My Lady Always Lacks Ambition

Qin Liuxi spent another day with her two apprentices and Chen Pi, addressing all matters related to the shop, prepared commonly needed medicines, and easily handled the various talismans which were set up for sale by herself, alongside some talisman plates. The simple registered peace charms were already made, and some more complex ones were still in production.

"Talismans and the like, practice well. Each of you take a notebook and start with the peace charm," Qin Liuxi threw a notebook to each of her apprentices and said, "I’ll teach this talisman once, feel it out by yourselves, and learn gradually."

Chen Pi, looking at the two children whose combined ages hardly matched his own, said, "Master, they don’t even know how to perform energy induction yet. Isn’t it too early for them to learn how to draw talismans?"

"What’s early?" Qin Liuxi looked at the two children staring at her and said, "When I became a disciple at five, everything in the master’s teachings was done simultaneously: cultivation, talisman drawing, reciting scriptures, identifying medicinal herbs, memorizing medical scriptures, mapping human meridians, arrays, all mixed together in learning."

Corner of Chen Pi’s mouth twitched, looking towards Teng Zhao and others, having such an all-around master is both fortunate and unfortunate; you guys have a lot to endure.

He sympathized even more with Wang Chuan, unable to resist saying, "Although, Master, Xuanxin is only five years old, and I see she hardly recognizes a few characters."

Qin Liuxi looked towards Wang Chuan, considering her origins and young age, indeed she wouldn’t recognize many characters, which is a bit problematic.

However, isn’t the point of having disciples to help each other out?

"In our master’s school, we value unity. It’s fine to have internal disputes and disagreements, but externally we must be united. Anyone who bullies a fellow disciple, don’t ask others, be the first to roll up your sleeves and help, and you can slowly reason when you are back indoors," Qin Liuxi looked at Teng Zhao and said, "Given the principle of mutual assistance, Zhaozhao, the matter of teaching your younger sister to recognize characters falls on you as the eldest disciple."

Teng Zhao, who was mentally setting up a study schedule according to what Qin Liuxi just mentioned: "?"

So, he has to add the task of acting as a little tutor?

Thinking of the signboard that had just finished drying, Teng Zhao’s little face grew even gloomier, with so many things to handle.
