Regarding his disciple, Pei Xuanjing admitted that when he first accepted him, there was a hint of pity involved.
Because when he saw that matured youngster at the Martial Academy, he seemingly saw himself in his younger times, hence his compassion was aroused.
So, everything that followed — his meticulous nurturing, and earnest teachings — happened because of this.
However, Pei Xuanjing has now found that his disciple is possibly taking things a little too seriously. Although it may not be discernible now, when he reaches the stage of cultivation in the future, this may turn into his obsession, his demon.
"To express gratitude is a principle I've learned since I was a child. The master has been merciful to me, without your teachings and nurturing, I wouldn't have been here today." Pang Hong shook his head and said, "I don't think this is an obsession or a demon, it's my principle for living, unchangeable no matter what, and I won't regret it even if it kills me."
