“Ancient One, please forgive me for not being able to become your disciple. However, if you need my help in the future, you can come directly to me,” Ger replied after a moment’s consideration.
The Ancient One had anticipated this, so her face remained expressionless.
After a moment, the Ancient One continued, "I see that you have your own methods for teaching your younger siblings. I have a few disciples with wicked intentions, and I have been trying to guide them onto the right path, but the results don't seem to be very good. If possible, I hope you can help me teach them, which can also be considered a condition for you to use the Time Stone."
Ger hadn't expected this condition at all, but it didn't sound too difficult: "May I ask which disciples it is?"
The Ancient One blinked: "You stay here, you'll see."
Gel was taken aback by the Ancient One's seemingly mundane expression. After a moment's surprise, he scratched his head and asked, "So, if they misbehave, can we beat them up?"
Gel wasn't really planning to beat her up; he was just testing the Ancient One's attitude.
The Ancient One smiled and said, "As long as you don't kill me, you can do whatever you want with me. By the way, I won't give you any overt support."

Gel felt he couldn't understand a word the Ancient One was saying. After a moment's thought, he asked, "Does this mean I don't need to train your disciples first before I can use the Time Stone?"
The Ancient One said with a smirk, "If you want to wait that long, that's fine too."
Gel immediately changed his tune: "Of course I don't want to wait that long, I want to use the Time Stone right now."
Look at what a master's demeanor is, what it means to be fearless and confident—this is it!
The Ancient One was not worried at all about going back on her word.
The Ancient One stood up and led Gale out of the room: "The Time Stone is an important tool to help me resist the dark forces. I'm worried that when the Time Stone is used, it will attract the attention of the dark forces, so I need to make some preparations, which will probably take two days."
