Chapter 182 - 182: Xu Bai Pointing at Fuyin Posthouse (4)
At this moment, a familiar set of footsteps sounded. Liu Xu turned her gaze to the staircase and saw her teacher, Wang Qingfeng, walking up.
“Greetings, teacher.” Liu Xu clasped her hands together and bowed as a disciple.
Wang Qingfeng was holding a large pile of books in his hands. There seemed to be more than ten books. He walked to Liu Xujin and placed the books on the ground.
Liu Xu didn’t understand what he meant, and her big eyes were filled with doubt.
“Paper True Understanding.” Wang Qingfeng said slowly,” This book is even more profound than the paper book. Since you can’t solve the problem by reading ordinary books, then take a look at these.””
As he said that, Wang Qingfeng paused for a moment before taking out another book and handing it to Liu Xu.
“Some autobiographies made by the paper-binding man might be useful to you.”
Liu Xu looked at the book in front of her, her eyes dazed.
She still remembered that when she first advanced from Rank-9 to Rank-8, she had also read about the paper man before she finally succeeded in breaking through.
Now that her teacher had given her a book about paper figurines, she could not help but feel puzzled.
“Teacher, you say… Is this still considered righteous?” Liu Xu thought for a long time and finally decided to ask.
Now, her righteous spirit had long become something else. Although it was also stimulated by scholars, it always felt gloomy.
“Who says it isn’t?” Wang Qingfeng glared at him and said,” Have you forgotten what I taught you in the beginning? You are a scholar. You must have a firm belief in your heart. As long as you believe that you are, then you are. As long as you obtain knowledge from books, then that is your righteous spirit.”
At the end, he added.
“Besides, everyone in the Academy knows about your situation, and none of them deny it. What are you worried about? Are you not confident in yourself?”
When Liu Xu heard this, she flipped open one of the books.
After looking at it for a while, he raised his head.
“Teacher, don’t worry. I’ll stay up all night today to comprehend the principles within. ”
Wang Qingfeng smiled and left without saying anything.
Liu Xu waited for her teacher to leave before bending down to pick up a book. She went to the window and began to burn the midnight oil under the moonlight.
The next day.
Liu Xu walked out of the library early. Her mental state was already different. Usually, she would feel dejected, but now, every step she took was filled with confidence.
“Rank-6 in one night, I didn’t misjudge you.”Wang Qingfeng’s voice came from behind.
Liu Xu stopped in her tracks and turned around, her face full of surprise.
“Teacher, you waited for me outside for the whole night?”
“Let’s go to the dining hall first. We’ll talk as we walk. “Wang Qingfeng did not answer Liu Xu. After passing Liu Xu, he led the way.
Liu Xu thought about it and followed behind.
The two of them strolled in the Qingyun Academy. Neither of them spoke. It
was very quiet.
After a while, Wang Qingfeng seemed to feel that the surroundings were too quiet, so he broke the silence.
“Liu Xu, the Great Chu Country will soon hold an examination. Do you plan to take the examination?”Wang Qingfeng didn’t turn around and asked as he walked, as if he was talking about the past.
Liu Xu said in a low voice,”l don’t plan to. I want to join the Heaven Inspectorate.’”‘
Wang Qingfeng instantly stopped and turned around, his face full of surprise.
Recalling how Liu Xu had gone from Rank-8 to Rank-6 overnight and the reply she had given him, Wang Qingfeng seemed to have thought of something.
“You… After solving the mystery in his heart, he made such a decision?”Wang Qingfeng said.
Liu Xu raised her head and fearlessly met Wang Qingfeng’s gaze. She said, “Teacher, this disciple has been thinking and reading for the entire night. The books you gave me have benefited me greatly. This disciple has realized that I am not a suitable person to be an official.”
Wang Qingfeng fell silent and did not reply. He waited for Liu Xu to continue.
Liu Xu tucked her black hair behind her ears and said in a voice like an oriole, “This disciple’s personality is more suitable for the pugilistic world.” Last night, she had come to a conclusion from those books.
She was different from Yun Zihai. The difference lay in the way they dealt with problems.
Yun Zihai hoped to rely on his official position to fulfill his dream, but Liu Xu was very different.
What Liu Xu hoped for was to solve all the problems in the simplest and most direct way. In other words, she wanted to use a more forceful method.
For example, when he was dealing with the young master of the Lin family, he had disguised himself as a man in black and wanted to kill him.
Therefore, she had already thought it through and made a decision. Wang Qingfeng looked at Liu Xu’s determined gaze and finally sighed.”Up to you.”
Teaching students according to their aptitude and adapting to the local conditions had always been Wang Qingfeng’s way of teaching his students. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have found some paper figurines for Liu Xu to see.
Now that his disciple had made his choice, he naturally respected it, so he did not stop him. At least in his opinion, it was not a bad thing.
“By the way, something big happened to Xu Bai, whom you told me about. “Wang Qingfeng seemed to have thought of something and told him about Xu Bai and King Shengyou. Of course, he was the same. He only knew that Xu Bai was involved in King Shengyou’s incident.
After Liu Xu heard this, she was expressionless, as if she did not find it strange.
“Don’t you feel weird?” Wang Qingfeng asked doubtfully..
