Seeing Zhao Lin staring blankly, Zhu Huaishan thought he didn't understand and patiently explained, "The tree that stands tallest in the forest is the one the wind will surely destroy. A martial artist's jealousy can sometimes be even more ferocious than an ordinary person's."
"Many geniuses are killed or crippled before they have a chance to mature, their lives cut short. It's a common story, and you must guard against it!"
"Furthermore, if word of you reaching the Bone Training Stage reaches the bandits' ears, they'll worry about you growing stronger and will surely go to even greater lengths to harm you."
"Only when you reach the Qi Realm and have the ability to protect yourself will you no longer need to worry so much about this."
A warmth spread through Zhao Lin's heart. He said in a low voice, "I understand, Master. I will heed your teachings."
Zhu Huaishan nodded. The more he looked at Zhao Lin, the more he liked what he saw.
