Seeing Zuo Tingyi enter the house, Zuo Tang immediately skipped over to Zuo Tingyi, and took his arm.
"Did you miss me, big brother?" Zuo Tang looked up charmingly.
Zuo Tingyi's cold eyes flashed with a trace of warmth, and the tiredness of the last few days seemed to fly away at that moment.
Smiling lightly, he rubbed Zuo Tang's little head, and said, "What happened to make you so happy today?"
"I rode on Sister Phoenix's fiery mayfly today, and it was so fun!
What a nimble shuttle car, like a fish, and so beautiful! "Zuo Tang was so excited that she was almost jumping up and down.
Zuo Tingyi didn't know what a fiery mayfly was, but he could guess roughly what it was. Seeing Zuo Tang so happy, his gloomy mood of the last few days couldn't help but brighten, "Ha ha, if you like it so much, do you want big brother to give you one?"
"Great, great!"
Zuo Tang looked as if she couldn't wait to fly, but she quickly frowned, "But, big brother, you can't buy a fiery mayfly."
Zuo Tingyi stretched out his hand to softly smooth Zuo Tang's frown, and said with a smile, "How can you not buy a shuttle car? Even if it's expensive, big brother will buy one for you, OK?"
"But … but …" Zuo Tang still wanted to say something, but was cut off by Zuo Tingyi, "Ok, ok, don't frown!
You'll get ugly.
Just leave it to big brother. "
Just then, a servant came forward, "Young master, the master has instructed that you should come to the study as soon as you return."
"Got it."
Zuo Tingyi's expression returned to its usual indifference, and he patted Zuo Tang's head with his right hand, and then walked over to his father's study.
Seeing the somewhat thin Zuo Tingyi, Zuo Tianlin's eyes flashed with concern, but his expression was still as calm as ever.
"You were looking for me?"
Zuo Tingyi asked respectfully. Because of his advancing years, he had already begun to gradually take over the family's affairs, since he was the next patriarch of the Zuo family.
"Mmmm.
Sit down. "Zuo Tianlin said warmly.
Zuo Tingyi sat upright, his back ramrod straight, waiting for his father's admonition.
"You've made great progress during this time."
Zuo Tianlin rarely praised his recent work, and seeing that Zuo Tingyi was still sitting upright with a calm expression, without the slightest bit of pride, he couldn't help but feel even more relieved.
After a short pause, he continued, "In the future, you will have less and less time to go to school.
I'm getting old. You have to learn to take over the family.
But from the looks of it, you're doing very well. "
"Yes." Zuo Tingyi answered with a slight bow.
"Oh, by the way, is there any news of Chen Mu?"
"Not yet."
"Okay, then you can go back to work."
Zuo Tingyi withdrew from the study, his mood as gloomy as the weather outside.
It was as if there was a heavy rock pressing down on his heart. Although he knew his fate a long time ago, he still couldn't let it go when the day really came.
He understood that although his father didn't talk to him about anything, the meaning behind his words was clear. It was time for him to say goodbye to school.
Zuo Tingyi's heart ached as he recalled his father's weariness when he had said he was old, and his mouth was full of astringency.
For the Zuo family, a card master wasn't as important as the future head of the Zuo family.
From the moment he was born, he had no choice.
He suddenly saw Zuo Tang skipping and playing in the courtyard, and his mood eased up quite a bit.
He dialed up Hong Tao's communications card. Ever since Hong Tao had been instructed by Wang Ze from Star Academy, he had been working even harder, training all day and all night.
As soon as Hong Tao got through, he yelled, "How long has it been since you last came to school, you bastard?
Wasn't this laziness a little too much?
You're from the disciplinary office. "
Zuo Tingyi's face was expressionless, "It's not like you don't know about my affairs."
Hong Tao stopped talking, since how could he not know about Zuo Tingyi's recent situation?
That was a problem that every child of a big family had to face, not to mention Zuo Tingyi, who had already been designated as the future clan elder.
"I say, you've framed Chen Mu too ruthlessly!
He helped us out once, after all. "Hong Tao had to change the subject, pretending to make a fuss about nothing.
Because Chen Mu's image had been on the arrest notice, Hong Tao and Zuo Tingyi had a deep impression of Chen Mu, who had stepped forward bravely with a stool, and recognized him at a glance.
Hong Tao didn't have the slightest intention of defending Chen Mu, since it wasn't worth offending the Zuo family over such a small matter.
He was only saying it as a joke.
"I've come to ask you to help me with something." Zuo Tingyi didn't pay attention to Hong Tao, and went straight to the point.
Hong Tao had a strange look on his face, "You actually need my help with something?
There are a lot of weird things happening today! "
"Tang Tang likes a shuttle car called the Fiery Mayfly, which is the one that Lin Feng has.
It's a modified car, and you can help me find out who made it and buy one. It doesn't matter if it's a little expensive.
