"Don't set your expectations and lower limits too high..."
"That's right."
Chu Moyin's fingertips twirled the pen. "Once the expected value and lower limit are set too high, the value of the ability will be devalued, and at the same time, the room for improvement - at least in the eyes of others - will be compressed very small - people are all 'sad about Zhongyong'. In fact, it is because he set his lower limit too high, so others are lamenting why he can't surpass his previous level - even if his ability value has dropped, it is still far above the average. In fact, few people care - people only care about the fact that his level has dropped - as long as it can't compare to before, he has fallen. If he can't sort out his state and accept that his spiritual energy is no longer there, it is easier to immerse himself in the glory of the past and become unable to extricate himself..."
"But, you're not really that low-key."
"I'm certainly not a low-key person, but the strength I've displayed—if you've experienced rebirth, you'll understand—is less than 50% of my true strength. If you use this as a criterion, I don't have to worry about what others think of me. I still have room for improvement. Leaving room for improvement is a principle I've always upheld... The reason I'm giving up now is simply because my enemy is completely unreserved. I just want to play within the rules—"
“…”
Chu Moyin's gaze returned to the topic she was concentrating on. "That's why it seemed like I was giving you a break just now. What you lack now isn't skills or accumulated time. All you lack is your physical body. You're so caught up in short-term victories that you've given up on the long-term bigger fish. Don't underestimate me, Ali."
Chu Shangli asked herself, if her position was switched with Chu Moyin's now, she probably wouldn't be able to think of Chu Moyin to this extent.
She knew Chu Moyin very well—probably better than anyone except Bai Xiaoqian, who didn't know the inside story—
But she didn't understand her -
What I understand is Chu Moyin's talent and her strength, but what I can't see through is her actions.
Due to her rebirth, her assumptions about each character had deviated.
If Chu Moyin is a person who only cares about momentary pleasure - for example, if he is completely immersed in love and hate, he will easily only want to achieve a short-term victory and forget to think about the subsequent ending -
If you think about it a little calmly, you will find that your actions have become irreversible.
"How's it going? Do you admire me more than in your last life? Do you feel like applauding my calmness?"
Chu Shangli curled the corners of his mouth and clapped his hands lightly, making a crisp sound.
"Very good, that's how it should be—even if you're my enemy, I can't ignore your abilities and value simply because we're on different sides—though you'll undoubtedly be more difficult to deal with than before your rebirth, and your value will also increase significantly. In your previous life, only I and a few others, due to our own experiences and various private reasons, regarded you as a thorn in our side. Although your abilities improved in all aspects, you lacked the ability to truly interact with the outside world. Apply the abilities you cultivated in your previous life to this one. There's no doubt you'll encounter countless malice even colder than mine, and at the same time, your goodwill will also increase significantly—"
