Chapter 1383 Though living in the martial world, my mother dislikes fighting and killing.
Both Shen Linsu and she were well-known in the martial arts world, so any news about them would spread quickly. Once Xu Shan found out, he would definitely rush over without stopping.
“The martial world is not very peaceful these days, especially with Brother Xu’s appearance. Your family may be in danger at any time, so be careful,” Shen Linsu said, while taking out a jade pendant. “This is a token of Peach Blossom Manor. If you encounter any problems that you cannot solve, take this and go to a shop with the same mark. The people there will help you.”
Seeing that Yi Xiaolan didn't take it, he directly stuffed it into her hand and said with a smile, "If it weren't for your porridge back then, I probably would have had to beg for food, and I would probably have been beaten by other beggars."
Before Yi Xiaolan could refuse, he turned and left.
By the time Yi Xiaolan came to her senses, he was already gone.
She stood there, stroking the special jade pendant, her eyes lowered, lost in thought.
"Mother, what are you doing here?" At this moment, Azhen walked up from behind.
The appearance of Azhen startled Yi Xiaolan, and she panicked, quickly hiding the jade pendant in her sleeve.
She felt a little guilty even though she hadn't done anything wrong.
She stared at Azhen, wondering: What did her daughter hear and see?
"Why did you come here without a word? You startled your mother."
"I saw Mother standing here alone, lost in thought. Mother, are you feeling unwell?" Azhen asked.
There's nothing between Yi Xiaolan and Shen Linsu now, why would she expose them?
Her adoptive mother's heart has already gone to Shen Linsu, so it's probably unlikely that she'll be able to spend her whole life with her adoptive father.
If Shen Linsu truly didn't want any entanglement with Yi Xiaolan, he wouldn't have brought up the events of that year, nor would he have sent the token from Peach Blossom Manor.
So, were those two corpses prepared by Shen Linsu? Was it to completely confirm that Xu Shan and his daughter were dead, so that Yi Xiaolan would accept the fact and then accept him?
In the original storyline, after Shen Linsu met Yi Xiaolan, he became increasingly proactive and catered to her every whim. After their marriage, everyone could see how much he cared for Yi Xiaolan.
The fact that the two of them were together truly became a beautiful story in the martial arts world.
Yi Xiaolan breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing Azhen's words; it seemed her daughter hadn't seen anything.
"Mother is thinking that once we leave here and reach the Yan family, we will probably live in fear again," Yi Xiaolan said. "As long as the Heaven-Asking Blade is in our hands, our family will be unable to avoid being involved in conflicts. I don't know when we will be able to live a peaceful and stable life."
"Mother, don't worry. I will practice martial arts diligently. As long as I am strong enough, I can drive away any number of people who come. In time, no one will dare to disturb our family's life," Azhen replied.
In fact, Yi Xiaolan did not like her clients practicing martial arts.
I've always felt that it's better for daughters to be gentler. Fortunately, the client enjoys martial arts, and Xu Shan, the father, isn't truly foolish; of course, he wouldn't listen to Yi Xiaolan on such matters. Besides, he only has one daughter, and there's no reason for the family's swordsmanship to be passed down only to disciples and not to his own daughter.
Besides, the client's talent is quite remarkable; Chu Yanzhi is far inferior to her.
“You’re still young, and martial arts training isn’t something that can be done overnight. How can you possibly grow into one of the top martial artists in the world in such a short time?” Yi Xiaolan shook her head, only laughing at Azhen’s naivety.
"I think Zhen'er has quite a talent." Shen Linsu's voice came from not far away again. "She will definitely become a martial arts master in the future."
Yi Xiaolan suddenly looked up and realized that Shen Linsu hadn't come alone this time; Xu Shan and Yan Rugo were with him. Clearly, they had met together and happened to be heading in this direction.
“Everyone in the martial arts world knows that Zhen’er is excellent at lightness skills. If she can master lightness skills, she must be good in other areas as well. She just needs time to grow.” Yan Rugo chimed in, “I’m particularly envious of Brother Xu. Your daughter has such great talent, and the disciples she’s taken in are even more talented.” “Brother Yan, don’t envy me. Your Yan Qing is no slouch either. Whether it’s martial arts talent or business talent, he’s top-notch.” Xu Shan also praised.
"Don't bite off more than you can chew. This kid says he likes martial arts and business, and I'm really afraid he won't learn anything well," Yan Rugo said.
“It’s not much. Yan Qing is smart, he’ll definitely learn well. Brother Yan, as his father, you should trust him more. Otherwise, Yan Qing will probably be upset if he knows you doubt his abilities,” Xu Shan said.
Yan Rugo laughed in exasperation: "This kid has a thick skin, he won't be sad at all."
“The one who should be envious is me,” Shen Linsu said at this moment. “My Miaomiao is indeed a little lacking in natural talent, but fortunately she still has some strengths. Her medical skills and array mechanisms are quite good, otherwise I would really be worried.”
"That's not bad either," Yi Xiaolan added, "Peach Blossom Manor is isolated from the martial world, so Miaomiao's strengths are most suitable for it."
"My martial arts skills are slightly inferior, so I still hope to take on a disciple to pass on what I have learned. Also, I hope to keep Miaomiao company," Shen Linsu said, his gaze fixed on Azhen.
Azhen understood now; Shen Linsu wanted to take her as his disciple.
Given her displayed talent, it's not surprising that martial arts masters would want to take her as a disciple. However, if that person is Shen Linsu, one has to consider whether he has other motives.
"Zhen'er, I wonder if you would approve of Uncle Shen's martial arts skills?" Shen Linsu asked directly, smiling at Zhen'er. "If you do, how about becoming Uncle Shen's disciple?"
Xu Shan paused for a moment, but didn't interrupt. Since this experience, he believed that although his daughter was young, she had her own opinions. He would see what she had to say first.
The identity of the master of Peach Blossom Manor is advantageous to his daughter. With this identity, most people in the martial arts world will no longer dare to provoke her, providing her with more protection. Even if he were to encounter another accident one day, there would be no need to worry.
However, he felt somewhat unwilling, though he couldn't quite explain why.
Yan Rugo was surprised for a moment, and her gaze turned to Azhen.
Yi Xiaolan paused for a moment, then put her hand on Azhen's shoulder and said softly, "Why are you spacing out? Your Uncle Shen is asking you something. His martial arts skills are not simple."
You could tell she was happy to agree.
Azhen raised her head and said, "But I already have a master."
"I'm sorry, Uncle Shen."
How could she possibly become Shen Linsu's disciple? This cheapskate mother, on the other hand, is a bit too eager.
Yi Xiaolan's expression darkened, but she still kept a straight face and asked, "Zhen'er, when did you become an apprentice? Your Uncle Shen seems to be sincere. Wouldn't this be letting him down?"
After she finished speaking, she realized that something was amiss, but she didn't know how to remedy the situation.
“Wouldn’t it be disrespectful to Uncle Shen to have two masters? Besides, my master cares a lot about these things, and I can’t do anything disrespectful to him, otherwise people in the martial arts world will laugh at me.” Azhen asked, “Mother, are you angry? Uncle Shen should understand, right?”
Her gaze met Shen Linsu's again.
The atmosphere is a bit strange right now; probably only Xu Shan is unaware of what's going on. (End of Chapter)
