The young swordsman slashed at the magus with a blow of Flame Cut. He put the long sword on his shoulder and stood there with pride, as he looked at the magus sprawled on the ground.
“Brother Nazhi, you are awesome!” An overly sweet voice shrieked in excitement.
Shen Yanxiao raised her eyebrows and followed the voice. She was surprised to see Shen Jiayi, who could never think about anything else other than fantasies!
What was that wild kid doing there?
Also, what was with the ‘Brother Nazhi’?
Shen Yanxiao squinted her eyes, which usually indicated danger. She glared at the young swordsman who stood there like a winner.
That young man was none other than Tang Nazhi, who had been forced out of the Herbalist Division by Shangguan Xiao and his peers.
“Do not be too arrogant. You should know your limit.” Tang Nazhi ignored Shen Jiayi’s cheers. He stared at the young magus who looked lost like a drowned mouse.
Shen Jiayi happily marched forward and threw herself at Tang Nazhi as she acted like a cute lamb. She smirked at the young magus. “You’re a piece of garbage! How dare you challenge my Brother Nazhi? Such confidence!”
The young magus glared at them as he quietly crawled and left the crowd.
Tang Nazhi frowned as he looked at Shen Jiayi, who was clinging to him. Out of instinct, he moved further away from her.
Shen Jiayi turned a blind eye to Tang Nazhi’s estrangement. Instead, she grasped Tang Nazhi’s sleeve with more intimacy and said in an affectedly sweet voice, “Brother Nazhi, thank you so much for teaching that playboy a lesson for me.”
Tang Nazhi did not reply, and he had a weird expression on his face.
Shen Yanxiao felt a rush of anger in her heart.
She was confident that Tang Nazhi had been a student at the Herbalist Division, but for some reason, he had presented himself as an Advanced Swordsman with a longsword in his hand. That was not even the most bizarre thing. What vexed Shen Yanxiao, even more, was that he had hung out with that stupid Shen Jiayi. Shen Yanxiao had wanted to punish that idiotic boy-crazy girl for a long time. That womanizer Tang Nazhi was not even fussy about his prey. Even someone like Shen Jiayi was his type. How could he be her protector?
Shen Yanxiao would have been happy he had protected some other girls instead. After all, Tang Nazhi had always liked to play the hero to rescue a damsel in distress. However, he should not have been with that spoiled kid, Shen Jiayi.
Shen Yanxiao sneered. She discarded her steamed buns and stepped out of the huge crowd to make her way toward Shen Jiayi and Tang Nazhi.
“It is not daytime, but it is utterly uncomfortable to see such a disgusting scene in public. Find someplace else for your public display of affection. Do not be an eyesore here.” Shen Yanxiao folded her arms in front of her chest. She remained calm and composed as she confronted them.
She had only purchased the disguise mask that she wore that day at Blizzard City. That thick-headed Tang Nazhi would never recognize her.
For a moment, Tang Nazhi was surprised by Shen Yanxiao’s appearance because Shen Jiayi had been pestering him.
Shen Jiayi did not expect that someone would scold her while she gushed at Tang Nazhi. Then she noticed that it was a kid who seemed a year or two younger than her. His clothes made him look poor and weak. That kid also had a plain appearance. So, Shen Jiayi rudely remarked, “Stinky kid, this is none of your business. Do you want a beating?”
Shen Yanxiao raised her eyebrows and sneered. Shen Jiayi would never learn, would she?
