Genshin Impact: Liyue's Strongest Thousand Rock Army

In front of the gate of the private school courtyard, the four of them hugged their arms in front of them, with a slight tiredness on their faces and some reminiscence.

After four whole days, they finally returned here, to this familiar place.

As they crossed the threshold, the four of them sighed in unison, with emotion, expectation, and a sense of relief. All these mixed emotions could be summed up in two words: go home.

For them, the private school is their second home. They eat and sleep here, and are surrounded by like-minded people who are like family members.

Whenever I come back here, I always feel at ease.

However, their joy did not last long, as the four were summoned to the Master's presence, waiting for his instruction.

Confucius sat upright, stroked his beard, and said gently: "It's over, so I won't talk about it anymore. But there is one thing I need to remind you of."

"Especially Zi'an..."

After hearing Confucius' explanation, the four of them understood the reason.

It turned out that Wang Rui was indeed an impostor, and Mr. Wang confessed to it. He made the excuse that his son was too stupid and he did not want to waste the resources of the private school, so he sent a smarter scholar to study for his son.

In his words, he did not mention the influence that the impostor had on Su Ping, nor the influence that impostor had on the private school. He was like a kind old father who only doted on his son.

However, the four of them all have sharp eyes. Since there is no change after hearing this, it means that the Master has not yet exerted his strength, and perhaps the ups and downs are yet to come.

"From now on, I have expelled those people from the private school. They will never be allowed to enroll again. In addition, the examination of their identities will definitely be more stringent in the future."

"Zi'an, you don't have to worry about the future. What happened the day before will be the same in the future. Since someone threatened me first, I can't stay here for long."

"Of course, remember, don't take the initiative to cause trouble, it goes against etiquette!"

“I am willing to learn from you.” Su Ping bowed deeply with both hands, from top to bottom, and the other three people who were listening followed suit.

"But I don't know the real name of the impostor." Su Ping asked slowly after he stood up.

Confucius smiled, "Liu Yucong."

……

After that, a few days passed without any incident. Su Ping still listened to the classes at the back of the school every day and occasionally gave guidance. The younger students who came to ask questions made him, who was already very popular, even more popular in the hearts of these people.

It was after school, and a long line formed in front of Su Ping's desk. Many young people, with notebooks in hand, came to him for answers.

If he was a young and strong man, he would look good, but unfortunately he has a face that is even more childish than theirs, which looks weird no matter how you look at it.

"Brother Su, may I ask what is the tenacity of a scholar?"

"A scholar must be broad-minded and resolute, for the responsibility is heavy and the road ahead is long."

"Brother, is there any word that can be used throughout one's life?"

"The meaning of 'forgiveness' is, do not do to others what you do not want others to do to you."

"Hello, Brother Su. I want to ask you, what is the way we are learning?"

"The Four Books, Five Classics and Six Arts are all mastered."

"Could you be more specific, please?" the junior student asked with a frown.

When the people behind him heard this, they immediately became unhappy. They had all queued up together and others only asked one question, so why did he ask two?

"One question per person, do you understand the rules?"

"If you want to ask more, go back and line up. We only asked one question each!"

The student looked a little embarrassed. He looked back, scratched his head and apologized, then bowed to Su Ping and ran back to the end of the team.

Seeing this, Su Ping put down his hand that was about to stop him. He did not expect that this junior was so honest that he ran back to the end without even looking back.

In today's world, such people are rare.

Su Ping did not hesitate to answer the following questions, because most of the questions they asked were in the book and they could find the answers by just flipping through the book, but they insisted on asking him.

I don't know if I'm lazy or just find it troublesome.

"Senior brother, I would like to ask, do all people have the ability to be merciful to others?" A young man in a green shirt with long hair tied behind his head asked slowly.

After hearing this, Su Ping pondered for a moment. Finally, there was a question that was not in the book. He could finally answer it.

“Yes, but it depends on the situation.”

"What's going on?" he demanded.

Su Ping pointed at the team behind him and said, "This is the second question. Do you want to be the first one?"

"Brother, you are joking. I just queued all the way here. The problems I saw and heard are all in the book. If there is something you don't understand, you can go back and look up the book. Why bother you?" The young man said with a smile.

"It's so easy for you to say that. There are so many books and each one is so thick. Do you think we are the same as you and can memorize it?" Someone in the team was dissatisfied.

This person responded cleverly. While denying his point of view, he also promoted Su Ping. If he were placed outside, he should be able to get a good position.

"That's right, you came here to ask, and you still have the nerve to talk about us!"

"He is just a mediocre person who only admires himself!"

Seeing that the situation was about to get out of control, Su Ping, who was considered to be of higher seniority, spoke up to stop them, "If you don't follow the rules, I won't follow through with my explanation."

As he spoke, his eyes flickered as he looked at the young man in green and the people standing behind him, and suggested, "How about you two have a debate, and I'll ask the winner more questions, how about that?"

"This seems pretty good." The person at the front of the line touched his chin thoughtfully.

"Is it settled then?"

