Chapter 95 still hasn't revealed who it is!
Li Mosi continued.
"We are deeply grateful for your nurturing and care; how could we dare to harm you?"
"Respectfully remember the nurturing grace of your father and mother, and therefore do not let your body be easily harmed."
As he spoke, he looked at his two disciples.
"This will worry your parents."
Zi Yi nodded seriously.
His father was the former leader of the goblin tribe.
Although the former leader always focused on practicing magic, he also cared deeply for the children.
Even though he was a child who didn't know magic, after being bitten on the butt by a flying rat last winter, the former leader still cared about him and checked on his injury every day.
Zi'an understood.
Not only do her parents worry when she gets injured, but she also worries when her younger siblings get injured.
Li Mosi glanced at his two disciples out of the corner of his eye and saw them nod in understanding. He then pointed to the next sentence with his pen.
He completely ignored Haki, who was listening intently with his head down.
"Women admire chastity, and men emulate talent and virtue."
"Women should admire those who preserve their chastity and observe etiquette, and men should learn from those gentlemen who are talented and virtuous."
The saint nodded gently.
Although she didn't understand what a "gentleman" was.
But the general meaning is still correct.
The ideas in the books of the Church of Light are not much different.
But Zi'an asked, "Master, are the requirements for men and women different? Also, what is chastity?"
She felt that many of the concepts were unfamiliar to her.
Zi Yi had simply nodded.
But when he heard Zi'an ask this question, he raised the same question: "Master, what is chastity?"
This was actually the first time he had ever heard the word.
Li Moss is organizing his thoughts.
"Two wild beasts..."
The saint was not at all surprised that they did not know the word.
Although she now knows that goblins are male and female, it doesn't change the fact that she still thinks they are lewd and evil.
As for Zi'an, this wild bear-beastman, it's already good enough that he can speak human language.
"Hey! What are you babbling about...?"
Zi'an suddenly raised his hand and pointed at the saintess with his index finger.
Although she couldn't hear what the saintess was saying.
But it definitely won't be anything nice!
"I—oh."
The saintess had just opened her mouth and raised her voice when Li Mosi grabbed her mouth.
These actions had become subconscious for Li Mosi.
He let out a breath and steered the conversation back on track.
"Chastity. It means that after a woman marries a man, she should not have sexual relations with other men before the man dies."
Ziyi then asked, "What is marriage?"
Zi'an glanced at Zi Yi, who had spoken first, and then asked another question: "What about before the wedding?"
"Puff puff puff puff puff..."
The saintess's smile made Li Mosi feel a tremor in her hands.
He answered Ziyi first.
"Marriage is a ceremony. It means that, with the witnesses of others, a man and a woman have the formal right to mate."
"Unmarried men and women engaging in sexual intercourse should be discouraged because you cannot confirm whether either party is of suitable age, nor can you confirm the father of the child."
"Uh." Zi Yi's expression turned strange. "We can tell by smell."
Can't humans tell the difference?
Zi'an nodded, "We can too."
What parent can't distinguish their child's scent?
Li Moss added helplessly, "At least humans can't do it, and you can't guarantee that other races can too."
He subconsciously underestimated the differences between different races.
Li Mosi then answered Zi'an's question: "Neither women nor men can mate casually before marriage. Even if you can identify the parents of a child, some rare situations can still occur."
He searched his mind for examples.
"Some adult women particularly enjoy mating with young boys, while some adult men prefer to mate with young girls. This is both wrong."
Ziyi and Zian both opened their mouths.
"Some adult men even mate with young boys, which is even more wrong."
The saintess could no longer laugh.
"Ugh! Pfft."
She suddenly broke free from Li Mosi's hand.
"You can't use the scum of the church to represent the entire church!"
Li Mosi was taken aback.
He hasn't even said who it is yet!
"ah?!"
Zi Yi and Zi An both widened their eyes and turned to look at the Holy Maiden.
Really?
They had their backs to the firelight, and their eyes gleamed with a greenish hue.
The saintess was quite embarrassed by this.
She turned to look at the goblins collecting pine resin not far away and fell silent.
Li Mosi tightened the corners of her mouth and continued speaking.
"It's normal to have different expectations of men and women."
"Among humans, women are generally weaker than men. If a woman becomes pregnant, it takes ten months to give birth. During this time, she is not suitable for strenuous work such as plowing, and therefore needs the help of men."
Ziyi and Zian looked at each other.
They all expressed more doubts.
Li Moss continued, "A close-knit community needs mutual compromise and contribution to exist."
Why do men help women during pregnancy? Because the woman is carrying his child.
"How can you ensure that a woman is carrying his child? That requires chastity."
Zi'an suddenly widened his eyes: "Master, is this considered a kind of 'righteousness'?"
We give to each other and receive in return.
It sounds very similar.
Li Mosi nodded: "Perhaps."
He looked up at his two disciples: "But I don't want you to always say that. Benevolence, righteousness, and propriety are not three pots, one filled with grease, one with bread, and one with meat. They are inherently interdependent."
To make it easier for his disciples to understand, he had previously taught in a simple and easy-to-understand way.
Perhaps we'll have to do it this way for a long time to come.
But we also need to remind them appropriately.
"Ritual establishes rules, but doesn't righteousness also establish rules? Benevolence helps others, but don't ritual and righteousness help others?"
Seeing that his two disciples had been deep in thought for a while, Li Mosi waved his hand to bring them back to their senses.
"Let's continue. We must acknowledge our mistakes and correct them; we must never forget our errors."
Only then did the saintess dare to turn back and look at Li Mosi again.
She was increasingly eager to win this guy over.
But... I wish her divine magic could be restored.
As long as she can use divine magic to confirm that the craftsman is not a heretic, she will do everything in her power to take him down!
"If you know you've made a mistake, correct it; if you've mastered a skill, don't forget it."
"Do not speak ill of others, nor boast of your own strengths."
"Don't talk about other people's shortcomings, and don't be arrogant and complacent because of your own outstanding abilities. Yesterday's enemies are the best example."
Zi'an lowered his head: "Yes, Master."
She understood that what her teacher had said was all true.
Zi Yi also strongly agreed.
"A messenger can be kept, but the capacity for action is immeasurable."
"Actions of keeping promises must withstand repeated scrutiny, and a tolerant heart is like a vast container, immeasurable in its capacity."
At this point, Li Mosi raised her head again.
He specifically said, "Using benefits to buy others will lead to betrayal when those benefits are no longer available. But credibility ensures that others are willing to trust you even when you can't offer any immediate benefits, which can help you through difficult times."
A physical credit card didn't exist until banks appeared.
But the "credit" that can be drawn upon in people's hearts has existed since the moment intelligent life appeared.
He believed the second half of the sentence was self-evident.
Zi Yi had already put this into practice when he recruited the strong goblin and its minions into his ranks.
