"I ......"

Hearing Xu Shi's question, Pan Ling was stuck for a while, and stayed where she was for a long time without making a sound.

It's not that she doesn't know the answer, it's that she doesn't know how to answer, or rather, she doesn't want to answer.

Because out of curiosity at that time, she did feel Luo Yu's thoughts, but the result she got was completely different from what she expected.

Both her father and Uncle Xu had thoughts under the surface, which made her a little uncomfortable, but she originally thought that Brother Luo Yu would be different from them, but he was the same in his heart...... The slightest wisp of darkness hidden under the light even made Miss Xiaoling shudder.

Why does Brother Luo Yu also ...... But even so, she deliberately skipped him just now, trying to avoid the parts related to him.

This is the little girl's own selfishness, after all, Luo Yu is a very important person to her, she hopes that the other party is different from others, maybe this time is just an example?

"Tell me the answer."

Xu Shi didn't give her this opportunity, stared into her eyes, and asked in a low and serious manner.

"Brother Luo Yu, he, he, he ......"

Pan Ling couldn't resist his tone, and said it all tremblingly.

Her tone was even a little mechanical, "He deliberately embarrassed you, and, he stood by and watched, and he didn't care about those attendants, he, he seemed to have it, and he had ......"

"What's it?"

“…… There is, get rid of their thoughts......"

Miss Xiaoling whispered to complete the words.

Listening to her say everything intermittently, Xu Shi nodded meaningfully.

It's really the same as I estimated...... After all, he still has to confirm it, and after discovering that Pan Ling has this ability, he moved his mind.

And this is not difficult for him - with the blessing of "Yujing", his use of "Evil Thoughts Entropy Increase" has long become more flexible than before, and it is one thing to be able to use it in a scope, and it is also possible to force others to confide in him like now.

It's hard to say how to face a high-level "upgrader", but it's still hand-held for this kind of beginner.

This practice does not leave seeds, and Xu Shi does not want to keep them, the little girl is the daughter of a friend, and it is too inhumane to give her this hand.

…… It's about the seeds of evil thoughts.

But obviously, even so, Pan Ling still couldn't resist such a mental impact, although her eyes were regaining clarity little by little, but the whole person collapsed on the stone like she had taken out her strength, panting heavily, and seemed to be a little out of breath.

It took a while for her to calm down completely.

"Woo, woo......"

But after returning to normal, she couldn't control her crying, "No, it shouldn't be like this, everyone...... Whew, I don't want to ......"

She didn't completely lose consciousness, she still knew what she had just done, and it was cruel for her to tell the dark side of the person she longed for.

The more Miss Xiaoling cried, the more sad she became.

Xu Shi just watched all this quietly, and when she had no strength to cry, she returned to her.

"Sad, right?"

He picked up Pan Ling and asked bluntly.

"Hmmm......"

Pan Ling nodded weakly, with a little complaint in her tone, "It's all, it's all your ......"

If you hadn't deliberately exposed my scars, I wouldn't have become like this.

In fact, her current mood is very conflicted, she is quite tired in the state of detachment, and she really wants to lean on Xu Shi to rest for a while.

But when she thought of what Uncle Xu had just done to her, she instinctively resisted and resisted.

"But you knew all that, didn't you?"

Xu Shi didn't care about her attitude, just continued to read calmly.

"You, what do you mean......"

His tone made Pan Ling feel a little weak for no reason, and asked in a snort.

"You know what your brother Luo Yu thinks of me, right?"

Xu Shi explained, "Coincidentally, I also know...... Now that I know he's going to be bad for me, do you still think there's something wrong with what I'm doing? ”

“……”

Miss Xiaoling was silent.

She couldn't refute Xu Shi's words, even if her father had taught her since she was a child, she had to fight back after being wronged, from this point of view, is there something wrong with his approach? No problem!

But she still plucked up the courage and said, "Just, even if that's the case, isn't it okay to do without ......?"

"Don't be so cruel?"

