Can I trust you?
Under the bright sunshine and among the gorgeous flowers, Jin Qi looked directly at Lu Ping and Zi Mu and asked such a question.
His expression is serious and serious. Most of the time, such questions mean trust. But there was no such emotion in Jin Qi's tone. All that could be heard was a question. Expectations? Suspect? None of these emotions that I probably should have had.
So Zimu was at a loss for the third time. The moment he heard it, he was even a little frightened. Because when it comes to trust issues, he had just disappointed last night, and he confided in Huo Ying just after he returned to the Fifth Academy what he smoothly promised Jin Qi to hide. Jin Qi suddenly asked such a question at this time, and Zimu almost thought he was going to pursue it. However, he immediately noticed that Jin Qi's tone did not show any emotion, which made him somewhat confused about the purpose of Jin Qi's question, and he did not dare to answer rashly. But Lu Ping beside him had already spoken without thinking.
"Okay." Lu Ping said.
The speed of this answer surprised Jin Qi. The reason why he didn't show any emotion was because he didn't want the two of them to figure out the intention of his question. Take the opportunity to observe the two of them. As a result, Lu Ping answered so happily that he didn't show any emotion. This was either perfunctory, or he didn't try to figure out Jin Qi's intentions at all, he just regarded it as a simple yes or no multiple choice question. Judging from Lu Ping's serious expression, it was probably the latter.
Jin Qi smiled bitterly.
He felt like he had shot himself in the foot. Now, it was Lu Ping who tested his attitude with his straightforward answers.
"Okay. I didn't make it clear enough." Jin Qi adjusted very quickly, but he didn't want to have such a happy time. The matter is so important that it would be more practical to explain it thoroughly.
"If I can trust you," Jin Qi continued carefully considering his words, "I may ask you to bear difficulties and dangers that you cannot face. Isn't that okay?"
As soon as he said this, his intention was very clear. He had high hopes for Lu Ping and Zi Mu. He wanted to be able to trust both of them.
Zi Mu's heartbeat suddenly began to accelerate. Faced with such a statement from the leader of Tianquan Peak, one of the seven peaks, too many people would feel honored. Most people are looking forward to gaining the trust of such talented people. When have they ever had the pleasure of being rewarded by a talented person?
With such a rush of passion, Zimu almost expressed his stance instantly. But just when the words were about to come out of his mouth, he hesitated.
Even if you say you can, what can you do? With his own abilities, can he be trusted by the leader of Tianquan Peak? this problem. In fact, the test is not just about trust, but also about whether you are worthy of trust and whether you are worthy of being trusted.
When he thought of this, Zi Mu, who knew how much he weighed, suddenly didn't have the courage to say yes. Then there wasn't much time for him to think about it carefully, while Lu Ping was answering without thinking.
"If there is a problem, of course just refuse." Lu Ping said.
"Ah?" This answer made Zimu a little confused, and he looked at Lu Ping blankly. It took Jin Qi a while to come to his senses, and he suddenly smiled bitterly again.
This Lu Ping, he actually thought about the two problems separately. Trust or distrust is one thing; whether I can do what you asked me to do is another. If I can't do it, I will refuse, and this has nothing to do with trust.
This is Lu Ping's logic, but neither Zi Mu nor Jin Qike think this way. It's not just them either. Everyone would probably have the same thinking logic as Jin Qi and Zimu, but Lu Ping's logic was absolutely non-mainstream.
As for why Lu Ping has such a non-mainstream logic, Jin Qi has also realized it.
Because in their normal minds, everyone has an identity, just like their level. As the first disciple of Tianquan Peak, he has a high status and a high level. Therefore, his trust has become a great luxury for the low-level people. The low-level people who get this trust will naturally reciprocate the favor. Zi Mu would hesitate. It was because he felt that he was too low-level and could not get back the plum after eating the peach.
But Lu Ping had no such intention, because he didn't take the trust of the leader of Tianquan Peak seriously at all. He was only speaking from his own perspective. What others see as luxury seems to him to be literal. So he responded in the affirmative and didn't think it was anything at all. Reciprocate favor? Lu Ping had this attitude, but the problem was that he didn't see Tao Zi at all.
After understanding Lu Ping's mentality, Jin Qi suddenly felt helpless.
He has the ability to kill Lu Ping with just one slap. But it doesn't have the ability to change a person's mind. He was very surprised how this young man developed such a pure and unconventional concept.
But the conversation had come to this point, and Jin Qi had to continue no matter what. He straightened his expression and watched the two of them speak again.
"I discovered some problems during last night's incident," Jin Qi said. "I'm still not sure of the extent of the situation, but if we consider it from the most serious perspective, I dare not deny that Beidou College is in danger of being subverted. ."
Beidou College, subverted?
Zi Mu's eyes suddenly widened. Beidou College, one of the four major colleges, which is so high up there and even transcends the rule of the three empires, is facing the crisis of being overthrown?
At any time, Zi Mu would only regard this as a joke, an extremely ignorant joke. Even if it is said that the other three of the four major colleges have been subverted, there may still be a little bit of credibility. Beidou College, currently speaking of influence, surpasses the other three colleges because Lu Chenfeng is here, and because there is a top powerhouse who has all five souls.
But now, it was Jin Qi, one of the first disciples of Qifeng, who said this, so Zi Mu couldn't help but believe it.
Beidou Academy, being subverted?
Zimu repeated in his heart, he was actually going to be involved in such an earth-shattering event? Zi Mu felt his eyes go dark and his legs felt a little weak. He reluctantly prevented himself from fainting to the ground.
His appearance naturally fell in Jin Qi's eyes, and he suddenly felt dumbfounded. Is it possible that Beidou Academy could be overthrown? Such a big thing is pinned on a young man who is still sensing the environment? Jin Qi felt a little dizzy when he thought about it. At the moment, he is just being cautious and wants to find someone he can trust as a helper. He has no intention of relying on these two to save Beidou Academy. He doesn't know if he is thinking too much or is it just a crisis like Beidou Academy being overthrown. It scared him...
Zimu reacted strongly, but what about the other side? Jin Qi looked at Lu Ping, only to see Lu Ping looking at Zi Mu with concern: "What's wrong with you?"
In his eyes, Beidou Academy being overthrown was not as serious as his friends being shocked?
Jin Qi, who saw Lu Ping's reaction, immediately made a judgment.
So of the two people in front of me, one was overwhelmed and the other was dismissive...
Jin Qi regretted coming to these two people.
