Zhou Xingyun and others listened silently, while Xiao Xiaosai was very patient and explained clearly how she had lived in the paradise since she became sensible, how she received education from her mentors, and how she learned various skills, all from the complex to the simple.
Xiao Xiaosai is really smart. She can always simplify complicated content into one or two sentences and express it clearly.
The more Zhou Xingyun heard, the more something was wrong. Xiao Xiaosai's childhood was almost no childhood. She had been growing up under the education of her mentors and had almost no time of her own.
In other words, all the girls who received education in the paradise, like Xiao Sai, are trained by their mentors and practice etiquette day after day to enhance their charm and strength.
As a result, although Xiao Xiaosai has learned many things, ranging from music, chess, calligraphy, painting, and cross-stitch, to running a country and doing business to bring peace to the world, there are almost no skills that she does not know.
However, Xiao Xiaosai, who is so versatile and versatile, has one skill that she has not learned.
This skill can be said to be Zhou Xingyun's strength, and it can also be said to be Mo Nianxi's specialty, which is... playing games in troubled waters!
There was no word "play" in Xiao Xiaosai's childhood life, which made Zhou Xingyun so distressed that he shed tears.
However, what surprised Zhou Xingyun the most was that Wei Suyao actually felt the same and said that in her childhood, no one was willing to play with her because of her alien appearance.
As a result, Zhou Xingyun had to shed tears again and lamented that it was not easy for Xiao Suyao.
What’s the saying? When a cat cries, a mouse is showing mercy! Wei Suyao can’t be a mouse, but Zhou Xingyun must be the cat that makes people hate him!
Leaving aside Xiao Xiaosai's life in the paradise, after listening to Xiao Xiaosai's words, Zhou Xingyun found that the ideas instilled in her by the empire's mentors can be summarized into three points.
First, they must swear loyalty to the emperor, dedicate their body and mind to the emperor, and completely obey all the emperor's orders.
The second is to maintain the majesty of the imperial family and protect the rights and interests of the nobles without violating the first law.
The third is to strengthen the power of the empire, protect the people of the empire, and seek benefits for the people of the empire without violating the first and second laws.
The emperor wanted to cultivate a perfect woman who was pure, beautiful, strong, righteous, and loyal to herself, so they created a paradise, a community environment that seemed to be free from the world.
But, can the emperor's long-cherished wish really come true?
There is a saying that the empire spent a huge amount of manpower and material resources to build a paradise on the border of the Principality of Cheryl, providing a high-quality environment for Xiao Xiaosai and others. The best mentors can indeed cultivate many outstanding women.
However, they overlooked one thing, which is the difference between reality and paradise.
To be sure, the emperor hoped that the concubine he cultivated would be pure and righteous, teach her how to judge right from wrong, and establish correct values for her, but he himself had a dark heart and was an evil person.
Then, isn't it contradictory for the emperor to ask a pure and righteous man to swear loyalty to an evil guy like himself?
Perhaps from the very beginning, the emperor planned to instill in Xiaosai and others a distorted and solipsistic view of justice based on his own interests.
To be honest, Xiao Sai has been practicing etiquette under the mentor arranged for her by the empire since she was sensible. Her values have been formed and can even be said to be deeply ingrained.
Xiao Xiaosai has her own judgment and knows what is right and what is wrong, what is justice and what is evil, but she is deeply influenced by the empire's mentors. When justice goes against the emperor's interests, she will
Give up the right choice.
Because of this, Xiao Xiaosai was very conflicted and sneaked into Zhou Xingyun's bedroom at night to ask him about the truth about the world.
Zhou Xingyun could imagine that if the empire was given a few more years, there was a high probability that Xiao Xiaosai would become what the emperor expected, a seemingly bright and righteous woman who focused on him.
To be sure, Seluvinia grew up in the paradise and was influenced by the empire's mentors. Even after she grew up, Seluvinia's thoughts did not change much.
She still upholds the values that her mentors instilled in her, but...Seluvinia changed the belief she swore to be loyal to, and changed her allegiance to the emperor to Zhou Xingyun himself.
What causes this phenomenon...
In Seluvinia's words, when she didn't know how to move forward and when she was most helpless, he gave her the motivation to live and became her salvation.
At first Zhou Xingyun didn't quite understand the meaning of this sentence, but now he kind of understands it.
There is a fierce struggle between the justice in Xiaosai's heart and the things she believes in.
The only thing to blame is that Xiao Xiaosai was very smart. Through what he saw and heard in Mayba Castle, he realized what kind of people the nobles of the great empire were.
