Chapter 2: What's going on? Are you telling me to enroll in school?

  A maid-like girl stood before me with a very respectful attitude.

  "Huh? Who's calling?" I carelessly licked my lollipop and continued playing games with the amethyst on the bed.

  Amethyst is my guardian pet, a purple venomous snake. Every member of the Luo Shen Temple must have a specially trained pet to protect themselves, and their mission is to protect their master's life and death. If the master dies, they cannot live alone! When I went to choose a pet, I liked Amethyst from the first sight, and it seemed to have a fate with me too. When I stretched out my hand, it wound itself onto my wrist without hesitation. My first thought was to take it home and train it myself to cultivate feelings. Amethyst is very obedient, following my orders unconditionally, never disobeying. Apart from its mission on its body, it is also my good friend and playmate.

  "Miss Hui is Master's..." The maid replied calmly.

  "What?" I leapt out of bed and asked in surprise, "Not mistaken, is it Old Man Zhang's?"

  "It's Miss Hui, it's Old Master, absolutely no mistake!" The maid still had that 'even if the sky falls, it has nothing to do with me' dead fish expression.

  "Alright, I know, you go down first, and bring me a cup of milk later!" I waved my hand at her.

  "Yes!" The maid nodded and walked out of my room.

  "Amethyst, I'll go answer the phone, wait a moment, okay? I'll be right back!" I spat out the lollipop in my mouth, got up from bed, sat up again, put on my slippers, and patted the little purple snake's head.

  As I watch it spit out a letter, I couldn't help but smile, and step out of the room, heading towards the living room.

  "Hey, old man, what are you looking for me?" I picked up the phone on the desk and asked bluntly.

  "Dead girl, be more polite when speaking to elders, do you understand?!" My dad's voice came from the other end of the phone.

  "Less nonsense, you didn't even have the courtesy to call me 'sister'. What's with the phone call?" I asked, rolling my eyes.

  "Oh dear, can't a father even make a phone call to ask about his own precious daughter?" The phone conveyed Dad's pitiful voice.

  "Cut the crap, what's up with you?! Can't I guess? At this hour, shouldn't you be in a meeting at the company or something? You're busy as hell and yet you call me? Don't be ridiculous! Let's get straight to the point, what's gone wrong again that needs my attention?"

  "Alright... our baby girl is really smart! To be honest, Dad really has something to ask you to do. Look at how busy Dad is and how he's tied up with work, but you're so clever and lovely..."

  "Miss, here's your milk." The maid from just now walked up to me and handed me a cup of milk.

  "Old man, are you done yet? Stop flattering! With this much nonsense, it's better to get to the point. Why bother chattering on and on?! I impatiently interrupted his conversation, took a big gulp of milk from the maid's hand, hmm, not bad...the taste is really good."

  "Alright, since my daughter asked me to say it, I'll say it! The thing is, I want you to attend a noble high school..."

  "Splat! —— Milk was sprayed all over the floor."

  "What?! Old man, what are you up to again? You're kidding me! I've finished all my university courses and got my master's degree, and now you want me to go back to high school?" My dad's words made me shout out in frustration.
