"Brother Luo Yu, why do you say that?"
Looking at the serious Luo Yu in front of him, Pan Feng, who was standing in front of his sister, also frowned.
It was a very happy thing for her to go out to celebrate the victory with her sister and junior sister today.
Then, as soon as they returned to the post house after celebrating, they met Luo Yu and these friends around him.
This should also be a happy thing. Miss Xiaofeng has a cheerful personality and has long forgotten what happened on the island. She also wanted to share the joy of victory with Brother Luo Yu. She did a great job. That's the thing.
Who would have thought that the other party was not in the mood to chat, but when he saw them staying with Xu Shi and his group, his expression changed instantly. Not only were his words thorny, but he also felt like he wanted to take them away by force.
"...I mean, since you two came to the main city, why didn't you say anything to me?"
Facing Pan Feng's question, Luo Yu paused for a moment, then pretended to be calm and said, "It's troublesome... Brother Xu is not good either. He has important things to do here. Don't cause trouble to him. Come with me." Holy See, it’s more convenient for me to take care of you.”
His face was not pretty, gloomy, and even looked a bit dark under the forced suppression of emotions.
He can only be in a good mood.
After being exhausted on Silver Pine Island, he had to go back to the ship to work on the bronze matters. In the end, he left early in despair, not even having the nerve to say hello.
This is not the first time that he has returned to his hometown after going out to explore, but when has he not been cheered by everyone in the past? Whoever sees him must not say a word, this is the pride of our Silver Pine Island?
This time it turned out like this - to put it mildly, he looked as gray and disgraced as a dog!
Even Uncle Pan, who had always treated him like a family member, wasn't much better. The few times he came to see him afterwards, he always acted as a peacemaker, trying to mediate the conflict between him and Xu Shi... but showed little concern for him. Very loud, and always gave him the feeling of his elbows turning outward when he spoke.
He is just an outsider, is it worth your trouble? And she protects him everywhere...
If this was all he wanted to do, after returning to the main city, he still had to deal with the follow-up matters - there were countless times of overt and insidious ridicule among his colleagues these days, and many people took the opportunity to make trouble. Questions were raised about his abilities as a newly minted Silver Knight.
The principle is this. In name, the four bronzes are accompanying you as attendants and guards, but they do not really allow you to be protected by them.
Not to mention that everyone knows that Yinsong Island is your hometown of Luo Yu. It is a big joke to go back to your hometown to visit relatives and cause such trouble.
Just dealing with these things made him exhausted. In addition, there was also the matter of "Poseidon" to deal with. In just a few days, he looked quite haggard.
I finally had some free time today, so I went out to relax with my good colleagues in the Holy See. As luck would have it, on the way back, I saw the two sisters Feng and Ling with Xu Shi's daughter, talking and laughing happily.
The originally warm and harmonious scene was like a powder keg in his eyes, causing him to explode in an instant. He even rarely lost his mind. What he said just now was quite unpleasant.
I'm in a hurry, my defense has been broken.
How can you hang out with Xu Shi?
Anyway, in Luo Yu's opinion, being with Xu Shi's daughter means hanging out with Xu Shi, which at least proves that they came together, right? The relationship seems to be very good...
"What do you mean?"
Without waiting for sisters Feng and Ling to answer, Xia Keyan became a little unhappy, "What you said makes it sound like my father can't take care of them? If you really had this intention, why didn't you take the junior sisters with you when you left? ?”
"...They never told me they were coming back too."
Luo Yu was at a loss for words. He was silent for a long time before replying in a low voice, "But since they are here, as their elder brother, I should take care of them. Please, little sister, please go back and say thank you to your father." He has been taking care of Xiaofeng and Xiaoling these days."
"Xiao Ke'an can't make the decision."
The old aunt refused flatly, with a bit of sarcasm in her words, "If you have the ability, go to my dad and tell him, why are you trying to be a hero while he's not around?"
"..."
Luo Yu was startled and thought to himself that this was indeed Xu Shi's daughter. Her sharp-tongued and sharp-tongued skills were not much worse than his. Her words sounded serious, but in fact they were all yin and yang.
"...Okay, I will ask him specifically to explain the situation later."
However, he was too lazy to argue with Xia Keyan, so he leaned over directly as he spoke, with the intention of grabbing the person directly!
