THE SEVENTH BASE

Chapter 296: Chapter 139 I’m Not a Hero_2 Chapter 296: Chapter 139 I’m Not a Hero_2 Who ruined my true love last time?

Scoundrels!

“Why are you coming to me if you’ve found true love?” Xu Mo asked.

“How did you chase the demoness?” Stark was curious, suspecting they must have done something shady without him knowing.

“Never chased her, just had a fight,” Xu Mo replied.

“Get lost…” Stark hung up.

After hanging up, Xu Mo sent a message to Zero.

“Demoness, I’ve made quite some progress.

Are you ready?”

“Waiting for you,” Zero replied.

Xu Mo wondered why she spoke so gently?

She couldn’t possibly have fallen for him, could she?

Sure enough, women still need to be fought.

After his trial ended, Xu Mo returned to Han Garden.

A guest had arrived today, Dean Nanming.

The two elders sat together quietly chatting.

This was the first time Xu Mo saw Dean Nanming out and about.

He had aged a lot since the last time he had seen him at the Nanming Family homestead, now with many white hairs.

Upon seeing Dean Nanming, Xu Mo wasn’t sure how to address him for a moment.

“Xu Mo is back,” Dean Nanming said with a calm smile.

“Yes.” Xu Mo noticed that Dean Nanming wasn’t only older, but his imposing aura had lessened, making him seem more like an ordinary old man.

The recent turmoil in Steel Dome City had clearly taken a toll on him.

In fact, he hadn’t done anything wrong, and Dean Nanming had always had a good relationship with his teacher.

However, Nan Mingyuan was his biological son, and this time it was a case of the sins of the son being paid by the father, as all Nan Mingyuan had done led to the spectacular downfall of the once-great Nanming World.

Xu Mo sighed inwardly.

“You and the teacher talk,” Xu Mo spoke up, then walked behind the old man.

Dean Nanming had mustered a lot of courage to come this time.

It was actually very hard for him to face Elder Tantai.

On one hand, because of the guilt, and on the other, because Tantai had killed his own son.

Although Nan Mingyuan brought it upon himself, it was, after all, still his son.

No one else could understand the complexity of his emotions, and it was impossible to say that he harbored no resentment at all; no one could do that.

But he also understood that, from Tantai’s standpoint, there was no reason not to kill him just because he was his son.

“I always used to mock you for being all alone, but now, your place is lively while mine is desolate,” Dean Nanming began, his voice melancholic.

No one was left by his side.

Perhaps, there really was a flaw in his way of raising his children.

“The same, they’re all leaving soon too,” Elder Tantai replied.

“When you get old, you eventually end up alone; young people have their own worlds.”

“That’s true,” Dean Nanming nodded.

“Are they all planning to go to the Capital?”

“Yes, all of them,” Elder Tantai nodded.

“Then we’re the same,” Dean Nanming said with a laugh, though his smile was bitter.

It was still different; his grandchildren had left without even saying goodbye.

Maybe they also harbored some resentment against him.

“After they leave, if you feel lonely, come talk to me,” Dean Nanming said.

“Sure,” Elder Tantai nodded.

“You too.”

“It’s getting late; I should head back,” Dean Nanming stood up.

“Let me see you out,” Elder Tantai also stood up and the two old men walked towards the exit.

He knew his old friend might never come again.

Xu Mo watched the backs of the two old men.

Though they walked together as if nothing had changed, everything had changed.

There was no going back.

When Dean Nanming was leaving, Xu Mo noticed his figure looked lonely.

“Xu Mo, maybe I should stay here and take care of the teacher,” Elsa said softly, looking at the old man’s receding figure.

She had overheard the two elders’ conversation and felt reluctant to leave Elder Tantai alone in Steel Dome City.

“Nonsense,” the Old Dean came back upon hearing Elsa.

“Didn’t Xu Mo already arrange everything?

He will see you off to the Capital’s Music Academy.

You and Mia can study together; it’s been your dream for a long time.”

“Yes,” Elsa sighed inwardly; it had always been her dream.

Xu Mo had mentioned that Stark would make all the necessary arrangements for the Capital.

The Music Academy was different from the Extraordinary Academy; it wasn’t as strict.

With Stark’s ‘Money Ability,’ getting them into the Music Academy wouldn’t be difficult.

“But teacher, you…” Elsa looked at the old man, unable to bear it.

“I’m fine, really.

The Noah Academy isn’t far from here; they can visit me from time to time,” the old man spoke.

“Teacher, won’t you consider coming with us?” Xu Mo asked.

“What would I do there?” the old man shook his head.

“I’m old and don’t have the energy for such things anymore; it’s time for me to enjoy my old age.

When you have children, bring them here to give this old man some joy.”

“Teacher, you’re thinking too far ahead,” Xu Mo said; he was still young!

“If you’re willing, it’s not that far off,” the old man said meaningfully, hinting that if this lad wanted to, there wouldn’t be a lack of girls willing.

Xu Mo felt slightly embarrassed.

“They’re about to depart at the academy; you should go too, don’t delay.

Don’t you want to see your girlfriend sooner?” the old man said to Xu Mo.

“Um…”

Xu Mo looked at the old man.

“Teacher, I’m not dating anyone,” Xu Mo said.

The old man gave him a knowing look, suggesting this disciple might not be able to handle that girl.
