Chapter 30 Apology
Qian Duoduo was overjoyed; he hadn't been this happy in years. He excitedly pulled Huo Yuhao up, shouting, "Great! Great! From today onwards, I have a son too!"
Xian Lin'er was also very happy. The two of them had never had children, and she herself didn't know when she would be able to completely let go of the past and accept Qian Duoduo. Today, the fact that they could recognize Huo Yuhao as their adopted son could at least temporarily mend the subtle distance between them.
Seeing Qian Duoduo's expression, Xian Lin'er secretly breathed a sigh of relief. For so many years, Qian Duoduo had stayed by her side, yet never said a word.
If acknowledging Huo Yuhao today could make up for some of her guilt, Xian Lin'er knew very well that acknowledging Huo Yuhao was primarily driven by her desire for a child. But she still...
Xianlin'er knew that after today, she would owe the other party even more.
"Yuhao, let's have dinner together at home tonight. Your teacher and I will cook for you."
Huo Yuhao's feelings were complicated at this moment. He had parents again, but he also knew that the essence of this relationship was mutual reliance, rather than a blood connection.
But so what? When he thought of his own stepfather and compared the two, he actually felt like crying, but he held back.
He had been an orphan since his mother's death, and now he was truly happy to have a place he could call home again, even if the feeling wasn't entirely pure.
Huo Yuhao's eyes were a little red. He looked at Xian Lin'er, then at Qian Duoduo, and nodded gently, saying, "I'll listen to Mom and Dad."
Xian Lin'er couldn't help but hug Huo Yuhao, tears glistening in her eyes.
"Good boy. Good boy."
Qian Duoduo looked at the scene before him with satisfaction, feeling that his life had been worthwhile.
Just then, the doorbell rang at the gate of the Ninth Test Zone.
Xian Lin'er released Huo Yuhao, straightened her posture slightly, and nodded slightly to Qian Duoduo.
Understanding immediately, Qian Duoduo walked to the door, pressed the switch, and a middle-aged man who was 1.8 meters tall walked in.
The middle-aged man had very broad shoulders and wore only simple cloth clothes. His strong and muscular physique was faintly visible, and he exuded a sense of stability like a mountain when he stood there.
The middle-aged man bowed slightly and said, "Fan Yu greets the two deans."
Huo Yuhao looked thoughtfully at the arrival of this person. He vaguely guessed that it was related to him, but he was not sure what the other party's attitude was.
Xianlin'er and Qian Duoduo looked at Fan Yu with suspicion, wondering what Fan Yu was doing here at this time.
Fan Yu was quite frank. He bowed deeply to the two deans and then, under the puzzled gazes of Xian Lin'er and Qian Duoduo, explained his purpose: "Zhou Yi has caused me trouble again. Things have gotten a bit out of hand and it has brought shame to Shrek Academy. I have come here to apologize to the two deans."
As she spoke, Fan Yu glanced calmly at Huo Yuhao. This action was clearly seen by the two deans, who began to speculate. Qian Duoduo asked in a deep voice, "Fan Yu, tell me the whole story from beginning to end."
Fan Yu nodded and said, "Zhou Yi's teaching methods have always been controversial. Although I've always covered for her, I never imagined she would go this far this time. This morning, right after school started, she made the whole class run 100 laps around the square because they hadn't been fighting, and even threatened to expel any students who disobeyed her. Then, she got into an argument with a classmate, and Zhou Yi couldn't help but start a fight, but she didn't really hurt the other person. Du Weilun stepped in and controlled the situation, preventing it from getting out of control."
"I was wrong in this matter."
Xian Lin'er frowned and said, "That was indeed excessive. The Martial Soul Department should have already issued a punishment this time, right? Let's handle this officially. Go back and let your Zhou Yi reflect on her actions! This matter will definitely reach the ears of the various forces behind them as the new students pass through. Suspension is the least they can do. Let her know what she's doing."
Qian Duoduo hadn't forgotten the look Fan Yu had given Huo Yuhao just now, and he asked with some confusion, "Fan Yu, didn't you just say that Zhou Yi got into a fight with a student? And they fought but didn't do anything to the other person? What's this monster freshman's name?"
Fan Yu didn't speak, but stared straight at Huo Yuhao and nodded slightly to him.
Huo Yuhao hadn't intended to hide it, but as the three of them turned their gazes to him, he said with a wry smile, "That student is me."
The two deans, who had already anticipated this, stiffened slightly and coughed twice. Xian Lin'er said somewhat awkwardly, "I forgot to introduce you. Fan Yu, this is my newly accepted disciple, Huo Yuhao, who is also the adopted son that the vice dean and I just recognized. I haven't had a chance to introduce him to you yet."
A hint of surprise flashed in Fan Yu's eyes, and he couldn't help but feel speechless. Zhou Yi really knew how to cause trouble for him. He originally thought she was just his disciple, but now she's his adopted son. People are becoming more and more related, but you've directly offended two of my superiors for me. You're really something.
Fortunately, he knew that both deans were of good character, and since he had taken the initiative to apologize before Huo Yuhao had mentioned the matter, things were still relatively easy to resolve. If he had been a couple of steps later, Huo Yuhao would have reported it first, adding fuel to the fire.
Fan Yu was also very shrewd. He smiled and congratulated the two deans, saying, "Fan Yu congratulates the two deans on adopting such a talented, intelligent, and well-mannered adopted son. This level seven flying soul tool was just made by me. Yu Hao has now reached the Soul Master realm, and he can use this flying soul tool. I will give it to this child as an apology on behalf of my Zhou Yi."
As he spoke, Fan Yu took out a light blue, semi-transparent, cicada-wing-shaped flying soul tool from his soul tool. He slowly walked up to Huo Yuhao and handed it to him, saying with some helplessness, "I know Zhou Yi's personality, Yuhao. I'm sorry you were wronged by this. I apologize on her behalf. Take this. I haven't named it yet. You can name it yourself."
Huo Yuhao knew that accepting this apology would wipe the slate clean. He looked into Fan Yu's eyes and nodded gently. "Thank you for the gift, I like it very much. I hope you can help me with any academic questions in the future."
Fan Yu breathed a sigh of relief; this matter was finally over.
He nodded slightly to the two deans and said, "Then I'll take my leave. Goodbye, deans and Yuhao." With that, he slowly walked out of the experimental area.
Xian Lin'er and Qian Duoduo waited until the door closed before looking at Huo Yuhao. Xian Lin'er gently pinched Huo Yuhao's cheek and said, "You little rascal, you didn't tell us about something so important! If you dare to hide it from me again, you can expect to get a few extra bricks as homework!"
Huo Yuhao scratched his head a little embarrassedly and said, "I just haven't found a chance to say it yet, have I?"
Qian Duoduo patted Huo Yuhao on the back and said, "Fan Yu is sensible. You can ask him for help if you have any questions in the future. When it comes to talent in soul tools, Lin'er and I are far behind him. If we're talking about who in Shrek Academy has the best chance of becoming a level nine soul master, then it's probably Fan Yu. Let's go home and have a meal first."
