After a period of preparation, the Mori Sakura finally accepted the ritual of Snow Feather.

Everyone outside the house waited in fear, and they could not accept, or believe, the news that the Maori cherry blossom ceremony would fail.

No, it's not so much "in case of failure", according to Jacqueline's memory of the ritual, the probability of success ...... It should be said that "in case of success" is more appropriate.

Thinking of this, Jacqueline patted her cheek, trying to throw her ominous thoughts out of her head. That wasn't what she wanted.

After a long wait, the closed door opened, and under the expectant gaze of everyone, a pure white creature flew out first.

Then there were two priests - seeing the expression of the priest, Jacqueline and the others relaxed a lot.

According to past experience, if they failed, those priests should have their faces covered with blood, and the expression on their faces was a look of collapse, but now although these two priests could not see joy or sorrow, they were serious and solemn, and did not have any sense of collapse.

When the intact Maori Sakura finally came out, many of the girls hid their faces to prevent themselves from losing their temper due to being too excited.

Of course, this was only temporary, and everyone finally couldn't hold back their mood and rushed over to give the partner a big hug.

"How's your health?" the man asked, fiddling with his white arm.

"Good. Maori Sakura closed her eyes and tried to endure the other's frivolity.

It was Chu Shou, that guy was separated from his friends at Maori Sakura, and sneaked into Maori Sakura's room in the middle of the night when he was resting.

The impudent guy didn't wait for Maori Sakura's accusations, first saying hello briefly, and then asking for an examination of her freshly healed body.

Maori Sakura didn't intend to agree to this guy's request, but thinking that Chu Shou had killed the Southern Xinjiang Insect Beast Master for himself after all, and it seemed that it was okay to let the other party check it.

So Mao Li Sakura finally did not refuse Chu Shou, and stretched out a hand to the other party - isn't it just for this guy to see, and there will be no shortage of meat.

However, Chu Shou's behavior was completely beyond Maori Sakura's expectations, and he actually grabbed her hand directly and observed it carefully like appreciating a gem.

Maori Sakura wanted to retreat too late, so she could only choose to ignore it as if her hand had been broken.

During the whole process, Maori Sakura didn't communicate with Chu Shou at all, she had actually decided in her heart that this was the last time she and Chu Shou would meet.

If there is any reason, it can only be said that Chu Shou behaved too despicably in the gladiatorial battle with the Southern Xinjiang Insect and Beast Division, which made Maori Sakura very shameful.

Chu Shou nodded after observing Maori Sakura's palm.

Because this palm is newborn, there is no callus generated by sword practice before, and the feel is tender and smooth, which is simply lovely.

However, Chu Shou's observation was not over yet, he actually groped up along the palm of his hand and reached Maori Sakura's arm.

"That's enough! you despicable fellow!" Mori Sakura shook off Chu Shou in disgust and took a few steps back.

"Despicable?" Chu Shou looked at Maori Sakura in confusion.

"Think about it, your duel with the Southern Xinjiang Insect and Beast Division, how dirty your methods are, I was simply an idiot who believed that you could defeat the enemy with your strength in an open and honest manner!"

"Above board?"

"Yes, fairly, by their own strength, not by petty means and vile deeds. Maori Sakura was worried that Chu Shou didn't understand, so she explained carefully.

"Whew, that's why. ”

"What's the reason for this, don't you even have basic honor and dignity!?" Hearing this, Maori Sakura was even more dissatisfied.

"Okay, okay, I'll show you something, do you have paper and pen here?"

"There, go get it yourself. Although Maori Sakura was confused, she still seriously agreed to Chu Shou.

After taking the paper and pen, Chu Shou drew a picture. The composition is simple, with three children of varying heights standing outside the wall, two children too short to see the world outside the wall, and only one child's head rises above the wall.

"All three of these children want to see the Hercules Cup inside the wall, but two of them are not tall enough, so let's just explain, all three of them have bought tickets. ”

"What do you want to say?"

"Now the person in charge has brought three boxes and divided them among the three children, hoping that they can see the football inside. ”

Chu Shou drew as he spoke, and in the next picture, the three children each got a box, this time the heads of the two children were higher than the wall, but the shortest child still couldn't reach the height.

Then Chu Shou drew another picture, this time the shortest child got two boxes, the shorter child got one box, and the tallest child didn't get the box, but all three children finally reached the height and poked their heads out of the wall.

"Which of these two pictures do you think is the best?"

Maori Sakura looked at it and hesitantly chose the latter.

"Why?"

"What, why, so that everyone can see football!"

"But that's not fair!" Chu Shou said, "It's only fair for each person to get a box, why would you choose another one?"

Hearing Chu Shou's question, Maori Sakura was speechless - yes, it would be fair for each person to get a box, however, her intuition told her that it was obvious that another picture was ideal.

