The implication is that this is something we have to do ourselves, and it has absolutely nothing to do with whether or not we listen to the royal family.
Xu Shi was too lazy to listen to their sarcastic remarks; he just wanted to complain.
It's almost noon already, and everyone's been waiting here for you guys to spout nonsense, haven't they? It's like a school sports meet – supposed to last three or five days, but the first half of the day is always spent on the school leaders talking nonsense, and we can't even use our phones or read comics. So annoying…
After what seemed like an eternity, the long and tedious speech finally came to an end, and everyone boarded the ship, waiting for the command to set sail.
The royal ships were naturally meticulously crafted, not only using the technology of Silver Pine Island, but also with some small assistance from Jiang Chengcheng before she left. Compared to Pan Cheng and his group's wooden ships, they were far more magnificent.
The Papacy's ships were easy to spot; their hulls were painted snow-white, and each ship had a statue on its bow, said to be the god worshipped by the people of the empire... I don't know what methods they used, but they looked radiant from every angle.
Interestingly, compared to Xu Shi's two ships, both the royal family and the Papacy seemed somewhat overshadowed...
Many people who had gathered around were curious about who had created this strange, enormous object.
Envy me... Xu Shi was quite enjoying this feeling. Of course, he wouldn't take someone else's boat. He immediately planned to go back. He didn't even need to wait for any instructions. I'm an outsider, why should I listen to your orders?
Just as he was about to board the ship, someone called out to him, "Envoy Xu, please wait."
Turning around, I saw a red-haired woman dressed in armor.
Who are you?
Xu Shi raised an eyebrow.
"Commander of the Knights Templar, Qin Yiyan."
The red-haired woman had a serious expression and a low voice.
"Sorry, sorry."
Xu Shi gave a perfunctory bow. "What brings you here, sir? Are you standing up for your subordinate?"
"That's not it. I've already heard about Luo Yu's situation; it's not entirely your fault."
Qin Yiyan shook his head, then looked him up and down. "I'm just curious, since you come from a foreign land, do you believe in gods?"
I don't believe it.
Xu Shi smiled and shook his head.
"...Without reverence, they are truly barbarians."
The red-haired woman remained silent for a moment, gave him a cold laugh, then waved her hand and strode away.
?
Are you sick in the head?
Xu Shi frowned. To say he understood was not entirely wrong. His relationship with the Vatican was certainly not good, and he couldn't expect everyone to greet him with a smile like Lu Baiyan.
You just came all this way to make a sarcastic remark? Who spoiled you?
Okay, mark her as a bad woman.
Xu Shi never denies that he is petty. Even if you have no problems, he might find something to make trouble for you, let alone someone like this who takes the initiative to provoke you.
Anyway, there's still room for maneuver with the Vatican, so he can deal with things slowly later; he's not in a hurry.
Thinking this to himself, he turned his head and saw that all the women were scrutinizing him with strange looks.
"What are you doing here? You're here too?"
"It's nothing, I'm just curious how you have such good luck with girls. Every pretty girl wants to talk to you."
The sarcastic remarks were naturally delivered by Xie Qingyan, and his expression was exactly the same as Xia Wuyou and the others' reaction when he made fun of the Little Empress.
"Which eye of yours saw this as good fortune in love?"
Xu Shi rolled her eyes at her. "Is this what they mean by 'a doctor cannot heal himself'?"
"Isn't that right?"
The slut retorted, "You probably already have feelings for her, don't you?"
"Does wanting to beat her up count as a thought?"
Xu Shi retorted irritably, "Am I that kind of person? Besides, red hair isn't my type, okay?"
This statement was clearly not very convincing, and everyone still had a "Really? I don't believe it" expression.
It's not really their fault. When they talked about the Little Empress Dongfang Xiao, this guy gave the same answer, and who knew that the other party was exactly as he described? Now we have to be suspicious of you.
"……OK!"
Feeling annoyed by their stares, Xu Shi inexplicably got angry and said, "I'm putting my words on the line today!"
"Unless she has her hands tied behind her back, kneels in front of me, and begs me to do *that* to her, don't even think about it, okay?!"
