Although Wei qi agreed to his teacher's words ,his mind was in chaos cause cultivating on his own is the only thing he had done in his life but now he has to be responsible for another person which is far from his expertise .
he doesn't even know what to teach another person because he can not teach all his knowledge . he is not expert in one thing like his master who is excellent in close combat ,especially her drunken fist technique with which she can even go toe to toe with sect master for quite a while .
He researched in everything a sect has to offer as he thought cultivator live a long life so why not try to learn everything and started to learn calligraphy, painting , chess , music , weapon making , weapon enchanting , every form of fight from fist to hammer , array making . He even learned alchemy but never used a pill only to sold them for spirit stones most of which were taken by his master as apprentice appreciation to drink and to repay the collateral damage she does after drinking.
he may have master level knowledge in one but in others advanced level knowledge but he does not have grandmaster level knowledge in anything nor saint level as every elder in the sect has one grandmaster level proficiency mostly in the way they fight with their weapon.
wei qi also had a grand master level proficiency in a weapon but his past has left him with a zither . So he practiced music for 50 years till it reached mastery and couldn't improve on it. you might think 50 years is a long time but its the shortest time he achieved to master a skill.
cultivation does not mean you only have to fight with a sword or fist or shouting random bullsh*t technique names .. cultivation meaning is to reach the pinnacle of life or layman's term immortality through mystical arts.
you dont have to be a fighter to learn mystic arts but most prefer as a mean to self defence so they also choose skills compatible with their cultivation art.
As jie jia saw through his hesitation she said to hin before he left ," i may be a horrible teacher and a bad influence on you but remember three things . No,1- a teacher not only teaches his/her students but also learns from them, No,2- a teacher holds a hand _opens a mind_ and touches a heart of student, No,3- the fact that you r worrying how to be a good teacher means you are already on your way to be one. I don't want you to be the BEST teacher but i want you to be a GOOD teacher. so stop hesitating and just go with the flow".
Wei qi 's cold face showed a smile as he turned towards his teacher and bowed in a heart felt gratitude. Now he knew although her master deemed herself as a horrible teacher but he knew she was the best for him as she saw through his hearts hesitation. he said to himself," i may not become the great or the best or the good teacher but i want to be a reliable teacher .
as he raises his head with a heart felt smile his master also smiles back and said, " Haven't seen that smile since 50 years , with that sad face u looked like a 1000 year old snow metal but now u look like warm ray of sunshine in the morning.Black hair , starry grey eyes , two long hair bangs on both side , the jade hair pin to to hold the hair, symmetric nose , perfect jawline .. u look like a lady killer. the scar(alien vs predator movie mark but like sword cut) on the cheek makes you more handsome ."
"master you are not encouraging you are embarrassing me."
"its my privilege as your master".
"ok now to the apprentice competition
is about to start everyone will be there, if u dont go now you will be late. and after competition tell uncle chen i will be taking some of his booze when i go on his required mission . REMEMBER AFTER THE COMPETITION NOT ONE BIT BEFORE ".
the young man face palmed and replied," yes i will",
then the youth fly towards the apprentice recruient ceremony.
