Chapter 404 Tips

Outside the room, Xiao Yan looked inside with confusion, wondering what Yao Shen suddenly wanted to say to Xiao Ling.

But since Yao Shen pushed himself away, it proved that he didn't want to hear their conversation, so it was better not to eavesdrop.

Xiao Yan leaned against the wall and waited quietly. After ten minutes, the door was opened and Xiao Ling walked out. Xiao Yan immediately stood up straight.

"Sister, have you finished talking to the teacher?"

".Well, we're done talking."

Xiao Ling looked at Xiao Yan with deep helplessness in her eyes, and sighed heavily under Xiao Yan's doubtful eyes.

"Sister, what's wrong with you?"

"It's nothing." Xiao Ling stretched out his hand and patted Xiao Yan's head hard, "You kid, you really don't make people worry."

"Well?"

Xiao Yan covered his head, his eyes full of questions. Xiao Ling didn't explain any more, holding the ring where the medicine settled in his hand.

"Your teacher and I are going to go find your senior sister to do something together, so I will keep the ring first."

"Um."

Xiao Yan nodded, and then Xiao Ling suddenly looked serious and spoke.

"Yan'er, I just heard about what you experienced in the Black Corner Domain from your teacher."

"."

As soon as Xiao Ling finished speaking, the faces of those children appeared in Xiao Yan's mind, and his face instantly became gloomy, and Xiao Ling continued.

"From my personal point of view, I sympathize with those children, but I hope you understand one thing. Even without you, they will die in the Black Corner Territory sooner or later without the ability to protect themselves." Xiao Ling turned his head slightly , glanced sideways at his brother, "This is not your fault."

".I know."

Xiao Yan nodded in a low mood, but as soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Ling sternly objected.

"No, you don't know. To this day you still blame yourself for the deaths of those children."

Xiao Ling knew his brother very well. Even though Xiao Yan knew in his mind that it was not his fault, he still couldn't let go of himself in his heart.

Being responsible is a good thing, and Xiao Ling doesn't want Xiao Yan to be a coward who evades his own responsibilities, but there are some responsibilities that shouldn't be shouldered, so don't be self-righteous and carry them on your back. It will serve no purpose other than making yourself suffer heartache.

"Yan'er, the biggest problem facing your right path is that you are too pessimistic."

"pessimistic?"

Xiao Yan was stunned, and his footsteps suddenly stopped. He did not speak at any time, but his eyes showed disapproval.

Xiao Ling stopped and slowly turned around to face Xiao Yan. Xiao Yan also saw disapproval of his speech in his eyes and smiled helplessly.

"Yan'er, you usually think well of the results of many things you do, right?"

"This" Xiao Yan's expression froze and he whispered: "Shouldn't this be a sign of optimism?"

Xiao Ling smiled, but shook his head lightly.

"No, this is quite pessimistic, because the result cannot be determined by people's subjective imagination. It does not mean that the result will be what you want it to be."

"The greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment. You should understand this truth, Yan'er, right?"

"It's because you have such wonderful expectations for the results. When the real results come out and are far different from your expectations, you won't be able to accept them, and you won't be able to do the next thing well."

Xiao Yan's words made Xiao Yan freeze on the spot, quietly listening to Xiao Ling's next words.

"Contrary to you, when I do anything, I always anticipate the worst result first, and when the result actually comes out, it will never be worse than the worst result I imagined. I always I can accept it calmly and do what I should do.”

Xiao Ling walked up to Xiao Yan, put her hands on his shoulders, stared at him, and spoke word by word.

"Yan'er, if you want to continue on your right path, then you must remember what I say next and think about it seriously."

"Although the death of those children makes you very sad, most people on this continent, including me, feel that the death of those children is natural."

! ! ! ! !

Xiao Yan was completely stunned and looked at Xiao Ling in front of him blankly. He never thought that his sister would say such heartless words.

Of course? Why should the death of those children be taken for granted? !

Xiao Yan's eyes flashed with anger, and just as he was about to argue with Xiao Ling, Xiao Ling raised his hand and gently rubbed his hair, his voice extremely gentle.

"Yan'er, I absolutely support the right path you stick to. If your right path succeeds, it will really bring benefits to most people, including you and the people around me."

"But first, you have to figure something out."

"Why is it so difficult for you to walk the right path in this world?"

