"There's no need to thank me, Yuyan," Lin Feng said, his tone steady and composed.
"You are my student, and I am your teacher. Guiding you is both my duty and my responsibility. Your achievements today are the result of your own talent and natural gifts. I merely pointed you in the right direction."
He paused, his gaze sharpening slightly as he continued, "But you must remember this well… power has a way of changing people. It tempts the heart, distorts judgment, and magnifies even the smallest flaw. Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. With your current cultivation, you already stand above most within this city. It would be easy for arrogance to take root."
Lin Feng clasped his hands behind his back, his voice lowering.
