"I worked hard and put in everything I had to become the Hokage's secretary. Only then did I win teacher's approval, and after competing hard for a very, very long time, I finally obtained this position. I can't possibly give it up so easily."
Compared to that guy Arashi, who hemmed and hawed for ages without managing to say a damn thing, Xinyu was an extremely straightforward person, laying everything out directly and analyzing it all.
It was exactly the same as what Lord Torifu had said, not off by even the slightest bit.
That tiny bit of emotional foundation was nowhere near enough to erase so many other things.
Even deeper, longer-lasting feelings might not necessarily succeed in wiping away something the other person had spent years fighting for.
"Your choice isn't wrong, child, but Arashi hasn't done anything wrong either. It's only human nature that he would like you."
"It's just that both of you have your own difficulties, yet both of you are too concerned about face to open your mouths to each other."
What Lord Torifu said made quite a bit of sense. "If you really are fated, perhaps you can start as friends and see whether the other person has what it takes."
After hearing this, Xinyu nodded. "Yes, Lord Torifu. That's exactly what the two of us discussed."
"In two months, he'll be going to the Otherworld for his internship. Once we're no longer working together, the two of us should be able to calm down and carefully analyze things between us."
After hearing Xinyu's words, Lord Torifu nodded in great satisfaction. He could only say that she truly was a disciple taught by Anhua; her abilities in every aspect were outstanding.
Compared to Arashi's awkward, hesitant manner, Xinyu was extremely open and poised.
