People often say that women are intelligent creatures and although this was usually said in a derogatory way, Desmond had to accept that such a phrase was quite true because his current circumstances were based on the actions of two intelligent women.
The first would, of course, be Miao Xiauyue who not for a second bought Desmond's act but was still smart enough to recognize his usefulness, because of this Desmond now had to help Xiauyue to prove his worth and gain her trust unless he wanted to antagonize the sect master's daughter.
The other woman who had contributed to all of this was Elaisa, not only since it was she who recommended Desmond to take this mission in the first place but she also chose and gave Desmond access to the skills to complete it.
