Time Travel: The Noble Family

Chapter 446: Chapter 161: Hermit in the Wild_2

Yueyao was somewhat puzzled and asked, “Mr. Yu Shan, will becoming an apprentice be disadvantageous to me?”

Mr. Yu Shan couldn’t explain it clearly in a few words; it was hard for ordinary people to understand, only Yueyao would understand when she reached that level: “You’ll know when the time comes. You must remember your promise to me; you cannot become an apprentice.”

The reason Mr. Yu Shan wanted Yueyao to make this promise was that her talent was bound to attract attention. Now, there were many factions in the painting community, each with their own style and characteristics. For Yueyao, joining any faction would not be beneficial.

Mr. Yu Shan believed that Yueyao’s talent was exceptional and, combined with her young age, it was better for her to grow and explore her own path; this way, she could go further in the future. Once apprenticed, she would inevitably be influenced by her school’s doctrine. This influence was subtle and wouldn’t show in three or five years, but after ten or twenty years, she would realize it, and by then it would be too late for regrets. This was also why Mr. Yu Shan had been guiding Yueyao without formally taking her as a student.

After thinking it over, Yueyao nodded, “Do not worry, teacher, I will not become an apprentice.” Although she hadn’t formally undergone the apprenticeship ceremony, Yueyao had long regarded Mr. Yu Shan as her own teacher. Since she already had a teacher, it was certainly not possible to apprentice under another.
