Xiamu stared blankly at Haines' outstretched hand, which was slender, white and bony, and was well maintained by its owner.

Shia subconsciously held this hand, and as soon as she touched it, the touch from her fingertips felt dry and cool, and the temperature seemed to be lower than that of ordinary people.

Haynes' hand was the same as his own, a circle larger than Shia's.

Seeing that Shea didn't respond for a long time, Haines asked, "Why, can't you accept it?"

Xia came back to her senses, shook her head violently, and hurriedly explained: "No, no! I'm just a little surprised."

He originally thought that even if Haines was only teaching a temporary substitute for the sick fighting class this time, Haines would still stay at Creek Academy for the rest of the time and take other classes for them.

Who would have imagined that Haynes would only substitute for this class, and would never teach them again after that.

After realizing this, Shia actually felt a little regretful.

Although he has never liked fighting classes very much, and he is not good at close combat, but I have to say that if Haines was the one who taught them fighting classes, the lengthy fighting class time didn't seem to be so difficult.

At the very least, with Haines' face and voice alone, it was as if he could cast magic on time, making time flow faster than usual.

Shia sighed, with disappointment written all over his face.

Haines blinked at him, "Reluctance?"

Shia was startled, and nodded honestly, "There is one thing, Professor Lancer's fighting class is very good."

"Haynes." Haines corrected him.

"Ah! Hai, Haynes, I'm sorry." Shia stumbled a little, and was not quite used to being called this.

Haines smiled slightly, "Even if you don't become a professor, you will still have the opportunity to meet in the future. You don't have to be so disappointed."

Shia's eyes lit up, "Really?"

"Of course." Haines said, but did not tell him that there would definitely be opportunities for them to meet.

He stared at the big black egg held in Shia's arms for a few seconds, then looked away without a trace, and chuckled vaguely, "Is there anything else?"

"Nope!" Shea shook her head, her voice was obviously a little more excited than before.

Haines nodded slightly. Before leaving, he still told the blond boy: "Take good care of this cub."

"I will!" Shia touched the big black egg in his arms, a little strange why Haines said that suddenly, but he quickly put this matter behind him, only thinking that the other party was just like him, He said this because he likes Warcraft.

After Haines left, Shia changed back into the school uniform of Creek College, and then walked outside the school.

Today is the first day of school at Corrick College, and it is also Shia's birthday. Rocky said that he has a little surprise for him tonight, but before that, he has to go back to Lipton's manor.

He has a very important thing to do.

The terminal screen in her hand lit up, and Shea clicked on the message, which was sent by the butler of the Lipton family.

【Master Xiya, I'm at the gate of Creek College, just come over after class. 】

Shia turned off the screen, her expression calmed down.

Corrick College has always had a lot of courses, but since the fifth grade is about to graduate, in order to allow students to have more time to arrange their jobs after graduation, the fifth grade courses are relatively loose .

For example, Shia only has two classes today, the elective summoning technique and the compulsory fighting technique, and the time after the lessons can be freely arranged.

Xi Ya saw a familiar levitation car at the school gate. Standing beside the car was a middle-aged man in a black suit, with a straight figure and gray temples.

The moment he saw Xi Ya, the middle-aged man smiled slightly at him, his eyes paused for half a second on the cub in Xi Ya's arms, but he didn't ask anything, opened the door of the hover car, and said respectfully: "Master Shia, please get in the car."

Xi Ya's footsteps stopped, and after getting into the car, he said to the man sitting in the driver's seat: "From now on, don't call me young master."

The man held the steering wheel hard, his knuckles were faintly white, "You...do you have to do this?"

Shia nodded, and quickly realized that the man was driving and couldn't see his movements, "I have to do this, if it was Elvy before, I might consider staying, but now... Lipton is Lipton Don, it's not Alvy. Alec, you don't have to persuade me anymore, this is something I've decided long ago."

There is no need to stay in a family that even abandons its own surname.

Shia lowered her eyes, hiding the darkness deep in her green eyes.

Alec pursed his lips tightly and didn't speak again.He is just a little butler of the Lipton family, even though he has taken care of Shia since he was a child, he still has no right or position to prevent this from happening.

Just like what Shia said, Lipton is no longer the former Alvy, and Shia's surname is Alvy, not Lipton, and it is only a matter of time before he breaks away from the family.

Alec remained silent, and Shia didn't speak anymore. He quietly stared at the scene of the roadside speeding backwards outside the window, but his green eyes were not in focus.

As one of the oldest families in the empire, although the Lipton family has declined, their family property is still sufficient.

After getting off the car, Shia stared at the old manor in Lipton for a while before stepping into the house that he hadn't been to for several years.

Since Shia was underage before, even if he wanted to leave the family, even if Lipton didn't like him, he would not agree to his request.

Expelling a minor from the family is almost equivalent to forcing a teenager to a dead end. Such a cold-blooded and ruthless thing is impossible for Lipton to do. There are too many people in the outside world who are paying attention to this family that has not lagged behind and changed its name. He will not openly send hot news that would discredit the family.