It's a pity that he missed it - almost in the blink of an eye, Shen Qin, who was standing by, took action. The short knife in his hand flashed with cold light, and with a buzz that rent the air, it pointed directly at Luo Yu.
Luo Yu was shocked, he didn't expect her to be so fast!
However, his reaction was not slow. He unsheathed his sword subconsciously, and the pattern on the back of his hand burst out with light, blocking her attack.
The long sword and short sword collided in one place, instantly setting off a powerful wave of air.
In an instant, the glass of the post house was shattered by a crash - this was the result of the two people still having reason and restraint, otherwise many innocent people would be implicated in the aftershocks alone.
But this is enough to make people breathtaking, especially the two sisters Feng and Ling, who are even more stunned.
Before Shen Qin appeared just now, they didn't even know that Xu Shi had sent someone to protect their safety secretly, and they didn't know that Sister Shen was actually a great master.
Mainly, they had not had much contact with Shen Qin before... When she was on Yinsong Island, she was often in a daze and disconnected, and she basically kept to herself and didn't like to communicate with others, giving people the impression that she was not reliable. Pan Feng once complained to his sister in private that he thought she was stupid.
If anything, it was another sister, Yu Xingchuan, who left a deeper impression on them. The scene of those bronze knights in a pair of four seconds at that time is still vivid in the minds of the two sisters now that they think about it.
I never thought that this person was even more of a heavyweight.
"what you up to?"
Shen Qin didn't know what they were thinking, she just looked at Luo Yu and said coldly.
"Bring your sister home."
Luo Yu gritted his teeth and said.
"It's a good idea to bring my sister home."
When a few people were in a stalemate, Xu Shi's voice came from far away and he pretended to clap his hands as he walked away. It really sounded like a compliment.
"It's just that it's late at night now. You pick this time to bring your sister home. It's very suspicious of An's thoughts."
"dad!"
Seeing him coming back, Xia Keyan hurriedly pulled the two sisters and ran behind him, crying aggrievedly, "This man is so cruel. He wanted to bully us just now. I was so scared, ugh..."
Even so, her eyes were full of provocation, and she even secretly made a face at Luo Yu. Hey, he's back. Say it, say it.
It has to be said that the white-haired lolita's provocation made Luo Yu a little nervous.
But it’s okay if you don’t say it. It was still hot when you first released it. If you don’t say it now, wouldn’t you be slapping yourself in the face?
"...Xu Shi, don't speak too harshly."
So he just adjusted his breath, and then said in a cold voice, "Xiao Feng and Xiao Ling are my sisters. What's wrong with me taking care of them? You bring them to the main city with you, which makes people even more suspicious."
"You hide your dirty thoughts and still want others to say nice things?"
Xu Shi patted his good daughter on the back, then looked at him with a sneer, "The mighty Silver Knight of the Templar came here to rob a common girl in the middle of the night. You are such a good brother."
He didn't have a good impression of Luo Yu to begin with. He was chatting with Xia Wuyou in the carriage just now... Who would have thought that this guy would come to the door all by himself? Should I say it was without mentioning it?
That being the case, he would also not give the other party any face - it was only because of Pan Cheng on Yinsong Island, but not here.
"you!"
Hearing what he said, Luo Yu was so angry that he went crazy, but he didn't know what words to refute.
Because he knew very well that this was a fact.
Although he never mentioned it to others, he actually enjoyed the feeling of being embraced by his family every time he returned to his hometown.
After all, he has just turned eighteen and has already risen to great heights, achieving achievements that others may not be able to achieve in their lifetime... Many people in Yinsong Island have never even left the island in their lives, and the distance in life can be easily measured with just two feet.
Everyone said that he was the pride of Silver Pine Island, and he himself... was indeed very proud.
It was the same when facing the two sisters Feng and Ling. Every time he went back to his hometown and saw them running around him, curiously asking about things outside, or asking him for advice on this or that, he would feel something in his heart. A great feeling of satisfaction.
Pan Cheng didn't care, he always said to let them grow up a little before they could see the world with you, and this was actually what he wanted.
In his heart, he had already regarded the two sisters as his forbidden pets. Anyway, it would be a matter of time. It didn't matter if it was later?
