"Master......

Before Pan Ling could react, she suddenly felt a darkness in front of her.

When she opened her eyes again, there was already a different scene around her—it was obvious that Xu Shi had brought her to her "liminal space".

A place where conversations are easy to talk and where there is no risk of being spied on or leaked.

"What are you?"

She blinked, shook her head to ease the discomfort in her heart, and then asked.

"Don't pretend to be in front of the teacher, I don't know what you think about it?"

Xu Shi smiled, "I think you should know what I'm going to say to you next." ”

Pan Ling pursed her lips, what the master said was right.

Or maybe she's figured it out.

After the end of World War I in the Holy See, Xu Shi's attitude towards her has always been a bit strange.

The main thing is about the "Heavenly Principle".

Except for answering questions at the beginning, Xu Shi never mentioned things about this in front of her, just asked her to do some things she was doing before, and even stopped her from meddling in these things.

But on the other hand, he has not prevented the stupid apprentices from investigating through others, such as Su Lin and them, or Old Man Wen, it can be said that Pan Ling has definitely gotten much more from them about "Tianli" than from Xu Shi, a serious master.

On the contrary, Xu Shi, after careful calculation, today may be the first time he has officially talked to Pan Ling about the topic of "Heavenly Principles".

If you put it all together, it's a bit like ......

"Well, you guessed it right, you can interpret it all as a test."

Xu Shi knew what she was thinking, and nodded calmly, "Now that the test is over, my evaluation is...... Very well done. ”

"Ahem, it's not just good, you can give a ninety-nine points, give one less point for fear that you will be proud."

He thought about it and took the initiative to change his words, it was rare to give her such a large degree of affirmation.

“…… Oh. ”

Xu guessed this, Pan Ling was not particularly happy when she heard this, but responded equally calmly, "Then the purpose of your doing this is ......"

"To keep a back hand."

Xu Shi smiled, "Or, find a suitable person for me to take over?" ”

"I really didn't expect you to be able to deduce something about the 'protagonist aura' on your own...... To be honest, I've neglected this aspect myself for so long. ”

He said with a straight face, "That's why I said that you are excellent, and I haven't taught you for so long in vain." ”

This is the truth, he didn't take the initiative to tell Pan Ling everything about "Tianli", just to see how much she can learn and what she can analyze through her own investigation.

I didn't expect the final effect to be so good, to be honest, it was a bit unexpected for him.

"You can do this now, and maybe you will do better than you did for your teacher in the future."

Xu Shi cleared his throat and continued, "The only thing I need to confirm with you now is ...... in your heart Is there any idea of overthrowing the "principles of heaven"? ”

"I, I still can't do enough ......"

Pan Ling still didn't understand what he meant, and subconsciously waved her hand to refuse, "Maybe someone is more suitable than me...... Right? ”

"You're right, never feel like you're the best."

Xu Shi was noncommittal, but when he heard this, he just shook his head, "But I don't have the spare time to find someone else, and I don't have the heart to accept a second apprentice." ”

"You just have to answer me, do you think so?"

“…… Some. ”

Pan Ling didn't hesitate for too long this time, and gave the answer.

One thing to say, she kept asking people around her about "Heavenly Principles" during this time, because Xu Shi gave her a head start that day, which aroused her interest.

Accustomed to the master's wanton freedom, she can no longer accept the things that her life is manipulated, and she is quite eager to change all this.

"That'll do."

Xu Shi could hear that this was her sincere words, and her tone relaxed a little, "Then you can remember, if something really happens to the teacher, you need to take over everything I have, and you need to finish the unfinished business." ”

"Master, you can't say such things!"

Pan Ling was a little anxious when she heard this, and even subconsciously wanted to block the master's mouth.

How does this sound the same as Tuogu? Does the master have any other plans?

"Why not?"

Xu Shi held her wrist, "Don't think so noble as a teacher, I also cherish my life, I won't die so easily." ”

"Then you ......"

