"What do you think?"

Su Mo spread his hands and smiled, obviously not planning to tell her.

"Humph! Forget it if you don't say it!"

After several unsuccessful inquiries, Xia Mi snorted and turned away.

Seeing that the two of them seemed to have decided on the matter immediately, Zero suddenly spoke.

"I have a question. You don't seem to have asked for my opinion?"

She looked at the two people in front of her expressionlessly.

They said they wanted to teach ancient boxing techniques and so on. They discussed it for a long time and it was all about Xia Mi. Why didn't anyone ask her if she was willing to learn it?

Hearing this, Xia Mi suddenly turned around and his eyes widened.

"You don't want to learn?!"

Fortunately, she thought about it for a long time before she made up her mind to discuss the matter with Su Mo. Unexpectedly, Su Mo agreed, but Ling had a problem instead.

Seeing Xia Mi's stunned expression, Zero moved his eyes away from her, and then said.

"I just don't think it's necessary."

"There are no more rules. What should I do if I encounter the commandments again?"

Xia Mi asked puzzledly.

She didn't have the idea that as long as she wanted to teach, Zero should be grateful for Ling's learning. She was simply worried about Ling.

It's hard to find such a good nanny. If something happens to Ling, wouldn't she be unable to live as a useless person?

"..."

Zero didn't answer, but his refusal attitude remained firm.

"You don't want to owe Xia Mi a favor?"

Su Mo looked at Ling's appearance and asked casually.

"……No."

Zero looked away and shook his head.

Although she is usually well-behaved, she is actually a child who likes to lie occasionally.

"You really don't have a frank character."

Su Mo shook his head.

Being with them these days, although Zero's true character has recovered somewhat, the frozen snowfield in her heart is still there and has not really melted.

Even though Ling's usual expression seems cold, in fact she is not good at accepting or rejecting others, so she needs to use the mask of three nothings to cover her heart.

She is not good at accepting others, so when she was in Japan before, she obviously liked Eri Yi, but if Su Mo hadn't helped to guide her, she wouldn't have been able to take the initiative to accept Eri Yi.

She is not good at rejecting others, which is why she is bullied by Su Mo and Xia Mi. Of course, she has grown a lot now. Although she still cannot deal with Su Mo and Xia Mi, she has gradually developed the will to resist, and occasionally

Taking countermeasures is more than enough to deal with a novice like Su Enxi.

In general, Zero has indeed grown a lot now, but he still has not reached the level where he can frankly accept the kindness of others.

She didn't know how to repay this kindness, so she simply refused.

It's like she doesn't know how to deal with people, so she simply chooses to be indifferent.

In a sense, this is also a kind of cowardice.

Faced with this situation, Su Mo was not in a hurry to correct it, as haste makes waste.

"What if you don't think of it as a gift from Xia Mi, but as an apology for Xia Mi's usual bullying? As compensation, you should be able to accept it with peace of mind, right?"

Su Mo asked in a different way.

"no."

Zero immediately shook his head and glanced at Xia Mi.

"If that's the case, then she will definitely regard this as an exchange of equal value, and then feel that she can do whatever she wants after paying the money."

Now Xia Mi barely knows that she is in the wrong, and occasionally restrains herself a little, but if she paid the compensation, wouldn't she justly think that Zero should be bullied by her?

That would be the end of it!

Hearing this, Su Mo couldn't refute. After hesitating for a moment, he said it a little unconscionably.

"Even Xia Mi can't do something so extreme——"

Before he finished speaking, Miss Xia Mi clapped her hands with bright eyes.

"That's right! Why didn't I think of this? Mother Zero understands me!"

"..."

Su Mo fell silent.

Zero and him looked at each other, their eyes clearly saying four words - "I say yes".

She also got to know Xia Mi better and better.

Well, Xia Mi's path was definitely dead, so after thinking about it, Su Mo said.

"Then let's put it another way. It's not a gift or an apology, but the employer's request."

Hearing this, Ling raised his head, looked at Su Mo, and reacted.

"Since your mission is to protect me, you should become as strong as possible, otherwise you will not be able to play the role of a bodyguard, so you must learn ancient boxing techniques."

Su Mo continued.

These words hit Zero's weakness.

What she fears most is not Xia Mi and Su Mo's bullying, but her own loss of value.

Useless people will be thrown away. She doesn't want to be abandoned, so she must be a useful person.

"If it's a mission, I understand."

Ling nodded and calmly accepted Su Mo's request.

In fact, she didn't know that Su Mo was just asking her to accept Xia Mi's kindness in a roundabout way, but now she could only accept it in this way.

Seeing Zero who had rejected him just now, he changed his mind so quickly.

Xia Mi was not angry, but his eyes lit up.

"Mama Ling, please be my pillow tonight, don't refuse! This is also a mission!"

She immediately followed suit and ordered.

"...You are not my employer."

Ling looked at her like she was an idiot. Of course she wouldn't listen to Xia Mi's orders.

Upon hearing this, Xia Mi immediately looked at Su Mo.

"Su Mo, tell me, let Ling's mother be my pillow!"

She is still very good at changing her thoughts. If she can't order Mother Ling, she can't order you Su Mo?

However, she obviously forgot one thing - she really couldn't order Su Mo.

"I refuse! Why didn't you say you want me to be a pillow?"

Su Mo glanced at the whimsical Xia Mi speechlessly. If he agreed to this, Ling might run away carrying the train overnight.

Upon hearing this, Xia Mi's eyes lit up.

"That's not impossible, it's best to have two together!"

"Have your spring and autumn daydreams!"

Su Mo hit her hard on the head and ended the topic.

·

Due to the reasons mentioned before, Xia Mi and Zero took leave together and began to teach Qi Guquan.

At the same time, Su Mo has been soaking in the basement, studying alchemy, and improving his level of speaking spirit.

Although Norton agreed to his request and agreed to help him find a way to separate the Dragon King's consciousness and authority, Su Mo could not place all his hopes on him.

While improving his alchemy and learning [Spiritual Recasting], Su Mo is also focusing on improving his own exclusive speech spirit, hoping that this speech spirit will be able to play a role after being promoted.

In a blink of an eye, it lasted three days.

Three days later, in the basement.

"Can you actually make something alive in this way? It feels like the strength of the field is indeed much stronger!"

While experimenting with the tips he got from Norton, Su Mo sighed and said this to the soul in the mask.

On the workbench in front of Su Mo, lying quietly was a bronze mask with red lines. It was Constantine's mask.