I haven't had time to go to school lately. "Zuo Tingyi said calmly, while watching Zuo Tang, who was happily playing not far away.
"So it's our little princess who wants it!
No problem!
I'll take care of it! "
Hong Tao's chest was thumping loudly. Zuo Tang had always been loved by everyone, and Hong Tao had always spoiled her.
Having settled the matter, Zuo Tingyi withdrew his gaze, and walked forward with steady steps, since he still had a lot of things to do.
Hoo!
Chen Mu was sweating all over, as though he had just been fished out of the water.
Actually, he really had just been fished out of the water. "Swordfish training," oh no, it would be more accurate to call it "bubble fish training," was also in the water.
The strong water resistance in the water was giving Chen Mu a lot of pain.
Especially after a long period of training, that was especially obvious.
Since he had to mobilize his whole body's strength in the water, there wasn't a single part of his body that wasn't aching.
Without the demonic woman's guidance, he had to figure it out himself.
The dodging techniques that the demonic woman had taught him were combined with the techniques for exerting his strength in the water. But looking at it from the way things were going, he still needed a long period of effort.
It was a good thing that he hadn't thought from the beginning that it would be an easy challenge to complete.
The demonic woman still hadn't returned, and Chen Mu fell asleep in the dark after gazing out the window for a while.
The class was very lively, as though they were passionately discussing some topic. Walking to the door of the classroom, Chen Mu discovered a rare phenomenon.
For such a gang of fancy-pants to have such a high attendance rate so early in the morning was no different from the probability of the sun rising from the west.
When Chen Mu walked into the classroom, the noise in the classroom abruptly quieted, followed by silence. Their gazes all turned to him in unison.
Chen Mu was a little startled, and unconsciously took a look at himself. Everything was normal, with nothing out of the ordinary.
Under everyone's orderly gazes, Chen Mu's expression was the same as always, though he was very vigilant.
Step by step, Chen Mu's nerves were all taut, ready to react immediately if there was even the slightest sign of trouble.
It was as though the air had frozen, as Chen Mu carefully took each step, putting on an expression that was no different from his usual self.
From the door of the classroom to his seat, there were only a few steps, but Chen Mu felt that it was strangely long in that moment.
The atmosphere was really too weird!
Without realizing it, his back was already covered in a fine layer of sweat.
He was feeling guilty after all.
The classroom was still strangely quiet until he sat down.
The ones who broke the stifling silence were Phoenix and Ya Ya.
The two of them ran over to his seat, and Phoenix said excitedly, "Yao Ke!
You're too awesome. "
To the side, Ya Ya was looking at Chen Mu with twinkling eyes, as though she wanted to see something unusual about him.
"What is it?" Chen Mu asked, pretending to be calm. He still hadn't figured out the situation.
"You don't know?" Ya Ya was very surprised.
Chen Mu shook his head, "I don't know."
Carefully observing Chen Mu's expression, and feeling that he wasn't faking it, Ya Ya said, half believing and half doubting, "Spanner won the match yesterday!"
"Oh." Hearing that, Chen Mu felt that it wasn't anything bad, and he gradually relaxed.
"You're actually not excited at all?
How could you not be excited? "Ya Ya looked at Chen Mu as though she were looking at an alien.
Chen Mu was completely speechless.
Perhaps only this group of extremely poor and bored fellows would organize this so-called competition.
Only they would be bored to the point of getting excited over this so-called competition.
"Yes, yes!
How could you not be excited? "Phoenix was equally excited," We watched that match yesterday, and it was so wonderful!
You don't know how stupid those guys were after Spanner took the championship!
Ha ha!
That was great!
All the firepower was blocked by the energy cloak. "
"Oh." Chen Mu responded without being salty or light.
He was thoroughly relaxed, since it turned out that those people had been there because of that.
Then there wouldn't be any danger. Thinking back to his own reaction just then, he really had been a little extreme.
"Later we found out that Spanner's energy cloak card was actually made by you.
You're so awesome!
Spanner just came looking for you.
The prize for that match was ten million, and adding on the bets, Spanner made at least thirty million.
According to the rules, he had to give you a quarter.
Wow, that's almost eight million. I've never made that much money on my own since I was a kid. "Ya Ya was a little envious.
She wasn't envious because of the eight million, but because she thought it was awesome that Chen Mu could make so much money on his own.
"Eight million?" Chen Mu was shocked, since that was probably the largest sum of money he had ever heard.
But he wasn't greedy about the money, since he had used a three-star fantasy card to trade for the parallel composition from Spanner. That alone made him feel like he had made a profit.
That gang of people is burning money like crazy!
That was Chen Mu's second thought.
But it was limited to those two thoughts, and Chen Mu returned to normal.
No wonder those people had been looking at him a little weirdly. They were probably shocked by that eight million.
That was what Chen Mu was thinking.
