"So you didn't even think about cooperating with the Holy See, did you?"

Walking out of the gate of the Holy See, Xie Qingyan couldn't cry or laugh.

If you can't see that this bad man is just playing tricks, she has lived in vain all these years...... Anyway, I know that you don't dare to touch a single hair of Lao Tzu, and what can you do if you ride on your head to and pee?

Just ride it.

Of course, no matter how good the wind is, you can't wave the boundless, if Xu Shizhen comes to say, "Let your saint come to me as a flannel ball", you see that people can't resist the pressure to cut you...... Asking for a name is not a small reaction from the Holy See, not to mention such a request that can definitely be regarded as disrespectful in their ears.

But if it is to kill Luo Yu and let Qin Yiyan be a maid, it doesn't seem to be so excessive - the main thing is that Xu Shi's character is placed here, if it is him, everyone really won't think there is any problem.

As for the result, naturally Xu Shi and his entourage still left the Holy See with a swagger.

"Uh-huh."

Regarding the question of his fiancée, Xu Shi was noncommittal, and grabbed Pan Ling who was hiding in the back in a good mood, "Don't be a transparent person in the back, I'll give you a quiz." ”

"Huh?"

"If they really agree to the teacher's request, what should we do next?"

"Ah......h

The stupid apprentice didn't know what he was thinking, but he reacted quickly when he heard the words.

"If the Holy See would really agree to such an excessive request because of the words of an outsider, it proves that they are a little too unscrupulous."

Miss Xiaoling frowned and analyzed, "There will be no benefit in cooperating with such a person, even your own people can sell what they say, let alone a partner?" ”

"Go on."

Xu Shi's face was happy, he hadn't taken much care of her recently, but it was obvious that her level had risen a lot, and it seemed that the stupid apprentice had learned a lot and grown a lot in the matter of the Sea God Stone.

"But since the other party has made a gesture, we will veto it on the spot, and we can only say ourselves who will suffer."

Pan Ling nodded and continued, "If it's me, I will choose to temporarily reach a cooperation, release some benefits from the control range, and then choose the right time to break away with one blow." ”

"This is the apprentice you taught."

Xie Qingyan complained faintly, "The more I look at it, the more I feel that you are a ...... carved out of a mold."

It's not good, it seems that Xu Shi is only relieved, but for her, it is more shocking - to tell the truth about the dog woman herself, the answer she can give is estimated to be similar.

But don't forget, it's only been a few months since Pan Ling became an apprentice for a while.

It's not a long time, and it's a great thing to make such a big progress, or change.

When I first saw him, he was still like a little white flower, but now he has been completely cultivated by you to have a black belly......

You're doing a good job, Xu someone. (stick reading)

"Thank you, Master, for the compliment."

The stupid apprentice's face did not change, and accepted this complaint, and it could be seen that she was quite satisfied with it.

So the one who is close to the ink is black, I'm afraid that's what it means, right?

"It's better to exaggerate the tone."

Xu Shi also smiled, made a mistake with his two fingers, and jokingly flicked the head of his apprentice, "It's hard for you to praise Master Xie, don't discourage people's enthusiasm." ”

“…… Don't mess with the master. ”

Pan Ling rubbed her forehead, and there was a little more grievance in her tone, "I still have a question for you." ”

Some little fools finally realized that the childishness of their master is far heavier than they imagined, why can't they see that you have a positive shape at any time? And can you stop playing your brain, you're going to be stupid......

"Just ask."

"What I want to ask is, Master, your own attitude towards cooperation with the Holy See."

Miss Xiaoling said, "Because in my opinion, no matter what, it is a better option to cooperate with both the Holy See and the royal family at the same time." ”

"Why do you think that?"

Xu Shi raised his eyebrows and asked with interest.

"Because it maximizes our benefits, doesn't it?"

"Partnering with both the Holy See and the royal family means that we can better balance both sides in the future. ”

"For example, the difference in attitude and treatment, for example, if one of them is appropriately snubbed, then if they want not to fall behind, they will definitely lower their bottom line, and we can also get more benefits through this, right?"

