"How could it be? I only sought out the farmer once I was sure of my resolute beliefs."
Master Tian chuckled softly, tapping his own temple, "I've long been a wild grass growing freely, beyond the boundary he can harvest. As long as my belief doesn't falter, he'll never be able to pull me back. And, in the end, I still have to thank him... It was he who helped me bind the 'shadow,' allowing me to occasionally use my powers without worrying about backfiring on myself."
"So you agreed to Inspector Cheng?"
"No." Master Tian paused for a moment, then suddenly shifted the topic back, "Do you know why I never let you practice martial arts?"
"I know, you're afraid that after awakening my powers, I won't live long like you."
Tian Lei pouted, "But I can't even awaken the shadow, maybe in my case, the genetic mutation stops, and I'm just a normal person."
"No, you're special."
