Chapter 1042: The Central Peak Disciples
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
But, Yun Xiuxin still did not stop talking, and her words became even more sharply.
“Do not think that your own disgrace is your own business. You are disciples of the Central Peak, so your disgrace is equal to the disgrace of the Central Peak! Whoever disgraces himself or herself is equivalent to shaming the Master, shaming us, your fellow brothers and sisters! You better be careful!
“Master never scolds you because he has a good temper and a kind heart, but none of us will forgive you!
“We are all poor things who have no home. It is Master who has given us home again! Since we are a family, we should work together and forge ahead for the sake of this family! Who dares to disgrace this family? Think for yourselves, what’s the point of living in this world if we don’t have this family?”
After hearing what she said, Shi Wuchen and everyone else were drenched in sweat. But soon, those sharp-minded people such as Ren Qingkuang and Luo Dajiang all frowned slightly and looked thoughtful.
Anyone who had pondered over her words a little more carefully could tell that the disciples of the Central Peak had a strong desire for honor, a sense of collectivity, and a sense of belonging.
It was almost as if they were acting out of their hearts to safeguard these things.
The belief was not only reflected in the efforts to make themselves stronger, but also in the safeguard of this family, this community, and the reputation of the Central Peak at all time. They always focused on the Central Peak.
In fact, compared with their own strength, they attached more importance to these intangible things!
Ren Qingkuang and Lan Ruojun looked at each other and nodded, each with a clear understanding in their hearts. Disciples who strived to make themselves stronger were inevitably weak in motivation, unlike the disciples of the Central Peak who surrounded themselves in such a team spirit. Those from the Central Peak were like a person who had faith; all their actions were basically to fight for this faith unswervingly!
When a person was working hard for personal strength, he was likely to become frustrated and discouraged, doubt himself when facing adversities, or slack off and stop moving forward when he was on a roll.
But, when a person fought and strove for faith, his progress would never end!
‘I am already in the first place, and I want to keep this position…not for myself, but the Central Peak. I have become an Honor, but this is not the end of my journey. I will continue to work hard! I have become a Saint, but this is still not the end…this is just a process, and I still have to try my best. I now have a great reputation. I have already made a great impact on the world. But, the glory I have brought to the Central Peak is still just a process, only a moment of joy and pride!’
‘I need a lot of this kind of honor, the more the better.’
‘Even if I have become the best in the world, I am still only a disciple of the Residence of Nine Supremes’s Central Peak!
‘Glory will always belong to the Residence of Nine Supremes’s Central Peak, and I will always be a part of the Central Peak!’
“So, this is the motivation for the Central Peak’s disciples, this is the truth…” Lan Ruojun muttered to himself.
“We had taken ourselves as a guide, so we make them pay too much attention on personal strength, while the motivation of the Central Peak’s disciples is to defend the collective honor. These are two completely different paths, and because they are different in essence, the results are naturally different.”
“Xiuxin, come here!” Kong Luoyue beckoned.
“Greetings, Uncle-Master Kong!” Yun Xiuxin came over obediently. Her temperament and appearance were quite different from just now when she was shouting at her junior brothers and sisters.
“Does your Master never answer your questions?” Kong Luoyue asked.
“He did,” replied Yun Xiuxin. “But, he only answers our questions after morning exercises, an hour before breakfast. Anything everyone does not understand must be raised at that time. Once that time passes, Master will not answer any more questions, and we have to wait until the next morning.”
Luo Dajiang clapped his hands and sighed, “Wonderful!”
“What’s wonderful?” Shi Wuchen did not understand.
“Yi Tuo, let me tell you…”
“Try calling me Yi Tuo again! I’m the second brother! SECOND BROTHER!”
“…” Luo Dajiang turned his head in anger and stopped talking.
In the end, it was Kong Luoyue who explained. “When we are teaching our disciples, some disciples do not understand the answer once, and we often patiently answer it the second, or even the third time. By doing so, the disciples will not have any more doubts about the current problems, but it creates a dependency. At Central Peak, however, the questions only need to be answered once, or will only be answered once, because there is only a limited amount of time to answer their questions each day. In this limited time, disciples must prepare their questions, and then ask them in the morning to get the answers. Moreover, they have to remember the Master’s answers in their hearts, or they will have to wait at least one more day once they are careless or mishear.”
“In such an atmosphere, waiting one more day might make them never catch up with their peers.
“To get the solutions to the current problems, they may have been thinking about how to ask the questions from the night before, remembering the questions even in their dreams for fear of forgetting them. When they ask the questions the next day, Boss Yun only uses one sentence to point out the crucial part and let them have a thorough understanding. With that, their memory of the answer will naturally become deeper. After that, they only need to follow the answer and practice it again, and they can get the best results…”
“This is an extreme epiphany under a high-pressure atmosphere! This is not taught at all, but forced by themselves.”
“In such an atmosphere, it is not easy for them to understanding anything less deeply.”
“In addition, they have such an eldest senior sister…” Kong Luoyue had been transmitting her voice to others as she said with a wry smile, “Yun Xiuxin has always been in the position who gives pressure to everyone, constantly saying that someone has disgraced everyone else, someone has disgraced the Central Peak and their Master…With such a supervisor, no one dares to slack off.”
“Over time, her actions have even formed conditional reflexes in the minds of the disciples.”
“Originally, this method would have its drawbacks. If it were placed on teens seventeen or eighteen years of age, it will probably make them rebellious. This is the common weakness of young people. But, for these children who are eleven to twelve years old, it is the best time to use this method. When this ideology takes shape in them, it will only become stronger and stronger.”
“Besides, Yun Xiuxin has done everything she said, very well at that. The other disciples try their best to catch up with her, but they still cannot, and can only look up at her. I believe that the only thought in the Central Peak disciples’ minds should be to follow in the footsteps of their eldest senior sister, so that they will not be left too far behind by her.”
“Growing up like this, the disciples of the Central Peak will be brainwashed, and the more they grow up, the deeper the ideology will become rooted in their minds, unbreakable and indelible.”
“Let’s think deeper! Boss Yun did not show up after early morning, so what should those disciples do when they have new questions and are eager to get answers? They can only seek advice from their senior brothers and sisters, even their junior brothers and sisters. By helping each other, the relationship between them will become deeper and deeper…Over time, the whole Central Peak will become extremely united!
“In fact, it won’t take long…They are already very united even now.” Kong Luoyue sighed.
