Chapter 431 Adopted Son (4)
"He, he..." The old lady had no good feelings for Zhou Nianping, but was more afraid. She immediately shook her head and expressed her objection: "No, Gui'er cannot recognize him as her adoptive father."
Mu Changfeng had long expected that she would object, but he deliberately asked: "Why can't it?"
"He..." the old lady said with courage: "He is not like a good person, I'm afraid that Gui'er will be worse by him."
Mu Changfeng said: "My senior brother is a person with a pure personality."
The old lady hesitated for a moment and said, "I think you are quite suitable."
Mu Changfeng smiled and said, "Although my younger generation has white hair, he is actually only twenty-two years old and is not suitable for adopting an adopted son."
"I dare not rush to the top." The old lady was quite knowledgeable. She had long seen that Mu Changfeng was born in a prominent family and had a good family education. "If you are willing to accept Gui'er as your apprentice, I will be in peace until I die."
Mu Changfeng said: "Compare my younger generation with my senior, I am definitely not suitable for me. First, I have been wandering around since I was a child and have no place to stay. Even if I have the intention to teach Gui'er well, I may not be able to do it. Second, I have shallow knowledge, except for the spiritual art of subduing demons and catching ghosts, I know nothing about it. Third, it is the most important reason. I don't like children very much and cannot treat your Gui'er sincerely."
When the old lady heard the eight words "drifting around and living without a fixed place", she thought that her previous guess was wrong, and that Mu Changfeng's background was not superior.
People are selfish, especially when older people plan for their children and grandchildren, their selfishness will be even stronger. Her age is a problem that cannot be ignored. If you talk about ten or eight years or at least three or five years, you may be in a hurry.
The identity of Gui'er's demon clan is also an issue that cannot be ignored. There are many exorcists in the world who have subdued demons. The couple are still alive and do not have the ability to protect him. As long as Gui'er has a strong backer to rely on, she can only be safe and sound in her life.
After mistakenly thinking that Mu Changfeng was born an ordinary person, he gave up the idea of letting Gui'er recognize him as his master.
Mu Changfeng took a sip of tea and said, "My senior brother was born in the Zhou family, one of the four major families of Yulong Pavilion. He has a wealthy family and a stable life. Except for the few months he goes down the mountain to experience every year, he spends the rest of his time in Yulong Pavilion. After you a hundred years, Gui'er can stay with his senior brother for a long time and live a stable life without having to be in the wind and rain. A peaceful and smooth life is the biggest wish of you, the old man, and Gui'er's deceased mother."
"Zhou Nianping's father is..." The old lady vaguely guessed the truth, but she was not sure.
"My younger brother's second uncle, Zhou Duan."
"It turned out to be him." The old lady remembered that Zhou Duan was very pretty like a girl when she was young, and she was very delicate. She also had a girl's personality, silent, shy, polite, and kind to others.
Under the psychological effect of loving the house and the mistress, my disgust towards Zhou Nianping became a little more calm.
"The senior brother is a generalist. Gui'er learns whatever he wants. It's better to learn anything. He doesn't suppress his skills. In today's world, many capable people emerge. As long as he has real talent and real learning, he has a prosperous way of life. Gui'er may become a literary master, a painting master, or a doctor who can save the world." Mu Changfeng observed his words and expressions, and confirmed that the old lady was moved.
He also said: "At that time, Gui'er will not only succeed, but will be famous for generations. Of course, what I am talking about is 'maybe', and no one can do the things in the future. Gui'er followed her senior brother, and these 'maybe' will come true. Following me is like a secret bead. Even if it is not good, Gui'er can always learn a skill and cannot be rich and powerful. There is absolutely no problem with having food and clothing for life."
The old lady was even more moved. She was not a greedy person and had never held the luxury of having a noble son and glorious family like her husband. However, if the child has the opportunity to become a talent, she does not want to miss a rare opportunity.
