Chapter 53: Becoming Superior than Excellent
The quiet space is immersed in soft words, like the wind of early spring, blowing hot and itchy.
Jealousy, envy, sourness, no one can tell whether they are revealing one of the above emotions at the moment, or a mixture of all of them.
"It's ......"
Looking at the two of them and listening to their conversation, Lily felt her heart melt.
Although she didn't know what the relationship between these two was now, she felt that when a girl was willing to let go of her coldness and disdain, staring at you with big eyes and telling you "I miss you so much", the boy standing across from her must be someone she cared about very much.
"That's nice."
A few delicious flushes appeared on her face, and Lily stared intently at the end, trying to nibble on the melon, but suddenly she remembered why she hadn't left yet.
Cautiously turned his head and looked at his young lady.
Xue Lan's expression didn't seem to change much.
When she is away, the most common gesture she shows is not smiling, and her face is full of seriousness and indifference.
This is still the case.
But vaguely, Lily caught a glimpse of something different from those cyan eyes.
What the specific emotion was, Lily didn't know.
The look was so complicated that it was difficult to distinguish clearly.
However, she can also see that it should not contain negative emotions such as resentment, but more like dissatisfaction with herself or helplessness about something.
As if realizing that she was being spied on, Xue Lan suddenly spoke.
"Lily, I seem to have lost my eyes."
Her voice was unusually calm, with no emotion in it, as calm as watching the name of a dish for dinner today.
This surprised Lily slightly.
It stands to reason that when you realize that you are wrong, emotions such as frustration and regret should flow out of your thoughts.
But Xuelan's expression .......
"Actually, there is still a little." Xue Lan raised her hand to help the little maid comb the broken hair hanging in front of her eyes.
Lily's mind is like a hazy layer of window paper, and if you focus your gaze a little, you can see the whole picture.
In Lily's increasingly dazed eyes, Xue Lan withdrew her hand and chuckled.
"As long as you are human, you will feel regret that what was originally in your hands was lost because of carelessness."
"Especially, when everyone is coveting her preciousness."
She looked up.
Because Grey's actions aroused the curiosity of the people around her, everyone subconsciously wanted to know what the origin of the young man standing on the teleportation array was.
At this time, the students who had just come out of the "Lost Land" told them everything that happened in the secret realm, and they looked like they were proud of the unfortunate thing.
Amazing, shocking, incredible, unbelievable.
These emotions alternated in the students' eyes, and when they looked at the boy again, his eyes were reflected like the brightest star in the sky.
This emotion reached its peak after I don't know which student said something like "I heard that the "Grand Duke" was also defeated by a good-looking boy", and almost everyone realized that it seemed that another legend was about to be born in this academy that was a legend in itself.
"But what's the use of being upset?" Xue Lan whispered, "The best opportunity has been missed, and missing it is both a mistake and a mistake." ”
"After that, there's no going back."
Lily blinked and whispered, "Why, miss, he must still respect you very much, and maybe you will receive a letter from him when you go back today." ”
"As long as you're willing to take the initiative, he should still be able to ......"
"Lily." Xue Lan interrupted her by calling the girl's name, and then asked a question that seemed a little inexplicable, "Do you know what a nobleman is?" ”
Lily was stunned by her question.
What is Aristocrat?
Of course, there are people who are rich, powerful, and have everything.
"That's true, but." Xue Lan said, "At the beginning of the birth of human beings, there was no such thing. ”
"The so-called aristocracy is actually a word that was born after the gradual rise of various human forces, and the group it originally described was knights, strategists, and all kinds of heroes who made contributions to the lords."
"They all did things that ordinary people couldn't, and then they were given fiefdoms, titles, and glory, and then people called such people "nobles."
"Essentially, 'aristocracy' is used to describe 'the better of the human race.'"
"Because they are good enough, they can get power, money, and everything that ordinary people can't get, and then use these things that ordinary people can't get to train the next generation to be people who are still capable - this is the "aristocratic family"."
Lily looked at the pride on the corner of the girl's lips in a daze, and listened to her.
"My family, Joselo, is such an excellent family, and the abilities of each generation of heirs are not necessarily heroes, but they are definitely the top among their peers."
"Each of us adheres to the belief that 'we deserve to be excellent', flaunts ourselves with requirements that ordinary people can't do, and aspires to carry on the family tradition and grow into the most sophisticated and excellent people - this is why we are so "noble" that when other families marry the daughters of the Joselo family, they do not say that it is a 'marriage', but an honor, an honor that is recognized by better people."
"It is not by suppressing others to set off ourselves to stand at a higher point, nor by relying on others to stand on a higher point, but to use our own ability to let others know that we are the best of all people, and it is natural to recognize that we should become "noble people".
"So." Xue Lan said seriously, "Bow your head and admit that you are too bad, and then slowly find what you lost and fill the gap, it is not our way to make up for our mistakes, the real solution is to rely on your excellent ability to turn the situation around." ”
"Now I want to solve the problem of 'Miss Joselo really has a bad eyesight and actually missees such a powerful person', then use the words 'It turns out that Miss Joselo is also very powerful or even a little better than him' to break it, instead of weaving words like 'he is actually average' with lies, or 'just kill him in anger to save face'."
"Instead of taking the initiative to bow down to others, to become a better excellence than the excellent, this is my solution at this moment."
Listening to Xue Lan's calm and serious narration, Lily seemed to have really changed her perception of "aristocracy".
To be honest, in her eyes before, the impression left on her by the nobles was really not very good, especially the descendants of the nobles in some high-end places, who had no other ability than to rely on the Yu Yin of their ancestors, and she who threw away her name was a pure waste.
But when Xue Lan's theory appeared, she realized why Joselo was the only one of the largest nobles in the kingdom who survived to this day.
When you are the answer, there really is no difficulty that can defeat them.
It's just that......
"Miss." Lily asked in a whisper, "It seems a bit difficult, after all, ......."
He's done amazing things, and he's done two things at once.
"It's hard, though."
Xue Lan whispered.
"I used to think that the impossible is impossible, that people from civilian backgrounds can't do what legends can do, and that a doomed war has no chance of turning the tables, and if you want to face nobility, you have to make yourself good...... It turns out that the stereotypes I've been following don't apply in all situations. ”
"Rules are meant to be broken – and he showed me that with his actual actions."
"Civilians have done the same thing as legends, and rehearsing a failed war has more possibilities to reverse the ending, and only by becoming a good character can you meet nobility...... He directly crossed the process of 'becoming excellent', and became a rare excellence in the world, which is also something I could not imagine. ”
Suddenly she laughed again, with a bitter hint in her smile.
"Maybe we should change positions, and at this moment, he is the person I need to look up to."
"But that's okay."
"There will come a time when our position will be reversed again."
She was looking forward to it.
