Perhaps because it has weathered many storms, there is no solemn atmosphere of rebuilding in this place.
It's like a completely different world from the outside world—it's not that they're completely unaffected, but it doesn't seem like they've been greatly affected either.
The only one whose mood was off was probably Pan Feng... being bossed around by Donggua's teacher's wife, no, Gu Yi's teacher's wife, who appeared out of nowhere, the young girl felt extremely wronged.
Unfortunately, her master couldn't stand up for her—after all, she had sparred with an SS-level opponent, and Xia Wuyou's complications left her extremely weak, requiring her to rest for a while. These days, she probably won't even be able to get out of bed.
Waaaaah.
The tough woman shed tears again.
However, Miss Black Rabbit's smugness didn't last long before a shadow appeared behind her and grabbed her ear. "Gu Yi, you're an elder, why are you arguing with a child?"
Su Lin's tone was filled with helplessness, and it was clear that she had worried a lot about her unruly "sister" during Xu Shi's absence.
"Ouch, ouch, it hurts..."
Gu Yi seemed to have her lifeline seized, and her attitude did a complete 180-degree turn, "Sister Su Lin, I was wrong, please don't pull me..."
Clearly, during Xu Shi's absence, the hierarchy among the girls became more distinct.
Su Lin didn't spoil her. She waited until Pan Feng solemnly promised that she would never bully the poor girl again before nodding and letting her go.
"They're still just kids..."
Gu Yi muttered, rubbing her ears.
That's true, after all, she wasn't much older than the Feng and Ling sisters. If they were considered children, then wasn't she too?
The real doctor wasn't buying her act and turned to comfort Pan Feng.
"Xiao Feng, don't mind it. That's just how your teacher's wife is. She doesn't mean any harm."
Her tone was incredibly gentle, yet tinged with seriousness, "However, if she bullies you again in the future, and your master can't handle it, come and talk to me, understand?"
"Um……"
Pan Feng wasn't really that aggrieved, but he still felt warmed by such comfort. "Thank you, Madam Su."
For a moment, she thought her mother had come from Silver Pine Island.
Xu Shi was stunned. What did I just see?
Good heavens, this isn't the Su Lin I remember!
To be fair, although she had always taken great care of me before, she was definitely not the way she was just now!
Perhaps because the idea of "young master and maid" was always ingrained in his mind, Su Lin and he had always maintained a certain distance over the years, but he had always kept that distance well and never overstepped it.
Only after that "window" was broken did their relationship begin to resemble that of a normal couple, or even a normal married couple.
But it wasn't the same for Pan Feng; Boss Xu could clearly feel the maternal glow emanating from her.
Who are you? You seem like a complete stranger to everyone!
Especially knowing her past in detail, Xu Shi felt that all of this was incredibly absurd.
However, Pan Feng was unaware of this. She didn't even know how fierce Su Shiniang had been when she tore apart the Silver Knights of the Holy See. She only thought that Su Shiniang was nice and spoke softly, which made her feel very comfortable.
"Are you surprised?"
Tang Shuang's voice came from beside me, "I feel perfectly normal."
"oh?"
"Your relationship with Director Su is quite special, isn't it? She's also willing to take care of these household chores for you."
Governor Tang said with great interest, "Besides that, she might also be very willing to have a child with you?"
Correct, fair, and incisive.
If the other girls and Xu Shi still felt the thrill of separation, then Su Lin and he had probably already entered the next stage—living like a proper family.
Prolonging one's lineage is also a very important part of this.
But Xu Shi knew that he wasn't very interested in this matter. At least he wouldn't consider it until the issue of "Heavenly Principles" was resolved. Not to mention how much effort it would take to have a child, if "Heavenly Principles" weren't eliminated, wouldn't the child be just like a puppet?
He had discussed these matters with Su Lin before setting sail, and she naturally gave him her full support for his decision.
So, since he doesn't plan to have any more children in the family anytime soon, it wouldn't be bad to treat his apprentices like his own children, would it?
Even older children.
"You see things very clearly."
Xu Shi smiled, his words tinged with emotion.
"Don't forget what I do."
Tang Shuang laughed, "The former head of the Inspection Bureau, the current governor of Night Sin City, can't even see this much? I might as well be dismissed... It's you who's a bit blinded by your own involvement, isn't it?"
Xu Shi remained noncommittal.
As they spoke, Su Lin managed to appease Pan Feng.
"Go and take care of your master. She slept in the treatment chamber all night and should be much better now, but she will definitely need someone to stay with her."
"Uh-huh!"
Pan Feng was a dutiful apprentice, and he was already planning to do the same thing without her reminding him.
She also dragged away her younger sister who was watching the commotion at Xu Shi's place, which made Xiao Ling a little resentful.
I finally got to hear about my master's family affairs, and such a good opportunity is gone just like that!
"Let me tell you something, sis."
On the way out, Pan Feng whispered mysteriously to his sister, "I've figured it out. Of all Master's wives, Su's words definitely carry the most weight!"
"Hmm, so?"
"So...of course we should take good care of her!"
