The old man’s excitement calmed when he remembered Ouyang Huanyu’s words. He did not doubt that the dean would follow through with what he said, and he would continue to investigate the identity of the student. With his capabilities, he would not require much effort to do that. Once the child was exposed…
The old man looked at the dim sky outside the door as he felt sick with worry.
The Brilliance Continent then was not the same as before. The path of a Warlock was a burden too rough for one to bear.
The old man clenched his fist, took a deep breath, and made a decision.
Shen Yanxiao was on her dormitory bed when all that happened, and she was absolutely oblivious to the problem that was headed her way.
The results of the examination were announced on the third day. The students gathered around the square early in the morning and crammed in front of the announcement board to check their results. They also wanted to find out which class they had been allocated to.
Tang Nazhi dragged Shen Yanxiao into the heavily obstructed crowd and finally came before the Herbalist Division’s announcement board. Tang Nazhi immediately found their names, and as expected, both of them had obtained the highest marks for the test. They were also allocated to the Herbalist Division’s violet class for that autumn enrollment.
Tang Nazhi was also excited to see the name ‘Shen Jue’ written on the top of the list. Everyone envied her marks.
“Little Jue! You are the first! You are the first!” Tang Nazhi was extremely surprised and held onto Shen Yanxiao’s shoulder. He was very excited, and it was as if he had won the lottery.
As Tang Nazhi yelled in surprise, the rest of the crowd turned silent.
Everyone’s gaze uniformly landed on Shen Yanxiao.
Envy, jealousy, uncertainty, doubt, contempt, and disdain…
Complicated looks surfaced in their eyes without any concealment. Some of the students did not have the chance to run into Shen Yanxiao at the encampment, so that was the first time they saw the cohort’s top student.
Shen Yanxiao’s petite figure was magnified as she stood beside the larger-built Tang Nazhi. Even with Tang Nazhi’s excitement, there was no smile on her face. Instead, it looked like she was frowning.
“That’s him?” A group of freshmen gathered together and looked at the seemingly ordinary top student.
The freshmen were not as arrogant as the seniors, and they did not dare to show open hostility toward Shen Yanxiao in public. However, they had already heard some rumors about ‘Shen Jue’ while they were in the encampment.
Most of them had heard about how Shen Jue was an incapable idiot who could only flatter and curry favors with the young masters from the five aristocratic families. He had only managed to obtain those incredible results because of that.
They believed the rumor when they saw ‘him’ in person.
They only saw an ordinary-looking guy who could not attract anyone’s attention even if he were to stand in a crowd. He also looked young. Of course, a thirteen-year-old would always be younger than a fifteen-year-old. He also had a frail physique; it was as if a gust of wind could blow him away. It was definitely very hard to see him as someone powerful.
Tang Nazhi, who stood next to her, was tall and handsome. He was also a young master from the Black Tortoise family. No matter how they looked at it, the top student should not have been that smaller-sized kid.
