Chapter 63 Shen Mao: I want to cultivate too!

No matter how eloquently Yu Lan spoke, Shen Baisu did not give an immediate reply. She simply told him she would consider it and then hung up the phone.

After the call was disconnected, Yu Lan called several times, but Shen Baisu didn't answer any of them.

She put away her phone and left the room.

At this time of day, the old lady would usually be either doing her morning exercise in the yard or reading the newspaper in the living room, but today, she was neither doing her morning exercise nor reading the newspaper.

Out of concern, Shen Baisu asked Aunt Zhao, "Aunt Zhao, have you seen Grandma? Why didn't I see her this morning?"

Aunt Zhao had just come downstairs, her brows furrowed with worry. Hearing Shen Baisu's question, Aunt Zhao seemed to have grasped some hope and hurriedly said, "Third Miss, it seems that the old lady has been deceived. You should go upstairs and persuade her."

"I really couldn't persuade her."

A big question mark appeared above Shen Baisu's head. She looked at Aunt Zhao and asked, "How did you get scammed?"

Aunt Zhao said with a serious expression, "It seems that she was tricked into joining some cult. She kept saying that she wanted to cultivate, and she wouldn't leave her room. She even said she wouldn't eat. She's still meditating in her room now."

As she spoke, Aunt Zhao grew increasingly angry. "I don't know which damned person tricked the old lady. I hope I don't catch him. If I do, I'll definitely send him to the police station!"

"..."

After hearing Aunt Zhao's words, Shen Baisu felt a little guilty. After a two-second silence, she coughed lightly twice and said to Aunt Zhao, "Um, I'll go upstairs to see Grandma."

Seeing this, Aunt Zhao called out to Shen Baisu's retreating figure, "Third Miss, you must persuade the old lady not to continue cultivating."

Shen Baisu gave a mumbled reply and quickened her pace upstairs.

Standing outside the old lady's door, Shen Baisu knocked twice, and then the door to the room was opened.

However, it wasn't the old lady who opened the door, but Shen Mao.

The father and daughter looked at each other, both of them surprised.

Immediately, Shen Baisu's eyes filled with doubt. She looked into the room and asked Shen Mao, "What are you doing here? Where's Grandma?"

Shen Mao subconsciously turned to the side and quickly pointed to the old lady who was sitting on the bed meditating, "She's sitting over there, saying she's... um, cultivating."

When it came to the word "cultivation," Shen Mao found it difficult to speak, because he had never believed in such things before.

But after what happened last night, he had no choice but to believe it.

Shen Mao remembered clearly for ten minutes the incident last night when his mother sent him flying from a distance.

When he woke up this morning, the first thing he did was run to the old lady to verify it. The old lady did not deny that she had slapped him away, so everything last night was real and not his hallucination.

His mother really mastered it.

Although we don't know what she mastered, she mastered it nonetheless.

Shen Mao had only ever seen the skill of slapping someone away from a distance on TV, and he thought it was impossible in real life. But he never expected to see it with his own eyes, and he witnessed it on his own mother.

His mother's ability to master this skill is clearly related to the mental cultivation method she practiced.

Where did that mental cultivation method come from? Wasn't it taught to the old lady by Shen Baisu and her senior sister?

Thinking of this, Shen Mao completely lost his usual arrogance in front of Shen Baisu. In fact, he was preoccupied with how to get Shen Baisu to teach him.

Unaware of Shen Mao's ulterior motives, Shen Baisu stepped directly into the room upon seeing the old lady. She approached the old lady and asked softly, "Grandma, are you still practicing?"

As soon as Shen Baisu spoke, the old lady opened her eyes, "Susu, you're here?"

Upon seeing Shen Baisu, the old lady's face lit up with a smile. "Come quickly, it's just in time. There's something I don't understand in my practice. Can you teach Grandma?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Mao silently stepped into the house and immediately pricked up his ears, intending to secretly learn a move or two.

Neither the grandmother nor the granddaughter noticed Shen Mao's behavior. After sitting down by the bed, Shen Baisu reached out and took the old lady's hand, saying, "Haste makes waste. Everything should be done step by step, and cultivation is no exception."

"So, Grandma should get up now and go downstairs for dinner. Oh, and exercise is also important; these things are helpful for cultivation."

The old lady now completely obeys Shen Baisu. After listening to Shen Baisu's words, the old lady nodded repeatedly, "Yes, Susu is right, Grandma will listen to you."

Shen Mao listened to the old lady's words with a slightly complicated expression.

After learning from Aunt Zhao that the old lady refused to get up and go downstairs to eat, Shen Mao tried to persuade her for a long time, but to no avail.

He talked himself hoarse but couldn't persuade the old lady, yet Shen Baisu convinced her with just a few words? How could that be?

Shen Mao was filled with frustration, but he dared not utter a word. He simply followed the grandfather and grandson silently downstairs with them.

When Aunt Zhao saw Shen Baisu helping the old lady downstairs, her eyes lit up with undisguised joy.

"As expected, it takes you, Third Miss, to persuade the old lady. Perfect timing, breakfast is ready, come and eat."

Next, Shen Baisu and the other two ate breakfast together.

After breakfast, Shen Baisu took the old lady to digest her food.

After walking for about half an hour, the old lady didn't want to walk anymore. She directly pulled Shen Baisu to meditate and cultivate.

Seeing that the old lady was even more enthusiastic about cultivation than she was, Shen Baisu didn't try to persuade her anymore. Originally, she also wanted to seize the time to cultivate, but now that the old lady no longer asked her to keep her company, she could finally start cultivating.

"Shen Baisu, I have something to tell you."

Since breakfast, Shen Mao had been following behind the grandmother and granddaughter. Seeing that the two had started to meditate with their eyes closed on the grass, Shen Mao quietly came to Shen Baisu's side and called out to her.

Shen Baisu looked at Shen Mao, her eyes questioning, "What?"

Meeting Shen Baisu's gaze, Shen Mao's expression became somewhat unnatural. He rubbed his hands together and stammered, "Um, um, didn't your grandma slap me away last night? Did you teach her to do that?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Baisu's eyes showed a hint of suspicion.

If Shen Mao had changed his tone, Shen Baisu would have thought he was going to settle accounts with her, but his current expression didn't seem like that of someone settling accounts; rather, it seemed like someone who couldn't bring himself to ask for money.

Therefore, for a moment, Shen Baisu was also unable to figure out what he wanted to do.

It can't be that Grandma took my card and I'm out of money, so I really have to borrow money from her, right?
Thinking this, Shen Baisu said directly, "Don't ask me for money, I don't have any."

Shen Mao: "..."

Do I need to borrow money from you?

"It's not about borrowing money, it's...it's about wanting to say that I also want to cultivate!" Shen Mao stammered, finally revealing his true thoughts.

After listening, Shen Baisu glanced at him teasingly, "Go ahead and practice if you want, no one's stopping you."

Shen Mao: "...How can I cultivate on my own if no one teaches me?"

"Don't play dumb with me. I want you to teach me. Don't you understand?"

After hearing this, Shen Baisu feigned surprise.

Two seconds later, she suddenly gave Shen Mao a kind and friendly smile, "Teach you? Like the palm strike Grandma used last night?"

Shen Mao nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, yes!"

Shen Baisu's expression changed instantly, her smile vanishing in a flash. She replied coldly and ruthlessly, "I won't teach."

"...?"

She just rejected him so easily? Without even a moment's hesitation?
