Chapter 2947 Selfish
Huang Huali took the Xuan Huangguo with a touching look on her face.
The gentleman's cold voice sounded slowly from the side: "——Remind you, when I was a man of my behalf, it was a little arrogant and provoked many people. When I was there, those people would not make things difficult for me, but after I left, I don't know whether they would cause trouble for it... Although they would not go too far, it is inevitable to suffer a little."
No wonder Huang Huali is so urgent for promotion to the legend!
Zheng Qing's face showed a regretful expression visible to the naked eye.
However, the cat's reaction was faster. As soon as the gentleman said halfway, it was already quick-witted and grabbed the fruit, stuffed it into its mouth, then pulled its ears, swung its tail, and disappeared in front of the two wizards.
There was no hesitation at all.
"—You should tell me earlier!" Zheng Qing sighed heavily.
"Tell you, do you have other choices?" The gentleman disagreed and laughed in a low voice: "It is difficult to have perfect things in this world. You are in a hurry and you don't have many choices... Giving fruits to it is the least bad choice."
Zheng Qing had a brief plan.
Immediately relieved.
"Indeed, although the cat has a bad personality, it is relatively reliable." The young wizard smiled self-deprecatingly, changed his subject and mentioned what the gentleman said to Xuan Huangguo: "—You just said that the way I deal with this fruit will determine whether I will accept those three "little" troubles...how did it decide?"
He made the word "small" very seriously.
It means that these things may not be worth mentioning to the Mr., but they are not small at all for him.
"I actually want to confirm your style of doing things in the end." The gentleman did not answer the boy's confusion positively, but instead mentioned something that was a bit old for Zheng Qing: "--You still remember when you were freshman, you just entered school. When you were on a wandering house for the first time, you were recommended by a wandering wizard to buy a few gadgets. How did you deal with them at that time?"
Zheng Qing was stunned for a few seconds.
I remembered that drunken night after carefully recalling it.
His expression was a little dazed, and his eyes unconsciously aimed at a bookshelf, and he saw the small tree with branches stretched out in the glass ball.
The gentleman noticed his expression.
"Miss Jones' recovery speed was faster than I expected, probably because of the magic tide I brought when I was promoted, the whole world evolved a little faster." After comforting, the gentleman changed his tone and said with a hint of teasing: "——but, have you really thought about her plan after she came back?"
The young wizard withdrew his gaze in a slightly embarrassed manner.
"I've given everyone a point."
His voice was dry, avoiding the latest question from the gentleman, and answering the thing he mentioned earlier: "—I remember Zhang Jixin took the flying centipede and bought Dylan a stone of Taishan. The cross of Feilengcui was Xiao Xiao, and the colorful peach talisman of the lightning-striking wood was fat... and a black donkey hoof, mine."
The boy remembered every account very clearly with his fingers.
"Are you very rich at that time?" the gentleman asked.
"What?" Zheng Qing raised up blankly: "—No money, I was wandering, I sold all the talismans I had saved for a long time, and I could only get enough fifty jade coins..."
His voice became less and less.
For him now, fifty jade coins are nothing - he can earn more than seven hundred jade coins by trading blood talisman bullets with the Three Fork Sword every month. In addition, there are invitation fees, hunting, and dividends from D&K for the hunting team to participate in the hunting competition, etc., fifty jade coins are really sprinkled with water.
But for him, who had just entered school two years ago and had only kicked a twelve jade coins in his arms, fifty jade coins were a very large number.
But that day, he spent his eyes without blinking, and did not feel that he was a sucker at all.
Why?
Is it because I got drunk that day? Or was it bewitched by the magic of the wandering wizard? Or was it trying to leave a good impression on the friends I just met, so I slapped my face and pretended to be fat?
"Because you don't care about things that don't belong to you." The gentleman gave a slightly harsh answer: "To describe it in a more precise word, you are selfish enough."
Zheng Qing could not accept this reason.
"I'm not selfish!"
He blushed slightly and wanted to defend himself, but for a moment he could not find a suitable example. In the end, he could only say very reluctantly: "Why don't those fifty jade coins and the amulets I bought belong to me?"
"Because you do not belong to this world. Or, at that time, you did not have a real sense of belonging to the wizard world. So you were eager to find ways to deepen your connection with this world... From another perspective, you did not have a real concept of the value of jade coins or talismans in the wizard world at that time, and they did not really belong to you. Only when you truly understand its value can you truly own it."
"...You said before that I am very sacrificed. Is this a character that a selfish person can possess?"
“Sacrifice and selfishness are not antonyms.”
The gentleman seemed very happy that Zheng Qing could mention this, and patted the boy's shoulder comfortably and explained: "In fact, selfishness is not a bad word for me. It is extremely selfish, so it can seem extremely selfless. Knowing how to deal with problems in the most indifferent and selfish way is the best mentality that a seeker should have. Just like what I said before, the world is unkind and all things are straw dogs. In your eyes, there is no essential difference between Xuanhuangguo and maltose. If you are really like a glutton and want to embrace any benefits in your arms, I am afraid I will rethink my arrangements."
These reasons sound so advanced.
But Zheng Qing still couldn't accept his comments on him.
He was suspicious that even if he had just broken the Xuanhuangguo into a meat paste, the gentleman might have found out that this was his "unmoved by external objects" and "so he was very suitable for taking on important responsibilities".
"If I'm selfish, why don't I eat Xuanhuangguo by myself?" the boy muttered.
"Because you know that fruit is mine."
The gentleman said bluntly: "As the saying goes, 'Great treacherous is loyal, big selfish is public.' If it is not selfish, you will not try to make peace with the relationship with Congressman Su, Jiang and Miss Jones. Similarly, if you really have no selfishness, you should give it to Miss Colma, Professor Yi, and even Professor Emma. But you gave it to your own cat..."
"I'm not someone's cat!"
Deep in the bookstore, a little dissatisfied sound came suddenly, but the sound was a little vague, as if the fruit was still in its cheeks and had not been swallowed.
The two wizards in front of the window ignored the cat's complaints.
"—What does this conclusion have to do with those three things?"
"I believe you will treat this bookstore, the edge academy, and the forbidden spells as you do with that fruit. You will use them when you need it, protect them when you don't need it, and hand them to the right people when you need it."
"These choices don't sound selfish at all..." Zheng Qing was still a little worried about his husband's evaluation.