"Only after you have figured this out can you really start taking action. Otherwise, no matter how much you do, it will all be in vain."

Xiao Ling patted Xiao Yan's head, turned and left, leaving Xiao Yan alone in a daze.

Xiao Ling left with the ring and walked towards the guest room where Han Feng lived. The sound of medicine sinking leisurely sounded from the ring.

"Then child, can you understand what you just said?"

"Whether he wants to understand it or not, he has to think hard if he still wants to continue on the right path." Xiao Ling's voice was calm, with a trace of tenderness in his eyes, "It's not that the child doesn't know the dangers of this world, it's just that He doesn’t want the world to be so dangerous in his heart, so he habitually thinks of everyone and everything as the best possible outcome.”

"But to put it bluntly, he is just lying to himself. The reality of the world will not change in the slightest because of what he thinks in his heart."

"If he wants to continue to preach the right way, he must see with his own eyes what the world is like and understand where the real disease is before he can start to change it."

Xiao Yan had already left the Xiao family at this time. The brothers and sisters of the Xiao family had just returned today and were not busy with anything. Xiao Yan, who was feeling restless and restless, walked carelessly alone on the streets of Wutan City, with thoughts echoing in his mind. Following what Xiao Ling said just now.

What does my sister mean by what she said?

[Although the death of those children makes you very sad, most people in this world, including me, think that the death of those children is natural. 】

[Why is it so difficult for you to follow the right path in this world? 】

Xiao Yan kept thinking about what Xiao Ling meant by these two sentences, and the noisy noise on the street kept coming to his ears.

At this time, a hand stretched out from behind Xiao Yan and patted his shoulder. Xiao Yan suddenly came back to his senses and turned around to look.

After Xiao Yan saw the person clearly, his eyes suddenly showed joy.

"Brother Yun?"

Long black hair, scarlet eyes, handsome face, dressed like a nobleman, holding a folding fan, who else could he be if he wasn't Yunying?

"Master Xiao, long time no see~"

Yunying unfolded the folding fan and gently covered half of her face, narrowed her eyes slightly and smiled softly. Xiao Yan was stunned after the brief surprise and looked at her doubtfully.

"Brother Yun, why are you here?"

"My family asked me to come to the Jiama Empire to do some things. After I finished doing it, I remembered that Mr. Xiao's hometown is here in Wutan City, so I came here to take a look around. Unexpectedly, we happened to meet each other again. It's really a fate~"

Yunying smiled and said the words she had thought of in advance in a leisurely manner.

"Really? That's a coincidence." Xiao Yan nodded clearly, without any doubt about Yunying's words. Yunying slowly closed the folding fan, looked closely at Xiao Yan's eyes, and spoke softly road.

"These words may be a little offensive. Is Mr. Xiao worried about something? If you don't mind, can you find a restaurant to talk to me. Maybe I can help mediate."

As for Yunying's proposal, Xiao Yan nodded and agreed without thinking, and then led Yunying to the best restaurant in Wutan City. Under the arrangement of the clerk, he sat down by the window on the second floor. .

After casually ordering a few dishes, Xiao Yan stood up and took the teapot to pour tea into the cup in front of Yunying.

"I wanted to treat Brother Yun to a meal last time in the Black Corner Territory, but I couldn't do it due to various reasons. This time, my wish has come true."

"This should be the so-called fate." Yunying smiled slightly, and then a look of doubt appeared in his eyes, "Speaking of which, what happened to the restaurant that Mr. Xiao opened for those children in the Black Corner Domain?"

Asking questions knowingly, which pot will not be opened and picked up, this is the current Yunying.

As for why she started talking about this topic, it was just that Yun Ying thought it was fun. The tragedy of those children in the Black Corner Territory should be regarded as the first thing that made Xiao Yan doubt his righteousness since Yun Ying had been staring at Xiao Yan for such a long time.

It would be a pity not to mention this and talk about it, just look at Xiao Yan's reaction.

Sure enough, after hearing Yunying's inquiry and pouring tea for Yunying, Xiao Yan, who was pouring tea into the cup in front of him, suddenly froze and slowly put down the teapot in his hand, with deep sadness in his eyes. .

After a while, Xiao Yan slowly sat down, raised his head and replied with a smile.

"The result is not as expected."

This smile looked so forced, so bitter, and it was more heartbreaking than crying.

