Chapter 379: Trade-offs
"Your Highness, the Li family has already settled Li Gongzi. β
Hearing this, the woman in the fancy dress, who was fiddling with the delicate petals in the celadon flower pot on the windowsill, slowed down her movements and asked calmly, even with a smile, "How did he die?"
The subordinates who came to report for some reason suddenly felt a chill in their hearts.
Li Gongzi is the cousin and companion of the eldest princess Du Lanzhen, who grew up with the eldest princess since he was a child, and his relationship can be described as deep, and the eldest princess will kill when she says ......
"It was said that Li Gongzi had gone wrong in his practice, and he went mad, so he went. β
"It's a pity for my cousin. Duran sighed softly.
After she said this, she didn't say anything more, and went back to play with her petals.
The eldest princess did not give orders, and her subordinates did not dare to move, so they had to stand five steps away from her, waiting for the attention of the unknown when.
Duran caressed the soft petals slowly, thinking to himself that no one was destined to know about this world.
She didn't know what the jury was thinking, these scenes were very strange in the world, and they were obviously designed to embarrass the contestants. And the setting of the task is even more disgusting.
Duran really didn't know what kind of considerations the jury had in mind for this design, but she was really disgusted anyway.
Wouldn't it be for the contestants to perform a play of "giving to gain" and "retreating to advance", right?
The monks who are mixed in the immortal cultivation world are very familiar with all kinds of routines - there is no way, if they are not familiar, with the strange hobbies of the predecessors and masters of all walks of life, they will miss the opportunity sooner or later.
One of them is called "retreat is advance". As the name suggests, this routine is to tell you the rules of competition on the surface, but in fact this kind of rules are completely fake, and the result of really doing things according to the rules is to be tricked. And those who can't stand the rules and decide to give up are the last successes.
The operation of the jury does have a bit of this meaning.
But Duran really always thinks that this kind of rotten street routine is very funny in the non-crane tower - this is not an innovative design, everyone who should know knows it, and the jury is so obvious, is it afraid that everyone will not be able to see it?
Opportunistic people love routines the most, is it difficult to perform a drama of "fame is valuable, Lingyun is more expensive, if it is for the sake of Taoism, both can be thrown"?
Based on the conjecture of "the jury is not so clichΓ©", Duran Zhen walked all the way down - mainly because although these tasks are disgusting, they have not yet reached the point of touching her bottom line.
Of course, it is not reliable for exams and competitions to rely on speculation to make questions, do you think that the judges are in the third layer, maybe the judges are in the fourth layer?
Duran is not arrogant enough to think that he will ever get to the point where "I predicted yours".
What really supported her all the way down was her disdain for the so-called "retreat as advance" routine.
In other words, Duran really hates the so-called "retreat as advance".
When she was in Fusheng Xiaoxie, she hated the so-called "not fighting is fighting".
Now that they are all involved in the competition, what is there to talk about?
Now that they have already embarked on the path of immortality, how can they not argue?
If you don't fight, please turn around and go out, stay away from the fairy gate, and go to live a happy mortal for a lifetime. If you should live, you should live, if you deserve to die, don't come to compete with those of them who are determined to take a chance!
Some people don't want to fight, so ask them to make way for those who want to fight!
Duran really thinks that she is a person who should bow her head, bow her head when she should be soft, admit it when she should be soft, admit it when she should admit it, she can do everything to retreat for the purpose, but she will never disguise her own desires!
She would never want it in her heart, but she said no.
That's her bottom line.
When she still wanted to fight, she pretended not to fight!
Therefore, unless there is a task in the next step that really touches her bottom line and makes her willing to quit, Duran will never give up!
If the jury is really like this, then she won't fight for a big deal, the concept is not compatible, and it is not interesting to fight.
Duran really thought about it, and turned his head to smile at his subordinates.
"You're eight years old, it's time to go to school. I think it's good to learn refining, and I've already agreed with the Taoist friends in the refining hall that I'll go tomorrow. β
......
"What kind of alchemy to learn? Isn't it good to refine tools? What do you know as a child? Dad is for your good." β
......
"You can't be friends with that person, their family is too poor, he doesn't deserve to be friends with you. You have to find a friend with a good family background, so that you can help each other in the future, I think your senior brother is good. You say he's bullying you? Oh, what kind of grievances can there be between children? You just have to say nice things to him and play with him a little more. β
......
"Go to the school outside? so far, I still need you at home. Don't say it, I've already arranged it for you, just go to your enlightened refining hall for another salary. β
......
"You like that woman? She can't, their family is all rotten, you should find a Taoist couple with better family conditions to support each other. In the afternoon, you go to meet the girl of the Zhou family, and the wedding will be held in two months. β
......
"Son, Dad doesn't want to! It's really bad luck! In this way, you go to the east, there is Uncle Liao you know, you go to him. Dad went north, let's scatter and escape, and the chances of survival are a little better. β
Xi Yushan took a deep breath, pursed his lips, and looked coldly at the tall and burly man in front of him.
This is the father of Xi Yushan.
It is also the nightmare of "Xi Yushan" for a lifetime.
This is the story of a coward who has been at the mercy of his life.
In the eyes of outsiders, "Xi Yushan" can be described as glamorous. He is handsome, has an extraordinary family background, is gifted and intelligent, has profound attainments in refining, has a high status in the refining hall, is a good couple, beautiful and intelligent, and respects each other as husband and wife, if life is a game, then he is obviously a winner.
But Xi Yushan knows very well that the so-called perfect life is just a performance of marionettes.
All this was carefully designed by the father of "Xi Yushan".
It's hard to say that this father doesn't love "Xi Yushan", after all, he has paid a lot for his son.
But, is love at the mercy?
If the so-called love for the child is to help the child arrange everything in life, and the child is not allowed to have ideas that are contrary to himself, then why not just love a marionette?
And now, such "love" is also clearly priced. Xi Yushan knows very well that the so-called Uncle Liao is not a hope of escape, but a dead end.
The man asked him to be a decoy to cover his escape.
People who have been arranged all their lives have to be arranged even to die?
I don't know why, Xi Yushan actually felt a sense of sadness about the death of a rabbit and a fox.
He didn't know why.
Maybe he knew it in his heart, but he didn't want to think about it.
"Task three, go east and go to Uncle Liao. β
Xi Yushan lowered his head and was silent for a long time.
"Father" has gone far.
Maybe he never thought his marionette would be disobedient, right?
Xi Yushan shook his head lightly and chased north.
He didn't do it to escape, there was no need to escape in a scene world.
He chased after him, just to say "I refuse" to this extremely strong man.
