Shen Antai burst into laughter right after Shen Huan finished speaking.
Imdiately afterwards, with an ecstatic and proud look, he said to Shi Yaoguang, "Master, see for yourself? How filial my grandson is! I assure you, you won’t lose out by being with my grandson!"
Shen Huan, with a full head of black lines: "Grandpa, I’m still here."
Shen Antai glared at him, "Of course I know you’re here!"
Shen Huan pouted, "Since you know I’m here, why would you still say these things in front of ? Aren’t you afraid I’ll beco depressed?"
Shen Antai rolled his eyes at him, "What are you talking about? I’m your dear grandpa, would I harm you?"
After speaking, he lavishly praised Shi Yaoguang, "See? She is your grandpa’s master. Technically, as my grandson, you’re not qualified to be with my master, but... what if my master is blind? Wouldn’t that be your lucky break?"
Shen Huan: "???"
Shen Huan: "!!!"
He couldn’t help but ask a soul-searching question: "Am I really your biological grandson?"
"What do you think?"
The old man glared fiercely, showing a disdainful roll of his eyes, "Tell , if you weren’t my own grandson, would I give you this opportunity?"
Shen Huan muttered to himself, "The opportunity you’re giving is indeed great, but... "
"But what?" Shen Antai’s face turned stern, his expression unhappy, "Are you suggesting it’s beneath you to be matched with my master?"
"It’s not about being beneath ."
"If it’s not that, then what is it?"
The old man wouldn’t let up, insisting he give a clear explanation.
Shen Huan’s mouth twitched, and he reluctantly revealed his thoughts.
"Alright, I’m saying it." Shen Huan took two steps back before he spoke, "She’s already married. You wanting to introduce to her, isn’t that disrupting her life? I don’t want to be a howrecker."
The old master had his speech ready, but upon hearing "howrecker," he was suddenly at a loss for words.
To one side, Shen Jizhi showed an incredulous expression upon hearing this.
"What? What did you say?" He looked at Shen Antai, "Dad, you..."
"Dad what?" The elder glared at him, "Did I do sothing wrong? Fate needs to be fought for, love needs to be maintained. I’m just introducing a young man of my master’s age to her, is there sothing wrong with that?"
"Or is it that Quan Jinbei, that rascal, is such a male chauvinist, thinking that once a girl is married, she can’t have her own happiness?"
Shen Huan’s mouth twitched again, feeling the old man’s logic was unparalleled.
Shen Antai looked coldly at his son, "Tell , don’t you think the sa?"
Shen Jizhi shrank his neck and whispered, "I never said anything like that."
"It’s better if you aren’t that kind of person. If you dare to pull rank as my master’s father-in-law, see if I don’t break your legs!"
Shen Jizhi instinctively cowered: "How would I dare?"
After saying that, he eventually realized, "Dad, isn’t this relationship a bit too ssy? No matter how you put it, I can’t be your master’s father-in-law."
Shen Antai responded unconcernedly, "What’s so impossible about that? As long as Xiaohuan puts in so effort, isn’t the future full of endless possibilities?"
Shen Huan: "..."
He felt powerless to retort.jpg.
Shen Jizhi couldn’t bring himself to contradict his own father and could only throw a pleading look toward Shi Yaoguang for support.
Shi Yaoguang too felt unable to comnt, and imdiately spoke up, "Disciple, I think you’ve misunderstood."
"Hmm? Misunderstood what?" Shen Antai was always eager to heed his master’s teachings, as shown by his prompt reflection as soon as Shi Yaoguang spoke up.
Shi Yaoguang said, "I had no intentions of having an affair with your grandson."
"Ah?" Shen Antai was sowhat stunned, "Really? Not even a slight possibility?"
"None," Shi Yaoguang answered definitively.
Shen Antai still found it hard to believe, "My grandson is quite handso, do you like good-looking people, Master? My grandson is pretty good!"
He still rembered Shi Yaoguang falling in love with Quan Jinbei at first sight.
In his view, love at first sight was all about being swayed by appearances.
Being swayed by appearances ant... that as long as one’s appearance was pleasing, there was the potential for interest.
Translated, that ant Quan Jinbei might do, Shen Huan might as well.
Odd though the old man’s logic was, it wasn’t entirely without rit.
Strictly speaking, while he was talking nonsense, his nonsense had so sense to it.
To dissuade the old man from continuing to play matchmaker for her and Shen Huan, Shi Yaoguang had to co up with an excuse.
"Disciple, there’s a reason why there’s no possibility between your grandson and ."
Shen Antai tensed up imdiately, "A reason? What kind of reason?"
Shi Yaoguang: "I don’t like the color green."
"Don’t like green?" The old man was a bit dazed, "What kind of reason is that? Just because you don’t like green it..."
He hadn’t finished speaking when his gaze landed on his grandson with the green hair.
In an instant, he was at a loss for words.
He knew his grandson enjoyed being playful, that much was true.
But he hadn’t noticed at all that Shen Huan’s new style involved green hair!!
If he had known that his grandson’s matchmaking prospects would be ruined by a head of green hair, he would have had him shave his head early on!
Shen Huan, oblivious to his grandfather’s thoughts at the mont, felt sowhat uneasy under the old man’s intense gaze.
Seeing that Shen Antai no longer insisted on matchmaking, Shi Yaoguang quickly pulled him away.
When Shen Antai heard his Master was going to give him so cultivation guidance, he left his grandson behind without a second thought and followed eagerly.
Shen Huan watched his grandfather lead the person away politely to the backyard, then uncertainly asked his father, "Dad, do you think Grandpa could be getting scamd?"
Shen Jizhi shook his head, giving him a look of mysterious profundity.
Shen Huan rubbed his eyes, knowing his dad, he wasn’t soone who normally exuded such an aura.
Indeed, it took less than five seconds for Shen Jizhi’s expression to collapse, and his words were spoken without much vigor.
"I think that young lady is quite capable for real."
After his sigh-like statent, he seed to suddenly rember sothing and asked, "How co you ca back with her? Do you know her?"
Shen Huan nodded, with a speechless expression, "She’s my deskmate."
"Deskmate..." Shen Jizhi casually repeated, then imdiately beca excited when it sank in, "What did you say? Deskmate?!"
He had previously speculated that the girl was a hermit from the mountains, though young in appearance, she was actually older.
But.
What had he just heard?
His father’s Master, was his son’s deskmate?
Deskmate implies the sa class, the sa school, the sa peers.
Peers, they should be more or less on the sa level of ability, right?
He knew exactly what his son was like, so it seed that his father’s Master might not be that reliable after all...
