Maitreya looked toward Yao, his eyes filled with warmth. "It is you, Yao. I see that you hold the welfare of the world in your heart, and your wisdom is truly extraordinary. You are a rare talent for cultivation. Would you be willing to take me as your master, learn the supreme Dharma, and better serve the Human Race in the future?" His words were brimming with admiration and anticipation.
Yao was slightly taken aback and hesitated. "Exalted Immortal, though I have the desire to cultivate, the flooding that plagues the Human Race has yet to be resolved. I cannot set my mind at ease." His voice carried a trace of worry, and his face revealed his deep concern for his people.
A tribesman nearby urged, "Yao, this is a monumental opportunity! If you let it slip by, it will be gone forever. As for the floods, we will all think of a way together." His voice was full of urgency and hope, wishing for Yao to seize this rare chance.
