Zheng Da was very clear about his strengths and weaknesses. If, at the very start, he really had the idea of deceiving Qin Huai, this apprentice, before he had seen the world, once he understood what kind of person Qin Huai was and truly witnessed Qin Huai's talent, that idea disappeared.
He felt this idea was too despicable. Sometimes he even felt he was unworthy of being Qin Huai's master.
But he really wanted to be Qin Huai's master. The pearl would not be covered in dust, but at the very least, he, Zheng Da, was the first to wipe off the dust.
Zheng Da had never thought that the term "appreciation for talent" could appear in connection with him.
