Xie Yi was stunned unexpectedly, and then he showed some enthusiasm, looking at Shaogong with bright eyes, and was about to ask in detail, but Wen Shaogong said, "You ask these, what are you going to do?"

"Uh..." Xie Yi paused again, the light in his pupils dimmed a bit, and the smile on his lips was tinged with helplessness, "Disciple, I admire the high character of Master, so I want to get closer, It's good to share the worries for the master, but no matter how hard the disciples try, they don't see the master's expression moved in the slightest, so they want to know what the master likes, starting from this may be..."

Shao Gong waited for him to finish without saying a word, then withdrew his calm gaze, drooping his eyes and pondering.

A few days ago, when he visited Shen Xi with Shen Ye, he found that Shen Xi was playing with a lifelike Yanjia rabbit. He lived in Liuyue City for a long time and was used to seeing Yanjia toys. Xi can only be so happy when she sees Shaogong's illusionary, golden bird that can sing.

That Yanjia rabbit is really good, it can jump and move, and it will bite Shen Xi's hand when it is teased anxiously. Children always like new things, Shen Xi is full of energy, Shen Ye is happy to see it, he sees Looking at the scene full of vitality in front of him, he looked proud, "That was done by Xie Yi, but in a few months, Yanshu can reach this state all the way, it's really good."

Seeing all this in his eyes, Ouyang Shaogong subtly raised his lips, "Oh? I usually see Aye treat him coldly, but I praise him for not wanting the sincerity in his heart."

"His temperament is too clear, he will do his best for what he likes, and he will dismiss what he dislikes." Shen Ye paused, "Focus on hagana and ignore cultivation skills. It is absolutely not advisable to favor one over another. If it is more severe and frightens him, he can still take it seriously, that's fine."

"Since that's the case, aren't you afraid that Ah Ye will be dismissive if he puts on a bad face?"

"Let him go," Shen Ye said indifferently, "What I fancy is that he can think about the people and preserve the goodness of his nature. I don't want his innocence to be more than that. He had a smooth life before, so he got this He is upright and upright, but the world is treacherous, so he is not allowed to act according to his whims, so he must bear some pressure properly, learn to judge the situation, and protect himself-if he can't bear it, then in such a big Liuyue City, he will find another master "He said at this point, he suddenly raised his eyes to look at Shao Gong, and his expression became much softer, "Not to mention that I have Master protecting me, and I have a hundred years to select outstanding successors."

Shaogong smiled slightly, "However, the look on your face just now doesn't mean you don't care about him."

"When I first accepted him, I really thought so," Shen Ye sighed softly, "However, since he got into trouble a few months ago, his attitude towards learning has changed a little."

——Recalling up to this point, Ouyang Shaogong narrowed his eyes meaningfully.

Judging from Xie Yi's speech at this time, the change in Xie Yi's attitude satisfied Shen Ye, but he still had no intention of softening his attitude towards him, so he asked Xie Yi, "You said 'work hard', how did you work hard?"

The young man in front of him froze, and then rolled his eyes slyly, "Well, I praised Master for being handsome, but Master just gave me a cold look and didn't say a word. I think the praise is not strong enough, So I continued to praise Master for being handsome, Master knows a lot, and the Yanjia that Master made is really good. This time, Master frowned impatiently and told me to stop gossiping when giving and receiving, so it will be fine after school. , but no matter what I say, Master ignores me." Mingming's voice sank suddenly, Xie Yi lowered his head, showing some grievances at a loss, "Later, to make amends, I carved Master's portrait, I made a Yanjia rabbit and wanted to make Master happy, but Master didn't look at the wood carving, but finally accepted the Yanjia rabbit!"

The boy in Xie Yi excitedly thought that the big plan had come true, but when we met again the next day, Shen Ye was still expressionless and motionless, just like a stone in a latrine, smelly and hard.

Even Ouyang Shaogong couldn't help but raised his wide sleeves to hide the smile on his lips, "Why do you want to praise him like that?"

"Because Xiao Ming next door to my house, if people praised 'Xiao Ming is so handsome', 'Xiao Ming knows so much', 'Xiao Ming's handwriting is really good', he would laugh out loud," Xie Yi said. Awakened by laughter, "It must be very happy to be able to laugh out such an abnormally loud noise."

Shaogong coughed lightly, with a subtle look on his face, "So, if you receive the same praise, how would you feel?"

"Not annoying, but never laughing like that."

"What you feel is different from Xiao Ming, so why do you compare it to your master?"

Xie Yi hesitated for a moment and was at a loss for words, Shaogong continued, "Everyone has his own personality. What you love does not mean that others also love it. It is because of the variety of personalities that it is difficult to unify opinions. , then there is the theory of obeying the majority.”

"Obey the majority?" As if hearing something unbelievable, Xie Yi frowned fiercely, the previous ease was gone, "Does that mean admitting that what I love is just a joke?"

The sharp, almost questioning tone made Ouyang Shaogong startled, and he expressed his emotion unintentionally, but it would attract such a fierce reaction, his expression became colder, and he shook his head disapprovingly, "If someone has the strength Far better than you, in order to make you surrender and make you kneel, if you are not convinced, but you still kneel to protect yourself, is it considered surrender?"

