He frowned, "Does your Master know about this?"
Qin Yu: "Yes, he knows. After he returned, he assessed the progress of my cultivation."
Elder: "Choosing you seems not to have been an impulsive decision."
Qin Yu's gaze subtly shifted as he gently smiled, "Back then, I too was perplexed as to why Master chose me since I wasn't particularly outstanding. It was only many years later that I understood."
Elder: "Understood what?"
Qin Yu: "I can endure hardships better than others."
Elder: "..."

No peak master chooses their disciples simply because they can endure hardship; it's not as if they're contractors looking for laborers.
But... perhaps there's no knack to it after all.

Jiaojiao felt somewhat uneasy, fearing the old man might resort to violence if his questioning failed...
"Gudao Peak is no ordinary peak."
"Peak Master Gu Chen is no ordinary master."