"Certainly, Senior Brother is talking about us. There are three of us. Can we not win the argument against him alone?"

"Okay." The purple-clad man at the front of the line nodded and said, "We accept your opinion."

Su Ping looked at the man in green again, waiting for what to say next.

"It's all up to you, senior brother." The man bowed with both hands and saluted lightly.

If this debate were to happen, it would be quite lively. The people queuing behind suddenly spread out and surrounded several people, including Su Ping's seat.

This way you can not only observe from the best perspective, but also take the opportunity to be at the front of the line at the end. It is truly beneficial with no disadvantages.

The man in green shirt was standing alone, facing him were three people, each with a different expression on their face, but all of them were equally determined to win this debate.

It's not that the man in green is conceited. He has a good eye for people and knows that these three people are not his opponents, so he makes such a definition in his mind.

"Hehe, then I won't be polite." The man on the opposite side rubbed his hands and said, "My name is Xu Yu, and I want to have a duel with you today!"

"Please." The man in green shirt put one hand behind his back and stretched out the other hand, like a bright pearl in the world, with the spirit of a scholar as smooth as jade.

Xu Yu grinned and said, "Then let's take what I just said as an example. There are so many books, and they are so thick. We are not senior students, so who can memorize them all?"

"Brother, you are not a god or immortal, you are just a mortal like us. Since you are equal, why can you do it but you can't?" The man in green answered reasonably.

“It’s easy to say. Everyone has a different starting point, different ancestors, different backgrounds, and different abilities. It’s not that easy to bring them together!” A person next to Xu Yu gritted his teeth.

The man in green snorted and said anxiously, "Since you know that you are different, why don't you work hard and strive? A day's plan begins in the morning. You keep saying how great your senior brother is, but have you ever seen how much effort others have put in?"

"Work hard? No matter how hard I work, I'll still be a stepping stone for the genius. If that's the case, I might as well just give up. This is what you said, why don't we find the book ourselves and ask you!"

Xu Yu scolded, his eyes reddened, "We don't have good talents. Even if we study hard and practice hard, we may not be able to memorize a poem by rote. No matter what we do, it's useless, isn't it?!"

His emotion gradually infected the people around him. To varying degrees, they all envied the talent of that senior student and hated their own incompetence.

For this reason, in order to prevent the results of their hard work from appearing ridiculous in front of others, they simply give up, let nothing happen, and then keep convincing themselves that they were born to be a member of the ordinary people and not to be the shining stars in the sky.

The man in green shirt glanced around and said slowly, "Have you tried your best? Have you struggled? Do you know that you have achieved success because of your talent, not because of your own learning?"

“Perhaps your efforts will be overshadowed by the halo of others who have a higher starting point, but the foundation is ultimately yours and cannot be taken away by others.”

"At this moment, you should not worry about whether your efforts are useful, but should think about how to work hard and how to struggle, so that you can avoid the saying that wealth cannot last for more than three generations, but his three generations are still better than those of scholars, and it will not hurt others too much."

Xu Yu smiled bitterly, "I don't know, but you know it?"

"I'm always very good at judging people." The man in green said, then looked at Su Ping and bowed with both hands. "Please give me an answer, brother. What time do you get up in the morning and go to bed every day?"

After the man's words, everyone turned their eyes to the small figure on the desk. Some of them were looking forward to it, and some even hoped that the senior student could shatter the words of the man in green.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Su Ping spoke slowly, "I go to bed at midnight every day and get up at dawn. This is the case except when I am injured."

"Did you hear that?" The man in green looked at Xu Yu. He was talking about him as well as the people around him.

Because there are too many students this time, the daily wake-up time has been delayed a lot, but some people still get up early every day.

This has resulted in different conditions among students over the past ten days. Those with strong determination will certainly not be affected, but how many people are like that?

Seeing their silence, the man in green shirt continued, "If one person can do it, a hundred people can do it, and even a thousand or ten thousand people can do it."

"If not, where would Liyue's 300,000 spearmen and armored soldiers come from? After today, I hope you won't waste time again and cheer up."

Silence. Everyone was silent because they didn't know where to start, so the only thing they could do was remain silent.

Not long after, a voice broke the silence. It was Su Ping who spoke.

"Let me correct what you just said. The principles and famous sayings in the book are not meant to be recited, but to be memorized."

Recite and memorize are two words with only one letter difference and one pronunciation, but the meanings are also very different.

This made them raise their heads slightly, wanting to continue listening to their senior's instructions.

"Teachers are the beacon of light on the path of learning, classmates are the fences on the road, the principles in books and ancient texts are the foundation under your feet, and as for the rest, they are just different starting points."

"How you walk this road and how fast you walk depends on you. Others can only guide you, but cannot push you."

As soon as these words were spoken, the fighting spirit of most people around was ignited, and the fire that had been suppressed for a long time was awakened, because the words of the senior brother seemed to have magic, touching their heartstrings.

Su Ping smiled again and said, "I'll give you another sentence. Remember it, it should be useful."

"Heaven moves vigorously, and a gentleman strives to constantly strive for self-improvement!"
