Chapter 5584 (Five Thousand Five Hundred and Eighty-Four) Yi Xiang

The brown-handed man said, “Even for ordinary people, if they develop the habit of not speaking in absolutes, it will often be helpful to their lives, right?”

The Gray Hand said, “That’s what I think. If you don’t say something absolutely, it may give people the impression that you are not sure, but in fact it is reliable. Because it is difficult to give people the impression that you are speaking casually or accidentally deceiving others.”

“What you said, does it have anything to do with him?” asked the man with brown hands.

“It’s somewhat related.” said the man with gray hands.

“Did seeing some of his actions make that more likely for you?” asked the Brown-Handed Man.

“Yes,” said the Gray Hand Man.

“Do you completely believe what he said?” asked the Brown Hand Man.

“Absolutely?” said the Gray Hand Man, “I don’t want to say anything absolute anymore.”

There was a hint of mischief in the gray-handed man’s tone when he said this, and the brown-handed man heard it.

The brown-handed man said, “It’s showing now? Are you saying naughty things again?”

The Gray Hand Man said, “You heard it again.”

The brown-handed man said, “It’s very obvious.”

The Gray Hand said, “Yes.”

“That’s actually true, isn’t it?” asked the brown-handed man.

“Yes.” The Gray Hand Man said, “I don’t absolutely believe him. I say this because I don’t want to be absolute. However, I think most of what he said is credible. I can only say that this is my own opinion.”

The brown-handed man asked, “Do you think so because of the way he spoke?”

“Is that so?” said the Gray Hand Man. “You must have noticed that after he finished speaking, he seemed to feel that his words were not rigorous enough, so he continued to add to them, as if he was afraid that if there were loopholes in his words, you and I would think he was deceiving me.”

“I have discovered it.” The brown-handed man said, “Not only have I discovered it, I even feel that I have this tendency.”

“When did it start?” asked the Gray Hand Man.

“It was after something happened today.” The brown-handed man said, “Have I had this habit before?” The gray-handed man said, “I don’t think so. Could it be that I didn’t notice it before?”

“How many people can notice something that you haven’t noticed?” asked the brown-handed man.

“And yourself?” said the Gray Hand Man.

The brown-handed man added, “I haven’t noticed it myself, so I think it’s very likely that there isn’t one.”

The Gray Hand Man said, “I don’t think so either, but because I don’t want to be absolute, I just said it seems not to be the case.”

“You come again.” said the man with brown hands.

“Yes, you heard it again.” said the Gray Hand Man.

The brown-handed man said, “When you sometimes say something with a naughty feel, I feel it very clearly.”

“When you put it that way, my feelings are obvious too,” the Gray Hand Man said.

“Does this have anything to do with the fact that you and I are not ordinary people?” asked the man with brown hands.

“Maybe.” said the man with gray hands.

The brown-handed man said, “I seem to be getting more and more accustomed to this feeling of not speaking in absolutes.”

The Gray Hand asked, “Very comfortable?”

“Yes.” said the man with brown hands.

The Gray Hand said, “Just now I mentioned that he seems to continue to add if he feels that it is not rigorous enough. Have you become like this because of his way of speaking?”

The brown-handed man said, “It’s possible.”

The Gray Hand Man said, “Are you more easily influenced by ordinary people now than before?”

“It should be.” The brown-handed man said, “Do you feel that you have become like this too?”
