Chapter Summary
If Liu Ning made promises casually, the situation would be very different now. "I know you don't want to see me, and you're even less willing to have any interaction with our Mage Guild, but there are some things you need to understand. Those people are not simple." Lin Lei truly considered Liu Ning a friend; otherwise, he would never have said those things.
Zhao Wudi's words had another layer of meaning. He was very clear about the relationship between Liu Ning and that young master. If Liu Ning made promises casually, the situation would be very different now. Before, Liu Ning only represented himself, but now he represented the entire faction. If he made too many promises, they might not be able to meet them. It was precisely for this reason that Zhao Wudi had to make things clear to Liu Ning. He was different now. If he continued to act recklessly as before, it would cause a lot of trouble for everyone. That young master was indeed his friend, but their relationship was limited to friendship. They couldn't provide him with any further training. If that guy had the ability, for example, if he could improve according to his own abilities and didn't need their help, such a person could join them. They didn't need any useless people. This was something that had to be understood clearly, otherwise, there would be huge trouble later.
Frankly, Zhao Wudi didn't consider himself politically mature; on the contrary, he considered himself extremely ignorant. But if you compared the two, Liu Ning was definitely the most ignorant, because Liu Ning simply didn't understand these things. In this state, if everything were left to Liu Ning to handle, it would be a fatal mistake. This guy could get everything done through personal connections. If this continued, it wouldn't be good for anyone. Can't he see the current situation? Personal connections are important in a society, but if you don't have enough power, you'll spend far too much time. Precisely because of this, when these things happen, you have to teach him a good lesson. If he's not taught well enough, there might be big trouble later. Liu Ning is soft-hearted; he might agree after a couple of pleas. After all, this guy does everything according to his own ideas, and these things can't be changed.
The two discussed some other matters, and Liu Ning returned to the hotel on his own. Zhao Wudi had some more important matters to attend to, so he didn't follow Liu Ning back. In the hotel lobby, Liu Ning saw the mage Lin Lei already waiting for him. This guy was chuckling and sitting in the lobby. Many people wanted to go over and talk to him, but unfortunately, they were all stopped by the guards around him. So, being able to come and go here means you're not an ordinary person; you're considered a big shot in those people's eyes. But we are mages, and we don't need to explain how powerful our Mage Guild is. If you want to be friends with us, you'd better see if you're qualified. If you're not qualified, try to stay away. We don't want to have any contact with you. Mages are that powerful, so many people want to get close to them, but unfortunately, why should they get close to you? And what qualifications do you have to get close to them? You should see if you have the ability to rise in rank, otherwise, there's nothing more to say.
"I know you don't want to see me, and you're even less willing to have any interaction with our Mage Guild, but there are some things you need to understand. My job is to bring you back. I've already explained a lot to you before, but there are some things we can't explain, especially what you did before. So now we have to go with the flow. If this matter isn't resolved, it won't be good for anyone. Also, as a friend, I have to remind you to try to participate less in what happened that day. The Human Investigation Bureau talks a good game, but they're just using you as a scapegoat. I know what you're thinking. You think you can do anything for the people, but sometimes the people won't thank you. You should look at some of today's newspapers; they're all criticizing this. So try to do less of this thankless work, otherwise you'll make a lot of enemies in the future. Those people are not simple."
Lin Lei truly considered Liu Ning a friend; otherwise, he would never have said those things. He felt uneasy if he didn't speak out, because Liu Ning had been used, and Liu Ning was one of his few friends. If it weren't for the imminent arrival of the magician's questioning, Lin Lei would definitely have confronted the media. If the magician took a liking to any media outlet, they'd probably be on the verge of closing down. That's the magician's power—everyone around him wanted to curry favor with him, mainly because the magician could give them scrolls and such. These things could save their lives in critical moments, or at least delay them. Like Zhao Lele and Liu Ning, when they encountered that black python; if it weren't for that magic scroll, the master and apprentice might have lost their lives long ago. Such things happen all the time.
"Perhaps you're right, or maybe as your friend I'm just reminding you to stay away. You've known my personality for a long time. If I hadn't dealt with that matter, how much disaster would it have caused in human society? You probably know better than I do. So, there are some things we can't avoid. Since we're stronger than ordinary people, we should be responsible for more things. It's a proportional relationship, and no one can escape it. If we manage to avoid it for the time being, that might be good, but what about in the long run? Do you really think these things are good? Our consciences will be tormented. So, I don't think I did anything wrong. If it caused you any confusion, then you're just unlucky. After all, we're good friends, and good friends shouldn't be so petty. Besides, I don't pay attention to things in the newspapers. Do you think a few words can bring me down? Keep dreaming."