But it’s definitely not like this! The long-awaited thing was picked by someone else? Especially the people I hate!
Anyway, he didn't know why, but since the first time he met Xu Shi, he had an inexplicable dislike for this person.
After being disrespected by him on Silver Pine Island, this emotion became more and more out of control, and would even disturb his thoughts from time to time.
"Hey, are you in a hurry?"
Seeing him trying his best not to have an attack, the joking on Xu Shi's face deepened, "By the way, the reason why I brought Xiaoling and Xiaofeng here is because of Brother Pan's request. I hope I can take care of them."
"The two of them even worshiped me and my wife as their teachers... The innocence between us is so pure and pure that we are much nobler than some people."
!
what did he say?
Xiaofeng Xiaoling...became this guy's disciple?
What kind of statement is this?
Doesn't this mean in disguise that Pan Cheng has entrusted the two sisters to Xu Shi instead of himself?
impossible!
"You are lying!"
He subconsciously didn't believe this was true. What was so good about this man? Why did Pan Cheng change his mind in just a few days? !
"Okay, just think I'm lying."
Xu Shi sighed helplessly, "It doesn't matter what you think, but under the training of my wife, Xiaofeng has been able to defeat the royal knights of your empire... I can't fake this kind of thing, I think You should know this too?"
"So? What do you want to explain?"
Luo Yu clenched his teeth. To be honest, he was already in a mess. His hands began to tremble slightly, and the patterns on the back of his hands shimmered again.
No matter what the situation was, in his heart, he probably already had a way to die!
oh? Want to take action?
This little gesture couldn't escape Xu Shi's eyes, and he watched his clown performance quietly, wondering if he should just take the opportunity to get rid of him.
As the saying goes, a dead protagonist is a good protagonist. Since it is difficult to control, it is better to get rid of it... Obviously the influence will not be good, so I can always defend myself legitimately, right?
It just so happens that there is no reason to worry.
However.
Just at this tense moment, a hand suddenly placed on Luo Yu's shoulder.
"Luo Yu."
It was the colleague who was with him. He had a handsome face and was wearing thin silver armor.
This makes his identity easy to recognize, and he must be another Silver Knight in the Holy See.
"what you up to?"
Shota asked with a light face, "Fighting in the street is not enough? Do you want to kill foreign envoys now?"
"I……"
After what he said, Luo Yu calmed down a little and opened his mouth not knowing how to answer.
"I'm so sorry, Messenger Xu."
Zhengtai nodded slightly and looked at Xu Shishi with a smile, "This child has been under a lot of pressure recently. He is so angry that he will act stupidly from time to time. He was too impulsive just now. I apologize to you on his behalf."
"If you are under great pressure, do you want to rape a girl? If you are under great pressure, do you want to do it in the street?"
Xu Shi refused to accept this trick, "If I remember correctly, there is no such dogma in your knight's commandments... It's true that seeing it is worse than hearing it a hundred times."
"That's what you taught me."
Zhengtai sighed, and then stared at Luo Yu seriously, "I think you need to wake up and go back to the confession room to receive the whip."
"yes."
His tone was light, but it was clear that Luo Yu didn't dare to refute at all.
"I wonder if you are satisfied with this?"
Mr. Shota added with a face, "If you are not at ease, you can come to the Holy See and personally execute the sentence."
"...It's not necessary."
Xu Shi thought for a moment and shook his head. What's the point of watching a man being whipped? If you're a girl, you can consider it... Besides, it's really unnecessary. If someone wants to default on their debt, there are a hundred ways to fool them in front of you. Don't waste your good life on this kind of thing.
"In Baiyan, Lower Continent, the Silver Templar Knights are ranked fourth."
Mr. Zhengtai said with a smile, "You can be regarded as Xiao Luoyu's senior... It's a pleasure to meet you."
So you are a senior? Xu Shi's eyes twitched, good guy, this young lady looks very young in face and not very tall. If I didn't tell you, I would have thought you were my younger brother.
"Xu Shi."
But it's okay to say this in your mind, it's not polite to say it out loud.
"I've heard about the name for a long time."
Lu Baiyan smiled and saluted him, "In the past few days before you came, the Holy See has been spreading rumors about you. I have also heard about your affairs in the royal family before. You are really a big shot."
