"Okay, son, don't send me away. I know where your class's classroom is. Don't you still want to practice martial arts? Go ahead and do your work."
As soon as he stepped into the door of Eighth High School, Ye Min said to Chen Mochuan next to him.
"Okay, Mom, I'll take the suitcase and backpack first. I'm practicing at school. You can call me after the parent-teacher meeting and we'll go home together."
Watching Chen Mochuan leave with his bag on his back, Ye Min walked straight towards a familiar teaching building.
As soon as she entered the teaching building, she saw the wall of honor standing in the center of the hall.
Ye Min I just took a casual glance and planned to walk by quickly, but I saw an extremely familiar name and stopped involuntarily.
I saw two carefully framed certificates hanging side by side in the most eye-catching position on the wall of honor.
Among them, the certificate of "City Light" Ye Min saw his son show it to him during a video call. It was an honor awarded by the government for Level Two Disaster's outstanding performance last week.
On the other "Advanced Individual for Bravery" certificate, in addition to a brief description of the commendation, the column of the commended person also has the words "Chen Mochuan" clearly written on it. It was signed in October last year and is stamped with the bright red seal of the Antu City police station.
"Last October... Mo Chuan never mentioned to us what happened to Ferocious Beast..."
Ye Min knew very well that the situation his son faced at that time must have been very dangerous, otherwise he would never have been awarded the honorary certificate.
"This brat..." A mixture of fear, distress and a little anger surged into Ye Min's heart, "Such a dangerous matter was kept secret from us without being disclosed to us!"
She took a deep breath and turned towards the stairwell.
As she climbed the stairs, the certificate was still lingering in her mind, and her heart was filled with worries about her son.
But as she walked, she remembered what her husband Chen Qingyang said to her today at the station, "If you don't experience actual combat to hunt and kill Ferocious Beast, then what's the point of practicing martial arts?"
At that time, she felt that her husband was big-hearted. Now that she thought about it carefully, she realized that although his words were straightforward, they pointed out a cruel reality.
Since Great Cataclysm six hundred years ago, Ferocious Beast and humans have been mortal enemies.
Martial Artist's lofty social status was forged by countless ancestors who have fought against Ferocious Beast and protected their homeland with their blood and lives over hundreds of years.
Flowers in the greenhouse can never withstand real wind and rain. If my son chooses the path of martial arts, he will have to face it sooner or later.
Thinking that his son was not only safe but also received a commendation for it, the anger in Ye Min's heart was gradually replaced by a complicated emotion.
There was concern, but more importantly there was a gradually clearer understanding and a hint of uncontrollable pride.
Her son is rapidly growing into a capable and responsible Martial Warrior in his own way.
She should trust him and also learn and accept being a Martial Warrior mother.
My mood gradually calmed down, and Ye Min's pace became brisk again.
Thinking about something on his mind, before he knew it, Ye Min had arrived at the door of the key class classroom of the Martial Arts Department, the third year of high school.
The head teacher Han Zhen was not in the classroom, but there were less than 10 minutes left before the parent-teacher meeting started, and there were only a few parents who had not arrived yet. Chen Mochuan had already told him where his seat was, and Ye Min found it easily.
Sitting down on the seat with the label [Chen Mochuan], Ye Min was just about to arrange his hair, but he vaguely noticed something strange.
There was some noise around her before she sat down, but now it seemed a little quieter, with several eyes drifting towards her vaguely.
When she turned her head to look, those eyes quickly moved away, but the low voices and occasional glances made her realize that she seemed to have become a focal point.
At this time, a well-dressed female parent across the aisle took the initiative to lean over and said with a smile, "Hello, are you Chen Mochuan's mother? I am Zhang Maoli's mother."
Ye Min nodded politely. "Hello."
"Oh, I finally see you." Zhang Maoli's mother said warmly, "I would like to take the liberty of asking you, what nutrients and supplements do you usually prepare for Chen Mochuan? Do you have any special recipes or training methods?"
