowed some of the tabloids to remain as they were.

Now there is even a comparison - if it were someone else, they would be in love with him Xu Shi, but for her, she would be a monster with ulterior motives.

Xie Qingyan is now very jealous. She gets angry when she sees herself getting close to others. You can imagine how damaging these things are to her.

Fortunately, she is not here at the moment - since the cold war, except for necessary contact, she doesn't even want to see Xu Shi. She either locks herself in the room or takes Ye Shanshan to an unknown place.

Her situation today is the latter, and now it seems like a blessing in disguise... right?

In fact, that might not be the case. She was even more worried about being alone, and she did not expect that Ye Shanshan alone could calm her master's anger.

So the situation now is very polarized. Either she knows nothing and gets through it safely, or...something big is going to happen.

But now is not the time to sit at home and analyze things. We must first stabilize the situation in all aspects.

“…How abominable.”

Even someone as good-tempered as Pan Ling couldn't help but curse. She certainly saw the purpose of the Holy See's actions, otherwise she wouldn't have been so anxious before.

In her opinion, this trick was a bit insidious, but it worked. From the master's expression, it could be seen that he was even a little overwhelmed.

"If you want to learn about public opinion warfare, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future."

Xu Shi said without further ado, waving his hand, "Hurry up and do your own thing. When you are done, try to find her and bring her home. Got it?"

"it is good."

Everyone has no objection.

Only Shen Qin was a little unhappy, and asked tentatively, "Brother, can Xiaoqin go to the dock with you? I still want to stay by your side and protect you."

She hasn't had much contact with her brother during this period, and she is just as jealous as her brother.

"…Then I'll go to the palace. Just be safe."

At the critical moment, Xia Wuyou didn't care too much and took the initiative to switch positions with her. "If the situation over there is fine, I will come back in time."

After all, the royal family only needs to confirm it, and they don’t need to worry about safety. Isn’t having Cheng Gujian enough?

"...Okay, go quickly and come back soon."

Xu Shi nodded, and everyone went their separate ways.

"Um, brother, Xiaoqin really didn't mean to be willful..."

On the way to the dock, Shen Qin couldn't help but explained aggrievedly.

This sounded a bit tea, but she actually just wanted to spend more time with Xu Shi - the fact was that since the establishment of the Cat Cult, she had rarely been able to accompany her brother.

The window paper had not been broken in the first place, and now he had witnessed what happened to Xie Qingyan... It was more of a crisis than a conspiracy.

"Well, I know. Our Xiaoqin is the best behaved, right?"

Xu Shi didn't blame her, but touched her head instead.

The person who is least worried is her. She couldn't even wake up before her memory was restored, let alone now.

"Uh-huh!"

Shen Qin nodded vigorously, "I will also protect my brother!"

"it is good."

As they were talking, they arrived at the dock.

"Have you confirmed when the cargo ship will arrive?"

Now they have their own exclusive area here, and the facilities and personnel are all from Night Sin City, which makes it much more convenient to do things.

"About an hour and a half, Mr. Xu."
