Chapter 152: Cleaning Up [2] ??? The next day, the Long Princess got out of bed, spaced out for a bit again, and then suddenly blurted out, "What the...?! What's going on here?! Who did this?! But it looks like it might not be so bad after all. Whatever, I don't care! Let's go gamble!"
If Xiao Yao were here, he would definitely know that this is the appearance of Gambler Long Gongzhu. Although she doesn't like to clean up, if others help her tidy up, she won't go and destroy anything. And most importantly, she doesn't have time to destroy things. She thinks that feeling good now and going to gamble is what's most important.
The gambler Long Gongzhu came out and met Xiao Yao, but she didn't care much, just saying: "Huh, you little brat is still here, don't tell me about books anymore, I'm going to conquer the world!!"
Xiaoyao understood as soon as he heard the words, another personality of Princess Chang had appeared. He also knew that it was time for him to leave now, and when Princess Chang's other personality appeared again, they would talk about it then.
The gambler hastily left after saying a sentence, for now the most important thing is to go gamble, not to talk to Xiao Yao.
Farewell, Great Tang Imperial Palace!!!
"Good morning, young master!"
“??”?
When he came out of the palace, the guard at the gate suddenly saluted him. He looked around and saw a young noble passing by, who looked quite dignified.
Which little prince is this, forget it, never mind, let's just leave first!
So, Xiao Yao didn't bother with all that. He quickly walked away, thinking that if he could avoid coming to this imperial palace, then so be it!!!
The number one under the heavens, this world-renowned martial arts academy has a tradition of over a thousand years. Its connotation and depth are no less than those deeply hidden martial arts sects, and in terms of influence, it is even higher than those martial arts sects.
At least, the number one under heaven is open and aboveboard in its teachings. It openly accepts students, with academies spread all over the world. This is where the strength of the number one under heaven lies. Even those super schools can't compare to it.
Super sects have many super masters, but they can't withstand the fact that there are many people who are number one in the world. Moreover, the number one in the world will also appear several super masters from time to time, and the numerical advantage may not be less than those super sects.
It's also simple, some people just need to be honed, need opportunities, to bring out their abilities. This kind of talent is not born with a natural advantage, but rather slowly walks towards success through hard work and dedication.
Sometimes geniuses may not necessarily succeed. On the other hand, talented people will definitely succeed because they have the qualities and conditions that successful people should have.
However, some people rely on diligence to make up for their clumsiness and actually trample those extraordinary geniuses underfoot. Therefore, the creed that the number one in the world has always believed in is - Diligence!!!
And this word is on the gate of the world's number one, a huge stone, proclaiming to everyone the faith of the world's number one. Here, as long as you work hard, you have the opportunity. It doesn't matter what your background is or what your talent is.
The dean of the college likes to say a sentence, that is - talent is only the foundation given by God, and hard work is the condition for your success!!
Xiaoyao is now standing in front of this "diligent", he thinks this "diligent" is very interesting, absolutely from the handwriting of a master, and this word seems to have a certain artistic conception.
If someone can comprehend this state of mind, their mental state will rise to a higher level. However, for Xiang Yang, it doesn't have much effect because his mental state is already very high. Comprehending this state of mind won't bring him much improvement.
However, Xiao Yao did not let go of this opportunity either. To experience this state of mind, although it was very difficult for others and might take a lifetime to comprehend, but for him, it would be at most a matter of ten or so minutes.
Then, Xiao Yao stood there in a daze for over ten minutes... "Hey, what are you doing standing here?"
Just as he was lost in thought, a white-haired and youthful-looking old lady appeared beside him and asked a question.
"Look at the words, good words!" Xiao Yao replied simply. At this time, he was almost done, but still savoring the aftertaste, so he didn't pay much attention to the people around him, nor did he care about his own words, which were all subconscious remarks.
"What's good?" The old lady asked with some curiosity.
"It can only be understood, but cannot be explained!" Xiangyang replied with a very classic phrase, and this sentence can indeed explain the situation. If it could be explained, everyone would have understood it.
“……”?
The old lady was silent for a moment, looking at Xiao Yao. She thought the young man in front of her was very interesting. When she arrived at the door just now, she found that Xiao Yao had such a calm and composed state. This feeling made her understand that the young man in front of her had gained some insight into this word.
