Xie Feng looked inward at his Dantian and saw that Kong Qiusu was also reading a book. He looked calm, and his Little Sword was leaning against his thigh, already asleep, even emitting a faint buzzing sound.
Xie Feng asked, "Senior brother, what book are you reading?"
Kong Qiusu put down his book and calmly asked, "What book are you reading?"
Xie Feng said, " The Literary Dao Sacred Canon!"
"Tasteful!" Kong Qiusu, a slight smile playing on his lips. "But this book... it's expensive!"
"So, senior brother can understand my love for money now, right?" Xie Feng teased.
"I don't think you love money; you just need it, am I right?" Kong Qiusu smiled faintly.
"That's right!"
Xie Feng nodded, "Senior brother is indeed senior brother!"
He asked, "What books are you reading?"
The Three Character Classic!
Kong Qiusu answered leisurely.
Xie Feng's expression was somewhat strange. "Senior brother, what refined taste you have! It's hard to believe that someone who's lived for over three hundred years still has such a childlike heart..."
The Three Character Classic is an introductory text for children as young as three!
Kong Qiusu calmly raised the book, pointed to the beginning, and said, "The simpler something is, the greater the wisdom it contains. Look at the first sentence."
Xie Feng replied, "Human nature is inherently good. Is there a problem?"
"Junior brother, what are your thoughts?"
"As for my thoughts... I can only say that I disagree with this statement!"
"Why?"
"That's the theory of inherent goodness; I'm more inclined to believe in inherent evil! Humans are born with flaws, and they need education to guide them towards goodness! Look at newborn infants; they're born knowing how to guard their food, fight, and cause trouble. Only through moral education can we discipline their behavior and make them more civilized!"
Xie Feng spoke eloquently.
Kong Qiusu slightly and smiled, "I've asked many people this question, but only you can offer such insights. You truly deserve to be my junior brother!"
Xie Feng said quietly, "Don't bring yourself into the praise, Senior Brother!"
Kong Qiusu smiled slightly.
A moment later...
He asked, "Do you often spend time with your second brother?"
Xie Feng frowned. "To be honest, we've only met a few times! What's wrong?"
"I just feel that your witty banter is starting to resemble his more and more..."
"I find it strange too. Ever since I read a few books, my mind and mouth have become much sharper. I always want to argue and debate with people. Sigh, what a literary habit I have!"
Xie Feng sighed.
Kong Qiusu silently closed the book.
Xie Feng asked in confusion, "Senior brother, what's wrong? Weren't we supposed to be discussing the Three Character Classic?"
Kong Qiusu said, "I'm worried that if you read a few more books, you'll be on your way to heaven!"
Xie Feng: "..."
He stared at Kong Qiusu and suddenly said, "Senior brother, wouldn't you like to change your clothes?"
Kong Qiusu frowned, sniffed his arm, and asked curiously, "Do I smell?"
Xie Feng looked at the worn areas on his sleeves and collar, shook his head, and said, "What material is this shirt made of? It's all rotten!"
Kong Qiusu said he was only wearing ordinary clothes, so Xie Feng gave him a new set of clothes. It was a plain white robe with a light blue belt and cuffs, a plain silver crown, and a pair of dark cloud boots.
Kong Qiusu was a soul entity, and the clothes he wore gradually became soul-like, fitting him perfectly and naturally.
As the saying goes, clothes make the man, and gold makes the Buddha. After he put on his new clothes, he really did have the air of a refined and venerable master.
Xie Feng looked at it and said with satisfaction, "That's my senior brother!"
Kong Qiusu was also in a good mood. He said, "Let's go to Floating World Bank!"
Xie Feng said, "Senior brother, don't bully people!"
"I am a scholar, and scholars value harmony above all else."
"Who is being referred to as the Confucian-Robed Asura '?"
"This title refers to the person I was before, not the person I am now. The person I am now and the person I was before are two different people. Do you understand?"
"..."
Xie Feng has been defeated once again!
His senior brother is truly a master of sophistry; his art of sophistry is beyond compare...
Xie Feng asked, "I'm curious, when did you lose your memory?"
Kong Qiusu said expressionlessly, "If I could remember, then it wouldn't be called amnesia."
It seems... there's nothing wrong with it!
Floating World Bank.
A certain room.
At this moment, Xiao Tianzi was hiding under the covers and crying.
She cried very sadly.
Tears welled up in his eyes and fell in large drops, soaking the corner of the blanket. He even sobbed.
He had never suffered such an injustice in his entire life!
Seven billion three hundred million!
Although it wasn't a lot of money in his eyes, it was still painful to lose because Xie Feng had swindled it away!
"How could I have been fooled again? I, the Xiao Tianzi Emperor, have been swindled out of my money twice in a row..."
"Master, you love money more than anything, so please don't haunt me in your nightmares if you find out!"
"Just you wait! I'll definitely teach that brat a lesson!"
Xiao Tianzi gripped the corner of the blanket with both hands, only his red, tear-filled eyes visible, and he spoke through gritted teeth.
Bang bang bang!
There was a knock on the door.
"Boss, Xie Feng is here!" the manager's voice rang out.
Xiao Tianzi abruptly threw off the covers and jumped to the floor. He was just about to take revenge when this guy delivered himself right to his doorstep!
"Tell him to wait in the guest room; I'll take good care of him right away!"
Xiao Tianzi, seething with anger, added, "Oh, and gather the guards and have them ambush the guest rooms! This time, I'll make sure Xie Feng doesn't leave alive! He'll have to cough up my money!"
The steward accepted the order and left.
Guest rooms.
Xie Feng was drinking tea when, before long, Xiao Tianzi appeared, his belly rumbling even before he arrived.
"Boss Xiao, we meet again!"
Xie Feng put down his teacup and greeted him kindly.
Xiao Tianzi roared in fury, "How dare you show your face here, brat? Don't you know I'm furious right now? Seventy-seven billion thirty million! Spit it out!"
His eyes were bloodshot, his hair stood on end, and he looked like he wanted to rush over and strangle Xie Feng.
The more you try to avoid getting involved with this person, the more likely you are to run into them!
He's really drunk!
Xie Feng shrugged and spread his hands. "What's done is done. There's no reason to take back the tips that have been given! Boss Xiao, the owner of the No. 1 Money House, wouldn't be so stingy, would he? Besides, why did you wait until the very end to give your tip at the banquet? If you had been the first, you would have only needed to give 100,000!"
Xiao Tianzi pointed at Xie Feng's nose and cursed, "Nonsense! I don't owe you anything, so why do you keep ripping me off?! You swindler! You stole 600 million from me yesterday, and then another 7.7 billion at the banquet! Now, you dare to come here again? How much more do you want to steal?!"
Xie Feng said, "How much? That depends on your sincerity, Boss Xiao."
Xiao Tianzi: "..."
He felt like vomiting blood!
Xie Feng said, "Calm down, calm down. Look how angry you are, your face has turned pale. Old people shouldn't get angry so often; it's bad for their hearts. You don't have many days left to live, and you're still torturing yourself."
Xiao Tianzi: "..."
Ahhh!
I can't take it anymore, I really want to hit someone!
He clenched his fist, and in an instant, the room was filled with Daoist principles, and a faint, overwhelming pressure swept over!
Xie Feng calmly said, "If you want to fight, fine. I have someone here who wants to talk to you. By the way, he's a frail scholar, so don't go too far!"
