On Friday night, that is, two days ago, Li Meng invited a few acquaintances to the Qingqiu Mansion to help the little maid named Su Ya collect and sort out the pumpkins.

Because he was worried that his peers would find out about his relationship with Su Shijun, the weak-hearted public scholarship student tried to escape from his work that day with his 'eye disease', so he flew a paper crane for Professor Yao, pretending that his eyes were uncomfortable.

It's just that Lao Yao was not in school at the time, which led to the final failure of his plan.

Fortunately, in the end, the young wizard finally took the opportunity of Lao Yao's reply to leave the classroom early, and then with the help of a transformation potion, he finally escaped.

Now, Professor Yao stood in front of him, and the old story was brought up again, which couldn't help but make the wizard feel a little weak.

"Oh, oh, that day... It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. It was sand in my eyes that day, and I was overreacting a little. Zheng Qing blinked, and the lie came to Zhangkou, trying to fool him around: "Later, I washed my eyes with eye drops, and then it was fine." ”

Well reasoned and smooth. The only mistake was that he seemed to have forgotten that there was a great wizard standing in front of him.

And he is a senior wizard who has deep attainments in many disciplines such as charms, divination, and healing.

Although Professor Yao does not casually use magic such as mind reading or soul retrieval on his students, it does not mean that the old professor does not see the emptiness of the young public-funded students.

Lying in front of Lao Yao is really not a smart move.

The professor grabbed the quill in one hand and pressed the other to the desk between the papers, staring at the young scholarship student, his brow gradually furrowed.

The young wizard who looked straight at him was restless, and his heart was furious, and the professor said slowly:

"I never remember teaching you to tell you nonsense...... When you come to the First University, you will learn all kinds of magic skills, how to behave in the world, and how not to lose yourself in the pursuit of truth. ”

"Instead of learning how to tell nonsense. ”

"Remember what I said at the beginning of the school year? After a long time in contact with magic, you will find that the loss of the heart is the most terrible thing in the world. If you lose yourself, what is left of you?"

"It's like walking down a deserted path with muddy swamps on either side. You can't go wrong with this narrow and winding path, but if you want to save yourself a few steps and take a shortcut on muddy ground, you'll inevitably get mud on your shoes...... In severe cases, they may also fall into puddles or be swallowed up by swamps. ”

"There are gains and losses in one thought, and there is great terror in the choice. ”

"You stand here, don't go back, think clearly before you speak. ”

After that, he didn't pay attention to Zheng Qing anymore, and let him stand by stupidly in a daze. Then Lao Yao directly eliminated the shielding barrier, beckoned a few students who were standing outside, waiting to consult the exam questions, and began to answer various key points and difficulties to them with a pleasant face.

The witches sitting in the front row glanced at Zheng Qing curiously, Li Meng was even in the mood to make a face at him, and several companions sitting in the corner of the back row just glanced up at the wizard who was still standing at the lectern, and saw that he hadn't come back yet, so they lowered their heads and whispered something again.

No one realized that Zheng Qing was punished.

He looked more like he was standing next to the professor and listening to the troubleshooting.

The young public-funded student stood there, his face pale and red, and his mood was like a spilled sauce, sweet, sour, bitter, spicy and salty, with all five flavors.

It was only then that he suddenly realized that he had begun to get used to telling nonsense at some point.

From childhood to adulthood, whether it is his family or Mr. Wu, Zheng Qing has been taught to be honest and down-to-earth. Because the scope of activities at that time was limited and he lived under their noses every day, Zheng Qing had always been well-behaved and well-behaved.

But when he went overseas alone and entered a strange wizarding university, his suddenly relaxed living environment and the mentality of wanting to escape or curry favor when he encountered problems made him unconsciously get a little habit of lying.

To friends, teachers, classmates, and even cats, mice, and parrots, Zheng Qing seems to have said nonsense to them to varying degrees. Some of them are deliberate, trying to use nonsense to take shortcuts to achieve their goals, some are limited by the pact of silence and he cannot tell the truth, and there are also many things that he does unintentionally and unknowingly does stupid things.

It's scary.

Sentences such as "Don't take evil as a small thing", "The embankment of a thousand miles collapses in an anthill", "The tree that hugs is born in the end of a millimeter" and so on swirls in his mind, and it is mixed with the horror of Lao Yao's once said about 'lost heart', which makes him more and more uneasy.

It didn't take too long for Lao Yao to give a lecture to others, but for Zheng Qing, this short time was extremely painful, even more difficult for him than the time of a whole regular meeting tonight.

When the professor turned his head and looked at the young public-funded student again, Zheng Qing had already made plans and confessed everything to Lao Yao.

But the professor waved his hand and stopped him.

"You still don't understand," he looked at the wizard solemnly and shook his head, "I didn't force you to confess the secrets you didn't want to say, or shouldn't tell, it's unreasonable and unrealistic. ”

"Is it true that in this world there is nothing but black and white, and that nothing but the truth is a lie? Not allowing you to tell a lie does not mean that you must tell the truth whenever and wherever you are. It's not magical. ”

"You're not a kid anymore. What should be done and what should not be done, you should know in your heart. ”

Zheng Qing originally thought that he already knew it in his heart, but now after listening to Lao Yao's words, he was a little confused - did this make him tell some lies, or tell some truth, or use some magical means?

"So, do I mean, or don't I say?" he hesitated, trying to ask, "Is it okay not to say it?"

"If you're not going to tell me the truth, how should you answer me when I ask you that original question?" the professor didn't give him an affirmative answer, but continued to ask rhetorically.

Zheng Qing thought for a few seconds.

"I'm sorry, sir, I don't know about that. He looked at Lao Yao sincerely.

Lao Yao nodded with satisfaction, and his face finally became a little kinder:

"Avoidance is not the way to go, but after all, it is much better than talking nonsense...... Now you are like stepping on a sheep's gut path with one foot in the air and passing through the swamp with one foot in the air. Where you plan to settle down determines how strong the road is under your feet. ”

"Then I'll ask again. ”

"On Friday, you told me that my eyes were uncomfortable, how is it now?"

"That's been taken care of, Professor. The young student replied honestly.