"It's just that I really didn't expect that the person who killed the Royal Knight was just a little girl... Xiao Luoyu, your sister is not weak. I have never heard of you introducing her before."
This is not a lie. Although the imperial royal family said they don't care about Fan Shigui's matter, it will not sound good if it is spread out, so they will definitely not publicize it. Naturally, they will strictly guard against groups with abnormal breech positions such as the Templar Knights.
The fact is that Dongfang Xiao blocked all information immediately, at least the unfavorable information, that is, the Vatican was watching them every day, so no important information was missed... Of course, it didn't look complete.
"Hahaha."
What else could Luo Yu say? He could only chime in with a dry smile.
"Knight Lu seems to be a bit more supportive than a kisser."
If you don’t hit someone with a smiling face, you may smile back.
"The third commandment of chivalry is to keep everything fair and just."
Lu Baiyan said lightly, "Including what happened between you and Xiao Luoyu... In short, the Holy See still looks forward to your visit and welcomes your arrival."
"I'll go when I have time."
Xu Shi said perfunctorily.
"Then I'll be waiting."
Lu Baiyan laughed and looked to the side, "Brother Chen, you don't have any objections, right?"
"The envoy is allowed to go wherever he wants, how can I interfere?"
As he spoke, a figure emerged from the black shadow not far away and replied expressionlessly.
"...Brother Cheng sent you to follow me?"
Xu Shi raised his eyebrows and asked pretending to be surprised - he had seen this person before. He was the one who led him to Cheng Gujian's house to discuss matters, but he didn't know his name.
However, he had long sensed that Cheng Gujian had sent people to secretly monitor his movements... People with high mental power were not easy to gain. Besides, even if he didn't use mental power, Cheng Gujian's human nature would probably know that he would probably do this. He also encouraged himself to be cannon fodder for him.
Therefore, many of his previous words had already taken this point into consideration. Whether he said he could accept it or not giving the Templars a good face, these were all small details. We were of the same mind.
Of course, if there is something that you really don't want him to know, Xu Shi has a hundred ways to do it.
"Mr. Xu was joking. It's just that you left in a hurry just now and Grand Duke Gu Jian didn't catch up, so he asked me to send you some things."
The middle-aged man surnamed Chen shook his head and handed him a baggage.
When he opened it and took a look, it was really well prepared. They were all the things Xu Shi mentioned when he was discussing the terms with Cheng Gujian... some samples of animals and plants, including some "divine breath" technology props, obviously just to smooth things over for him. .
"Brother Cheng is really thoughtful."
Xu Shi smiled and took it unceremoniously, "Butler Chen, please thank him for me. Is it okay to call you this?"
"no problem."
Butler Chen squeezed the corner of his mouth and forced a smile, "Mr. Xu, you are also a caring person, so the Grand Duke favors you... On the contrary, some people have only had enough food from the royal family for a few days. I don’t know whose greedy person lured me away again.”
"Brother Chen seems to be scolding me."
Lu Baiyan blinked and looked at him innocently.
"It's you who's scolding me."
Butler Chen did not shy away from it, "You, Lu Baiyan, were affiliated with the Royal Court Knights three years ago, but now you are very friendly to the Holy See. Don't forget that your knight's emblem is hand-signed by Her Majesty the Queen."
"Everyone has his or her own ambitions."
Lu Baiyan was not angry, and still smiled, "The Templars are neutral, but they have been running to the Holy See recently and have not changed their tune for a while."
"Then it seems that our little brother Luo Yu is also the same?"
Xu Shi interrupted with interest. He hadn't had time to carefully study the relationship between these large and small organizations. It sounds like Luo Yu was also a knight of the royal court before? There is something.
Based on this alone, it is not easy for the young man to pinch it.
"It's really not."
Unexpectedly, Butler Chen just shook his head, "The situation of this Knight Luo is a little different from others... He was among the best in the knight selection test at that time, and he was directly canonized by Her Majesty the Queen and the Saint of the Vatican."
Is that so?
The little empress and some kind of saint were consecrated together. Listening to Butler Chen's tone, you knew that such a thing was quite rare.
But for the protagonist Luo Yu, it seems to be a lot more logical.
Especially a garbage protagonist like him who is a brainless and cool writer.
emmm...I'm in really average condition lately, I have a headache.
