After Mo Fan returned home, all he could think of were the words Mu He had said. Those words appeared to be earnest and sincere, however, the disdain he had for the Mo Family, and toward himself, was very evident.

Can’t even become a Primary-level Magician?

“Your father, I, will make you eat those words!”

Mo Fan admitted there was a period of time where he and the Little Princess, Mu Ningxue, were very close with each other. However, the young him did not know what kind of disaster this would bring to his poverty-struck family. From that day on, Mo Fan finally realized that a social class difference existed.

“Mo Fan, hahaha! I have solved your problem! I gave a call to an old friend of mine, and it turns out he’s doing really well now. He is the chairman of Tian Lan Magic High. He said if you can diligently cultivate magic, then he could allow you to enter Tian Lan Magic High and let you awaken your Elemental Magic. This kind of opportunity only comes once in a lifetime, so you really need to do your best this time, alright? The yellow faced Mo Jiaxing entered the home with a smile, as he patted Mo Fan on his shoulders.

Mo Fan looked at his father’s joyous smile. If he was his normal self, he would also be happy and celebrate this by drinking a cup of white wine with his father. However, how could he still believe in his father's honest and bright laugh after knowing the truth? What made Mo Fan have even less faith in his respectable father was that no one else respected him in their society.

“Really? That’s really good! That’s definitely my dad; he fixes whatever issues come our way. Haha!” At last, Mo Fan finally wore a smiling face, as he reached his arms around his father's shoulders.

“Of course! Who do you think your father is?” Mo Jiaxing thought this kid’s bullshit was really well done, so the smile on his face grew increasingly wider.

The father and son still had a few cups left. While they were drinking, Mo Jiaxing tactfully said, “Mo Fan, you should live in the dorms. I’m planning on renting out the house so we can get a bit more money for ourselves.”

Mo Fan already knew that this house had basically been sold to Mu He. This lousy house holds no value in itself, however, the land is inside the city area so it’s price was very high.

“Alright, I’ll do that. I don’t come back very often anyway. It’s just... What about Xin Xia…” Mo Fan said as he pretended to not know the truth.

“Xin Xia is staying with your aunt. To be honest, it’s not easy for two men like us to take care of Xin Xia. That girl is very sensible, so there’s no need for us to worry about her,” Mo Jiaxing said. 

“In that case, I understand. Make sure you come and visit me often in school,” Mo Fan said.

“I will. Alright, I’m tired. I’ll head off to sleep first. You should go to school tomorrow,” Mo Jiaxing finished the last cup of white wine and stood up swaying.

Mo Fan saw him turn around. Seeing his back made him suddenly remember the article written by Zhu Ziqing.

I will live in school, and Xin Xia will stay with our aunt. We have found a place, but where is this man going to live?

Ultimately, Mo Fan didn’t bring up the issue.

In fact, Mo Jiaxing was willing to make these sacrifices because he believed it was the duty and honor of a father. He wanted to let his son know that he should study in peace, and that he would help him solve any issues that he couldn’t solve by himself.
