She did give Luo Yu some face, but everyone knew that this seemingly conciliatory statement was just a perfunctory response.
Do you need me to treat you to a late-night snack?
Xu Shi spread his hands and looked at Luo Yu with great interest.
He wasn't planning to pursue the matter further, but you insisted on being persistent and making a fool of yourself. So he wouldn't tolerate it and simply ripped off the last shred of decency on the other party's face.
"..."
Despite Xu Shi's harsh words and the reactions of the Feng and Ling sisters, Luo Yu's expression changed repeatedly before he could only turn and leave without saying a word.
I saw him clench his teeth and his hands were tightly clenched into fists, I can't imagine how humiliated he felt.
"Master, I..."
Watching Luo Yu disappear from sight, Pan Ling tugged at Xu Shi's sleeve with a conflicted expression, her face filled with disappointment, hesitant to speak.
"Don't look constipated. Sometimes it's not a bad thing to talk things out, right?"
Instead of offering words of comfort, Xu Shi patted her head and said earnestly, "Have you forgotten everything I taught you before?"
"But, but this concerns me after all..."
"Then you should keep a calm and composed attitude."
Xu Shi advised, "Only by stabilizing your mindset can you view most things rationally."
"As for your relationship with your brother Luo Yu... I'll say it again, do whatever you want to do, I won't interfere."
You clearly just want to see me reject him, don't you... Pan Ling thought to herself, I know what you're thinking, Master. Everyone says girls are petty, but I'm not much better than that, even though I'm a grown man.
But is this just human nature? The foolish apprentice didn't realize how serious the conflict between his master and Luo Yu was before, but now that he sees it, it's actually quite deep. It's like the relationship between royalty and the Papacy.
If that's the case, why would you wish for someone's good fortune rather than their bad? The master himself seems to have never denied it...
"Add one rule to the rules: from now on, you are not allowed to pry into your master's mind."
Seeing her look of realization, Xu Shi also came to his senses and added with a stern face, "I'll let it go this time, but if I find out again, I'll spank you every time. I won't let you off easily."
"Then, Master, please teach me how to control it. It's not like I did it on purpose..."
The silly apprentice muttered, "You still say you're not petty?" But she also suddenly found Xu Shi's serious demeanor quite amusing.
He even wanted to spank himself... Logically speaking, it's reasonable for a master to discipline and punish his apprentice, but when the image flashed through her mind, the little girl still felt something was off.
She herself was a little embarrassed, perhaps because there were too many women around her master? There were already two or three mistresses... Hmm, it wasn't Xiaoling's fault!
"...You're right, let's start tomorrow."
Xu Shi remained noncommittal, his expression softening somewhat. "Go and comfort your sister first. I think she's probably feeling even worse. Consider this your homework for today."
"yes."
Pan Ling nodded quickly and then prepared to slip away. If she stayed with her master any longer, her mind would turn into mush again.
"Where's Butler Chen? Would you like me to treat you to a late-night snack?"
Xu Shi then looked at Steward Chen, who was standing to the side, and asked indifferently.
"...How could I trouble Mr. Xu?"
Butler Chen shook his head. "I'm just here to deliver something to you. Now that I've delivered it, I should go back and report."
After saying that, his figure vanished instantly.
"So, do you still think I should try to win over Luo Yu?"
After finishing up the remaining tasks, Xu Shi yawned and put his arm around Xia Wuyou's waist.
"...You'd better clean him up quickly."
Xia Wuyou was both amused and exasperated, genuinely apologizing for her immature idea earlier. "But you're not good at fighting... shall I?"
It can only be said that Xu Shi was absolutely right. You can't use someone who is too stupid, no matter if he is the so-called protagonist or what kind of strength he has. This impetuous personality has destined many things to happen.
She didn't like Luo Yu to begin with, and now she hates him to the extreme. She just can't stand him contacting her husband repeatedly.
"Yeah, he was trying to bully me just now."
Xia Ke'an raised her hand and jumped up and down. "Dad has to stand up for me, or I'll run away from home."
"Huh? I didn't even notice you were still here until you said something."
Xu Shi feigned surprise, "Speaking of which, shouldn't you be a little more careful? It seems like you're getting more and more into the role."
Seriously, the old lady's behavior just now was quite realistic, especially the way she hid behind me and made faces at Luo Yu. If you're not a little devil, who is? Compared to her, Gu Yi is nothing!
You know, there's only one fate for female devils: they'll be stuffed with cream puffs...
“Indeed, our child is too naughty. No matter how busy you are, you must not forget to discipline him.”
Xia Xiaomao wholeheartedly agreed, suppressing a laugh as she looked at the white-haired loli, "Or should I do it for her? No, a mother's duty is to be a good wife and mother..."
"What are you trying to do?!"
Xia Ke'an took a step back, adopting an adorable defensive stance, "I'm warning you, don't go too far, Xia Wuyou!"
Calling Xu Shi "Dad" is fine, but calling Xia Ke'an "Mom" is absolutely unacceptable; that's the bottom line for this old lady.
Besides, what kind of mother is you, always trying to lecture me? How vicious!
Just wait, I'll get my comeuppance with you sooner or later!
Xu Shi burst into laughter as he watched the interaction between the Xia family aunt and niece.
I have to say, although the ethical relationships around me are somewhat chaotic, they are surprisingly interesting.
