Huo Yao saw how hesitant Yi Lianfan looked and found it to be odd, so she asked him directly. "Speak up."
Yi Lianfan leaned against the corridor railing quietly for an entire minute before he said succinctly, "Grandpa wants to take you in as his disciple."
Huo Yao's lips twitched. Had the old man not given up yet?
Yi Lianfan coughed gently. He spoke softly to the god-like prodigy. "Don't feel pressurized. Just give it some thought."
Huo Yao went quiet briefly before she replied. "Got it. I will talk to your grandfather about it."
"Uh huh. I'm off. See you tonight," said Yi Lianfan before he glanced at her and left.
Huo Yao walked back to the classroom. Shortly after she sat down, her phone vibrated in her pocket, so she pulled it out.
It was a text message from Lei Xiao.
[Did you receive my message last night? Otherwise, I can send it again.]
