Blue Phoenix Chapter 99 - Han Wu

Looking at the shocked headmaster, Hui Yue nodded his head. "Although he has reached an incredibly high rank at a young age, he is no longer allowed to advance. Having reached such a rank, he needs to build his foundations so that he can keep advancing in the future," Hui Yue said. "I am very proud of my son, but I am not his ideal teacher. If he joins your school, I will not fear for his future."

The headmaster could not help but smile as his school was being praised by an exalted expert such as Hui Yue. Even the Royal Family was friendly with Hui Yue.

"We would love to teach your son!" the headmaster said quickly. "To have such a genius join our academy would be our pleasure."

Hearing the eagerness in the headmaster's voice, both Hui Yue and Lao were excited.

They could sense his thoroughly excited mood.

"It's up to you," Hui Yue smiled at the child. "If you want to stay here you can, if you want to go home after lessons, you can also do that. You can even do both. I am sure the headmaster won't mind giving you a residence, and you can decide from there what you want to do.
