Chapter 017 Every father with a daughter is not afraid of cold
"Hello, owner!"
"Aiwen is here? This is your first time in the lobby on the first floor. You can sit wherever you want."
"Okay, thank you, host."
Place a cup of newly brewed high-quality black tea in front of Alvin who is sitting on the mahogany chair, and then turn around and sit back on the wooden chair next to him.
Mu Feng, who is already fifty years old and has a daughter, picked up his teacup. He was just about to say some nonsense with the usual courtesy, but after taking a look at the childish face of someone who was the same age as his daughter, he thought for a while and finally decided to be more straightforward.
.
He smiled and said:
"There's nothing wrong with calling you here. I just heard from that kid in Sydney that you successfully defeated the members of the martial arts club's school team today, so I wanted to have a chat with you.
Have you ever learned swordsmanship before?"
Ivan, who had already planned for this situation, simply shook his head.
"No, I have never learned swordsmanship before. I just learned some recently by observing and then went back to practice on my own."
"Oh, you haven't learned it yet?"
Master Mu nodded when he heard this. Although his face remained calm, his heart was far from being as indifferent as he appeared.
He was actually mentally prepared for such an answer. After all, as a real local snake, he naturally knew what the situation was like in the welfare homes in this city.
Combined with his daughter's description today, even though he couldn't believe it emotionally, his reason told him that the handsome young man in front of him, who had a straight waist and didn't look burly but quite imposing, might really be a century-old man.
A rare martial arts genius!
Yes, just by watching, you can quickly learn and use your own secret eagle attack skills in actual combat. What is this but a genius?
The Mu Pavilion Master did not think that Ivan had learned the secret technique of flying falcon-style eagle strike elsewhere before, and then lied to him.
This is both impossible and unnecessary
Because it is also the secret method of Eagle Strike, there are actually differences between different branches and schools.
Once a secret skill is learned and formed into muscle memory, it is extremely difficult to change.
Although the confused baby girl has no talent in martial arts and can beat up a gangster after practicing for so many years, she is definitely not able to recognize the characteristics of her own Twilight Style Flying Falcon style.
Even if the boy had really learned the eagle strike from somewhere else, and then forcibly changed his muscle memory in actual combat to disguise it as a Twilight-style secret skill, and used it smoothly to defeat the enemy, then Ivan's evaluation in his heart would be higher.
Because that is a sign of having mastered one's skills to the point of entering the palace. It is something that a true master of martial arts can do. Master Mu himself does not even have that level!
"Genius..."
Looking at the bright-eyed and calm Ivan, he couldn't help but feel a little dazed.
A touch of darkness gradually filled his eyes. Mu Feng didn't know why, but he suddenly became very fond of Ai Wen, and even couldn't help but admire him.
After all, this is an excellent seedling, and he is definitely an excellent successor who can pass on his Twilight style lineage!
As a contemporary head of a martial arts school, he naturally attaches great importance to the inheritance of his own school. This is also the most important mission he inherited from his father.
Unfortunately, the decline of martial arts is the general trend of the times and cannot be resisted by human beings.
Judging from the current situation, neither his three disciples nor his daughter, who inherited the beauty of his late wife but failed to inherit his martial arts talent, have the ability to carry the banner of the Dusk-style Flying Falcon style in a hundred years.
.
Especially Sydney.
Although she is very beautiful, and in ancient times she could definitely be said to be "powerful to the nation", but she can only be called a dull talent, and she may not even be able to defend Chengdu in the future.
Coupled with the huge weight she was born with after puberty, she basically said goodbye to the path of becoming a martial arts master.
On the contrary, Qianwei, who is averagely talented but extremely hardworking, has hope of running a martial arts gym.
But the position of the authentic lineage that countless hungry wolves are staring at is definitely out of the question.
Even he might not be able to sit so firmly if he didn't rely on the prestige left by his old man. After all, it is nothing new for branches to challenge the top of the main line.
The protection of the elders can no longer take care of the next generation.