Xu Shi smiled, "Sit down and have a good chat with Yan Yuese, and then you can resolve all the contradictions and hold hands to eat the fruit?" ”

"It's that simple...... Wasn't that what we've been doing before? Does it work? ”

“……”

Pan Ling was not rude, she could hear that Xu Shi was saying that her ideas were too naïve in disguise.

She actually felt it herself, but why couldn't she......

When she was struggling, Xu Shi suddenly stretched out his hand and pinched her face twice.

"It hurts!"

Miss Xiaoling subconsciously shouted, "What are you doing, Uncle Xu?!" ”

These two times are not joking, Xu Shi really used his strength, and his cheeks were a little swollen when he saw her.

"I just want to bully you, is there a problem?"

Xu Shi looked indifferent, "Or do you say...... Are you angry? ”

Pan Ling wanted to say that of course she was angry, and you weren't angry when she pinched you twice for no reason?

But after realizing what kind of person Xu Shi was, she didn't dare to say so, she just rubbed her cheeks aggrievedly and shook her head gently, "Also, there is no ......."

"Really?"

Xu Shi joked, "Then I'll pinch it twice, right?" A little symmetry looks better. ”

“…… Really not angry. ”

Pan Ling unconsciously moved back, "But, but Uncle Xu, don't pinch me......"

"It's not right, Sister Xiaoling." Xu Shi said with a smile.

"Cai, there is no ......"

Miss Xiaoling subconsciously denied it, but suddenly realized something and looked at him with wide eyes.

"You're going to have times when you're not on the same page, right?"

Xu Shizheng said, "Just like now...... Since you have it yourself, is it normal for others to have it? ”

Pan Ling blinked her eyes, as if she ...... Really?

"Anyone will have some unclean little secret in their hearts, Sister Xiaoling."

Xu Shi smiled and sighed, "The difference is only more or less...... Your brother Luo Yu is also human, so it's normal for him to be like this, isn't it? ”

"That's, then you're ......"

Pan Ling bit her lip.

"Of course I have it, if I really want to say it, I may have a lot more darkness in my heart than ordinary people."

Xu Shi said generously, "Of course, I treat your father as a friend, so you don't have to worry, I will have any bad thoughts about you." ”

"I, I'm not worried about ......"

"It's good not to worry, thank you for your trust."

Xu Shi smiled happily, "But what I want to say more is that you shouldn't let your abilities become your burden." ”

"Huh?"

"It's an amazing ability to feel what's going on in other people's hearts."

Xu Shi said seriously, "So you should learn how to face all this correctly." ”

He saw it thoroughly, the little girl's essential heart disease is that she feels that there is too much negative energy around her, and everyone is in front of everyone and behind this feeling is really not good, and she can't find someone to talk to after she finishes it, and she will naturally become gloomy after a long time.

In a sense, this can be regarded as a complication of her ability to ascend.

The conflict that day was not the main problem, at most it was a trigger, or a fuse, after all, it involved her brother Luo Yu, otherwise she wouldn't have the courage to come to herself.

"Then, can you teach me how to deal with it?"

These words really aroused Pan Ling's interest, and she asked hurriedly.

"Well...... What advice I can only give you? ”

After thinking for a while, he said, "For example, when they don't exist and are related to you, you can also deal with them in advance according to the other party's ideas, so that you won't suffer if you do a good job." ”

That's the case, people with mind reading ability will still be plotted against by others, and it's too embarrassing to say it.

"Of course, it is also necessary to exercise and improve your own abilities, which you should not be able to control at will now? If you can retract and release freely, then you can turn off the ability on a regular basis, so that you can easily filter out a lot, right? ”

"Uh-huh."

Miss Xiaoling nodded again and again, Uncle Xu's method sounded very feasible.

But she still has a question, "Then Uncle Xu, you say...... In this world, is there really no one who has no secrets in his heart? ”

"Maybe there will be, like a newborn baby?"

Xu Shi half-jokingly, "But after all, such people are a minority, I haven't met them, and I guess you don't have ...... So if you encounter it, it's a surprise, and most people have secrets in their hearts. ”

"Oh."

