Pretending To Be A Boss

```

"Won't you explain?" Qing JiuYu said.

Tang Xian shook his head and replied, pointing to Bai Mansheng, saying:

"In terms of beauty, Miss Bai has the temperament of a snow lotus from the deep mountains, her skin and bones as clear and cool as ice; she seems to transcend the dust of the world. However, from a human perspective, such a woman is too untouched by the common world, lacking a bit of the warmth of life, making one feel no desire to approach her."

Without waiting for a reaction from the two women, Tang Xian then looked toward Qing JiuYu and said:

"As for you, your beauty carries an enchanting, aggressive charm, wild and fiery with a touch of the exotic. But from a human perspective, such a woman is like a blazing flame, seemingly warm yet actually dangerous, likewise making one feel no desire to approach."

Tang Xian seriously added:

"You both are under the pleasant delusion that you are the most beautiful women under heaven, thus this pointless contest of beauty, which is quite laughable. It's better to balance each other out."

"But even if that were truly possible, it still wouldn't meet the criteria for 'the best.'

"There were nearly ten billion humans in the world, many of whom were of outstanding beauty. In places like Ukraine, France, Ireland, there are beautiful women everywhere, and simply being attractive is not enough to be crowned 'the best.' Even a face carved and sculpted, possessing both longevity and stunning beauty, becomes tiresome after being seen too often.

"For example, in certain countries, beauty can be formulaically produced through cosmetic surgery, creating a multitude of identical faces. Aren't those faces beautiful? In ancient times, they would have been considered nation-destroying beauties, but with them so common, they instead cause weariness."

"Of course, the same goes for an interesting soul, which can also become boring after a while. Life's beauty resides only in the first encounter. So whether comparing external or internal beauty, both are vulgar and laughable acts. Being oneself is all that's necessary."

"In summary, both of you left a pretty good impression on me at first sight. Despite each having flaws, the good outweighs the bad. But from the second glance, you both gradually started to look less attractive. So there's nothing to compare."

Tang Xian concluded.

This summary, like a Time Stop Barrier, silenced everything around.

Dong Ran and Qiao Shanshan were shocked for a long time before they finally confirmed to themselves that Tang Xian must be... blind, right?

He claims these two women aren't attractive? Could they be called unattractive? If they weren't, then the world would be left with only ugliness.

Qing JiuYu's breathing became slightly hurried.

Bai Mansheng's fingers trembled stiffly.

Although Qing JiuYu had asked about something else, Tang Xian felt that questions should be addressed one by one. So this couldn't be called an irrelevant response.

He decided to first resolve this pointless comparison of beauty with Bai Mansheng, then consider other issues later.

He paused, ignoring the rising anger of the two women, and with a certain melancholy in his gaze, he said:

"Imitating human behavior is just a beginner's approach. As you progress, you must think and reason as a human would."

This nonsensical statement led the thoughts of the two women astray for a second.

What in the world was he talking about?

"I must have told both of you before, right? To learn to think the way humans do. Although they are frail, in terms of thought, whether in the realm of science or philosophy, they are far ahead of your civilizations."

"But mimicking humans is not easy. After the advanced stages, you need to understand how to be the disinterested onlooker to remain clear-headed."

"This requires you to think very rationally, stepping out of your current persona to reason."

"Thus, to better understand humans, I created a second persona for myself."

"This persona can be called Xu Xian. Compared to the persona of Tang Xian, he is more emotional. He possesses a sense of romance that is somewhat valueless but allows better interactions with others. Through the existence of Xu Xian, I understood my social and character flaws as Tang Xian."

"Therefore, I decided to take parts from both personas and integrate them."

"The process is still quite complicated. I haven't fully mastered it yet."

Tang Xian looked earnestly at Bai Mansheng and continued:

"I haven't lied to you. Xu Xian occupies all of my neurons responsible for emotional thought and can stand on equal footing with Tang Xian as a persona."

"He enjoys folktales and myths that are not believed by others, and he indeed doesn't dislike snakes and foxes. To him and me, they are lovely little animals. Xu Xian thought you were a person worth befriending, so he followed your wishes and told a lie."

"From my current persona's standpoint, the greatest purpose of love between men and women is the perpetuation of life, but for Xu Xian, it is a form that transcends life itself. Some people live their whole lives in a daze, which is unrelated to their living environment and lifestyle." Stay tuned for updates on empire

"It's simply because they haven't met the one they love. Xu Xian is someone who believes in these things."

With not a hint of perfunctory in Tang Xian's eyes and his scholarly tone coupled with an excessively rational temperament, both Qing JiuYu and Bai Mansheng started to feel somewhat swayed by his credibility.

"This is the first time I've heard someone put a positive spin on personality splitting," Qiao Shanshan said with a complex expression.

It sounded absurd, and yet, Tang Xian's performance made it seem quite plausible.

The highest art of acting is to incorporate real emotions into the portrayal.

Ke Ye and Yu Xiaozhe had both commented that the current Tang Xian was more tolerant of fools.
