Not long after Ye Feng went to take the assessment, Xiruo made an excuse and left the reception hall of the Academy Management Department. Xiruo is looking for her senior brother Jiang Yunhe. There were some things she had to confirm with Jiang Yunhe personally.
Soon Xiruo found the human resources department where Jiang Yunhe worked. Nowadays, Jiang Yunhe is young and promising, and he is in a high position. It is the time when he is proud of himself.
At this time, Jiang Yunhe was sitting in the main seat, while Xiruo was sitting in the guest seat, her face was gloomy, her head was lowered and she was silent.
Jiang Yunhe was not surprised by Xi Ruo's expression. After all, Xi Ruo had this expression every time he came here.
After the people served tea to Xiruo and Jiang Yunhe, just when Jiang Yunhe was still pretending to say some polite words, Xiruo suddenly asked: "Do you have a share in the abolition of Yangming Academy, Senior Brother?"
Hearing this, Jiang Yunhe, who was originally smiling, stopped smiling instantly, and the smile on his face immediately disappeared, replaced by a face that became colder and colder. It seems that Xi Ruo has already found out about her affairs. In this case, there is no need to lie to her.
Jiang Yunhe raised the corner of his mouth slightly and sneered: "I not only have one copy, but I was the one who proposed and advocated for the abolition of Yangming Academy half a year in advance."
Xiruo's eyes widened instantly and she couldn't believe what Jiang Yunhe said. Even though Xiruo had already prepared that her senior brother might be involved in the abolition of the academy, she never expected that the abolition was proposed and advocated by her most respected senior brother.
"Why?" Xiruo pursed her lower lips and said with a trembling voice.
The sneer on Jiang Yunhe's face became heavier and he said: "Why? Haven't you heard that sentence? Hard work is worthless in front of talent. I was obviously the hardest working person in the college. But just because I have no talent, and The third junior brother is so talented that he can easily be better than me. Therefore, in that competition that year, Master only chose the third junior brother and not me. Why is that?"
As Jiang Yunhe spoke, his resentment became deeper and deeper as he spoke.
At the time of that incident, Xiruo was less than 2 years old, so naturally she didn't know anything. Later, Mei Jiu slowly told Xi Ruo the truth. It turns out that the Great Xia Dynasty discovered a secret entrance in Middle-earth, leading to an extremely dangerous unknown area.
As the saying goes, "Wealth and wealth are sought in danger". In order to stand up under the oppression of the eight major sects and to take advantage of the opportunity, the Great Xia Dynasty issued an order to recruit outstanding talents from various academies to explore the unknown territory, and every day Each college must recommend one person to participate. But even a fool can see that if you go there, you will have a narrow escape from death. They say you are recruiting talents, but in fact you are selecting a death squad. For this reason, the Great Xia Dynasty will naturally give generous rewards. It is clear in the order of meritorious service that if you participate in the exploration of the secret realm, even if you just come back safely, you can obtain an official position in the court. If you can make great contributions, you will be rewarded based on your merits, and you will be promoted to an official position. .
The reason why Xiruo's father asked the third senior brother to go was because the third brother had rich experience in exploring secret realms in his early years, so he had a greater chance of coming back alive than the other senior brothers. The third senior brother naturally understood the master's intentions, so he was willing to sacrifice for his fellow senior brothers. But his sacrifice turned sour in the eyes of some people. Just like Jiang Yunhe, he only saw promotions and promotions, but did not see the narrow escape in the unknown realm.
But you must know that in this world, fish can see the bait but not the hook, and people can see benefits but not harm, so they are lazy.
So Xiruo's father knew very well that if Jiang Yunhe was really allowed to go, he would die. Even though Xiruo's father explained to Jiang Yunhe many times, Jiang Yunhe still didn't let go.
As a result, the third senior brother died in the secret realm, which finally made Jiang Yunhe feel better, but at the same time, Jiang Yunhe hated Xiruo's father and Yangming Academy.
. . .
Xiruo said hurriedly: "Elder brother, it's not like that, my father..."
"That's enough!" Jiang Yunhe shouted: "It's all the past, little junior sister, I have gradually understood some truths over the years.
"In this world, no one will care about your hard work, no one will care about your downfall, and no one will care about your loneliness. They will only look at where you stand in the end and what achievements you have achieved, and then decide Envy or despise you.
“Until you get the result of success, your efforts are nothing. Only success can prove the value of your efforts.
"Although we often say that heroes cannot be judged by their success or failure, heroes are often successful. So the result is the most important. The process is not important at all.
"It's like the third child died there, but I'm still alive and have climbed to the heights I am today. This is the result, and the result says everything. And after your father disappeared, Yangming Academy fell into this state, and this is also the result. The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. In this world of jungle and survival of the fittest, losers and weaklings have no right to live. Yangming Academy will soon perish. Whether you admit it or not, these are all It's not up to you. Even if I send you to Yangming Academy for the last time, you have no right to complain, because I am the winner and you are the loser. Do you understand?"
Xiruo's eyes were red. She had never thought that the senior senior brother she respected the most had changed. That was wrong, or she had never recognized the real senior senior brother before. But now the senior brother has his mind twisted by resentment. But the so-called "success" in reality has made it possible for the master to never return.
Xiruo's voice was a little hoarse and she said loudly and stubbornly: "Yangming Academy will not disappear!"
Hearing this, Jiang Yunhe sneered and said: "It won't disappear, why? Just because of that trash named Ye Feng, that outsider who can only stay for 10 years and must leave? Master, he has been in business for a hundred years, but Yangming Academy is still sunset. , what ability does he have to change everything in 10 years?"
"Ye Feng is not a waste!" Xi Ruo cried a little.
And Jiang Yunhe sneered: "A person who doesn't seize the opportunity to climb up when he encounters an opportunity. What else is this kind of person but a waste? If such a waste becomes the dean of Yangming Academy, can Yangming Academy be brought back to life? However, Seeing that you and I are from the same family, if you are willing to come to my place as my concubine, I won't mind giving you a meal."
"You!" Xiruo was so angry that she couldn't speak, her whole body was shaking, and her tears couldn't stop flowing down. Suddenly, a warm hand from nowhere was placed on Xiruo's head.
"When did I, the apple of my eye at Yangming Academy, end up being reduced to being a concubine for trash?"
Ye Feng didn't know when he appeared beside Xi Ruo, and Jiang Yunhe, who had a high level of cultivation, was also startled.
Ye Feng looked at Jiang Yunhe and said, "You know a lot of truths, but truths lead people to do good and do good, and they do not allow you to do evil with peace of mind. If a person is wholeheartedly devoted to kindness, it will be the same even if he is illiterate or does not understand the truths. You can be upright and respected by others. But if you are like you, even if you understand all the principles in the world, you are still rubbish."
