What surprised Fang Jie was that the student dormitories in the Yanwu Academy were not concentrated together. Instead, they are scattered very scattered in the martial arts courtyard, some in the garden, and some by the lake. They are chosen to be in the most beautiful places, rather than just a bunch of dry houses. Fang Jie admired this layout very much. The only thing that was not considerate enough was that the canteen did not deliver meals to the dormitory.
No matter where you live, you can only eat in the cafeteria.
Fang Jie first went back to his room to change clothes. When Qilin saw Fang Jie who was so exhausted that he almost collapsed on the ground, he quickly went to greet him. Fang Jie declined Qilin's offer to walk the last part of the way on his back and held on. He walked into the house by himself. He didn't bother to look at the layout of the room that had belonged to him for the past three years. The first thing Fang Jie did when he entered the room was to throw himself on the bed.
After lying like this for ten minutes, Fang Jie took off his wet clothes after regaining his breath. After changing into hospital clothes, he lay there for a while, then got up and walked out of the room. The moment he came out, he made himself look energetic, hiding the fatigue and pain in his body, and walked out of the yard as usual. You know, it is not easy to be able to walk without any problems.
As soon as he walked out of his yard, Fang Jie saw two people walking side by side towards him from a distance. The two people talked while walking. When they saw Fang Jie, they said hello from a distance.
It¡¯s Pei Chuxing and Yu Xiao.
When Fang Jie saw these two people, he raised his eyebrows for no reason.
He forced an apologetic smile on his face, quickened his pace and walked towards her.
"I'm really sorry. I promised to visit my two brothers, but some circumstances didn't make it possible. I hope my two brothers will take care of themselves."
Fang Jie apologized after saluting.
Pei Chuxing and Yu Xiao quickly stretched out their hands to support Fang Jie. Pei Chuxing smiled and said, "It's not like we don't know what happened to you, so how can we blame you? After my father found out, he specifically told me to come and visit you. Halfway there, You have bad luck when meeting strong men. You must know that the security of the imperial capital has always been very good. It's just because you live in Sanjinhou Mansion. I know that Sanjinhou recently left Chang'an, so I didn't go there. I also want to tell you. Sorry."
Yu Xiao also said: "You were already tired during the competition that day. You will naturally suffer more if you encounter bandits and fight again. But fortunately, you have good cultivation. If you were an ordinary person, you would have suffered an accident."
Fang Jie knew that these two people wanted to win over him, so he acted extremely politely. But it was precisely because of this politeness that he distanced himself from them. Yu Xiao and Pei Chuxing are such smart people, and they can naturally see the humility and politeness Fang Jie deliberately showed.
The three of them were chatting as they walked, talking about something they could not get along with. Neither Pei Chuxing nor Yu Xiao mentioned the visit, nor did their family's invitation to Fang Xie. They didn't say anything, and Fang Jie was happy to relax. As they were approaching the cafeteria, they met Xie Fuyao, Mo Xiandao and the others, and they all went to eat together.
I have to say that the food at Yanwuyuan is really good.
And drinking is not prohibited in the martial arts academy, and of course the food and drinks are not free. It was agreed that Yu Xiao would be the host today, and others would naturally not rush to pay the bill. Fang Jie was stingy, Zhang Kuang and Mo Xiandao were short of money, and as for Xie Fuyao and Pei Chuxing, they would not do anything they considered to be a petty thing like rushing to check out. This is the difference between the children of aristocratic families and ordinary people. If ordinary people drink with friends, they will often rush to pay, because in their view, this is respect for their friends and a sign of their hospitality.
In the eyes of the children of the aristocratic family, if it is agreed upon who will settle the bill and another person pays the money, then this is by no means a sign of respect, but an insult. Because even if there is more money for a meal and wine, why would they care? Compared with money, they care more about face.
After sitting down and making some introductions, the atmosphere became a little awkward. Zhang Kuang and Mo Xianda just kept their heads down while eating and drinking, without being polite or talking. Obviously the two of them were still a little wary of these young men from aristocratic families. If Fang Jie hadn't been there, they might have gotten up and left the table.
