"Is this all you're supposed to do?"

"Ah."

Zuo Le nodded. Since he planned to work with Tu Mi, he no longer intended to hide anything from her.

However, Tu Mi didn't quite understand the ins and outs of it.

Why would the church let these gangsters in the dock area handle its affairs?

"This doesn't seem like the work of a street cleaner. How do you know this is related to the Holmes Church?"

Zuo Le noticed the confusion in the stray dog's eyes and slowed his pace slightly.

"You don't think that the Church of Light just goes out every day to fight black beasts and monsters, then comes home to pray and praise the Holy Light, and that's all there is to it, do you?"

Tu Mi looked disdainful, scoffing at Zuo Le's belief that she knew nothing.

"Of course not. Don't think I don't know anything. Of course I know that there are dark places in the church too."

Have you seen it before?

"What have you seen?"

"The dark side of the church?"

"..." Tu Mi remained silent. She had never actually seen it, only read about it in books.

Humans cannot imagine things they have not seen; even if they want to imagine darkness, they must have seen the darkest side of it.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Zuo Le continued:

"I know that we can get such tasks here because Xu Jing's boss has given similar orders before."

Whether it's "joint law enforcement" or "sending Tuqi to the lawless zone".

All of this clearly reveals that Xu Jing's "boss" is a member of the church.

And just as Zuo Le had guessed.

Their relationship was one-way, with Xu Jing always in a subordinate position.

If this 'boss' encounters some problems that are not convenient to handle openly, he will arrange for Xu Jing to solve them.

This is Zuo Le's opportunity.

"I still don't quite understand." Tu Mi shook her head.

"What's so hard to understand? Neither the Holly Light Church nor the police force is really suited to do dirty work."

"Dirty work? Is it difficult to do?"

“The problem of dirty work is never easy or difficult, but dirty. Since it is dirty, it is most suitable to let someone like Xu Jing do it.”

At this point in the explanation, Tu Mi understood:

"But if you help Xu Jing with her work and it succeeds, shouldn't the credit go to her?"

"Channels are more important than ability, and platforms are stronger than individuals." Zuo Le shrugged, completely unconcerned that his credit had been stolen.

"What do you mean?"

"I don't have a way to connect with the boss, so I don't have a platform to showcase my abilities. If I want the church to see my abilities, I have to give up the credit."

"They'll only become aware of my existence when the church finds Xu Jing useful."

Zuo Le briefly explained his thoughts.

The feeling is too complicated:

"It's so troublesome that you have to go through all this trouble to join a church."

Zuo Le smiled upon hearing this, there was nothing she could do.

Even for ordinary people, it wouldn't be this tortuous and difficult.

The higher the level of the platform, the more it selects but does not cultivate talent. Companies that can recruit from 985 universities will never recruit from diploma mills.

Zuo Le's current situation is very serious.

Even if it's not as outrageous as the Japanese civil service exam, it's not much easier.

So when Brother Zuo heard Wild Dog speaking up for him, he just smiled.

We walked to the beverage shop on the side of the road.

Zuo Le bought a bottle of lemonade for Tu Mi, and then got himself a bottle of wasabi flavor.

He handed her the soda, took a sip himself, savoring the wasabi-infused gas, then let out a long sigh and remarked:

"Rootless stray dogs are always like this; they have to fight for every step they take."

Tu Mi looked at the soda he handed her, her expression slightly conflicted:

"Tuqi already told me that in such a chaotic place, I shouldn't drink beverages that have been out of my sight."

"And then?" Zuo Le was a little stunned.

"I didn't see when you opened the bottle, you didn't drug me, did you?"

Zuo Le's lips twitched upon hearing this, his tone vicious:

"It's over, you can drink it and that's it!"

"Provocation?"

Chapter 111 The Moment of Disciplining a Young Girl

The humorous wild dog finally accepted the soda and drank it with a contented expression.

She loves junk food, whether it's instant noodles, potato chips, spicy strips, or soda.

That's how happy stray dogs are!

After downing a bottle of beverage in no time, Tu Mi felt exceptionally energized.

"So what do we say now? Investigate this Zheng Henian?"

"Why investigate him?" Zuo Le was still struggling with the wasabi soda.

Tu Mi looked at him hesitantly, even wondering if she had missed something.

"You didn't want to join the Tribunal, so go and complete the church's mission now."

Because she felt that once she accepted a task, she had to do it; that was the normal procedure.