The justice, resistance, and resistance in Xiao Xiaosai's heart do not allow her to work for such a group of people. If Xiao Xiaosai is a little stupider, she can be like the other girls in the paradise, knowing nothing and knowing nothing. According to the instructors
Follow the arranged path.
Unfortunately, Xiao Xiaosai is very smart and she has already realized the problem.
Because of this, she asked Zhou Xingyun for help.
Yes, Zhou Xingyun knew very well that Xiao Xiaosai came to see him tonight and what he wanted to know was not the truth of the world.
Perhaps even Little Sai herself didn't know that tonight, when she violated the rules of the paradise for the first time, she was actually asking him for help. The justice in Little Sai's heart was making its final struggle.
She knew that if she continued like this, her remaining conscience would be dominated and controlled by others.
At that time, she will become a tool that swears loyalty to the emperor as her mentors wished.
If the emperor was really a wise monarch, Xiao Xiaosai would be willing to offer his loyalty to him, but unfortunately...according to Xiao Xiaosai's speculation, the emperor was not a wise king.
If the emperor was a wise king, how could he waste his people and money by building a large-scale construction project on the border of the Principality of Cheryl to build a paradise dedicated to cultivating beauties for himself?
For Xiao Xiaosai at this moment, she is probably very helpless and helpless, and she doesn't know what to do in the future.
Otherwise, how could she violate the rules of the paradise, sneak into Zhou Xingyun and others' bedroom at night, and ask a group of strangers who met for the first time what the real world is like?
Zhou Xingyun has a headache. Seluvinia is a very smart girl. After receiving education, she will certainly be able to think independently.
Now she has discovered that there is something wrong with the education she received. The values in it are both justice and sin, which are very complicated.
Zhou Xingyun couldn't explain this clearly, and Xiao Xiaosai could only think and explore the principles of human nature on his own.
What is justice and what is evil? Sometimes even the law has trouble deciding what is right and what is wrong.
However, since Xiao Xiaosai has asked him for help, Zhou Xingyun will definitely not stand idly by.
Even the big empire couldn't protect the little Sai Sai in his rebellious stage.
"Well, I understand your situation. If you really want to know what the outside world is like, just come with me." Zhou Xingyun did not directly tell Xiao Xiaosai what the outside world is like.
After all, Zhou Xingyun's IQ is limited, and he doesn't know how to describe a world.
What Xiao Xiaosai wants to know is not the appearance of the world, but the true meaning of the world. Zhou Xingyun pays the IQ tax every day and doesn't know how to answer her questions.
Fortunately, there is always a way. Instead of telling Xiaosai what is right and what is wrong, and denying the ideas instilled in her by the imperial mentors, Zhou Xingyun might as well let her understand everything for herself.
Seeing is believing, and hearing is believing. Zhou Xingyun wants to tell Xiaosai the truth about the world and teach him what to do. So what is the difference between him and the mentors of the empire?
Is hearsay information feasible? The information and materials provided to you by others are all other people’s subjective conclusions.
Therefore, Zhou Xingyun brought Xiaosai to the residence of Mary and others, so that Xiaosai could contact Mary and other survivors from the border village.
Doesn't Xiao Xiaosai want to know what the outside world is like?
Compared to myself, a foreigner, Mary and the other people from the Principality of Cheryl can better tell Xiaosai about the lifestyle of an ordinary person and their values.
It is Zhou Xingyun's basic operation in daily life not to open the window when there is a door.
When Wei Suyao, Xiao Xiaosai and others saw Zhou Xingyun climb out of the window, they had no choice but to follow him immediately.
Of course, everyone knows that Zhou Xingyun does not go through the front door in order to avoid the eyes of the nobles. Does anyone really think that Zhou Xingyun likes to climb through windows so he does not go through the front entrance? Usually Zhou Xingyun climbs through windows with a purpose, either to attack beautiful women at night or at night.
Assault on beauties.
In a short time, Zhou Xingyun and others arrived at the residence of Mary and others.
Mary and her group were placed in an area to the north of the paradise that was to be developed.
The paradise has not yet been completed. At present, only about 60% of the city has been built according to the emperor's plan, and 40% of the area is still under construction. It is estimated that it will take more than ten years to complete.
Mary and other survivors of the border village settled in houses that were still under construction, so that their presence would not affect the residents of the paradise.
Even if the noise lasts until midnight, there is no need to worry about disturbing the neighbors next door, because there are no houses nearby.
There seems to be an uncivilized rule in the paradise. After nightfall, the residents will blow out the lights and fall asleep.
When Zhou Xingyun and others slipped out of the mansion, the entire paradise was silent and there was no light.
However, when they arrived at the area where Mary and others lived, they found that it was brightly lit.
Although it was getting late, Zhou Xingyun was sure that Mary and the others were not asleep.
