Chapter 679: I Have A Master Now
Gramps Ren first glanced at Ai Mi because she cursed at his granddaughter.
Ai Mi’s blonde hair, blue eyes, beautiful posture, light purple skirt, light purple stockings, she was just like a living Barbie doll.
This unrealistic perfection even stunned gramps Ren and he said in amazement: “What… what is this toy.”
He probably mistook Ai Mi as “the world’s most advanced idol robot”.
“Who, who is a toy?” Ai Mi, a tenth level Chinese speaker, knew that “toy” meant the same as “thing” and it was not a good word to describe people.
“Ah, it can also talk.” Gramps Ren pretended to be surprised in an infuriating tone.
“You…” Ai Mi learned from the conversation that the old man was Xiao Qin’s grandfather. She instinctively did not like the man, but she was held down by his aura and couldn’t move.
But at least your hiccups were cured, so congratulations.
Gramps Ren lowered his head and saw Obama being held by Ai Mi on a leash. He immediately showed a happy face and exclaimed, “This dog is quite fat, once winter comes…”
Originally Obama was already worried that Xiao Qin would slaughter him, now that Xiao Qin’s grandfather also looked at him maliciously like he was going to make dog meat hot pot, the husky quickly turned his head and ran. Ai Mi was pulled by the leash and had no choice but to follow Obama.
“You guys wait, I’ll be back.” Ai Mi turned her head in anger and shouted at Xiao Qin and gramps Ren.
Since 004 and 005, who were always protecting Ai Mi from afar, went to the rescue, I did not insist on sending Ai Mi back to the RV.
There was a much trickier situation to deal with at the moment.
Sure enough, after Ai Mi was scared away, gramps Ren turned his attention back to Xiao Qin and I. Xiao Qin stood beside me like she was a baby bird with her arms wrapped around me and looking helpless.
“Grandpa…” Xiao Qin greeted feebly, “You’ve come to see my mom, right?”
Gramps Ren nodded unconsciously as his eyes began to shift to my face. He furrowed his brows and made my heart tremble.
“I thought I was hallucinating, I did not think you were…” gramps Ren muttered to himself, then he suddenly barked at me in a stern voice: “Kneel down.”
Eh, are you… going to cripple my kung fu then expel me as a student? Is it because I seduced your granddaughter, but I did not mean to! Truthfully, it was your granddaughter who seduced me, but I think gramps Ren would be even angrier if I said that.
“Kneel down and call me master.” Gramps Ren’s had very strong lungs and once again loudly shouted.
Huh, didn’t you always say to not call you master and you won’t recognize me as a disciple? It was because the Ren family had an ancestral tradition: Yin Yang Sanshou cannot be passed to outsiders…
Do you not see me as an outsider anymore? Is it because you see Xiao Qin’s arm wrapped around me gently, so you think I am Xiao Qin’s boyfriend, the future son-in-law of the Ren family?
The timing is not right, gramps. If it was back when I desperately wanted to improve my kung fu, I would immediately kneel down and call you master. I wouldn’t hesitate even if you misunderstand that I will marry Xiao Qin in the future.
But now, on the one hand, I have already comprehended Yin Yang Sanshou’s ‘Fa Jin’ on my own, so I don’t really need any more teachings; on the other hand, I have a heart disease, even when I use Fa Jin in a healthy state, my blood would boil, so how would I practice it now?
Also, gramps, you overlooked something! You already know about the relationship between my father and Auntie Ren, so if they get married, Xiao Qin would be my step-sister. If I marry my step-sister, I would be a sister-fucker.
Wait, or is it me who overlooked it? Whether it’s my dad getting married to Auntie Ren, or me getting married to Xiao Qin, I wouldn’t be an outsider anymore, so he can safely pass on the complete version of Yin Yang Sanshou to me.
The complete version of Yin Yang Sanshou would be more than what I was able to figure out myself (such as gramps Ren’s insurance scamming skills) but unfortunately, I can’t learn it with my current physical condition.
I awkwardly tightened and relaxed my knees since I did not know if I should kneel down.
Xiao Qin felt my uneasiness and spoke on my behalf: “Grandfather, Ye Lin classmate was just rescued, so he doesn’t feel good and can’t kneel. I put my arm around him to support him. I, I’m not Ye Lin classmate’s girlfriend…”
“Hmph, so you’re too embarrassed to admit it.” Gramps Ren scratched his face, “I heard you were going after a childhood neighbor to the point of delivering yourself to his doorsteps, but I did not think it would be Ye Lin. You know that Ye Lin is learning Yin Yang Sanshou with me, right, so why did you not tell Grandpa.”
Gramps Ren was right, with Xiao Qin’s Yin Yang Sanshou skills, she would have definitely guessed that my “Hua Jin” was their family martial arts. Even Auntie Ren’s Yin Yang Sanshou skills was not as good as mine, so I could only have been taught by gramps Ren.
“I, I think…” Xiao Qin looked like she was afraid of her grandfather, “Yin Yang Sanshou is harmful to the body…”
“You don’t say!” Gramps Ren gasped, “All offensive martial arts are harmful to the human body, is there a martial art where I punch you and you get blood back?”
“No, I’m not saying that it’s harmful to others…” Xiao Qin said, “I meant practicing Yin Yang Sanshou will be bad for your own body…”
Gramps Ren frowned and asked, “How is it bad? Ye Lin practiced Yin Yang Sanshou, did he become blind or crippled?”
