Ruan Qing was shocked and in disbelief, "Why? You said before–"
He interrupted her, "Right now, if you cultivate you will have obsessions. The further your cultivation, the harder it is to let your obsessions go."
He continued, "There are those that use their obsessions to cultivate and reach high levels of cultivation, but in the end they all end up the same–dying to their obsession! I don't need and don't want a disciple like that."
"Then am I supposed to be this powerless? To not be able to do anything as my village was burned to the ground, my mother taken hostage, and the wounds inflicted on me as nothing more than a scratch!?"
She looked at the ground in defeat and agony.
"...." Li Xing said nothing for a while.
If I let her go cultivate on her own, with such hatred, she'll harm herself and others. Who knows what she'll do.
Although I don't want a disciple of this nature...Letting her run amok may bring even greater consequences.
I can't be considered as a saint and I don't care what happens to the three realms. However, I made a promise.
And quiet honestly...I don't want her to go down the same path as Junior sister.
He sighed and spoke again, "I can accept you as a disciple on three conditions."
She looked up to Li Xing paying close attention.
"Never kill the innocent, never become a heavenly or demonic court official, and never lose sight of yourself."
Right now, Ruan Qing would agree with any condition. She felt a relief that these conditions weren't inhumane.
Li Xing nodded, "No need for any formalities, we need to attend to your injuries as fast as we can."
"Okay, Li...Master."
Li Xing hearing the words master felt a tinge of sadness. He nodded and hummed in acknowledgment.
