The Heavens begin by inheriting their grandfather's cheat ability

Chapter 20 If you don't perform well, my Snow Mountain Sect will not tolerate you.

Hua Wanzi stopped in her tracks, but she really didn't call out to Shi Zhongyu.

Feng Wanli and the others in the side hall looked at each other, unsure of what to say.

Shi Xiaocui ignored the people in the side hall and looked at Cheng Zixue instead.

"Elder, it's still early. Please continue. I can sit here and listen."

As she spoke, she waved to Feng Wanli and Hua Wanzi.

"You all go back to your seats!"

Feng Wanli and Hua Wanzi obediently went back.

Cheng Zixue's lips moved slightly, but he eventually sat back down obediently.

Under Shi Xiaocui's authority, no one dared to disobey.

Bai Wanjian then had a stool brought to his mother.

Bai Axiu helped her grandmother sit down.

Once everything was ready, Cheng Zixue began explaining the principles of swordsmanship again...

Time passed slowly.

Standing next to Shi Xiaocui, Bai Axiu kept glancing at Shi Zhongyu, who was practicing his martial arts.

Her eyes were filled with curiosity.

Is this Brother Shi some kind of stone? After all that commotion, he was still able to sit there and practice his skills.

Shi Zhongyu did hear the sounds outside, but he wouldn't stop practicing as long as no one disturbed him.

Unless it's time.

Half an hour passed in the blink of an eye.

The jade in the stone has already completed a small cycle.

Bai Axiu noticed that Shi Zhongyu's eyelids twitched. She was about to remind her grandmother when she discovered that Shi Zhongyu had resumed practicing his martial arts.

"That kid is a real freak."

Bai Axiu did not speak.

These words were spoken by Shi Xiaocui.

She was also keeping an eye on Shi Zhongyu.

Not only Shi Xiaocui, but everyone else's gaze also swept over Shi Zhongyu, intentionally or unintentionally.

They discovered that this kid was truly an oddball.

He was able to practice his skills even without anyone shouting at him.

Bai Axiu wholeheartedly agreed with her grandmother's words.

However, she found it somewhat strange.

"Grandma, isn't our sect's cultivation method supposed to limit disciples' time in the long run?"

"How can he keep practicing like this?"

Shi Xiaocui observed Shi Zhongyu's condition and said softly, "Some people can't even endure a little hardship, while others find joy in it."

"Grandma, do you mean this stone brother is a masochist?"

Shi Xiaocui looked at her innocent and carefree granddaughter and shook her head helplessly.

She affectionately patted her granddaughter's head.

"Some people can endure the hardships they face now because they have bigger goals."

"Compared to the goal I want to achieve, the current hardships are nothing."

Was my grandfather like that back then?

"Your grandfather?"

When Shi Xiaocui heard Bai Axiu mention Bai Zizai, she pursed her lips.

"Your grandfather is a megalomaniac, and he's getting more and more arrogant."

"I reckon in a few years, they'll definitely become arrogant and disrespectful."

Bai Axiu stuck out her tongue and dared not say any more.

Another half hour passed.

A bell rang out.

Around this time, Shi Zhongyu also completed a small circulation of Qi.

"Effective practice, mental cultivation experience +4."

Shi Zhongyu exhaled and opened his eyes.

Then he met Bai Axiu's innocent and childlike gaze.

He paused for a moment, then noticed the old lady sitting next to Bai Axiu.

Before Shi Zhongyu could speak, the old lady looked at him with a smile.

"Kid, how's it going with your training?"

While guessing the old lady's identity, Shi Zhongyu replied, "Comfortable! Feeling the internal energy in my dantian gradually increase, there's nothing more comfortable than this."

Shi Xiaocui's face showed surprise.

"Oh, you can sense the increase in internal energy in your dantian?"

Shi Zhongyu nodded.

"Yes! With each cycle of the body's energy circulation, I can feel the growth of internal energy within me. Although it is slow, it is constantly increasing."

Shi Xiaocui looked Shi Zhongyu up and down.

"Alright, enough with the nonsense. Show me a set of palm techniques!"