"On the contrary, if we only choose one side or the other, there will be no such competition between partners...... It can even lead to the side that failed to cooperate with us to completely tear up the face, is this a good thing for us? ”

"But you didn't do that, master...... Are you worried about the papal see's hypocrisy and wrongdoing? But since the other party has lowered its posture, it actually means that they are willing to make concessions, and there should be no more concerns in this regard. ”

This is the strangest thing she thinks, now is obviously the best time, but what Xu Shi made is not the best choice, and even the worst choice in her opinion is not an exaggeration.

Is it not taken into account? Pan Ling didn't think so, how could the master not be aware of the things that she could figure out?

In her opinion, the only possible explanation is really the same as what Xu Shi said, because she is cautious, she would rather give up her interests than try to be quick for a while...... But this is very different from the master's personality.

Even if she has been in contact with Xu Shi for the shortest time, she can clearly feel that Xu Shi is not a person who will be chosen by personal feelings, even if she really wants to get the Holy See a hand, it is impossible to make trouble like this...... The so-called lack of positive shape is actually just a protective color, and whoever really thinks so is a fool.

That's why she felt strange, she couldn't figure it out...... That's probably why I've been silent just now.

"That's what you think?"

Xu Shi's smile became brighter and brighter, "It seems that you have really learned a lot, and it is not in vain that you have been carefully cultivated by your teacher for so long." ”

"But you still don't think about it, or you wouldn't ask such a question."

"Huh?"

Pan Ling was confused, and the mature image that she had finally condensed before was also beaten back to her original shape by this sentence and became cute.

"Let me ask you, regardless of whether the Holy See acts or not, what is our original plan for the next step?"

"It is through the royal family to open a new denomination ......"

Pan Ling replied without thinking, but suddenly woke up as she spoke, "Ah......hhh

The meaning of Xu Shi is self-evident.

No matter how low the posture of the Holy See is, it is impossible to pinch its nose and agree to such a thing, because this is a matter of the bottom line.

To take a very similar example, if the royal family and the Holy See are compared to two people who are eating, then all he has to do now is to pour the dishes from the papal plate into his own bowl, and then smash the other's plate, intending to starve him to death.

Only when the Holy See can accept it can there be ghosts.

This is no longer a case of gaining benefits through micro-manipulation, and of course it cannot be applied with this kind of thinking.

"Got it?"

Xu Shi rubbed her head, "Since it is impossible for the teacher to cooperate with them in essence, then why bother with those twists and turns?" Just play them around. ”

You still have to practice, silly apprentice.

Of course, in his opinion, his own apprentice can take this into account, which can be regarded as a great progress.

Moreover, whether it should be said or not, her considerations are almost not influenced by personal emotions, and they are completely out of rational analysis to strive for more interests for her side - obviously, the former Luo Yuge can no longer affect her thinking.

Although Xu Shi didn't think that she would have any cruel feelings for Luo Yu for a long time, let alone jokingly say something like "Are you really afraid of killing him for your teacher", the reaction of the good apprentice can still make him a lot happier.

Herein lies the difference between active and reactive.

"Oh......"

Pan Ling nodded thoughtfully, "The master is right, the apprentice is taught...... Wrong. ”

She suddenly noticed a very bottom-level question, "Even if you say so, Master, then before you completely tear your face with the Holy See, you can actually take the same value, right?" ”

It's like the Poseidon Stone transaction manipulated by the master before, which was also blown out of the bubble before it was punctured.

Well, it doesn't seem to make a difference to treat the Holy See in the same way?

This question seemed to be getting more and more complicated, and thinking about it, the stupid apprentice's eyes began to turn in circles.

"Well...... There are two reasons for this. ”

Xu Shi did not hesitate to answer, "First, because the Holy See's dependence on us is not as strong as the royal family, the royal family needs our help to reduce the loss, but the Holy See itself did not have much loss in the Poseidon Stone incident, which I remember is still counted by your own hand." ”

This is true at all, because the Holy See's treatment of the Poseidon Stone is originally different from the other two parties, as I said before, as long as it is linked to words like "god master", even if it is garbage, there are a lot of people who are willing to pay for it.

