Pan Feng never expected that coming here just to eat melon seeds and watch the show would lead to him being caught by his master and asked questions.

For her, getting along with her master was not a problem, and Xu Shi was a very good person in her eyes.

but.

Except when it comes to the level of education.

If it were someone else, the reason for their dislike might be that Xu Shi's way of educating the younger generation was too cruel, always making people face bloody facts, etc... But Xiao Feng's reasons for disliking it are different.

She doesn't understand.

Of course, it wasn't that she couldn't understand in the traditional sense; more accurately, it was that she lacked the ability to analyze what Xu Shi was thinking behind his questions.

If you're not careful, you might fall into your wicked master's trap and get played with (not really).

You should ask my sister about this! She can answer your riddles perfectly now...

But when she met Xu Shi's intense gaze, she knew that she probably couldn't avoid this hurdle.

"As for me... I'm fine with anything, right?"

Pan Feng was at his wit's end. After considering it for a moment, he hesitated before answering, "As long as it's strong enough, I don't think the form or anything like that is very important..."

That was certainly true for her—she wasn't a die-hard exoskeleton enthusiast like Xia Wuyou, or a mecha fanatic like Gu Yi; her desire was more direct: to become stronger.

As for what it is, that's not a question.

Because her talent was only average and her superpowers were also mediocre, she couldn't fly or teleport like her master. She could only force herself to become faster and faster.

The exoskeleton, on the other hand, greatly enhances her advantages in this area, which is why she wears it often. It's not that she's really just copying Xia Xiaomao.

As for mechs... mechs are also very powerful. In the three years since she came to Night Sin City from the Hualan Empire, she has long felt the power of this kind of pure technological combat machine. Even a weakling like Master Donggua, no, Master Gu, can dominate the world with it.

There's just one downside.

She couldn't learn it... It wasn't that Xiao Feng hadn't attended mecha training classes before, but unfortunately, her results were disastrous, and it's still a dark cloud hanging over her mind.

Therefore, even if Xu Shi said it was a multiple-choice question, she couldn't decide which was better.

"I told you this was a multiple-choice question."

Xu Shi seemed somewhat displeased upon hearing this.

"But if you ask me, Master, this is the only answer I can give."

Pan Feng sensed something was wrong, but he still insisted on not changing his mind.

That's right, you're just my master's father, not my master. Even if you punish me, how can you punish me? My master wouldn't agree to it if he saw it!

Oh, so even the master is completely under his thumb all the time? Never mind then.

Even so, she had no other answers.

"Not going to change it?"

Xu Shi pressed for an answer.

"Okay, I won't change it."

Pan Feng thought for a moment and nodded.

"It's right not to change it."

The expected "punishment" did not follow. When Pan Feng looked up at him again, he could only see relief in Xu Shi's eyes.

"What...do you mean?"

Pan Feng was stunned.

"It means exactly what it says. Isn't the answer you gave the correct one?"

Xu Shi smiled and said, "What truly determines whether a person is strong or not is never external things, but their inner self."

"Is your master strong? Of course. Is your master's wife weak? Not necessarily."

He explained, "It's just a different way of presenting it. As you said, the form doesn't matter."

"Emotion, belief, and mind—these are a person's true strength."

"Don't be gullible, don't blindly follow, don't be hasty. Use your eyes to see, your brain to think, and your heart to judge... When you can do this without distraction, that's true strength."

It was rare for Xiaofeng to see him speak so kindly, and for a moment she felt that he seemed quite profound.

But she quickly realized what she meant, "But Master, didn't you say this was a multiple-choice question?"

"It's a multiple-choice question; the answer is inner strength."

Xu Shi did not deny it, "I don't think I ever said that the correct answer only exists in the options I gave, right?"

"……oh."

Pan Feng secretly rolled his eyes; so that's what they were waiting for.

Master's mystique, though late, finally arrived.

"In short, it's a good thing that you understand this principle."

Xu Shi didn't argue with him about it. "Who said you're stupid? You're obviously very smart."

"No, there isn't any..."

Little Feng thought to herself, "This was all a complete accident, do you believe me?" But on the surface, she still had to appear humble and receptive to instruction.

Why.

wrong.

"Who said I'm stupid?"

She suddenly realized that there was something wrong with the second half of Xu Shi's sentence, and hurriedly shouted.

"...Nobody, just a casual remark."

Xu Shi then realized that he might have accidentally let something slip, and coughed twice to try to end the conversation.

"It must be Pan Ling!"

Pan Feng then became even smarter, "I'm her older sister! How dare she talk about me being stupid behind my back?! I'm going to beat her butt to a pulp!"

As she spoke, she rolled up her sleeves, intending to find her dear younger sister and show her what it means to have a mother's love as deep as a mountain.

Unfortunately, she hadn't taken more than two steps before she changed direction.

Yes, the competition between Gu Yi and Xia Wuyou has ended.

The sudden cloud of dust obscured everyone's view, and all that could be heard was the roaring sound coming from within.

"Master, Master, are you alright?"