First, because of the brutal massacre in the border village, Mary and other survivors of the border village will probably have sleepless nights recently.
The second reason is that Qili'an, Wu Changhua and other girls did not come back. If Mary and others were asleep, they should have returned to the mansion.
When Zhou Xingyun and others arrived at the residence of Mary and her group, they saw several bonfires lit on the empty plains, and almost everyone was practicing martial arts around the bonfires.
It turns out that Mary and others all want to avenge their relatives who died tragically at the hands of the Arat bandits.
Qili'an, Impermanence Flower, and Seluvinia couldn't bear their entreaties, so they had to teach them some self-defense techniques.
After Zhou Xingyun and others arrived at the scene, they naturally blended in and began to instruct Mary and others in martial arts.
However, while Zhou Xingyun was teaching the other party self-defense techniques, he also did not forget to introduce Xiao Xiaosai to everyone.
Zhou Xingyun said that Xiao Xiaosai was the daughter of a noble from Mayba Castle, but her situation was the same as that of everyone in the border village. Her parents and relatives died tragically at the hands of the Alat bandits, and she was the only one who survived and escaped.
We are both fallen people from the end of the world, so why did we meet before? When we learned that Xiaosai, like her friends in the border village, had their parents and relatives killed by the Alat gang, Mary immediately felt pity and gave Xiaosai a big hug.
Little Sai looks to be only eleven or twelve years old, while Mary is a big sister of fourteen or fifteen years old.
Mary sympathized with Little Sai's experience and took great care of her. After the two met, Mary asked about her welfare, hoping that Little Sai would not be afraid anymore.
In Mary's heart, Xiao Sai's experience was worse and more helpless than that of her group. When Mary was devastated, her brother, Andy, and her friends from the border village comforted her. But Little Sai
only one person……
In this way, Xiao Xiaosai felt guilty and merged with Mary and others.
After all, Zhou Xingyun lied...
No, Zhou Xingyun didn't seem to be lying. She was indeed a noble daughter, and her adoptive father and mother really died tragically at the hands of the Alat band of thieves.
But Xiao Xiaosai felt guilty and felt that he had deceived the kind-hearted Mary and others.
Little Sai gradually learned about the living environment of the border village of Cheryl Principality from Mary and others. He learned that normal people work at sunrise and rest at sunset, and worry about their livelihood every day.
A life of fine clothing and fine food like a paradise is simply an unimaginable good life for the friends in the border village.
Mary and others knew that Xiao Xiaosai was an aristocratic daughter who was inexperienced in the world, so they gave her generous answers to all the common-sense questions she raised.
However, although Xiao Xiaosai asked many, many questions, she only got one answer in her heart...
Mary and the others are very gentle and kind-hearted good people.
"Little Lord."
While Xiao Sai was chatting happily with Mary and others, Xiao Sai came to Zhou Xingyun.
"Um...actually..." Zhou Xingyun clicked his tongue. He suddenly brought Xiao Sai here. Xiao Sai must have many questions in his heart. Zhou Xingyun didn't know how to report to Selvinia for a while.
However, what Zhou Xingyun didn't expect was that he hadn't figured out the matter yet and hadn't organized the words to tell Seluvinia what happened.
"Thank you for everything you have done for me." Seluvinia suddenly thanked him, leaned forward and kissed his forehead.
In an instant, Zhou Xingyun's old face turned red, and he giggled intoxicatedly, ah, this smells so good...
Little Sai Sai has no martial ethics! He actually carried out a sneak attack when he was not prepared! Misstep, misstep!
No matter Xiao Xiaosai or Xiao Saisai, she is so smart that even if Zhou Xingyun doesn't explain anything, she can still guess the whole story.
When he thought of this, Zhou Xingyun was suddenly startled. Could it be that Seluvinia had the memory of her childhood and would always remember him?
No, according to the laws of the world, the correction power of time and space will dilute and erase the memories related to them after they leave the martial arts world of the past. Little Sai will definitely forget him. So Seluvinia should not remember...
…
Wait! Since little Sai can forget him! Why can’t Little Sai remember him?
Just like Miss Impermanence Flower, when things develop to a certain extent, memories that were originally forgotten due to the correction power of time and space can be awakened.
It would make sense if Seluvinia was moved by the scene and recalled forgotten memories from the past, and then said these words to herself and kissed her.
Zhou Xingyun thought about it carefully in his heart and didn't bother to think about it. It's not a big problem anyway.
Admittedly, for Zhou Xingyun, it may not be a big problem, but deep down in Seluvinia's heart, in Xiao Sai's life, there is an unforgettable memory that cannot be let go.
