It was true that Alex was neglecting a major part of what it meant to be a master. He needed to stay and teach his disciple, set a significant portion of his life to depart his knowledge onto her. But, he couldn't do it. 

He didn't have the luxury.

"I'm sorry, but I need to focus on the pill I am supposed to make more than I can on teaching you for now," Alex said.

His words caused Momo to feel even more dejected. "I… I understand, master."

Alex could see that she didn't like it, but he couldn't help it. He sighed and patted her head a little. "Don't worry, even though I will be gone for long. I will have someone coming very soon to teach you about everything else. He is one of the best teachers around besides me."

"Oh!" Momo looked up to meet his eyes. "Who?"

"It's a secret for now, but he's coming very soon," Alex said. He got up. "For now, you focus on those three techniques and cultivation. And don't push yourself too hard."
