Chapter 205: Showing Kindness
"Who is it?"
Listening to this unfamiliar voice, Ye Wen couldn't help but be slightly stunned, after all, it was only a few days since he entered the forbidden area of the armor and became Meng Lao's disciple, and then it was the problem of studying the Earth Fire Talisman behind closed doors.
Therefore, at this moment, Ye Wen was also a little curious in his heart, but he didn't expect that someone would take the initiative to say hello, and after he failed the test, it stands to reason that even if he didn't become the target of falling into the well, he shouldn't be a popular person.
A look of doubt flashed in his eyes, Ye Wen looked up slightly, but found that there was not only one person standing in front of him, but two young men wearing simple green shirts and about seventeen or eighteen years old.
The one on the left, with an ordinary appearance, broad shoulders and a round waist, a stout figure, and bright eyes, is not a thin green shirt, and it can't hide the bulging muscles, at first glance, it gives people the impression that it does not look like a talisman refiner, but a monk who fights in the jungle.
Beside this sturdy young man, there was a handsome-looking, smiling face, black and shiny hair, and a radiant peer, whose temperament was also quite rigid, but compared with his companions, he looked like a weak scholar.
"Senior Brother Ye Wen. ”
Looking at Ye Wen, who stood up from the spot with a slightly puzzled expression, the handsome young man smiled faintly, there was a gleam in his eyes, and after pointing to his partner next to him, he chuckled and introduced himself: "His name is Kong Axe, I am Meng Jiaoli, we are all outer disciples accepted by Meng Lao a few months ago, in terms of status, you should actually be Senior Brother Ye You are higher, but after all, it is relatively late to get started, don't mind if we are cheeky and call ourselves senior brothers, right?"
Ye Wen was stunned when he heard this, this kind of attitude that seems to be soft and hard, but it is quite interesting, although the words are full of grace, but there is a faint hint of arrogance, but this is okay, he is not the kind of narcissist who thinks he is the first person in the world and requires everyone to respect him.
I heard that the more humble a person is, the more arrogant he will be after achieving fame and fortune, and the more he can't tolerate the contemptuous eyes of others, but Ye Wen doesn't have this kind of thought, whether it is too much praise or merciless slander, for him, it is just something unrealistic.
Only one's own strength is the only thing worth grasping firmly.
"I've seen two senior brothers, junior brothers are just getting started, I don't know the rules, if there is something offended, please forgive me!"
Ye Wen saw the two people in front of him, because he was silent for a while, and his face gradually stiffened, he smiled secretly in his heart, after all, it was a young man's nature, and he could only maintain his demeanor on the surface, thinking so in his heart, but Ye Wen still consciously showed a modest attitude out of the principle of not causing trouble.
"Don't dare, don't dare, where is there anything offended, Senior Brother Ye is too worried, we are here this time, just to make friends with Senior Brother Ye Wen, you are just going out to rely on friends, living in a strange new place, everything must start over, if everyone sweeps the snow in front of the door, treats them indifferently, and does not communicate with each other, in fact, it is not conducive to cultivation, you say yes, Kong Axe?"
Meng Jiaoli was very satisfied with Ye Wen's answer, the stiffness on his face was as if it was an illusion, and it quickly dissolved, he smiled slightly, it was a kind of courtesy, he thought he knew Ye Wen's mentality quite well, he was originally a high-profile talisman refining genius, but there was a problem in the lowest entry test, at this moment, I was afraid that it was quite uncomfortable, and he would even dare not see people because of this, so he used the excuse of retreat to practice talismans to escape the questioning eyes of everyone.
Now seeing two unfamiliar faces, standing in front of me uninvited, and saying that I want to make friends This kind of untrue and false words, even if I am not flattered, I am afraid that I will not be able to react for a while, and I am in a state of half-belief, and surprise and joy.
That's right!
The corners of Meng Jiaoli's lips were slightly hooked, but they quickly turned into a soft smile, as if representing sincerity, he glanced at Ye Wen's slightly wooden expression, and thought that he was ninety percent sure in his heart, this was an opportunity to win people's hearts.
If it is the icing on the cake, it will most likely be regarded as a mustard, but if it is a charcoal in the snow, it seems that this friendship is precious.
That's right, perhaps, as the other brothers think, this genius of unknown origin will probably fall under inexplicable circumstances, falling from the clouds high above to the bottom of the deepest valley, this is not surprising, misjudging qualifications, or temporary mutations of qualifications, and sudden reversal, are all things that have been heard from time to time.
The fate of these people is usually not very good, after all, they were praised to the sky a moment ago, and they will inevitably be complacent, but it will not take long to be told that they have become waste, this kind of contrast in status, if it happens to some people with fragile minds, I am afraid that they will collapse and go crazy long ago, and no matter how resolute people are, they will most likely be depressed and unable to regain their strength.
Indeed, the means of winning over people's hearts are mostly a waste of time and useless effort to be applied to this kind of waste that will be eliminated in ninety percent, after all, there are very few people who can climb out of the valley, just as some brothers ridicule, even if it is to send charcoal in the snow, we must choose a good object, so as not to waste feelings.
But—
Meng Jiao smiled coldly, but he had a different opinion, if he was the kind of person who knew at a glance that he was destined to have an infinite future, he was surrounded by many doglegs early on, where would he have the opportunity to perform.
And the people who are worthy of sending charcoal in the snow, are often destined to achieve nothing in the eyes of others, it is precisely because no one wants to believe that his belief is precious, no matter how clever the skill of the person, there will definitely be mistakes and omissions, if everything is carefully calculated, you have to screen a clear, how can it be among the tens of millions of people, pick the object of high return.
If it is finally confirmed that the other party is indeed a waste, in fact, it is just a waste of a little false feelings, and then kick it away, or find an excuse to leave, isn't it a hundred?
On the other hand, if there is a miracle of resurrection, this small gesture of goodwill can most likely become a favor that people will remember, and the subsequent reward will be extremely rich and benefit for a lifetime.
This is Meng Jiaoli's method of meeting people.
Since he was a child, he has been determined to let the superiors, or the future superiors, owe him favors, so he constantly extends a helping hand to those who seem to be down, or suddenly down, just to be able to meet one among thousands of people.
For Meng Jiaoli, Ye Wen was actually a small member of the thousands of people, and his deliberate overtures at this time were neither out of intuition nor conclusions drawn through observation, but just a gesture driven by habit.
"Of course, Senior Brother Meng said it very well, it is also a kind of fate that we can get together here, and we should support each other, but it is a pity that the other senior brothers do not understand this kind of truth, which is really regrettable. ”
Kong Axe also smiled and nodded, there was an imperceptible strange emotion in his eyes, and it flashed: "Yes, Senior Brother Ye, you started to cultivate the Chiyang Heart Method this time, did you finally solve the problem of the Earth Fire Talisman?" Heh, I hope you don't mind me mentioning this, I actually have a lot of experience in this area, if you still have any questions, you might as well tell Senior Brother I, maybe I can help you." ”
Hearing this, Ye Wen's eyes narrowed slightly, glanced at the two of them, his eyes flashed, and his heart suddenly moved slightly, but he arched his hand and said: "Senior brother, I do still have some doubts, and I ask the two senior brothers to give me advice." ”
