Chapter 249
Early the next morning, Chen Muxue took the children to visit the Huo Family Academy.
The Huo Family Academy had the feel of a renowned large academy, with all its facilities well-equipped. The students coming and going looked youthful and vibrant... and dressed quite expensively.
Changgui didn’t pay any attention to others. He grabbed a list and rushed to a teacher Huo Lian had introduced, and after they talked for a while, Changgui showed a very satisfied expression.
"Sect Leader, I’ll study here!" Changgui said with satisfaction, using his spiritual power to burn the paper.
It was a list he had specially noted the night before with concepts he didn’t understand. He thought he might have a chance to ask today, and he didn’t expect Uncle Huo Lian to directly introduce this old teacher to him. He went up to him, and the teacher’s way of explaining deeply resonated with him. He understood easily, and it made a lot of sense.
What he had noted down were sentence fragments from the Qian Ding Sect’s secret manual. Only he knew what the context was like, yet this teacher’s explanations perfectly connected with the context, showing that he was a truly gifted teacher.
Seeing Changgui so satisfied, Huo Lian was naturally pleased and quietly encouraged the old teacher with a pat on the back.
It wasn’t in vain that he had specially brought out this teacher, who was recognized in the academy as the best at teaching, and it seemed that the things he secretly instructed the previous day, the teacher had also kept in mind.
"Although I am not the most learned in the academy, I do have quite a bit of experience in teaching young children," the old teacher said, stroking his graying beard with a smile.
He looked like the kind, rule-abiding yet not rigid-minded type of popular old teacher.
Chen Muxue was fairly satisfied with this teacher. It seemed that the Huo Family Academy did have some genuine talent and was not just a place for the children of big families to socialize.
But leaving Changgui here...
She couldn’t help but touch her own clothes, made of comfortable, soft cotton but already somewhat old. The children wore the same material, though newly made, so they could be called 90% new.
However, the occasional surprised glances from passing students and the obviously valuable materials of their clothes, with most of them wearing brand-new clothing...
"Miss Chen, since we are friends, there won’t be any tuition fees for the children to attend the Huo Family Academy. I’ll cover all expenses," Huo Lian said, bowing slightly to Chen Muxue.
Before Chen Muxue could respond, Changgui was the first to be moved by these words. He quickly tugged at Chen Muxue’s sleeve: "Sect Leader, we mustn’t miss this opportunity! I think it’s great here, and now Uncle Huo Lian says it’s free. Aren’t we making a great gain?"
Looking at his bright eyes, Chen Muxue hesitated, unsure of how to express her concerns.
Changgui was such a smart child, quick-minded too. After starting school, would he quickly feel excluded?
But wherever he suddenly transferred to any academy, there would always be some degree of exclusion...
"Sect Leader, I beg you, I really want to study here!" Changgui pleaded with Chen Muxue in an unusual act of endearment.
No fees mean no additional burden for the Sect Leader! Uncle Huo Lian is truly a good person!
Chen Muxue sighed. Well, if he couldn’t adapt, they could find another academy; he could always transfer, right? Moreover, the Huo Family’s expertise in Elixirs was more suitable for Changgui’s learning...
Seeing that Chen Muxue was about to agree, Xiao Hu and Changfu exchanged glances.
