Seeing Pei Ze's calm expression, free from any resentment or dissatisfaction, Mo Weng gave a silent nod of approval.
"An exceptional Wizard must learn to remain calm."
"Remaining composed when facing an enemy is one thing, but you must also learn to calmly assess the difference in power between you and your opponent."
Mo Weng said faintly,
"As long as you remain a Wizard Apprentice, you'll never be as important as Pei Yonggao in the eyes of the higher-ups."
"But on the other hand, if you one day become stronger than Pei Yonggao, you can use the very same methods he used against you, on him."
"In fact, if you're powerful enough, not only will the Dawn Council not hold you accountable, but they will go out of their way to cover for you."
Mo Weng reached out and patted Pei Ze's shoulder earnestly.
"Focus on becoming a Wizard as soon as you can."
"Yes, Teacher!"
Pei Ze nodded firmly.
What Mo Weng said was realistic and cruel, but it was an undeniable truth.
