With the help of this spy, Baiyi's plan was carried out perfectly. As a reward, Baiyi further relaxed the restrictions on the old man's body, allowing him to regain his Master-level powers.
"Now, you have two choices. You can stay with the Duke. With your Master-level powers and Immortal-level experience, I'm sure you'll be able to make a name for yourself. Or, you can leave on your own. I'm sure it won't be too hard for you to survive," Baiyi said in a low voice.
"If your promise is still valid, then I'm willing to continue working for you," the old man replied sincerely.
His real identity was that of a wandering sorcerer who was wanted by the Duke. After he was recruited by the Duke, he served as Vidomina's bodyguard for a period of time. It was obvious that the Duke trusted him quite a bit. In return, when Baiyi asked for his help, he requested that the Duke's safety not be harmed. Naturally, Baiyi agreed to his request, and the Duke, who was on the brink of death, was brought back to life by the Duke in a special way.
"Of course I'm keeping my promise. I'm only asking him for some money. I won't take his life. Otherwise, I wouldn't have saved him this time. Don't worry," Baiyi replied.
The old man nodded slightly. He could not care less about the Duke's wealth. Recovering his powers was more important. After all, the Duke did not lack money.
"Then, you can stay here and wait for my next arrangements," Baiyi said, preparing to return to the carriage before Vidomina returned.
"Um … Master Hope … I have one more request," the old man said from behind. "If it's possible, please treat Miss Vidomina well. She's a kind girl, and she doesn't have the bad habits of those noble ladies. Besides, she's still young. Could you please not do anything to her?"
When the old man was Vidomina's bodyguard, the two of them had developed a sincere friendship. However, after the old man lost his power, he never dared to meet Vidomina again. This time, when he became the Duke's coachman, he had disguised himself with a large felt hat. The old man's opinion was worth acknowledging.
"What do you mean by 'do something to her'? Am I that kind of person? Why would you think that? "Baiyi asked, annoyed.
"Rumor has it that you like young and beautiful girls and don't allow them to interact with the opposite sex … Of course, I believe that you're not that kind of pervert," the old man explained softly.
Then what nonsense did you spout before? Who wouldn't like a young, obedient, and cute girl? Wasn't this human nature? And when did I forbid them from coming into contact with the opposite sex! It's just that I haven't met the opposite sex that's outstanding enough! Baiyi cursed under his breath as he returned to the carriage.
A few moments later, Vidomina returned with a waiter from the pastry shop. The waiter was holding a large pile of boxes in his hands. It seemed that the girl had prepared a gift for every student.
Well, at least in this aspect, this child was the most thoughtful among all the students. She was a level ahead of Mia and the others when it came to choosing gifts. Look at Vidomina's gift, then look at Mia's gift. What green cape? What decorative feather? What animal piggy bank? What do you mean a kiss and a kiss is considered a gift? You can't even compete on the same stage!
But in the end … Vidomina, who had not slept all night and was exhausted from crying, fell asleep the moment she sat in the carriage from the Sorcerer's Association back to the mansion. The coachman refused to help carry the large pile of pastries, so Baiyi had to use his mana to hover the large pile of pastries in the air and carry them home by himself. It looked like an acrobat.
When he opened the door and reached home, the students were gathered in the living room, doing their homework. They did not go out to play. They were very obedient. If only they could be this obedient in the future without Baiyi giving them a lot of homework.
When the students saw Baiyi, they crowded around him and looked at Vidomina, who was curled up in his arms, strangely.
"A lot has happened. Let's go back to her room," Baiyi said, facing a series of concerned gazes.
After a while, Vidomina returned to her bed. Attie handed her a warm towel, and Mia took it and carefully wiped away the tears on Vidomina's face. Looking at Vidomina's swollen eyes, Mia said worriedly, "She must have been crying her heart out …"
Attie, who was lying on the edge of the bed, turned around and asked, "Did you spank her, Master?"
"Well, it's like this. Since it's a private matter, I'll only tell you the gist of it …" Baiyi began to narrate his experience at the Wright Manor, leaving out some of the more confidential details.
The students listened attentively to Vidomina's story. Mia, Attie, and Nota the fairy leaned on the edge of the bed, while Tisdale and Laeticia stood behind Baiyi. The fox perched on top of the owl's head, and the sunflower began to dance a strange dance on top of Vidomina's bedside table. The sunflower explained that the dance was a way to relax people's minds.
