Both Wan Zhang and Xunzi were dressed in Confucian attire, but Xunzi was a Confucian outsider and a Dharma scholar at the same time, and his temperament was a bit more stern, while Wan Zhang had a strong momentum, and his eyes were as deep as the sea, unfathomable.
Wan Zhang and Xun Zi looked at the disciples leaving and showed happy smiles. At the same time, they looked at each other in tacit understanding.
But where their eyes converged, there seemed to be swords and swords, and a battle like lightning and thunder.
Until the four people completely disappeared from their sight.
The two began today's debate.
"Senior brother, how can I be willing to give up this disciple to me?" In the elegant emerald green dojo, Xunzi frowned and asked first.
He is not someone who gives up easily.
When it comes to teaching students, he will never give in to an old nerd like Wan Zhang.
"There are countless geniuses in the Little Sage Manor. Junior Brother, I can accept whoever I want as my disciple."
If you don't think it's satisfying, just take it all, why bother holding on to Wei Yan?" Wan Zhang stroked his beard and looked at Xunzi seriously.
"Hahaha, what senior brother said is true. There are countless geniuses in the Little Sage Village. Senior brother already has three outstanding disciples, Fu Nian, Yan Lu, and Zhang Liang. Why don't you give Wei Yan to me?
It is also good for my junior brother to have a legacy." Xunzi also replied not to be outdone.
"Junior brother, you are joking. You have two disciples. Han Feizi is talented and has written many books. He is one of the most famous disciples in the world.
What's more, Ying Zheng did not hesitate to send troops to Korea for Han Feizi. Although he was eventually killed by Qin, his name can already be remembered in history.
Junior brother's disciple Li Si has now become the official official of the Qin Kingdom. He is a popular figure in front of the King of Qin. Now, the power of Qin to unify the nine states is unstoppable. By then, Li Si will surely rise to the top and rise to the top.
Junior brother, who do you want to inherit your mantle?" Wan Zhang looked at Xunzi in front of him, his hair and beard all open.
“My Confucianism emphasizes that literature can stabilize the country, military power can control the country, be both civil and military, and have generals and prime ministers;
Han Fei and Li Si are both incapable of martial arts, my junior brother is heartbroken!" Xunzi waved his sleeves and said to Wan Zhang.
"Hey, junior brother, why bother forcing me?
Although Confucianism and Mohism are ranked as "the most prominent schools in the world", the world is about to be unified and a new era is coming. In such a turbulent era, it is the era when Confucianism needs the emergence of geniuses!
Junior Brother, Senior Brother, I beg you to teach a few less Legalist talents and leave a few mainstays for the literati, Confucian and Xia Qingliu in the world!" Wan Zhang also said with a heartbroken look on his face.
Suddenly, the atmosphere fell into silence.
"How can senior brother give in?" Xunzi said straight to the point.
Wan Zhang was silent for a long time.
"Junior brother, why don't you and I play a game of chess? If you beat me, I will not accept Wei Yan as my disciple." Wan Zhang suddenly said to Xunzi.
This made Xunzi very happy.
Playing chess? Is this a stinky chess player like senior brother?
Senior brother has changed his gender?
Losing eight games in a row isn't enough?
"Senior brother, has he forgotten that he suffered repeated defeats and lost eight games in a row?" Xunzi asked Wan Zhang.
"Of course I haven't forgotten. Although senior brother is old, he is not forgetful." Xunzi said, but then he changed the topic: "But junior brother made a mistake in one sentence."
"Wrong? What's wrong?" Xunzi put one hand behind his back and looked at Wan Zhang with some confusion.
"It's not about repeated defeats, but repeated defeats." Wan Zhang said calmly.
As if previous failures were not worth mentioning.
Both of them stood still, staring at each other.
The dojo was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop on the ground.
If the sleeves of the two of them weren't fluttering slightly, it would have made people feel as if time had stood still.
a long time.
"Then I will teach my senior brother the king of chess again." Xunzi said calmly.
But his eyes were full of passion this time.
"Junior brother, please."
"Senior brother, please."
…
Inside the Little Saint’s Villa.
Fu Nian, Yan Lu, Wei Yan, and Zhang Liang walked to a bridge.
I have to say, the scenery here is extremely beautiful.
The jade railings are carved with gold, red and blue as the main colors, with blue sky above and clear water below.
Although it is winter, it is covered with a layer of snow-white decoration, but it makes it even more elegant.
Dare to use the name "sage", even if a small word is added before, it is not without reason after all.
"Three junior brothers." Walking to the bridge, Fu Nian said.
"Senior brother, please speak." The three of them said almost in unison.
After finishing speaking, the four of them looked at each other a few times.
"Zhang Liang, Junior Brother Yan Lu, please make arrangements for Junior Brother Wei Yan's food and lodging. Senior Brother will be in seclusion for a few days." Fu Nian said to the three of them.
"Senior brother, don't worry!" Yan Lu and Zhang Liang said in unison.
"Wei Yan, thank you, senior brother, for your concern," Tian Yan said calmly.
Fu Nian immediately turned around, but after walking a few steps, he turned back.
"By the way, I still have something to ask Junior Brother Yan Lu to do for me." Fu Nian said.
"Senior brother, please speak." Yan Lu said to Fu Nian.
"Zixing didn't listen carefully in class. I'll punish him by transcribing one hundred articles. He should hand them in tomorrow. You can collect them for me."
There is also Zi Xian, his Book of Songs is not up to standard, you should give him some advice, Zi Wen's grades in imperial classes are too poor, let him practice more diligently," Fu Nian said.
"Yes." After hearing the large number of instructions from his senior brother, Yan Lu said helplessly.
"As for the Book of Songs these days, I have troubled my junior brother to talk about it." Fu Nian continued.
"Junior brother understands." Yan Lu said to Fu Nian.
After that, Fu Nian left, this time he really went to retreat.
Tian Yan watched all this with his mouth agape.
Yan Lu shrugged, made a helpless expression, and then stretched his waist.
"Second Senior Brother, you go and do your work first. Today, all the disciples have classes for you to attend.
As for Junior Brother Wei Yan's affairs, Junior Brother can just arrange it." Zhang Liang said to Yan Lu.
"Yeah." Yan Lu nodded, turned and left.
He does have a lot of things to do. The first thing is to give lectures.
Looking at him wearing a white Confucian uniform and walking in a cool and steady pace, and Fu Nian wearing a dark green Confucian uniform and walking away with elegant steps.
"Senior brother, he is like this, but he is indeed a good teacher." Zhang Liang looked at Tian Yan and said with a gentle smile.
"Well! I didn't expect that Mr. Fu Nian, who is famous in Qilu, has such a side." Tian Yan regained his mood and said calmly.
At that time, Fu Nian was very much like the head teacher who gave instructions to the substitute teacher in his previous life.
"Junior brother Wei Yan, come with me. Senior brother will arrange accommodation for you." Zhang Liang smiled upon hearing this and said to Tian Yan.
"Excuse me, senior brother." Tian Yan replied in a neither humble nor overbearing manner.
"Among me, Senior Brother Yan Lu, and Senior Brother Fu Nian, Senior Brother Fu Nian is the best at internal strength. From my experience, his internal strength is top-notch in the world and he has few rivals among his peers.
Junior Brother Wei Yan is at least ten years younger than Senior Brother Fu Nian, yet he can actually surpass Senior Brother Fu Nian by a head in internal strength. It is really impressive." Zhang Liang turned his head and praised Tian Yan.
He really thinks Tian Yan is a very powerful person.
