"What the Master said makes sense."

In the North Courtyard of Taixue Palace, Li Ziye heard what Faru said, thought for a moment, nodded, and said, "Let's do it in five days. Anyway, it's not enough."

Fa Ru smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will take care of the engagement between Wang Yu and your eldest sister. It has been a long time since the Confucian sect has had such a big happy event, and it will be done with great splendor."

"It doesn't matter whether the scenery is beautiful or not, the main thing is that the gift must be valuable."

Li Ziye said seriously, "It's best to bring a hundred bottles of elixirs over there. The Li family is in short supply!"

"..."

Faru was speechless and said angrily, "I think you are in need. You are so greedy that you have to make plans for your eldest sister's engagement."

"I can't help it. I was afraid of poverty when I was young."

Li Ziye smiled and said, "Master Zhang, it's agreed!"

"As much as possible."

Faru smiled and said, "By the way, you haven't seen Confucian leader since you came back. Come on, come with me to the east courtyard. Confucian leader has something to say to you."

"Uh-huh."

Li Ziye nodded vigorously, looked at Little Red Riding Hood beside him, and asked, "Will Little Red Riding Hood come too?"

"Need not."

Fa Ru shook his head and said, "When Wang Yu came back, I had already seen the Confucian leader and left."

After saying that, Faru didn't say anything more and walked towards the east courtyard.

Li Ziye waved his fist at Little Red Riding Hood, and immediately followed quickly.

Behind him, Bai Wangyu smiled softly, and for the sake of the Master of Law and Confucianism, he stopped arguing with this guy.

"Master, what do you want me to do, Mr. Confucian Master?"

On the way to the east courtyard, Li Ziye asked curiously, "Is there any treasure you want to give me?"

"You'll know when we get there." Fa Ru replied softly.

"Mysterious."

Li Ziye muttered, as if he thought of something again, and said, "By the way, Master, is there still a way to recover your cultivation?"

"There is nothing we can do for now."

Faru shook his head and said with a smile, "No rush, I just have some free time. I have been tired for most of my life. Now I can finally take off the burden on my shoulders. I can drink tea and play chess every day. It's good."

"Master, you have such a good attitude."

Li Ziye sighed, "I'm not good at it. I think about how to become stronger every day."

"Of course young people are different from an old man like me."

Faru smiled and said, "You are not arrogant and waste your youth. I, the old man, was also young and can understand your psychology. It is not a bad thing to have some utilitarianism when you were young."

"That's what I say, but I'm weak."

Li Ziye said depressedly, "I have been practicing martial arts for almost two years, and I can't even catch Little Red Riding Hood's ten moves. I heard that Little Red Riding Hood is about to enter the fourth realm. The gap between us has not narrowed, but is getting bigger and bigger."

, I’m really worried to death.”

"Oh."

Hearing this, Fa Ru smiled softly and said, "You and Wang Yu have different paths. Your foundation is relatively weak, so you have to keep accumulating. Wang Yu, his talent is better than yours, and after accumulating it for so many years,

Of course it looks stronger, but in fact, the gap between the two of you is already narrowing."

"Really?"

Li Ziye asked expectantly.

"real."

Faru nodded slightly.

Really...right?

As the two of them talked, they got closer and closer to the east courtyard.

Not long after, the two of them stopped in front of a very simple small courtyard in the east courtyard.

"Confucian leader, the boy from the Li family is here."

Fa Ru opened his mouth and said respectfully.

"Come in."

In the courtyard, the voice of the Confucian leader rang out and responded.

"yes!"

Fa Ru accepted the order, and immediately the young man beside him walked towards the small courtyard.

In the small courtyard.

Confucius squatted in the vegetable garden and was checking the condition of the vegetables inside.

Although the courtyard is very simple, it is very neat and tidy, and the snow has been swept away, revealing some aged blue bricks.

"Confucian leader!"

After Li Ziye came in, he bowed respectfully and said.

"It's been a year since we last saw each other, so I've learned some etiquette."

In the vegetable garden, Confucius stood up and said with a smile.

"Boy, I have always been polite and well-behaved. You, Confucian Master, know that." Li Ziye said seriously.

Confucius chuckled lightly and didn't say anything more on this topic. He waved his hand and said, "Come here and help me see if the vegetables in the garden are still alive."

Li Ziye heard about it and walked into the vegetable garden.

"These vegetables are all frozen."

Li Ziye looked at the vegetables in the garden, frowned and said, "I probably won't survive."

"It's been snowing a few days ago and it's too cold."

Confucius sighed softly and said, "It takes a lot of time to grow these vegetables. It's a pity."

"Just plant it again."

Li Ziye said nonchalantly.

"Vegetables can be replanted after they die, but people can't."

Confucius looked to the north and said.

Li Ziye was speechless when he heard the words, he knew it.

The words of the senior masters are indeed different. They never speak directly about anything and have to go around in circles.

"Winter is coming."

Confucius withdrew his gaze and said calmly, "You must have felt it too."

"Um."

Li Ziye nodded and said, "This year's winter is obviously extremely cold. It may be the sign of the cold winter that Confucian Shou said."

"Have you thought of a solution?" Confucius asked softly.

"Confucian leader, you really think highly of me. As a Confucian leader, there is nothing you can do. What can I do?"

Li Ziye smiled bitterly and said, "Although I know some things, I can't change anything by myself."

"Then keep thinking."

Confucius' expression softened a little and he said, "I believe you will be able to find a solution."

"Don't."

Hearing this, Li Ziye quickly refused and said, "Don't put your hat on me, old man. I know how much I am capable of. With my current strength, I can't even protect myself. If I go to Yingzhou, I still need Little Red Riding Hood."

They must be rescued to come back alive. I cannot bear the burden of protecting all sentient beings in the world."

"It's your responsibility, you can't even hide from it."

Confucius sighed, "Don't rush, there is still some time, take your time."

"Confucian leader, you really may have made a mistake in your calculations."

Li Ziye said somewhat depressedly, "The savior you are talking about should be like my second brother. He has extraordinary talents, not only once in a thousand years, but once in 180 years. My martial arts talent is useless."

They are all a bit insulting and useless. If it weren't for a good master, I wouldn't even be able to advance on the path of martial arts."

"Martial arts talent doesn't mean anything."

Confucius said softly, "There are countless geniuses in the world, and there are also many great practitioners of the Five Realms. However, this world has not changed so far. On the contrary, you, although your talents are ordinary, have brought many changes to this Jiuzhou."

When the Confucian leader was speaking, Li Ziye seemed not to hear him. He squatted on the ground and dug around. Finally he found a relatively intact radish, pulled it out with all his strength, then got up and ran to a bucket.
