Getting a Master

"No, I have to go ask Yue Yue about this," Ye Mo started getting agitated. The moment he thought of how the young society head was a First Heaven Society member and how the First Heaven Society had colluded with the Holy Poison Palace to eliminate the Sky Bane Palace, it was obvious that Xiao Yue was just a chess piece for the young society head.

 

"Ye Mo, calm down," Hong Ling said, snapping Ye Mo out of his agitation. "Xiao Yue might have done all that to protect you. Don't you know that? Since she hasn't tried to make you back off her, can't you understand what she's trying to do? The thing you need to do now is to not look for her. You have to keep playing along. When you're strong enough, you can end the act and rescue her." 

 

Xiao Yue hadn't used the most direct method of rejection to make him back away. Instead, she encouraged him so he could grow strong. How could he expose her and ruin her efforts?
