After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me - Chapter 1154

Chapter 1154: Nemesis
Seeing how angry he was, Zhouzhou quickly said, “Master Yin, why don’t you stay with us for a few days? You can also see Yin Shuo’s progress.”

“He’s your grandson, so you must know him well. He’s not a fool.”

Upon hearing this, Yin Hua sneered, “Not a fool? He got sold out and is still counting the money for the ones who did this to him!”

Though he said this, he knew deep down that his grandson wasn’t actually dumb.

Take his talent in metaphysics, for instance—it was indeed impressive. Even if he had been fooled in other areas, metaphysics wasn’t something you could easily fool around with.

Could it be that the Sanqing Temple really had some kind of secret technique?

Li Yuanming might be useless, but that was because he was inherently poor in skill.

However, his disciples weren’t bad, especially this one.

Over the years, he’d heard people praise her.

Thinking of this, he glanced at Zhouzhou, eyeing her curiously.

She was quite cute, with clear eyes—seemed like a good kid.

But that was just the surface.

She had learned from Li Yuanming, picking up all his bad habits along the way!

With that thought, he rolled his eyes and turned away.

“Grandpa, please stay.” Yin Shuo quickly added, “How about you take a look at this talisman I drew?”

With that, he pulled out a fire talisman. Before he even spoke, his wrist flicked, and in the next moment, the talisman ignited by itself, conjuring a fireball the size of a basketball in the air.

He’d been practicing harder these past few days.

Yin Hua was truly stunned.

He knew his grandson’s strength, and this fireball used to be no bigger than a ping-pong ball.

Yet only a few days had passed!

He suddenly turned to Yin Shuo, his voice filled with disbelief, “Did you really draw this?”

“Of course.” Yin Shuo nodded, “Zhouzhou’s fire is even bigger. Mine is still far from enough.”

No, this fireball was almost catching up to his own!

Yin Hua stood frozen for a moment, unsure of what to say.

He’d spent twenty years teaching his grandson, and yet, after only a few days at the Sanqing Temple, he’d been outdone?

How could he accept this?

Seemingly reading his mind, Zhouzhou thought for a moment before smiling and asking, “Yin Shuo, why don’t you show your water talisman next?”

“Oh, right.” Yin Shuo nodded, pulling out another talisman. This time, he threw it a bit further to avoid it splashing them. But in the blink of an eye, the ground began to wet.

He wasn’t as good as Zhouzhou, who could summon a torrential rain, but compared to his previous light drizzle, it was already much better.

He turned to Yin Hua, his expression serious, “Grandpa, I’ve really learned a lot. They didn’t deceive me.”

Yin Hua could see it clearly.

But his proud wouldn’t allow him to admit it.

He never expected that his decades of hard work would be outpaced in just a few days.

How was he supposed to face this?

Seeming to sense his thoughts, Zhouzhou comforted him, “Master Yin, it’s because you laid such a solid foundation for Yin Shuo that I’ve been able to teach him so smoothly. This is also your credit.”

Upon hearing this, Yin Hua snorted, “I’m not that petty. You do know how to teach.”

His tone didn’t change much, but his expression softened a little.

Zhouzhou extended her invitation again. This time, he didn’t refuse. Yin Shuo tugged him inside, and though his face showed disdain, his feet moved without hesitation.

Li Yuanming watched this and couldn’t help but scoff.

Hypocrite.

Hmph.

Zhouzhou said, “Actually, I didn’t teach much. I only taught him for a few days at the beginning. After that, I had other things to attend to. It was Master Li who taught him.”

Yin Shuo nodded eagerly in agreement.

Seeing this, Yin Hua shot him a glare.

He really was a fool.

He knew perfectly well that his grandfather and Li Yuanming didn’t get along, yet he was still playing this charade, making it look like he was no better than Li Yuanming.

His face darkened, and he didn’t want to speak.

But of course, Li Yuanming couldn’t resist showing off, “Ah, well, what can I say? I may not be great myself, but I do know how to teach my disciples. That’s why the master chose me in the first place, right?”

Yin Hua’s temples throbbed as he tightly pressed his lips together, silent.

Seeing his reaction, Li Yuanming raised an eyebrow, “What’s wrong? Why so mute?”

This time, Yin Hua could no longer hold back. He shot him a fierce glare, “Do you really want me to beat you up before you’ll be satisfied?”

Who did he think he was?!

Li Yuanming puffed out his chest, defiantly staring back at him.

Yin Hua stared at him for a moment before, to his surprise, a laugh escaped him.

He was truly a fool—he’d spent his whole life battling with someone like this. It was embarrassing just thinking about it.

With a hint of sadness in his eyes, he finally spoke softly, “You taught Shuo, helped him improve, and I’m grateful.”

Li Yuanming froze, not expecting this.

Yin Hua couldn’t help but chuckle, “What, you can’t handle a compliment?”

“It just feels weird,” Li Yuanming mumbled, scratching his head.

At this point, Yin Hua really wanted to hit him. Was this guy for real? What a pain.

He couldn’t be bothered to talk any more. The more he said, the shorter his life would get!

This guy definitely needed a lesson.

Zhouzhou pulled Li Yuanming aside, sending him a pointed look.

She still had use for him, so he’d better not get worked up and cause any trouble.

Seeing her gesture, Li Yuanming snorted and fell silent.

Zhouzhou gestured for Yin Hua to sit down, then asked, “Master Yin, now that the Special Action Office has been established, don’t you want to consider joining us?”

Hearing this, Yin Hua’s brow furrowed. “That’s a different matter. You’ve taught Shuo, and I’m grateful for that. But since Shuo is now part of your Sanqing Temple, he belongs to you. You teaching him is to be expected. As for whatever this ‘Special’ office is, my stance is firm. I won’t join.”

Zhouzhou didn’t get angry. She’d known he was a stubborn one; otherwise, he wouldn’t have fought with her master for so many years.

She continued, “May I ask why you refuse?”

Yin Hua shot her a sideways glance, sitting up straight with his chin raised. “People from the Mystery Sect are different from ordinary folk. You should know your place and not associate with just anyone.”

Zhouzhou had heard some of this from Li Yuanming before, but hearing it firsthand was still shocking.

She tilted her head and thought for a moment before asking, “Master Yin, do you have two lives?”

Yin Hua frowned, confused by the question. “Of course I have only one life. Everyone has just one life. What kind of question is that?”

“Well,” Zhouzhou shrugged, “We all have two eyes, one nose, one mouth, and one life. What’s the difference between us and ordinary people? We’re all just human.”

Yin Hua had always been a prodigy, and from a young age, he had become an expert in mysterious field, revered by everyone. No one dared to speak to him like this.

His brow furrowed, and a cold glare shot from his eyes. “Are you teaching me how to behave?”

His aura turned icy, and even Yin Shuo didn’t dare speak.

Zhouzhou, however, wasn’t scared at all.

She wasn’t the type to be intimidated. Not to mention, she had been dealing with her two dads, who were far more intimidating than most of the people—why would she be scared of him?

She stared him down without blinking and said, “Yeah, it’s a simple enough idea. How come you can’t understand it? You’re acting like a three-year-old.”

With that, she gave him a disdainful look and shook her head as if disappointed.

Yin Hua: …

These two really were his nemesis.