Xie Fuyao is a very special being. He already has a good relationship with Fang Jie, Zhang Kuang and Mo Xiandao. And he was a member of a noble family, so he had something to talk about with Yu Xiao and Pei Chuxing. Therefore, he had to act as a link, interspersing between two groups of people who seemed to be in harmony but who were distant from each other.
The wine was almost gone, and Pei Chuxing didn't seem to want to waste any more time in this embarrassing atmosphere. After a moment of silence, the other party explained: "Since Juexiao has recovered, how about we travel together to Chang'an when the Martial Arts Academy is allowed to go out in a few days? I know that after you arrived in the imperial capital, you probably didn't have time to travel around. Turn. There is a lot to see in Chang¡¯an.¡±
"Brother's kindness"However, how dare I disobey? "
Fang Jie offered a toast to Pei Chuxing and then responded.
Yu Xiao was overtaken by Pei Chuxing. He simply said nothing and stood up and said: "Since we have made an appointment, you can't miss me when the time comes. There are a few friends over there who just said hello. I'll go over and take a look. I've already told Guys here, I¡¯ll treat you to this meal.¡±
¡°Brother, if you have something to do, just go and do it yourself, don¡¯t worry about us.¡±
Fang Jie stood up and saw each other off, and Yu Xiao and Pei Chuxing left immediately. After the two of them left, Mo Xida picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp: "With these two people here, I feel so uncomfortable drinking."
"Now let's go, let's just let go."
Zhang Kuang smiled, picked up the wine glass and thanked Fuyao: "You are different from them, we recognize you as a brother!"
Xie Fuyao seemed very happy to say this arrogantly, and quickly picked up the wine glass and drank with him.
Fang Jie said with some displeasure: "How could you do this? They invited us to have this dinner and dinner, and you said such things before leaving. This is too abominable. You must be reasonable and polite. Why didn't we even say thank you after we said treat? Even if we don't say thank you, we should say something else, right?"
Zhang Kuang thought he was really complaining and asked subconsciously: "What should I say?"
Fang Jie raised his hand to say hello and shouted: "Brother, bring the recipe and add a few more dishes!"
¡¡

???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? out out of the sunset, sitting on a stone bench in the garden, watching the beautiful scenery reflected by the setting sun, and having eaten and drank enough, it feels a bit comfortable anyway. Xie Fuyao looked at Fang Jie, who was lying on the grass with no concern for his own image. He couldn't help but smile and said, "I have never seen such a petty person like you. Even if he doesn't spend his own money, he won't I¡¯m so stuffed that I can¡¯t even walk anymore.¡±
Fang Jie giggled, caressing his slightly swollen belly and sighed: "People are hospitable, so you have to act cooperative. What else can make the host happier than eating well and drinking well?"
He sighed slightly and said: "It's just a pity. I really want to order some more things to take away for a late-night snack, but I'm really embarrassed."
"Are you sorry, or are you really unable to eat anything today?"
Xie Fuyao smiled and teased: "At least you are a person of status now, so you have to worry about your etiquette and demeanor."
¡°It¡¯s useless to say all these things, the most practical thing is to fill your stomach.¡±
Fang Jie shook his head and said: "If you have time to cultivate well, nothing in the world is as difficult as eating. Every meal must be carefully savored and enjoyed. Otherwise, how can you be worthy of what you eat? How can you be worthy of the solemnity that can extend your life if you eat it? As for what Being polite and polite, who cares about those frivolous things when you only care about eating?¡±
"If you don't have time to practice well, nothing in the world will be as difficult as eating."
Xie Fuyao murmured and repeated, and then praised: "This sentence is wonderful!"
"There are many wonderful things to say, but I just want to ask you one thing now."
Fang Jie sat up with some difficulty, looked at Xie Fuyao and asked seriously: "You and I fought against each other that day at the Yanwu Academy. Why did you hold back?"
