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

Xu Shi was a little surprised. How could she see so clearly?

In fact, he had long known that Pan Cheng also had selfish motives at the time, and he failed to speak up for Pan Cheng, saying, "If they really had ill intentions, they would still sit here calmly." Not only was he worried that the relationship between him and Pan Cheng would change after he said it, he also wanted to make those bronze knights suffer.

After all, he was forced to go out to sea and almost didn't come back. It would be a lie to say that he was not angry, but he couldn't resist openly, so he came up with this idea.

In a sense, this can be considered as killing someone with a borrowed knife... Fortunately, Xu Shi was not unhappy at the time, and he did not care about it afterwards, and just regarded it as a favor.

But when these words came out of Pan Ling's mouth, it was a completely different situation.

"So? What do you want to tell me?"

Xu Shi gently hooked his fingers and used a little ability, wanting to hear more from her.

"I, I just feel a little bad..."

Miss Xiaoling didn't notice, but suddenly she wanted to talk, so she lowered her eyes, her tone a little disappointed, "I always think that everyone should get along well, whether it's Daddy or Brother Luo Yu, but everyone always wants more, and won't say many things... Including you, Uncle Xu, although you haven't been here for a long time, but I don't want..."

You can see that she is a little conflicted and doesn't know what to do in the face of such a situation. These are people she cherishes, so of course she doesn't want any intrigue.

Xu Shi nodded, and finally discovered where her introverted personality came from.

Although he knew before that Pan Ling was also an "Ascendant", he had never paid much attention to it, let alone asked. Now it seems that her ability should be related to mind reading?

Oh ~

This is an ability that only exists in flashbacks. Xu Shi’s mother Wen Ruijin possessed this ability back then.

However, compared to his S-level mother, the girl Xiaoling in front of him was obviously far behind. He couldn't even feel the other party's supernatural aura, and was obviously still at a very early stage.

But even this seems to be a burden for her. Knowing many things that she shouldn't know at such a young age is a very heavy gift.

Especially since most people's inner thoughts tend to be darker, knowing this would only make her distressed and feel that everyone is hypocritical. With such thoughts in her head, she would be introverted.

She couldn't tell anyone else. If she did, wouldn't that be like telling everyone, "I know all your secrets?" If that were the case, even her own father would have to be on guard against her.

If I hadn't used my ability, I'm afraid she wouldn't have said it so readily.

Hi.

After sorting out the causes and consequences, Xu Shi suddenly felt a little sorry for the little girl. She had been holding it in like this and really needed someone to comfort her.

and so.

He took a deep breath and refueled the fire.

"Then have you ever felt your brother Luo Yu's heart? Do you know...what he thinks?"

Great! The leader has finally finished his extra chapters. It has 20,000 words in total. If it were someone else, it would be 10 chapters...

I really don’t know how to end this chapter, so I just combined it into one.

Do I still owe anything? If so, continue to make up...

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 217: Master, please accept my disciple’s greetings!

"I……"

When Pan Ling heard Xu Shi ask this, she was stuck for a moment and stayed there for a long time without saying a word.

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

Out of curiosity, she did try to feel Luo Yu's thoughts, but the result was completely different from what she expected.

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

Why did Brother Luo Yu also... But even so, she still deliberately skipped him just now and tried to avoid the parts related to him.

This is the little girl's own selfish desire. After all, Luo Yu is a very important person to her. She sincerely hopes that he is different from others. Maybe this is just an isolated case?

"Tell me the answer."

Xu Shi didn't give her this chance, stared into her eyes, and asked in a low voice and earnestly.

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

Pan Ling couldn't stand his tone and said everything tremblingly.

Her tone was even a little mechanical. "He deliberately made things difficult for you, and he stood by and watched. He didn't care about those servants. He, he seemed to have it all along..."

"Just what?"

"...There is the idea of ​​getting rid of them..."

Miss Xiaoling finished the sentence in a low voice.

After listening to her speaking in a halting manner, Xu Shi nodded meaningfully.

It was exactly as he expected... He still had to confirm it after all. After discovering that Pan Ling had this ability, he became interested.

And this is not difficult for him - with the blessing of "Yujing", his use of "entropy increase of evil thoughts" has long been more flexible than before. It is one aspect to be able to use it in a wide range, and it can also force others to confide in it like now.