Pan Ling responded, and the entanglement and sadness on her face faded a lot.

"Isn't it much more comfortable?"

Xu Shi couldn't help but touch her head.

"Hmm."

Miss Xiaoling didn't dodge, and gradually smiled.

The truth is that she never thought that things would turn out like this, but it is undeniable that after listening to Xu Shi's enlightenment, she did have a feeling of sudden enlightenment.

Because this is the first time she's had a heart-to-heart relationship with someone else, um, heart-to-heart? She had never shared her secret with anyone else before, so naturally there would be no one to relieve her boredom in her heart.

At most, one person can find a place where no one is around, find a stone or a big tree to talk to, but if that way treats the symptoms but not the root cause, it should still be uncomfortable.

“…… Thank you, Uncle Xu, your words are very helpful to me. ”

She sincerely thanked Xu Shi.

"You're welcome? If your father is my friend, then of course you are. ”

Xiao Xu waved his hand, "Besides, I also prefer to see girls laughing." ”

"Then, can I come to you like this in the future...... Chat? ”

These words made Pan Ling sound warm, and she couldn't help but ask more.

It's not bad to follow my sister to find Aunt Xia to learn swords, but that's my sister's hobby, not hers, and it is more attractive to her in comparison.

"If you will?"

Xu Shi didn't refuse, "You don't mind if I get into trouble with your brother Luo Yu." ”

"No, no, no! According to Uncle Xu, I should ...... Treat it with a normal heart? ”

The little girl hurriedly shook her head, "And you can rest assured, I won't tell anyone." ”

Of course, what she said was that she could perceive the dark things in Xu Shi's heart.

"It's okay to tell someone, I'm not a good person in the first place."

Xu Shi didn't care, "Of course, it would be better if you didn't say it." ”

"Why, you actually care a lot, if I really say it, you might spank me......"

Pan Ling muttered.

Xu Shi almost didn't fall off the stone, pinched the numb drops, felt it so clearly?

It's just a C-level mind-reading technique, right? If it goes up to B or A, will it be repaid? The S-class is even more unthinkable......

“…… Then you can't even say it. ”

Cautious's thoughts were ruthlessly pierced, he simply changed his expression, and scared her with a straight face, "You know what the consequences are, and you don't need me to tell you." ”

"Know, know ......"

Pan Ling resignedly agreed.

"Alright, it's not early, hurry up and go home to sleep."

Xu Shi didn't have a good airway, and before leaving, he didn't forget to give her a bottle of medical spray, "Remember to spray this on your face before you go back, it will reduce swelling in a few minutes...... Otherwise, others will think that I have done something to you. ”

"Oh."

Xiaoling girl Mumu's response, without waiting for her to say anything, Xu Shi had already walked away.

Looking at the back of this uncle, she held the medicine bottle tightly, and she was a little distracted for a while.

It's mostly weird...... He said before that he didn't care that he was lying, but he raised his face on the back panel to scare himself, and he was actually lying?

He said he was a bad guy? But he is actually quite honest in his badness, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is downright...... It's dark inside, but she still feels good when she chats, and she will enlighten herself very seriously......

Alas, human nature is so complicated.

picked up the spray and sprayed it on her face, feeling the slightest coolness coming, Pan Ling always felt that her mind was still a little messy.

Looks like I need to talk to my uncle more?

What she didn't realize was that Xu Shi's words were not completely selfless.

It is true to guide Xiaoling's sister in her heart, but there is actually another meaning in his words - your brother Luo Yu is also a human, since this is the case, there is no need to mythologize him, right?

If the little sister can keep such thoughts, then the longing and expectation for Luo Yu in her heart will shrink a lot unconsciously.

Hey, isn't this a kind of ___?

……

Whether this is ___ or not is still a matter of words, but it is really time for Xu Shi to leave Silver Pine Island.

"Brother Xu, I've arranged it for you."

The next morning, Pan Cheng found him and handed him a few papers.

