While Shen Qi was admiring Grandpa Gu's ability to have fun, he did not relax in his heart, because he knew that Grandpa Gu must have other reasons for bringing Gu Yue here at this time. He even gave Gu Yue a Buddha statue as a thank you for saving his life, which seemed to be intentional. So Shen Qi just nodded slightly, and then looked at Grandpa Gu to see what he would do next.
Sure enough, after a few seconds of silence, Grandpa Gu couldn't help but speak, "Mr. Shen Qi, my daughter Gu Yue has been practicing ancient martial arts since she was young. She is extremely talented, even better than Gu Peng. The last time you visited our Gu family, Gu Yue was still in seclusion, so she didn't get to see Mr. Shen Qi. Later, his reputation spread throughout the family, and my daughter became deeply curious about you and was eager to meet you, so I took the liberty of bringing her here."
Shen Qi nodded, but did not express any other opinion, because he knew that Grandpa Gu brought Gu Yue here not just to see him.
Shen Qi had no intention of responding, and the atmosphere suddenly became awkward. Gu Peng gave a wry smile and said, "Mr. Shen Qi, I know I can't hide anything from you, so let's just be frank."
"The thing is, my little sister Gu Yue is recognized by our Gu family as the most talented person, no one else. That's why we've devoted a lot of effort to her, hoping that she can lead the Gu family to grow and develop, and promote the ancient martial arts tradition. If you hadn't appeared, I would have stayed in the Gu family to practice, but after you showed up, everything changed."
"Your cultivation is so profound that we can't catch up even if we try our best. It would be a waste of my extraordinary talent to let me stay at home to practice. So we have a request, which is to let me practice with you. If you are willing to accept me as your disciple, it would be an honor for our Gu family and for me as well. If you are not willing, I will stay by your side as a maid and take care of your daily life. What do you think?"
Shen Qi smiled. "You've really put a lot of thought into this. In that case, let Gu Yue stay. However, I have to go on a long trip tomorrow. It will take a few days at the shortest and half a month at the longest to return. During this time, Gu Yue can move freely. As for the rest, I will make arrangements after I come back."
Old Man Gu was delighted. He didn't expect Shen Qi to agree so readily. Before coming, he had prepared several plans in his mind, fearing that Shen Qi would not agree.
The reason why Shen Qi agreed so readily was that he had his considerations.
Since Grandpa Gu said that Gu Yue was extremely talented and made rapid progress in practicing ancient martial arts, there were two benefits for him to keep Gu Yue by his side.
First, Shen Qi can guide Gu Yue in his cultivation and revive the ancient martial arts.
Although Shen Qi is now quite interested in ancient martial arts, he cannot stay forever. In the end, he still has to choose someone to become the iconic figure of ancient martial arts.
At the beginning, Shen Qi planned to choose one of the five people from Gu Peng. Among them, Zu Zhao was very good. He was young and talented. However, when guiding Zu Zhao in his cultivation, Shen Qi found that Zu Zhao's comprehension was still a little lacking. Moreover, after practicing ancient martial arts for more than 20 years, Zu Zhao's concept of cultivation had been constrained. This could bring him great benefits in practicing ancient martial arts, but it would also bring a bottleneck to his cultivation. Once he reached the bottleneck, if he could not break through, he would make no progress in his life. Therefore, Shen Qi had not decided to spend time cultivating Zu Zhao.
Now that Grandpa Gu has sent Gu Yue here, it has given Shen Qi another option. Perhaps he can train Gu Yue to become an iconic figure in ancient martial arts.
The second is that Shen Qi plans to take this opportunity to train a gold medal fighter for the Shen family.
The Shen family is developing well. If it continues at this trend, as long as the troubles brought by the Simon family and Osmond are resolved, Shen Qi will not have to worry about anything and can leave at any time.
With the reputation and capital he has accumulated for the Shen family during this period, as long as Shen Hong and Shen Qiu, father and son, do not act recklessly and manage the business well, there will be no problem in passing down these assets to five or six generations.
Of course, if there are special circumstances, it will be another matter. For example, if the Shen family encounters the calculations of an organization like the Trickery Association in the future, it will not be a problem that can be solved by money alone. Therefore, Shen Qicai will leave a life-saving jade pendant or ring for Shen Hong and others, and he will also go deep into Kunshan to find powerful beasts to serve as bodyguards for the Shen family.
However, wild beasts are different from humans after all, and there is a huge gap between them. So when Shen Qi saw Grandpa Gu made such a request, he changed his mind. Perhaps he could let Gu Yue become the Shen family's biggest bodyguard in the next hundred years.
As long as Gu Yue accepts Shen Qi's guidance, it means that the two of them will have the status of master and disciple. Even if Shen Qi does not make any requirements, Gu Yue cannot sit idly by when the Shen family encounters trouble in the future, otherwise the reputation of their Gu family will inevitably be affected.
When the old man saw that Shen Qi agreed so easily, he felt relieved and couldn't help but ask another question.
"Mr. Shen Qi, does your trip need to be kept secret? I mean, if it doesn't need to be kept secret, you can bring Gu Yue with you. Although Yue'er's cultivation is still a little lacking, she can still be of some use on the road. What do you think?"
Shen Qi thought about it and it made sense.
His main purpose in bringing Chen Qiu to the depths of Kunshan this time was to broaden Chen Qiu's horizons so that he could spend more time on cultivation in the future.
As long as you have enough motivation, even if you have average talent, you can achieve good results in the future under his guidance.
However, Chen Qiu has no cultivation now, so it is still dangerous to enter the depths of Kunshan. Bringing Gu Yue with him can help take care of him, so that he won't be in a panic if he really encounters any danger.
"Okay, then let Gu Yue stay at the Shen family."
"yes!"
Grandpa Gu was overjoyed and quickly winked at Gu Yue.
"Yuer, why don't you thank Mr. Shen Qi quickly!"
Gu Yue hurriedly thanked him. Shen Qi waved slightly and looked at Old Man Gu again. "Recently, many people have been plotting against our Shen family. After I leave Jincheng tomorrow, I'll have to trouble Old Man Gu to take care of the Shen family's affairs for a few days."
Grandpa Gu nodded repeatedly, "Don't worry about this. I'll go find the hotel right away. If anyone dares to go against the Shen family, our Gu family will never let them off easily!"
"Yes! I will never let you off easily!"
Gu Peng also quickly spoke out, "I will also talk to Patriarch Feng and the other four. We are all here at this time. Anyone who dares to cause trouble in Jincheng will be against our five families!"
