Chapter 136 A Belated Birthday Gift

“Who said I didn’t remember?” Lu Lingguang said, forcing himself to brandish his sword.

After exchanging a few moves, he dejectedly put down his sword.

"That's all I remember. I lost."

"Then you have to call me 'Grandma'?" Yu Ningyao raised an eyebrow at him.

"Who knows if you've studied it beforehand?" Lu Lingguang retorted stubbornly.

"Xiao Guang, you should honor your bet. How could you do this?" Lu Qingyun looked at his grandson with displeasure.

“Okay, then demonstrate a move you know, and I’ll learn it on the spot. If I can’t learn it, I’ll admit defeat.” Yu Ningyao said confidently.

Lu Lingguang refused to believe it and immediately demonstrated his best sword move at top speed.

Lu Lingzhao couldn't stand it anymore and scolded his younger brother with a stern face: "Xiao Guang, isn't this a bit unfair?"

"It's alright." Yu Ningyao had already remembered everything.

She took the wooden sword and demonstrated the sword moves that Lu Lingguang had shown her again.

However, she hadn't practiced the basics and could only imitate the appearance; she lacked the sword energy and sword intent.

But this was enough to shock the Lu family members present.

Lu Lingguang was completely dumbfounded.

"You're really amazing," he murmured to himself.

He then immediately changed his attitude and bowed deeply to Yu Ningyao.

"Auntie, I was wrong!"

His ability to be flexible and adaptable startled Yu Ningyao.

After the slap in the face was over, Yu Ningyao felt great.

With a wave of her hand, she said, "Alright, since you've sincerely apologized, I'll mercifully forgive you!"

"Hahahaha. As expected of my little apprentice, he's really amazing." Lu Qingyun was the one laughing the most.

As I get older, I never expected to receive such an outstanding apprentice.

He is so lucky.

Shen Chuyu couldn't help but speak up to persuade her, "I heard your mother's surname is also Shen. Maybe we were related hundreds of years ago. Why don't you acknowledge me as your master and I'll teach you?"

Lu Huaifeng, who had remained silent until now, also stepped forward.

"Father and Mother, you are both getting old. Why don't you let me teach you? Yaoyao will be my apprentice."

Lu Qingyun and Shen Chuyu said in unison, "Get out."

That brat is trying to steal them away.

The scolded Lu Huaifeng could only reprimand his son and nephew: "Look at Yaoyao, she's so amazing at such a young age. And look at you, how dare you take a break? You all have to do extra training today."

Lu family children: ...

Now, not only Lu Lingguang, but they are all questioning the meaning of life.

So this is what a true genius is like.

They thought they were very capable, but it turns out they were far inferior to geniuses.

Yu Ningyao's performance today not only won the favor of the elderly couple, Lu Qingyun and his wife.

This also caused internal strife within the Lu family.

The children practiced even more diligently.

Especially Lu Lingguang.

Having lost once, he was unwilling to lose a second time.

He needs to practice even harder to redeem himself as soon as possible.

……

Yu Ningyao's first day of martial arts training came to an end.

Yu Kangjing came to pick her up in person.

As soon as he saw his daughter, a series of questions popped up:

"My dear child, how was your day at the General's Mansion? Were you happy? Were you tired? Were you bullied?"

“No one is bullying me, I’m fine.” Yu Ningyao shook her head.

"I was a little tired, but I had a lot of fun. The old general and his wife both liked me very much."

Seeing her smiling face, she didn't seem to have been wronged at all, so Yu Kangjing felt relieved.

"And what about the food? Is the food at the General's Mansion as delicious as the legends say?" he continued to press.

"Delicious." Yu Ningyao expressed her high approval.

General Lu was a man who paid great attention to his appetite and had very high standards for food.

If Shen Yuanbao were here, the two food lovers might have become close friends despite their age difference.

"Then Father can rest assured." Yu Kangjing breathed a sigh of relief.

It's really great that my daughter is well-fed, not mistreated, and even learning skills at the General's Mansion.

When she got home, Yu Ningyao's brothers asked her about her day with concern.

Yu Ningyao was not impatient and answered them one by one.

"That's good."

Knowing that she had a good time, her brothers were relieved.

Shen Jinzhu looked at her eldest son: "Ziheng, are you sure you want to participate in the imperial examination this year?"

"Hmm. Let's give it a try, otherwise we'll have to wait another three years." Yu Ziheng nodded.

During the years he observed mourning for his grandparents, he studied diligently and wanted to give it a try.

“I support it!” Yu Ningyao immediately raised her hand.

"If he passes the exam, my brother will be the youngest top scholar."

"If I don't pass the exam, I'll just consider it a trip and a chance to gain experience."

"You have so much faith in your brother. He's not even a student yet, and you're already dreaming he'll be the top scholar." Yu Kangjing chuckled and gently pinched his daughter's nose.

"No, no, no, I'd rather be the third-ranked scholar. I've heard that the third-ranked scholar is good-looking." Yu Ningyao shook her head.

Her childish words made the whole family laugh.

Yu Ziheng's face turned red instantly.

"You can say such things at home, Yaoyao, but you can't say them like that in public. After all, this is your brother's first time taking the imperial examination this year," Shen Jinzhu quickly instructed her daughter, worried that her son would be under too much pressure.

“Okay. I won’t say.” Yu Ningyao nodded emphatically.

"Brother, don't feel pressured. I believe in you the most!"

"Okay, I will also try my best not to disappoint Yaoyao." Yu Ziheng also smiled.

The family finished their meal happily.

Just as they were about to return to their respective rooms, Yu Zizong reached out and tugged at his sister's sleeve, stopping her.

"Yaoyao, your birthday present is ready."

Yu Ningyao was stunned.

Her birthday has already passed, and Sixth Brother already gave her a birthday present.

Why else?

“The previous one doesn’t count; this one is truly finished.” Yu Zizong led her to his room and took out the gift he had prepared.

Yu Ningyao was stunned when she saw it.
