The obedient disciple's mind was a complete mess, so he couldn't think about this at all. Upon hearing this, he simply made a mechanical refusal.
"Just like your father said, one thing at a time."
Xu Shi shook his head, took something out of his inner pocket and handed it to her, "Here, I left in a hurry and don't have anything good on me, you can take this first."
"What... what is this?"
His attitude was firm, and the young apprentice couldn't refuse, but she was very curious about what it was. Jewelry? It looked like a pendant, but it didn't come with a chain...
Hmm, a necklace as a greeting gift? That feels a bit strange. Is it a custom from Master's hometown?
This thought made her even more at a loss.
People who overthink things are like this: they unconsciously fill in the blanks in their minds whenever they see something.
But people like Xia Wuyou, Jiang Chengcheng, and Xia Ke'an certainly knew what Xu Shi had given to Pan Ling.
You're offering a "beacon" as a gift?!
Goodness, when did you become so generous?
They knew perfectly well how overpowered this thing was. If it weren't for this, their deaths from drowning would have been brought forward by at least half a year... If they remembered correctly, they only had one more chance to use it? But that was still amazing, right?
Jiang Chengcheng knew that this thing couldn't be replicated. She had even studied it after the riot ended and things settled down. But it was formed from the power of Shen Tianhong, Shen He's father, and was a very unique existence. It was impossible to make it with current technology.
So you really care about this cheap apprentice, huh? Could it be true...? Originally, everyone took Xie Qingyan's words as a joke, but now they're starting to believe it.
Even Shen Qin, who had been keeping her distance from everyone, couldn't contain herself any longer. She wished she could pounce on the "beacon" like a vicious dog and snatch it away. That belonged to her brother! How dare you give it to someone else?!
But forced by Xu Shi's tyranny, she could only suppress her anger and silently curse and despise him in her heart.

Xu Shi didn't care at all. After all, this was his first apprentice, and who knows, maybe his last. Of course, he had to give him something good. Otherwise, if the foreigners next door saw this, they would think he couldn't afford it.
"Here, let me show you how to use this."
He patiently explained the usage to Pan Ling, "You're an 'Ascension,' no, a 'Chosen One,' right? Then you should know how to mobilize the 'divine energy' within your body. If you encounter an emergency, just... Hey! Are you listening?"
Yes, yes!
The obedient apprentice was startled and hurriedly straightened up. "I'm very serious. I absolutely haven't thought about what the child will be named..."
"Clam?"
Xu Shi was completely bewildered. He'd really been corrupted by that slut... "Listen carefully, I'll only teach you once. If you don't learn it, no one will care if you die!"
"yes!"
It must be said that scolding was more effective on Pan Ling; she finally came to her senses a little.
After learning how to use the "beacon," she was even more moved. It sounded like such an amazing thing, and her master just gave it to her like that.
He's a great mentor...
Xu Shi's kindness and filial piety towards his teacher and disciple put Xia Wuyou in a somewhat difficult position.
She also prepared a gift for her apprentice! But compared to this, it seems a bit lacking...
Unfortunately, she didn't have anything else of value, so she had no choice but to bite the bullet and call Pan Feng over, who handed her a brand-new alloy sword.
"This... is a gift for you as we first met."
Xia Xiaomao was a little embarrassed. "Keep it for now, and I'll get you a new one when we get back to Night City."
"No need, sir, this is perfect, I love it!"
Pan Feng's eyes widened in surprise. She was a carefree and easily satisfied child, especially since the gift was exactly what she wanted. She was overjoyed... This was so much better than her old wooden sword...
"Thank you, Master!"
Xia Wuyou was very pleased with her attitude; this child was still very innocent and adorable.
"Ugh, it needs to be changed, it needs to be changed."
Jiang Chengcheng walked over with a smile; she also liked such a clean-looking child.
After all, that was what she used to look like.
"I'll personally modify it for you when we get back."
She also offered a small token of her appreciation, handing the two small pistols to the Feng and Ling sisters, saying, "Take these for now; they're a token of my appreciation as their teacher's wife."
This is also a good thing. It is one of the latest weapons developed by "Snake Ring" after the riot. It is called "Fire Serpent". It is powerful and small and portable. Before leaving, Tang Shuang specially ordered a batch, saying that it was to upgrade the equipment of the armed personnel of the city hall and the inspection bureau.
The two little girls were overjoyed; who wouldn't be happy to receive so many gifts?
"Thank you, Master... um, thank you, Master's wife!"
Pan Feng bowed and thanked him, "Can I call you Master's Wife?"
Actually, there's nothing wrong with it. You can't exactly call him "Uncle-Master," can you? After all, "Master Father" has more than one wife, just like "Father"...
"But just calling you 'Master's Wife' doesn't seem quite right... Um, who's older between you and my master?"
She thought about it and tentatively asked. This hot-blooded fool wasn't stupid; he still had manners and should be polite. Besides, there was Xie Qingyan. Wouldn't it be chaotic if they both called her "Master's Wife"?
Xia Wuyou and Jiang Chengcheng exchanged a glance, clearly embarrassed by the question.
"Why don't you just call her Master's Wife?"
Xu Shi made the final decision, and then pointed at his obedient disciple, "And your Master Xia, from now on, that's what you'll call her."
"yes."
Pan Ling nodded obediently.
"As for her... call her Auntie."
Xu Shi then looked at Xie Qingyan, a sly glint in his eyes.
"Um?!"
Xie Qingyan was watching the drama unfold when she was momentarily stunned.
