Chapter 7253 (Seven Thousand Two Hundred and Fifty-Three) Avoidance

The gray-handed man said, "Really? Is that really what you call natural?"

"Do you think that can't be called natural? What would happen if we were unnatural in the presence of the Lord?" the Brown-Handed Man asked.

“We’ll be questioned by the user, taught a lesson, and of course, there might be even more serious consequences,” said the Grayhand Man.

“So is this a difficult thing for us?” the Brown-Handed Man asked.

“If you’re asking about ‘appearing natural,’ that’s certainly not difficult. But if you’re asking about truly ‘natural,’ I think it’s not easy at all, and you could even say it’s extremely difficult,” said the Gray-Handed Man.

The brown-handed man fell into thought.

"What do you want to say?" Grayhand asked, "Regarding this topic."

“I’m still thinking about it,” the brown-handed man said. “While I’m thinking about it, I also want to hear you say it.”

"Thinking and listening at the same time?" Grayhand asked. "Doing it simultaneously?"

“That’s right. It seems perfectly normal to me. Who doesn’t think when they’re listening to someone talk?” the brown-handed man asked.

Grayhand said, "But normally when you're listening to someone talk, even if you're thinking about something, your thoughts are usually related to what they're saying, right? If the other person is saying one thing and you're thinking about something else, does that count as daydreaming?"

The brown-handed man chuckled, "Let's just leave it at that. It's normal to get distracted, isn't it?"

"Do you consider it normal to daydream?" Grayhand asked. "When you said that, were you thinking about some situations we've encountered in the past?"

“You mean the situations that occurred when you were with the Master?” the brown-handed man asked. “Yes,” the gray-handed man replied.

“Actually, what I wanted to say earlier was that when we were working with the Lord, it was normal to be thinking about other things while listening to the Lord’s words,” said the Brown-Handed Man.

“Sometimes it’s impossible to concentrate on what the Lord is saying, but you still have to pretend that you are listening attentively,” said the Grey-Handed Man.

“If you focus solely on listening to the Lord’s words and don’t think about anything else, you may sometimes find it difficult to respond, and you may also encounter problems when responding to the Lord’s words,” said the Brown-Handed Man.

“Yes, we really had no other choice back then. We always had to think of other things, like how to speak so as not to be punished by the Lord, and how to behave to minimize our risks,” said Grayhand. “But thinking about it, wasn’t what we did before actually abnormal?”

The brown-handed man said, “That’s true. But whether it’s normal or not, we can definitely do it, right? To paraphrase what I just said, people like us who have followed the master for so long can do it naturally even if we don’t do it casually, but we do need to add words to it.”

The gray-handed man said, "We do need to add 'make it seem' that way, right?"

The brown-handed man grunted in response.

Grayhand said, "I think that people like us who have followed our master for so long can 'appear' natural even if we don't do it casually. I felt that you agreed with this statement just now."

“I can’t disagree,” the brown-handed man laughed. “What you said is the truth itself.”

The gray-handed man laughed and said, "Even if you disagree, you can always come up with a reason to support your 'disagreement'."

The brown-handed man said, "Am I going to do this on purpose again? Really?"

The gray-handed man laughed and said, "I didn't ask you to do anything. It's up to you."
