Chapter 1922: Conflict (6)
From being forced to do this at the beginning to finally being convinced, this group of wild and unrestrained undead teenagers finally realized Shen Yanxiao’s good intentions.
Therefore, they had reached a tacit understanding. No matter who inquired about Shen Yanxiao, they would clench their teeth and never reveal any information. They would protect their mentor in their own way.
“I don’t care about what they say.” Shen Yanxiao smiled. This bit of gossip was simply nothing to her. Since her rebirth, she had heard many insults and suffered all kinds of discrimination. If she still cared about these words, wouldn’t she have died from anger much sooner?
It was not like she had never heard of something worse.
“What’s with that Naken and Zhanye?” Shen Yanxiao was more concerned about why Naken was bullying Zhanye. The former looked so unbridled, as if he would not stop until he crushed Zhanye’s self-esteem.
s.h.i.+le opened his mouth and looked at Zhanye with some hesitation.
Zhanye took a deep breath and said, “It’s a personal grudge between Naken and I. We were students at the same time. Naken and I were compet.i.tors at first, but later he matured much faster than me. Both of us competed for the personal guidance of Mentor Luoqiu, and I lost.”
“You and Naken were students at the same time?” Shen Yanxiao was somewhat surprised. She thought Naken looked a year or two older than Zhanye.
“Mentor Yan Di, you don’t know, but Naken is very vicious. Not only did he win the compet.i.tion, but he was also ruthless to Zhanye during the spar. As a result, Zhanye had to recuperate for a year before returning to Deathfire Academy.” s.h.i.+le explained.
“How about that Luoqiu?” Shen Yanxiao noticed that Naken had mentioned the name of this mentor before. That complacent appearance on his face when he mentioned the name looked very annoying.
“Luoqiu is one of the top ten mentors of Deathfire Academy, and his reputation is second only to Mentor Kehr. However, Mentor Kehr no longer teaches because he is still responsible for the army of Howling Abyss. He just comes to visit occasionally, so Mentor Luoqiu can be said to be the most respected mentor in Deathfire Academy. The students in the school all want to get his guidance…” s.h.i.+le suddenly stopped talking. He looked at Shen Yanxiao and suddenly realized something. He immediately changed his tune and said, “Of course, we used to think so too. But Mentor Yan Di, just this one month with us made us feel that following you is no worse than following Mentor Luoqiu!”
s.h.i.+le was afraid that his words would make Shen Yanxiao sad, so he quickly expressed his loyalty.
Shen Yanxiao laughed. She did not care about that.
“Forget it. It’s best if that Naken is obedient in the future. If he comes to find trouble with you again, tell me.”
“Ah?” s.h.i.+le and Zhanye were a little dumbfounded. Was Mentor Yan Di speaking up for them?
“Alright, I still have something on. You can go back first.” Shen Yanxiao left after saying a few words. She did not forget the main purpose of her trip.
Looking at Shen Yanxiao’s departing back, s.h.i.+le and Zhanye were somewhat stunned.
“Is Mentor Yan Di going to stand up for us?” Zhanye asked after a long time.
“I think so…” s.h.i.+le nodded.
When they thought about how powerless they were on Shen Yanxiao’s first day, Zhanye and s.h.i.+le felt very ashamed. They secretly made up their minds to live up to Shen Yanxiao’s expectations. They would use their strength to prove Shen Yanxiao’s strength!