Xie Fuyao was startled, smiled, shook his head and said, "I didn't hold anything back."
"You think I believe it?"
Fang Jie said: "According to logic, everyone thought that you really had murderous thoughts towards me that day, and I even thought that you had murderous thoughts towards me at that time, so the two of us should be very estranged. You Do you know why the first thing I did after the competition was to buy you a drink?"
"Why?"
"Thank you classmate for your kindness in not killing me."
Fang Jie said with emotion: "Others only saw me knocking you down with one punch, but no one saw you deliberately retracting your finger when I was close. Since you dare to challenge the professor of the Yanwu Academy, so what? Maybe the Four Symbols were only practiced to Xia Dharma? It was confusing to everyone at the time, but they will surely be able to figure it out later.¡±
"How can you not say that you did your best that day?"
Xie Fuyao asked back.
Fang Jie smiled and was noncommittal.
"Fang Jie"
"Um?"
"Youreally can't practice?"
"Really, everyone knows it, don't you know it?"
"I know, I just want to hear your confirmation."
"You are just rubbing salt into other people's wounds, do you know that?"
Fang Jie rolled his eyes at him, looked at the sun that was no longer dazzling and sighed slightly: "You who are able to practice, when you know that I don't want toAfter being able to practice, you will probably think, Oh my, that guy is actually a loser who cannot practice. How could such a person win the first place in the martial arts academy examination? "
Xie Fuyao shook his head and said, "I don't think so."
"A lot of people think so."
Fang Jie said: "Since testing my cultivation power in the morning, many people have changed their eyes when they look at me. I know that it is contempt. Even if I get the first place, they still have the same contempt. First of all, my background is not noble. , and the second is that I have no potential for cultivation. With these two things, no one will think that I can achieve anything. In fact, most of the time people are like me, so they are all destined to be inactive. A foil for any era.¡±
"Whoever thinks this way is an idiot."
Xie Fuyao said: "The most important thing in the world is the people. No matter how powerful the empire is or how wealthy the family is, if there are no people, how can it still persist?"
Fang Jie smiled and said: "I am very happy that you have this kind of Marxism-Leninism thought."
"what is that?"
Xie Fuyao asked.
"He isa philosopher who advocates equality for all and a harmonious world."
"A very bold idea, but impractical. And the name of this philosopher is also very strange, Marx and Engel. I don't know what it means."
Fang Jie didn¡¯t know how to continue making it up, so he had to change the topic.
"Didn't you say that if there was a war, you wouldn't enter the martial arts academy? Why did you choose to come in even though you knew the imperial court was going to use troops in the northwest?"
After Xie Fuyao was silent for a moment, he said in a solemn tone: "I don't know what you think, but I feel this battle will never be easy. Those who enter the martial arts academy may not be able to stay here for three years. "
Fang Jie's expression changed slightly, and he couldn't help but said, "If you say this, I'm afraid you will suffer if others listen to you."
Xie Fuyao shook his head: "You won't tell outsiders what I'm afraid of. Why don't we make a bet on whether you and I can study peacefully in the Yanwu Academy for three years. If we can, you will win. Well, I¡¯ll teach you the Wudang Mountain Liangyi Sword Technique. If you can¡¯t, I¡¯ll win, okay?¡±
"LookI told you that you still have something to sell. In the martial arts field that day, you only used the four elephant fingers instead of the Liangyi swordWhat did I lose to you?"
Fang Jie asked angrily.
"Stand by my side."
Xie Fuyao said in a calm but serious tone: "If you and I are going to the battlefield, then I hope you are the one standing next to me."
"Why?"
"There are few people in the entire Yanwu Academy who know what war is like than you. There are also few people who know how to survive a war better than you. If the Xie family is not revived, I will not be able to die."
Fang Jie remained silent. When the setting sun disappeared from the horizon, he slowly stood up and walked towards his yard.
"One word is settled."
PS: I am shameless enough to ask for a red ticket, and then I am even more shameless to ask for a reward, thank you!
