Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon

Why did Li Mu Bai have such a strong desire to teach Jen?

Li Mu Bai is impressed by Jen's ability to teach herself, and he wants to teach her more of what her know to further develop her skills. He fights her and sees that she is a skilled warrior, but she needs guidance. Li Mu Bai notices that Jen values the sword more than her skill set. He wants to teach her that being a good warrior is not in the sword, but it is in the person. He does this when he throws Green Destiny in the river. He wants to show Jen that she does not need the sword. She goes after it and almost drowns trying to get it. Jen's only guidance was Jade Fox, and Li Mu Bai wants to give her a better influence. Jen is too young and inexperienced to accept Li Mu Bai's teachings. He wants to give her the knowledge and experience for her to become as great as he is.
