At this moment, Shen Zhiyuan said, "Uncle, please rest assured. Now that I have accepted the embroidered ball, I will take responsibility."
Zhou Dafu seemed tired, waving his hand and saying, "No need, let's just let this matter drop once things have calmed down."
He has a lovely daughter; he can afford to raise her himself.
At worst, he can find someone better and then hold the wedding banquet. I don't think anyone will gossip about that then.
Ah Li asked, "So, what brings you to Liangzhou this time?"
Shen Zhiyuan looked at Ali seriously and said, "The reason I came to Liangzhou this time is to ask my uncle to help me get a recommendation so that Xiaofei can study at Wanqing Academy."
At this moment, Shen Zhixing coaxed Shen Fei to take off his hat. Shen Fei seemed to have some concerns and slowly took off the hat he was wearing.
A pair of dark blue eyes and a head of dark brown hair appeared.
Chow Tai Fook exclaimed in surprise, "Persians?"
Shen Zhiyuan nodded and said, "Shen Fei is indeed the child of my sworn brother and a Persian woman."
Zhou Dafu tilted his head and looked at the very handsome child, then waved to him, "Come here, kid."
Shen Fei glanced at Shen Zhiyuan, and only after Shen Zhiyuan nodded did Shen Fei step forward.
Zhou Dafu looked at the child carefully and said, "No wonder he's wearing a black cloak; he looks really good like that."
Shen Fei secretly observed Zhou Dafu's expression. This man had neither said that he was a foreigner nor that he was a monster.
Ah Li chimed in, "Father, could you please speak to the Master on my behalf?"
The old master of Wanqing Academy was the tutor of four emperors.
Later, after retiring from his official post, he returned to his hometown and founded the Wanqing Academy in Liangzhou.
Zhou Dafu glanced at Ali with annoyance and said, "What's so difficult about that? I'll go and talk to them myself when the time comes."
Shen Zhiyuan smiled, and Shen Zhixing hadn't expected Zhou Dafu to agree so readily.
"Thank you, Uncle Zhou."
Shen Zhiyuan and Shen Zhixing said in unison.
"Don't thank me too soon."
Zhou Dafu also had conditions. He changed the subject, saying, "We must never mention the embroidered ball incident again."
Shen Zhiyuan and Shen Zhixing exchanged a glance, then looked at Ah Li, and both said, "Okay."
Shen Fei also looked at Ah Li; this sister wasn't ugly at all.
Ahri kept smiling. Was she being disliked?
And so, Shen Zhiyuan, Shen Zhixing, and Shen Fei stayed at the Zhou residence.
Chow Tai Fook sometimes lets Shen Zhiyuan and Ah Li go out for walks together, so that people can see that they are now cultivating their relationship.
Of course, getting married is impossible.
This is just a show, a formality, to avoid people immediately realizing that the wedding ball-throwing contest was a farce.
Shen Fei practiced calligraphy, read books and recited poems at the Zhou residence, and Shen Zhixing would sometimes teach him martial arts.
Soon, Wanqing Academy will be open for the new semester.
Zhou Dafu led Ali, Shen Zhiyuan, Shen Zhixing, and Shen Fei to Wanqing Academy.
Inside the academy, I wonder how Zhou Dafu and the old master discussed it.
When Zhou Dafu came out, Shen Fei had already become a student of Wanqing Academy.
Zhou Dafu also said to Ali, "You've studied at Wanqing Academy for so many years, so you'll have to take good care of this child in the future."
Ah Li nodded and replied, "I know, Father."
Shen Zhiyuan and Shen Zhixing pulled Shen Fei aside and said, "From now on, you must be obedient. If you have any problems, go to Miss Zhou. If she can't solve them, then send us a message."
With tears welling up in his eyes, Shen Fei agreed. Shen Zhiyuan and Shen Zhixing watched as Shen Fei and Ali entered the academy.
Soon, school officially started.
Ahri also obediently attended class, ignoring everything else.
Those around Qin Tianming remarked, "Has this person changed his personality?"
"I'm not bothering you anymore."
Qin Tianming held the scroll, glanced at Ah Li, and then looked away, saying, "She's let it go, so don't mention it again."
"You've let it go?"
Those around Qin Tianming were not quite sure how he could tell.
Qin Tianming didn't explain, and continued reading the book in his hands.
Ah Li went to find Shen Fei after class to take some people out for dinner.
However, when she saw Shen Fei covered in dirty ink, she was furious. She walked up to Shen Fei and asked, "Who did this?"
Shen Fei felt a little wronged, but he kept his head down and didn't say anything.
He was already used to it. Even before he arrived at Eagle Fortress, people had been isolating and bullying him because of the color of his eyes and hair.
When he arrived at Eagle Fortress, the situation improved somewhat, but there were still people who bullied him.
Shen Zhiyuan and Shen Zhixing are both people with important things to do, and it is impossible for them to take care of him all the time.
So when he was bullied, he could only hide away and didn't dare to tell anyone.
Seeing Shen Fei like this, Ah Li sighed and said, "Shen Fei, don't be afraid, I will help you."
Ah Li didn't know why Shen Zhiyuan insisted on sending Shen Fei to Wanqing Academy, but now that Shen Fei was hers, she couldn't let anyone bully him.
Ah Li pulled Shen Fei along to his Xuan class.
Wanqing Academy is divided into four levels: Heaven, Earth, Black, and Yellow.
The Yellow Class is for children aged five to eight, the Mysterious Class is for children aged nine to twelve, the Earth Class is for children aged thirteen to sixteen, and the Heaven Class is for children aged seventeen to twenty.
When Ah Li arrived at Xuan Class, she stood at the door and asked, "Who bullied Shen Fei? Step forward!"
The professor in charge of the Xuan class was a woman. She was there too, and she came over to Ah Li and said, "Zhou Li, what are you doing?"
