After a long time, Mr. Simmons nodded and replied," Since you've come here to be a student, you should be mentally prepared to be one.
"My nephew asked me for this favor, so I'll naturally agree to it. Gilbert, go find a room for him. In the future, you'll be his senior. Remember to bring him along wherever you go."
Gilbert tried his best to control his expression that was about to sour. He let out a stiff smile and uttered," Don't worry, I'll take good care of him."
Even though he did his best to control his tone, Fane could still feel something amiss despite the plain nature of his words. He glanced at Gilbert.
Gilbert looked quite friendly, but Fane could feel a coldness behind that warm exterior. Gilbert was incredibly unhappy at Fane's arrival. It was as if Gilbert was afraid that Fane would steal his position.
That surprised Fane. Gilbert did not even give Fane a chance to speak before he raised his right hand and stood aside, inviting Fane elsewhere.
"Come with me, I'll arrange somewhere for you to stay. From today on, you'll be one of my fellow students in Heavenly Pills."
Fane nodded. After that, he turned to look at Chandler. Chandler let out a sigh before he nodded earnestly.
"I'll be leaving at noon tomorrow. Before I leave, I want to treat you to a meal. You mustn't refuse."
Chandler emphasized his words very heavily. Fane was still quite thankful to Chandler. Since Chandler was willing to treat him to a meal he would naturally not refuse it.
After nodding, he followed Gilbert. They went toward the back door of the hall. When Fane disappeared, Mr. Simmons turned around to look at Chandler.
