"I... I was momentarily confused before, but after talking with Instructor Xu yesterday, I've realized the truth. How could I possibly compete with Instructor Xu? I know I'm not capable, so I'm here to admit my mistake."
Instructor Xu snorted, "Now you know?"
"Yes, I think, since Instructor Xu didn't come today... I knew it wasn't good. He's probably planning at home how to deal with Su Leng. I don't want to be dealt with, and... Su Leng doesn't know what I'm doing. If I tell him what I'm doing, he'll surely look down on me..."
Instructor Xu stared at him, seemingly trying to see from his eyes if he was lying.
At this moment, he could hear Ye Ning comforting him through the earpiece.
"Stay calm, remember, calm and humble. The more humble you are, the happier he will be, feeling a sense of pride, which will diminish other feelings. The less likely you'll be discovered. You're doing great. Mu Yeli has already instructed people to come over. Just rest assured."
