Qi Yue's eyes reflected a sliver of hesitation as he said, "I'm not unwilling to teach you, but you're not suited to learning my powers. Also, we may soon be leaving this place for distant lands—a place you cannot go. However, if you still want to learn, I could recommend a powerful Divine Beast to guide you in accessing the powers you can cultivate."
Yue Ye's eyes, once filled with glimmers of hope, promptly dimmed. Her head dropped as she said, "Master, are you still angry with me? I was wrong, I shouldn't have treated you that way. It's my pride that led you to leave us. Had you stayed, maybe you could have saved more of our tribe members."
