Chapter 248
"Not to mention, our Huo Family Academy has also taken in quite a few children from other prominent families. This indirectly highlights the uniqueness of our academy. Even other major families choose our Huo Family Academy, which only proves that our academy is well-run."
Chen Muxue raised her eyebrows slightly.
Goodness, when the Liuyun Sect accepts disciples from other sects, it’s probably because they’re difficult to manage. But when your Huo Family Academy accepts children from other families, it’s to prove indirectly that your academy is well-run?
Huo Lian continued, "But after all, it’s not an academy in the Immortal Cultivation World. Even if other children with Spirit Roots come, their level is naturally not comparable to these few kids, so it won’t put too much pressure on them."
"Moreover, as the heir of the Huo Family, I still have a significant say. Plus, given our close acquaintance, I assure that nothing troubling will happen to the children."
Huo Lian sounded very confident, but Chen Muxue couldn’t help feeling that something was off.
Because of Liu Lingshi and Xiao Feng, going to the Liuyun Sect was definitely out of the question — the Huo Family Academy also seems a bit questionable. Perhaps she should take some time to visit other sects, gather some Elixir, and with the reputation she’s already spread, those sects might refuse but they wouldn’t be able to turn her down rudely.
However, before Chen Muxue could share her thoughts, Changgui eagerly said, "I think Uncle Huo Lian’s house is nice, I get along well with Uncle Huo Lian, so going to his school should be fine!"
Chen Muxue frowned slightly. Since when did Changgui become so familiar with Huo Lian?
Huo Lian let out a slight smile and bowed to Chen Muxue: "Actually, what I said was just us adults analyzing things on our own—going to school is still a matter for the children. We ought to listen to their opinions."
The children’s opinions... Chen Muxue didn’t deny the importance of this, but Changgui and the others haven’t seen any academies. Without comparison, how can they form a good opinion?
"Then, how about this, I’ll first take the kids to have a look. If it’s suitable, I’ll trouble you," Chen Muxue said with a courteous smile.
Changgui was somewhat impatient; he wanted to quickly understand those books to create the Elixirs everyone needed. But how much longer would he have to wait?
"I just want to go to school and learn to read! No need to make it so complicated!" Changgui couldn’t help but say.
This unhelpful child, why is he suddenly so rushed?
Chen Muxue was somewhat speechless: "You still have to take a look, right? If you like it when you see it, we’ll let you go straight away, it won’t delay you much. You have to be patient, Changgui."
Changgui wanted to say more but stopped; he sat on the chair hugging his knees, curling into a little bundle with "I’m very depressed" written all over it.
This child, could it be that she had been too inattentive lately, and he had some concerns she wasn’t aware of?
Chen Muxue recalled that among the four children, she indeed paid more attention to Xiaohua, but that was because Xiaohua was the youngest, and a girl, and as a woman herself, they resonated more. For the thoughts of these boys, she couldn’t quite guess!
Huo Lian smiled slightly and bowed again: "If that’s the case, there’s no time like the present. It’s quite late today, but you can come to see tomorrow. How about this, tomorrow morning I shall come to take you. That way, you can enjoy lunch at our academy’s cafeteria. The food there is free."
Little Tiger and Changfu exchanged a glance, silently lamenting that this meant an early morning visit and eating at another’s cafeteria... Could it taste better than what the Sect Leader made? They were a bit doubtful.
Can they choose not to go!
"Yay! Lunch!" Xiaohua clapped her hands, somewhat oblivious to the situation.
