Xu Yao said this, but she was still worried.

She went back into the house, got out a box and handed it to Pei Shuo. Pei Shuo opened the box and found a piece of soft armor inside.

He looked at Xu Yao in surprise. This thing was even more delicate and exquisite than anything he had ever seen. It must be very expensive.

Xu Yao: "Birthday present, happy birthday."

Today is his seventeenth birthday.

Pei Shuo was stunned, looking at Xu Yao with surprised and complicated eyes. Even he himself almost forgot that today was his birthday, but his master actually remembered it.

Xu Yao did not shy away from saying, "When I was a maid beside Liu Moyan, she was thinking about you at that time. She had already been planning what kind of birthday gift to give you, and asked me to help her with the plan."

Xu Yao didn't know whether the gift was given away later, but today was Pei Shuo's birthday, so Xu Yao used this as an excuse to give the soft armor away.

Pei Shuo looked at the soft armor, slightly distracted, with a hint of tears in his eyes.

Xu Yao yawned and said that he wanted to go back and rest. He asked him to try it on to see if it fit him well. He said that he must wear this soft armor tomorrow as it could save his life.

Pei Shuo watched her enter the room and close the door. He stared at the door for a long time, unable to describe the feeling in his heart.

Pei Shuo didn't know what to do with the mixed feelings of sorrow, joy, disbelief, and emotion. In the end, his eyes were slightly red. He returned to his room with the gift box and couldn't wait to try it.

Strangely enough, the soft armor felt much lighter than what he had worn before. Not only was it not heavy, but it also fit very closely, like another layer of skin sticking to his body.

Being so close, Pei Shuo knew how much Xu Yao was paying attention to him.

He touched the soft armor and his eyes gradually became firm.

Xu Yao was lying on the bed, sleeping with her eyes closed, but her ears were very sensitive. She heard Pei Shuo go out, but did not follow him.

The child has grown up and has his own ideas and secrets, so she will not participate anymore. She needs to conserve her energy as she will meet Wu Sanlang tomorrow.

Zhao Xi asked her, "Aren't you worried that he might do something behind your back and then stab you in the back?"

Xu Yao was puzzled, "Why do you think so?"

"Maybe you think people's hearts are unpredictable. You treated him as your apprentice, taught him everything you knew, gave him money and taught him kung fu. It's like those women we've seen before who gave everything for love, but lost miserably when the time came. You also said that kind of man is called a Phoenix Man, who selfishly sucked his wife's blood and abandoned her without hesitation."

"Are you worried that I've raised an ungrateful person who appears to be grateful for my kindness but secretly plots something, and might even betray me without hesitation?"

Zhao Xi nodded: "After all, men like my brother-in-law are rare in the world. I have only seen him in my life. No matter whether it is a man or a woman, there is no good ending for being a good person."

Her father, aunt, sister, and brother-in-law were all ordinary people. They were kind and gentle, but they had bad luck.

My aunt met Xu Hu and lost her virginity due to someone's scheme. Giving birth to a daughter was already very painful, but Xu Hu was such a disgusting person that she was afraid to face the fact that she was wrong. For the sake of her wife, she wanted to get rid of my aunt and my sister.

What did my aunt and sister do wrong? The biggest mistake they made was that they had to beg Xu Hu for a bowl of rice in order to survive.

What did her father do wrong? He went through so much trouble to find his missing sister. He didn't want to curry favor with the powerful. He just wanted to take his sister away from trouble and live an ordinary life.

Xu Hulian couldn't tolerate this.

What did my brother-in-law do wrong? It was not his fault that his mother forced him to be born in order to gain wealth and fame.

He was forced to be born, abused since childhood, and forced to become a killer. He just wants to live his own life and stay with his beloved. Is there anything wrong with that?

What's wrong with him wanting to live?

But the bad guys did not let them go. They pursued them relentlessly and eradicated them completely, as if their survival was a sin.

They just want to live, why do they bother others and block their way?

Xu Yao could sense Zhao Xi's heavy mood and couldn't help but raise his hand to press on his chest: "The past is the past. Don't dwell on the sadness of the past. We have to look forward to tomorrow. When the revenge is over, we have to live a good life."

"You haven't answered me yet. Aren't you worried that Pei Shuo will betray you?"

Xu Yao thought about it and laughed: "Life is a gamble. I owe him a favor because he set up a memorial tablet for me, so I want to help him. No one forced me to do this. This is my conscience. I can't be ruthless and ungrateful. I made a bet for my conscience. Whether I win or lose, I am ready to bear it. Since it is my own choice, there is no need to sigh.

If he really betrayed me, I would just have one more enemy. I would never be merciful when I take revenge on him. But if I have a good disciple and he knows how to be grateful, it is a good fate. If I can help someone, then I will help him. After all, who knows if I will be in trouble one day? No one can guarantee that they will always be strong and never have bad luck. "

The kind of life where one does not recognize any relatives, kills everyone, and lives as if one is the only one the world can trust is ridiculous in itself.

She had never seen any system, no space, and was not powerful enough to be omnipotent, so she couldn't help but believe in cause and effect, and couldn't help but make a good connection.

After hearing what she said, Zhao Xi said, "Then I hope you win this bet, and I hope this disciple will not disappoint you."

When he woke up the next day, Pei Shuo had already prepared breakfast. While Xu Yao was eating, he told him a few things.

Pei Shuo looked at the box that Xu Yao took out, feeling somewhat puzzled. When he opened the box, he saw a number of black round objects with a white string on them.

Xu Yao: "This thing is called dynamite, do you know it?"

"Explosives for fireworks?"

Xu Yao nodded. "It's similar to this, but much more terrifying than the explosives in fireworks. I'll leave this box for you. If you're in danger, light the fuse and throw it out. All enemies around it will be killed, but you must remember not to let the explosion kill you."

"Then Master, you..."

"I still have some. I'll go to the palace in a moment. You should act according to the plan. Remember, if you encounter danger, don't fight to the death. Saving your life is the first priority."

Pei Shuo watched her leave. Xu Yao, wearing a veil and carrying a basket, walked out of the yard.

The neighbors just thought she was going to the embroidery shop to sell embroidery, and some people even greeted her along the way.

Xu Yao smiled and nodded, then quickly disappeared into the alley.

Not long after, Pei Shuo also left the house carrying his load. The neighbors thought that the brother and sister were very hardworking, with the sister selling embroidered handkerchiefs and the brother selling rice candy, and they both lived a good life.

It’s a pity that one is mute and the other is disfigured, so their lives must be difficult.

Little did they know that these two would soon stir up a huge storm in Panjing City.
