"The master of the hospital misunderstood, it was not my foster father who asked me to come."
"I just happened to get a treasured weapon named [Sword of Virtue and Virtue]. This weapon had some problems and I couldn't use it, so I wanted to exchange it for some benefits."
Chu Qianqiu didn't dare to talk nonsense now. It was best to be honest in front of the martial arts master.
In particular, the head of the College of Arts and Sciences has an unpredictable secret and can actually see that he and Ren Daoyuan have come far away, so he must be careful.
"The Cui family's family treasure is indeed of no use, and the martial arts masters don't want to be implicated in the cause and effect of resentment."
The head of the School of Arts and Sciences took the sword out of thin air, inspected it for a few moments, then returned it to Chu Qianqiu, shook his head and said:
"It's a bad idea for you to come to the College of Arts and Sciences in exchange for benefits."
"What do you mean, Lord Master, by saying this?"
"You are Uncle Liu's adopted son. You don't need to be so polite with me. We can just treat each other as equals."
"My surname is Yang and my given name is Yuehua. I am Uncle Liu's half-adopted daughter."
"I call you Qianqiu, and you can call me Yuehua. There is no need for such red tape."
Yang Yuehua stretched his waist lazily, showing no trace of the master's demeanor, but inadvertently revealing his elegance.
If Li Shishi's beauty is that of a witch who brings disaster to the country in the world, then Yang Yuehua is more like a fairy in the ninth heaven, walking in the world.
But her words made Chu Qianqiu a little confused. Since he is one of his own, isn't it natural for him to get some benefits?
What Yang Yuehua said next made him understand.
"The College of Arts and Sciences teaches "White Tiger Tongyi" and also teaches "Etiquette" and the connection between heaven and man."
"But all this is just to do what one wants and not to go beyond the rules."
"Confucianism teaches rules and establishes etiquette. The prerequisite for not violating the rules is to know the rules and understand the etiquette."
"Walking within the rules without breaking them."
"Uncle Liu insists on going his own way, so I really can't help him."
The sage said: I follow my heart's desires and do not exceed the rules.
Yang Yuehua was unwilling to help Liu Dutong on the big issue of rebellion, because she also had her own reasons.
The purpose of the College of Arts and Sciences is not to learn but to have good liberal arts and science, and not to be an official but to implement government.
In a sense it is very similar to Zen Buddhism.
"So Yuehua doesn't want to be involved in the war between the two parties. After all, you are a master of martial arts, so you can protect one party from worries."
Chu Qianqiu understood. No wonder his adoptive father did not come to unite and invite the College of Arts and Sciences. If Yang Yuehua had made his position clear, Ren Daoyuan would not have this attitude.
"That's right, so this [Honorable Virtue Carrying Sword] is useless to me, and it is useless to the College of Arts and Sciences. It will only cause endless trouble."
"If Uncle Liu raises an army, it will bring a huge disaster to the people of Shenwu. I will not kill Boren, but Boren will die because of me."
"I can't stop Uncle Liu, but I can't help him either."
Yang Yuehua said firmly.
"The hospital master stood by and watched, so he was blameless." After hearing what Yang Yuehua said, Chu Qianqiu understood but had to retort.
"It's just that the decline of the times is approaching and there is famine in Fengzhou. It is just an ordinary thing to change children for food."
"In these troubled times, what can the master do?"
"What the director of the academy just said about Li Daoyuan was sonorous and powerful, and it is very reasonable."
"But what have you done for these people?"
Chu Qianqiu's rhetorical question was not too fierce, but it made the smile on Yang Yuehua's face disappear.
"What a wonderful Chu Qianqiu, he is really sharp-tongued."
"I finally understand why Uncle Liu wanted to adopt you as his adopted son."
"You asked me what I have done for the people?"
"As the dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, a warrior in the realm of martial arts, I can do whatever I want and treat all living beings as stupid dogs. If I don't do evil, isn't it great good governance?"
As the dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, Yang Yuehua is naturally not a talker. Naturally, her theoretical foundation is also strong and she can justify her arguments.
"You said that Fengzhou changes its sons and eats, and there are many tragedies in the world. But if Uncle Liu raises an army to rebel, the tragedies that will happen in the world will be ten times more than this?"
"The whole world will collapse, and the bones will be exposed in the wild. There will be no roosters crowing for thousands of miles."
When Yang Yuehua said this, he already regarded Chu Qianqiu as a figure of equal communication. Before, it was just an equality of status, but now it is an equality of ideas.
A character who can argue with each other.
"What the hospital master said is true, but it is too biased towards the imperial court."
Chu Qianqiu chuckled and continued to retort:
"The imperial court has its sword on its neck. If my adoptive father really brought harm to the world, he would have united with Daxia Bingfeng and taken him straight to the capital."
"Why wait until today?"
"If his name is not right, his words will not be right. What a heroic figure his adoptive father is, how can he rebel without reason?"
"If there is a military attack in the future, I am sure that the imperial court will take action first."
"At that time, can the hospital master help me?"
All Yang Yuehua's assumptions are that the adoptive father made the first move, so I will dismantle the foundation of your argument and make a premise.
If the imperial court takes action first, which side are you on?
"General Long stopped fighting for the sake of the world, but Uncle Liu had selfish motives..." Yang Yuehua chose the worst response strategy and avoided talking about it, which allowed Chu Qianqiu to find an excuse.
"The world doesn't care about one's heart when talking about one's deeds. Let's ask the hospital master to make a decision." Chu Qianqiu directly interrupted the other party's defense and pierced Yang Yuehua's heart like a rainbow piercing the sun, making her face this problem head-on.
Are you really not helping Liu Dutong for the sake of the people, or are you afraid of getting involved in this dispute?
Ask your heart.
Yang Yuehua couldn't help but frowned, and immediately made a decision.
"If the imperial court is unjust, I will help Uncle Liu fight against the imperial court and will never stand idly by."
"Chu Qianqiu, are you satisfied?"
After saying that, Yang Yuehua took a deep breath and looked at Chu Qianqiu with a half-smile.
If there wasn't any old relationship between the two parties, it would be a very dangerous move to question the true heart and spirit of a martial arts master like this.
"Thank you, Master, for helping the Shenwei Army." Chu Qianqiu showed a surprised smile. He originally thought that Yang Yuehua was a hypocrite. Although she was a woman, she was also a hypocrite.
Unexpectedly, she actually agreed, and she would do it if she could be convinced.
"I told you, you don't have to be so polite, just call me Yuehua."
"Uncle Liu was kind to me back then. If it weren't for his help, the Yang family would have fallen into decline long ago, and there would be no Yang Yuehua today."
"If Uncle Liu wanted to repay his kindness, I would help him, but he didn't."
So at first Yang Yuehua thought that Chu Qianqiu was sent by Liu Dutong to ask for repayment.
It turned out not to be the case, and now I have lost a promise.
Other warriors can treat the oath as nothing important.
But this is absolutely not possible for masters of martial arts. The royal family trains masters of the six sects and lets them practice the "Sutra of Loyalty and Filial Piety" for this purpose.
"Uncle Liu asked me to choose by myself, so I have to convince myself."
"Now that I think about it, I just need an excuse."
Speaking of this, Yang Yuehua changed the subject:
"But you forced me to agree to the request, but you had to pay the price."
"Let me see what kind of skills Uncle Liu's adopted son is capable of."
