205. Chapter 205 There is a thin line between genius and mediocrity
A demonic wind rose from the ground, gently brushing the long hair hanging between the ears and temples.
Xia Chuyi felt that something clouded her eyes, making her feel that nothing had changed the moment Lu Haoran smiled.
"Senior Brother Lu, why...why did you become like this?" She paused involuntarily as she spoke, and her eyes as dark as water were filled with turbulent waves.
The person who should least turn bad in this world is Lu Haoran. His name carries a sense of awe and righteousness, and there is a kind of tenacity in his bones that will never give in to fate.
In Liucheng, he stood alone and played the flute at night, and he would never be able to overlap with the person he is now.
Lu Haoran did not answer her directly. Instead, he smiled stiffly at the corner of his mouth and said, "When junior junior sister from the first grade of junior high school walked up to the Dingtian Platform, did you ever think about defeating me?"
"Yes." Xia Chuyi answered simply, "I just want you to know that sometimes losing is a relief, but winning is painful."
Lu Haoran slowly opened his hands, looked up at the sky, stared at the moving white clouds and birds flying by, and there was a faint smile on his lips.
"Actually, I don't care about winning or losing, but I care about winning or losing with Qin Yaoxuan. Last time, he stepped onto this stage, and I could only watch. That was already a great humiliation for me."
Xia Chuyi looked at him coldly and said nothing, but the fire cloud in his sleeve had slipped out and was held in his hand.
Lu Haoran continued: "Sometimes, there is only a thin line between genius and mediocrity. Everyone said that there were two geniuses in the Imperial Master Academy, one Qin Yaoxuan and the other Lu Haoran. At that time, I wanted to laugh when I heard it, but I never thought about it.
This sentence will become my nightmare for the next ten years."
He paused as he spoke and looked sideways at the sable beside him.
The sable seemed to have sensed something. He bared his fangs restlessly, revealing his sharp and poisonous claws, staring at Xia Chuyi with eager eyes.
He walked over, stretched out his hand and patted its back gently: "Don't be harsh on her. She is the only one who can listen to me seriously."
When Xia Chu heard this, he was stunned. His curled and clenched fingers slowly opened, and his eyes flashed when he looked at him, but he still did not speak.
Lu Haoran didn't seem to need her to say anything. For him, all words in the world could be classified into three categories: contempt, pity, and questioning.
No matter which one it was, he was sure that he didn't need it.
"Junior sister in the first grade of junior high school, do you know the difference between a genius and a mediocre person? The former only needs to have talent, which is enough to learn what the latter has to spend ten times the effort to learn. And the later the stage, the more talented you are.
Important, mediocrity stops at a threshold and will never move forward."
"I actually don't have any talent, I just started enlightenment early. I was just an ordinary person, but I was told that I was a genius. If I can't meet those high expectations, I feel like I'm not as good as me.
Others are average. So I work harder and spend more energy on cultivation than ordinary people. I just want others to say that in fact you are no worse than others."
Lu Haoran stood up. Even if there was no wind, his long hair was flying wildly everywhere, but his clothes remained still, which was indescribably weird.
He stepped forward and walked toward her step by step. His eyes were darker than those of ordinary people, and the black and angry pupils were getting bigger and bigger, and the whites of his eyes were getting smaller and smaller.
"Junior sister in the first grade of junior high school, do you know that feeling? What you thought you could make up for with hard work is shattered by the word talent. When a mediocre person stops moving forward forever, then he has reached the point where he should perish.
It’s time.”
"You're talking bullshit!" Xia Chuyi couldn't help but reply after listening for a long time.
When she saw Lu Haoran walking towards her, she didn't dodge, she just held on to Huo Yun again, thinking that if he was going to do something random, she would cut him in the face with a sharp knife first.
Lu Haoran stopped and tilted his head to look at her: "What did you say?"
"I said you are talking nonsense! It's no wonder that you are still a disciple of Grand Master Liu Changqing. A dog's mouth can't spit out ivory!"
As soon as Xia Chuyi said these words, he looked at everyone on the stage nervously and twitched their mouths. He felt that this was bullshit, a dog's mouth, and an ivory. This description was really confusing.
However, the person involved obviously didn't care about any logical issues, and he was extremely unhappy and said: "You know nothing about geniuses and mediocre people. When I was born, I was still a five-spirit waste body, a furnace for men to harvest. Now it is not
Have a great time!"
After hearing Xia Chuyi's words, Xuanyuan Hui hurriedly asked the guards and spiritual masters standing around to go to the martial arts field to avoid hearing his disciple say any "shocking" words again.
Even though Yu Chifeng couldn't move, he almost got leg cramps from Xia Chuyi's anger. He tilted his mouth and thought about how to teach this disrespectful little girl a lesson, otherwise it would be hard to get rid of him.