"I'm going to stay on the island, I can't go with you, these are some documents that may be used, you can take them first if they are useful or not."

Brother Pan explained, "But I called Xiaomei to join you, you are not familiar with each other, let her be your guide, she also has a few friends in the palace, it is estimated that it will be more convenient at that time." ”

"Also, this is our sound transmission stone, what base station of yours hasn't been repaired yet, let's use this contact if there is anything."

"Then thank you Brother Pan."

Xu Shi didn't expect him to arrange it so clearly, and looking at his posture, Xiaoling's sister definitely didn't complain.

"Yes."

Pan Cheng laughed, "Anyway, I'm also an island owner, and I will definitely help you where I can help." ”

"Okay."

Xu Shi was not polite, "We have to take your boat, our ship will trouble Brother Pan to take care of it more, Xingchuan and Shanshan will also stay to take care of it, what is there to communicate in time?" ”

"No problem."

Pan Cheng agreed happily, but suddenly pulled him mysteriously, "That, Brother Xu, I still have something to tell you...... It's not suitable here, come to my house and say. ”

"Oh?"

Xu Shi didn't react for a while, and followed him to his house.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw that the two sisters Pan Feng and Pan Ling were dressed up well, and the faces of the two sisters-in-law were also very serious.

"What is this?"

"That's right, I want my two daughters to go with you."

Pan Cheng is colorful.

“…… Of course, this is not a problem, why is there such a big battle? ”

Xu Shi couldn't help laughing.

"No, you didn't understand what I meant."

Pan Cheng shook his head, "I mean, not only now, if you want to go back to your city-state in the future, can you let them go back with you?" ”

“…… Why do you think this way? ”

Xu Shi blinked, and instantly understood his subtext, but he still had to ask, "If you go out to see for a long time, Brother Luo Yu can also do it, right?" ”

"I won't hide it from you, Brother Xu."

Pan Cheng sighed, "My original idea is the same as what you said, wait for another year or two, let them go to Luo Yu, and if it is good, it will take root in the empire." ”

"But I can also see that there are many great things about your city-state, and if nothing else, I am quite surprised and even frightened by those weapons."

"So I thought, should I send someone to study? Even if I know you a little bit about it, it seems like a better way to go to the main city of the Empire than to go to the main city of the Empire? ”

"Of course I can't leave at such an old age, and I don't feel at ease if I change someone else...... It just so happens that these two leather children don't let me worry about staying at home, so why don't you let them go? ”

"I asked them, and they were all very willing...... Of course, the decision is yours, which is why I approached you to ask. ”

Xu Shi was shocked.

Should I say that Pan Cheng is far-sighted? Invisibly, the concept of "studying abroad", which should not exist in this world, was the first to be mentioned by him.

It's not that he hasn't thought about these things himself, but his original idea was to talk slowly after meeting the royal papacy of the Hualan Empire, but he didn't expect to let Pan Cheng take the lead.

It's not easy, Brother Pan.

"Then let me ask one more question, is Brother Pan making such a decision on behalf of the Hualan Empire? Or does it represent you Silver Pine Island? ”

He asked, smiling.

"Of course, it represents our Silver Pine Island, I'm just a small island owner, how can I represent the empire?"

Pan Cheng also smiled, "Or say it a little smaller...... Just for our Pan family. ”

There was a bit of irony in his words, and it was obvious that he also had his own grievances with the Hualan Empire.

From this point of view, sending two daughters to study by Xu Shi's side is not only far-sighted, but also has a certain ambition.

"Since that's the case, then of course I can't refuse, we're friends."

The smile on Xu Shi's face was even worse, he liked the other party's straightforwardness very much, "I'll give you one more promise, no matter what happens between me and the Empire, in the future, between Silver Pine Island and our Night Sin City, we can maintain such a relationship, and when the route is stable, Brother Pan can also send other people to communicate with us." ”

The fact is that he wishes Pan Cheng had such an idea, because he has already used this place as an outpost base station for his overseas expansion, and giving the other party such convenience is definitely a win-win good thing.

