"Ah, hello, Mr. Dean, please sit down quickly."
After reacting, Grego, who had just returned home, quickly reached out and shook hands with the old man in front of him, then immediately invited the other party to sit down again.
Afterward, Grego also sat on the sofa. After glancing at the empty coffee table in front of him, he looked at his sister Dorothy beside him with a serious expression.
"Dorothy, Mr. Dean has come all this way for a home visit, and you're just sitting there idly? Hurry up and make some tea." With a slightly reproachful tone, Grego said to Dorothy.
"Eh... ah... oh..." Hearing Grego's words, Dorothy was first stunned, then immediately got up to the side to start making tea, while Grego turned his head to look at the old man on the sofa, saying with a smile.
"Excuse me, Mr. Dean, my sister and I are from the countryside, and we are not very clear about the proper etiquette. Please forgive us."
"Hehe, that's alright. I think etiquette is just external for a person, and it's not the most crucial thing." Hearing Grego's words, the old man also responded with a smile, and looked at Dorothy, who was making tea beside him, with an interested gaze, while Dorothy also secretly stared back at him.
Finally, Dorothy handed the brewed tea to Grego and the old man. The old man nodded slightly after taking a sip, while Grego on the side said somewhat nervously.
"Mr... um... Mr. Dean, you are here this time for Dorothy's matter. May I ask if she has done something bad at school... um... or if there is any problem with her usual performance?"
"Hehe, Mr. Mesi Horse is worrying too much. Miss Meisihuos is doing very well at school. She is a very excellent student." Saying that, the old man glanced at Dorothy again, and then continued to speak with a smile.
"Miss Meisihuos loves to study at school on weekdays, is diligent and progressive, respects her teachers and elders, cares for her classmates, attends classes on time every day, is never late, and even takes the lead in cleaning the school's Church with her classmates, being pious and obedient to the divine. Let's put it this way, Miss Meisihuos is the most excellent student I have ever seen in my many years of teaching, both in terms of talent and character. She is a genius!"
The old man said these words with a calm gaze and a relaxed demeanor. After hearing his words, the anxiety on Grego's face was swept away, and he beamed with joy, while Dorothy turned her head away and scratched the goosebumps on her arm.
"Oh... Thank you, all saints, I didn't expect Dorothy to be so excellent! Our late father once said that our mother was very smart, Dorothy, I think you must have inherited more of her blood. Keep it up, Dorothy, you will definitely achieve great things in the future!"
After hearing the old man's words, Grego couldn't help but say to Dorothy loudly with inner joy, while Dorothy, with increasing goosebumps, responded with a smile.
"Ahaha... I just did what I should do."
Grego, in a good mood, looked at the old man again, and then continued to speak with a smile.
"As Dorothy's parent, I sincerely thank Mr. Dean and the entire school for your cultivation. If I have time in the future, I will personally go to the school to express my gratitude."
"There's no need to come in person, Mr. Mesi Horse, I think in a short while, Miss Meisihuos will not need to attend Saint Amanda School anymore." The old man continued to say to Grego, hearing the old man's words, Grego couldn't help but be stunned.
"Dorothy doesn't need to attend school anymore... Mr. Dean, what do you mean? Did Dorothy cause some great trouble?" Grego asked worriedly, while the old man smiled reassuringly and replied.
"No, no, I said before that Miss Meisihuos is doing very well, but it's because she is too good, so good that the Mr. Dean thinks that it would be a waste of her talent if she continues to stay at Saint Amanda School and continue to study at Igwinte. Miss Meisihuos should enjoy a better and more complete educational environment."
"A better... more complete educational environment..." Hearing the old man's words, Grego couldn't help but be a little stunned, while the old man explained with a smile.
"I heard from Miss Meisihuos that she wants to go to university, and with her aptitude, I think she can get into the best university in the Kingdom. As long as she has a better educational environment, she can easily do this."
Our education at Saint Amanda School is certainly good, but it is by no means the best. In order not to bury talent, we recommend Miss Meisihuos to go to Tivian and transfer to a more excellent school there to study. We will write a recommendation letter for her so that she has the qualification for admission."
After the old man finished speaking, he fell silent, waiting for Grego's reaction. Grego stood there in a daze, and it took him a long time to slowly open his mouth and reply.
"What... You, you mean Dorothy, she, she can transfer to Tivian, go to a better school there to study, and you will write a recommendation letter for her to get admission qualifications?"
"That's right, but all of this is just our suggestion for now, the decision is still in your hands as a parent, Mr. Mesi Horse, do you agree to Miss Meisihuos going to a distant place to study?"
"Of course I agree!"
Grego immediately replied in a loud and straightforward voice. At this moment, his heart was incredibly surging with joy.
...
At dusk, at the end of Nanyang Flower Road.
Under the setting sun, after refusing Grego's invitation to dinner, Aldrich, in a well-fitting suit, slowly walked on the street. Beside him was Dorothy, who had come to see him off.
"You have a brother who cares about you very much, why don't you try to be more open with him?" As he walked, Aldrich said, while Dorothy replied directly.
"To avoid being restrained, if Grego knew I was researching the mysterious, he would probably try every means to persuade me to give up, so it's better to keep it a secret."
"Hehe... It's good to have family around, cherish it more." After a slight sigh, Aldrich paused slightly, then looked at Dorothy and continued to speak.
"The letter has been written for you, and your brother has also arranged everything properly, you can go to Tivian with peace of mind, we are both leaving this city."
"You're leaving too?"
"Yes, since my whereabouts have been discovered by Captain Deer Skull, it's time to leave. Captain Deer Skull lost a cursed Stone clone this time, and his strength has been damaged. I can take this opportunity to go on a trip and find a way to restore my strength."
"You can keep the favor I owe you until you want to use it, then use this to notify me."
Saying that, Aldrich took something out of his pocket and handed it to Dorothy. After Dorothy took it, she found that it was a exquisite small owl sculpture.
"The method of use is to tap its head five times in a row. Also, note that the favor you ask me for should not exceed the limit of my ability at that time, and it is best not to openly oppose any major forces."
Aldrich said this. This time, he did not plan to find another long-term hiding place, but instead began to explore ways to restore his own strength.
"Then I wish you good luck." Putting away the small Stone sculpture, stopping her steps, Dorothy spoke to Aldrich, while Aldrich continued to walk forward.
"May good luck also favor you, we will meet again, Miss Meisihuos."
Saying that, Aldrich walked towards the distance in the sunset, gradually disappearing from Dorothy's sight.
