Chapter 405: Will Definitely Nurture Them Well!
“Family Head, Family Head!”
A series of hurried footsteps rang outside the door. At the next moment, a profusely-sweating young servant ran in.
Before Lou Jinglei could reprimand him for entering, he hurriedly said, “Family Head! A teacher from the Imperial Academy has come to visit!”
“Huh?” The coldness and the fury in Lou Jinglei’s eyes suddenly subsided.
He froze for a while, then his expression changed. He hurriedly looked at the young servant and asked, “Do you know why he’s here? Quickly invite him in.”
“I don’t know the reason. However, Steward Lou has brought him over. I’m here to inform you in advance.”
“Alright, I know. You can go.”
After the young servant left, Lou Jinglei’s gaze shifted back to Lou Potian, Lou Xiaoxiao, and the others again.
These people... Should I kill them? Or spare them?
Regardless of the choice I make, it’s a troublesome matter.
He felt vexed as he frowned. “Forget it. You all leave first. I’ll call for you again if there’s any matter.”
“Yes, Family Head.”
All of them left one after another. Leng Qianhan remained guarded even until the last moment before leaving.
Upon leaving the main hall, the juniors from Qingyun City wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads. “I don’t know why I obviously felt very cold just now, and even broke out in a sweat.”
Lou Potian looked solemn. Lou Xiaoxiao also frowned.
Leng Qianhan glanced at Lou Potian and calmly said, “There was a murderous aura just now.”
All of them paused in their footsteps. The expressions of the juniors from the Lou family suddenly changed, and they became silent.
Lou Potian let out a sigh. “Could it be that he knows about the matter regarding the Broken Seal Pills? And blames us for not sharing with him?”
As he spoke, he shook his head again. “We’re no longer what we used to be. We’ll just leave if things really don’t work out.
“However, no matter what, you all better not act alone during these few days. Regardless of where you want to go, tell me or Young Master Leng in advance, alright?”
“Yes.”
The few of them slowly left.

On the other side, the Imperial Academy teacher overseeing the admission met Lou Jinglei with Steward Lou leading the way.
“Head Lou.” The teacher had white hair and a white beard, and he looked very kind. “I’m Mo Ci, a first-class teacher from the Imperial Academy. I’ve come here to deliver a letter for the Third Royal Highness.”
“We welcome Teacher Mo here. Your presence really brings light to my humble dwelling! Teacher Mo, sit, please sit.”
“Head Lou is too polite.” A smile appeared on Teacher Mo’s face. “My main aim for coming to Fengyang prefecture this time is to enroll students. I did not visit earlier as I was afraid of gossip. I hope that you understand.”
“It’s alright, it’s alright. It’s important to handle proper business.” Lou Jinglei personally poured the tea for Teacher Mo.
As Teacher Mo held his beard, he nodded and said, “Speaking of the recruitment this time, your mansion really gave me an eye-opener. You’re really skillful in teaching and providing guidance. Not only did you teach a genius like Lou Shuhang, but you also taught Lou Xiaoxiao and Ye Zhuixun, who belong to a category of wizards...”
Lou Jinglei’s smiling face gradually stiffened.
Teacher Mo could not spot this and continued, “I foresee that one day, who knows, they may surpass the teacher. Even surpassing Lou Shuhang is also not a problem for them...”
Damn, who wants them to surpass Lou Shuhang!
Lou Jinglei’s face distorted for a moment, but he hurriedly smiled and said, “Haha, I hope that these fellows will live up to your expectations.”
Teacher Mo’s expression changed, and he seriously looked at him. “Head Lou, don’t worry. I’ll definitely not miss my chance with such fine talents. After they attend the Imperial Academy, I’ll nurture them well. In this way, I won’t bring disgrace to their outstanding talents.”
Lou Jinglei’s mood became complicated. He felt proud but also aggrieved at the same time. After being silent for a while, he said, “Thank you, Teacher Mo.”
