After being wrongly married, I stabbed my husband to death and became famous throughout the world.
Chapter 74 A Good Master
Before doing these things, Li Shu also considered the person's temperament first, and then began to implement them.
My cousins only said that he was eccentric and strange, but they didn't say that he was evil-hearted or wicked. Moreover, he used to be a martial arts leader. People who can be martial arts leaders in this area usually have some sense of loyalty and responsibility, and are mostly not selfish or vicious.
She offered them drinks, but they refused, either because they didn't like them or because they didn't like taking advantage of others.
These characteristics alone are enough to rule out many different personality types.
Li Shu dusted himself off, his expression serious, and he seemed to be recovering quickly.
But Old Man Yu knew that even if the soft armor could block that blow, the fall just now was not light. He was angry that the little girl was deliberately playing tricks on him, but he was also somewhat shocked by her endurance.
“I don’t teach apprentices, let alone a young girl like you. If you want to protect yourself, you might as well find a man to marry.” Old Man Yu looked at her, still very impolite.
Hearing this, Li Shu felt somewhat unconvinced.
She had just stood up when she suddenly sat down on the ground: "Ouch, that really hurts... I broke a rib not long ago, and it was a serious injury. I've only been recovering for a few days, and now this has happened again... Am I going to die?"
"..." Old Man Yu opened his mouth, somewhat speechless with anger.
The wall isn't even that high! How could it have broken so easily?
But looking at Li Shu's face again... it was somewhat pale.
Just then, some noises came from Li Shu's courtyard.
Seeing the gate open, the Chen siblings went straight in, but saw no one. They called out twice.
Li Shu looked at the old man in front of him and said frankly, "It is normal for a master to train his disciple, but if an old man beats an injured orphan girl, that's... not a good thing to say."
"You're threatening me? If you want to be my apprentice, you shouldn't be so disrespectful!" Old Yu was very dissatisfied. At his age, with half his body already in the ground, why would he care about his reputation?
"I'm not your apprentice yet, so of course I have to be a bit arrogant. Once you really become my master, and you make me bow down and act like a grandson, I won't say a word. Whether I can obey or not depends on you."
Li Shu was very straightforward, and then flattered, "Although I have not met you many times, I could tell at first glance that you have an unyielding spirit and are different from ordinary people!"
"Although I am a woman, so what? As long as I work hard, I am no less than anyone else, just as a soldier can also achieve great things!"
"Uncle Yu, with your skills, you could turn even a piece of wood into a martial arts master!"
"I've been watching you practice martial arts these past two days, and it's made my blood boil. Just watching you for a couple of moments has been incredibly beneficial. If I could receive your guidance, I'm sure I could grow rapidly and surpass everyone else..."
"..."
Li Shu seemed to have gone all out.
She went on and on, almost all of it praising the old man in front of her.
She wasn't afraid of misjudging him, after all, the old man Yu in front of her was definitely more capable than her, and she wouldn't lose out no matter what.
Old Yu had never seen such a shameless person.
He had been living a solitary life for years and hadn't heard anything like this before. In fact, to be more precise, this was the first time in his life that someone had gone to such lengths to flatter him. Every word he uttered stirred the emotions of the listener.
Is he proud and unyielding?
That's right, and it was precisely because of this pride that he made the wrong choices when he was young.
He's incredibly skilled?!
That's right! Back then, he made great contributions in the army, and he was confident that he could win every training session and lead his brothers out of danger under any circumstances.
However... having strong martial arts skills does not mean being invincible.
Back then, he was too confident, thinking he could hold off ten thousand men single-handedly, so he miscalculated many things and lost a battle he shouldn't have lost.
His son died, and several of his good brothers in the martial village who had always regarded him as their leader also died.
He himself lost an eye and has never come out of that state since.
When the incident first happened, he wondered if he was too weak and his martial arts skills were not strong enough, which led to that outcome. Now... after thinking about it for twenty years, he probably understands. He is brave but lacks strategy. Even if he were given another ten or a hundred years to become the number one master in the world, he still would not win that war.
Old Yu didn't know why he suddenly had such feelings.
It seems to be because of the little girl in front of him.
From the moment he watched the little girl fall off the wall, he could sense that this child was extraordinary.
The burning ambition in his eyes and his unbridled temper were unlike any other child he had ever met; there was a kind of reckless abandon and an arrogant disregard for failure.
Old Yu couldn't believe he would see such a quality in a teenage girl.
Before Old Man Yu could speak, the Chen brothers, standing on the layers of straw on the other side of the wall, poked their heads out and peered over.
"Cousin! Why are you sitting on the ground?!" Chen Ying asked hurriedly.
Old Yu took a deep breath and nodded helplessly at Li Shu: "If you can't take the hardship, then move out and don't bother me anymore."
“Yes, Master!” Li Shu immediately agreed and kowtowed on the spot.
"..." Old Yu's lips twitched as he looked at the little girl, feeling an indescribable strangeness.
The Chen siblings were even more confused.
Here, many people dislike Old Man Yu, not only because he is eccentric, but also because he killed many people in his younger years, so every household avoids him.
However, a long time has passed, and people no longer hold grudges about some things.
Even if others didn't pursue the matter, Old Man Yu didn't let him off the hook, as if he had imprisoned himself, his soul unable to be free.
How could such a lifeless person get along so well with his cousin?!
My cousin calls him "Master"? Does that mean he's going to teach her martial arts? Is Uncle Yu perhaps getting old and mistaking my cousin for his deceased son, which is why he made this decision?! But my cousin doesn't look like a boy at all!
The two siblings were very puzzled.
They had an instinctive fear of Old Man Yu and didn't dare to ask any questions, only whispering, "Cousin, we've come to see Little Wu..."
"Master, I need to take care of some small matters first," Li Shu said crisply, then got up, climbed over the wall, and left.
"..." Old Man Yu was a little confused and regretful.
He just didn't want people to think he was bullying a child, so he agreed without thinking...
But this little girl is so skinny, how can she be trained?
If he were to die from exhaustion, wouldn't his sins be even greater?
Old Yu didn't know why he agreed; it was like he was possessed by a ghost... Maybe it was because he had been isolated for too long...
Once they were out of Old Yu's sight, the Chen siblings breathed a sigh of relief.
“Cousin, are you asking him to protect your safety? That’s a good choice. Uncle Yu’s martial arts skills are very powerful. If you encounter any trouble, you can ask him for help. Even if he’s unwilling, he will definitely take action.”
Chen Ying felt that her cousin was becoming more and more adept at dealing with people; even someone like Uncle Yu was willing to "patiently" talk to her.
