Chapter 12346
Gou Yun was undoubtedly the beneficiary.
But precisely because of this, he was even more unwilling to see others take advantage of this. Only he, as the head disciple, could benefit from Kong Qianqiu's good fortune.
Judging from the current situation, if Kong Qianqiu continues to seek advice in this manner, losing the race in the end will be a foregone conclusion.
Essentially, it's tantamount to handing over the path to sainthood.
Gou Yun was extremely anxious.
"How could my teacher lose to such an unknown person?"
It wasn't just a matter of reputation; he had a deeper thought.
Given Kong Qianqiu's personality, he might not care much about the divine fragments awarded as a reward for finishing the race.
At that time, as his top disciple, it wouldn't be too difficult for him to obtain the fragments of divine power with just a little effort.
The master, out of love for his disciple, bestowed upon him fragments of divine power.
Even if this were to be told, it would be considered perfectly reasonable by outsiders.
After all, given Kong Qianqiu's status, he certainly doesn't lack this fragment of divine essence.
Gou Yun had already made plans on how to use this fragment of divine power. As for whether Kong Qianqiu would lose the final race, he hadn't even considered that.
Unless the top figures of the Heavenly Palace personally intervene, no one can rival Kong Qianqiu, not even those exceptionally talented second-generation elites.
Not only Gou Yun thought this way, but everyone thought this way.
Who would have thought that things would turn out this way!
The problem is that the final outcome of the race is only a matter between the two players; as an outsider, you can't affect anything about it at all.
Let alone direct intervention, even the most basic communication is simply impossible.
Gou Yun was extremely anxious when suddenly his eyes lit up.
"That's it! We can ask the patriarch to intervene!"
He himself doesn't have that ability, but it's hard to say if it's one of those big shots from the Kong family.
Gou Yun immediately contacted Kong Jisheng, the head of the Kong family.
Given his status, he would not normally be qualified to speak with Kong Jisheng, but as Kong Qianqiu's top disciple, the Kong family made an exception and granted him that qualification.
There's no other reason than that Kong Jisheng is Kong Qianqiu's biological father.
The patriarchs of the Kong family throughout history have always been detached from worldly affairs and rarely participated in mundane matters, including Kong Jisheng.
As the head of the Kong family, he rarely even showed up at the Heavenly Palace, and was absent from many matters, both large and small.
However, when it comes to Kong Qianqiu's precious daughter, that's a different story.
as predicted.
Kong Jisheng initially didn't care, but after hearing about Kong Qianqiu's situation, he immediately became serious.
Kong Jisheng frowned deeply as he watched every word and action on the track during the final race from a distance.
Gou Yun stood respectfully to the side and said cautiously, "Master, my master's pursuit of the Dao is too pure, and he has probably forgotten that this is a game against someone."
"If things continue like this, I'm afraid we'll have to hand over the Saint's Track to the public."
"If people who are unaware of the situation start to gossip, it might damage Master's reputation, and even our entire Kong family lineage."
Kong Jisheng glanced at him: "It's just a sage's race track. We can give it up as long as we want. As for worldly reputation, have we ever cared about that?"
"As Qiu'er's first disciple, your magnanimity is far too small."
One sentence left Gou Yun speechless, his face turning red with embarrassment.
That stubborn old man who doesn't know what's good for him!
Gou Yun cursed inwardly, but on the surface he remained humble and receptive to instruction, leaving no room for criticism.
He paused, then carefully added, "Disciple was too attached to appearances. It's just that this Yang Ming made some arrogant remarks beforehand, and his words were quite disrespectful. He seemed to be using Master as a stepping stone. Disciple is really indignant about this."
"Using my Qiu'er as a stepping stone?"
When it came to his beloved daughter, Kong Jisheng's expression changed.
Although he always maintained a detached attitude and never cared if others stepped on him, he couldn't do that with his daughter.
Gou Yun quickly pressed his advantage: "My master taught me not to care, but as a disciple, I really can't swallow this insult when faced with such a treacherous person."
The implication is that even he, as a disciple, can't tolerate it, so how can you, as the father, tolerate it?
Gou Yun was very confident.
If Kong Jisheng were to intervene, he would surely be able to turn the tide.
Most prominent families have some knowledge of loopholes in the race track, and the Kong family is no exception.
Moreover, it's not that Kong Qianqiu is weaker than his opponent; he simply lacks the will to win. To turn things around, it's just a matter of offering a single word.
For Kong Jisheng, it was just a small favor.
However, Kong Jisheng did not get angry as expected, but instead took a deep breath.
"I can't stand it either, but I can't interfere."
Gou Yun looked completely bewildered: "Huh?"
Kong Jisheng explained, “If I get involved in this kind of thing, your master will ignore me for at least a year.”
Gou Yun: "..."
It was only now that he realized that the person in front of him was not only a fiercely protective father, but also an absolute doting father.
One look from Kong Qianqiu and this guy could be heartbroken for a whole day.
Otherwise, how could he, as a disciple of the Kong family who had not yet formally joined, have the right to speak directly to the head of the Kong family?
The two fell into silence.
Gou Yun was extremely anxious, but dared not speak rashly again.
He's a true top-tier figure; even if he appears naive, he's not someone you can easily fool.
That attempt to sow discord was already risky in itself.
If you overdo it, the other party will realize what's going on, and the consequences could be disastrous.
The discussion continued within the sand table.
Kong Qianqiu, as always, was devout in her pursuit of the Tao, and in this short period of time, she had already digested most of the core essence of Yangming's philosophy.
He was subtly showing the demeanor of a young master of the philosophy of mind.
Such talent and comprehension truly broadened Lin Yi's horizons.
"That's fucking perverted."
Lin Yi blurted out a sentence from the bottom of his heart, but the same evaluation was often used on him, only he was unaware of it.
In fact, if Kong Qianqiu were to engage in debate and discussion at this point, he could have hit the nail on the head, or even delivered a fatal blow.
Unless Lin Yi brings Wang Yangming himself over, he simply cannot handle it.
However, Kong Qianqiu did not.
She continued to pursue the Dao in a conventional manner, without any intention of questioning him. On the contrary, she often took the initiative to pave the way for Lin Yi.
All Lin Yi had to do was recite the quotes of Yangming that he knew, one by one.
To some extent, this was not a final discussion for him, but rather a series of fill-in-the-blank questions.
Meanwhile, Qianqiu secretly thought it was a pity.
She had already realized that the person opposite her named Yang Ming was not the founder of the School of Mind, but at best a half-baked novice who had just begun to understand it.
"How wonderful it would be to sit down and discuss philosophy with you, sir."
Kong Qianqiu sighed silently.
Even so, she didn't intend to make things difficult for Lin Yi in the slightest; on the contrary, she was extremely grateful. (End of Chapter)
