Brother Luo Yu has quite a few red threads (romantic connections).
Upon hearing about his deeds, Xu Shi narrowed his eyes.
He hadn't paid much attention to it before, and he never expected that the other party had already had some dealings with that little empress—to be honest, with the Templars' biased stance like this, how could they still be considered a neutral organization?
If we were to follow the script, he should have waited until he achieved more success and fame before turning around and representing the Templars and the royal family, ultimately killing Cheng Gujian with a single blow, reaping the gold coins, and winning the heart of the beautiful Dongfang Xiao...
However, he was too lazy to investigate the details, as it was not worth wasting his brain cells on such a thing.
It was the boyish-looking Lu Baiyan beside him who piqued Xu Shi's interest more.
It's not for any other reason than that this guy looks like a cunning old fox—he didn't do anything when Luo Yu was out of control, and only came out to play the good guy when the situation was getting out of control.
In terms of status alone, although they were both Silver Knights, his voice was clearly more powerful than Luo Yu's, and a few casual words from him were enough to make Luo Yu not dare to breathe.
It's clearly a superior-subordinate relationship—and this guy might not actually be on Luo Yu's side, otherwise he would never have seemingly offered advice while actually adding something like, "I've never heard you mention your sister before." Isn't that just stirring things up?
And these words did have some effect; at least Xu Shi noticed that the expressions on the faces of the Feng and Ling sisters behind him became even more unpleasant.
Well, so you're a fun person too?
"In short, we were in the wrong, and we hope Brother Chen will forgive us."
Lezi was apologizing to Butler Chen, "Is this alright?"
What's the point of telling me this?
Butler Chen said expressionlessly, "You've offended Mr. Xu, so he's the one who should apologize."
"That's true."
Lu Baiyan feigned sudden realization and quickly looked at Xu Shi, "Envoy Xu, are you so magnanimous as to forgive my mistake?"
"It's just a minor disagreement, why should I hold a grudge?"
Xu Shi shrugged, "But our place has been turned upside down like this, there has to be an explanation, right?"
"This is easy, leave it to me."
Lu Baiyan patted his chest, then closed his eyes and clasped his hands together.
In an instant, waves of light, resembling water rippled from his body, and the mess he had left behind was instantly restored to its original state.
"This is?"
Xia Wuyou raised an eyebrow, asking curiously.
"This guy's ability is 'Time Reversal'."
Butler Chen explained for him, "However, this only applies to inanimate objects, allowing them to revert to their state at most half an hour ago."
Xu blinked.
That's interesting. Is this a special skill for cleaning up messes?
This guy even has squinty eyes... It's a bit creepy, and you still say you're not a fun person?
"It's just a trivial skill; I'm just a handyman."
After Lu Baiyan finished washing the floor, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Is Envoy Xu satisfied? As for the rest, I've already said... We can discuss it further when you come to the Holy See."
That's enough. Who are you trying to fool by pretending to be weak? If you were just a janitor, would you have made it to fourth place? Xu Shi muttered to himself. Even if it couldn't work on living things, his ability still had a lot of room for maneuver.
Moreover, judging from the level of skill, it's at least an A+, maybe even an S... You can't really tell much just by repairing a house.
The Vatican is indeed full of hidden talents... Hmm, I have no choice but to pay them a visit now.
Having figured things out, Xu Shi had no desire to dwell on it any further.
Even if there were any, it wouldn't be now, so after exchanging a few pleasantries, he prepared to go back.
Unfortunately, some people were oblivious. Just as the groups were parting ways, Luo Yu suddenly spoke up, calling out to the two sisters, Feng and Ling, behind him, "You..."
"..."
Seeing his unwilling and persistent look, Xu Shi was completely speechless.
Is this never going to end?
"Xiao Feng, Xiao Ling."
Xu Shi thought for a moment, then simply pushed the two sisters in front of him. "I'm a very open-minded person and I won't do anything against other people's wishes... If you want to go visit your brother Luo Yu, that's fine too, it's up to you."
"I……"
Pan Feng lowered his eyes, shook his head without much thought, and turned to go straight back to the inn.
She's just straightforward, not stupid; she'd been feeling a little uneasy since earlier today.
Although she easily killed the royal knight, she also realized a problem.
Over the years, has Brother Luo Yu ever seriously taught me anything?
At least the girl was very certain that if she had only used the sword techniques he had taught her, she would probably be the one who ended up as a corpse today.
On the contrary, his master, ever since taking him as his apprentice, has been teaching him everything he knows.
Whether she held nothing back is hard to say, but there's no doubt that her strength has improved by leaps and bounds. This comparison alone speaks volumes. How long has she known Xu Shi and his group? Right?
Furthermore, she had just overheard that Luo Yu hadn't even mentioned her to anyone else... Why was that? Was it because he felt ashamed of being from Silver Pine Island, or because he felt ashamed of being her sister who came from Silver Pine Island?
Xiao Feng didn't pursue whether Lu Baiyan's words were true or false, but her disappointment was palpable.
Especially when she recalled how her master had publicly proclaimed himself in front of the royal family today, she felt really uncomfortable. When she looked at Luo Yu, she subconsciously felt a bit resistant.
How could I possibly have gone to his place?
"Brother Luo Yu, you should go back first."
On the contrary, Pan Ling, who is usually quiet, said a few more words at this moment, "Before we came out, my father told us to stay with my master and mistress and let them take care of me and my sister... We will come to see you when we have time."
