"Little fellow, I'm sorry for putting you through this, interrogating you just as you arrived. Allow me to apologize." The principal Ye Kai spoke this time, his face donned with a small smile, still carefully Jason's expressions.

  "o apologize, Principal." Jason cupped his hand and replied calmly while silently cursing in his heart. 'Old Fox! Sure know how to ge the flow of the versation. First, you ask the questions, trying to fish out information, and after you get your answer you quickly follow it with a quick apology so you will not offend a genius like me. Sure the statement had some truth: The longer ones live, the shrewder ones get!'

  "Aside from asking about your master, there is one more important thing that I want to discuss with you." Ye Kai caressed his white beard and spoke solemnly.

  "Please," Jason could only follow the flow since he was just ag, revealing himself in this situation would have brought harm and suspi upon him.

  Ye Kai coughed and said. "Young man, your talent is unpreted in the history of Glory City. With your talent, it would be a waste for you to study at Holy Orchid Institute, with a teacher worthy enough to teach you. Our institute had special reservations feniuses like you. How about I give you the position of an honorable teacher?"

  Yang Xin was started, watg Ye Kai in shock. The title of the Honorable Teacher was very h only one more person receiving su honor in thousands of years. But at that point, that fellow was already an old man with a head full of white hair.

  "Thank you for your offer but I've to refuse. I still have to foy cultivation and reach the level in alchemy and Inscriptions. I don't have so much free time."

  Jason cursed at the two old foxes. 'Want to use this nonseo keep an eye on me? Hmph! do you guys take me for a fool or something?'

  Ye Kai and Ye Shuo's eyes lit up with a light but it was cealed deeply. Sharing a look secretly, Ye Kai smiled.

  "o be in such a hurry, young man. There are many bes of being an honorable teacher and as for time, you only have to teach a css two times a week. Iurn, you use all the resources in the Glory City with the institute paying for them"

  Jason's wavered after hearing such a great deal. Even though he had many precious herbs but all the ons, he found in the ruins had turned inte due to the flow of the time. Also, there were few more resources, mostly on that he needed in rge quantities and could only be found iy.

  "I agree but I've some ditions," Jason replied after pting gains and losses.

  "What ditions?"

  "First: I'll only provide lessons two times a week."

  "We've no problem with that." Ye Kai nodded his head.

  "Sed: I'll only teach a few numbers of selected students personally chosen by me."

  Ye Kai was a little taken aback by his sed question, asking. "But isn't it best to tea entire css rather than wasting time to select suitable students from thousands of didates?"

  "I uand your but let me ask you instead what will happen if the poes into the wrong hands or if the dark-hearted person will gain power beyond imagination..." Jason stared into their eyes, his gaze deep and serious. He sighed and his cold voice echoed. "It will only result iru and harm."

  "Even though hundreds of people admitted into the institute but I guarahat even if we searow, kind and good-hearted people still be ted very easily."

  Casting a look over all the faces, Jason tinued. "My master once said that young people are easy to be swayed or corrupted if they are given ifted a power beyond their reach. It will not improve the situation but further downgrade it, bringing harm to on people... I never cim myself to be a good person and I also do extreme things if pushed too far but at least I'm a responsible person who knows the differeween right fr."

  "But it wasn't true for all the young people especially those from powerful or iial families. The children from noble families are exposed to power from such a young age with a rare few exceptions of course and that is why they sider themselves superior to on people. Such children are also exposed to discrimination which results in them itting crimes while being backed by their families. Even you guys have seen such cases in the Glory City in the past. Most of the time, the victims were either silenced by threatening them or bribing them."

  "Now, tell me if I let such people gain the profound knowledge then you guys take the responsibility? Because I know I 't. I don't believe in justice but I also don't want to harm any i."

  The st sentence oken in a usual loud voice.

  That sentence sisted of Jason's soul power mixed within jolting everyoheir mind shook, like someone had hammered oop of their head.

  Even Principal Ye Kai who was calm until now was startled by his skill.

  Nodding his head, he replied. "Indeed! Young master Nie Li is right. Your insight is indeed greater than mine."

  The ge in address caused a great shock to Ye Shuo, Ye Sheng, and Yang Xin. Principal Ye Kai was a great senior from the same geion as Ye Mo, slightly more respected than Gu Yan. For him to address a young man as 'Young Master', one could imagihe result.

  "A skill that shake the mind of a Bck Gold-ranked expert. If someone from Dark Guild learns it, then Glory City is doomed." Ye Shuo sucked a cold breath, his eyes filled with dread.

  Yang Xiu asked curiously. "Then how will you select the students?"

  "Determination, Hard work, and Character. My master oold me that with these three, one achieve anything, eveing heaven's chosen genius."

  "Well, determination and hard work, we uand but what about character?" Yang Xin said.

  Everyone else also listetentively.

  "Character matters just as much as strength or skill," Jason said firmly. "Take revenge, for example. It's a powerful motivator, but it shape a person in dangerous ways. A vengeful person will do whatever it takes to achieve their goal, no matter the cost.

  "At the end of that road, there are usually two outes. One: after achieving their revehey find some sembnce of pead try to rebuild their life. But that’s rare—they’ve often bee so detached from the world that even peace feels out of reach. Two: they embrace the power that vengeance gave them. It corrupts them, turning them into something monstrous."

  Jason paused, his expression darkening as he recalled a painful memory. "I’ve seen it happen. A fellow assassin I knew once went down that path. He let his thirst for vengeane him, and it twisted him into someone unreizable. He became a monster who took lives indiscriminately. The destru he left behind... it’s not something I’ll ever fet."