However, Shea and the Lipton family hated each other and were unwilling to live in this manor, so Lipton gave the key to a remote and unused empty house to Shea, allowing him to live there temporarily. In the house.

The process of signing the separation agreement was simpler than Xia had imagined, but he felt that it might be because the Lipton Patriarch had already prepared all the necessary things in advance, so it saved so much time.

From stepping into the manor to leaving the manor, there was not even half an hour.

The big iron gate behind him closed slowly, and Xi Ya turned around, holding the cub egg and bowed to the ancient manor with difficulty.

At any rate, the estate had once been called Alvy Hall.

Alec stood behind him, his eyes couldn't bear it, "Shao...Xia."

Shea got up and got on the suspension vehicle without looking back, "Let's go, Alec, take me there to pack my things, and then please help me return the key to the house to Patriarch Lipton."

Alec sighed. He grew up watching Shia, and he is also one of the people who knows Shia's temperament best.Although Shea seemed to be easy to talk to, Alec knew that if it was something that had already been decided, Shea would not change her mind easily.

He has a very stubborn temper, just like his dead mother.

The suspension vehicle soon arrived at the remote old house, and Shea rejected Alec's offer to help, and entered the old house alone.

This is where he lived for nearly ten years.

Since he realized that he would leave the Lipton family sooner or later, he moved to this old house to live alone.

The things in the old house have been moved almost by Shia, and there are only a few sundries left, Shia quickly stuffed them all into the space button, and when she was about to open the door to go out, she paused slightly , pulled out a thin silver chain that was hidden by the clothes.

"Mom?" Shia called out in a low voice, "Are you awake?"

Below the silver chain hangs a crystal-clear green jadeite, about the size of an adult's thumb. Under the dim light of the old house, it seems to be shining faintly.

A translucent figure of a young girl slowly emerged beside Xi Ya, with slightly curly dark brown long hair hanging behind her, and the color of her pupils was light amber, even in the state of a soul, she still couldn't hide those eyes The agility in the house.

Apparently, this translucent soul girl who looked less than 20 years old was the mother that Xi Ya spoke of.

"Don't call me mom, call me Annie." The soul girl raised her arms and rubbed Xi Ya's head in the air.

Shia was at a loss, "Why?"

"You're taller than me, and you'll be older than me in a few days. It's weird for mom." Annie curled her lips.

Shia was speechless.

Annie looked around, a little surprised, "It was packed so quickly?"

"There are not many things." Shia nodded, and complained to her in a low voice, "From today onwards, I will be homeless, mom—"

"It's Annie." Annie interrupted him, "The owner of Lipton didn't even give you a place to live?"

Xi Ya choked up, feeling a little guilty, "He said he would give me this old house, but I didn't want it."

"Are you stupid!" Annie knocked on Xi Ya's forehead in the air, her eyebrows and eyes raised angrily, "Why don't you want it for you?"

Shia subconsciously covered her forehead, and it took a while to realize that Annie couldn't hit her.

"I don't want it." Shea whispered, "This is Lipton's old house, not Alvy's old house. I don't want to have anything to do with Lipton, and I don't want to accept their high-ranking alms."

Annie wanted to say something else, but Shia didn't give her a chance, and continued, "If it wasn't for Lipton, you wouldn't be what you are now."

Annie paused, her amber eyes dimmed, but she still said stubbornly: "But you don't even have a place to live now! You don't even have any money! Do you want to live on the streets?"

Shea shook her head, "I still have one year to graduate. During this period, I can live in the school dormitory. During the holidays, I can find a part-time job that includes food and housing, or if it is not possible, I can also rent a house for two months. Although I bought I can’t afford a house, but I still have money to find a place to stay temporarily.”

"It's up to you." Annie muttered in a low voice. Seeing that Xi Ya's expression was a little depressed, she sighed, hugged the blond boy who had just grown up, and said with rare comfort, "Don't be so sad, isn't it? Do you have no place to live? I used to be able to sleep on tree branches, so what is there to be afraid of!"

Shea cheered up, "Thank you, Mom."

"It's called Annie!" Annie rolled her eyes, seeing that Xi Ya's hand was already on the doorknob, and quickly got into the green jadeite.

Xi Ya slightly hooked her lips, and rubbed her fingers against the warm surface of the green emerald.

Thanks to this necklace, he can still keep in touch with his deceased mother in such a magical way, so that he will not really become a lonely person.

Before Shia opened the door, Annie's voice sounded out of thin air again.

"If you have time in the future, remember to find your father." Annie said, "He must still be alive."

Shia paused slightly, and sighed in her heart.

He had heard Annie say this sentence many times, but Shia was not very keen on finding his father.

After all, after hearing what Annie told him about the past, Xi Ya felt that his father, whom he had never met, was an out-and-out scumbag.

After making his mother's belly bigger, the scumbag who disappeared from the world.
