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

"When do you plan to eavesdrop?"

Xu Shi poked her shoulder mischievously, "My little maid?"

Chapter 313 I am lucky to have you

2023-11-09

Question: What is the most embarrassing thing in the world?

For Qin Yiyan, the worst thing was to be caught eavesdropping by the real person.

"…You misunderstood. I didn't eavesdrop."

But she remained calm on the surface, "I just happened to be passing by to pick up something."

"Oh, what about that thing?"

Xu Shi didn't give her any face at all, pointed at her empty hands and said bluntly, "You are really an idiot, at least use something to pretend."

"Who are you calling an idiot?!"

The red-haired sister instantly got angry.

"Whoever is in a hurry is the one."

Xu Shi smiled and said, "Did you hear what you wanted to hear?"

With his mental strength, if he couldn't even notice such a thing, he might as well find a piece of tofu and hit himself to death.

But he didn't care whether the other party eavesdropped or not. It didn't matter. How could it be more important than the affairs of his good brother Lu Baiyan?

"……Um."

Qin Yiyan couldn't help but nodded.

This is the fact. She came here just to find out what kind of person Xu Shi is. A glimpse of the whole picture can reveal the whole picture. The conversation between the other party and Lu Baiyan has already explained a lot of things.

Anyway, she felt that her judgment was correct. This man was an extremely insidious and cunning person.

"How can a grown man like to play these tricks on people's hearts?"

She complained in a low voice that she really couldn't stand what Xu Shi did.

"You said it yourself. I am a barbarian."

Xu Shi was not annoyed at all, "Barbarians are like this, they are not as upright as your Church."

"..."

Qin Yiyan opened his mouth, but no sound came out.

This is actually quite ironic. After all, in so many interactions, the Vatican's methods have never been related to the word "above and beyond".

Everyone seems to suck equally.

The most annoying thing is that there is still a win-lose relationship between the two parties. As the losing party, the Holy See seems to be no match for the other party...

What a failure.

And she could also tell that Xu Shi's words were meant to irritate her. It's true that I'm playing with people's hearts in a shady way, but is it okay for you to eavesdrop on me?

"So I'm curious, why do you insist on holding on to me?"

Xu Shi smiled, "Isn't it enough for you to stay and take care of Xu Ying? What kind of person I am has nothing to do with you?"

"…Her Highness the Saint has lost all her memories. I'm afraid you'll lead her astray."

The red-haired sister paused and thought of a reason.

"Not necessarily?"

Xu Shi raised his eyebrows, "Who said something to you that gave you this idea?"

"For example... my stupid apprentice?"

"how do you know?"

Qin Yiyan was a man who couldn't keep secrets, and he was a little surprised when he heard this.

When she reacted, she realized that she had said something wrong.

"Did you arrange for her to tell me that?"

Although Pan Ling had denied it before, she still felt that this might be a conspiracy between the black-hearted master and disciple to frame her.

"You think too highly of yourself, Miss Qin."

Xu Shi's words were even more poisonous than his apprentice's. "May I ask what is so outstanding about you that I would put so much effort into it?"

To be honest, taking her in as a maid was nothing more than using the previous Flag to annoy those girls who made fun of him, and also to find someone to serve Xu Ying - Boss Xu is a lazy dog, how would he know how to take care of a child?

He didn't care what Qin Yiyan thought of him. Could a silly red-haired girl turn the world upside down? Did he really expect her to work hard to restore the Church? She had to have the ability to do that.

However, the other party didn't seem to have this idea. She always felt that her heart and eyes were full of her Highness the Saint.

As for why he knew it was Pan Ling... nonsense, among the people around him, apart from his silly disciple, who else would have the leisure to talk about these things with Qin Yiyan?

It's just that the young apprentice has nothing to do and always wants to prove himself in this way.

Yes, under the influence of her master Xu Shi, and after she refuted Lu Baiyan completely last time, she seemed to have developed a liking for this method of using words to win over other people's hearts.

This is also a way for her to exercise her special ability - what's the use of just hearing the voice of the heart? The most important thing is to use this to maximize the benefits, or to achieve her own goals.

But the fact is, how many people in the world can she talk to? If she finally finds one, she must make the most of it.

Qin Yiyan's current reaction also shows that she is being led by Pan Ling.

“…A traitor.”