Ye Min was stunned for a moment by the rapid-fire questions, and subconsciously replied, "Supplement... it used to be Blood Qi Supplement, but recently it was changed to Wuzheng Blood Essence Agent."
As for training, his dad and I have been on a business trip in recent months. We just came back today. We really don't care about him. He is practicing by himself. Sometimes we see him practicing too much and we are afraid of getting injured, so we ask him to practice less..."
Zhang Maoli's mother opened her eyes wide when she heard this and said with emotion, "It's really rare that your Chen Mochuan is so talented and can be so self-disciplined!"
As she said that, she sighed again, "Hey... My child takes a lot of supplements, but I have to keep an eye on him all the time when practicing martial arts, and the effect is good and bad... By the way, did Chen Mochuan also sign up for any special courses at the martial arts school? Or hired a famous personal trainer? The usual Ferocious Beast meat supply should be sufficient, right?"
After hearing this, and then looking at the surrounding parents who seemed to be doing their own thing, but were actually listening attentively, Ye Min completely understood that the other parents must be here because their son's grades improved too quickly, and wanted to learn from him. He felt extremely proud of his son, and felt a sense of pride and satisfaction. At the same time, he also reminded himself that he needed to be careful in his words and actions.
She kept a decent smile and replied, "I heard him say that he has been practicing at the Mingxin Martial Arts Hall in the past few months, and he practiced Tiger Fiend Fist there. It seems that he was recommended by his classmate. I don't know the specific situation... There should be no personal trainer... Ferocious Beast occasionally eats some meat."
After finally dealing with the enthusiastic Zhang Maoli mother, as well as several other parents around her who took the initiative to chat, Ye Min just secretly breathed a sigh of relief and prepared to wait quietly for the parent-teacher meeting to begin, when a coquettish voice came from the side.
"That...Chen Mochuan mother..."
Ye Min turned around and saw that it was the mother of her son, Liu Yu, who sat at the same table. The parent who had asked to change seats at the parent-teacher meeting at the end of last semester because she was dissatisfied that Chen Mochuan's grades had fallen too fast and affected her son's academic performance. However, the class teacher Han Zhen rejected this unreasonable request on the spot.
The other party had a smile on his face at the moment, but his eyes were a little evasive, "At the end of last semester... I changed seats at the end of last semester. I didn't think carefully about what I said. Please don't take it to heart."
Ye Min naturally remembered the words and deeds of the other party that made her extremely angry at the time. Now that time has passed, she looked at the other party's awkward appearance, and responded with a calm expression, "Oh, that matter, children are studying wherever they sit, and the past is over. I don't take it to heart."
After saying that, she turned back and said no more.
This gentle but distant attitude made all the more apologies and compliments Liu Yu's mother had prepared in advance choked in her throat. She could only sit upright, her face turning red and white, and her whole body felt uncomfortable.
But Ye Min felt a little strange in her heart. She had already seen how difficult and annoying Liu Yu's mother was, but now she was willing to bow her head and admit her mistakes. No matter how fast her son improved, he was only ranked third in the class. There was no way he would have allowed her to do this.
Besides, it's not just Liu Yu's mother, even other parents seem to be a little too enthusiastic today...
Before Ye Min could figure things out, the time had already reached three o'clock, and Han Zhen walked into the classroom stuck.
Not long ago, he learned from Lin Hong that Chen Mochuan had actually mastered Neutralizing Force, so he went to confirm and provide guidance in person. Seeing that the time for the parent-teacher conference was approaching, he rushed back as soon as possible.
After briefly summarizing the overall situation of the class this semester, Han Zhen went straight to the point and announced the highlight of this parent-teacher meeting - the final exam results.
All parents' eyes were focused on the huge projection screen in front of the classroom, quickly looking for their children's results.
Ye Min was no exception. She remembered that Chen Mochuan said that she got third place in the exam this time, so she looked directly at the third place on the transcript.
"Eh? Jiang Hao? This isn't Mo Chuan either..."
As soon as doubts arose in her mind, her eyes caught her son's name at the top of the report card.
