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

If it was Pan Ling a year ago, she would definitely feel sorry for the other person, but now...

All I can say is, let go of the desire to help others and respect their fate.

She had said everything she needed to say, so what else could she do? Anyway, this wouldn't change anything. From a selfish point of view, it was actually a good thing that she was willing to train Xu Ying, who had been brushed like a blank slate. Not only could it save the master a lot of trouble, but it would also make it easier for the master to control her, right?

"So, sometimes I wonder, in addition to arranging "supervisors" to rectify the chaos, is it true that "heavenly justice" itself will do something to these so-called "protagonists" to make their lives smoother?"

Pan Ling didn't care what Qin Yiyan thought and just finished her analysis calmly.

This was an idea she had after her previous exchange with Mr. Wen. Before she could tell others, she simply regarded the silly red-haired girl in front of her as a tree hole.

At least that's what she felt. Otherwise, even with the help and advice from her master, her feelings towards Luo Yu would not have changed so quickly.

Even my stupid sister was the same. Although she was more deeply involved than me before, she gradually came to her senses and drew a clear line between herself and her.

And all this, in the final analysis, is caused by meeting Xu Shi, or in other words, by deviating from the original plot track, right?

In the master’s words, the so-called “protagonist” has lost his “filter”.

So this is a very interesting thing. Regardless of whether it is having or losing, where does the "filter" itself come from?

Obviously it didn't jump out from between the rocks.

The greater possibility is that "heaven's will" is behind the arrangement.

So how do they do this?

Ok……

She probably had some ideas of her own, but these ideas were not mature yet, so she couldn't say them out immediately.

There's no point telling it to Qin Yiyan, she has to be able to understand it.

Pan Ling is now a mature child. She knows that if she has any ideas, especially those that can be called great discoveries, it is best to make them as perfect as possible before going to tell her master about them. This way, it seems that her long time as his apprentice is not in vain.

Besides, if I really tell a lot of nonsense, I might get spanked by my master...

"...As for Luo Yu, now that you mentioned that, I seem to have discovered that he is not as good as I thought."

Qin Yiyan didn't know what she was thinking. She was still a step behind on the previous channel.

But she also had her own questions, "But then again, what kind of person do you think Xu Shi is?"

"You mean the master?"

Pan Ling blinked her eyes and said, "Master... is a bad guy."

"Um?!"

Qin Yiyan obviously didn't expect that Pan Ling, the apprentice, would say this about her master, and her eyes widened.

"Master is a bad guy. His human nature has always been... pretty bad."

The little disciple's tone was a bit like complaining, "You don't need to ask me about this kind of thing, you can see it yourself, right?"

Of course I can see that! But it's weird for you to say that, you know?

The red-haired sister was dumbfounded. In fact, her starting point for asking this question was not very good. She was more or less intending to "refute you with your words".

Luo Yu may not be excellent, but is Xu Shi necessarily good? If you still blindly follow him, does that mean that Xu Shi also has the so-called "filter"?

If you say no, then why would you follow a guy with bad character? If so, is he the same type of person as Luo Yu?

There is actually a bit of preconceived personal emotion here. Just because she discovered that Luo Yu is not excellent, it doesn't mean that she can admit that Xu Shi is excellent. How can it be so easy without being awkward?

But since you, a little girl, admitted it so readily, how can I continue?

"Look, he's in a hurry."

Pan Ling has learned a lot from her master, and even copied his way of speaking. "You haven't forgotten that I can hear your thoughts, have you? How could I not know what you are thinking?"

"..."

Qin Yiyan turned his head away guiltily, and in his haste he forgot about this incident. It was so embarrassing.

"Of course, I'm telling the truth."

Pan Ling continued, "Because my master told me that he is not the 'protagonist' but the 'villain'."

"Rebel?"

The silly red-haired girl frowned.

"Yes, he complained to me, saying that if the original plot was followed, he would probably be stepped on by the 'protagonist' of their city-state as a stepping stone, and then die miserably or something like that."

Pan Ling nodded, "It was only by chance that this outcome was avoided."

A bit of serendipity?

Qin Yiyan didn't believe such frivolous remarks. After all, the Hualan Empire had experienced a great turmoil. I thought that what the city-state had experienced in Xu Shi would not be any worse than here.