It's hard to say how it would perform against high-level "Upgraders", but it's still pretty easy to use on beginners like this.

This practice will not leave any seeds, and Xu Shi does not want to leave any seeds. The little girl is the daughter of a friend, and it would be too inhumane to do this to her.

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

But it was obvious that even so, Pan Ling still couldn't withstand such a mental shock. Although her eyes were gradually regaining clarity, her whole body collapsed on the stone as if all her strength was drained out, gasping for breath and seemed to have difficulty breathing.

It took her a long time to calm down completely.

"Woo, woo woo..."

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

She was not completely unconscious and still knew what she had just done. It was cruel for her to speak out the dark side of the person she admired.

The more Xiaoling cried, the sadder she became.

Xu Shi just watched all this silently, and when she was exhausted from crying, he returned to her side again.

"It's sad, isn't it?"

He helped Pan Ling up and asked bluntly.

"Um……"

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

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

In fact, she was in a very conflicted mood. She was very tired and wanted to lean on Xu Shi and rest for a while.

But when she thought of what Uncle Xu had just done to her, she instinctively felt some resistance and opposition.

"But you already knew all this, didn't you?"

Xu Shi didn't care about her attitude and just continued to recite calmly.

"You, what do you mean..."

His tone made Pan Ling feel guilty for no reason, and she asked in a stammering voice.

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

Xu Shi explained, "Coincidentally, I also know this...Since I know that he wants to harm me, do you still think there is something wrong with my actions?"

"..."

Miss Xiaoling remained silent.

She couldn't refute Xu Shi's words. Even though her father had taught her since she was a child that she should fight back when she was wronged, from this perspective, was there anything wrong with his approach? No problem!

But she still mustered up the courage to say, "Even if this is the case, can we not just..."

"No need to be so cruel?"

Xu Shi smiled and said, "Let's sit down and have a good chat. Then we can resolve all the conflicts and hold hands and eat fruit together."

"It's not that simple... Isn't that what we did before? Was it effective?"

"..."

Pan Ling didn't use any swear words, but she could tell that Xu Shi was saying in a disguised way that her ideas were too naive.

She actually has the same feeling, but why can't she...

Just as she was struggling, Xu Shi suddenly reached out and pinched her face hard twice.

"pain!"

Miss Xiaoling subconsciously called out, "What are you doing, Uncle Xu?!"

These two hits were no joke, Xu Shi really used a lot of strength, and her cheeks looked a little swollen.

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

Xu Shi looked indifferent, "Or... are you angry?"

Pan Ling really wanted to say, of course I’m angry. Wouldn’t you be angry if I pinched you for no reason?

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

"Really do not have?"

Xu Shi joked, "Then let me pinch it a few more times? It will look better if it is more symmetrical."

"…I'm really not angry."

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

"You don't mean what you say, Sister Xiaoling." Xu Shi said with a smile.

"No, no..."

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

"You can be a bit inconsistent sometimes, right?"

Xu Shi said seriously, "For example, now... since you have it yourself, isn't it normal for others to have it too?"

Pan Ling blinked her eyes, as if... was it really true?

"Everyone has some dirty little secrets in their hearts, Sister Xiaoling."

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

"Then, then you..."

Pan Ling bit her lip.

"Of course I have some too. If I have to say, I probably have a lot more darkness in my heart than the average person."

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

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

"Don't worry, thank you for your trust."

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

"Hey?"

"You can sense other people's inner thoughts, which is an amazing ability."

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

He saw through it clearly. The girl's fundamental worry was that she felt there was too much negative energy around her. It was really a bad feeling that everyone was saying one thing in public and another behind their backs. But after everything was done, she kept it all in her heart and couldn't find anyone to talk to. Naturally, she would become gloomy over time.

In a way, this could be considered a complication of her ability to upgrade.

The conflict that day was not the main problem. It was at most an inducement, or a fuse. After all, it involved her brother Luo Yu, otherwise she would not have the courage to come to me.

"Then, can you teach me how to face it?"

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

"Well... can I only give you a little advice?"

After thinking for a while, Xu Shi said, "For example, if you don't have anything to do with you, you can deal with it calmly, or if they don't exist, but you have something to do with you, you can also deal with them in advance according to the other party's thoughts, so you won't suffer any disadvantage."

That's right, people with the ability to read minds can still be plotted against, and it would be too embarrassing to tell anyone about it.
