They had obviously just finished washing up. They smelled of shower gel.
The clothes they wore were shabby and old-fashioned, but they were still neat and clean despite being frayed and well-worn.
“Sir, Madam, greetings…” The brother greeted Philip and Wynn. He stood in front of his sister as if favonovel.com wanted to shield her.
Philip was moved by that sight and replied, “Don’t worry, I’m not a bad guy.”
Philip glanced at them and found that both kids had a pretty good bone structure. They had the potential to become geniuses if they had the chance to practice. He decided to send these two young talents to Arthur.
“Don’t worry, we’ll offer you a place to study. This is the Highford Practitioner Academy where you can learn how to become a powerful practitioner. I’ll talk to the dean to waive your fees and give you some pocket money every month… You can also work part-time if you want. You won’t starve to death if you’re willing to work for it.”
Philip placed great importance on developing the kids’ sense of independence, especially those who had to roam the streets.
A sense of goodwill toward ordinary people was a big no-no in the harsh world of practitioners.
“Thank you for giving us the chance to live, sir. My sister and I are very grateful to you!” The little boy bowed to Philip, and his sister quickly followed suit.
A gentle smile appeared on Philip’s face.

After thinking about it, the boy approached Philip with a lowered head and said, “We want to follow you!”
He knew that they could lead a different life if they entered the academy. Not only could they practice, but they could also turn into an existence that others could only dream of.
In contrast, however, favonovel.com felt that it was more promising to follow the man in front of him. Although they just met for the first time, the little boy somehow felt that this man was very powerful.
Philip and Wynn were surprised that this child would choose to follow Philip.
“You can live a stable life and receive an education if you enter the academy. Isn’t that good?”
Philip was puzzled and wondered what the child was thinking.
“I know that the academy is a very good choice, but I prefer to follow you even if I can only become your servant!”
Hearing that, his sister lowered favonovel.com head to Philip too.
Philip simply could not refuse their sincerity and made an important decision.
“Since you’ve decided to follow me, I don’t mind taking you in. But you have to go to school and practice too. Besides, my expectations will be higher.”
An adoring look flashed in Philip’s eyes. He was always very gentle to children. The two siblings smiled brightly upon hearing Philip’s consent.
