"Brother Luo Yu, why do you say that?"
Looking at Luo Yu's serious expression, Pan Feng, who was standing in front of his sister, also frowned.
Today, she went out to celebrate the victory with her younger sister and senior sister, which was a very happy thing for her.
Then, after the celebration ended and they returned to the inn, they ran into Luo Yu and his friends.
This should have been a happy occasion as well. Xiao Feng, with her cheerful personality, had long since forgotten what happened on the island and was even thinking of sharing the joy of victory with Brother Luo Yu. She had done something truly remarkable.
Unexpectedly, the other party had no interest in chatting. Instead, upon seeing them with Xu Shi and his group, their expression changed instantly. Not only were their words barbed, but they also seemed to want to forcibly take the two of them away.
"...What I mean is, since you two came to the main city, why didn't you tell me?"
Faced with Pan Feng's question, Luo Yu paused for a moment before pretending to be calm and said, "It wouldn't be good to trouble Brother Xu... He has important business to attend to here, so don't cause him any trouble. Come with me to the Holy See, and it will be more convenient for me to take care of you."
His face was not good; it was gloomy and dark, and as he forcibly suppressed his emotions, it even appeared somewhat dark.
It would be a miracle if he were in a good mood.
After suffering a setback on Silverpine Island, he had no choice but to return to the ship to deal with the bronze-level matters. In the end, he left in a sorry state, without even having the nerve to say goodbye.
This wasn't the first time he'd returned to his hometown after venturing out, but every time before, he was always surrounded by a large crowd. Everyone who saw him would say, "He's the pride of our Silver Pine Island!"
This time, however, it turned out like this—to put it bluntly, he looked like a dog, covered in dust and dirt!
Even Uncle Pan, who had always treated him like family, wasn't much better. The few times he came to him afterward, he always played the peacemaker, trying to mediate the conflict between him and Xu Shijian... He was very indifferent to him personally, and his words always gave him the feeling that he was siding with outsiders.
He's just an outsider, is he really worth all this trouble? And you're defending him at every turn...
If it were just that, it wouldn't be so bad. But after returning to the main city, he still had to deal with the follow-up matters. In the past few days, he had been subjected to countless open and veiled taunts and sarcastic remarks from his colleagues, and many people had taken the opportunity to make trouble and question his abilities as a newly promoted Silver Knight.
That's the logic. Nominally, the four bronze-level servants are there as attendants and guards, but they don't actually protect you.
Not to mention that everyone knows Silver Pine Island is Luo Yu's hometown. Returning home to visit relatives and causing such a scene is a huge joke in itself.
Dealing with these matters alone was overwhelming for him, and on top of that, there was the "Sea God" incident to handle. In just a few days, he visibly became much more haggard.
I finally had some free time today, so I went out to relax with some nice colleagues from the Vatican. But as luck would have it, on my way back I saw the Feng and Ling sisters with Xu Shi's daughter, chatting and laughing happily.
What was originally a warm and harmonious scene turned into a powder keg in his eyes, causing him to explode instantly. He even lost his temper for once, and the words he said were quite unpleasant.
They panicked and their defenses crumbled.
How could you associate with Xu Shi?
In Luo Yu's view, being with Xu Shi's daughter meant being with Xu Shi, which at least proved they came together, right? They seemed to have a good relationship...
What do you mean by that?
Before Feng and Ling could answer, Xia Ke'an was a little unhappy. "The way you're saying that makes it sound like my father can't take good care of them? If you really had that intention, why didn't you take your junior sisters with you when you left?"
"...They didn't tell me they were coming back too."
Luo Yu was speechless for a moment, and after a long silence, he replied in a low voice, "But since they're here, as their older brother, it's only right that I take care of them. Little sister, could you please tell your father that I thank him for taking care of Xiao Feng and Xiao Ling these past few days?"
"Xiao Ke'an can't make that decision."
The older woman flatly refused, her words laced with sarcasm, "If you're so capable, go talk to my dad yourself. Why are you trying to be a hero while he's not around?"
"..."
Luo Yu was taken aback, thinking to himself that this was truly worthy of being Xu Shi's daughter. Her sharp tongue was not much different from his own. Her words sounded serious, but in reality, they were all sarcastic and sarcastic.
"...Okay, I'll talk to him about the situation later."
However, he was too lazy to argue with Xia Ke'an, and as he spoke, he moved closer, seemingly intending to snatch her away!
Unfortunately, he missed his target—almost in the blink of an eye, Shen Qin, who was standing to the side, made her move. The short knife in her hand flashed with a cold light and hummed as it tore through the air, pointing directly at Luo Yu.
Luo Yu was shocked; he had never expected her to be so fast!
However, his reaction was quick. He instinctively drew his sword, and the patterns on the back of his hand emitted light, blocking her attack.
The long sword and the short knife clashed, instantly creating a powerful shockwave.
In an instant, a section of the inn's windows shattered with a crash—this was only because the two of them were still rational and restrained their strength; otherwise, the aftershocks alone would have affected countless innocent people.
However, this was still quite astonishing, especially for the two sisters, Feng and Ling, who were completely dumbfounded.
Before Shen Qin appeared, the two of them didn't even know that Xu Shi had secretly sent people to protect their safety, let alone that this Sister Shen was actually a great expert.
The main reason is that they hadn't had much contact with Shen Qin before... On Silver Pine Island, she often seemed absent-minded and eccentric, and she was basically a loner who didn't like to communicate with others. She didn't seem reliable. Pan Feng had even complained to his sister in private that she thought she was silly.
