The most valuable thing about a person is self-knowledge, but the other party did not see Xia Lingxuan's thoughts. Instead, he continued to praise Xia Lingxuan and belittle Fang Ruhai.

"Master Fang seems to be decent and polite on weekdays, but how can he have different thoughts about such remarks today? But maybe there is something that seems to be painstaking study of knowledge on the surface, but even the most basic etiquette and morality are ignored. The monarch and his ministers I don’t even understand the difference, and it’s such an act of transgression that people have mixed feelings in their hearts!”

Fang Ruhai raised his eyebrows slightly with a hint of disdain in his eyes, he was just a troublemaker, and he openly provoked himself on such an occasion.

"It is said that Mr. Fang's knowledge is so extraordinary, but why can't he see anything extraordinary today? Even in front of His Highness the Crown Prince, he couldn't tell anything. Instead, he was stubborn and stubborn. The old stubbornness of not making progress.”

Even a fool could tell that there was something in the other party's words. It was not clear that he wanted to show that Fang Ruhai had not only lost etiquette just now, but also had a false reputation as Caixuelang and was not worthy of being a third-grade official here.

Fang Ruhan laughed when he heard what the other person meant. Especially when he saw Xia Lingxuan's calm face and no intention of drawing a clear line with the other party, he felt a wave of contempt in his heart.

He really gave Xia Lingxuan a high look, but he didn't expect that he was just a shallow person who loved to listen to flattery. However, with his status, he naturally disdained the fight with villains like Wang Lin.

"It was a pleasure to argue with His Highness the Crown Prince today, but some people would rather improve their abilities than put their thoughts on how to suppress their colleagues. A disdainful skin is full of straw, and there is no real power. Sooner or later, knowledge will be discovered through false pretenses."

Fang Ruhai, who was sneering, had long since lost the admiration in his eyes.

"I have gained a lot today, so I will temporarily retire."

Fang Ruhai paid his respects to Nanzhu and then said goodbye without any attachment. Even his attitude towards Xia Lingxuan was not the same as before. At this moment, Xia Lingxuan suddenly felt a little depressed.

Lowering his head slightly, he felt that the heart that already had some exquisite brilliance was dimmed again at this moment.

One-third of the Taoist heart needs Fang Ruhai's approval. His attitude towards Xia Lingxuan was originally very good, but it was precisely because Wang Lin, a villain, was stirring up trouble here and spoiling his own affairs with a quarrel. He was about to be defeated. The lighted Dao Heart was also extinguished at this moment because the other party's favorability declined and he even refused to recognize Xia Lingxuan's character, thus extinguishing most of it.

Xia Lingxuan sighed, feeling like his teeth were itching with hatred.

The worthless straw bag naturally cannot bring him what he wants, but it hinders his pursuit, which makes Xia Lingxuan very angry.

Thinking that his favorite disciple was Jiang Lanzhou, he immediately pulled Jiang Lanzhou over.

Normally, Jiang Lanzhou was very knowledgeable. He had learned a lot from Xia Lingxuan these days. He was deeply impressed by Xia Lingxuan's character. Knowing that there must be some misunderstanding, Jiang Lanzhou immediately stood in front of the teacher.

"I have learned a lot from the teacher in the past few days, and His Royal Highness has brought endless knowledge to the students. Rather than listening to the slander of some villains, it is better to compete with your true skills."

He snorted coldly, his eyes full of disdain. He had long known that Wang Lin had doubts about his master, so Jiang Lanzhou's attitude was not a good one.

Just because Jiang Lanzhou's attitude aroused people's doubts, Xia Lingxuan stood aside silently at this time, but when his eyes shifted to Wang Lin, he just glared fiercely.

Wang Lin actually noticed it, but he didn't expect that Xia Lingxuan also valued Fang Ruhai very much.

"You are my favorite disciple. You have learned a lot these days. Now you have an official by your side. You can better access the court and learn the strengths of adults. However, His Highness the Crown Prince is an old man. I also have some understanding in my heart.”

He no longer dwells on this, and he also knows what Xia Lingxuan means, but now that Jiang Lanzhou has stood up today, although his attitude towards Xia Lingxuan has changed in his heart, he does not want to stay here any longer.

I haven't seen any clues so far, and I don't know if Xia Lingxuan is really like this. Some things should be seen slowly, after all, people's hearts will change over time.

But before leaving, Fang Ruhai took out a long-cherished jade slip from his arms and handed it to Jiang Lanzhou as a token.

"Now I have taken leave to travel to Danzhou for more than half a month. If I gain something, I will sit down with you and other children to discuss the truth. The so-called knowledge is not limited to books. If you want to truly experience it, you have to travel. Mountains, rivers and humanities, feel more vivid things.”

A happy smile appeared on his face, knowing that his apprentice had already started training, and he also knew that Xia Lingxuan would not be limited to the small Imperial College, but would break out of this box to pursue the real path.

Xia Lingxuan saw that the other party had a unique style, and he was very clear about the honors of the powerful. Instead of getting involved in right and wrong and engaging in intrigues to disturb his mind, it would be better to concentrate on practicing.

Even the other party only had morality in his heart, which immediately made Xia Lingxuan look at him with admiration, and he had a little more respect for this kind of real scholar.

If this person can continue to persist in his original intention and go further and further on this road, he will become a great scholar of the generation, and the Taoist spirit he exerts will never be matched by ordinary people. When he is truly famous, profitable and has gained a lot, When the time comes, when the right opportunity comes, he will be taken under his command and become his most effective adviser.

Now that the other party has decided to leave, Xia Lingxuan does not try to persuade him to stay.

"I hope Lord Fang will be able to feel the true knowledge in traveling the mountains and rivers in the future. The truth is simple, meticulous, and rule by doing nothing. I also learned a lot from Lord Fang today."

Xia Lingxuan smiled lightly. If he hadn't had the experience in his previous life, I'm afraid he wouldn't be so knowledgeable.

Although all plans were now disrupted by this guy, and he glared at Wang Lin with hatred for letting him fail, Xia Lingxuan did not continue to be entangled. At worst, he would come to Daru Garden a few more times to hang out with these people in the remaining days. familiar.

After more discussion, the recognition of Taoist heart will be more up to standard, and you can also feel the Taoism in the process of playing with it.

Thinking of this, Xia Lingxuan lost any hesitation, and his eyes were full of hope.

After bidding farewell to everyone, Fang Ru walked away in a hurry on the beach, leaving only a trace of a dashing figure. He was so happy and wanton that people couldn't envy him.

"I hope that all gentlemen will study academically with good intentions and refrain from engaging in intrigues or even slandering colleagues. This is the foundation of being a human being. If a person's character is questionable, how can he gain a foothold here and how can he gain respect?"