And as she thought, at Xiangyao's age, being able to understand the connotation of this word, even if it was just a little bit, was already very rare. She thought Xiangyao had potential and could be nurtured.
It was also out of love for her talent that she came to talk to Xiao Yao, and the scene above happened!
But the old lady didn't know that Xiangyang wasn't a student here, and what he understood wasn't just one point, but everything. Of course, these things shouldn't have much to do with her, because Xiangyang probably wouldn't meet her too often.
"What's your name?" The old lady asked with a smile.
"Carefree, joyful and carefree!" Xiangyang replied casually, then slowly turned his head to look at the old woman, "Granny, did you just ask me something?"
"...The old lady understood that her previous casual answers were subconscious, but this also proved one point, that Xiao Yao was enlightened at that time."
Of course, it's also possible that he was just spacing out, ignoring everything in a daze, but the old lady thought this was impossible because if he were just spacing out, there wouldn't be such a feeling on his body.
"Yes, I just saw you here and had some thoughts, so I came over to ask." The old lady replied with a smile, while feeling a bit puzzled in her heart, why did he call me "wife", didn't he recognize me?
It seems that I'm the dean here, but not everyone knows me. Some people haven't even seen me before. It looks like I need to get out more so my own students don't fail to recognize me.
"Yes, this character is very good. The person who wrote it has also incorporated the way of the sword into it, and the fusion of the two ways is a rare stroke of genius." Xīao nodded in agreement, his words seeming to focus only on the character, studying the calligraphy rather than the martial arts.
The old lady was slightly stunned by the young man's words, she hadn't expected that he would be interested in calligraphy rather than martial arts. Could it be that what he had just grasped was only the artistic conception of calligraphy?
What a waste if it's like that!!!
The old lady felt a little regretful in her heart, if Xīao Yóu knew her thoughts, she would definitely shake her head, thinking that the old lady in front of her was not one of her own kind, because she only saw martial arts.
"Is this all you've figured out?" The old lady said, her tone of disappointment was unmistakable.
"En, that's about it." Xiangyang nodded in response. For him, these were roughly the only useful things; he had already grasped everything else and naturally didn't have any use for them.
But to the old lady, Xiangyao's words sounded somewhat different. She felt that Xiangyao had grasped too little and was still arrogant enough to think he had grasped everything, saying that the characters in front of him were only useful for this much.
"Young people, some things need to be slowly realized. Don't think that what you see now is everything. Some things are not nonexistent, but rather you can't see them." The old lady said somewhat coldly, and her previous enthusiasm had cooled down due to Xiao Yao's expression.
"Is there anything else? Then I'll take a look." Xiangyang still thought the old lady was advising herself, and she really thought there were other things in it. So he stared blankly ahead, but after a while, he still couldn't find anything else, so he gave up.
While he was stunned, the old lady beside him had already disappeared without his notice. He didn't mind and prepared to enter the gate of the number one school in the world, but it seemed that he had forgotten something - he wasn't a student here, and most importantly, he didn't have a pass.
However, there is another way for Xīao to get in, which is to report the name of Gū Xīng, because each student can bring a follower with them, and Gū Xīng doesn't have anyone else's, Xīao has this quota.
"What's with the 'Lone Star's Servant' act?" The gatekeeper looked at Xiangyang and said in a strange, airy voice, "You're already over a hundredth person to claim you're Lone Star's servant. I don't get what's wrong with you rich kids, why do you insist on pretending to be servants."
Xiaoyao started to get a headache as soon as he heard this sentence, and he knew that entering this place might be a bit troublesome.
It seems that Gu Xing is still quite charming here, able to attract so many people to pursue her. This is just a simple housekeeper, and there must be others who are also quite charming.
"This big brother, those were all fake before, I am the real deal!!" said Xiao Yao, although the possibility is small, but still have to try, try if can pass.
"I've heard that sentence many times, everyone says they're not fake, why don't you come up with a new excuse or do you have the pass token for this place, it's easy, as long as you're a student here." The guard said calmly, without any good words, but also without any disdain.
Perhaps this is also because the guard knew that even if these people were not students here, they were not people who could be offended.
Xiaoyao is now somewhat perplexed, from the attitude of the guards, among the pursuers of Lonely Star, there are not a few outsiders, how did Lonely Star's name spread outside? She is not someone who likes to show her face and will not come into contact with the outside world, so how can she be known by outsiders?
