Xia Wuyou made this arrangement in the hope that she could receive some systematic training. Of course, she also wanted to find something to distract her from the Luo Yu incident.
Or perhaps she has come to realize that, putting everything else aside, personal strength is indispensable.
Therefore, she didn't want to miss any opportunity to become stronger, especially if someone was guiding her, she would work even harder.
What else can we do? Just like before, some people are happy for a long time after being taught a few fancy moves?
Xu Shi nodded. To be honest, this was a bit cruel for her, but it wasn't so bad if it had a positive effect. Just like he said before, it's better to talk things out than not.
Besides, they have a qualified doctor supervising them, so he didn't need to worry at all. He turned to ask, "And you? How did you feel after the injection?"
The "Constant Self" thing has long passed its risk period. Since we said we'd give her an injection, there's no need to delay. The people of the Hualan Empire are no different from the people of the Night Sin City in terms of eyes and noses, so there's no need to worry about intolerance.
"Ah...it works really well, and I don't feel any discomfort..."
It was a simple question, but it immediately made the foolish apprentice tense up, and he stammered as he answered, "Now, now, I can control the switch of my ability myself..."
The effects of "Constant Self" were immediate, especially for someone like her who was at the C level. Pan Ling herself never expected that the problem that had been bothering her would be solved so easily by her master.
But she was genuinely shy, for no other reason than that Xu Shi himself had given her the injection, and it was even given in her buttocks…
This is definitely some people's twisted sense of humor. Even the foolish apprentice knows that the one who is skilled in medicine on the master's side is that Aunt Xie, or rather, Master Xie's wife, right? Anyway, the master is definitely not good at it, but that day he pretended to be very serious, saying that he cared about his apprentice, and he even got a white robe, white hat, mask, gloves and such from somewhere, making himself look very proper.
The conversation at the time was even more strange, with things like "It might hurt a little later, just bear with it," which sounded really odd... Afterwards, she also overheard her junior sister and Aunt Xia chatting, saying that it didn't necessarily have to be injected into the buttocks; an injection in the arm was a more common method...
"Bad master."
She couldn't help but mutter to herself, and the worst part was that she couldn't help but imagine things in her mind. She'd never seen her master dressed like that before...
"What did you say?"
Xu asked leisurely.
"I, I said... I said you're a bad teacher."
Pan Ling thought for a moment and didn't back down. Instead, she mustered up her courage and raised her voice a little louder, "You, you just want to spank me, you did it on purpose."
"Did you just find out today?"
Xu Shi wasn't angry at all because his apprentice kissed him. Instead, he chuckled mischievously, "Look on the bright side. You'll get used to it if I hit you now."
The foolish apprentice looked aggrieved, "I didn't do anything wrong, why did you hit me..."
"It's better to be prepared than to wait until you make a mistake and then punish you."
Xu Shi had his twisted logic: "Besides, as the old saying goes, 'Spare the rod and spoil the child.'"
Where did this old saying come from? Pan Ling couldn't help but roll her eyes, but it wasn't a spur-of-the-moment idea that he wanted to spank her; he had this thought even before she became his apprentice... In the end, he got his way, which was quite honest of him.
But all that's left is honesty! Everything else seems unreliable! Is it too late to switch allegiance to Master Xia now?
Xu Shi was overjoyed; teasing his apprentice was a delightful thing.
Pan Ling shook her head. She was afraid that if she continued to discuss this issue, she would lose control of her sense of shame. So she cleared her throat and focused on the matter itself. "Disciple, disciple is still very grateful to Master for helping me solve the problem... but I still feel uneasy about using medicine like this..."
After all, her father, and some of the elders on Silverpine Island, had all cultivated themselves step by step. Even her sister had done the same, still sweating profusely on the training ground... In her opinion, that was the correct way for a "chosen one" to improve themselves.
"What does it matter? I went through the same thing as your master."
Xu Shi's smile faded slightly. "As long as the result is the same, ability is just a means to an end. Improving it first and then consolidating it later is the same thing."
This is his consistent philosophy. It is true that combat personnel need a lot of training to lay a solid foundation. If they don't train, they can easily become bloated just by relying on their level. But since they are not combat personnel, it is not a problem to be more lenient in this regard. He has never had a single day of systematic training. How could he be worse than anyone else?
He has even overcome the problems of complications. He used to have to take medication afterward, but now he only takes it when he remembers. Essentially, he no longer takes it seriously, and he is no longer tormented by paranoia.
"oh……"
Pan Ling nodded as if she understood, but she needed some time to process this kind of conceptual issue.
Instead of dwelling on this, you should pay more attention to your own mental health.
Xu Shi said slowly, "You seem to be in good shape lately, but I also see some problems. Your thinking seems a bit too extreme... The assignments you recently gave me look like they were written by a machine."
For example, what she has in her hand is an upgraded version of the trolley problem: lifeboat ethics. Compared to simply saving one or five, it involves more and broader issues.
It's not that the silly apprentice's answer was wrong, but the question itself was a bit too rational and absolute, completely different from her reaction when she first faced this kind of question.
