You can't have your cake and eat it too. Although the sect's promise to new disciples is valid for life, Shen Qiqi always feels that this promise is too good.
The more beautiful something is on the surface, the greater the hidden trap underneath.
This is the truth that Shen Qiqi summed up in her previous life.
However, other disciples obviously didn't think so like her. When they heard that they could practice in the sect for a period of time and then come over to choose weapons, many of them thought of "coming back next time".
The white-bearded old man glanced across the faces of these people and said with a smile: "Should I go in now and pick out a magic weapon and use it, or should I go back and practice hard for a while to improve my cultivation level? , and then come over to choose a more powerful magic weapon. This is a very important thing, so you must think about it carefully."
After he finished speaking, he took out a stick of incense from his storage bag and lit it.
"I have also come from your age. I understand the mood of you children and know that it is not easy for you. Therefore, I will give you a stick of incense to think about it. After all, you only have one chance. You can't just do it casually. Just use it.”
After the old man finished speaking, he inserted the incense candle in his hand into the incense burner, then put the incense burner into the open mouth of Shi Pixiu beside the gate of the castle, and then looked at everyone with a smile.
The gentle and kind look on his face was exactly the same as that of the elders in the family who thought wholeheartedly about future generations.
The new disciple, who had not thought about it at first, couldn't help but be a little shaken when he heard what the old man with the white beard said.
As for those new disciples who were already interested, they are now more determined to come back next time and are about to quit immediately.
But at this moment, someone suddenly said: "Wait a moment."
Shen Qiqi walked out of the crowd, stopped those people, and advised: "You can't have your cake and eat it too. I suggest that if you can go in, it's better to go in today instead of waiting until next time." The word "time" is too unreal."
In fact, what she wants to say is that you should not be too greedy. Take it as soon as you can. Most greedy people will get nothing in the end.
It's just that these words are too straightforward. If you say them outright, you won't be able to express your good intentions, and others will roll their eyes.
That's why Shen Qiqi used a euphemistic way of saying it.
But even so, there were still some people who didn't appreciate it. Qiu Changfeng sneered and said, "What she said sounded very nice. I think she clearly wants to take advantage of us. This Shen Qiqi, I didn't expect that she is not only sharp-tongued, but also sharp-tongued. It’s also very hypocritical.”
The voice was not loud, it sounded like someone was whispering - which was indeed the case.
The one who was so angry was none other than Qiu Changfeng, who had just been scolded by Shen Qiqi in the main hall.
The person he whispered to was his newly recognized junior sister Shen Ning'er.
It can be said to be a whisper, but the sound is not ambiguous at all, and it is guaranteed to be heard by everyone around him.
Shen Qiqi naturally heard it too.
If it were another person, she would probably be able to tolerate this kind of ridicule - when the sun is bright, some people will say it is warm, while others will say it is dazzling. Even the sun cannot make everyone like it, let alone her. Woolen cloth?
But it would be a different matter if the people who said this were Qiu Changfeng and Shen Ning'er - she would compare.
Still care about it fiercely.
These two people had just been pointed at and scolded by her in the main hall. How long had passed since then, and they began to become restless again. They really didn't remember spanking at all.
Since she didn't remember to hit her, don't blame her for being rude.
Shen Qiqi narrowed her eyes and looked at Qiu Changfeng and Shen Ning'er who were fifty or sixty steps away from her.
——From such a long distance, she could clearly hear the whispers of the two senior brothers and sisters. This shows how sincere the whispers of these two people were, almost as if they were directly plugged into her ears.
Qiu Changfeng originally wanted to tell Shen Qiqi on purpose, but when he saw her looking over, instead of saying bad things about anyone behind his back, he was embarrassed when he was caught by the person involved. Instead, he raised his eyebrows at her provocatively.
"Shen Qiqi, why are you looking at me with such unconvinced eyes? Isn't what I said the truth? You are being hypocritical!"
"You can spread rumors and refute them, but you will lose your legs. Mr. Qiu opened his mouth and said that I am hypocritical. Then Mr. Qiu, please explain clearly and make me understand. May I ask: Why am I hypocritical? Where is the hypocrisy? Just because of me. Would you like to advise everyone not to have the idea of 'come back next time'?"
"That's right." Qiu Changfeng snorted coldly: "You can't have your cake and eat it too, that's nice to say. You're afraid that you'll be ejected later because your cultivation level is not enough. In order not to embarrass yourself. It's too eye-catching, so I want to recruit more people to accompany you to embarrass you... You clearly want to take advantage of others, but you still have to put on a face that is good for others. Shen Qiqi, if you are pretending to be public for personal gain, what else is it if it's not hypocrisy? ?I was so blind before that I thought you were pretty good."
As Qiu Changfeng spoke, he shook his head, as if he was ashamed of his blindness.
Shen Qiqi was speechless, thinking in her heart that I should say this -
How blind must she have been before to not fall in love with someone like Qiu Changfeng, who is even worse than a woman with a long tongue!
Shen Ning'er also persuaded her softly: "Qiqi, you heard what the old man said just now. You only have one chance, so you can't waste it. It's okay for you to be impatient, but you can't waste it with everyone. ah."
"Yes, Shen Qiqi, I advise you not to be so selfish," Qiu Changfeng said.
Shen Ning'er said to everyone with an apologetic look: "Qiqi is still young and ignorant, and her behavior is a bit willful. If she did something wrong, I, as the elder sister, will be here to help her." I apologize to you all, and please don’t take her words to heart.”
After she finished speaking, she bowed to everyone.
With such a dignified, steady and polite look, she indeed looks much more reliable than Shen Qiqi.
Thinking about the reputation of the second girl of the Shen family as a good-for-nothing, one person who had been persuaded by Shen Qiqi immediately changed his mind after hearing this. He cupped his fists towards Shen Ning'er and said, "Thank you, Miss Shen, for reminding me."
When she looked at Shen Qiqi, she had a rude look on her face. She didn't even bother to say a word to her. She just bumped her away with her shoulder and walked straight to the old man with the white beard.
"Old man, I want to go back and follow Master first and practice hard for a while. I also want to ask the old man to help me register."
Because Shen Qiqi suddenly jumped out to stop him, the old man with a white beard originally had a very ugly face and an old face. It wasn't until he heard this that his face regained a smile. He stroked his beard and said cheerfully: "Okay. Okay, come on, come on, let’s register first, what’s the young man’s name, and which immortal is he worshiping under?”
One moment it was like someone else was robbing him of a thousand dollars, and the next moment he was as if he had picked up a treasure, smiling so hard that he couldn't see his teeth.
The contrast in attitude before and after is like two completely different people.
Shen Qiqi became more and more sure that there was something wrong with this old man. Seeing that several new disciples had already registered, she hurriedly asked loudly: "Excuse me, old man, how often does this sect's weapons arsenal be opened?"
The old man with a white beard was happily registering. When he heard this, the smile on his face dropped and he stared at her unhappily.
