That Aina... The image of the young girl appeared in Xie Tingyun's mind again, but now that he recalled it, he felt that she had nothing in common with Qiao Nian.
At least whether Qiao Nian wants to become a disciple or do something else, he won't use these roundabout ways, nor will he find other people to talk to him.
Ina looks generous, but she is not frank enough when it comes to doing things.
And this frankness is one of the most important things in communication between people.

Moody returned to the hotel where the banquet was held without success.
He left all the guests behind and went to the suite on the 33rd floor where Elena was staying, then raised his hand and knocked on the door.
“Knock, knock.”
The person inside opened the door for him. Seeing his ugly face, he paused for a second and asked, "What's wrong?"
Moody walked in first, pulling the tie around his neck and throwing it on the sofa as he walked. He could hardly suppress his anger and whispered, "They are so ungrateful!"
Elena closed the door and followed him in. When she heard this, she had a bad feeling in her heart.
Moody turned around abruptly, his eyes full of anger, and he gritted his teeth and said, "She is just an abandoned child of the First Research Institute. It is her blessing that you like her. She even said shamelessly that you are not the most talented person she has ever seen..."
… You’re not the most gifted person she’s ever met!
Elena's mind was hit hard by the wooden stick, and her whole body was shaken.
Moody's angry voice was heard again: "Oh, you are a recognized genius on our island. Who doesn't know your ability? She is just making excuses and is unwilling to teach you."
Elena took a deep breath. She had never felt so embarrassed before. She curled up her fingers hanging by her side and looked at him with her beautiful eyes: "Did you go to find Xie Tingyun?"
Moody realized that she seemed unhappy, and walked over to her with a bit of uneasiness, trying to hold her hand: "Lina, I want to help you."
Elena shook her hand away: “You didn’t discuss it with me!”
The fierce and heart-devouring anger in Moody was suppressed by her. He reached out to pull her again, and apologized: "Sorry, I didn't tell you because I wanted to help you... Don't be angry."
"She keeps saying that she looks down on your talent. There's no need for us to beg her anymore." He lowered his eyes and looked at the pale girl with pity and heartache: "Don't you want to find a teacher? I'll help you find one. I promise it won't be worse than Xie Tingyun!"
"… "
Elena felt her head buzzing, and the words that Xie Tingyun conveyed to her by Moody were like a loud slap in her face.
The reason why she was so furious was not so much because she was angry that Mudi ran to find Xie Tingyun without telling her, but rather because Xie Tingyun's words crushed the self-esteem that she had always been proud of.
Seeing that she hadn't spoken yet, Moody felt even more distressed: "Lina, you will always be the best in my eyes! Not only me, but everyone on our island knows your strength. It's her loss that she doesn't think highly of you, not your fault..."
He didn't believe that there was anyone in the world who was better than Elena.
He himself is excellent enough, including Ying Shi and so many people on the island. The second generation of the third world has enjoyed educational resources that are beyond the imagination of the outside world... and they have been trained in the best education, so they are naturally superior to others in cognition and various abilities.