As for the last resort of some schools in ancient times when they did not have a qualified male heir - recruiting a son-in-law, it was not that he had not thought about it, but it was difficult to achieve.
After all, now is not the past.
The development of science and technology and the progress of civilization have brought about a better life, but they have also made human nature more complex.
He had no confidence at all that he would be able to find a martial arts hero as his son-in-law who was willing to give up his identity as a sect and then safely inherit the name of his family's Twilight Style Flying Falcon Style.
Not to mention whether the daughter is willing or not, but more importantly, what if she encounters a white-eyed wolf with evil intentions who deliberately approaches her daughter and wants to swallow up Mu Shi's family fortune?
From this point of view, he is actually full of despair about the future.
For this reason, Mu Feng even had to break the centuries-old rules of his own sect and forced to keep his father's youngest disciple, Rand, who was supposed to be on his own after leaving the army.
The reason is that if the next generation of his family is really unable to pass on the name of the Twilight Master Family, then Rand will simply inherit it all, so as to prevent the inheritance from being extinct.
However, the appearance of the young man named Alvin in front of him made him see another possibility.
My precious daughter is very beautiful...
Of course, even if he is suddenly optimistic about Aiwen, the owner of the Mufeng Hall is still a well-known figure in the local area, so he has to save face. It is impossible to rush to ask Aiwen to become his apprentice or even his son-in-law.
And what if something really goes wrong and the boy’s talent is actually average?
Therefore, necessary tests and observations are still necessary, especially character, which is more fatal than talent problems.
"Evan, I see that you seem to be very interested in swordsmanship and have good talent. I am currently planning to give an in-depth explanation of some advanced techniques of the Flying Falcon style to senior students. You should also learn together.
You can also practice in the dojo when you have nothing to do. If you don’t understand anything, feel free to ask me or Rand for advice."
"Is that really okay? Thank you so much!"
Faced with the olive branch that was offered to him, Alvin had no idea of being modest and agreed very decisively.
After all, the other party has already spoken so plainly today, so it would be a bit disrespectful for me to go around in circles again.
The owner of Mu Pavilion was a little surprised that he was so straightforward, but he soon smiled generously.
"Haha, these are all trivial matters. If you can, you can help me take care of the child in Xue Li at school. I would like to thank you. My daughter is good at everything, but she is too innocent..."
At this point, the conversation between the two quickly turned to domestic matters with Xue Li as the protagonist, and then moved to their studies.
When he heard that Aiwen's recent test scores were first in the class and that he was very confident that he would compete for the scholarship for the next grade at the end of the semester, the director's eyes suddenly lit up and he became more and more satisfied.
Born as an orphan, he studies extremely well, has a down-to-earth and hard-working personality, and is extremely talented... He is simply a God-given son-in-law!
Thinking of this, he simply took the initiative to mention the Classical Combat Skills Competition next month, telling some details about the martial arts competition, and even some stories about previous martial arts competitions.
After all, he suddenly decided to join the martial arts club at this time, and in such a high-profile way. An old Jianghu like Mu Feng would know what Ai Wen was thinking just by thinking about it for a moment.
Through the narration of the owner of Mu Museum, Alvin successfully learned a lot of things that could not be searched online.
As for why this person knows so much...he has been a judge for several regional competitions in this city!
Ivan was like a sponge at this moment, eagerly absorbing a lot of seemingly insignificant but actually very useful knowledge and information passed on by the other party, especially those about martial arts.
As the narrator, Mu Feng felt that the studious young man in front of him should have figured out what he was thinking.
After all, he said it so straightforwardly. He just said, "I see you have amazing bones and great talent. Become my apprentice!". There is no way the other person would not understand.
As for making it clear, there is no rush.
The future is long, and matters related to inheritance or even the lifelong happiness of his daughter cannot be decided easily. Besides, he doesn't know the thoughts of the young man in front of him now, so for now, he just needs to express enough goodwill.
Even if Aiwen refuses to accept him and officially accepts him as his teacher, if he invests a little bit casually, no matter what happens, there will still be a trace of incense and love.
If I can help my daughter in the future, I will make money...
