Chapter 172 The Purpose of Seeking the Way (2/2)

Wen Ling likes smart people, but it is not good if a person is too smart. He is too smart and easily complacent, but his way tends to be clumsy and simple.

Thinking of this, Wen Ling walked to Zhou Xia.

Zhou Xia immediately raised her head and said, "Director Wen, please at least one question for me in the school entrance exam and give me a chance!"

Wen Ling sighed and said, "Okay, then I will ask you, why is your ultimate goal when you come to me to learn Taoism?"

The people around him thought that Zhou Xia would probably say something righteous, but unexpectedly, Zhou Xia said sincerely:

"Director Wen, I came to the Taoist temple to become stronger. You are the reincarnation of the gods, you are knowledgeable in Taoism, and you can fight against a hundred. You must be the strongest among the human race. I came here to become a strong man like you."

All the onlookers were stunned.

Don’t this girl know how to hide it? She speaks so directly?

Wen Ling was completely disappointed with Zhou Xia this time. This girl was not suitable for the Taoist temple. He shook his head and said, "If this is true, Miss Zhou, I can only refuse you to be admitted to the hospital. The Taoist temple's learning is not to make people stronger. Learning is getting more and more difficult, and it is not suitable for you. Please go back."

Zhou Xia was stunned for a moment, and then quickly defended: "Director Wen, indeed, my purpose is different from other people who just want to study and learn, but my heart is sincere, and I will work very hard..."

But before she could finish speaking, Wen Ling interrupted her and said:

"Please go back and reflect on what path you want to take. In a few years, if you still have the heart to say, it will not be too late to come again."

Wen Ling felt that if he didn't let down his face and completely refused, this stubborn girl was afraid that she would not leave. What's more, giving Zhou Xia a little setback would make her more mature. In the future, whether Zhou Xia would like to continue to study with him or not, it would be beneficial to her.

If Zhou Xia had experienced these setbacks and was still willing to come to learn Taoism at that time, then he would truly have the indomitable desire to seek Taoism. Only then would he have a test for her and then formally enter the door.

After hearing Wen Ling's final rejection, Zhou Xia's body shook slightly, and then slowly buckled her back.

After a while, Wen Ling heard her sob.

A ray of sympathy emerged in Wen Ling's heart, but he quickly restrained his emotions, turned his back, and never looked at Zhou Xia again, leaving by stepping.

Zhou Xia's crying became louder and louder, and finally he had to lie on the ground and support herself with his hands. The ground in front of him was almost wet. Her two old mothers felt distressed and kept persuading her.

Lu Lun and Tao Cui were also a little surprised when they watched from a distance. Why had Wen Ling completely rejected Zhou Xia before they could do it?

But that's fine, this saves them the effort. Now I'm waiting for Zhou Xia to return.

Next to Zhou Xia, including the guards, several people came to persuade her. She said thank you several times, then wiped her tears with her sleeves, raised her head, and gritted her teeth and stood up.

"Let's go back to the inn."

Zhou Xia's voice was still choked, but she forced herself to keep crying.

When Wen Ling returned to the study, he saw Huang Si sitting on the table, leaning against his mathematical data behind him. In fact, the thickness of this stack of data often changes. From time to time, Huang Si would find some more data in his hands. After looking at it, he put it on the pile of data. Now, the height of data has increased again and is almost piled on the roof.

Seeing Wen Ling enter the study, Huang Si asked him: "Did you reject Zhou Xia outside?"

Wen Ling nodded: "I think she is not suitable to enter my Taoist temple now, so I asked her to go back to China."

Huang Si looked at the mathematical materials in his hand. Various formulas were constantly stacked on that page, and from time to time, he automatically turned to the next page and piled up more formulas. Wen Ling also looked at the magical information curiously.

"Don't you think that girl looks very much like you when you were a child?" Huang Si said as she looked at the math problem.

"Well, it's true, but it's because it's very similar that I know that I can't let her go wrong. She must change her arrogance and calm her mind before she can start learning Taoism. I directly gave her a setback to see if she will change it like me." Wen Ling sighed, and he recalled the moment he was taught by Huang Si in the past.

At that time, he was complacent because of his talent and was addicted to showing off and disputes. It was not until the arrival of Xiyuan that he understood what it means to have people outside the heavens.

Huang Si's gaze moved away from the mathematical materials and looked at Wen Ling thoughtfully: "But, Zhu Yao, my opinion of this girl is different from that of you. You may be too blind and partial."

Wen Ling was stunned for a moment. He thought about it but still didn't know where he made a mistake. He really rejected Zhou Xia's sake.

He thought for a long time, but couldn't figure out what was wrong. This girl was indeed not suitable to enter the Taoist temple. So Wen Ling said, "Please respect the gods and show them."

Huang Si said lightly: "This is just my personal opinion. It is different from you. Wait and see her results."

...

But Zhou Xia was not so calm.

She took the people around her back to the inn, but unexpectedly, she saw someone she hated at the entrance of the inn.

"Xia Xia, what a coincidence, are you in Jingguo too? I happened to be doing business here too. I just finished it today and was about to go back. I don't know you..." Lu Lun stood at the door, posing in a very attractive position, showing his attentiveness to Zhou Xia.

Before he finished speaking, Zhou Xia threw down a sentence: "I'm not available." Then he went straight into the inn.

Looking at Zhou Xia's back, Lu Lun secretly hated her.

Why is this little girl not tactful? She is obviously so miserable, so why don’t she find a man to rely on? Even his identity as the queen’s nephew can’t attract her?

It seems that he needs to make some moves on his way back.

On the fourth day, Zhou Xia packed up her luggage and was about to return to China. She looked depressed, with endless sorrow locked between her eyebrows, but her subordinates were still straightforward. The old mother whispered softly beside her, and she responded from time to time.

When she took the people around her out of the inn, she saw the annoying person again.

Lulun also stood at the door of the inn with his guards, and two large carriages were parked beside him. When he saw Zhou Xia coming, Lulun immediately smiled greasy and said, "What a coincidence, Xiaoxia, I'm just about to return to China. Are you going back? Why don't we..."

Zhou Xia said with a cold face: "I won't go with you."

After saying that, Zhou Xia led people around him and walked straight outside the inn yard.
