Yun Yan realized that Itachi Uchiha's thinking had already started going astray. They were clearly not on the same path, so he had no patience left for him.
He jumped straight down from the concrete pipe and walked forward expressionlessly, intending to leave.
He truly had no desire to keep this Uchiha Clan young master with a broken brain company.
Yet Itachi Uchiha seemed determined to keep pressing the matter. Seeing Yun Yan about to leave, he grew anxious and called out from behind him:
"Wait! Senior Yun Yan, I haven't finished asking for your guidance yet. How exactly do you view the relationship between the clan and the village?"
As he spoke, Itachi Uchiha jumped down from the concrete pipe as well and came to Yun Yan's side.
The boy's expression was earnest, his demeanor utterly sincere—the kind of look someone had when genuinely seeking another person's advice.
"I can tell that Senior Yun Yan, you are different from the other Uchiha. You are a very clear-minded person, and you must have your own views.
"I want to use your views to determine the path I should take in the future. Please!"
After saying that, Itachi Uchiha gave him a deep bow.
His attitude in seeking guidance was certainly proper.
But... Yun Yan truly had no interest in correcting Itachi Uchiha's thinking.
For one thing, the kid was remarkably precocious. Sensitive and prone to overthinking since childhood, his ideas had probably already taken root at this age. Those misguided thoughts would likely be very difficult to straighten out.
For another... Yun Yan knew himself well. He was a selfish person whose own thinking was hardly normal, so why should he go influencing someone else's thoughts?
Besides, he did not even like Itachi Uchiha. Why bother with him?
