09164-Fate

Pei Wuyao's appearance is information that is publicly available and easy to find.Those who try to get close to me through Pei Wuyao, or those who just want to be nice to me but can't find an opportunity to show courtesy to me directly, will know Pei Wuyao's face by heart and make it easier for Pei Wuyao.On the other hand, those who don't like me, and those who don't want to give others the impression of hugging and flattering, will intentionally avoid getting close to Pei Wuyao.

In other words, Pei Wuyao's interpersonal relationship with people, especially those he doesn't know very well, is greatly influenced by me.

Pei Wuyao didn't seem to care about it, he picked out the points that he could use and tried to make himself as comfortable as possible.

Pei Wuyao: "When strangers meet for the first time, they have the impression of you, Master, in their impression of me. This is normal. After all, your influence is so great, Master. People still only think that I am an accessory of you, Master, and I have no value in itself, then either I will dislike that person and refuse to continue to communicate with him, or after he realizes that I will not help him connect with you, Master, he will feel that There is no need to continue to curry favor with me, the ending is still that I no longer have any contact with him. In the end, it is all about returning to the relationship of strangers. It is just a passer-by who has no fate."

Pei Wuyao: "There are so many people in the world, and most of them must be passers-by who have no destiny with me. I don't have to let my eyes be too entangled with those people. I should focus more on the people who have destiny with me."

Pei Wuyao also disliked me and his master's difficulty in recruiting apprentices: "What a big deal. I'll help you choose."

I don't know if his master still acquiesced or encouraged this bold statement in a disguised form. In short, after Pei Wuyao selected Jin Yuyuan as an apprentice candidate for his master, he happily sent a notification message to his master. , but for the time being, his master hasn't replied yet.

If my master doesn't reply to my message, I usually assume that he thinks what I said is boring and is too lazy to refute it, but I'm not sure if my master has a different way of getting along with his disciples and grandchildren.

Pei Wuyao said to Jin Yuyuan: "Elder Pei Ji is busy, so he will be slower to reply to the news, but no matter whether he accepts you as an apprentice in the end, he will definitely give you an accurate answer."

Jin Yuyuan thanked repeatedly: "I am very grateful for being able to impress Elder Pei Ji at the very beginning."

Me: "Even if this quasi-word may not be given to you until the one-year observation period of the outer sect expires, you two can only give it to you after you enter the inner sect? Generally, the masters of the Yunxia Sect select apprentices from those who have passed the entrance examination and wait for the disciples to enter the inner sect." Even if the masters have already taken a fancy to you shortly after you passed the entrance exam, they will not mention it for now, and wait for you to pass the entire observation period of the outer sect in peace before making a real decision."

Me: "Although the questions of the entrance examination revealed many of your xinxing tendencies, the time is too short, so the focus is on drawing your upper and lower limits, proving that you will not do things that cross the bottom line of Yunxiazong, but more subtle things. It depends on the details of your daily life. This is one of the reasons why new disciples must stay in the outer sect for at least a year if there is no accident."

Lege and Jin Yuyuan both showed surprise, but did not express dissatisfaction with this matter.

I continued to scare them: "In this year when you two have the opportunity to become the apprentices of me and Elder Pei Ji, but there is no certainty, many disciples in the outer sect will express jealousy to you, and may actually do some harm to you." Benefits, things that make you feel bad. Those things are unlikely to cause serious harm to you. After all, the people who did those things did not dare to challenge Yunxiazong's rule of "not to cause irreversible harm to fellow sects". They are also afraid that you will really become the apprentices of me and Elder Pei Ji, and then have a backer to settle accounts with them. But many small stumbling blocks that are not harmful are really disgusting."

Me: "There is a wave of acid words every now and then; when you distribute welfare materials, you are given the worst-looking ones every time; when assigning tasks, you are either given the most difficult ones or the most marginal ones. If you protest, They will also accuse you of disobedience to command and lack of team awareness; when you ask your seniors questions, your seniors are secretive or eccentric..."

Me: "The disciples of the outer sect, especially those who have been in the outer sect for a long time and seem to have no hope of entering the inner sect, generally have various deficiencies in their xinxing. They have neither the courage to do evil frankly, nor do they have a clean mind. Jingdishan is in a very twisted state. And it can also influence the little disciples who have been with them for a long time and are not firm enough to be twisted."

Me: "Maybe you want to ask, why do many inner disciples look down on outer disciples when they know that outer disciples have some deficiencies, and why do they still keep the 'outer disciples' as their own family? 'What about such a setting? Apart from the fact that there is still room for salvage for these outer sect disciples' twists and turns, another reason is that the outer sect is used to grind away the superfluous arrogance of the new disciples."

Me: "As new disciples, you have just passed the entrance examination of the Seventh University. Are you very proud and satisfied? But then you were assigned to the outer sect, and you have to stay in the outer sect for at least one year. Then When you get along with those outer sect disciples, you find that they don't have the detached temperament you imagined. They don't have fairy aura, but they are full of worldliness. They are no different from the boring adults you saw in the mortal world before you came to Yunxiazong. Are you disappointed? Are you shocked? Really want to leave Yunxia Sect and just be a carefree casual cultivator?"

