Chapter 196 Xu Huai Seeks Out Su Qing
"Ah Huai, it's me."

Upon receiving the call from his father, Xu Huai eagerly pressed the answer button.

"How did it go? Is everything settled?"

Ever since Shen Baisu took Lin Xiaoran away in front of Xu Huai and his son, Xu Huai had been waiting for his father's call. Now, more than a week later, Xu Huai finally received his father's call.

After the call connected, Xu Huai couldn't wait to ask about the matter he cared about most.

After Xu Huai finished asking his question, there was no response from Xu's father for a long time. Seeing this, Xu Huai felt a sense of unease.

His face instantly darkened. "The matter wasn't accomplished, was it?"

Xu's father: "Yes, yes, Dad is sorry."

Upon hearing this final announcement, Xu Huai's expression grew increasingly grim. "Didn't you go to see my mother? How come you can't even handle something this simple?"

Xu Huai's tone was full of accusation, but Xu's father didn't get angry at all in the face of such a tone. He even kept apologizing, "It's my fault for being useless."

“Your mother and her family moved recently. I haven’t found their new address yet, but don’t worry, I’m already looking for it. Once I find it, I’ll definitely get it done.”

"Of course, if we can't find their address, isn't that brat still at Yao Nong University?"

"Keep a close eye on her whereabouts. Once she's alone, I'll go find her again. If she dares to refuse again this time, I'll beat her to death."

Xu's father said a lot at once, but Xu Huai was getting a little impatient. "Alright, let's leave it at that for now. You go and talk to Mom again, and I'll try to figure something out myself."

Mr. Xu replied repeatedly, "Okay, okay, then you..."

"Bye."

Before Xu's father could finish speaking, Xu Huai hung up the phone.

During the call, he kept walking towards the teaching building called Yuxian Building, and now he has reached the bottom of the building.

He was waiting for someone here, and just then, the person he was waiting for appeared. So he hurriedly hung up the phone and strode towards the person who had just come out of the building.

"Teacher Su Qing!"

"Are you Ms. Su Qing?"

Su Qing, who had just come out of the teaching building, stopped instinctively when she heard someone call her name. Mu Ye, who had come downstairs with her, also stopped and looked at Xu Huai.

"Who are you?" Su Qing looked at Xu Huai with a puzzled expression.

"Hello, my name is Xu Huai." Xu Huai immediately introduced himself to Su Qing.

Su Qing felt the name sounded familiar, but couldn't quite place where she had heard it before.

"Xu Huai? Is there something you need from me?" Tilting her head and thinking for a while, but still unable to recall who Xu Huai was, Su Qing had no choice but to ask Xu Huai why he had come to see her.

Xu Huai: "Hello, I am a graduate student from the College of Plant Medicine."

Su Qing nodded slightly. So she was a graduate student. She could guess why the other person was looking for her.

Sure enough, Xu Huai's next sentence confirmed her guess: "I heard that many students in the academy are learning from you how to promote plant growth and cure plants. I missed the registration because I wasn't at school. I wonder if I could join as well, teacher."

"Don't worry, I can audit the class, or you can give me some materials so I can study on my own."

"Please, teacher."

Seeing this, Su Qing was somewhat troubled. Xu Huai's sudden approach to her was a bit presumptuous, but his attitude was very sincere, and he seemed to be humbly seeking advice, which made Su Qing waver.

After staring at Xu Huai in silence for a moment, Su Qing said, "I don't accept just anyone as a student. There are two tests before I accept you. If you can pass both tests, I will let you study with me for a period of time."

"After your probationary period, I will assign you to a class based on your performance."

Upon hearing Su Qing's words, Xu Huai's expression instantly lit up. "Really? Really?"

"No problem, I will definitely test it carefully."

"However, may I ask what the test is about first?"

Su Qing: "One test measures talent, and the other measures character."

Xu Huai found Su Qing's answer intriguing. He didn't quite understand how talent and temperament could be tested, but since Su Qing had brought it up, she must have her method. So he didn't ask any further questions, only inquiring about the testing time.

"Okay, I understand. When can I take the test?"

After pondering for a moment, Su Qing said, "If you want to enroll as soon as possible, I can take you to take the test now."

Upon hearing this, Xu Huai nodded repeatedly, "Okay, thank you in advance, Teacher Su Qing."

Xu Huai felt that tests of talent and temperament were unnecessary to prepare for; the sooner he completed the tests, the sooner he could enroll in school. Therefore, he naturally wanted to complete the tests now.

Su Qing didn't say anything more, but instead said, "Let's go, come with me to the council building, we'll go there to get tested."

Xu Huai nodded and followed.

Mu Ye stood by and watched the whole time. He disliked Xu Huai, but he didn't say much until Su Qing started leading Xu Huai toward the council building. Only then did Mu Ye catch up with Su Qing and ask her, "Master, are we going to the council building to find Junior Uncle?"

Su Qing nodded, then shook her head.

"Indeed, we went to see her. The test ball was also placed in the council building, so we took Xu Huai there to do the test."

After listening, Kiya nodded knowingly, "I see."

Xu Huai followed behind the two, and as he overheard their conversation, he became increasingly curious.

I have many questions in my mind.

What is the test ball? And who is this "junior uncle" the boy is talking about?

However, in any case, the people and things that can appear in the council building are certainly not simple.

Driven by his curiosity, Xu Huai unconsciously quickened his pace.

Originally, Xu Huai was following behind Su Qing, about a meter away from her, but he quickened his pace and immediately closed the distance between them.

Seeing this, Mu Ye was displeased, so he silently stepped between the two.

He turned to look at Xu Huai, and seeing his curious expression, asked, "You just mentioned that you're a graduate student at the College of Plant Medicine. I also know a graduate student at the College of Plant Medicine named Lin Xiaoran. Do you know her?"

As soon as Mu Ye asked the question, Xu Huai stopped in his tracks. However, after only a moment, he forced a smile and said to Mu Ye, "I know him, but we're not very close."

Mu Ye felt that his reaction was a bit off, but she didn't think much of it and just said, "It's okay if you're not familiar with her yet. You'll get to know her later. She teaches all the students at the Plant Medicine College. If you pass the test, I'll ask my master to assign you to her class."

Xu Huai: "...?"

Go to Lin Xiaoran's class?
