Chapter 268: Spatial Ranch (2)_1
Xiao Muli didn’t return when the school opened and it was time for registration. Situ Xin was a bit worried, wondering if something had happened to Xiao Muli because during their previous phone call, Xiao Muli had assuredly said that he would return for the start of school.
Situ Xin didn’t have Xiao Muli’s phone number and was unable to contact Xiao Muli.
Meanwhile, Xiao Muli had spent the past few days in the Xiao Family’s rigorous study sessions. Just before school was about to start, Elder Master Xiao suddenly told Muli that to agree to let him return to school, Muli had to complete his study of the knowledge required by the Patriarch of the Xiao Family before leaving.
If Muli failed to complete his studies, he would lose his eligibility to compete for the position of Family Head.
When Elder Master Xiao spoke these words, Old Master Xiao stood to the side with a complex look in his eyes as he gazed at his elder brother.
He couldn’t fathom what Elder Master Xiao meant. Previously, Muli had been very determined to return and complete his education. Although Elder Master Xiao hadn’t explicitly agreed, both Old Master Xiao and Muli took his silence as consent.
Moreover, if there had been any disagreement or conditions, they should have been mentioned then. Now, with only a few days left before Muli’s school opening, such a condition was being imposed.
This caused Old Master Xiao to speculate whether his elder brother had changed his mind, feeling that their return for the competition was an inconvenience.