He said as he clapped my shoulders. I quickly stood in a steady stance and suppressed the beating of my heart.
Xiao Qin seemed heartbroken when I was patted a few times by her grandfather. She gathered up courage and said loudly to gramps Ren: “If you practice Yin Yang Sanshou, if you practice it… your legs will turn short.”
Gramps Ren’s gaze immediately fell on my legs, and my gaze unconsciously fell on gramps Ren’s legs.
Sure enough, both of our legs aren’t long. Compared to Auntie Ren and Xiao Qin, they are definitely considered short.
“Nonsense.” Gramps Ren patted his chest to calm himself down, “Yin Yang Sanshou is suitable for people with short legs and long arms to practice, but it doesn’t mean that practicing Yin Yang Sanshou will turn your legs short!”
“Didn’t you also practice with me for a while when you were a kid, but your legs didn’t turn short.”
Xiao Qin was in turmoil when gramps Ren said that Xiao Qin also practiced Yin Yang Sanshou.
“Although, my legs didn’t turn short, I did become flat-chested!”
As me and gramps Ren were shocked, she let go of my arm and ran in tears in the direction of Auntie Ren’s room.
“Sob sob sob~~~ my chest is flat all because of Yin Yang Sanshou.”
“Mom didn’t learn Yin Yang Sanshou well, so her breasts are bigger than mines.”
“Yin Yang Sanshou is an evil martial art. If men learn it, their legs will turn short. If women learn it, they will become flat-chested, I want to forget everything that I learned!”
It’s entirely Xiao Qin’s prejudice, otherwise Gong CaiCai, who has been suffering from her own breasts being too big, should have come to practice Yin Yang Sanshou.
Both me and gramps Ren were momentarily speechless as we watched Xiao Qin tearfully run into the hospital area.
“Um.” Gramps Ren may have felt the need to explain, “Ye Lin, your short legs aren’t caused by Yin Yang Sanshou.”
Don’t mention my short legs, do people who sell cosmetics say: the reason you’re so ugly isn’t because of the cosmetics, do you think people would be happy when they hear that? Do you know how to comfort someone?
I hastily changed the subject: “Gramps Ren, I can’t learn Yin Yang Sanshou from you right now, but can I call you master?”
“Yes.” Gramps Ren graciously agreed, “Since Xiao Qin said you are still a little sick, let’s wait until you get well. As for kneeling and kowtowing, we could also save that for when I formally begin to teach you.”
“Then… master, the disciple shows his regards.” I performed a cupped fist salute that often appears in wuxia movies, which was also a wish of mine.
“Idiot Xiao Ye Zi, do you want me to hit you.” Gramps Ren suddenly became angry and made me confused.
“Where did you learn that from? The salute should be the left hand over the right hand, you have your right hand over your left hand, are you showing your condolences to me?”
I was shocked and quickly swapped hands, so gramps Ren finally accepted my salute.
If I think about it, since gramps Ren accepted me as a disciple, then there would be a lot of chaos within the master – disciple lineage.
First of all, Auntie Ren is gramps Ren’s disciple, so from this perspective, Auntie Ren would become my “senior female apprentice”.
Then, Xiao Qin is also gramps Ren’s disciple, so Xiao Qin also became my “senior female apprentice”.
Of course, the above two relationships can not exceed the status of bloodlines or marriages. So when I see Auntie Ren, I still have to call her auntie, and Xiao Qin can’t act as my older sister.
The biggest problem is that I still have a disciple that everyone knows, Eunuch Cao.
Now that gramps Ren has officially accepted me as his disciple, I have become gramps Ren’s disciple, and Eunuch Cao has become gramps Ren’s grand-disciple (grandson).
Gramps Ren would never have thought that he would become the master of a failure like Eunuch Cao. I word got out, our school of Yin Yang Sanshou, would be laughed at by others in the marital arts world.
In addition, Yin Yang Sanshou will never be taught to Eunuch Cao. Other than the fact that he doesn’t have the foundation to learn martial arts, what if he learned it and became a flying thief.
“The child is gone, right?” Gramps Ren suddenly opened his mouth and asked me with a tone full of regret.
“Yeah.” I nodded, “It’s all because I was messing around in the mountains…”
Gramps Ren held out his hand, indicating that I don’t need to say anymore.
“It’s the will of the heavens, it can’t be forced; however, it looks like Hong Li still wants to have another child with your father.”
“Eh, master, did you already visit Auntie Ren? I thought you just arrived.”
“Hmm.” Gramps Ren stood on his tiptoes, “I did just arrive, but I peeked through the glass of her room. I haven’t met with Hong Li yet, but it seems like your father is taking good care of Hong Li.”
At this time, a middle-aged man with a serious face, wearing a western-style suit followed by a college student walked towards gramps Ren.
Isn’t this Xiao Qin’s uncle, the brother who is than Auntie Ren by 20 years, the principal and chairman of Qing Zi Academy? Also his son, Xiao Qin’s cousin, Ren Peng, who was addicted to LOL and nicknamed “Brush Prince”.
Aren’t you the captain of Ai Mi’s LOL professional team, “Golden Lightning”? I know you were brought here by your grandpa and dad to visit Auntie Ren who was injured in a car accident, but you look half-dead… I bet you stayed up late at the internet cafe again yesterday. Compared to Auntie Ren, you look more like the patient!
