Volume 2 Fengqi Anxi House Chapter 174 Get Up and Do It
"Simple, too simple!"
Director Xu shook his head, "This is not the way to be an official, nor is it the way to behave in the world. It only shows that you are still young. The bustling world is all for profit; the bustling world is all for profit."
"Have Director Xu ever heard of a saying - a gentleman sits down to discuss the Tao, and a young man gets up to practice it?" Lu Jiuzhang said seriously, "My teacher said that I am too idealistic. The world is like this, why don't you just go with the flow?"
"I say: The lotus emerges from the mud and remains unstained. Although the world is like this, we young people should make great ambitions to change the world, rather than changing ourselves to adapt to the world."
"The power of one person is not enough, but the power of a hundred people can change the course of a stream, and the power of ten thousand people can shake mountains... We scholars should understand the way and enlighten our wisdom, we should unite our actions and words, and we should have great ambitions!"
"In the past, the president of Anxi Academy once said that this is flashy and unrealistic. As a Confucian, you should keep your feet on the ground and look wherever you can before moving forward. Don't keep your eyes high above your head, which is unrealistic."
"I say, whether it is flashy or unrealistic, the road is walked step by step by oneself. What does other people's teasing, belittling, or ridicule have to do with me? If I admit my mistake, wouldn't it be in line with the other person's wishes?
Have you admitted that you are flashy, your eyes are too high, and you are unrealistic?"
When you want to do something and are ridiculed by others, you should work harder instead of giving up.
Once you give up, other people's goals will be achieved, and they will think that you are this kind of person even more.
“Wonderful, wonderful!”
Director Xu couldn't help but clapped his hands, "It's a good saying: A gentleman sits down to talk, and a young man gets up to do it. It's better to sit and think than to get up and do it. I wonder who your teacher is?"
"Master Xu, a great scholar!"
Lu Jiuzhang said slowly.
Lu Jiuzhang was extremely respectful to this cheap master.
"Master Xu? Is he the one from the Xu family in Anxi?"
Director Xu was slightly frightened.
If we really want to say it, this Master Xu is the most famous person among the Xu family in Anxi.
That was the emperor's master, and he enjoyed a high reputation throughout the Zhou Dynasty.
Lu Jiuzhang is a student of Master Xu. Doesn’t he belong to the same sect as the new emperor?
The relationship here is somewhat complicated!
Director Xu regretted a little, why didn't he find out about this relationship earlier?
If he had known about it earlier, let alone expelling Lu Jiuzhang from the Demon Slayer Division, he would have been treated as a master.
"Master Xu is also a member of the Xu family in Anxi, and is of the same clan as me." Director Xu said slowly, "I was a little abrupt, and I shouldn't have been so decisive. Although you are young, you are brave enough to slay demons and have great wisdom.
Master Xu appreciates it."
"I believe that you are not the kind of person who bullies men and dominates women and runs rampant in the countryside. Demon Slayer Envoy Lu, please return to the Demon Slayer Division to serve!"
This matter must be dealt with properly.
Let alone the deputy director of the Demon Slaying Department of Anxi Prefecture, even the governor of Beilu County and the high-ranking official of the border area would probably not dare to be too presumptuous when facing Master Xu and his disciples.
After all, their identities are different, and they are seven-rank officials in front of the prime minister.
The boy who shows the prime minister the door has extremely high authority and influence, not to mention that Master Xu is a popular person next to the new emperor?
"Director Xu, if I am asked to return to the Demon Slaying Division because of Master Xu, I will definitely not go back." Lu Jiuzhang said bluntly, "Although Master Xu is my teacher, the teacher is the teacher, and I am me!"
"If I go back to the Demon Slayer Division, I will definitely use other methods to go back instead of using the teacher's face."
Not many people know that Master Xu accepted Lu Jiuzhang as his disciple.
I'm afraid there is only Dean Bai in the entire Anxi Mansion.
With Dean Bai's temperament, he probably wouldn't tell anyone about it.
Therefore, few people know about Lu Jiuzhang's identity, and this is the first time he has revealed it today.
But the reason why I said it was not to use Master Xu's identity as a arrogant one, but to prove myself.
Director Xu still wanted to persuade him, but someone on the side reminded him softly, "Director Xu, what if he is a liar?"
"Nonsense, you said it's just in case, but what if it's not?" Director Xu glared at the man, "If you offend this boy, won't you offend Master Xu as well?"
Don’t be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of what happens!
When things are uncertain, don't make hasty decisions.
"But he refuses to come back. Even after you tried to persuade him, he still refuses to come back."
This is the most troublesome.
It’s understandable that young people want to save face.
Director Xu said, "Don't worry, just try to persuade him again. He's a little emotional now. If he tries to persuade him again, it will arouse his rebellious mentality."
Don't be too hasty, just take your time.
After saying that, Director Xu looked at the corpse of the giant lava beast beside him.
"Ahem... Demon Slayer Master Lu is so powerful that he actually killed a monster at the seventh level of the Demon Dao alone. It was a great achievement. Our Demon Slayer Division also has rewards for monster slayers. If a casual cultivator kills a very powerful monster,
, will reward..."
Halfway through his words, Director Xu couldn't remember.
This rule does exist, but the Demon Slayer Division has basically never used it.
"There will be many rewards. When you return to Anxi Mansion, Demon Slayer Envoy Lu can come to the Demon Slayer Department of Anxi Mansion to receive the rewards." Director Xu said.
"Director Xu, there is no need to call me Demon Slayer, I am now a casual cultivator."
Lu Jiuzhang put the monster into the storage ring, and then said to everyone, "Everyone, I'm leaving first."
After that, Lu Jiuzhang left with the big black dog.
On the way, the big black dog was puzzled, "Jiuye, why don't we take this opportunity to go back to the Demon Slayer Division? It would be a bit troublesome for the two of us to be in the wilderness. We can't eat well or sleep well."
, it’s like following a large army.”
"It's not what I want to go back to the Demon Slayer Division now."
Lu Jiuzhang shook his head, "I don't want to borrow Master Xu's name."
"The other party already knows that you are Master Xu's disciple. Even if you don't want to borrow it, it's too late." The big black dog shook his head and said.
"Don't worry, I naturally have a strong balance in my heart."
Lu Jiuzhang said.
After saying this, Lu Jiuzhang actually had no confidence in his heart.
Having your identity exposed has both advantages and disadvantages.
Lu Jiuzhang's father was also the prince's young master and assisted the prince.
Later, the prince died and was involved in the "King City Blood Corpse Case" and was executed.
Even if Master Xu is a person close to the new emperor, there is no guarantee that he will always be safe.
Accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger, and besides, the new emperor is suspicious.
Master Xu's every move will implicate Lu Jiuzhang.
Lu Jiuzhang's every move will also be observed. If there is any violation, political opponents will inevitably seize the opportunity to attack Master Xu.
Lu Jiuzhang can fully enjoy the aura of Master Xu's student, but will also fall into the turbulent tide.
You just have to follow your heart!
"If you ask me, there's nothing wrong with it. At least with this level of identity, the people behind you have to think carefully if they want to deal with you." The big black dog said.
"That's what I thought too. It's easy to hide from open guns and hard to guard against hidden arrows. If the person monitoring us is killed, the people behind the scenes will definitely send out people again. We can't be on alert 24 hours a day, that would be too tiring!"
