Chapter 312 - Willing To Give It A Try
A hint of shame and anger flashed across Lu Lin"s face.
"Taking advantage of the misery of others. Do you feel at ease doing such a good thing?!"
Suddenly, he snapped.
Xie Qiao lowered her eyes slightly.
"Do you think our lives are so lowly? That you can sort things out for us as you wish? After sorting it out, we still have to shed tears of grat.i.tude and wag our tails like a dog to please you?!" Lu Lin said angrily again.
It was unfair, this world was too unfair!
Xie Qiao sighed.
"Master, Please don"t argue with my grandson. He"s too stubborn. In the past six months, his parents were gone, and I"m no longer by his side. He can"t stand the hit, that"s why he"s like this..." the old lady"s soul was a little anxious, swaying around. It was distorted.
Xie Qiao was not angry. Her face was calm.
After looking at Lu Lin for a while, he calmed down a little, only then did she speak, "It is not a waste to go to the military camp, and not everyone will be accepted. After you get there, go through the proper procedures. The veterans will test your body. They won"t accept those who are disabled or weak. If you can pa.s.s, you will start from the lowest level. The recruits will have to suffer, and the pay is not much. If you don"t do well, you will be chased out at any time. If you make a big mistake, you may even be punished by military law and beaten to death.
"If you go, you will owe me a favor. You can repay the favor. In five years, half of your salary will be used in my name to donate to the Taoist temple," Xie Qiao added.
Part of the incense money received by the Taoist temple was used to maintain expenses, while the other part was used to do good deeds and benefit the people.
Lu Lin thought he was going to be beaten up, but he did not expect Xie Qiao to say that.
He had to admit that he was tempted.
However, he did not want to lower his head.
"No one can stop a disaster from falling from the sky. If you look down on yourself, you"d think that everyone in the world looks down on you. If you think you"re capable, the charity in front of you is an opportunity. It depends on how you see it," Xie Qiao said faintly.
Lu Lin clenched his fists.
He knew that Young Lady Xie was right.
Even though Young Lady Xia had an ulterior motive for doing good deeds, he had to admit that her help was useful.
Those who had taken her as their master had at least a small chance to change their lives!
Moreover, the opportunity given by Young Lady Xie was not considered charity.
The military camp had a recruitment every year, and many people could go. It was just that it was not the time for recruitment now.
Besides, it was really hard at the military camp. The recruitment conditions were also high. Even if Young Lady Xie said nothing, he would still register himself after a while. However, by then, he should have already pa.s.sed the most difficult time. Perhaps he would not have the unwillingness he had now.
About the dream last night, his grandma knew him well, so she asked... a n.o.ble to come, right?
"I... am willing to give it a try," Lu Lin finally said.
Xie Qiao smiled slightly, "Someone will come to take you there tomorrow. Before the New Year, they will invite you to the Royal Academy. Remember to give a five-star review."
After Xie Qiao said that, she got people to drive away directly.
Lu Lin was speechless. He felt that something was off.
This Young Lady Xie"s att.i.tude was far too different from Young Lady Xia"s, was it not?!
Young Lady Xia kept watching them and sending them things, as if it was not enough.
However, this Young Lady Xie... although she had given him some benefits, she was very indifferent. That look in her eyes…
She did not look down on him nor did she think highly of him. It was as if she was only here to inform him of an ordinary matter, yet there wasn"t a single ripple in her eyes!
What a weirdo.
However, he had to admit that although this Young Lady Xie was cold, her help actually made him feel a little more at ease.
Lu Lin nodded his head, and Xie Qiao put the old lady"s soul away.
Over the past two days, she had collected quite a number of souls that she wanted to release, and now they were all sent to the Fortune Pavilion.