"..."

Xie Yi remained silent, pursing his lips tightly, as if he was thinking carefully. For a moment, in the quiet dusk, in Shaogong's elegant and gentle voice, the undercurrent of determination became clearer, "The world is by no means so clear. Although I kneel down, I will never give in in my heart, and one day, I will definitely express this dissatisfaction completely—compromising in consideration of the situation is definitely not a violation of the belief that I hold on to, and in some cases, it is even more to persist in the belief in a proper way go down."

With such a long speech, Shao Gong thought that he had made it clear enough, but Xie Yi still looked incomprehensibly confused, "In any case, the belief that has been compromised and persisted will be stained, no matter how good the purpose is," he suddenly After a pause, I sorted out my thoughts for a while, "There is no flaw in a perfect jade. Even if I die, I will never live for a while and deny what I stick to."

Xie Yi's voice was humble, neither high nor low, but arrogant as if looking down from a height, Shao Gong's eyes darkened, and he asked again, "So, what if the person who wants you to kneel down threatens your life? If you kneel, you can all survive, if you don’t kneel, he will die, and you will live?”

This time, Xie Yi replied quickly, "I will kneel down."

The unexpected simplicity made Shaogong suspect for a moment that what he had heard was wrong, and he repeated it as if confirming, "For the sake of life, choose to give up your belief?"

"No matter how precise the armor is, it can be rebuilt after being destroyed; and life, even insects and ants, can only live once-it cannot be copied, and it will never be repeated."

Shaogong heaved a sigh of relief when he heard the words, it turned out that his question just touched on that belief, so it was quite inappropriate, "Then, someone threatened the life of your closest relative and asked you to kill another person who is neither relative nor relative. .”

Seeing Xie Yi suddenly startled heavily, he remained silent for a long time, showing a little flustered, unable to answer at all.

One life for another, he has hesitated for so long and it is difficult to make a choice. If after weighing, the matter of faith is greater than the life of his loved ones, he will be willing to abandon his loved ones.Only now did Ouyang Shaogong fully understand what Shen Ye was worried about. A martyr who disdains checks and balances would never be able to secure the position of high priest. It is too easy to cheat him into death, but as long as he learns to An extremely simple temporary compromise and everything will be different.

Thinking about Shen Ye, Shao Gongfang realized that he was unwilling to talk so much nonsense with Xie Yi for a while, and seeing that he was still struggling, he comforted him, "Don't worry too much, I didn't intend to convince anyone, you can stick to your own opinion .”

Xie Yi is eleven years old, young and vigorous, proud and unyielding. However, nothing in this world will not be changed by time. The "temporary compromise" is described as "extremely simple", precisely because of the setbacks, He will understand this by himself. It is not like Shao Gong didn't think about it before, Shen Ye's oppressive way to make Xie Yi learn is different from the father he hates, but now he suddenly understands that Shen Ye's request is really not high.

"Let's get down to business," Shao Gong said, "Your master, he has indeed been bored and serious since he was a child."

"..." This is the young man in Xie Yi who almost disregarded etiquette and complained about his master.

"But that's just the appearance. For example, when you praise him for being handsome, depending on his temperament, you may feel that the sky is thundering." Ten thousand armored alpacas whizzed past in his heart, and his inner thoughts were similar to "Natural curls are still rolling." Smelly and hard, how can you be handsome? Are you blind? And why do you say that he is handsome so suddenly?!" Shao Gong paused, then continued to tactfully say, "Emotions are turbulent, but you have to struggle to maintain your appearance, no Do you find this very interesting?"

"..." This is Xie Yi, who was ignorantly aware of something so dark and almost dumbfounded.

"A Ye's hair is naturally curly, and it is difficult to comb it when it is a little longer, so it often looks messy. When he was young, he once took Shen Xi outside the temple and was laughed at for not combing his hair. Since then, he has been doing it every day. Waking up an hour earlier is bound to comb your hair neatly."

The trend of the topic seemed to be normal at last, Xie Yi murmured and responded: "Master Zu means that Master is a little... er, good face?"

"That's not all." Ouyang Shaogong denied, "In order to achieve his goals, he often forces himself to do things he doesn't like. Another example, when he reads classics, he only likes old-fashioned things about magic skills, academic philosophy, etc. But in order to tell stories to Shen Xi, he forced himself to read some engraved books that recorded legends and monsters."

Later, after Shen Xi survived from the Jumu, Shen Ye became more and more busy, but he didn't need to know more about those trivial things, because Shen Xi's three-day cycle of memory couldn't even hear a story about the Wushan Goddess. He didn't intend to take the opportunity to fool Shen Xi, but he was too busy to take care of sneaking fish, and he had no choice but to cut corners, so Shen Ye repeated this story many times.

"That's right, don't do your ridiculous molesting anymore," Shao Gong concluded, "If you want to get close to him, just study hard and learn the knowledge he wants you to learn. After a long time, he will let go of his guard. "
