NOVEL SIMPLE Chapter 244.2
“Senior, who are your two disciples? Can you tell me?” Mo Yuyan asked with feigned curiosity, pricking up her ears. Once she knew the identities of these two disciples, she could deduce the senior’s identity.
“I’ll tell you once you become a Grandmaster!”
Mo Yuyan: “…”
“Mo Yuyan, you are very talented. Are you interested in becoming my third disciple? If you follow me and learn under my guidance, I guarantee that you will advance to the realm of Grandmaster within five years!”
Any martial artist would be thrilled at such an offer.
After all, how many Grandmasters are there in the world?
Each Grandmaster is a revered figure; who wouldn’t want to become such a paramount person?
For some reason, Mo Yuyan blurted out, “I… no!”
“Why?” came the puzzled voice.
Mo Yuyan took a deep breath and, with a somewhat awkward tone, bowed and said, “Thank you for your kind offer, Senior! I have never taken a master in my life, and I would prefer to forge my own path!”After a pause, she asked, “Senior, if I don’t become your disciple, does that mean you won’t teach me?”
“That’s not the case! Although you are not my disciple, you still do tasks for me, so I will still teach you!”
Mo Yuyan’s face lit up with a smile: “Thank you, Senior!”
Then, Mo Yuyan began to learn martial arts from the Senior.
She found that the senior was really knowledgeable. No matter what question she asked, he could respond fluently and incisively, enlightening her.
At the same time, her martial arts skills improved rapidly!
She was filled with admiration. It was no wonder he could train a Grandmaster!
Days passed by uneventfully.
Mo Yuyan suddenly found that such days were not bad at all.
Without the need to deal with the outside world’s chaos and deceit, she could focus solely on learning martial arts, making little progress every day, plain yet fulfilling.
After taking her revenge, retiring to a quiet life in the countryside might be nice.
Of course, it would be better if there was someone to share it with. After all, a woman should have a place to belong.
At that moment, she couldn’t help but think of the senior.
Although she had never seen him and didn’t know who he was, he had saved her in a time of crisis and taught her martial arts, giving her hope for revenge.
His image was already etched in her heart.
The cliche of a hero saving a beauty in distress might be overdone, but it was incredibly effective.
How wonderful it would be to stay with the senior forever!
Thinking of this, her cheeks turned slightly red, and she couldn’t help but call out, “Senior…”
“What is it? Have you encountered another problem you don’t understand?” came the familiar voice.
“I’m a bit bored and would like to chat with you to pass the time. Do you have a moment, Senior?” Mo Yuyan asked tentatively.
Lin Beifan happened to be in the mood: “What would you like to talk about?”
“Senior, you have such profound insights into martial arts, and you’ve taken a Grandmaster as a disciple, so you must not be young! I’m very curious. How old are you this year… if you don’t mind telling me?”
“Don’t ask a man about his age. A man remains a youth until his death!”
Mo Yuyan was dumbfounded and then burst into laughter.
She had never expected such a playful answer from the senior. It caught her completely off guard!
The senior was a bit mischievous!
Life with such a person must never be lonely, right?
Her mind began to wander with all sorts of wild thoughts. It seemed like the senior’s age being a bit older wasn’t really an issue!
After all, Grandmasters live much longer lives, easily surpassing 150 years. So what’s a few decades of difference, really?
“Senior, have you taken a wife and had children?” Mo Yuyan asked again.
A voice replied, “I’ve married quite a few times already!”
Mo Yuyan’s expression dimmed slightly.
Indeed, the senior was of a certain age; how could he not have married and had children?
Perhaps he even had great-grandchildren by now!
Still, she felt that age wasn’t an issue.
Which capable man didn’t have multiple wives and concubines?
For an exceptional man like the senior, it was quite normal to have a few wives.
All she wanted to ask now was: Senior, would you mind having one more?
“As for children, I don’t have any yet!” the voice came again.
Mo Yuyan was stunned, “Senior, why don’t you have any children?”
“Because my wives are quite young, we’ve been married for less than three years. How could we have children already?”
“Young wives… and married for less than three years?”
Mo Yuyan was taken aback and said earnestly, “Senior, although most women in this world are good, there are still many who are vain and eager to take shortcuts in life! So, senior, your wives might be after your power, and you must be careful not to fall for their schemes!”
“You’re mistaken. Actually, they’re quite superficial. They’re just after my looks! Up to now, they still don’t know about my martial arts skills!” There was a hint of pride in his tone.
“So that’s how it is!” Mo Yuyan murmured to herself.
At this point, she had imagined the senior as a high-level individual who concealed his skills and played with the mortal world.
Moreover, despite his age, he must still be handsome and imposing, or how else could he attract so many young girls?
Thinking this, Mo Yuyan felt a secret joy in her heart.
It was certainly a happy thing that the person she liked was good-looking.
And since the senior didn’t have children, maybe she could bear one for him?
With that thought, her cheeks flushed.
“Senior, what are your hobbies? What do you enjoy doing most in your free time?” Mo Yuyan asked somewhat awkwardly, brushing her hair aside, hoping to find more common ground.
“My hobbies are quite diverse…”
And so the question and answer session continued for the duration of half an incense stick.
Finally, Mo Yuyan showed her true colors and asked the question she had been hiding for a long time: “Senior, what kind of girl do you like the most? Is it a well-educated and refined lady or a heroic and valiant female knight who roams the rivers and lakes?”
As long as she knew what kind of woman the senior liked, she could quietly change in that direction to make him like her.
“This…” The voice hesitated.
Seeing that the other party was slow to respond, Mo Yuyan thought to herself that the senior probably didn’t like either type of woman, so she asked again, “Then, senior, do you like a seductive enchantress with many charms or noble and pure girls like a princess or a saint?”
“This…” The voice still hesitated.
Mo Yuyan understood. The senior didn’t like these types of women either.
“Senior, do you like a lively and cute, sensible girl next door or a thrifty and diligent woman?”
“This…”
She still couldn’t get any answers after going around in circles with her questions.
Mo Yuyan was feeling somewhat desperate!
Senior, oh senior, I just wanted to know what kind of girl you like. Is that question really so difficult?
It was at this moment that the senior’s belated answer finally arrived.
“Well… I have difficulty making choices. Can I have all of them..?”
Mo Yuyan: “…”
