Xue Mingzhi was momentarily stunned, then scratched his head with some hesitation and said, "Given Teacher's character, it might just be that he simply doesn't want to see anyone."
Uncle Changyuan frowned and subconsciously said,
"How is that possible? To risk offending the Imperial Astronomical Bureau's Superintendent just because he doesn't want to meet, that's too..."
Xue Mingzhi shrugged his shoulders:
"Teacher once said, if one has to weigh the pros and cons for every action and cannot act according to one's own desires, then what's the point of having divine skills that can reach the heavens?
Besides, given Teacher's identity, it's not just the Imperial Astronomical Bureau's Superintendent—he might not even be willing to meet with Emperor Xia himself."
Uncle Changyuan instinctively wanted to argue, but the superintendent's behavior and Xue Mingzhi's confidence seemed to tell him that these words were not empty talk.
