When Ye Fan returned to the courtyard gate, he happened to see Hanabi Hyuga and Ko Hyuga waiting there.
Hanabi Hyuga had been playing with her pet Little Squirrel, but the moment she saw Ye Fan approaching, she immediately went up to him.
"Senior Ye Fan!"
"Hanabi, have you been waiting here long?"
Ye Fan was not too surprised that Hanabi Hyuga had returned, but Ko Hyuga's resentful look beside her caught him off guard.
Shaking her head, Hanabi Hyuga asked, "Senior Ye Fan, has the investigation ended?"
"Teacher Kurenai Yuhi is still examining the scene, but there's nothing left for me to do."
Ye Fan smiled, then led Hanabi Hyuga and Ko Hyuga into the courtyard.
Hanabi Hyuga placed the little fellow on her shoulder and asked curiously,
"Senior Ye Fan, does White Cloud have any other family or companions?"
"I don't think so. This little fellow has had a hard life these past few years, but things are better now. It has you as its little master, so its life will become much more enjoyable from now on."
Ye Fan studied the little fellow Hanabi treasured so dearly and spoke softly.
At that moment, the little fellow was looking at him with a pair of bright black eyes, looking exceptionally adorable.
"Senior Ye Fan, I'll definitely treat White Cloud well and never let it suffer again!" Hanabi Hyuga said with a serious expression.
This was the first pet she had ever had in her life!
Not only was it so adorable, it was also intelligent. More importantly, it had been a gift from Senior Ye Fan.
"White Cloud, remember to protect your little master too!" Ye Fan said to the little fellow with a smile.
The Little Squirrel seemed to understand. It stood upright and chirped twice.
