Seeing the hope in Yan Xi's eyes, Uchiha Hiko understood how much she valued her family. Letting her return home was something he wanted to see as well.

Uchiha Hiko turned lightly toward the boulder ahead, then glanced at Su Mu Cheng. The unnatural lift at the corner of his lips left Bulma staring blankly from the side.
"Alright, I'll work hard and learn."
The moment Yan Xi heard there was something she could learn, her heart immediately warmed. Especially when she saw Uchiha Hiko say he would teach her something, her heart began pounding wildly. This was what she desperately wanted.
Strength!
She wanted to become strong. She wanted to knock down those evil people, those utterly vile bastards. As long as she defeated them, no one would ever dare bully
