Myths Begin From Boys' Gong

People are indeed like this. When they are helpless, they will deceive themselves. Otherwise, the idiom "self-deception" would not have come into being.

This is the case with Xie Jun. He may not have information channels like Meng Zhao, so he can collect so much information about Xie Wanzhi and infer that Xie Wanzhi has problems and is not a good person.

However, Xie Jun was a very perceptive and intelligent person. He simply relied on his intuition and realized that he might be a tool raised by Xie Wanzhi. On weekdays, he was trained as an apprentice, but when the time was right, he would sacrifice him without hesitation.

Such keen intuition is sometimes a good thing, but sometimes it may not be a good thing.

For example, Xie Jun was able to sense the danger in advance, but his martial arts skills were weak and he had no ability to resist. He could only live in pain and despair, without seeing 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 long ago but be unable to do anything about it and be in fear all day long.

Although Lu Le's words today did not mean much, they actually broke the psychological defenses that Xie Jun had set for himself, and he completely collapsed. No, it cannot be said to be a collapse, 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 behaved like this today and sent me to find you."

Lu Le was satisfied. Since Xie Jun was so frank, he didn't want to beat around the bush any more. It would be best if everyone just put their thoughts out in the open.

"Brother Lu, King Meng Long can save me, but he may not be willing to do so. He did all this because he thought I was useful. Perhaps I could become a thorn in the side of my master, right?"

  Xie Jun was acting very rationally at this time. This was the fact, and Lu Le would 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 values ​​​​people of value.

You have good talent and potential. You have the potential to become a master in the future. Even with the advice of my young master, there is hope for you to become a grand master.

But, this is not the reason why he pays attention to you. If you want to truly gain the young master's favor, you must show your sincerity and prove your worth. I say this not to force you, but to help you. You must understand this!"

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

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

In today's world, everyone is only concerned about their own business and no one cares about other people's problems!

It is rare to see Meng Zhao being so frank and Lu Le being so sincere.

He also knew that he had to make a choice now: to continue deceiving himself and heading towards a path that would lead to certain death, or to take a ride on Meng Zhao's offer and perhaps have a chance to survive.

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

"Okay, then I'll be frank. As long as King Menglong can save my life, I will follow his lead from now on. I will also keep an eye on Xie Wanzhi. I will report every move he makes to King Menglong."

Xie Jun's all-in bet pleased Lu Le very much, and it was like he finally put his mind at ease.

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 was still freezing cold, with goose-feather-sized snowflakes floating in the sky, dyeing the whole world white. Inside the room, there was a heater, and Xie Jun, dressed neatly, sat alone by the bed, thinking, unconsciously stroking a short knife in his hand.

  Time passed by, and just as he was about to turn off the lights and go to sleep, he suddenly heard a faint voice in his ears.

"Xie Jun, come out and see me!"

The voice was so familiar and yet so terrifying that it made his heart tremble. He couldn't help but clench the dagger, but then let go immediately.

Xie Wanzhi, yes, it is Xie Wanzhi.

He was not dead as expected, and he secretly came to the Meng family and lurked there.

This made Xie Jun feel both regretful and relieved.

Unfortunately, Xie Wanzhi did not die, and his safety was never guaranteed, even with Meng Zhao's promise.

Without any hesitation, Xie Jun inserted the short knife and its sheath into the inner edge of his boots, then pushed the door open and walked out, following the mysterious feeling in his heart, and came to the farm on the northwest side of Mengjiazhuang.

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

In return, perhaps, when Xie Wanzhi was about 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 surviving.

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

Mengjiazhuang is very large and has been expanded many times. It is no less than an ordinary small town. Compared with the farms in the northwest area, there are fewer warriors. Most of them are where the families of the strong men in the village's worship hall live. It is 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 most likely to avoid Meng Zhao.

He had met the Northern Meng Dragon King during the day, and he didn't have much feeling, but he did have a few thoughts.

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

Secondly, he is overbearing and his style of doing things is self-centered, which is a manifestation of strength and ego. Compared with Xie Wanzhi and Meng Zhao, he seems easy to talk to.

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

In his eyes, Meng Zhao, although lazy and like an ordinary rich man's son, surrounded and served by maids, had a mellow aura and a rosy complexion, 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 casual and domineering, which was totally unlike the cautiousness that one should have 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 out of caution, he would deliberately plant a chess piece. This was a means, not a mentality.

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