"But I want to warn you, it may not be easy to follow us, and you may suffer a lot."

"I'm not afraid!"

Pan Feng took the lead in expressing his position, and also patted the stuffy gourd sister beside him, "Xiaoling won't be afraid, right?" ”

"Uh-huh!"

Miss Xiaoling also nodded vigorously.

"That's good."

Xu Shi was very satisfied with their attitude, "Then I have only one condition." ”

"Brother Xu, you say?"

"I would like to call this kind of relationship 'study abroad', so since it is studying, you must have a name."

Xu Shi smiled and shouted outside, "Don't worry! Summer worry-free! ”

"Come on, come on, what's the shout...... What's wrong? ”

Xia Kitten was packing up her things, and she was confused when she was called by him.

"Well, I've got an apprentice for you."

Xu Shi pointed at Pan Feng, "From today onwards, the two of them will be considered a master-apprentice relationship, what does Brother Pan think?" ”

"It couldn't be better."

Pan Cheng has no opinion on this.

"That'...... The master is above, please accept the apprentice's worship! ”

Pan Feng has no opinion, the fact is that she has long regarded Xia Wuwu as a master in the past few days, and the things she taught herself are much more useful than those that Luo Yuge took the time to guide.

"Ah, you don't have to kneel down so formally......"

Xia Wuwu was still a little unaccustomed to it, and hurriedly helped her up, "You can just call me sister, I don't care about this very much." ”

In fact, she wanted to complain even more, and her name was one more, right......

"Good master! Yes, master! ”

Pan Feng responded happily.

"And Miss Xiaoling......"

"Master, Master......"

There is no need for him to say this, Pan Ling has already done the same with her sister and saluted Xu Shi.

If she wants to choose a master, of course, it is Xu Shi, and she has learned a lot from the other party last night.

Although she is still a little afraid of Xu Shi, she doesn't hate it in general.

"Okay now, let's be close to each other?"

Pan Cheng laughed when he saw this, and dragged a box as he spoke, "Well, in that case, this is considered the tuition fee for Brother Xu?" ”

When I opened it, it was full of gold and silver coins.

The people on Silver Pine Island don't use currency, and everyone is more accustomed to bartering, but the main city of the empire is different, and gold, silver and copper coins are the mainstream way of trading.

As the owner of the island, he will naturally have some reserves.

"Brother Pan, what are you doing here?"

Xu Shi waved his hand, "We are brothers and friends, and it's boring to come here." ”

Good guy, this is not only the first to put forward the concept of studying abroad, but you have also considered giving gifts to teachers, right?

"It's different, one yard is one yard."

Pan Cheng had a tough attitude, "In the future, I will inevitably ask you to take care of these two bear children...... Isn't it clear that my brother is still settling accounts? ”

“…… Okay, okay. ”

Seeing this, Xu Shi could only reluctantly accept it, and didn't tell him that he didn't lack this here......

"Oh, it's finally on my mind."

Pan Cheng breathed a sigh of relief, "Then, it's not too early, I'll send you on the boat?" ”

"I'm going to come back to see my father and mother more often in the future."

The two female dependents reluctantly said goodbye to their daughters.

"Sisters-in-law, don't worry, we will have more time to communicate in the future."

Xu Shi smiled, "Don't say anything else, I'm afraid I'll be back in a while, and our base station hasn't been repaired yet." ”

Hearing him say this, the two mothers were a lot more relieved.

"I'm sorry for you to take care of them more."

Pan Cheng nodded and shook hands with Xu Shi vigorously, "Also, Brother Xu." ”

"Have a nice trip!"

Pry away the protagonist's potential harem pinch again, and the little ones have the way the little ones deal with it (fog)

Xu Shi:

I sat there, and Brother Pan and his sisters-in-law kowtowed to me first.

Sisters Kaede and Ling will knock me again.

The Pan family is all finished.

Luo Yu respectfully kowtows to me! （bushi）