By the time Vidomina finished her story, the girls could not help but feel sorry for her. Tears welled up in their eyes, and Mia even stuffed the hammerhead shark plushie into Vidomina's arms so that she would feel better when she hugged it to sleep. The fox stuck out its tongue and gently licked Vidomina's face as if trying to comfort her.
As a result, Vidomina woke up after being licked. When she opened her eyes, she saw that everyone was looking at her with concern. She immediately guessed what had happened. She quickly smiled bitterly and said, "Thank you for your concern, everyone. I'm fine." Then, she noticed the hammerhead shark plushie in her arms, and she exclaimed, "Whoa! Sharkie! Sharkie! "She rubbed her face against the plushie.
Mia, who was beside her, asked, "So … Vidomina, what are you going to do from now on?"
"I'm going to live with Godfather, right? Maybe when I grow up, I'll find a reliable man to marry? " Vidomina replied casually. It was obvious that she did not have any specific plans for her future.
However, Tisdale caught the change in the way Vidomina addressed Baiyi, and she asked, "Vidomina, did you just call Teacher 'Godfather'?"
"Yes. My father passed me to Godfather, so I thought I'd change to a more intimate form of address," Vidomina explained, and she gave Baiyi a meaningful look.
"Hmm … That's so sly … Oh, no, it's a good idea …" Tisdale muttered under her breath, and she turned to look at Baiyi, who was gently stroking Vidomina's head. Her mind began to wander again.
'I only have Teacher now, and that's my only family … What should I call him?' As the girl began to ponder in her heart, Baiyi called for everyone to leave the room so that Vidomina could have a good sleep. Tisdale walked at the back of the group and waited for Baiyi to turn around and close the door. Suddenly, she called out softly from behind him, "Daddy …"
Suddenly, Baiyi froze. His hand that was holding the doorknob had accidentally crushed the wooden doorknob into pieces.
"W-what did you just call me?" Blankly, Baiyi turned his head around and looked at Tisdale who had her head lowered and was clutching the hem of her short skirt tightly. She was probably very nervous because the veins on her hands that were gripping the hem of her skirt were visible. The angle of her grip was so big that Baiyi almost saw her private area that was tightly wrapped by her black tights.
"I-can't I?" Tisdale asked in a voice as low as a mosquito's. Tears were welling up in her eyes, and she was ready to burst into tears. "Vidomina already called you 'Godfather' …"
Baiyi quickly reached out and pulled Tisdale into his arms, letting her chin rest on his shoulder. Gently stroking her back, he comforted her, "Don't be too bothered by the title, my student. The feelings and connection between us should not fade just because of a title, don't you think so?"
Tisdale nodded dumbly. She did not really understand what Baiyi was trying to say.
"That's why I said, there's no need to change the way you're used to," Baiyi said. Baiyi gently pushed her away and placed both of his hands on her shoulders. Staring into her beautiful big eyes, he continued in a half-joking manner, "Also, I like the way you pronounce me when you call me teacher. Got it?"
"Oh … Is that so?" Tisdale nodded skeptically. "I understand, Master."
"Mm-hmm, that's good." Baiyi stroked her head and said, "Go do your homework. You haven't finished it yet, have you?"
"Got it. I'll go wash my face first," Tisdale said. Tisdale said. At this time, her pretty face was as red as a ripe apple. Naturally, she needed some cold water to help cool it down.
Then, she ran to the bathroom in a panic. Baiyi, on the other hand, was busy thinking about how to fix the door handle that he had just broken. He did not notice that a pair of bright eyes had been watching the two of them in the hallway, watching their intimate actions.
That night, Baiyi sat alone in his room. In front of him was his students' homework, which they had handed in before dinner. He was grading them while he sketched out the key points and wrote down the correct solution to the problem. He was also recording the students' progress in a small notebook so that it would be easier for him to teach them in the future.
Suddenly, someone knocked on the door. Baiyi used his Mana to open the door, and it was Mia, standing there timidly.
"Mr. Hope, I can't sleep," Mia said, looking a little upset. "I lent Sharkie to Vidomina."
This little girl … She's not trying to coax me to sleep, is she? Baiyi thought to himself. He glanced at Mia. She was still dressed neatly. Be it her short skirt, jacket, blouse, or even her black stockings, she was still there.