After Yunying saw Xiao Yan's expression, she pretended to be silent for a moment.

"It seems that we shouldn't ask about this matter." Yunying said knowingly and kindly changed the subject, "Speaking of which, I heard from family members that someone in Canaan College took a photo A drama? It seems to be called Xiao Ying? "

"Ah, that was taken by my sister."

Xiao Yan calmed down and replied with a smile.

"I see. I originally wanted to have some fun, but I couldn't get away due to busy family affairs. Can Mr. Xiao tell me something?"

"Brother Yun, if you want to hear it, Xiao Yan is naturally willing to tell it for you."

Then Xiao Yan began to tell Yunying the contents of Xiao Ying's biography. As the dishes ordered were placed on the table one by one, Xiao Ying seemed to become more and more fascinated as he listened.

Finally, after Xiao Yan finished telling the ending, Yunying pretended to be relieved and praised without sincerity.

"It's really a story with ups and downs. It's really amazing to us that your sister can produce such a thought-provoking drama." Yunying paused and then asked: "As far as Mr. Xiao is concerned, As for Xiao Ying in the drama, do you think what she did was right or wrong?”

Yunying looked at Xiao Yan, waiting for his answer.

Xiao Yan was silent for a long time before he slowly spoke.

"From my perspective, what she did was 100% wrong."

Upon hearing this answer, Yunying raised her eyebrows slightly, not surprised by Xiao Yan's answer.

After all, the series of things Xiao Ying did were fundamentally contrary to Xiao Yan's ideas.

However, Xiao Yan said again.

"But, I am not qualified to judge whether she did the right thing or not." Xiao Yan lowered his eyebrows, his eyes flickering, "That Xiao Ying was forced to do evil by the environment of the Xiao clan."

Hearing Xiao Yan's words, Yun Ying's heart suddenly rippled.

Although it was just a little bit, it was indeed something that she hadn't experienced for thousands of years.

Originally, she was planning to let Xiao Yan fend for himself.

If Xiao Yan could figure it out and continue to walk on the right path, it would be best, but if he couldn't figure it out and stopped walking on the right path, then Yun Ying would have no interest in him.

If she had no interest in him, it meant that Xiao Yan should die.

However, Xiao Yan's words just now made Yun Ying give up the idea of ​​watching Xiao Yan fend for himself.

It's not a bad idea to help him.

The corners of Yun Ying's mouth slightly curved, and she looked at Xiao Yan and said softly.

"Speaking of which, I heard that this play seems to be very controversial in Canaan College. What's going on?"

"Ah, that's because..."

Xiao Yan told Yunying about the outer courtyard's admiring the strong and fearing the strong factions. Yunying pondered for a moment and looked at Xiao Yan and asked.

"So, Mr. Xiao, which faction do you think you belong to?"

"If it was before, I would definitely choose the fearing the strong faction." Xiao Yan lowered his eyebrows slightly, and a bitter expression appeared on his face, "But now, I don't know which side to choose."

"Indeed, the arguments of both factions are reasonable and well-founded, and it is difficult to stand on one side."

Yunying picked up the chopsticks and put a mouthful of food into her mouth. After chewing, she swallowed it and said softly.

"But I think Mr. Xiao doesn't need to be so distressed."

"Huh? What do you mean?"

Xiao Yan was stunned, and Yunying continued.

"The admiring the strong faction said that because this world is like this, improving strength is everything."

"The fearing the strong faction said that because this world is already like this, we can't just improve our strength."

"We think that the speeches of the two sides are actually quite similar."

After hearing Yunying's words, Xiao Yan was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly took out the notebook from the ring, lowered his head and kept flipping through the debate between the admiring the strong faction and the fearing the strong faction that he had previously recorded.

Yunying did not interrupt him, but just quietly ate the food on the table.

After a while, Xiao Yan finally stopped flipping through his notes, and his eyes also revealed a look of sudden realization.

Forced by the environment to do evil, this is the world

So that's how it is!

I finally understand what my sister said!

"Brother Yun! Thank you for your advice!"

Xiao Yan stood up suddenly and thanked Yunying in a stern voice.

Yunying looked at Xiao Yan's expression of sudden realization and smiled softly.

"You're welcome, Mr. Xiao, I just said it casually."

In his heart, his feelings towards Xiao Yan quietly improved a little.

Really just a little.