Shi Zhongyu looked embarrassed upon hearing this.

"Reporting to Madam, this disciple has not yet learned the palm technique!"

"Didn't you learn it?"

Shi Xiaocui looked at Feng Wanli.

Feng Wanli quickly said, "Master's wife, this boy has only been a disciple for three days, and I haven't had time to teach him the palm techniques yet."

Shi Xiaocui suddenly realized that she had forgotten.

She hummed in agreement.

"Boy, do you know that your master and Elder Cheng have argued because of you?"

Shi Zhongyu replied honestly, "This disciple knows, but this disciple only has respect for Elder Chang, and has no intention of disrespecting him in the slightest."

Upon hearing this, Cheng Zixue angrily retorted, "You respect me, yet you were cultivating while I was speaking?"

"Reporting to Elder, if you could continue to explain the basic principles of swordsmanship to me, I absolutely, positively will not need to practice any other techniques!"

The old man, enraged to the extreme, laughed.

"Who do you think you are, kid? You expect me to keep lecturing you on the basics of swordsmanship!"

Shi Zhongyu respectfully replied, "Reporting to the Elder, this disciple is a disciple of the Snow Mountain Sect!"

puff!

When Bai Axiu saw the honest Shi Zhongyu, she couldn't help but laugh out loud.

In the side hall, none of the others had Bai Axiu's abilities, so they dared not laugh.

When the elder saw Shi Zhongyu pretending to be ignorant, he was so angry that his chest heaved.

He wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say.

This kid... you could say he's shrewd, but he looks like he's very honest.

Let's say he's honest!

Those words, however, could choke someone to death!

"cough!"

Shi Xiaocui coughed lightly at this moment.

"Jade in Stone".

"Disciple is here."

Seeing Shi Zhongyu's upright attitude, Shi Xiaocui said calmly, "Ultimately, it's because of you that your master and Elder Cheng are at odds!"

"This matter cannot be left unresolved."

Shi Zhongyu listened obediently without saying a word.

Shi Xiaocui looked at Cheng Zixue and Feng Wanli.

"How about I handle this?"

Feng Wanli immediately replied, "Please let Master's wife decide!"

Cheng Zixue hesitated for a moment, but finally said, "It's up to the sect leader's wife to decide everything."

Shi Xiaocui nodded slightly.

"very good."

"I heard about this kid when I came here."

"In short, this kid was in the wrong."

"However, it's understandable if it's for the sake of practicing martial arts."

Cheng Zixue was furious. It was all this kid's fault. What other excuses could there be?

However, he had already said that he would hand over all authority to the other party, so he couldn't say anything.

Shi Xiaocui's gaze swept over Cheng Zixue.

"I remember the small comparison was after ten and a half days, right?"

Cheng Zixue nodded.

"Yes."

Shi Xiaocui hummed in agreement.

"With this kid practicing so hard, his skill level should improve by then."

"When the time comes, find one or two disciples to give him some pointers."

"If he doesn't perform well, our Snow Mountain Sect might as well not have a disciple like him!"

Feng Wanli, Bai Wanjian, and the others were startled.

Before they could even speak, Cheng Zixue happily agreed.

"Sister-in-law is right!"

"Junior brother will definitely do as his sister-in-law says."

Upon hearing this, Shi Xiaocui waved her hand at Cheng Zixue.

"Don't be in such a hurry."

Cheng Zixue's heart skipped a beat.

Shi Xiaocui said calmly, "This kid has only learned the basic sword techniques, not any others. So when you need to find a disciple to instruct him, only those who have learned the basic sword techniques will be allowed!"

"If a disciple learns all seventy-two forms, wouldn't that be considered bullying him?"

Cheng Zixue breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Shi Xiaocui say this.

He quickly expressed his opinion.

"Don't worry, Sister-in-law, Junior Brother will definitely not let a disciple who has learned the Seventy-Two Forms of Swordplay instruct this boy."

Shi Xiaocui hummed in agreement again, then looked at Shi Zhongyu and, without waiting for his response, said in a deep voice, "Kid, it's settled then!"

"If you can't satisfy everyone during the competition, then please go back to where you came from!"