"You forgot one thing, justice. ”

"Impartiality?"

"Yes, think about it, how long has the Southern Xinjiang Insect and Beast Master been operating in Southern Xinjiang, how powerful is he, and what is my identity, come to Southern Xinjiang alone to duel with him, do you think it is fair to me?"

Hearing this, Maori Sakura felt as if something had hit her brain, and she didn't know how to answer for a while.

"How long has the Southern Xinjiang Insect and Beast Master practiced martial arts, and how long have I been cultivating, is it fair to me that I will fight a duel with the Southern Xinjiang Insect and Beast Master?"

Yes, the prestige of the Southern Xinjiang Insect and Beast Master in the whole world has been at least fifty years, and Chu Shou is at most in his twenties, is this just for Chu Shou?--Mao Li Sakura couldn't help but ask such a question in his heart.

"There are two people who practice martial arts, one practices kung fu that advances by leaps and bounds, but it hurts a lot, and the other practices martial arts, which is slow progress, but focuses on accumulation, and there is no harm.

Everyone has practiced for two years, and the former can beat the latter, but after ten years, the former is quadriplegic, and eating is a problem, so naturally he is not the opponent of the latter, let me ask you, which of the two is more powerful?"

"This question...... I don't know. Maori Sakura shook her head, it was really hard to answer.

"The question of strength and weakness is not something that can be decided at a specific time, but a matter of a lifetime, and this comparison is equivalent to two lines. Chu Shou drew two more parallel lines on the paper.

"The upper one belongs to the Southern Xinjiang Insect and Beast Division, and the lower one is mine. This represents the strength of both of us. Chu Shou explained, "If that's the case, I don't have a chance of winning at all." ”

So I had to do it. As he spoke, Chu Shou kept making crosses on his line segment, lowering the entire line segment, and then raised one of the points until it exceeded the upper line segment, "I adjusted my strength and resources in other periods, and finally let my own strength surpass the Southern Xinjiang Insect Beast Master at a certain point, and chose to duel with the Southern Xinjiang Insect Beast Master in that shop." However, this means that in my past performance and future performance, because this kind of preparation will make me much weaker. ”

"The question is, may I ask which one is stronger, me or the Southern Xinjiang Insect and Beast Master, who made this adjustment?"

Maori Sakura still couldn't give an answer, she just shook her head slowly.

"At least, I defeated the Southern Xinjiang Insect Beast Division, this is not despicable, the reason why I have the courage to challenge the Southern Xinjiang Insect Beast Division, is not because I am stronger than him, because absolute strength does not exist, just because I have prepared what I should prepare, to understand the opponent, to understand myself, to adjust all the resources that can be adjusted, so that I can reach the height that should be stronger than the opponent, I can fight with him, otherwise, I think that if I just think about relying on strength, instead of thinking and preparing to ensure the final victory, it is just brute force。 ”

Hearing the word "courage", Maori Sakura couldn't help but feel shocked.

The girl suddenly recalled the killing of the vegetable snake when she was a child, and at this time she realized that the master did not admit her courage at that time, not because the snake she killed was non-poisonous, but because of her brute force.

Yes, I don't know what kind of snake this snake is, whether it is poisonous or not, it is harmful, but I just kill a life by virtue of my own subjective thoughts.

Such an end result is just because of one's own momentary hot-headedness, resulting in indifferent waste of energy and unnecessary casualties, which is not courage at all.

"Seriously, why would I fight such a terrible enemy, the second best in the world, and the methods are disgusting. Chu Shou touched his hair and smiled bitterly, "But I can't ...... it."

What Chu Shou said was not a lie, if it weren't for the fact that he had consumed most of his resources to deal with the Southern Xinjiang Insect and Beast Master, maybe he would have a way to stop Lin Yan's tragedy.

"Is it to protect someone, Megas?" Mori Sakura didn't know why, and felt sour when she said this.

"And you, and Jacqueline, and Colleen, and Jessie, and You, and Jane, and Lin Yan, and Aite. Chu Shou shook his head.

I don't know why, after Chu Shou said this, Maori Sakura's heart didn't seem to be so sour, but a little sweeter.

"Having said so much, I just want to tell you that sometimes there are some things that you don't have to bear alone, you still have partners, and me, don't let yourself be so tired. Chu Shou touched his hair and said, "We are all happy to help you, we all want to protect you, please let us be a part of your power." ”

Maori Sakura sensed a faint exhaustion from Chu Shou's expression at this time, and she seemed to have a strong feeling in her heart that wanted to burst out.

"Keep checking. But in the end, Maori Sakura still chose to hide this feeling, but she no longer resisted Chu Shou and took the initiative to stretch out her arms to the other party.

"Don't push yourself too hard. The girl said in a voice that was barely audible to the other party, "I want to be your ...... power too" (to be continued.) )
