Chapter 135 You can call me grandma if you want
"How about this, we'll both learn a new set of martial arts moves from our master at the same time. Whoever learns it first wins." Yu Ningyao's eyes lit up as she proposed a new idea.
“Okay.” Lu Lingguang agreed without hesitation.
When Lu Qingyun returned, he saw his grandson's wild and aggressive behavior from afar. Before he could even hear their conversation, he shouted at him:
"Lu Lingguang, are you asking for a beating? How dare you bully Neng's little sister!"
Lu Lingguang looked at his grandfather with a wronged expression.
"I didn't bully her at all! I didn't!"
“Yes, Master didn’t bully me. He just said I had no talent and told me to go home and embroider,” Yu Ningyao replied.
Lu Lingguang's eyes widened.
How could this person complain to your face like that?!
Yu Ningyao glared at him defiantly.
He said it himself, so don't try to deny it.
"Don't listen to his nonsense. I took a liking to you at first sight and made you my apprentice. How could you not have talent? If you don't have talent, then no one in the world does," Lu Qingyun retorted immediately.
“I think so too.” Yu Ningyao smiled sweetly.
"So I made a bet with him that we would both learn a new move from you at the same time, and whoever learns it first will win."
“But that’s not fair. He’s been learning martial arts for so long, he can definitely learn a new move faster than you.” Lu Qingyun felt this was unreasonable.
"It's alright, didn't you say I'm talented? Talented people aren't afraid of comparison. You demonstrate once, and I'll learn it!" Yu Ningyao has a photographic memory, so she's not afraid of the competition at all.
"Good girl, you have ambition. This is the kind of disciple I, Lu Qingyun, should have." Lu Qingyun laughed heartily, extremely satisfied with her.
"Okay, let's do it then."
After he finished speaking, he glanced at Lu Lingguang.
"If you lose, you'll get a beating. You've studied martial arts for two years, and you're no match for a little girl who's never learned any martial arts before."
"I won't lose! You look down on me, but I'll prove you wrong!" Lu Lingguang clenched his fist.
"Not bad, you have backbone. You're my grandson, Lu Qingyun's grandson." Lu Qingyun smiled and patted his grandson's shoulder.
“It just so happens that your grandmother, father, and several brothers are all here. Call them over to be witnesses.”
Upon hearing this, Lu Lingguang inexplicably became nervous.
It would be embarrassing if he lost.
No, how could he possibly lose to a little girl who has just started learning martial arts?
Thinking of this, he straightened his back: "Alright, then let's call Grandmother, Father and Brother over."
Upon hearing that Lu Lingguang was going to compete with his father's newly accepted apprentice, the entire Lu family rushed over to watch the spectacle.
Despite seeing so many people, Yu Ningyao remained calm and greeted them along with Lu Qingyun.
Lu Lingzhao immediately teased his younger brother, "Xiao Guang, how could you bully a little girl? That's not how a man should behave."
"I didn't bully her. She even made me call her aunt. She's the one who bullied me," Lu Lingguang said, feeling wronged.
He didn't do anything, so why is everyone saying he's bullying him?
"Xiao Guang, don't let her lose too badly later. It's not easy to comfort a little girl when she cries," Lu Lingyang, the second brother, instructed.
"Hmph. I know what I'm doing." Lu Lingguang raised his chin arrogantly.
At this moment, Lu Qingyun's wife, Shen Chuyu, stepped forward.
"To be fair, let me demonstrate a sword technique that none of you have ever learned. It's a combo with nineteen moves. If you can remember half of it after one go, that's already pretty good."
"Okay." The two nodded in agreement at the same time, then looked at each other and turned their heads away proudly.
Lu Qingyun was happy to cooperate with his wife.
He immediately went and got two wooden swords, giving one to each of the two children.
Both of them held wooden swords, waiting for Shen Chuyu to demonstrate.
"Watch closely." Although Shen Chuyu was most skilled with a whip, her swordsmanship was also better than most people's.
The sword in her hand seemed to come alive, becoming one with her.
Her every move was fluid and graceful, captivating the viewer. All attention was drawn to her, not to the sword techniques themselves.
When she finished her demonstration, Lu Lingguang's eyes widened in astonishment.
Such fast moves, who could remember them!
He only remembers the last few moves; he's forgotten everything before that.
Shen Chuyu looked at her grandson's wide eyes and couldn't help but laugh.
"I just demonstrated the continuous movements to you. Now I'll demonstrate the broken-down movements to you. I'll show you each move one by one."
Hearing this, Lu Lingguang breathed a sigh of relief.
If he looks at it again, he's more likely to remember it.
Unexpectedly, Yu Ningyao spoke up at this moment.
"No need, Madam, I've remembered everything."
“How could you possibly remember something that happened so fast!” Lu Lingguang blurted out.
"Little sister, are you sure you've memorized it all?" Lu Lingyang was also somewhat surprised.
He hadn't learned that sword move either.
He only remembered half of it.
After all, Grandma was there to demonstrate, not to show.
To truly learn, you have to take it one step at a time.
"I've got it." Yu Ningyao nodded confidently.
"Keep bragging, aren't you afraid of exaggerating your abilities?" Lu Lingguang didn't believe her at all.
The two are only one year apart in age and are about the same height.
So Yu Ningyao raised her chin to look at him:
"If I can perfectly replicate every move later, you'll have to call me 'Auntie' respectfully every time you see me. If I have any questions, you have to answer them seriously and not give me perfunctory answers."
“No problem. If you can learn it completely, I’ll call you not just ‘aunt,’ I’ll call you ‘great-aunt.’” Lu Lingguang readily agreed.
"If you lose, you'll have to call me grandpa!"
"You little brat, who are you trying to take advantage of?" Lu Qingyun glared and puffed out his cheeks.
Lu Lingguang touched his nose guiltily, but didn't intend to change it.
“She already made me call her great-aunt. I’d better make her call me grandpa so I won’t be at a disadvantage. Anyway, let’s each keep to our own ways, so don’t worry about it, Grandfather.”
"Master, rest assured, I've decided to take this grand-nephew in!" Yu Ningyao looked at Lu Qingyun with a smile.
He then pointed the wooden sword in his hand towards the sky.
She said loudly, "Lu Lingguang, just you wait and see."
After saying that, she began to demonstrate the moves that Shen Chuyu had shown her earlier.
Not only Lu Lingguang, but everyone present thought that Yu Ningyao was bragging for the sake of saving face.
They all thought it would be good enough if she could remember even one or two moves.
Unexpectedly, when she started gesturing, everyone's jaws dropped.
The first move was correct.
The second trick worked too.
The third move...
Even in the very last move, Yu Ningyao's movements were perfectly executed.
Everyone was silent.
Even the well-informed Lu Qingyun was dumbfounded.
What kind of genius did he pick up?!
Lu Lingguang couldn't accept this reality.
For the first time, he began to doubt himself.
Is he really that stupid? How come Yu Ningyao, a little girl who has never learned martial arts, can completely memorize the sword moves that her grandmother demonstrated?
But he only remembered one-third of it.
"Your turn." Yu Ningyao planted her sword in the ground.
The little one's face was full of pride.
It looks majestic and incredibly cute.
Shen Chuyu adored this girl so much that she went up and hugged her and kissed her.
"Learn to use a whip with me."
"Don't worry, Madam, the competition isn't over yet," Yu Ningyao said seriously.
Then he stared at Lu Lingguang.
"Still want to compete? You didn't remember anything at all, did you?"
