Chapter 351 only discusses right and wrong, not good and evil.
After leaving Huayingting, Zhu Wuyao headed up the mountain.
Standing in front of Shen Anzhi's courtyard, he hesitated for a while before raising his hand to knock on the door.
This place is no different from any other.
Old books, clear tea, people in the courtyard.
A single white hair in Shen Anzhi's hair caught Zhu Wuyao's eye. She paused, then casually walked forward and placed the scroll she was holding on the table.
The Collected Poems of Li Bai
Zhu Wuyao did not memorize all of Li Bai's poems, but it was enough to compile them into this book.
"A poem by a senior."
After a moment of silence, she continued to ask:
"Besides this, is there anything else I can do for you?"
Shen Anzhi had helped her a great deal and never asked for anything in return.
He stood quietly in the courtyard, his gaze fixed on the poetry collection, and after a long while, he spoke:
“My master once said that my good deeds are useless, harmful to myself and of no benefit to the world.”
"Junior Sister Zhu, what do you think of this statement?"
Zhu Wuyao knows the word "Holy Father," but it's not quite appropriate to apply it to him. After all, the Holy Father is someone who uses other people's money to gain a reputation for benevolence.
But Shen Anzhi is not.
He sacrificed his own interests and did not seek fame.
Zhu Wuyao pondered for a moment and said:
"Good deeds and right things are different."
“If evil can have a satisfactory ending, then perhaps it is ‘good’ to others.”
"It is better to focus on right and wrong, without distinguishing between good and evil."
This concept can lead to two directions—the righteous path of Zhang Juzheng, and the wicked path of Xi Jinping.
Shen Anzhi's intentions are very upright, so there's no problem.
-
Song Kezi had regained consciousness.
The reason why Sect Leader Fang labeled him a "rat" was because he knew that the only reason he had been able to keep jumping around like this was because no one had the time to deal with him.
Otherwise, we would not have been able to live in peace until now.
But no matter what, it's still a usable, poisoned dagger, and the owner is a direct disciple of the Star-Picking Pavilion, so we can't just leave it unattended.
Useful people will always be treated well.
The Crystal-Bright Bird has long lingered on the mountaintop of the Star-Picking Pavilion, its feathers growing ever clearer. It flies among the clouds and forests, frequently searching for spiritual fruits.
Shen Xun and A Li are still sleeping peacefully.
The former had Gu Yiguan's instructions, while the latter was separated by a blood feud that had wiped out their sect, so there was no guarantee that trouble wouldn't arise.
The day of the personal disciple assessment arrived quickly.
It's rare to see so many people gathered in front of the Star-Picking Tower.
Shen Xun is currently seriously injured and unconscious, and Zhaixinglou has no intention of waiting for him.
The crowd's gazes frequently fell upon the person under the shade of the tree.
It was Zhu Wuyao who was invited.
"It's probably her..."
"Well, he does deserve the position of a personal disciple. It's better than him falling into someone else's hands. I'm more convinced of that."
"Look at how dejected you all are! We're not without a fighting chance!"
"Have you heard? Yi Tian's reputation has been quite good lately. In fact, he improved his realm and cultivation in the battle against Xiaotian Sect."
"Why didn't Huayingting come?"
"Rumor has it that she's actually from another sect and could be an inner disciple, but the position of direct disciple is naturally in the hands of her own people!"
"Tch—look, he's still here. He's taken the exam several times since he started, but he's never been promoted. He's quite persistent!"
"By the way, Xiao Qingyu might also be a possibility?"
"I think so. If he were capable, he would have done it long ago. Why wait until now?"
……
The group gathered together, discussing who would be chosen as the personal disciple.
Although everyone thought it was almost certainly Zhu Wuyao, it was always good to let people think about it. Moreover, everyone had a vague expectation in their hearts—the expectation that they would be the ones to become his personal disciples.
Ah, I'm so envious...
Not only did this person master the art of divination, but his cultivation also progressed extremely quickly. Within ten years of entering the field, he had already reached the Golden Core stage.
Unfortunately, he only has a mixed spiritual root!
Yi Tian also has mixed spiritual roots.
For this reason, she had considered joining Zhu Wuyao's service, but was rejected several times.
Later, while studying the Purple Qi here, I met Senior Brother Song Kezi by chance. Senior Brother Song was much more approachable and had no airs at all.
It wasn't until she met Song Kezi that she realized—
The one who truly represents the interests of someone like her with less talent should be Senior Brother Song!
Senior Brother Song is stuck in the Foundation Establishment stage for many years because of his extremely poor talent. Even though he is a direct disciple, he is still bullied by Zhang Zhihan and others in the Star Picking Tower!
How similar her situation was!
It was thanks to Senior Brother Song's guidance that she was able to grasp Senior Sister Gu's feelings and rise to fame among the Xiaotian Sect members.
now--
During a break from her conversation with the others, she turned and glanced at Zhu Wuyao.
Perhaps she could even compete for the position of personal disciple... The secret expectation in her heart could not be dispelled no matter what.
If Senior Sister Zhu weren't here, she might have been able to compete with Senior Sister Gu, who valued her highly.
Sigh... Yi Tian sighed softly in his heart.
I did consider doing something underhanded, but Senior Sister Zhu is probably determined to get the position of direct disciple, so she will definitely be wary of being harmed by others.
If we make a move now, given how powerful Senior Sister Zhu is, we might get caught red-handed!
Zhu Wuyao is currently bewildered by the wind.
Why is she still safe and sound today?
What about the infighting and backstabbing among fellow disciples?!
When there's nothing going on, they always pull off some underhanded tricks, but when it comes to real benefits, why do they all suddenly back down?
She insisted on competing because Shen Xun insisted on competing; otherwise, she would fall behind.
Shen Xun is now seriously injured and will not wake up for decades.
Some also had the intention of taking the opportunity to improve their own strength.
However, she has already broken through to the Golden Core stage, and no matter how powerful her position as a personal disciple is, it is impossible for her to advance another level in a short period of time.
In addition, the way Senior Sister Gu set up this chess game is truly alarming.
Granny Feng was absolutely right.
"You look like a clueless, smug fool."
She really did become a fool.
Now, Zhu Wuyao has basically confirmed that Granny Feng must be related to Zhaixing Tower, so her suggestion to "go as far away as possible" may also have a hidden meaning.
However, if Granny Feng intended to remind her, why did she go through so much trouble to conceal it?
It was as if he was afraid she wouldn't understand, yet also afraid she actually did.
The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind; a child's slingshot; a mountain torrent is about to plunge.
She didn't even understand which level she was in.
The position of direct disciple is now more of a disadvantage than an advantage for her, fraught with danger, and there may be another ulterior motive behind it.
What was once a highly sought-after commodity has now become a hot potato.
As the elder in front of the door spoke:
"Please come in."
Zhu Wuyao lagged a few steps behind, slowly walking towards the Star-Picking Tower. Even now, she still harbored delusions—
Who knows, someone might try to cause trouble at the last minute?
It doesn't matter if you're not good enough, she'll give you a chance!
Senior Sister Gu might be watching her. If she does something sneaky, she might get caught. But if someone else makes trouble for her... then that would be "fate."
