All one could say was, if you did not test it, you would never know; once tested, it was a real shock.
If Russell had known years ago that Yuan Yuan possessed such outstanding affinity, he would have swallowed his pride and gone to the Yuan Family to lure her up the mountain...
In a sense, Yuan Yuan coming to the Heavenly Kingdom Lineage might truly have been fate's arrangement.
Now, even the last obstacle was gone.
Huai Shi thought for a moment. "What do you think?"
Yuan Yuan fell silent.
As though considering it, she looked up at Huai Shi after a long while. "Teacher, do you hope I'll do this?"
Huai Shi sighed helplessly.
"I don't know either."
Leaning back in his chair, he let out a wistful sigh. "Two hours ago, Mr. Vitaly told me that a teacher was only a teacher. They couldn't control a student for their entire life. Even parents couldn't protect their children forever.
"This concerns your whole life. How could I casually make assurances about something like this?"
"I'm sorry, Xiao Yuan, but I can't give you any advice."
Huai Shi said, "You must make the decision yourself.
"Whether you join the Heavenly Kingdom Lineage or remain as you are now, even if one day you want to leave this place and return to East Xia, I will respect your choice.
"But no matter what, I hope you follow your heart and find a path that can make you happy.
"You're different from Little Nineteen. You always restrain yourself and think indulgence is wrong—but at least in this matter, I hope you can listen to your heart.
"Whatever job you do, whatever you choose to do, aside from proving your worth, shouldn't it first make you happy?"
Yuan Yuan said nothing more.