In such a situation, it would be far-fetched to say that they also have losses, and maybe they have made a lot of money...... Even if it was the Poseidon Stone that they had hoarded before, they had a way to digest it, and it would be good to change the packaging and start over, right, they don't need to change the tricks.

Not to mention that they are not of the same heart internally, or like the royal family, the attitude of Cheng Gujian and the little empress, or even Cheng Gujian alone, can represent everything, and the purpose of talking about cooperation is the same as what was said before, more to balance the royal family.

The probability that there will be no follow-up after people talk about your conditions is very high, and at that time it should be them themselves who have been pulled, no matter how long the cooperation period is, the benefits that can be obtained will be much less than on paper, and there will be a lot of unnecessary trouble.

Thankless things, he didn't bother to bother.

"That'...... The second point? ”

Pan Ling thought about it, it really made sense, and continued to ask.

"Think for yourself."

Xu Shi sold the guanzi, and after leaving such a sentence, the topic was terminated.

“…… Master, can we stop being like this all the time? ”

The stupid apprentice wanted to cry without tears, and she could only say that although she hadn't experienced the physical one, she didn't know how many times she had experienced the spiritual one......

Even if it's to train yourself, you can't go back to this trick!

I don't have to think about it, I just have to listen!

"No, no, no."

Xu Shi shook his head very scoundrelly, but still gave her a little hope, "If you really can't think of it, just ask your little sister, she should know." ”

"Little Senior Sister?"

Pan Ling blinked, and immediately turned her head to look at Xia Ke'an, who was eating melons on the side, "If you know, tell me, okay?" ”

"Me?"

The old aunt looked up at her, and after a little thought, straightened her chest and said, "Then you have to treat me to something delicious." ”

"Yes, whatever you want to eat, you can mention it!"

The stupid apprentice agreed, which was much easier than doing homework.

There is immaturity in her body that has not faded, and she occasionally wants to be lazy.

"Then let's go now!"

The white-haired Lori was so happy that she couldn't wait to take her shopping.

"It's weird."

Xie Qingyan was also a little curious when he saw this, "I can't think of what the second point is...... Does that little kid know? You're not lying, are you? ”

Of course, she also knew that Xia Ke'an was not really a child, and was even much older than her...... But who made you pretend to be tender every day with a Lori, in that case, it's a little brat.

"I said she knew, she just knew."

Xu Shi's riddle addiction is not over yet, and he has a style of a charlatan, "So it seems that you are not as good as a little child, haha." ”

"Then hurry up."

The dog woman is now emotionally unstable, and she is easy to blow up her hair if she is a little casual, so she pinched him on the waist angrily, or the kind with tentacles in both directions.

"Hey, murder your husband, right?"

Xu Shi hurriedly bounced away, "It's not good to be so impulsive...... Heavenly secrets must not be revealed. ”

"Who told you that I'm not as good as a little brat?!"

Xie Qingyan didn't buy it, and said step by step, "You have to say one, two, three today." ”

"Don't divulge the secrets of heaven."

Xu Shi's eyes became serious, "If you want to know, you have to see how sincere the donor can be." ”

“…… I knew it. ”

Miss Fiancée understood his subtext in seconds, and came over again with a red face, "Forget it, it's time to feed the dog." ”

"You're the dog, aren't you? I don't know who took the initiative to clench the little fist a few days ago......"

"Shut up, don't talk!"

"Okay, okay, then let's talk about a serious ......"

Seeing the two flirting as if no one was around, they walked away hand in hand, and the two little bodyguards behind them couldn't help but glance at each other, and at the same time showed a very strange look.

“…… That, Miss Shen, do you like Xu Dong very much? ”

Ye Shanshan understood Shen Qin's eyes and asked tentatively.

"Do you need to talk about that?"

Shen Qin didn't deny it, with a little bitterness in her tone, looking at Xu Shi and others every day, she was very unhappy, okay?

"Coincidentally, I'm in a similar situation to you."

The little curly hair thought about it, and also read a sentence along the water.

In fact, it doesn't seem to be the right choice to talk to Shen Qin about this kind of distress, but who else do you say? There's no one else...... And the two of them actually have a lot of communication these days, and the nature of their work is relatively similar.

