"Mr. Yin, can you tell me why you are willing to protect me?"
In a quiet house in Jinling City, Liu Chen cupped his hands and asked Yin Ru.
After what happened that day, Liu Chen was thinking about where to stay. After all, it is impossible for the Xuan Deng Sect to go back. The Demonic Dao is extremely scrupulous about the Xuan Leng Sect's background, fearing that he will not be able to hide out if he goes back.
In other places, it is somewhat inappropriate.
And just when Liu Chen was considering whether to live in Prince Ning's Mansion or Yun Dufu's Mansion, Yin Ru actually sent Yan Xin to invite him to stay in his small courtyard.
Liu Chen would naturally not refuse this invitation. Although he was in the middle of both good and evil paths, he had convinced both Mu Yinyin and Prince Ning, and was temporarily unparalleled in power.
But he is also afraid that someone who is not smart will definitely kill him. With his strength, it is difficult to resist so many open and secret arrows.
As a great Confucian, Yin Ru developed a noble and upright spirit. Even the great master's aura will be wiped out under his awe-inspiring righteousness.
With such a guarantee, it would be difficult for others to kill him.
But Liu Chen was confused, why did Yin Ru protect him?
Because Yan Xin said that he would never go back on his friendship? ! This is not realistic! It's not like he and I have a close relationship. How could he get into such big trouble because of a disciple?
That's right! Although Liu Chen is enjoying great glory at this time, he is also a huge trouble!
Both the good and the evil are staring at him, both have evil intentions, and I don't know how they plot against him. If you get too close to him, it may affect the fish in the pond. Even as a great scholar, being in the center of such a whirlpool is troublesome.
Why did Yin Ru choose this kind of trouble? I heard that the last thing students at Yingluo Academy want to cause is trouble.
Yan Xin stood aside to wait on Yin Ru. He also wondered why the teacher did this and looked at Yin Ru waiting for his answer.
"The saint's heart is impermanent, and his heart is the heart of the people. This used to be my motto, but it's a pity that I am useless as a scholar, and I can't do anything."
Liu Chen was stunned for a moment, and naturally understood the meaning of this sentence, which meant that 'even saints do not have fixed ideas, they always follow the will of the people', which meant that they should pay attention to the people.
In other words, Yin Ru will protect him because he saves the people?
"Are you surprised to hear this? In your opinion, all the practitioners and superiors in Jinling ignore the ordinary people, and no one cares about the lives and thoughts of these ordinary people."
Liu Chen was silent, he really thought so.
For example, Zhao Lei, Yun Mei, etc., they are all kind-hearted characters. But they still don't care much about ordinary people. This is not their fault, but the knowledge of this era has limited them. In such an environment, this is what happens naturally.
It's like ancient people couldn't understand that modern people don't distinguish between grains. Every world has its own concepts. Liu Chen can understand their limitations and does not feel that the people in this world are any different.
As for what Liu Chen did, it was just because he grew up under the red flag and the influence he received made him recognize the concept of equality in his bones. Therefore, if he could, he would save whatever he could.
"Liu Chen, your understanding of us is wrong. Although the world seems to have returned to the old rule of the strong being respected. But everything the Saints have done is not in vain. There are too many traces of them in this world. , for example, no matter how much people in the world pursue strength, their hearts have already recognized the concepts of benevolence, righteousness, loyalty, filial piety, integrity, shame, and trust put forward by the saints. Just like you saved many people this time. Countless practitioners in Jinling, in their hearts I still admire you."
Liu Chen looked at Yin Ru and wondered, "What do you mean, sir, when you tell me this?"
Yin Ru looked at Liu Chen and said, "I just want to tell you that the fire that the Saints planted in the hearts of the world is still there, and some people are still persisting."
This sentence made Liu Chen feel extremely stressed. What did Yin Ru mean by this... was he adhering to the ideals of the saint clan? Consider yourself a like-minded partner?
God, he is not that great. He just does things that are in line with his own values and has nothing to do with the ideals of the Saints.
Don't get me wrong!
The Saint Clan was so powerful and was destroyed. If he continues to follow the path of the Saint Clan, isn't he seeking death?
He just did what he could, but he never thought about changing the world. How can one person change the entire world? !
So Liu Chen answered Yin Ru: "Sir, I am actually the same as everyone else. I just want to practice to become stronger and seek immortality. As for other ideas, I don't have any other ideas."
After hearing this, Yin Ru nodded and said: "The saints back then were too upright and failed. If they could be gentle, it might be a different result. It's good that you can absorb the other party's failure experience and act tactfully."
"..." Liu Chen swallowed his saliva and explained to Yin Ru seriously, "Sir, I just help the people for peace of mind and have nothing to do with the saint clan."
"That's right! This is the attitude you want towards the outside world!" Yin Ruhuai said consolingly.
"..."
Liu Chen didn't want to explain anymore, he was a little tired.
Yan Xin stood aside, feeling extremely shocked. He did not expect that Liu Chen would actually inherit the legacy of the Saint Clan. What a big heart and courage.
Thinking of the glory and greatness of the Saint Clan back then, Yan Xin suddenly felt excited and he was willing to work hard with Liu Chen.
However, when Yan Xin's eyes turned to Yin Ru, he was startled again.
For the first time, he knew that his teacher was a great scholar who loved the saints and followed in their footsteps.
With the teacher's status in Yingluo College, does that mean that Yingluo College is also following in the footsteps of the Saints?
Yingluo Academy has been keeping a deaf ear to what is going on outside the window these years, and has only been reading the books of sages. Is it because of this?
Yin Ru patted Liu Chen on the shoulder and said: "You have to become a grandmaster as soon as possible. Only when you become a grandmaster can you have a real say in Jinling. Otherwise, even if King Ning gives you the right, it will only be a fake power, and it cannot last too long. For a long time. Moreover, Jinling needs a master lamplighter."
After Yan Xin heard this, he muttered to the side: "Teacher, how can a grandmaster achieve such great achievements? At Brother Liu's age, it is quite remarkable that he can reach this level."
Yin Ru sighed: "Having said that, time can't wait. If you don't become a master, you will wait until the temple is truly opened. They will no longer care about you, and you won't even have a chance to resist."
But Liu Chen heard another important point and asked Yin Rudao: "What does the gentleman mean when he said that Jinling needs a master lamplighter?"
"When you become a Grandmaster, you will naturally know. When you become a Grandmaster, I will give you a great gift." When Yin Ru said this, his expression was extremely solemn.
Liu Chen was stunned, suddenly curious about Yin Ru's gift.
It seems that it is not that difficult for him to become a master. Because... he also has the essence of a ninth-grade grandmaster.
Otherwise, when the injury heals, I can show them my achievements by the way.