Thinking that Pan Ling actually dared to target him, Xu Shi was also amused. "Would it be convenient for Miss Qin to tell me what she told you?"

"This……"

Although they were not in the same camp, Qin Yiyan also felt that this behavior was very bad and a bit like snitching.

"You don't want your Saint Lady..."

"I said I said."

The other party had a hostage in hand, so even though she was extremely reluctant, the red-haired sister had no choice but to compromise and told him a brief account of the conversation between the two.

Xu Shi nodded as he listened, seemingly not surprised by the content of the conversation.

"No wonder."

He showed a look of realization, and said with a smile, "So that's why you want to understand what kind of person I am?"

"Yes."

Qin Yiyan did not deny it, and chose to flatter himself by saying, "Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be in danger in a hundred battles."

"Do you understand now?"

Xu Shi just wanted to laugh after hearing this. You are still invincible in every battle. You don’t really think that there is a possibility for you to turn the tables, right? Will you lead your Highness the Saint to launch a counterattack one day?

Ah.

"At least more than I knew before."

Perhaps the atmosphere was right, the red-haired sister did not hide anything and spoke out her thoughts.

"In my opinion, your humanity is indeed not very good, and I cannot agree with many of your actions."

"But I don't deny that you are very capable. Otherwise, as an outsider, how could you completely control the entire Hualan Empire in just one year?"

"All in all, our loss to you...is not unfair."

She was actually a pretty open-minded person. Losing to Xu Shi was certainly not a good thing, but losing was losing, and it was not a good idea to find excuses.

As I said, denying your opponent is denying yourself.

"Thanks for the compliment."

Xu Shi accepted it all, "I didn't expect Knight Commander Qin to have such a reasonable side."

"If you had thought of this earlier, our relationship might have become more pleasant."

"That's not necessary."

Qin Yiyan refused with a straight face. He admitted it, but he should forget about having any relationship with Xu Shi.

"what ever."

Xu Shi did not force it, "If you want to 'observe' me again in the future, you can do it openly, no need to be so sneaky."

"Aren't you afraid that I might leak the secret?"

Qin Yiyan was stunned.

"You are my maid, and serving me personally is part of your job."

Xu Shi didn't care at all. "Okay, I have other things to do. If you want, you can go in and chat with your former subordinates."

After saying that, he walked away without caring about the other party's reaction.

"..."

The red-haired sister stood there, not knowing what to say for a moment.

You may say that this person is insidious and cunning, but most of the time he is quite upright and not as disgusting as you might imagine.

As for Xu Shi's attitude towards herself... she couldn't say whether the other party really trusted her, or whether he didn't take her seriously at all.

...It seems that the latter is more likely.

Humph.

……

The words are divided into two parts.

"Come, explain to me what 'Master is a bad person' means? What does 'His human nature has always been bad' mean?"

When Pan Ling saw Xu coming towards her with a gloomy face, she knew that something was wrong.

"How can the master be a bad person?"

She tried to use the method of the junior sister to get away with it, "In my heart, the master has always been the most perfect person."

"is it?"

Xu Shi sneered, "I'll give you one more chance to organize your words. If you tell me even a single lie, I'll make sure you sleep on your stomach for the rest of your life."

"...Master, I was wrong."

The silly disciple knew Xu Shi's subtext very well. She couldn't resist just thinking about it and had to give in.

"You are not wrong, how could you be wrong?"

Xu Shi began to act childish, and said in a strange tone, "You have really hardened your wings now, and you actually dare to become a teacher behind your back, huh?"

"That's not what I meant..."

Pan Ling wanted to defend herself feeling aggrieved.

"Then what do you mean?"

Xu Shi asked with wide eyes.

"I mean, even though Master is a bad guy, you have always been very kind to me..."

The young apprentice stammered, "So, if the master wants to be a bad guy, then I will just accompany you to be a bad guy..."

"…Who wants you to be a bad guy with me? Can't you be a good guy?"

Xu Shi was stunned for a moment, "You are moved by yourself, right?"

However, his tone was obviously softened, and it was obvious that he was not really as angry as he looked.

To be honest, he doesn't care at all about what others think of him. He just wants to find an excuse to give his stupid apprentice a lesson.

But I didn't expect that the other party seemed to be sincere in what he said.

Master, please stop pretending. You are not cut out to be a good person... Pan Ling complained in her heart.
