Upon seeing Ai Hui’s stunned expression, the teacher smiled a little, but soon resumed his no-nonsense demeanor. “Don’t worry. Whether you agree or not, I will tell you everything I know and have studied. I will not conceal anything. Plus, even if you do agree, I can only review your training regimen and provide some pointers. Outside of that, I can’t help much. I am poor and do not have many connections despite having taught the basics of training for thirty years.”
He finished his last sentence somewhat self-deprecatingly.
Ai Hui felt odd. “Why are you interested in me? I have a low aptitude and am just as poor.”
“Haha.” The teacher burst out laughing. “I’ve known from the start that you have a low aptitude and are poor, but that’s okay. You don’t need much talent to understand my theories. All you need is patience and perseverance, which are qualities that I saw in you..”
Ai Hui no longer hesitated and made a respectful bow. “Your disciple pays respect, Master!”