No wonder his actions seemed so targeted... So you've already experienced this once? You're using your previous experience to play with us?

She suddenly felt a little unconvinced.

"Don't be unconvinced. If you say so, Master also killed the 'protagonist' of their city-state before, didn't he?"

Pan Ling must have been standing with Xu Shi without thinking, and there was nothing wrong with what she said.

It’s not like he came here to vent his anger because he lost before, but he was winning all the time.

"As for why I can tell you so calmly that my master is a bad person, it's because it doesn't matter to me at all."

She continued, "Whether he is a good guy or a bad guy, he is my master and taught me a lot when I was confused."

Before she met Xu Shi, she was just a little girl with no opinion and a dark heart. The final outcome would most likely be that she would be together with Luo Yu in a confused manner.

Looking at it from today's perspective, she feels that her life is over.

"In other words, the Master's character, what he wants to do, and his abilities are not in conflict."

She drank the last bite of dessert and stood up slowly. "After all, not everything in this world can be simply defined as 'good' or 'bad', don't you think, Knight Commander Qin?"

"This……"

Qin Yiyan didn't know how to answer.

All I can say is that her recent experiences have overturned many of her perceptions, and there are many things she wants to say, but she doesn't have the confidence to do so.

"Of course, I believe it's not that easy for you to change your mind. You might even think that because I've been with my master for so long, I'll unconsciously defend him no matter what I say or do."

Pan Ling expressed her understanding. "So, my suggestion is, is it better to use your own eyes to see and analyze it?"

The red-haired elder sister did not comment, but this was exactly what she meant.

"Just do it according to your own ideas. It just so happens that you still have very good conditions."

The young apprentice stretched and said, "I won't bother you, maid sister."

She still has to take care of Grandpa Wen later, as well as a bunch of cat-related matters that she needs to deal with. She doesn't have that much free time to chat with the other person for the whole day.

Qin Yiyan rolled his eyes. Is it the maid sister again?

I'm not a maid! I'm not!

Don't try to brainwash me, this is just a temporary solution!

...Forget it, it’s not that important whether it’s true or not.

The important thing is to put down the filter and take a good look at who Xu Shi is from another angle.

She cleaned up the debris on the ground, took two deep breaths, and prepared to go see what he was doing.

……

Xu Shi was very busy.

All I can say is that this guy really likes to be the big shot, and he insisted on giving himself the title of regent.

As a result, he is now unable to spare the time, and many matters of the Hualan Empire have to be handled by him.

The main reason is that Dongfang Xiao's ability needs to be improved, and some things are difficult for her to handle satisfactorily by herself.

Damn, it seems that private teaching is not enough, I have to continue to teach hard and fill her little head with my great knowledge.

Besides that, I also have a lot of things to deal with on my side.

For example, the original idea of ​​clearing the "rust fog".

There were not many people left alive in the Vatican. Xu Ying and Qin Yiyan woke up one after another, and the other two were a little less likely to survive.

For example, the intelligence agent Han Jingchuan, although given adequate medical treatment, he still could not be saved and stopped breathing two nights ago.

Xu Shi RIP him for a second, but the other party was just rescued by chance. If he can't survive, then he can't survive. He can only blame his lack of strong will to survive.

It’s definitely not my problem!

It’s the other person that matters.

And Lu Baiyan finally lived up to everyone's expectations, escaped from danger and woke up.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Xu Shi, who was looking at him with affection.

"Brother Lu, you finally woke up."

Chapter 312 Have you had enough of eavesdropping, little maid?

2023-11-07

Like every person who has just woken up from a dream, Lu Baiyan was still a little confused when he saw Xu Shi in front of him.

"When?"

His squinting eyes widened a little and he murmured softly.

He immediately saw the various tubes inserted into his body, and he subconsciously struggled again, "What is this?"

"Are you awake?"

Xu Shi smiled and said, "I'm sorry, we didn't survive the battle with the Holy See. This is heaven."

Although he didn't know whether there was a concept of heaven in the culture of the Hualan Empire, he still chose to use this term as a joke.

"...Brother Xu, please stop teasing me."