Upon hearing this, Zuo Le stroked his chin and gave her a slightly disdainful look:

"Stop with the humor. Your legs are shaking just strolling through a bar street, and you're in such a hurry to do a mission?"

Normally, Tu Mi would definitely be dissatisfied with Zuo Le's evaluation of her.

However, after walking around with Zuo Le today, she found that this person does seem to have some merit.

Look at the way those thugs looked at him, calling him "Brother Zuo" one after another, which completely intimidated Tu Mi, that stray dog.

It can only be said that blond-haired men do have a special attraction to naive young girls.

"So what do you plan to do?"

"Just do what you were supposed to do. Didn't Xu Jing give you a month?"

"So what do we do now?"

Zuo Le glanced at Tu Mi's small figure:

"Of course I'll train you. I can't let you keep holding me back like this, can I?"

Although Tu Mi often belittled herself for being incompetent and knew she was indeed a burden, she still couldn't help but speak sarcastically when she heard Zuo Le say such things about her:

"Damn it, I'm a piece of trash!"

After saying this, Tu Mi clearly felt Zuo Le pause for a moment.

She thought Zuo Le would comfort her, but unexpectedly he added:

"Ok, I know."

"Get out of here!"

Unfortunately, the stray dog's anger was meaningless.

After leaving the bar street in the dock area, Zuo Le and Tu Mi immediately returned to Jingkong Academy.

Tu Mi remained sullen throughout the journey, but Zuo Le didn't seem to care much.

Back in the dorm, Tu Mi took off Zuo Le's windbreaker and hat, threw herself onto the bed, and covered her face with a pillow:

"I know I'm not very capable..."

When a person has no value, everything they say is wrong.

Actually, when he first transmigrated, his physical condition was not much better than Tu Mi's. There was even a time when he grabbed Tu Mi by the neck and she mocked him for being weak.

However, his personal will is relatively stable, and his growth goals are very clear.

Zuo Le could completely understand Tu Mi's current state.

The characteristic of being "abandoned by the Holy Light" is completely contrary to the environment in which one grew up.

Surrounded by the holy light of faith, she would never be able to grow normally if she stayed in the church, and no one could teach her, not even Tuqi.

But once outside the church environment, this stray dog ​​has actually revealed some of its talents.

For example, the time the two summoned each other in the Mirror Sea.

Tu Mi's sensitivity to the power of darkness is truly astonishing.

Even during the summoning process, Dark Star Crystals condensed, triggering a riot by the Black Beasts.

This undoubtedly shows that she has potential, but it has not been properly developed.

Now is the time to discipline the girl.

Zuo Le walked to the bedside, pulled Tu Mi off the bed, and leaned down to whisper in her ear:

"Tu Mi, you're so easily discouraged by the slightest setback. That kind of attitude is definitely not good. I can guide you in your cultivation, but you also need to take it seriously."

This was a rare gentle tone from Zuo Le. After hearing it, Tu Mi slowly moved the pillow away from her face.

Feeling Zuo Le's breath so close to hers, she couldn't help but lean closer and purse her lips:

How do I practice?

“There’s something wrong with your cultivation method. We need to start by improving your breathing technique.”

In fact, after observing for a period of time, Zuo Le has discovered the biggest drawback of Tu Mi.

That's physical constitution.

Very poor, even below the average level.

Furthermore, she has no way to learn Holy Light abilities and is completely without offensive capabilities.

This prevented her from even being a regular female cultivator, let alone establishing her own fighting style and system.

This is a core issue.

Zuo Le's own style is based on comprehensive qualities, so when he trains Tu Mi, he also intends to improve her in the direction of comprehensive qualities.

The biggest problem is the cultivation technique.

Zuo Le's own Demonic Breathing technique originated from Tu Mi's suggestion and the guidance of Meng Dehai and Lu Chaoxi.

Finally, it was completed according to his own characteristics and circumstances.

When Zuo Le first created the Demon Breathing Technique, Tu Mi imitated her own Dark Breathing Technique.

It must be said that her ability to copy is truly outrageous, but the extent of her shortcomings is still astonishing.

The power of Zuo Lemo's breathing technique lies in the baptism and strengthening of himself by the energy of the void, making it a cultivation method that comprehensively enhances one's abilities.

The copy of the one made from Tu Mi seems to have been completely emasculated in terms of physical fitness.

Only the effect of enhancing spiritual power is retained.

But she has no means of attacking now, so spiritual power is completely useless to her.