Mu Changfeng said: "I know what I am worried about, so you don't have to worry at all. I admit that my senior brother is impatient and vicious in his words, but he values feelings and promises. Once he accepts Gui'er as his adopted son, he will be sincere and teach all his life. In the future, no matter who dares to use the identity of the demon clan as an excuse to make things difficult for Gui'er, my senior brother will be the first to stand up and protect him with his life."
"This..." The old lady was still hesitant and said, "It's not easy to learn well, but learning bad things will be a matter for a moment. I'm afraid that Gui'er will never learn your senior brother's skills in the end, so she has learned a lot of his shortcomings."
Mu Changfeng said: "As long as good as climbing, and evil as falling off. The worries of the seniors are not without reason. But the senior brother of the younger generation is a person with a proper sense. In front of the children, he will restrain his bad things. Besides, there are younger generations who are there. The younger generation will supervise on the side and will not let Gui'er learn something that should not be learned."
The old lady said: "When Zhou Nianping takes Gui'er as his adopted son, will he have to take him to Yulong Pavilion?"
"The two old men don't want Ye Luohui..." Mu Changfeng wanted to persuade her to return to her hometown, but suddenly remembered that the two old men had eloped here. Fifty years have passed, and there may be old friends in Chunshui Village. Even if they think of their hometown, they may feel that they have no face to go back.
"Whether Gui'er returns to Yulong Pavilion depends entirely on his predecessors."
"Of course I don't want my child to leave, but I don't want to delay my child's future."
"Senior, don't worry," Mu Changfeng said with a smile: "At that time, I will prepare two mirrors for my senior brother and Gui'er. They can communicate with each other through the mirror. Even if they are thousands of miles apart, my senior brother can teach Gui'er various abilities in a timely manner."
The old lady was completely relieved and nodded, "Okay, for Gui'er's future, I will do this."
"Okay, in three days, I will come with my senior brother. Senior, don't need to prepare more, just a cup of fragrant tea." Mu Changfeng stood up and bowed, said goodbye and left.
When Zhou Nianping heard what happened after hearing him, he slapped the table, "Mu Changfeng, you don't keep your word. Have you promised not to force a son to me, and you are fat when you break your word. Are you embarrassed?"
Mu Changfeng smiled gently, "I'm not ashamed, my junior brother broke his promise and did not force a son to you, but wanted to convince my senior brother to accept the next son willingly."
"Haha," Zhou Nianping laughed in anger, "I've been struggling for a long time. It turns out that you played a word game with me. Where did you usually calm down? Where did you give me a son, it's clearly a hot potato."
"It's indeed a hot potato. It's because of the hotness that my junior brother found the person who is the most capable of catching it." Mu Changfeng and Zhou Nianping have been together for a long time, and under the influence of the eyes, they learned to smile thief.
"Don't hide your sword in your smile. It's not rare to wear a high hat for me."
"My junior brother has considered himself. He has a shallow knowledge. That is not a misleading child. My junior brother has considered senior sister. You said that she is a ghost clan and a demon clan. That is not an excuse for giving people with ulterior motives. After a comprehensive analysis by my junior brother..."
"Oh," Zhou Nianping showed disgust, his facial features almost squeezed together. "I deliberately belittled myself to raise me, and I realized that you have the ability to flatter and slap. I met a little tree demon. Your skin became as thick as a bark. If you have the ability, come up and ask me to prick the awl."
Mu Changfeng endured it and finally tolerated his smile back, facing Zhou Nianping with a serious expression, "Whether it is considered from the perspective of pros and cons, or just thinking for Gui'er, my senior brother must be the one who is most capable of catching hot potatoes. You eat more salt than I eat, and you walk more bridges than I walk..."
"Okay, it's your turn to shut up this time." Zhou Nianping grabbed Mu Changfeng's collar without saying anything and pushed him out of the door, "Tell you, I'm using my hands but not my feet in my sight. If you dare to talk too much, I'll kick you out of the inn."
