It is said that Xu Shi was "given" to Su Lin and Gu Yi during this period, but in reality, it was not just the two of them who wanted to say goodbye to him.
Anyway, not long after, a call came from Sin City, who stammered that he wanted to meet him.
"Master... are you going to set sail yourself?"
The person who contacted him was naturally Lin Yue. Inside the mansion in the sixth district, the assassin girl was dressed up and waited respectfully for Xu Shi's arrival.
"Huh? Did I already tell you?"
Xu Shi was taken aback. How come he remembered that he hadn't told her yet?
"It was Governor Tang who told me."
Lin Yue lowered her eyes. "Isn't this the topic of the city hall meeting tomorrow? ...I'm going too. It was mentioned in the materials she sent me beforehand."
"Oh, right, right, right."
Xu Shi slapped his forehead. How could he always forget that the other person was no longer a gang leader, but the Lord of Sin City... Maybe it was because the past training experiences were too interesting? It wasn't because he had been so preoccupied with the other person these past few days that he had lost his mind.
"Do you... really have to go?"
Lin Yue's face showed worry, "Actually, you don't have to go, do you?"
"Why do you say that?" Xu Shi asked curiously.
"Because it seems better to send someone ahead to scout the way?"
The assassin girl said earnestly, "Going to sea is dangerous, isn't it? I always feel that as a leader, what you're doing seems a bit reckless."
"When did it become your turn to lecture me?"
Xu Shi smiled and pulled her into his arms. "Of course, what you said makes sense... but I prefer the thrill of the unknown, and I don't want to miss out on things like that."
This is the truth. He considers himself a person who seeks victory through stability, but not the kind of stability that makes him as steady as an old dog. If he pursues this too much, he will miss out on a lot of fun in life.
Do you even understand the significance of an emperor personally leading an expedition? (Leans back tactically)
Furthermore, although what Lin Yue said was true, it concerned "natural law" and was a matter of great importance. He could not be allowed to be a hands-off manager, and it was necessary to do everything personally, otherwise he would still be uneasy.
"Yes, Lin Yue is too talkative."
Seeing that he said that, Lin Yue naturally didn't try to persuade him any further and nodded gently.
"Then, will you take me with you?"
She thought for a moment and then said, "Or let Lin Xing go with you... that way your safety will be more guaranteed."
"Well, I don't think we need to?"
Xu Shi waved his hand and said half-jokingly, "I've already decided on the people to go to sea... Tell me earlier next time."
"……Um."
The assassin girl was obedient, but the disappointment on her face was clearly visible.
In fact, she also realized that, to be honest, her combat strength was definitely not bad, and Lin Xing was the same.
However, if placed among the people around Xu Shi, she would appear relatively mediocre, so it's understandable that Xu Shi wouldn't consider her.
But despite saying it, she was definitely not happy... Being neglected by her master was one thing, but more importantly, she felt that she couldn't help Xu Shi at all, which made her even more upset.
Thinking this, she suddenly couldn't help but cry.
Why are you crying?
Xu Shi was taken aback by the reaction, which was completely unexpected.
"I... I just feel... that I'm useless..."
Lin Yue sobbed intermittently, "I'm of no use in this matter, I..."
"..."
Xu remained silent.
Is it because the "entropy of evil thoughts" is too effective? I have a feeling that the little assassin girl's corruption is deeper than I thought...
You can tell from how she addresses him as "master"—others who call him that do so with a hint of flirtation, but she uses that title out of pure submission, which is quite different in essence.
He really didn't expect her reaction to be so intense. Perhaps it was related to her past experiences? She had been abandoned by Shenhe back in "Spark," and now she felt that she had neglected her. Being treated like this all the time, no matter how strong she seemed, she was actually always on the verge of collapse.
Oh, poor child.
"Okay, okay, don't cry, don't cry."
Xu Shi sighed and gently kissed her forehead. "Don't overthink it. When did I ever say you were useless?"
If she were truly useless, I wouldn't have put so much effort into her—not just training her, but also helping her rise to her current position step by step. Even now, if she encounters any problems, I still secretly help her solve them.
Lin Yue's changes were also gratifying to him. Her submission to him was one thing, but her ability to stand on her own was also true. He hadn't paid much attention to the affairs of Sin City during this period, but both Tang Shuang and Xia Wuyou, who was in charge of coordinating both sides, had high opinions of her.
So that's why.
"You don't have to stay by my side to be useful, right?"
He patted the assassin's little sister's head. "Moreover, a signal relay station will be set up along the route soon, and we'll be able to re-establish contact in no time."
Lin Yue remained silent, but her tears gradually subsided.
"Before that, you will be fully responsible for the affairs of Sin City. Your task is to govern it well."
Xu Shi comforted her again, "If you really encounter a difficult situation, go and discuss it with Su Lin... Just consider this a temporary setback, and don't refuse."
The biggest advantage of leaving Su Lin to look after things is that she has been through almost everything with him, so he can talk to anyone. Moreover, she is quite capable, which makes him even more trustworthy.
"Yes, Lin Yue understands."
Hearing him say that, the assassin girl calmed down. "I will definitely do my best to fulfill the task you entrusted to me."
