ICE & FIRE IMMORTALITY
VIRTUE AND POLICY

“Really?” Only one word came out of Yi Cai's mouth.

“Of course! Our teacher was tired of punishing him. The weary are not the punished, but the punitive. So bad, Master to let it waver against the rules. Jia Yun was indeed unusual. That's why, he got the nickname executioner.” Jia Rong did not tire of his boss mocking his own sister.

As for Jia Yun, it did not bother him at all. He let Jia Rong tell about his ugliness to Yi Cai. Meanwhile, Jia Yun, casually ate a snack of walnuts served on the table.

“Wah! That's grand. Who would have thought, if he were like that. Perhaps, that was what was meant by quietly drifting,” chimpanzee Yi Cai.

“Ya, right. He had always been like that, always making others dumbfounded by his deeds,” Jia Rong replied.

“Oh yes, why is he Jia Yun can be called executioner's punisher?” ask Yi Cai.

“Hmm .. it was because the executioners who were assigned to punish the naughty disciples in the exhausted sect punished Jia Yun. Those who were exhausted when Jia Yun punished hundreds of wooden board blows,” explained Jia Rong.

“R-hundreds? She's that strong? Whoa, terrific! Is he not human?” Yi Cai hysterically heard it.

“Maybe, his body has been immune to pain. Or it could be, the sensitivity to the pain is gone,” Jia Rong replied randomly. However, the innocent-hearted Yi Cai, easily trusted him just like that.

“Aaah... So so,” murmured Yi Cai.

“Hey, you two! Have you finished gossiping about the person sitting at the same table as you? As if, my presence here is not considered,”, Jia Yun said.

“Hey, wayward boy! We were just having a casual conversation. Since the three of us are at the same table, blame yourself for not joining the conversation. One plate of walnuts, even you spend it yourself,” reply Jia Rong while glancing at the plate that was lined with walnuts that was almost toilet by Jia Yun.

Jia Yun felt insinuated, then stopped crushing the walnut shells. Then, he poured the tea into his glass, then sipped it.

Reflek Jia Rong and Yi Cai watched Jia Yun who was sipping her tea casually. Jia Yun, who noticed that he was being noticed, stopped sipping tea in his glass.

“Why? Am I too handsome, that you look at me that seriously?” Jia Yun prided himself in front of Jia Yun and Yi Cai.

“We have the same face. What does that mean, you praise me too?” reply Jia Rong.

“Aisssh ...,” hiss Jia Yun.

Yi Cai was pensive in his silence. The word ‘tampan’ makes him feel as if he is offended by that one word. He was very aware of himself who had a ugly face, to make him feel low as low.

“Ah? Wh why? What's up?” stuttered.

“What are you daydreaming about? There were both of us here, but you were all daydreaming,”.

“I ... I just ... do you not feel disgusted with me?” Yi Cai finally came to light over what was troubling his mind.

Jia Rong and Jia Yun saw each other. A moment later, the two knitted their eyebrows together. After that, they simultaneously looked at Yi Cai's face.

“Jijik? Why should I be disgusted? Were you born out of a pile of tai, or horse piss? Even though you were born from a pile of tai or horse piss, right now you don't smell shit.” Bluntly Jia Rong said that to Yi Cai.

Hearing Jia Rong's words, Yi Cai felt extremely amused. He was eager to laugh, but he purposely held it back so that it would not happen.

“Unfortunately, I wasn't born from a pile of tai, nor horse piss. All humans are born from the womb of a woman. Right, eh? Just ... I'm resting on my face. You can guess easily about why I wear this mask. I don't have a face as handsome as the two of you. And ... If you had seen the face behind my mask, you would have never spoken to me. That's what others say about my face, which they say is disgusting,” Yi Cai explained.

“Hey, did every time you met someone else, you judged their good looks and compared them?” The question from Jia Yun, made Yi Cai stunned for an instant.

Ever since Yi Cai was insulted for having such a ugly face, he began to observe every line and corner of everyone's face. He judged it by numbers, then compared it to other faces. He himself is not aware, if he himself inadvertently compares the physical details of humans, and eliminates what he considers to be incomparable.

“Jijik? Do we have the right to be disgusted by the faces of others? We are all born with different faces, but not the two of us who have the same face. And although we have the same face, but our attitude is opposite. In addition, if only all humans in this world had similar faces, how could we tell the difference? Everyone has their own special characteristics. Some are born ugly, ordinary, and some can be said to be perfect. However, no human is perfect. The advantages of a person, not just about how their face looks. We have our own advantages and disadvantages. Rather than focusing on our shortcomings, it helps us hone our skills. Right so?” Jia Rong provided enough motivation to make Yi Cai's heart moved.

For some reason, his heart felt a pain. But on the other hand, he felt very happy. Never thought, if he could meet a pure and clean heart. A person who had positive and innocent thoughts was like the twins Jia Rong and Jia Yun.

“Eitt ... do you want to cry? Hey, what's wrong with you? Since when does a man feel overwhelmed by words like this? Your heart is too weak as the girls,” Jia Yun said, as he looked at Yi Cai's glazed net twinkle.

“Hey, shut up! Your words are inappropriate. How rough!” jia Rong Protest, remind Jia Yun to be kind.

“Yes, yes, I know. Yi Cai, I'm sorry. I pulled my words just now,” Jia Yun said in his trademark flat tone.

“No problem. Jia Yun was not wrong. I do have a weak heart and am easily moved by the little things about feeling, because I have never felt the warmth of feeling from my fellow human beings. Before, I thought humans were evil and manipulative. If we are not profitable for them, they will not allow us to be around us. Moreover, because of my unsightly face, they hate me for no reason,” Yi Cai said.

“Do not worry. Not all humans are as you imagine. Only the lowly humans like to demean others. Honored humans will never do anything to harm others,” Jia Rong said.
