No, you wouldn't, [ she repeats with a softer tone, quieter — she rarely refers to events that those here have gone through, but she does know all of it... and it's likely not a terrible surprise that she approves of much of wei wuxian's actions back in his home. ]

I think any young disciple would be lucky, to have such a good teacher. [ is she stalling? maybe, but eventually she sighs. ]

Ever since I was young, my parents wanted me to follow them into politics. It's customary in our world that the current mayor takes on an apprentice, who eventually succeeds them. [ dryly: ] I think that went a little differently for my father than he expected it to.

[Though it hasn't dimmed his love for teaching (especially teaching young ones) he'll always feel responsible for not being able to save the Yunmeng disciples from their fate. He isn't sure "good teacher" applies to him. He bows his head at the compliment and then moves on without response.

From the sounds of it, politics isn't what she wanted to do, though he supposes sometimes when the choice is out of your hands, it's more harmful than helpful to wonder at anything else. Not that she'd ended up following that path anyway.
