A disciple can also be a master.
Fang Bai once viewed a man as his father.
Yet he politely declined the man's offer of apprenticeship and joined the Inkbound Order instead.
In the Inkbound Order, he relearned his path in life, symbolizing it with a jade pendant.
They were all his masters.
A master propagates the doctrine, imparts professional knowledge, and resolves doubts.
The Inkbound Order taught him the way of the gentleman, imparted the Six Arts and martial skills, tempering his body and refining his conduct.
Emerging from hardship, he became a "jade."
The master said: All things are mere travelers; only the will must never break.
