Chapter 472 Opportunity
Two days later, Yu Linlang went to Huakang Academy to meet Zhou Shusheng in person.

After explaining his purpose, Zhou Lanting was excited but also a little at a loss.

"Sir, do you mean to take my brother Yueming as your disciple?"

What kind of good fortune was this? Zhou Lanting was a little bit unbelievable.

His younger brother? He was a quiet kid who almost no one his age wanted to play with...

Lord Yuhu came to Huakang Academy specifically to accept a disciple. Zhou Lanting had to use a lot of effort to calm himself down.

"Thanks to your kindness, my brother is naturally willing."

Yu Linlang looked at him calmly, "I asked Aunt Nian before, and she said that as long as you have no problem with this, she has no objection. I will go to your brother and talk to him personally, so now I am asking what you think."

Zhou Lanting could not hide his excitement. "I naturally have no objection. I can agree to it on behalf of my brother..."

"You are the child's guardian, as long as you have no problem." Yu Linlang said seriously, "As for the child, I will ask in person."

Zhou Lanting was stunned, and spoke hesitantly, "But... my brother has never spoken a word since he was a child. Sir, you want to ask his opinion..."

Yu Linlang smiled, "Just because he doesn't speak doesn't mean he can't speak. You don't have to worry about this matter. Just tell me whether you are willing to entrust your brother to me."

"Also, since I have my own way of teaching my disciples, I may be traveling with them all year round, so I may not be in Beijing all the time. You should be mentally prepared."

Zhou Lanting stood up and bowed respectfully, "I would like to thank you for your teachings on behalf of my brother. But my brother..."

He hesitated for a long time before finally speaking through gritted teeth, "Maybe I'm not as smart as other kids, and I don't like to talk, so I hope Master Yuhu won't despise me."

Yu Linlang stared at the boy for a while and laughed, "Zhou Lanting, your brother is different from ordinary people."

Zhou Lanting was stunned and looked at Yu Linlang with a nervous heart, afraid that he might say something wrong and ruin his brother's future.

Yu Linlang waved at him and motioned him to sit down. "Relax. If I accept your brother as my disciple in the future, we will be considered family members."

"I might as well be frank with you. Your brother is a genius, different from all of you."

Zhou Lanting was stunned and looked towards Lord Jade Fox abruptly, only to see the little girl looking back at him with bright eyes and white teeth, smiling, her eyes full of seriousness.

Yu Linlang knew from the expression of Zhou Lanting, the silly scholar, that this fool had never thought of his younger brother as a genius.

In other words, Zhou Lanting never understood his brother's intelligence...

That’s right, this little genius is so secretive that it’s no wonder that ordinary people can’t see any clues.

Zhou Lanting was very excited.

His younger brother has been different from ordinary people since he was born. He likes to stay in the room and play with himself since he was a child, and he is too lazy to look at other people.

So, it's not that he's weird, but it's just a genius' quirk? "Your brother's talent is unmatched." Yu Linlang looked at Zhou Lanting seriously, "Let me tell you this, ordinary people like you need to study hard for ten years to reach the level that your brother might not even need a year."

"This is talent, which is beyond the reach of ordinary people."

Zhou Lanting opened his mouth in shock, looking at the Jade Fox Master in front of him with a silly look on his face. After a long while, he stammered, "But, but Yueming, I thought he usually just scribbled..."

How helpless! As an elder brother, he was completely unaware of the unusualness of his younger brother. It was such a dereliction of duty, Zhou Lanting looked ashamed.

Yu Linlang smiled at him and said, "Let me tell you something to discourage you. If you randomly pick any book from your bookcase to test him, I think he can recite it by heart."

Zhou Lanting was stunned.

"Okay, that's why I came to you today. As long as you have no problem with this, go back and do your work. I'll talk to your brother in person later."

"Yes, thank you very much, sir." After Zhou Lanting respectfully saw Lord Yuhu off, the more he thought about it, the more excited he became. He quickly asked for leave from the academy and ran home.

After discussing this matter with his aunt, Nian Xiuyun hurriedly asked people to prepare the things needed for becoming a disciple.

Zhou Lanting pulled his younger brother in front of him. Seeing that the boy was flipping through the pages of a book without even raising his head, he could not help but walk around him and mutter, "Yueming, Yueming, did you hear what big brother said?"

"Yueming, there is a very good opportunity in front of you now. Do you have any impression of that Lord Jade Fox?" Zhou Lanting rubbed his hands and stared at his younger brother.

The younger brother didn't even bother to give him a glance. He turned his head towards Zhou Lanting and said nothing.

"Yueming, Master Yuhu came to discuss with you today, saying that he wants to take you as his apprentice." Zhou Lanting continued to mutter, not caring whether his younger brother heard him or not. "This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, Yueming, you must seize it firmly, understand?"

"I think the master will tell you about this matter in person tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, Yueming. The master said that you are extraordinarily talented." Zhou Lanting swallowed the words "Brother really didn't see that" silently.

He glanced at his younger brother who ignored him and couldn't help but sigh, "The master may test your studies before accepting you as a disciple. Yueming, the master said, have you read all the books in the cabinet of big brother and can recite them? How about you recite a few sentences for big brother?"

Little boy Zhou Yueming turned his body half a circle again, with his butt facing his big brother, too lazy to say a word to the idiot.

His elder brother rubbed his hands and paced back and forth behind him, "Yueming? Yueming, did you listen to what your elder brother said? Next time you see an adult, don't be so rude..."

Zhou Lanting chatted with his brother for half an hour. During that time, he noticed that his brother kept flipping through the thick travel book on his lap, and even crawled to the bedside to change it for another one.

Zhou Lanting had never thought that his younger brother could really understand books before. He just thought that the little boy was just flipping through the books for fun. Now, combined with what Yu Linlang said, the more he looked at it, the more he felt that little Zhou Yueming was amazing.

"Big brother has asked for two hours' leave, and he has to go back to the academy later. Yueming..." Seeing that the child ignored him, he turned to him helplessly, "It's fine if you ignore big brother, but next time you see Master Yuhu, you have to pay attention to him!"

Yu Linlang naturally didn't know, and this idiot Zhou Lanting even ran back to have a conversation with his younger brother.

The next day, she bought a bunch of fruits and snacks for the kids to play with.

The two of them were playing jigsaw puzzles in the study. Of course, the jigsaw puzzle toys were provided by Lord Yuhu.

When it was almost time for lunch after playing for the whole morning, Lady Jade Fox suddenly asked the child, "Xiao Ming, do you want to be my apprentice? We can study and play together in the future? I will teach you skills, and when you grow up, you can take over my job and provide for me in my old age."
