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

It goes without saying that this was Wen Shengkui's little trick. Who else present here has this ability besides him?

"Young people don't know how to be frugal!"

But he wanted to scold her again, closing his eyes and saying leisurely, "You have to know that if you can eat well and wear well, you will be poor if you can't plan well."

"Ah, yes, yes, yes, grandpa taught me that."

Xu Shi was speechless, but what else could he say? He could only choose to obey.

Gu Yi was so amused watching from the side that she immediately thought that this must be the most interesting grandfather and grandson duo in the world.

Anyway, it's probably hard to see the kind of scene where grandfather and grandson have a long and happy conversation and are filial to each other. One of them is full of bad intentions, and the other is very arrogant. It's really too much fun to be together.

Hey, why do I suddenly feel a little hungry?

What are you talking about? It will only hurt me if I talk about everything. If I have to talk about anything, I should talk about myself and Xu Shi, right?

But in short, I hope the old man stays healthy and lives a long life. She wants to see a few more years of such happy times.

She was still here watching the show, while Xu Shi and Wen Shengkui had already moved on to the next topic.

"How is Cheng Gujian?"

"Don't be impatient, young man. It's only been one night. Just take care of it."

Old Master Wen waved his hands. "His ability is too violent. He used it on me without regard for my life. I am lucky to be alive."

Indeed, compared to Mr. Wen’s ability, although the destructive power has a single effect, its strength is among the highest.

Xu Shi had seen it before. Even the Sea God, who was also an SS, would wither instantly after being shot by him.

And when he chose to self-destruct and inject the power into himself, you can imagine how much of a burden it would be on his body, which is why he turned into that shattered ghost-like appearance.

"Are you really planning to take him back to Night Sin City and have him take care of you in your old age?"

Xu Shi shrugged and said, "Brother Ning Wei must be heartbroken after hearing this, right?"

"You don't know how to appreciate kindness, do you?"

Wen Shengkui snorted angrily. If you even dare to challenge your grandfather, is there anything you dare not do?

The point is, this little thing is so ungrateful, is it for me? It's for you!

Of course, he was also familiar with matters of "natural justice", and he knew very well that if a war were to break out with the enemy one day, SS-class and S-class "Upgraders" would be the most indispensable fighting force, and it would not be wrong to recruit as many as possible.

As for how to convince Cheng Gujian to accept all this, he had to come forward in person to discuss it - firstly, the situation between Xu Shi and him was complicated, and it would be troublesome if he talked about it face to face.

Secondly... Cheng Gujian can't beat him, and if words are useless, he can communicate in a simpler and more brutal way.

"I don't know how long these old bones can hold out. If something does happen, you'll have to have other SS by your side."

He said earnestly, "This person is very good. Putting aside the issue of your positions, I think his humanity is quite good."

This is an evaluation that is difficult to get from the old man. Even Xu Shi himself may not have this honor - to be honest, if you ask ten or eleven people what kind of person Boss Xu is, they will answer you with two words: bad.

How can you be a villain if you are not evil?

Anyway, Wen Shengkui admired Cheng Gujian very much - he now had a thorough understanding of the other party's ins and outs, and he knew more clearly how rare the other party's loyalty was, in addition to his ability.

"Pfft, pfft, pfft, we shouldn't say anything unlucky."

Xu Shi's focus was different. He quickly stopped his grandfather from speaking as if he was explaining his last wishes. "Just now you said you were going to have surgery. What's the matter? Do you not believe me or your granddaughter-in-law?"

“You always have to be prepared.”

Mr. Wen smiled and said, "Are you the only one who regards "heavenly principles" as the enemy? Don't forget that I hate them to the core, too."

Her only biological daughter was treated like that by them, and now she doesn’t even know whether it is true or not. Although the old lady doesn’t say it on the surface, she will never forget it in her heart.

"Whether it's revenge or overthrow, don't sacrifice your life for them."

Xu Shi still had a cynical look on his face, but his tone became much more disappointed. "No matter what their purpose is, they must pay the price for doing these things."

To be honest, his memory of his mother only exists in photos and other people's stories, but this does not stop him from missing her.

Could this be the bond between blood relatives? Not to mention his mother, even his father, who had little communication with him during his lifetime, if anyone dared to say something bad, Boss Xu would not mind letting the other person experience what cruelty is.

but.

"Speaking of which, have you met the little apprentice I accepted, old man?"

"Is it the little girl named Pan Ling?"

Wen Shengkui thought about it and nodded slightly, "I took a quick look last night, but didn't pay much attention to it. But if you come to teach, it shouldn't be too bad."

It can be seen that in his mind, the possibility of Xu Shi educating people and making them successful is far lower than misleading them.

It's not that he can't teach real things, but with his personality... If he really cultivates a small Xu Shi, it will definitely cause a headache.

"Of course it won't be bad."

Xu Shi selectively ignored his doubts and asked, "Should I ask her to spend more time with you these days?"

"Why, you want me to be your apprentice?"

