Mythology Starts with Childish Skills

People are indeed like this. When they are helpless, they will deceive themselves. Otherwise, there would not be the idiom "self-deception".

Xie Jun is like this. He may not have information channels like Meng Zhao, who can collect so much information about Xie Wanzhi, and speculate that Xie Wanzhi has problems and is not a good person.

However, Xie Jun is a very sharp and smart person. He simply relies on intuition and realizes that he may be a tool raised by Xie Wanzhi. In normal times, he trains him as an apprentice, but when the time is right, he will sacrifice him without hesitation.

Such sharp intuition is sometimes a good thing, and sometimes it may not be a good thing.

For example, Xie Jun, he sensed the danger in advance, but he was weak in martial arts and had no ability to resist. He could only live in pain and despair, and could not see any hope. In the end, he even had to deceive himself to seek some comfort.

To be honest, it is much better to know the truth when you are about to die than to know the truth very early, but be powerless, and fall into a panic all day long.

Although Lui Lok's words today didn't seem to have much substance, they really broke the psychological defenses that Xie Jun had set for himself, and he completely collapsed. No, it can't be said that he collapsed, but he stopped deceiving himself and began to move from fantasy to reality.

"Brother Xie, you are a very smart person. You should understand why my young master suddenly acted like this today and sent me to find you."

Lui Lok was satisfied. Since Xie Jun was so frank, he didn't want to continue beating around the bush. It would be best for everyone to put their thoughts on the surface.

"Brother Lu, King Meng Long can save me, but he may not be willing to save me. The reason he does this is nothing more than that he thinks I have value. Perhaps, I can become a nail buried next to my master, right?"

Xie Jun has already behaved very rationally at this time. This is the fact. Lu Le will not deny it. He nodded and said,

"You are right. The young master is not a very loving person, but he is more tolerant and respectful to people of value.

You have good talent and potential. You have the hope of becoming a master in the future. Even with the advice of my young master, you are not without hope of becoming a grand master.

But this is not the reason why he pays attention to you. If you want to really get the favor of the young master, you must show your sincerity and prove your value. I say this not to force you, but to help you. You must understand this!"

Some people think highly of themselves and take the help of others for granted. Instead of being grateful, they may even backfire.

Xie Jun is not such a person. Just like his keen insight, he is also very talented in judging the situation.

In this world, everyone is cleaning up their own mess, not caring about other people's troubles!

Meng Zhao is so honest, and Lu Le is so sincere, which is rare.

He also knows that he must make a choice now, whether to continue to deceive himself and walk towards the road of death, or to take Meng Zhao's ride, maybe there is a chance to survive.

Any normal person will choose the latter, and Xie Jun is no exception.

"Okay, then I'll say it straight. As long as Meng Longwang can save my life, I will follow Meng Longwang's lead in the future. I will also pay attention to Xie Wanzhi at all times. I will report to Meng Longwang in detail any action he takes."

Xie Jun's full bet is very pleasing to Lu Le, and it is considered another relief.

At least, Lu Le still hopes that Xie Jun can make the right choice and fight for a way out for himself!

At night, outside the room, it is still freezing cold, and goose feather-sized snowflakes are floating in the sky, dyeing the whole world into a piece of white.

There was a heater in the house. Xie Jun was dressed neatly, sitting alone by the bed in deep thought, stroking a short knife unconsciously in his hand.

Time passed by, and just as he was about to turn off the lights and go to bed, a faint voice suddenly came to his ears,

"Xie Jun, come out to see me!"

This voice was so familiar and so terrifying that it made his heart tremble. He couldn't help but hold the short knife tightly, but immediately let go.

Xie Wanzhi, yes, it was Xie Wanzhi.

He really didn't die, and secretly came to Meng's house and lurked there.

This made Xie Jun regretful and relieved.

The regret is that Xie Wanzhi didn't die, and his safety was never guaranteed, even if he got Meng Zhao's promise.

Without any hesitation, Xie Jun inserted the short knife and sheath into the inner edge of his long boots, then pushed the door out, followed the induction in his heart, and came to the farm on the northwest side of Mengjiazhuang.

He did not go to find Lu Le, nor did he alarm Meng Zhao, because he knew that his role was to be a chess piece, hiding beside Xie Wanzhi, to find out his secrets and details, and to give him a fatal blow at a critical moment.

In return, perhaps, when Xie Wanzhi wanted to attack him, or when he sensed danger, he could ask Meng Zhao for help, and there was a high probability that he would get Meng Zhao's help and have a chance of survival.

Now, Xie Wanzhi had no intention of killing him, and he was temporarily safe, so naturally he did not need to have too much contact with Meng Zhao to avoid exposing himself.

Mengjiazhuang was very large and had been expanded many times. It was no less than an ordinary town. In comparison, the farms in the northwest area had fewer warriors, and most of them were the families of the strong men in the worship hall of the farm. It was no wonder that Xie Wanzhi chose to meet him here.

Of course, in Xie Jun's opinion, the reason why Xie Wanzhi chose this place was more likely to avoid Meng Zhao.

He had seen the Northern Meng Dragon King in the daytime, and he was not very touched, but he had a few feelings.

First, he was young, with a face that looked a few years younger than himself. It was hard to imagine how such a young person could have such a terrifying achievement.

Second, he was overbearing. His style of doing things was self-centered, which was a manifestation of strength and self-centeredness. Compared with Xie Wanzhi and Meng Zhao, he seemed easy to talk to.

Third, and most importantly, Xie Jun did not find that Meng Zhao had any signs of injury, nor did he show any corresponding behavior.

In his eyes, Meng Zhao was lazy and looked like an ordinary rich man's son, surrounded and served by maids, but his aura was very harmonious and his face was very rosy, and there was nothing wrong with him.

This made him wonder, was Meng Zhao really injured, or was he deliberately spreading the news with ulterior motives?

Especially Meng Zhao's attitude towards Xie Wanzhi was very casual and strong, which was completely unlike the kind of caution that should be shown because he was injured and had to seek help from a strong person.

It was like, he didn't care about Xie Wanzhi's attitude and thoughts at all, but he would plant a chess piece out of caution, which was a means, not a mentality.

Xie Jun felt that it was normal for Xie Wanzhi to be so cautious, otherwise if he really treated this place as his own backyard, he would probably fail! (End of this chapter)