"Nonsense, what should you do not prepare for the worst first?"

Xu Shibai glanced at her, "This is just an arrangement in advance, you are my apprentice, I don't entrust you to whom?" ”

"I have a hunch...... The day is not too far off to face the "Heavenly Principles", and until then, we must be as prepared as possible for everything. ”

"Besides, you're still far from where you're now, and it's just a precautionary shot." ”

"Oh......"

Hearing the master say this, Pan Ling felt a little more comfortable.

After all, the atmosphere just now was really ...... To be honest, instead of fighting against "Tianli", she hopes that her master can always be safe, even if she has been by his side as a little apprentice, it is better than taking over his mantle.

But thinking about it, she was a little unconvinced, how far is she from? How far is the difference? Obviously, everything arranged by the master, she has studied hard and done it seriously, okay? So far, I haven't seen anything go wrong.

"You're so bad."

Xu Shi just smiled when he saw this, "Until now, you haven't been to the city-state where you are a teacher, the situation there is still very different from here, and you need to learn a lot of knowledge from scratch." ”

This is true, if only in terms of form, the Hualan Empire is still in the embryonic state of industry, on the other hand, the City of Night Sin has already entered the era of information technology.

Maybe with Pan Ling's current ability, dealing with things here, such as cats and cats, or managing Yinsong Island or something, is enough to be at ease.

But expanding to an entire City of Night Sin still requires more systematic learning.

So.

"From today onwards, let a few of your teachers start to give you a good lesson."

Xu Shi stretched his waist, "I can't do it as a teacher in this regard, and they have to come." ”

Yes, Boss Xu is strategizing, but he can't change the matter of his professional class crotch pulling, after all, he can't be said to be unlearned in the past, at least it can be said that he can't learn and can't learn.

In contrast, people like Su Lin, Tang Shuang, Xie Qingyan, and Lin Yue, the queen of Sin City, who is a rising star, may be more suitable than him to be Pan Ling's master in these aspects.

The teaching of professionals is always better, and he will not pretend to be a big-tailed wolf and take the initiative to take care of it, which will harm his good apprentice.

Oh, by the way, and my grandfather, his old man.

"Then it's better to let the teachers and girls ...... directly"

Pan Ling muttered quietly, it was obvious that she still didn't want to listen to Xu Shi's words like trust.

"There always has to be a backbone."

Xu Shi shook his head and interrupted her speech, "The army cannot be without a commander, you should understand this truth very well." ”

In fact, he didn't think about Pan Ling's proposal, if he didn't have his little apprentice, his other choice would be Xia Ke'an.

The old aunt has excellent ability, and she was originally the eldest lady of "refraction", and she is the most suitable to lead others to do something.

But she has a problem, which is that she is too hostile to "Heavenly Principles".

This is a good thing and a bad thing, the good thing is that she will definitely put a hundred and twenty points of energy into this, and the downside is obvious, she is likely to make some emotional mistakes, which is absolutely unacceptable.

Therefore, in contrast, Pan Ling, who was brought out by herself, is unlikely to have this problem, and her childhood experience also allows her to maintain rationality in her heart in various situations.

“…… I know. ”

After listening to him, Pan Ling also nodded seriously, she knew very well that the master had given her multiple expectations.

She didn't feel that she wasn't studying hard enough with Xu Shi, but it was clear that she needed to work harder from then on.

"It's good to know."

Xu Shi bowed slightly, "In this case, from today onwards, stay by the teacher's side, there are some things that involve the core, and it is time for you to understand." ”

"Also, we can't tell anyone else about our conversation today, your sister can't do it, understand?"

"Hmm."

Of course, Pan Ling won't say it, she knows very well that this needs to be kept secret - it's true to plan for the worst, but you can't make it known to everyone, otherwise it's not a good thing to sing down before you do anything.

Otherwise, the master wouldn't have had to pull her here to talk.