You have to get this head away, maybe when this will get into Xu Shi's ears, right?

"Huh?!"

Shen Qin's reaction was a little surprised, pointing at her and asking in disbelief, "So...... You like you Xie Dong too, don't you?! ”

Well?!

When Ye Shanshan heard this, she thought that something was wrong with her ears.

But looking at Shen Qin again, there was a clear stupidity in the other party's eyes, and it didn't seem like he was deliberately pretending to be stupid at all.

“……”

Little Curly actually had a deep impression of Shen Qin, the leader of the "Forsaken" back then, and had a lot of dealings with him at that time...... Is it okay to be completely like two people now?

So how did you get to where you are now? It always feels so pitiful......

Forget it, I seem to be even more pitiful.

Alas.

……

The words are divided into two ends, there is another poor person in this world, that is Pan Ling.

After being laundered by her little sister's inhumane purse, she finally got an answer from the other party.

"I don't know."

"Huh?!"

The stupid apprentice was really dumbfounded this time, "You won't sell it to me too, will you, little senior sister?" ”

"I really don't know."

The old aunt looked sincere, "I'm more curious why do you think I really know?" Even Aunt Xie is more likely, right? ”

Xiao Ke'an doesn't care about such a brain-burning problem.

"You don't know why you agreed, please tell me after eating so much?!"

Pan Ling wanted to cry without tears, and reached out to grab the big bag in the other party's hand, "Give me back!" ”

I'm!

It's rare to plan to be lazy once, but you lose so completely?

"These two things don't conflict."

The white-haired Lori shrank back, showing a rare skill, "Shouldn't you be filial to your little sister?" ”

It is said that the stupid apprentice has become a black belly, and the real black belly is here.

"I don't care, either pay me back, or you have to help me solve the problem!"

Pan Ling didn't have a good breath and said, "Otherwise...... Or I'll spank you! ”

She can see it, maybe this is really the master playing tricks on herself, because the bad thing is that she can't read Xia Ke'an's heart, and the other party's mental power is too high for her...... The eight classics belong to being pitted and have not yet reasoned.

But now she also knows how to solve the problem reasonably, she doesn't have the courage to clean up the master, but it's not easy to teach you, a little guy who collects money and doesn't do things?

There is also a gap between the weak chickens, although they are all existences with almost zero combat effectiveness, but for Pan Ling, it seems that it is not difficult to control Xia Ke'an in terms of force, which has nothing to do with ability.

“…… Don't, don't, I'm kidding you. ”

Seeing that she seemed to be going to move seriously, the old aunt became cowardly in a second.

It can be seen that during the time when she pulled Gu Yi's hair back then, she also learned a lot of good qualities in Miss Black Rabbit.

"Then you can say it quickly."

Pan Ling glanced at her, stopped her movements, and urged.

"I really don't know, I guess Dad meant to let you think for yourself?"

The old aunt blinked, "But I can help you inquire, it's all right?" ”

“…… That's pretty much it. ”

The stupid apprentice thought about it and nodded, to be honest, she didn't really want to clean up Xia Ke'an, but of course she wouldn't be in a good mood if she was teased.

But the little sister is so cute, it seems that she can only choose to forgive her.

"Don't worry, I'll do my best!"

Xia Ke'an also smiled, patted his little chest and said angrily, "Little senior sister, I am very righteous!" ”

……

The old aunt did what she said, and soon after returning to the mansion, she went to find Xu Shi.

She also grasped the timing very well, and when she passed, she just passed by Xie Qingyan.

Xia Ke'an could see at a glance that the other party was more moisturized than when they were separated, and the flush on his face had not yet faded...... You don't have to think about it to know that the two of them are not ashamed just now.

Here we go again, Daddy Lust...... The white-haired Lori rolled her eyes helplessly, and then pushed open the door of Xu Shi's room.

Xu Shi had just finished taking a shower, put on a bathrobe and walked out.

"Coming?"

He wasn't surprised at all, it seemed that the door was reserved for his good daughter, "That stupid girl asked you to ask?" ”

"Aang."