Leger said anxiously, "I don't think so."

Me: "Because you haven't officially lived in the outer gate yet."

Legge: "..."

Me: "If you leave the Yunxia Sect directly in that disappointment, it can only be regarded as you have no destiny with the Yunxia Sect. Note that if you say you want to withdraw from the sect at this time, it is generally not regarded as a traitor. You should leave within one year after passing the entrance examination. This sect will basically be regarded as a peaceful breakup. Replacing a company in the mortal world is probably equivalent to resigning during the internship period. At this time, you have not had time to touch the important information of the company, and you have not yet made important contributions to the company. , you are not important to the company and the company is not important to you, if you separate, it may be a good thing to stop losses in time."

Me: "One year is enough time for Yunxiazong to observe you clearly, and it is also enough for you to see the side of Yunxiazong that makes you feel the most uncomfortable. When this running-in period is over, if you are still willing to stay in Yunxiazong, If Yunxia Sect has masters who have selected you as apprentices, you will enter the inner sect."

Me: "After entering the inner sect, at least you will not live too much, and you can concentrate on practicing happily. Even if you are stuck in the bottleneck period later, it is a refreshing pain. Even if you are stuck Being out of breath, being suffocated to death, or simply being suffocated to death, is also a pain in cultivation, not a pain in human nature, so... it’s not so necessary.”

Jin Yuyuan: "Is firewood, rice, oil and salt a bad thing?"

Me: "No. For many monks, fireworks are the anchor that can stabilize themselves. As long as they can still see the secular world and see daily necessities, they will not lose their way forward. Once you really transcend the mundane, think If you possess the temperament of a fairy, you will not be far from collapse."

Jin Yuyuan: "..."

Pei Wuyao looked at Jin Yuyuan: "That's why I only chose Le Ge as my junior. Your brain is not suitable for listening to my master's nonsense. You must be like me and Le Ge who can ignore the nonsense and only focus on the key points." An expert in screening is suitable to have a master who is as outspoken as Pei Lin."

Legge: "..."

Jin Yuyuan showed a look of sudden realization: "This is the fate that monks emphasize very much."

Pei Wuyao nodded seriously: "That's it."

I pointed at Pei Wuyao with my index finger: "You, send the two of them back to the outer gate, and then you also live in the outer gate, and return to Yaofeng after a year."

09167-Rules are not the enemy

Pei Wuyao: "Is there no suspense for me to enter the inner sect after a year? Some outer disciples need to pass exams or competitions to enter the inner sect. Will you ask me to participate in those?"

Me: "It depends on my mood at that time. If you always don't respect me as a master, maybe I will set up more obstacles for you at that time, or simply let you stay in the outer sect for a few more years."

Pei Wuyao: "But if I go out to do tasks every day as a disciple of the outer sect, will I not have to be affected by the atmosphere of the outer sect?"

Me: "You are away every day, that is, you lack a sense of belonging to Yunxia Sect. Maybe you can consider that your entrance exam results are wrong. In fact, you should not pass. I can recommend you to the Loose Cultivation Alliance at that time."

Pei Wuyao: "I'm not going to the Loose Cultivator Alliance. Even if I'm not a disciple of Yunxia Sect and want to become a Loose Cultivator, I have to be a serious Loose Cultivator so as not to mix with the Loose Cultivator Alliance. But it's best not to be kicked out of Yunxia Sect I actually have a sense of belonging to Yunxia Sect. I like the atmosphere of the inner sect, but I am afraid that I won’t be able to adapt to the outer sect. What if I fight with the disciples of the outer sect and beat them seriously, what should I do?"

Me: "In the case of the same level, winning or losing depends on one's own ability. You just need to be careful not to kill yourself, and no one will care about you. Of course, if innocent people are involved in a fight, you will be accused and punished."

I looked at Lege and Jin Yuyuan again: "You two too. You must abide by the rules, but you don't need to add extra restraints to yourself. The old fritters among the outer disciples, you can learn from their attitude towards the rules, such as using the rules to Seeking profit for oneself, also like breaking some small rules appropriately to create more space for oneself to move."

Me: "As long as you are suitable for Yunxiazong, then one day, you will feel that all the rules of Yunxiazong are your helpers, not your enemies."

Legge: "...Yes."

Jin Yuyuan: "Well, Pei...Senior, do we really have the hope of becoming your apprentice...or junior brother?"

Me: "There is always hope. What you do with this hope in this year, and how you treat others who know you have this hope, will become one of the elements that determine whether this hope will come true."

Jin Yuyuan: "What counts as a good performance?"

Me: "I can't tell. I have some ideas about how to calculate this matter, but if your performance is completely in line with my expectations, without the slightest deviation, I will feel very wrong and feel that I am not the same as you. You don't have the fate of master and apprentice. So you need to behave in line with my aesthetics, but you also need to show something that I didn't expect."

Me: "I don't know what kind of accident it should be. What I can't tell in advance is called an accident."
