Chapter 193 Aren’t you afraid of offending the Prime Minister?
"Oh! I can't teach this child well?"

Shu Mu sneered, his face full of anger. Of course, he never really wanted to take Wang Pingan as his apprentice, let alone teach Wang Pingan to read and write. He sneered:

"I am a juren after all. When this child grows up, maybe he can go to a higher level. Now, those who teach children to be enlightened may not even be juren, let alone scholars. Do you think I can't teach this child well?"

"Teaching a child enlightenment is not an easy task. With your current mentality, let alone you haven't reached the next level yet, even if you have reached the next level and become a Jinshi, I don't believe you can teach this child well!"

Luo Taiqing looked at Shumu coldly and said sarcastically.

How could he not see that Shu Mu was not sincere in wanting to take Wang Ping'an as his apprentice and teach him skills? Even if he was sincere, with Shu Mu's mentality, there was a great possibility that he would not be able to teach Wang Ping'an to be a talented person.

Because he was still preparing for the imperial examination, not to mention that he had no intention of teaching his disciples, even if he had the intention, he had never taught before. He didn't know what difficulties he would encounter in teaching students, especially teaching young children.

It is almost impossible to expect him to teach a successful student.

"You say I don't have the ability to teach this child to be a talent?"

Shu Mu sneered. Although he was very angry about Luo Taiqing's words, he had not forgotten the purpose of his coming here. He pointed at Taoist Xuanqing and said:
"He happened to be able to teach this child to be a talent. Then can you tell me, after all, I am also a scholar, why am I inferior to this wild Taoist priest?"

Liu Dongzhu said angrily: "From beginning to end, there is no way you can compare to Taoist Xuanqing!"

Ever since Shu Mu met her and called her "Mrs. Liu", she had a deep dislike for Shu Mu. Now he is even slandering their family's savior in this way.

How could she possibly have a good attitude towards Shumu?

Shu Mu ignored Liu Dongzhu's shouting. She was just a village woman. If Wang Ruhai hadn't asked him to do so, he wouldn't even look at Liu Dongzhu, let alone come here.

In his eyes, Liu Dongzhu's shouting was like a summer insect talking about ice.

How could I care?

of course.

He wished that Liu Dongzhu would think that Taoist Xuanqing had the ability to teach Wang Ping'an well!
Shu Mu looked at Luo Taiqing coldly, hoping that Luo Taiqing could give him a satisfactory answer, although it was very likely just sophistry.

"Master Xuanqing is not some wild Taoist priest. He is a disciple of Ziyang Palace and a serious Taoist practitioner. He has devoted himself to practicing Taoism for decades. How could he not be able to teach his disciples?"

Luo Taiqing looked at Shu Mu sarcastically. Until then, he roughly guessed the reason why Shu Mu came to the Wang family, and said:
"And Taoist Xuanqing is only giving enlightenment. Once the child has learned all his skills, he will be sent to our Luo family to learn other skills. With our Luo family taking care of him, how could this child be hopeless?"

"Luo family?"

Shu Mu frowned slightly, and thousands of guesses emerged in his mind, and said, "I wonder which Luo family it is?"

Luo Taiqing said arrogantly: "In the entire county, who do you think has the surname Luo and dares to call himself the Luo family?"

Shu Mu was startled. He felt familiar with the "Luo family" when Luo Taiqing mentioned it. After hearing Luo Taiqing's answer, he realized that his guess was correct.

It’s the Shura family of Junchengdao!
He is well-known throughout the county and even the state capital.

No wonder Luo Taiqing, a local rich man in a county town, dared to ignore him, offend him, and dare to offend him. It turned out that he was a member of the Luo family.

Shu Mu said with a gloomy face, "Master Luo, I think you know the situation of this child. Are you afraid of karma if you dare to take over the child?"

Luo Taiqing smiled and said calmly: "I think the Prime Minister and the third place winner are both generous people, and they will not care about such trivial matters!"

Although he said so, he was actually very frightened. The third place winner was not a big deal and was not a very powerful figure, but the prime minister was the most powerful person in the entire Great Xia Dynasty.

Not to mention their Luo family, which is just the Shura family of the county town, even the Shura family of the state capital dare not offend the prime minister, otherwise they will suffer the consequences.

Before. When Luo Liang and Luo Quan approached him and wanted to take Wang Pingan as their apprentice and asked him for help, he had said something similar.

But whether it was Luo Liang or Luo Quan, they just smiled, as if they didn't care at all about offending the Prime Minister.

wrong.

To be precise, the benefits of accepting Wang Ping'an as a disciple far outweigh the risk of offending the prime minister.

He dared to prepare for the engagement with the Wang family and was not afraid of offending the prime minister or the third place in the imperial examination. That was because he was just a local rich man. In the eyes of the prime minister, he was nothing and naturally would not care about such a trivial matter.

"is it?"

Shu Mu looked at Luo Taiqing coldly. He knew whether Wang Ruhai and the Prime Minister were generous people. Luo Taiqing knew it, and the Luo family also knew it...

But the Luo family still did this, which meant there was something he didn't know!
Shumu was delighted.

Although Wang Ping'an is very likely to have talent and aptitude in practicing Taoism, and it is also extraordinary.

Otherwise, the Luo family would not have risked offending Wang Ruhai and the prime minister and accepted Wang Ping'an.

Although Wang Ruhai was a top scholar, he had offended the prime minister. However, the prime minister was a man-eating tiger. If he dared to offend him, he would suffer the consequences.

I wonder how many families have been destroyed by the prime minister's casual words.

perhaps.

Wang Ping'an might really make a name for himself in the spiritual practice, and maybe even take part in the immortal examination. Regardless of whether he passes or not, once he enters the capital, it will definitely cause an uproar and affect Wang Ruhai's reputation.

He would be happy, but of course he didn't want Wang Ruhai to be embarrassed.

Although he may have this thought, perhaps he himself is not even aware of it.

Rather, this news would give him a chance to show his abilities and bring him closer to Wang Ruhai and even the Prime Minister's Office.

How could he not be happy?
Shu Mu suppressed his excitement and said, "Okay, since you are confident, I want to see what a wild Taoist priest and a Taoist Shura family can teach this child to be, and see if they can really teach this child to be talented!"

After saying that, Shumu seemed to be filled with anger. He didn't want to stay here any longer, so he turned around and left.

"Master Luo, thank you so much for standing up for me and the Wang family this time!"

Taoist Xuanqing thanked him and went straight to the point: "It's just that what the scholar said is true. I am just a Taoist priest. I have only learned some mediocre skills. I don't have much confidence that I can teach this child to be a talent.

We still have to rely on your Luo family!"

Luo Taiqing assured: "Master, don't worry, when this child grows up and becomes sensible, he will learn all your skills and then be sent to our Luo family. I promise that our Luo family will definitely teach this child to be a talent!"

long time ago.

Taoist Priest Xuanqing found him and said that he could let Wang Ping'an become Luo Quan's disciple.

However, he hoped that he could be Wang Ping'an's enlightenment teacher and let Wang Ping'an learn all his skills.

Will send Wang Ping'an to the Luo family!

Taoist Priest Xuanqing told him this because he naturally wanted to pass the message to Luo Quan through him.