But well......

"Master, do you really believe me so much?"

She still had some doubts about herself.

"You are my apprentice, don't you believe in me?"

Xu Shile was happy, he actually didn't expect that this apprentice he had temporarily accepted could bring him such a big surprise.

Of course.

"If you want to say that you don't have a problem, that is, you don't have to deliberately pretend to be too unconfident in the future, understand?"

He still gave an extra admonition, "I know you're deliberately lowering your posture by doing this, but if you do too much, it will become a habit, and this is not the posture that a leader should show." ”

"Forehead ......"

Pan Ling was dumbfounded, she really didn't expect this kind of caution to be seen clearly by the master.

Indeed, since following Xu Shi, she will show an attitude of "I haven't done enough" from time to time.

But sometimes she does it deliberately, especially in front of a few close people, such as sisters, little sisters, and masters.

She didn't have any bad intentions in doing this, but more to take care of the feelings of the people around her, such as her stupid sister, she couldn't make her feel that the gap between her and her was too big.

This proved to be a good result, and everyone liked this humble and humble little girl.

Only Xu Shi could see that his apprentice actually had a sense of arrogance in his heart.

The unconvincing she inadvertently reveals many times is because of this arrogance, but she doesn't want to show it.

Or maybe she doesn't want to show it in front of people close to her, but it's not the case with people who aren't close - like Lu Baiyan or Qin Yiyan, when facing these two, she completely occupies the dominant position, just like herself back then.

Now he took the initiative to bring it up, and he also hoped that the other party could grasp this degree and not appear overly modest, but he must not become a conceited boy.

It still needs a little tapping.

……

The secret conversation between the master and apprentice ended, and within a few days, Xu Shi also officially put his mind into the most important part.

He also made a lot of preparations for the plan to completely remove the "rusty fog".

During this period of time, Jiang Chengcheng and Xie Qingyan, two experts, can be regarded as having done a lot of pre-experiments, and it is rare to cooperate.

Yes, for the special existence of "Rusty Mist", of course, it is not enough for either party to contribute, and even if the two sides cooperate, the results obtained are not as good as imagined.

It's not that it can't purify the "rusty fog", in fact, in recent years, both in the military industry and the medical field, there are similar methods to deal with the "rusty fog" - this thing is difficult to use directly, and it often needs to be treated in advance to reduce its risk as much as possible, otherwise it will be directly used on machinery or the human body, and the effect will be very poor.

But only to reduce the risk, until now no one dares to pack a ticket, saying that there is no problem with the creation of these things - the potion for the "upgrader" is still not guaranteed to be 100% safe, and there are many people who have lost their lives for this.

Not to mention a complete removal.

To give a very simple example, this is like clean water, the treated dirty water may be drinkable, but it is not unpolluted clean water, and there is still a difference in nature.

And this key step, the inseparable important person is Lu Baiyan.

“…… So Brother Xu, what do you mean, let me use my ability to retrospectively restore the "Divine Breath"? ”

Hearing Xu Shi's crazy thoughts, he squinted and the whole person was shocked.

Obviously, he never thought about such a thing - it is easy to restore the broken walls of tables, chairs and benches, restore the "divine breath"?

How did you come up with such a thankless task? Besides, the "Divine Breath" has existed for so many years, and with his half-hour reduction ability, it may not be effective if he uses the ability, and the "Divine Breath" half an hour ago is not still the "Divine Breath"?

"How can you know if you don't try it?"

Xu Shi smiled, "You have to try after all, if you don't take this step, who knows what the result will be?" ”

"That'...... All right? ”

Lu Baiyan was actually a little bottomless, but he still followed Xu Shi's instructions and activated his ability against the gas tank carrying the "rusty mist" in front of him.

I saw a flash of light.

And then.

Jiang Chengcheng, who was staring at the dashboard, exclaimed.

"This way...... Feasible! ”