Xia Ke'an nodded, sat in his arms with ease, and let out a long groan of satisfaction, "It's been a long time since I've been alone with you like this." ”

When they were still in Night Sin City before, the two of them chatted like this when they had nothing to do.

"It seems to be."

Xu Shi smiled and began to braid her hair like muscle memory, "So how are you going to deal with her later?" ”

"I must be pushing the pot to you, don't you bite to death and don't say what I can do, Xiao Ke'an is so pitiful, can she really do it?"

The old aunt said indifferently, "I'm more worried about you...... Tell me honestly, did you tell Xie Qingyan that woman in a daze just now? ”

"Am I that kind of person?"

Xu Shi pulled her hair, and she didn't have a good airway.

"Don't mess around!"

Xia Ke'an complained, "Aren't you? I haven't seen anyone worse than you. ”

"If you talk to your dad like this, you're going to be spanked."

"Where would you give up?"

"Say it again, see if I'm reluctant."

……

If Pan Ling was present, I am afraid she would be really angry - because she really didn't expect that Xia Ke'an actually knew the answer to that question.

can only say that the old aunt's acting skills are a little good, and it is easy to pass the test with the help of her own advantages.

But it's a pity that this conversation can't be transmitted, so there is only this picture of father and daughter filial piety.

"Let's talk about something practical, you haven't told me how you plan to open this so-called Protestantism."

The topic of the two has long disappeared from Pan Ling's shadow, and the old aunt asked very seriously, "You look confident, do you really know?" ”

"No, don't you still know how to learn?"

Xu Shi said with a smile, "If you really can't do it, just follow the Holy See's rules, and we will do what they do." ”

There is no such thing as a church in Night Sin City, at most it is a joke made up by various players or netizens...... But the routine in this is not difficult.

In general, it is enough to make it a little taller, and then choose a spiritual leader similar to a "holy woman", and then create a little so-called "miracle", which is enough to attract the majority of the general public.

Not to mention that there are also abilities in this land, the Holy See in the Hualan Empire has not stood for so many years?

In fact, this is inseparable from the pyramid structure of the "upgrader", there are always a few people with top abilities, and most people are still as ordinary as ever, or have abilities that are of little use, and they are not much different from ordinary people.

In this respect, the two city-states are surprisingly similar.

"Sounds good."

While listening to him explain the details, the old aunt nodded again and again, "Then who are you going to let this spiritual leader do?" Yourself? ”

"Who do you ask?"

Xu Shi had a ghostly expression on his face, "Who is the most suitable for this position, don't you know it yourself?" ”

Of course, the good daughter in my arms is the most suitable, okay?

To tell the truth, there is no "miracle" than a prophecy.

Especially what do many people go to church for? In addition to prayer, it is to carry out some superstitious activities similar to asking for signs and hexagrams, which is also the area that white-haired Lori is best at.

She can almost open her mouth to prophecy for a short time, and it is not difficult for her to make a long prediction.

"Of course, you alone are definitely not enough, Xiaoling and I also have to cooperate with you, so that our sect can grow stronger in the shortest possible time."

Xia Ke'an instantly understood what he meant, the three of them with spiritual abilities could really play with everyone in the palm of their hands.

She even knows what tricks she has for a while - if it's herself, she can predict it, but if you don't know what the other party is thinking, sometimes you won't be able to do it.

Pan Ling's mind reading can just fill this gap, just imagine, when a person hasn't said anything, they already know what the person is thinking, and even give advice or show the way, how much of a spiritual shock this must bring to people.

Finally, with Xu Shi's ability...... This time, we have to let "Unite as One" come into play, and it can unconsciously strengthen the faith of believers, which is simply not too suitable.

And this set of combination punches can only be said to be really difficult for ordinary people to withstand.

"So how long ago did you think about this?"

Seeing that what he said was the Tao, and he didn't even hit him, the old aunt couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Probably when you set out to conquer the Poseidon?"

Xu Shi thought for a moment and replied, "At that time, there was probably an outline, and all I had to do after that was to enrich flesh and blood." ”

"Including the trade of the Poseidon Stone?"

The white-haired Lori smiled, "I really convinced you, little boy." ”

Some things really have to be strung together to be fully understood—it seems that it was only a blow to the economy of the main city of the empire at that time, but in fact, it is not a weakening of the influence of the Holy See?

