The Spirit World

Chapter 234: Adults always need to look at the world coldly to see themselves clearly.

Although I think Lin'er needs help from Xunhuangying or me, Lin'er doesn't think so, and Xunhuangying and I will not force her to do anything.

But seeing how serious she was and how she didn't want us to get involved, we had no choice but to pay attention.

"Let's go. It's no good just sitting here."

I stood up and smiled at Lin'er: "I'm going to prepare for tomorrow's banquet. If Lin'er really wants to go with me, she needs to organize her words well."

I explained to Lin'er: "Rosades is a viscount. For someone in a high position, meeting children like us, no, meeting commoners like us who have not received aristocratic education, is already a kind of sympathy. If it weren't for my master Tom, he would never have met me."

I know that even if I tell Lin'er that when facing the more complicated adult world, what they do must be "reasonable", "legitimate", and in line with "worldly rules", adults will be able to behave more calmly.

It’s too early to say this, but we definitely should know about it.

If you accept Rosades' banquet, you must accept Rosades' invisible "requests". In other words, if you do things for the nobles, you must behave like you are doing things for the nobles.

Not everyone can become a noble, and not everyone can work for a noble.

It would be enough to just tell Lin'er that she needs to take this banquet seriously. Lin'er should also be able to understand the importance of this banquet. However, Lin'er herself does not need to think as much as I do.

We are not nobles, so we don't need to act like nobles. That would be embarrassing. We just need to take it seriously, and then...

"Tomorrow we should talk as little as possible, just like my master taught me, to be careful with what we say and do. Of course, I believe Lin'er will also be a very polite child."

I praised Lin'er as if I was coaxing a child. Although Lin'er felt a little strange, she kept looking at me and could only nod.

"Well, I will."

"Then let's go back first."

I threw the lotus leaf tube on the ground, and the lotus leaf spread out on the ground. I used some small wind magic to make the huge lotus leaf fly steadily.

This little magic is so comfortable. Just making flying props like this has saved my legs a lot of pain.

When everyone jumped onto the lotus leaf, I realized that Xunhuangying had been silent since being confronted by Lin'er. The way he climbed onto the lotus leaf made me sigh that there was actually someone in this world who could subdue Xunhuangying.

Looking at Lin'er, she was sitting quietly on the lotus leaf with her legs flat. Erica was sleeping on her shoulder, and I was sitting in front of the lotus leaf, riding the lotus leaf into the sky, heading towards home.

To be honest, I don't find it very difficult for me to control the wind element, but the flying speed of the lotus leaf is actually very slow. I don't need to be in a hurry to get home, and it's not a big deal to take it leisurely.

I am the kind of guy who doesn't believe in any "words". I don't really believe in things like "the bridge will straighten itself out when it reaches the bow" or "things will come naturally".

After going through so much, the only thing I believe now is that everything depends on human efforts.

Although I may appear to be "worldly-wise", I may be a complete novice when it comes to anything complicated.

The saying "the more you know, the more ignorant you feel" is probably this feeling. The only thing I can boast about is my humility, but other than that, I am, as others have said, useless.

This is the root of my inferiority complex in the past. I don't have a firm ideal, I don't have achievements that can be described, I can't even rely on my parents, I didn't even go to school for a few days, I grew up in a hurry. In other words, adults can understand that I didn't set goals from the bottom up and didn't think about planning my life. I didn't have the support of my parents and it was difficult to break through the barriers set by others. I didn't have the knowledge and credentials to make me stand out. I didn't have any chance to make mistakes, even a mistake would make me fall into ruin.

My future is wavering between becoming a farmer and a guide. No, to be more precise, there is no comparison between farmers and guides. A guide is superior to a farmer. If I have the opportunity, I will naturally prefer to become a guide - a profession that anyone can be.

Although farmers provide food for the world, it is difficult for the sons of nobles to become farmers, so it is natural for the sons of farmers to become farmers.

The son of a noble is born a noble. Many people are unwilling to admit it, but it doesn't matter whether they admit it or not.

It's nothing more than changing the way of saying it or the way of saying it so that those who cannot be compared with it but yearn for it physically and mentally can feel more at ease.

This is so commonplace that I am speechless.

This is everything, the root of unfairness. I once thought that someone could actually change it, but in the end, it was just an empty dream.

After all, after I became an adult, I began to see some things more thoroughly, rather than just superficially.

I can see my own limits as a farmer's son, and even the unstoppable inferiority complex, but I am also fortunate to think that Rajel and Alia have given me something that many people don't have.

That is kindness and self-respect.

I am not scolding many people for not having kindness in their hearts. I am just stating that most of the time, people's kindness needs to be protected, and it is difficult for those who want to do good but are not protected to show their kindness.

I no longer think about problems with my young and immature ideas, but I never tire of emphasizing that I am no longer a child, but an adult.

The word "adult" is very cruel and frightening. What adults think is always the cruelest thing. No matter whether it is stupid or smart, as long as it is related to adults, it is extremely cold-blooded.

I am not criticizing all children who have grown up, but I am stating that if adults do not look at the world with a cold blood, they will always be the unlucky ones who get cheated and hurt badly.

But after looking at the world coldly, whether or not you are willing to water this cold-blooded world with hot blood is two completely different things.

Rajel and Aria had no complaints about becoming farmers or herdsmen. They had a good education and they personally taught Erica and me a lot of knowledge and culture. Erica and I had no teachers in any college to prove that we had received an education, which also meant that at the age of twelve we had lost the qualifications to study.

This is cruel, as if we will never be able to experience high-end magic in our lifetime.

It seems that our lives will never be able to live the leisurely and carefree life that people long for.

I don't believe in a life of extravagance and decadence, so I don't think it matters.

After becoming an adult, I realized my limits and situation, and I became more cheerful and mature.

I believe more that success depends on people.

When I step on the beach barefoot, there will definitely be footprints left, which will be washed away by the sea.
