Lin Yi corrected him unhappily, "That's absolutely wrong!"
His expression softened. "She's just still angry from back then, and she's a little too proud to admit it."
Lin Shu lowered her head and remained silent for a while. "Dad, I won't go home for now. I'll wait a little longer."
Lin Yi frowned deeply. "Still waiting? Until how long?"
"If nothing unexpected happens, I will bring Xiao Mo back in three years."
After saying that, Lin Shu seemed to have thought of something else and added, "It's also possible that it will be brought forward, but the possibility is very small."
Seeing this, the man in the blue robe coughed and said, "I say, can you two, father and daughter, show a little more excitement after not seeing each other for so many years? Why do you always make the atmosphere so silent?"
As he spoke, his gaze fell on An Youyu. "Little sister, I see you are a rare martial arts prodigy. Would you like to learn martial arts from me?"
This single sentence left everyone present bewildered, including Shi Zhao, who was guarding the entrance to the living room.
Learn martial arts?
Chapter 187 To Accept or Not to Accept?
Learn martial arts?
An Youyu blinked blankly, then turned to look at Lin Shu, her eyes filled with confusion.
Lin Shu glared at the man in the blue robe, annoyed. "What are you doing?"
"What are you doing?"
The man in the blue robe shrugged. "Isn't it obvious what I mean? I'm taking on a disciple!"
"no!"
Lin Shu shook his head and refused without even thinking.
The man in the blue robe wasn't in a hurry. "Xiao Shu, please understand one thing. I'm not asking you, I'm asking this little girl. You're not her guardian. She's not worried, so why are you?"
"you……"
Lin Shu's chest heaved, her tone carrying a clear warning, "I said no, and that's final. Don't even think about it!"
The man in the blue robe didn't seem to care, raising an eyebrow at An Youyu. "Think about it?"
"No."
An Youyu shook her head slightly, "I have no interest in learning martial arts, thank you for your kindness."
Seeing that he was rejected, the man in the blue robe became anxious, "Little sister, you may not know who I am. My name is Duan Ya. Looking at the world, there are countless people who want to become my disciples, but you..."
"I have no interest in learning martial arts."
Before Duan Ya could finish speaking, An Youyu repeated what she had just said.
The cliff was dumbfounded.
For the first time in his life, he considered taking on an apprentice, but the person didn't even consider it.
"Don't reject me so quickly, think about it some more."
"Don't think about it."
An Youyu smiled apologetically, "Thank you again for your kindness, but I really don't want to learn martial arts."
Lin Yi narrowed his eyes to slits and slowly said, "Duanya, didn't you say you didn't accept disciples?"
Over the years, countless members of the Lin family's core staff have wanted to become Duan Ya's disciples, but without exception, they have all been rejected by Duan Ya.
Even the second young lady, Ke Xue, was on the list of those rejected.
Duan Ya replied casually, "We didn't accept them before."
"When did the collection begin?"
"When I met this little girl."
This answer made Lin Yi, who knew Duan Ya, even more curious. He was well aware of Duan Ya's identity, and it was strange in itself that such a being could change his mind.
Is there anything different about this little girl?
"She's good-looking."
"..."
Lin Yi's white beard trembled slightly. "Besides this reason?"
Duan Ya fell silent, a rare occurrence. After a few seconds, he looked up at An Youyu and asked, "Little girl, may I take your pulse?"
"No."
An Youyu softly refused, "Uncle Duan, there is a difference between men and women."
The statement about the difference between men and women made Duan Ya very embarrassed. "It was just taking a pulse; there was no other physical contact."
"No."
An Youyu refused quite decisively.
Even Lin Shu was quite surprised by this, and as he was surprised, the corners of his mouth unconsciously curled up.
"cough--"
Duan Ya opened his mouth, but when he met the girl's pure and innocent gaze, he swallowed back the words that were on the tip of his tongue.
Lin Shu smiled and said, "Uncle Duan, I need your help with something. Is that alright?"
Instantly, Duan Ya's face turned black at a visible speed. He held up a middle finger at Lin Shu and said, "Little Shu, you've successfully earned your son a beating. Don't worry, I never lie. If I say I'll beat him, I really will."
