Chapter 226 Where Exactly is This Not Right?
Li Junzi looked at Cui Hao with surprise.
Putting everything else aside, judging by Cui Hao's tone alone, it felt quite real.
However... for some reason, when it came out of Cui Hao's mouth, it always made people unconsciously feel a little suspicious—are you sure you aren't fooling people?
Although Li Junzi didn't speak, Cui Hao could also sense that trace of suspicion in Li Junzi's eyes.
Without saying much more, Cui Hao gently raised his hand, writing in the air—a gentle breeze.
A clear breeze blew past, directly soothing the heart.
Writing without an object was indeed an ability achievable after the Book Expansion Realm.
Even if he didn't really want to admit it, this Cui Hao in front of him, who seemed a bit frivolous, appeared to truly be a Confucian cultivation genius.
Li Junzi asked, "Then are you currently at the Understanding Reason Realm or the Confucian Scholar Realm?"
Cui Hao laughed lightly and shook his head slightly.
Li Junzi stared wide-eyed, asking in surprise, "You're a Great Confucian?!"
How could the world be like this?!
Cui Hao spread his hands and answered, "No, I'm still at the Book Expansion Realm."
Hearing this, Li Junzi was slightly speechless. Now he understood why his own disciple wanted this kid to shut up.
With this way of speaking, it indeed made people unable to resist.
But if Cui Hao was telling the truth, then the man before him was undoubtedly a Confucian cultivation genius.
Speaking solely of talent, he was very likely even stronger than Lin Luoyu.
If he was willing to settle down and study, perhaps his probability of becoming a Sub-Sage would be higher.
However, having an additional Sub-Sage in the world who knows how to flatter and fawn, it's hard to say whether that is good or bad for the Confucian Dao.
Li Junzi looked at Cui Hao seriously again and asked:
"Since you have this talent, I assume you wouldn't be stuck at the Book Expansion Realm. Why not continue studying?"
"Of course, studying isn't what I want. Having talent doesn't mean I have to do this." Cui Hao cupped his hands. "The world is vast; I want to travel through it and see the local customs and practices of various places. Studying cannot satisfy this wish of mine."
"Since it's not what I want, then I won't take it. There are many paths in life. Being bound by ideas to a single path is too tiring. So, after entering the Book Expansion Realm, I never cultivated the Confucian Dao again."
Li Junzi gave a bitter smile. Those capable of entering the Sub-Sage realm disdain entering this path, while those who want to study are trapped in books.
The world always seems to love playing jokes on people. What you seek and cannot get is what others can easily obtain.
Even though it is so, people can't help but envy it.
Seeing that Li Junzi was somewhat silent, Cui Hao asked:
"Presumably, sir has encountered a difficult problem. Why not tell me about it? Although my Confucian Dao realm isn't as high as sir's, I have some talent. Since sir doesn't want Senior Sister to know, I will also keep the secret for you."
Li Junzi was silent for a while. "There is an obsession in my heart, so I simply cannot move my pen."
"Is it related to Senior Sister?"
"It has nothing to do with it. It is just that I myself still haven't figured it out."
Hearing this, Cui Hao nodded lightly. "Then sir wants to solve this problem by writing a book?"
Li Junzi nodded in agreement. "You could say that. After all, being idle is just being idle."
"So the problem lies right here." Cui Hao laughed lightly. "Sir hasn't even put down the book, so how can you figure this matter out?"
Li Junzi was stunned hearing this. "You mean...?"
"Regarding studying, I still have some talent. For me, problems I can't figure out at the moment, I throw them aside. When I have experienced more things, the answers to those problems will automatically appear in my mind."
Cui Hao pointed at the door. "To understand, sir must first walk out of this problem. Furthermore, I have always felt that cultivating the Confucian Dao isn't entirely about reading books."
Li Junzi felt somewhat moved by these words, but when she looked out the window, she felt somewhat lost.
Where could she go now?
Sir has already stopped writing back, and Junzi Mountain is also somewhere she cannot go.
At this moment, the world is so vast, as if only this small mountain village has a place for her to stay.
Could she choose to travel everywhere?
Cui Hao looked at Li Junzi, and seeing her expression, it seemed she didn't really care about his words.
Could it be that she thought he was bragging? Or was it that his Confucian cultivation realm was too low, so this big shot didn't really care about his words?
Cui Hao coughed lightly. "In that case, let me perform a show for sir, and then you will know whether what I said is correct or not."
Hearing this, Li Junzi withdrew her gaze. Not sure why, she now kind of wanted to refuse this performance item from Cui Hao.
She always felt... his performance definitely wouldn't count as a performance.
But looking at Cui Hao's determined eyes, Li Junzi still nodded hesitantly, agreeing to it.
Cui Hao slightly closed his eyes, and in his mind, he began to quickly recall those books he had roughly read before.
Stepping into the Book Expansion Realm was something he did when he was still a young boy.
Time has passed for quite a few years now. Although he hadn't continued reading those books written by Great Sages, simply summarizing them was barely enough to use.
Not to mention breaking through to Confucian Scholar on the spot, but for the mere Understanding Reason Realm, it was still something he could handle with ease.
A moment later.
Li Junzi was completely convinced. Cui Hao had come solely to deal a blow to the little confidence she had left.
This person closed his eyes and stood in place for a moment without saying a word, yet he broke through directly from the Book Expansion Realm to the Understanding Reason Realm.
At least say a few words, like "I have gained some enlightenment" or something.
As a result, he just stood there and broke through the realm without saying a word.
Looking at his expression as if he hadn't had enough, it seemed that if he stood a little longer, he could break through the Understanding Reason Realm and reach the Confucian Scholar Realm.
Although I know that people cannot be compared, this gap seems a bit too large.
The books she had read over so many years seemed somewhat like a joke.
Cui Hao moved his body. "I haven't studied for many years, yet I can still easily break through the Understanding Reason Realm. Surely sir should believe me now?"
Li Junzi nodded somewhat mechanically—she was tired.
She answered, "It's not that I don't believe you. It's just that I don't know where to go."
Cui Hao laughed. "You can go to Yuzhou City. If sir's thoughts are just unclear, you can talk to my master. Although my master doesn't cultivate the Confucian Dao, I always feel that if he wanted to cultivate, he would be more formidable than me. Perhaps he can unravel sir's heart knot."
"If it doesn't work, you can also get to know the customs of Senior Sister's sect."
Master is good at talking nonsense... cough... talking principles.
As long as this Li Junzi, who looks a bit dull, goes to my master's place and takes a set of his confusing sophistry skills, she will definitely sober up on the spot.
She will directly comprehend the truth of the human world.
Moreover, given master's personality, as long as they interact simply, master always gives people a feeling of being bathed in the spring breeze.
Even if he doesn't cure this sir, he should have bamboozled her into madness.
Anyway, with Cui Hao's level, sometimes he can't handle the big pies his master draws either.
Also, he roughly understood what the relationship between this sir and Senior Sister was. In any case, he also had to make some compensation for this sir on behalf of his somewhat confused Senior Sister.
Li Junzi was somewhat hesitant at this moment.
Although these words were spoken very well and had some attraction.
However, for some reason, Li Junzi always felt... something wasn't quite right. Looking at Cui Hao's sincere gaze.
Li Junzi also didn't know where exactly this wasn't right.
But it was just very not right!