Hate!
But after I got angry, I started to worry again. It's over, it's over, his obedient disciple is so shameless, who will want to marry her in the future?
Why not take advantage of that boy Yuanbao to cling to him and let him make the decision to get the two of them married as soon as possible? Otherwise, when that boy discovers her true identity, no one will fall in love with her.
On the rooftop, Lu Haoran was obviously shocked by Xia Chuyi's quick words, and repeated in a low voice: "Five spirits waste body..."
"Yes, she is just a waste who can't cultivate any attributes, and she is a concubine of a small family. Grandma doesn't care for my uncle. My biological father doesn't care about me and wants me dead. Those brothers and sisters are even more
Needless to say, I have to bully people all day long, and I was almost beaten to death on several occasions. Thanks to my good fortune, I am able to survive until now."
Yuchifeng and Xuanyuan Hui were so shocked that they opened their mouths wide at the same time - had their apprentices lived so miserably before?
A flash of hesitation flashed through Lu Haoran's mind, and then he shook his head in disbelief: "How can you be a five-spirit waste body? The thunder attribute is a foreign spirit root, so you have to start higher than others, otherwise why would there be
Today’s results?”
When Xia Chu saw that Lu Haoran was no longer aggressive and was forced to take two steps back, Xia Chu felt secretly happy.
Seizing the opportunity first is indeed an important means of negotiation.
She curled her lips and sneered, then said: "Uncut jade will always remain uncut jade. If the stone is carefully crafted by skilled craftsmen, it can also become a priceless genuine product. Why don't you ask me? I'm trapped in the spiritual world."
Were you stuck for too long when you were a level 3 teacher? What method did you finally use to break through?"
"I..." Lu Haoran paused.
"Geniuses have their own way of living, and mediocre people have their own way of living. Both types of people have to eat and sleep. What's the essential difference? What's more, you are a direct descendant of such a large family. Even if you are not the eldest son, you will be the eldest son in the future.
There is still a platform for you to display your intelligence and talents. I think as the leader of a family, courage and ambition will always be stronger than strength."
Xia Chuyi spoke a lot, and when Lu Haoran didn't react, he immediately cleared his throat and continued.
"Let's take another example, Master Dean and Master Huo. Who do you think is more powerful between them? If you ask me to say, compared to fighting alone, it must be Master Dean, but when it comes to governing the Imperial Master Academy, it must be Master Master Huo.
If it were left to the dean and master, we might not even be able to eat now."
Xuanyuan Hui put his fist against his mouth and nose and coughed twice awkwardly, and said silently in his heart: Disciple, can you save some face for the master?
Yu Chifeng silently turned his head to the side, thinking that he must not offend this little girl in the future, otherwise she might be able to expose the embarrassing things of his eighteen generations of ancestors to you.
…
When Xia Chu saw that Lu Haoran's expression was full of contradictions, he couldn't help but boldly took two steps closer to him: "Brother Lu, don't get too carried away. You should understand what you are doing now and what you should do in the future...
"
As he spoke, he walked up to him and stared into his eyes closely.
He seemed to be escaping, and his confused look made Xia Chuyi's heart twitch when he saw it, and she thought about reaching out to pull him.
However, before his hands touched him, Lu Haoran immediately reacted violently and pushed her away. She didn't pay attention, but was actually pushed to the ground by the pure force of the push.
Xia Chuyi immediately stood up and prepared to continue her efforts, when she saw a black shadow flashing next to her and rushing towards her.
She subconsciously stretched out her hand to block it, and suddenly felt a coldness in her arm. When she lowered her head, she saw five holes in her clothes, revealing her white arms underneath.
When he raised his head, he saw the sable standing in front of Lu Haoran with an evil look, all its sharp fangs bared, and its gleaming claws scratching a few scratches on the hard black stone.
Xia Chuyi was shocked. If the claw had been even one millimeter closer, her arm would have been destroyed!
And it was obvious that after the sable appeared, Lu Haoran's expression became cold and indifferent, as if she was just a stranger meeting him for the first time.
Xia Chuyi called out "Senior Brother Lu" anxiously, but the sable pounced suddenly. She rolled along the ground to try to avoid the lightning-fast attack.
However, the black mink succeeded in one attack but seemed unwilling to pursue him. His expression seemed to be a bit taboo against Xia Chuyi.
As soon as Xia Chu thought about the sachets on her body, she immediately picked one off and threw it towards the sable. Sure enough, the sable immediately ran to the corner with a "chirp", and Lu Haoran stepped forward and intercepted the sachet.
"Senior Brother Lu, wake up and don't let the bad guys fool you!"
Xia Chuyi still had a few sachets on her waist, so she didn't care about the sable. She quickly took out a handful of scented powder and rushed towards Lu Haoran.