Lin Shu then realized she had misspoke. "No, no, it was a slip of the tongue. Cliff, can I call you by your name?"
"Call me brother!"
"Brother Duan."
Lin Shu rubbed his forehead, looking quite helpless.
Duan Ya nodded in satisfaction. "That's more like it. When you ask someone for a favor, you should ask for their attitude. Don't be so disrespectful and have no manners at all."
Lin Shu didn't take Duan Ya's complaints to heart. She was too lazy to beat around the bush and went straight to the point: "I didn't originally plan to ask you about this, but since you've started making an exception to take on disciples, you're the most suitable candidate."
Upon hearing this, Duan Ya instantly understood why Lin Shu had asked him for something. Just as he was about to refuse, Lin Shu's voice continued to ring out.
“My son wants to learn martial arts, and we just happen to need a teacher, so you’re the one.”
After speaking, Lin Shu looked at her father across from her questioningly, "Is it alright?"
"can."
Although Lin Yi didn't know why his daughter wanted his grandson to learn martial arts, he didn't bother to find out.
Hearing the conversation between the father and daughter, Duan Ya suddenly exploded, "Did I agree to that?"
Lin Shu gave her father a subtle look, as if to say, "You handle this guy."
The familiar sense of dependence made Lin Yi feel a surge of warmth. He stroked his beard and smiled, "Duanya, I haven't asked you for anything all these years. Can you give this old man some face?"
"I don't accept apprentices!"
No sooner had Duan Ya finished speaking than Lin Yi's voice followed, "You often say you want to repay the kindness of me saving your wife back then, so help me this time. After this, you won't owe me anything anymore."
"I'll say it again, I don't accept apprentices!"
Duan Ya gave the same answer as always. After he finished speaking, he pointed at An Youyu and said, "No one is qualified to become my disciple except for this girl."
He will not compromise on the matter of accepting apprentices.
Seeing that Duan Ya was so determined to refuse, Lin Yi had no choice but to give his daughter a helpless look.
Lin Shu looked indignant. "Duan Ya... Brother Duan, we've known each other for years, and this is the first time I've ever asked you for a favor. Can't you give me a little face?"
Duan Ya looked troubled. "Xiao Shu, it's not that I don't want to help you. I wouldn't say a word about anything else, but taking on a disciple is really not an option."
"Why can't I take on apprentices?"
Lin Shu looked puzzled. "Give me a reason."
Duanya truthfully told him, "My martial arts have extremely high requirements for aptitude. Ordinary people simply cannot learn them. Forcing oneself to learn them will result in backlash and may even endanger one's life."
He thought Lin Shu would understand, but to his surprise, after hearing his explanation, Lin Shu retorted, "How do you know my son isn't qualified? Have you even met him?"
cliff:"……"
Does it matter whether you've seen them before or not?
Just then, Shi Zhao came up behind Lin Yi and leaned down to whisper.
Lin Yi's expression darkened. "Xiao Shu, Dad has to go. There are some things I need to take care of. I'll come to see you in Jingchuan when I have time."
"it is good."
Lin Shu was about to get up to see him off when her father waved his hand, "Don't see me off. You should think about how to persuade Duan Ya to take Xiao Mo as your disciple."
After saying that, he led Shi Zhao away in a long stride.
Now, only Lin Shu, Duan Ya, and An Youyu remained in the living room.
An Youyu rested her chin on her hand, remaining silent as she watched Lin Shu and Duan Ya stare at each other.
After a while, Duanya shook his head and sighed, "Stop looking at it, don't your eyes get tired?"
Lin Shu's smile faded as she asked again, "So... to accept or not to accept?"
Actually, she didn't want to do this either; her actions were somewhat coerced.
Can……
For my son's sake, I'll be shameless!
Chapter 188 You're a good person!
"Xiao Shu, how about we change our request?"
Duanya smiled bitterly; if anyone who knew him were here, they would find it hard to believe.
This man was known for his ruthless killings, but now...
