When Dugu Bo saw that Bai Shu remained silent, he could only probe cautiously, "Then... Young Master, should I go bring them back now?"
"No need." Bai Shu waved a hand.
"Since they've already gone, let them study there properly. The academy's teachings are more comprehensive, after all, and it has a mimic cultivation environment. Staying there isn't a bad thing."
At this point, Bai Shu paused, as though he had thought of something. A hint of helplessness appeared in his eyes. "Still, have someone keep a closer eye on them."
Dugu Bo froze. "Young Master, are you worried they'll be bullied by those noble children at the academy?"
Bai Shu glanced at him, his expression becoming somewhat strange. "I'm worried those nobles who enjoy courting death will get beaten to death by them."
The corner of Dugu Bo's mouth twitched. He had wanted to say that Bai Shu was exaggerating, but when he thought of Xiao Wu's usual behavior, if some blind young master or miss provoked her, they would certainly be in for a vicious beating.
"Rest assured, Young Master." Dugu Bo gave a light cough and said seriously, "Dai Hua has been watching over them in secret. Even if someone truly seeks death, he'll stop them before anyone gets killed."
"That's good." Bai Shu nodded.
For Xiao Wu and the others, entering the academy, interacting and competing with Spirit Masters their own age, and occasionally causing a little trouble were all good things. After all, once a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast took human form, it needed to meet enough people in order to grow.
Afterward, Bai Shu gave Dugu Bo a few more instructions concerning the manor before turning and leaving, returning alone to his room.
As the door shut, the sounds outside were immediately cut off.
