I am a late bloomer in the world of cultivating immortals

Chapter 22 Weitu's Rejection (for collection, for further reading)
With the silence of Shan Wuju.

The atmosphere in the living room gradually became silent, and the slight sound of the wings of the birds in the courtyard could even be heard from the window... Everyone's eyes subconsciously focused on Wei Tu, wanting to hear how this single-handedly recruited disciple would answer.

Most of the people, or [-]% of them, looked expectant, hoping that Wei Tu would follow Shan Wuju's wishes and agree.

Including Shan Yangong, the only son of the Shan family who was a little at odds with Shan Fang before.

The Shan family could tell that the old man was silent at the moment, because he didn't want to force Wei Tu to agree, so as not to hurt the relationship between master and apprentice.

——It didn't expressly reject Shan Fang's request, so the implication was obvious.

Even without this, the Shan family could guess what the old man was thinking.

When people get old, they all hope that the family business they created will last forever, and that the skills they are proud of will be inherited by their children and grandchildren.

Shan Yiwu is the offspring that Shan Wuju valued to inherit his martial arts in the family.

Everyone in the house knew that Shan Wuju accepted Wei Tu as his disciple, and he must have the idea of ​​protecting the Shan family's foundation after he gained fame.

And Wei Tu promised to teach Shan Yi martial arts, although it has little to do with this, but it can also be seen from this action whether Wei Tu is "pure filial piety".

If "little things" don't help, then it is debatable whether Wei Tu can stand up when the Shan family is alive or dead.

"This matter..."

After a moment of silence, Weitu finally spoke. He bowed slightly and said, "This matter is all according to Master's orders."

The voice fell.

Everyone frowned secretly.

After getting along with Wei Tu for more than a month, they knew that Wei Tu's character was respectful, but they also knew that this disciple who could win the favor of Shan Wuju was by no means a sham who couldn't hear good words or see people's thoughts.

They agreed that Wei Tu's answer could be more eloquent, more brilliant, and more pleasing to Shan Wuju.

Even if it is a word of refusal...

——For example: Master’s morality is deeper, and he is more suitable for teaching Yiwu than himself. The disciple should not be bored by himself, and disturb the master’s joy of fun.

It all works!

"All at my command?" Shan Wuju raised his eyebrows slightly, looking at Weitu.

As Weitu lowered his head when he bowed, Shan Wuju sat on the chair with his gaze just at the same level as Weitu's.

It's just that the former is looking at people, while the latter is looking at his own toes and the ground.

The two did not look at each other.

"I know what's on your mind." After a while, Shan Wuju looked away and told Weitu to stand up without having to continue to bend over.

Knowing people, Shan Wuju is conceited that he doesn't have this ability yet, but he has been with Weitu for so long, he also knows what kind of person Weitu is, and he can guess a thing or two.

——Wei Tu didn't want to be attached to him as a master and the Shan family all the time.

Just like its actions in the Shan family... never asked for additional property other than knowledge.

The implication of saying "all according to the master's orders" is that the friendship will be repaid, but he, Weitu, is not a servant of the Shan family, and will not let the Shan family order and direct things.

Of course, this sentence also has a hidden meaning, that is, Wei Tu can only be ordered by his master, and the rest of the Shan family is not qualified.

"After my death, Wei Tu should be someone the Shan family can rely on." Shan Wuju thought to himself after thinking through all this.

He has lived for so long, although he doesn't think he has the ability to know people, but he can still tell the good and evil of people's hearts.

Besides, people like Li Yaozu, who are so picky and searchable, are all optimistic about Wei Tu, and they don't hesitate to send Wei Tu to him to learn art at the expense of personal favor...

Regarding this, Shan Wuju did not think that Li Yaozu was also blind.

"If Yiwu wants to learn martial arts, when you leave after the next year, let Yiwu go to me, and I will teach him personally."

"Wei Tu, I'm still busy with martial arts exams, so I can't spare time. County exams in February, government exams in April, Dao exams in September and October, so I won't be free."

After waiting for a while, Shan Wuju took a deep breath, and said to Shan Fang in an unquestionable tone.

"Father?" Shan Fang was surprised and couldn't help crying out.

This time, it is true that she plotted to pass on the family boxing book, and it is also true that she wants Shan Yiwu to worship Wei Tu as his teacher.

A word of truth.

Thousands of books are falsely passed on.

The boxing records handed down by the Shan family are worth a thousand gold, and they are not high-end goods. Whether it is sold or kept as a family biography, it is all feasible.

As for making Shan Yiwu worship Weitu as his teacher...

Shan Fang was not blind either, and after staying at home for the past two months, she knew how much Shan Wuju had placed in Wei Tu.

If Wei Tu becomes a martial artist, he will definitely be a famous figure in Qingshan County in the future. Whether he uses it as a shelter for her family or relies on his contacts to revive the family business, it will be a huge profit.

But the premise is that she has to get involved with Wei Tu, and Shan Yiwu is a good intermediary.

It's just that her wishful thinking was broken at the link that was most likely to succeed.

Shan Wuju refused!

"Father, you don't have to be in a hurry for this moment. Let's talk about it after Brother Wei finishes his exams. Yiwu will grow up for another two years..." Shan Fang's voice weakened again, and she pleaded with Shan Wuju in a pleading tone.

She didn't believe it, Shan Wuju couldn't see the pros and cons of it.

It has nothing to do with Weitu.

In the future, once Shan Wuju leaves, the Shan family and Weitu will inevitably go further and further apart. It is unknown whether this old relationship will survive by then.

"I'm not old yet. If Yiwu really wants to practice martial arts, there's no need for Weitu."

Uncharacteristically, this time Shan Wuju justly rejected Shan Fang's plea, and was not at all moved by the love between father and daughter.

listen to this.

Shan Fang pursed her lips and remained silent. She searched her mind, but couldn't think of any suitable words to refute, so she turned her head to look at Shan Min who was sitting beside Shan Wuju, and wanted to use Shan Min's mouth to persuade Shan Wuju again.

She knew that Shan Wuju had always attached importance to Shan Min's opinion and would not easily oppose it.

however--

Something unexpected happened to Shan Fang again.

Shan Min didn't follow the script she expected, but made a soft sound, frowned, and said a kind word.

"Okay, Yaonu, it's still a long time. If Yiwu and Brother Wei kiss, it won't be too late for Brother Wei to teach..."

This sentence seemed to be reconciled, but Shan Fang knew that the matter of her son Shan Yiwu's apprenticeship with Wei Tu was over, and was completely rejected by the old couple.

"Obviously they gave away a horse, why didn't they agree to this matter..." Standing in the living room, Shan Fang couldn't figure it out.

The horses in Shan Family's stable, even if they are old horses, are good horses, and good horses that have not been castrated are very valuable.

One horse can sell for nearly a hundred taels of silver.

And her pleading, no matter how you look at it, is beneficial to the Shan family, and it only consumes the words of the old couple, which does not reach 100 taels of silver.

"Also, don't think about the boxing score. Unless Yiwu can do five piles of kungfu, or learn martial arts from me, and I will teach him personally, otherwise this matter will not be discussed."

Shan Wuju said again.

After finishing speaking, Shan Wuju waved his hand, signaling Shan Fang and her husband-in-law to step back.

　PS: Let me tell you why Shan Fang wants to divide the property and can divide the property. In fact, the book also shows that Shan Fang's husband is a son-in-law, and Shan Yiwu's surname is Shan.

　　Therefore, when there are grandchildren, Shan Fang also has the right to fight for the Shan family's property
