Great Creator

Chapter 173 Flexibility and Stubbornness (12)

A passerby sighed beside him: "Hey, why are you so stubborn, girl? I see, the reason why the dean didn't accept you is because you don't look like you are here to study, but you look like you are here to visit the mountains. Playing with water. You might as well go back, wait a few days, watch the dean calm down, change into coarse clothes, take off the sword, come over and make a sincere gesture, and see if the dean will let go. No, the girl should go home."

Zhou Xia turned to the passer-by and said, "Thank you uncle, but you don't need to persuade me. I am such a person, I like to wear nice clothes, and I also like to practice swords. Besides, before I come, I will discuss the matter of the Taoist monastery." I have fully understood that there is no rule in the Taoist Academy that stipulates that disciples must wear plain clothes, or are not allowed to carry weapons. In this case, I have the qualifications to enter the Taoist Academy. Dean Wen Ling once said that Taoism follows nature .Since the Taoist temple respects nature, why can't I enter the hospital with my natural appearance?"

Passers-by were speechless for a moment, and could only shake their heads and smile wryly. This girl is indeed very smart, but she doesn't know how to adapt and can't compromise.

It can only be said that this child is still too young. After a few more years, he can sharpen his edges and corners before he can get better and know how to be flexible and follow other people's wishes.

After a while, Zhou Xia's old mother found her a cloth mat and asked her to kneel on it, but Zhou Xia took it without hesitation and made the mat.

Then some people around sneered: "Look, you are indeed a noble lady. Even if you pretend to kneel here, you can't kneel uncomfortable. You have to find a cushion and kneel comfortably."

Zhou Xia stared straight into the monastery, unmoved by the discussions next to him.

She has her flexible way and will not deliberately treat herself badly, but she also has her own principles and persistence.

In this way, she knelt for several hours not far from the gate of the Taoist monastery until it was dark and the onlookers gradually dispersed. Then Zhou Xia got up dejectedly and left accompanied by the old lady and the guards.

The people in the monastery thought she had finally given up, but unexpectedly, the next day, Zhou Xia came again.

She brought a thick mat directly, walked to the door of the monastery, spread the mat, and knelt down in a daze.

"Next week Xia, I will seek the Tao with all my heart, and ask Dean Wen Ling to give me a chance! If I can't pass, I will never pester me again!"

No one in the monastery responded to her. Zhou Xia looked at the monastery. People came in and out of the house from time to time, and occasionally someone looked at her, but no one responded to her.

Everyone knew that Wen Ling didn't want to take her in, so no one dared to speak.

Zhou Xia lowered her head and continued to kneel on the mat.

She just kept kneeling like this, drinking water when she was thirsty, leaving once in a while, and then coming back to continue kneeling. Kneeling like this until noon, the old lady brought her food, and she ate in silence.

When the sun was shining, Zhou Xia would move under the shade of a tree, and when it was raining, she would ask her mother to hold an umbrella for her. Zhou Xia felt that she came here to study, not to show misery, and she should let Wen Ling see her sincerity, instead of deliberately making herself miserable to seek sympathy.

In this way, Zhou Xia knelt until the third day.

There were always people around who made sarcastic remarks, and some people tried to tease her with words, but she just let the guards surround her to protect her, but she didn't say a word.

In the end, even the guards of the monastery were a little surprised. No matter whether the little girl came to the monastery with impure motives or not, her perseverance is remarkable.

What's more, from Zhou Xia's conversations with the people around him, he vaguely sensed that this girl didn't seem to be what some people said at the beginning. I came here to study after learning some relevant knowledge through the way.

Looking at Zhou Xia's upright and unyielding figure, he even gradually began to look forward to Wen Ling letting the little girl enter school.

However, Lu Lun himself finally arrived in Jingguo.

The reason why his subordinates came so fast was that they rushed over without sleep, but he himself would not work so hard, coming to Jingguo in a carriage. He had been busy thinking that Zhou Xia had already touched a bag and was about to go home, but he happened to meet him by the way and give him some comfort.

When he arrived in Jing Country, he realized that things were not as easy as he thought.

This Zhou Xia, even though he was slandered so much, received cold reception and misunderstanding from everyone, and was even unceremoniously rejected by Wen Ling himself, he never gave up at all. Even, she almost planned to stay at the gate of this monastery permanently, with food, drink and cushions, and she seemed to see nothing unusual except that she was sluggish after kneeling for a long time.

Tao Cui was also looking at Zhou Xia who was kneeling at the entrance of the monastery from a distance. She had been trying to curry favor with Lu Lun these days, but unfortunately it didn't work. Lu Lun still wanted to pursue Zhou Xia. But she is not in a hurry, as long as Lu Lun gets Zhou Xia, she has made a great contribution, and she can be regarded as being close to Lu Lun's line, and there will be a lot of benefits at that time.

After watching for a while, Lu Lun's subordinates came to greet him one after another, and then reported what happened in the past three days.

After listening to everyone's reports, Lu Lun threw the question to Tao Cui: "Do you have any good ideas?"

In fact, Tao Cui has been thinking about these things along the way, and now she has an idea after thinking about it: "Mr. Lu, it seems that Zhou Xia will not give up until he is completely kicked out of the Taoist temple."

With an impatient look on his face, Lu Lun snorted coldly: "What's your idea, tell me!"

Tao Cui's thoughts turned and turned in her mind, showing a cruel smile: "I have a plan here, which can ruin her reputation and make her no longer have any possibility of studying. She can only be driven away by Wen Ling directly. If Mr. Lu wants to listen……"

Lu Lun roared: "Tell me as soon as I tell you! Don't dawdle! I don't care what reputation Zhou Xia has, as long as I get her!"

...

In the monastery, in the study.

"well……"

Huang Si sat in Wen Ling's grand teacher's chair, with his feet directly on the desk, and sighed while reading.

Wen Ling's place was occupied, but there were other chairs in the study, and he didn't sit on it. He was just flipping through the mathematics materials that Huang Si piled up on the table, but unfortunately, he couldn't understand anything. Now hearing Huang Si sigh, Wen Ling asked curiously:

"Is the god worried about something?"

"Well, the problem of P and NP, as a kind of computing theory, is really a foundation of computers. There are many problems surrounding this problem..." Huang Sigang was halfway talking to himself, then suddenly paused, and then turned to Wen Ling Said: "It seems that someone is going to make trouble outside, you go and deal with it."

Wen Ling didn't know why Huang Si suddenly brought up things outside, but she nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go out and have a look."

He left the study and walked towards the entrance of the monastery. From a distance, he didn't see anyone making trouble, but he saw Zhou Xia still kneeling at the entrance.

During these three days, it wasn't that he didn't care about Zhou Xia's affairs at all, but he asked someone to inquire about Zhou Xia's situation.

It is said that Zhou Xia was born rich and powerful in the Zhuang Kingdom, she was extremely smart since she was a child, and she learned everything, so she was extremely proud of it, and often said that no one could teach her such things.