The old man rolled his eyes at him and said, "You should teach your own apprentices yourself, and stop handing them off to others and being a hands-off boss."

Yes, he was worried, but he would not interfere. How old are you and still need your elders to worry about this and that? If his descendants were really like this, it would be better for him to return to Night Sin City as soon as possible to sell sweet potato flavored nutrient solution.

"I can't help it if you don't want me to."

Xu Shi expressed regret, "But do you know why you accepted her?"

"Ok?"

"Her ability... is to read minds."

Xu Shi said slowly.

"...Are you serious?"

Wen Shengkui almost jumped up from his wheelchair, "Your mother's ability to read minds?"

"It's fake. Her ability is to make the nutrient solution taste like sweet potatoes."

Xu Shi said with a grin.

To be honest, he took Pan Ling as his apprentice for many reasons. After all, the other party's identity was very delicate.

As for the daughter of the owner of Yinsong Island, she was quite valuable to him who had just arrived in this land. To put it nicely, he took her as his apprentice in order to further enhance his relationship with his good brother Pan Cheng. But to speculate in a darker way, it was a disguised threat.

Today is Crazy Thursday, and now your girl is in my hands, hurry up and v me 50!

Apart from that, I also think that Pan Ling is a very interesting girl. She is gloomy but has some resilience, and is very smart inside. This kind of awkward personality is rare.

Of course, he no longer has those same thoughts now. The relationship between master and disciple was also cultivated bit by bit.

As for the other party's ability... of course it is also a factor, but in comparison it seems more like an additional item.

This may be considered a continuation of the regrets of a single-parent family. Although he misses his mother, he has never lived with her. When he sees someone with similar abilities to her, Boss Xu's reaction may not be as strong as that of Xia Ke'an, his mother's former best friend.

But Wen Shengkui is different.

Facts have proved that the ability to read minds is indeed rare. At least after so many years, the old man has not found a second person with this ability.

Until Xu Shi told him about Pan Ling - if he was not a good grandson, he would not know. No matter how amazing his ability was, he could not be like in the fairy tale novels, where you can tell the other person's ability level at a glance. That was a bit unfair.

But this did not affect his excitement - unlike Xu Shi, he was Wen Ruijin's father!

Having raised her for so many years, seeing her die young is the most painful thing in his heart. Until now, his daughter's room in the manor is exactly the same as when she was a child, isn't it just to remind her of her?

Now that she knows there is someone with the same ability as her, it would be a lie to say she isn't excited.

"In that case...it would be okay for you to bring her to see me."

But he remained calm on the surface, with an expression of "Oh, I see", "After all, I am an elder, so it is my duty to give some advice to the young people."

"Don't do that. I'm afraid people will look down on you as a weird old man."

Boss Xu started to commit suicide on a daily basis.

"Why am I weird?"

Mr. Wen frowned, "Did you say something bad about me to her?"

"Bring her to me as soon as possible!"

"Alright, alright."

Xu Shi couldn't help laughing secretly. I asked you to see me just now, but you refused. Now you come again?

Don’t be too arrogant, old man. Don’t you know that arrogance will ruin your life?

"When are you going back? If it takes a long time, I can take her with me first so that she can get familiar with the environment of Night Sin City first?"

Wen Shengkui ignored this and continued to mutter, "Don't tell me you don't plan to take her back..."

"Don't be so ridiculous, old man!"

Xu Shi obviously didn't expect that Pan Ling would be so attractive to him. Is this a fake?

I don't really want you to kidnap my apprentice!

He began to wonder if he had been too talkative. To be honest, this was even more annoying than he had expected.

This question is debatable, but it is true that Wen Shengkui will not stay for long.

The Night Crime City cannot be left unattended for a long time. To be honest, my grandfather is like a guardian god and he absolutely cannot be away for too long. Otherwise, things might get chaotic.

Actually, it's a bit ridiculous to think this way. It's obvious that "natural law" has restricted the SS, or extremely high combat power in each area. There are only one or two in an area. This may be a means to prevent the situation I'm in?

Anyway, the situations in the two places he had visited were similar, and he didn't know if it was the same in other places.

Unfortunately, the clues ended here again. We had originally planned to keep the Saint Lady and interrogate her slowly, but now she has become a vegetable, and it is impossible to ask her anything.

After all, judging from the previous situation, Miss Saint obviously knows more than He Yuxia, and keeping her words would be a good breakthrough.

"You don't have to rush about this kind of thing. It's only been a short time. Learn to be patient."

Old Master Wen could see what he was thinking, and he comforted him calmly, "To be honest, your harvest from this trip to the sea is already very rich."

"Especially the guy named Lu... maybe he can help you in your plan to clear the "Rust Mist"?"

Xu Shi did not comment. If he really had to say, the biggest gain of his trip was definitely Lu Baiyan.

It’s a pity that Si Mimiyan is still in a coma. Some things really cannot be rushed.

Ahhhh, I'm going crazy, it's so sour, so sour!