As long as they can't hold back and join this farce, it will inevitably lead to this result - although the Holy See has not suffered any loss financially, it may not have in the hearts of the people.

Because the believers of the Holy See are already a large group, and countless people have suffered heavy losses in the Poseidon Stone incident.

Then it is inevitable that some people will think about such a question - since this is not a good thing, why is the Holy See, which they have always believed in, also involved?

If someone suffers a serious loss because of the purchase of the Poseidon Stone product of the Holy See, the faith in their hearts will naturally be hit even more, and they will be shaken.

In this case, the impact on the Holy See is by no means as small as it seems, just like a towering ancient tree that is a hundred years old and thousands of years old, seemingly flourishing, but in fact the interior has been hollowed out by insects.

Thinking about it this way, the other party wants to cooperate with Xu Shi, and maybe he also has the intention of throwing the pot at him, and we have also been deceived by despicable foreigners, just as miserable as you.

Therefore, it is impossible to really stand with them no matter what, and it is impossible to be false and wronged...... It's hard to create such a perfect soil, how can you change the whole plan for a small profit?

On the contrary, in comparison, the royal family is much more suitable - since they have agreed to help them fill the shortfall, of course, this money cannot be spent in vain, in exchange for them to help stand on the platform.

As long as there is the endorsement of the royal family, coupled with financial subsidies, the implementation of Protestantism will definitely be unprecedentedly smooth.

It's a win-win in a sense...... Regarding these, Xu Shi had already explained the benefits and disadvantages to the little empress before, and of course the other party would not let go of such a good opportunity, so he agreed in one bite.

Therefore, those who say that Boss Xu is not doing his job every day should apologize quickly!

Do you think that locking Dongfang Xiao in the heads-up arena is just to train her? Isn't that good?! (Loud sound)

"You haven't convinced me yet?"

Xu Shi pretended to be surprised and said, "Is it my problem, or do you have a problem?" ”

"Okay, good, bad dad is the most powerful."

Xia Ke'an nodded hurriedly, satisfy your vanity, really......

"But there's a problem."

"Huh?"

"I'm not very good at acting, what if I can't get that kind of saintly feeling?"

"Almost."

Xu Shi tied her hair into a twist, "I believe it when you say this, but it doesn't make sense for you to say it." ”

It's not bad, if I hadn't been wearing heavy armor in the previous few times, I wouldn't have known how many times I would have exposed my stuffing with Xia Kitten's character of blushing without telling a lie......

"Really, trust me."

The old aunt has to be obedient when she gets cheap, "I have to think about it later, and I have to make that kind of frustration that you can't put on your words...... Otherwise, how can you deal with your stupid apprentice? ”

"Really?"

Xu Shi's expression gradually became playful, and the movements of his hands stopped abruptly.

"Hmm."

The white-haired Lori leaned her back against him, not noticing the change in his expression.

She was still enjoying the human flesh cushion that she hadn't experienced for a long time, "I want to think about how to get it, I have a headache ......"

"Don't rush into feelings just yet."

Xu Shi spread his hands helplessly, patted her and motioned her to turn around, "I have a question I haven't asked you yet." ”

"Oh?"

Xia Ke'an didn't react for a while, and turned around obediently, "What's wrong?" ”

"Come, look me in the eye first."

Xu Shi was not in a hurry, and his tone was a little serious.

"What are you doing......

The old aunt finally realized that something was wrong, but she still couldn't think of what the other party was referring to, so she had to make eye contact with him first.

"It's nothing, but it's more formal."

Xu Shi chuckled, "After all, I've been holding this question for a long time, and I have to have a sense of ritual." ”

"It's pretty much the same now...... Come, tell me, how long are you going to hide it from me? ”

……

……

……

Silent.

There was a long silence.

Even the air froze for a while before the old aunt realized what the man in front of her was saying.

Her first reaction was to run away, but unfortunately the retreat was blocked, and in such a posture of the two people, Xu Shi only needed to hug her gently, and she couldn't break free at all.

But.

"You...... How would you know?! ”
