Chapter 414 - 398 Resolute
"Don’t get mouthy with your mother," Shitou said, as he lightly slapped Pei Yi’s head, "show some respect."
"You’re all in it together, picking on the little guy. What kind of skill is that?"
As Pei Yi dodged left and right, he just couldn’t evade Shitou’s "magic hand." Instantly, the little man’s self-esteem took a hit. He got so angry that he was jumping up and down and shouting, "You’re not even supposed to hit the face, let alone the head. Can’t you guys show a little dignity befitting your age?"
"How has this little rascal become so eloquent lately? Spouting arguments left and right—is it from watching too much TV?" Lu Yun asked Shitou curiously.
"That must be it. He even has time to watch TV. Seems like we haven’t been strict enough, we should ramp up his training," Shitou replied with raised eyebrows, a mischievous smile aimed at Pei Yi.
A chill went down Pei Yi’s spine as he quickly shook his head, looking to Lu Yun for help, "Mom, you’re my real mom, you can’t just stand by and let dad ruin the country’s future generations, let alone be an accomplice. He’s forcing things. My conscience is clear, I really don’t have any extra time to watch TV. At most, I can only squeeze out such a tiny bit of time each day to read."
To emphasize how "tiny" that bit of time was, Pei Yi stretched out his little finger against his thumb, indicating a space about the size of one-fifth or one-sixth of a fingernail cap, eagerly showing it to Lu Yun.
As he spoke, he continued to emphasize, "Everyone says you learn as long as you live, and it’s about balancing work and rest. You can’t always ask me to be an uncultured fighter, right?"
