Ye Feng continued: "Huizi died before Zhuangzi. Zhuangzi had this story in history about his bad friend:
"When Zhuangzi passed Huizi's tomb during his funeral, Gu said to his followers: "The people of Ying are so proud that the end of their nose looks like a fly's wing, so they have the craftsmen cut it off with stones. The craftsman carries the stone in the wind, listens and chops it, the stone is used up without hurting the nose, and the Ying people stand without losing their appearance. When the emperor of Song and Yuan Dynasties heard about it, he summoned the craftsman Shi and said, "Try to do it for me." Carpenter Shi said: "I can chop it off." Although, I have been dead for a long time. 'Since Huizi's death, I have no pledge! I have nothing to say.
"The translated meaning is: Zhuangzi passed Huizi's grave during the funeral, and turned around and said to his followers: "There was a man in Yingdu who accidentally let a speck of white ash stick to his nose. This white ash was as thin and thin as a fly's wing. Small, he asked a stonemason to chip it off for him. The stonemason swung the axe, and the wind whistling with the axe, let the ax swing towards the nose, all the mud spots were removed but the nose was unharmed, the Yingdu man stood still, his expression unchanged. After Song Yuanjun heard about this, he summoned the stonemason and said, "Try to do it again for me." The mason said: "I did once cut off the mud spots on the tip of my nose, but now my opponent has been dead for a long time!" 'Since my husband passed away, I no longer have an opponent. I can no longer find anyone to argue with!
"This is a true friend."
After saying that, Ye Feng's eyes were gloomy, his expression was solemn, and he was silent for a long time. A feeling of loneliness and sadness spread around him, corroding the world. Ye Feng looked into the distance. This time, Ye Feng did not offer wine to Mr. Yangming. Instead, he picked up a bowl of wine by himself, looked into the distance, and slowly sprinkled the wine on the roof at his feet from left to right.
At this moment, Mr. Yangming just looked at Ye Feng calmly. It seemed that the person Ye was toasting to this time was a deceased friend, and he should be a very important person to him. As for who it was, Mr. Yangming didn’t know, and Ye Feng didn’t say either. No one knows who Ye Feng is paying homage to. After all, Ye Feng has lost a lot, no, he has lost too much.
. . .
Ye Feng and Mr. Yangming discussed the wine like this. I don’t know how long it took before the two of them dispersed. Ye Feng sent Mr. Yangming back to the thatched house in the courtyard of Liangzhi Jade Book Space. As soon as Mr. Yangming touched the bed, he fell asleep. It seems that Mr. Yangming returned home with great joy this time and drank happily.
. . .
A few days later, Xiruo received in Mingde Hall the deans of several colleges adjacent to Yangming Academy, as well as several academies that were not adjacent to each other, or even far apart, and that Xiruo had not dealt with before. Dean. It is conceivable that the latter should have been called together by the adjacent deans.
It was also the first time for Xiruo to see so many deans, there were about thirteen deans. This can be regarded as the biggest incident in Yangming Academy in the past hundred years. Under the command of the vice-deans behind the deans, entourages from each college brought in large boxes one by one and opened them one by one in front of Xiruo. They were all full of gold or rare treasures. Rare treasure.
Xiruo and Meijiu have never seen so many treasures. Although the two of them had thought in the past few days that the other party would bring some gifts politely, they never expected that it would be such a grand gift. Mei Jiu's eyes were shining, and she almost lost control and rushed forward to hug the treasures. Xiruo was appointed by Ye Feng to handle all matters today, so she always reminded herself to maintain an image of neither being humble nor being overbearing.
Xiruo and Mei Jiu really want to know how Ye Feng communicated with these deans a few days ago? Because these deans changed their usual solemn and majestic image and looked like those flattering villains with smiles on their faces. It has to be said that Xi Ruo and Mei Jiu are still not used to these changes. After all, Xiruo had dealt with some of the deans before. For example, the deans of the neighboring colleges, because Xiruo came to ask the other party not to take away the land deeds. But those people now greet them with smiles and flattery.
However, the uncomfortable expressions on Xi Ruo and Mei Jiu's faces meant something else in the eyes of these deans. They thought that these two adults were dissatisfied with the gifts they brought, so they hurriedly said that these were just because Due to lack of manpower, we cannot bring them all at once, and the rest will be delivered later.
Xi Ruo understood that they must have misunderstood something. You must know that these are the absolute existences in their respective colleges, but now they are only submissive here. It is really unimaginable.
So Xiruo said straight to the point:
"Seniors, the new dean of Yangming Academy, Dean Ye, is in retreat recently, so he is unable to meet you in person. Please bear with me, senior deans. If you have anything to say, you can tell the juniors, and I will definitely convey it to you."
When the deans saw that the other party had already spoken about this, they were somewhat dissatisfied that the dean did not come out to receive him in person, but sent a little girl instead. But this time, they didn't dare to show it on their faces. After all, the situation was stronger than the other party. If the other party wanted to destroy their own academy, it would take a lot of effort to even take a breath.
So a person who should have been selected in advance as the dean representative of the 13 colleges stood up. Xiruo knows him. His name is Fan Baoming. He is the dean of Minghong Academy. He is also the most respected among the 13 deans of the academy. He is also the only one among this group of people who is not flattering.
Fan Baoming said: "Miss Xiruo, since Dean Ye is in retreat and cannot come, then I will give Yangming Academy a guarantee on behalf of everyone."
Xi Ruo was slightly startled when he heard this and sat upright.
Fan Baoming said solemnly: "If Yangming College wants to establish a college alliance, Minghong College, on behalf of 13 colleges, will announce that it will join the alliance formed by Yangming College. Even if Dean Ye has no intention of establishing an alliance, then the 13 colleges will Take Yangming Academy’s lead and look forward to it. Miss Wang Xiruo will tell Dean Ye the wishes of our academies.”
The reason why there is an organization like the College Alliance is naturally because if weak colleges want to survive, isn't it a normal choice to join forces?
At this moment, Xiruo finally understood what Ye Feng had said: In a world where the jungle prevails, the strong will definitely bully the weak. Even though strong men like Ye Feng promised not to bully them, they themselves do not believe that "the strong will not bully the weak." "This kind of thing. Now they are just afraid that Yangming Academy, which was once bullied but has now turned around, will retaliate against them, so that's why today's scene happens.
This world is like this, very realistic and very cruel. When you are the weakest, there are the most bad people in the world and you are the most vulnerable to being wronged. Because you are weak, there is no price for bullying you. And when you are strong, the whole world will smile at you
There are many things in life that you have to do. Doing it reluctantly when you have to do it is destruction; doing it well when you have to do it is wisdom.
