Yang Jian looked at the conversation between the young man and the scholar on the screen, a cold smile forming on his lips.
“Oh? So this is what a gentleman is?”
“Then I, Yang Jian, must be the greatest gentleman in the world.”
Wei Ge, however, said:
“Leg Bro, you’re not a gentleman.”
“I’m not? Then what am I? Am I Fang Yuan?”
Yang Jian chuckled, “You know, I actually do resemble Fang Yuan a little.”
“No, Leg Bro, you’re a sage!”
Wei Ge said:
“If we encounter danger, you’d definitely come back to save us, even if it means risking your life.”
“So, you’re not a gentleman, but you’re a sage!”
...
Great Love Immortal Venerable Plane.
“Hahaha, so this is what a gentleman is!”
Fang Yuan sneered, “By this logic, I, Gu Yue Fang Yuan, am a gentleman.”
Long Gong roared in fury:
“What kind of dog-piss gentleman are you? You’re a demon, a heartless beast!”
Fang Yuan didn’t get angry, instead, he chuckled lightly:
“A gentleman does not save, are you saying that’s me?”
“I’ve never saved anyone in my life, that phrase perfectly fits me!”
......
Chat Group.
【Feng Tian Yu: “A gentleman does not save! That phrase is well said, our Lord Fang Yuan would absolutely not save! That’s why Lord Fang Yuan is the most sincere sovereign.”】
【Li Huai: “Feng Tian Yu, have some shame! With Fang Yuan’s personality, who has he ever saved? A gentleman does not refuse to save people, but rather saves them without putting himself in danger.”】
【Feng Tian Yu: “Isn’t it the same? Saving someone means taking a risk, a risk can lead to personal danger, so if you see someone in danger, you should just turn around and walk away. That’s the way of a gentleman!”】
【Li Bao Ping: “Feng Tian Yu, do you even know how to read? A gentleman does not save doesn’t mean you turn a blind eye to death. It means saving people within your own capabilities, do you understand?”】
【Feng Tian Yu: “You’re taking all the good and bad lines! If you don’t save people, then you’re a gentleman because you find it dangerous, but if we don’t save people, you call us heartless. Is this the logic of you bookworms? What kind of gentleman is that? It’s clearly a fake gentleman!”】
......
The chat group was in a heated debate about saving and not saving people.
The black-bordered screen began to appear again.
【The young man was confused, he didn’t understand.】
【Qi Jing Chun hesitated for a moment, then said: “When you encounter misfortune, you should first have compassion, but a gentleman isn’t a stubborn person. He can go to the well to save someone, but he’ll never put himself in mortal danger.”】
【It seemed this question had piqued his interest.】
【The young man asked seriously: “Mr., can I live now? If I can, how long can I live?”】
【Qi Jing Chun thought carefully, slowly stood up, and said resolutely: “If you’re not afraid of hardship and suffering, you can definitely live.”】
【The young man’s face immediately lit up, he said matter-of-factly: “I’m not afraid of suffering!”】
【“Come, let me take you to a place. Although I, Qi Jing Chun, can’t help you, but things have come to this, helping you survive is not against the rules. In fact, you deserve a chance to get a chance to survive.”】
【The young man was still confused.】
【They arrived under the old locust tree, for some reason, the town was quiet inside and out, only this old locust tree was an exception, its leaves swayed gently, graceful and elegant.】
【After Qi Jing Chun stood still, his expression became solemn, he bowed and looked up, asking: “Can Qi Jing Chun ask for a locust leaf from you, so that the young man can leave the town safely in the future, at least for the next three years, free from the backlash of the disaster?”】
【The thousand-year-old locust tree remained silent.】
【Qi Jing Chun asked again: “Qi Jing Chun has been stationed here for fifty-nine years, no merit but hard work, can’t I even ask for a leaf of ancestral protection? Besides, the young man is originally from your town, why are you all so stingy, you ancestors?”】
【The old locust tree still did not respond.】
【The silence now felt like a silent mockery.】
【You, Qi Jing Chun, are powerful, but you’re just one person in this vast world, you’re also a pitiful person who maintains the core of this grand array. We’re unwilling to give this incense of ancestral protection for free, what can you do about it?】
【Qi Jing Chun’s face was clouded with uncertainty, eventually he could only sigh, looked down, filled with guilt.】
【The young man grinned, turned to comfort him: “Lu Dao Chang said that as long as I go to the south of the town, find a blacksmith named Ruan, and become his apprentice, I’ll have a chance to survive. Qi Mister, without this... locust leaf, I think it’ll be fine!”】
【Qi Jing Chun smiled and asked: “Are you being honest?”】
【The young man scratched his head, bashfully: “No.”】
【Qi Jing Chun chuckled.】
【Suddenly.】
【A fresh, emerald green locust leaf, fluttered down from the very top of the tree crown.】
【The young man simply stretched out his palm, and the leaf landed in his hand.】
【On the leaf, a golden character flashed briefly.】
【Qi Jing Chun was a bit surprised, after a moment, he said solemnly: “This character is Yao, Chen Ping An, are you willing to repay the Yao family, regardless of life or death?!”】
【“To be honest, even without this leaf, you may still have a glimmer of hope, I can tell you that for sure. So think carefully!”】
【The young man asked: “Is it the Yao from Master Yao?”】
【Qi Jing Chun nodded: “Yes.”】
【The young man clasped his hands together, gently holding the locust leaf in his palms, he looked up and said loudly: “As long as I live, as long as I encounter anyone with the surname Yao, just like Qi Mister said before, even if they fall into a well, even if saving them means death, I, Chen Ping An, will save them!”】
【Heaven and Earth were silent.】
【Qi Jing Chun smiled: “Let’s go.”】
【As he left with the young man, he quietly turned his head, looking at the very top of the locust tree, Qi Jing Chun’s face was filled with ridicule.】
【“Chen” locust leaves were not nonexistent, in fact, there were more than just one or two.】
【But in the end, even knowing that this place was about to collapse, they were willing to find another host, even if they weren’t surnamed Chen, yet there was no incense of ancestral protection willing to watch over the straw sandal boy of Mud Bottle Alley.】
【Qi Jing Chun turned back, patted the young man’s head, and teased: “If it were Song Ji Xin, Zhao Yao, Gu Can, those people, if they made such a grand vow like you did before, they would probably trigger a resonance between heaven and earth.”】
【The young man smiled brightly, “I don’t care about that, I just do my own thing.”】
【Qi Jing Chun asked again: “Are you being honest this time?”】
【The young man smiled: “Yes!”】
......
In the chat group.
【Fang Yuan: “See? This is the way of the world. Saving people? Most people stand by and watch, that’s reality. Even if it’s family or clan, what of it? They still remain indifferent, and sometimes, the ones who trample on you are your own relatives. Chen Ping An, don’t listen to your foolish master. Scholars are always idealists, but this world is not an ideal world. If you want to achieve your ideals, you must have means!”】
