This is the first time in Xie Mingxi's life that she has completely opened her heart to others and revealed her dark and calculating side.
Even to her friend the Sixth Princess, she had never been so honest.
Gu Shanchang was speechless for a moment, then smiled and said: "Only by self-reliance and self-reliance can you be invincible. No matter how strong your backing is, it is better to rely on yourself. I didn't expect that you could understand this truth at such a young age."
"It's just that since I'm your master, it's natural for me to worry about you. You don't have to feel guilty or feel uneasy."
Xie Mingxi said softly: "I don't feel guilty or uneasy, I just don't want to pretend in front of Master anymore. I want Master to see what I really look like!"
"I am not kind, let alone weak and cowardly."
"I am good at calculating people's hearts, and I never suffer any overt or covert losses."
"Whoever dares to provoke me, I will definitely retaliate tenfold and a hundredfold, making the other party regret it!"
"Is Master still willing to have such a disciple?"
…
The room suddenly became quiet.
Gu Shan looked steadily at Xie Mingxi, who looked calm, with complicated eyes and was speechless for a long time.
I don't know how much time passed before Gu Shanchang whispered: "In the past few months, you have been pretending so well that I didn't notice it at all... Why did you suddenly tell me the truth today?"
As long as Xie Mingxi is willing, she can continue to deceive her.
Xie Mingxi pursed her lips slightly and said softly: "Master treats me wholeheartedly, how can I bear to keep deceiving Master."
Gu Shanchang subconsciously asked: "Could it be that you have never shown this side of yourself in front of anyone?"
"That's not true."
Xie Mingxi has a calm attitude: "It's just that everyone who has been cheated by me has suffered. If you want to accuse me, you can't do it."
Because she has always been "innocent". It was others who harmed her, and she would fight back "as a last resort".
Occasionally, he took the initiative, but he did so very covertly, and never exposed his flaws at all.
Gu Shan let out a long breath and smiled helplessly: "I thought I had a sharp eye and could see all the students clearly. I didn't expect that you had been kept in the dark all this time."
Xie Mingxi looked normal on the surface, but her heart sank slightly.
The upright and stubborn Gu Shanchang seems to be unable to accept her true face as a "black lotus"... What should she do if Gu Shanchang no longer wants her as a disciple?
"What are you going to do if I don't want you as my disciple anymore?" Master Gu actually opened his mouth and asked what she was thinking at this time: "Tell me the truth."
Xie Mingxi thought for a moment and told the truth: "I immediately opened my mouth and begged, completely changed my mind, and begged Master to forgive me. Master doesn't want me, so I won't leave."
Gu Shanchang: "..."
…
There was another moment of silence.
Xie Mingxi cleared her throat: "Master, I already know that I was wrong, and I will definitely change it in the future..."
Before he finished speaking, Gu Shanchang couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Gu Shanchang, who was slightly cold and solemn, was laughing like a young girl, and was actually a bit innocent and cute.
Xie Mingxi was a little embarrassed: "Master, why are you laughing all the time? I didn't lie to you, I sincerely acknowledge my mistake and regret it..."
"Okay, okay, your true colors are revealed, why are you still pretending!"
Gu Shanchang smiled and reached out to wipe away the water droplets that overflowed from the corners of his eyes: "I am laughing at myself. I am so old and I claim to have rich experience, but I was fooled by a little girl like you."
Xie Mingxi told the truth sincerely: "Master, don't think I am young, but in fact I have lived in a dream for eighty years. In terms of mental age, I am much older than Master."
This "joke" amused Gu Shanchang again.
Gu Shan laughed for a long time before he stopped and said seriously: "I, Gu Xianzhi, have never changed my words. Now that I have accepted you as my disciple, I will always be your master."
"Today we have a heart-to-heart talk between master and disciple, which is also a good thing."
"From now on, you can just speak frankly in front of me without any need to be secretive."
The huge stone in Xie Mingxi's heart finally fell to the ground, her brows relaxed and her smile was like a flower: "Yes, I listen to Master."
In the blink of an eye, he looked like a docile and well-behaved disciple again.
Gu Shanchang couldn't stop laughing, waved his hand and said: "Okay, you can go back first!"
Xie Mingxi responded and was about to turn around when Gu Shanchang suddenly stopped her again: "Mingxi, I have a few more words to tell you."
"If the people around you are malicious and evil, you should retaliate directly. There is no harm in using some tricks and tactics."
"You must treat those who treat you sincerely. Only in this way can you exchange sincerity for sincerity."
"You must also firmly believe that there are always people in this world who truly care about you and cherish you. This world is not as open and bright as everyone says, but it is not as cold and dark as you imagined."
"Only with light in your heart can you walk through the darkness and face the morning light."
Xie Mingxi calmly responded.
…
Essentially, Xie Mingxi and Gu Shanchang are completely different people.
Mr. Gu Shanchang is exactly the person she calls "a man with a bright heart".
As for Xie Mingxi, she asked herself that her heart was already dark, and it had nothing to do with the word "brightness". For sincerity, it also depends on the year, month, person, and matter...
All in all, it is as difficult as going to heaven to get her to completely let down her guard and truly accept someone!
She doesn't mind helping the people around her when things go smoothly. She doesn't mind stepping on her enemies when they are unlucky, or digging a hole for her enemies to fall into and never get out again!
Speaking of which, the Sixth Princess is also the only exception.
The Sixth Princess was the only friend who could still be forgiven and accepted by her after cheating on her.
If the Sixth Princess dares to lie to her about something else...hehehe!
The sixth princess, who was concentrating on practicing drumming, suddenly sneezed!
Master Yang was also in a daze today. Hearing the earth-shattering sneeze, he was startled and immediately came over and asked, "What's wrong?"
The sixth princess rubbed her nose and gave an innocent expression.
Just be fine.
Master Yang calmed down and stepped forward to give a few words of guidance: "... Her Royal Highness the Princess is very strong, drumming is very powerful, and the rhythm is also well controlled. However, drumming must not only be rhythmic, but also melodious. Otherwise, you will use too much force and chaos.
Knock it once and it will feel harsh."
The sixth princess nodded, indicating that she understood.
The Sixth Princess doesn't like to talk much, which Master Yang has long been used to, but is not accustomed to. Just as he was about to turn around to give instructions to other students, there was a sudden knock on the door of the music room.
The students who were immersed in the music practice were all surprised and looked at each other.
Master Yang's eyebrows and his heart skipped a beat, and a bad premonition suddenly crossed his mind, so he stepped forward and opened the door in person.
Standing outside the door was her daughter Yang Ningxue.
Yang Ningxue's face was full of panic, with tears in her eyes, and she said hurriedly: "Mom, grandma, they are here."
