Chapter 686 What Is Injustice? Rebuke From Chen Xintong
Hearing this, Chen Xintong frowned slightly, and then said: "Oh, unfair? What's unfair? Let me ask you, what is the first lesson that students of Tianwai Tian have to learn after entering Mo?"
"The first lesson, the first lesson is to read the 'Four Books and Five Classics' and learn the words of the saints." Although the old man didn't understand why Chen Xintong asked such a question, he still answered truthfully.
"Learn the words of the saints, then do you still remember the words of the saints?" Chen Xintong asked again.
"Of course I remember." The old man nodded.
"Since you remember, then tell me what 'a gentleman is open and honest while a villain is always worried' means, what 'a saint is like this, repeating over and over again' means, and what 'the heaven moves vigorously, a gentleman strives to improve himself' means?"
"This..."
The old man was speechless for a moment. He finally understood why Chen Xintong asked him these questions. For a moment, he didn't know how to answer. Everyone present had read the saint's articles and knew these words, but at this moment they couldn't answer Chen Xintong's words.
"What? Have you forgotten the saint's teachings? Or are you so arrogant that you can ignore the saint?"
"I dare not!" The old man touched his head to the ground and said no more.
Seeing that the old man said no more, Chen Xintong continued: "You keep saying that this trial is unfair, so I will tell you what is unfair. Your Tianwaitian family is the descendant of the saints, enjoying the blessing of talent and cultivating oneself with literature and Taoism. This is unfair."
"Secular students have to study hard for ten years before they have the opportunity to enter the ink, but you younger generations can all use the talent stone to enter the ink. This is unfair."
"When people from Tianguan enter the ink, they have to go to the battlefield to fight against the alien races, fight for Tianyuan, and suffer all kinds of hardships; Tianwaitian students enjoy all the blessings of the saints, but do all kinds of despicable things. This is unfair. There are so many injustices, why don't you say anything?"
"I..." The old man heard the words, his face was bitter, and he was speechless.
"Let me ask you, since the establishment of Tianwaitian, has Tianwaitian ever asked the families to give up teaching students how to deal with the chaotic alien races?" Chen Xintong asked again.
"No." The old man shook his head.
"Then let me ask you again, has the Master Hall ever targeted any student from the Outer Heaven because of selfishness?" Chen Xintong asked.
"Not really." The old man shook his head again.
"Then you hundreds of people came here to complain to me about injustice, then I ask you, what is injustice?"
Chen Xintong's words directly shocked all the scholars present, and the scholars present buried their heads even lower.
"But what about you? You actually questioned whether this battle of a hundred schools of thought was unfair? Ha, what a joke. If you are weak, you will die if you die. It's fine if you don't understand the rules of resurrection, but you actually come to me to complain to me?"
"Your Tianwaitian family treats them as flowers in a greenhouse and doesn't let them know the cruelty of the chaotic world. Now I give them the opportunity to experience and let them know the feeling of death. You actually say this is unfair?"
"If you feel it is unfair, you can just ask them not to participate in this battle of a hundred schools of thought. I will never stop them."
Chen Xintong's voice became colder and colder. In the end, it made all the scholars present tremble with fear.
Especially the old man in the front, who was frightened by Chen Xintong's words and crawled on the ground at this moment, not daring to move at all.
"Is it because I am too easygoing on weekdays that you forget my identity and have the illusion that I can be controlled by the families of Tianwaitian?"
As soon as these words came out, a terrifying murderous intent suddenly descended outside the entire Master's Hall. All the leaders of the Tianwaitian families who came here felt this terrifying murderous intent, which made them tremble in their hearts and crawl on the ground, not daring to move at all.
"Chen, Master Chen, please forgive me, we don't mean that."
"Yes, Master Chen, please forgive me, we have no intention of threatening you."
"I hope Master Chen will forgive me..."
At this moment, all the leaders of the Tianwaitian families who came here were panicked. They felt Chen Xintong's cold murderous intent and were afraid that this matter would bring disaster to their families.
At this moment, they regretted very much in their hearts that they should not have listened to and rashly come here and actively provoked Chen Xintong.
Chen Xintong did not continue to speak, but quietly looked at the people kneeling, and the terrifying murderous intent gradually dissipated.
After an unknown amount of time, Chen Xintong spoke again, "Since this is your first offense, I will forgive you this time. If there is a next time, I will never tolerate it. As for the rules of resurrection of students in the Divine Eye Fantasy World, you can explore it yourself."
"Get lost!"
Chen Xintong's cold voice exploded in everyone's ears like thunder, making everyone tremble.
"Thank you, Master Chen, we will take our leave."
Everyone felt as if they had been pardoned. After repeatedly bowing to Chen Xintong, they stood up and slowly left the Master's Hall.
It was not until they were far away from the Master's Hall that everyone breathed a sigh of relief. At this moment, their backs were soaked with cold sweat. At this moment, they really understood what kind of existence Chen Xintong, who was always kind and easy-going, was.
Chen Xintong is one of the only two sub-saints walking in the world, and his strength has almost reached the pinnacle of Tianyuan. Even the one in the secular world is just a junior in front of Chen Xintong. The family leaders are just semi-saint scholars. Although they are over a thousand years old and look older, they are still juniors in front of Chen Xintong, who is now over two thousand years old.
The gap between everyone present and Chen Xintong is like a chasm in every aspect. No matter how dissatisfied they are in their hearts, they dare not show it at this moment.
"Fortunately, Master Chen is kind..."
"Yes, it is a blessing in disguise that we can save our lives this time."
"It is indeed our fault. Master Chen has let us off the hook by not punishing us. As for the rules of resurrection in the Divine Eyes Fantasy World, we should find another way to explore it."
"That's right. We should leave quickly and not stay here any longer to cause trouble."
As soon as the voice fell, everyone turned around and left, not daring to stay in the Lingyun Pavilion any longer.
"Xintong, after all, they are the heads of the families in the outer world. Sometimes, we still have to give them some face."
A figure wearing a dazzling golden Confucian robe appeared. Looking closely, the sleeves of the robe were embroidered with intricate and delicate cloud dragon patterns, and the whole body exuded a faint glow. He wore a phoenix feather hair-binding golden crown on his head. Under the golden crown was a face with clear contours, sword eyebrows and star eyes. His eyes were deep and complex. At this moment, he was staring at Chen Xintong beside him tenderly and helplessly.
When Chen Xintong saw that the person coming was her teacher Ran Qiu, she half-knelt and bowed, saying, "Greetings, Holy Master."
