Chapter 703: Undercurrents of Tension (3)

Luo Fan grinned with bitterness.
“City lord, you must have heard about me losing my cultivation achievements back in the Longxuan Empire.”
“Yes, I have. I am so sorry.” Geng Di said.
Luo Fan went on, clenching his fist, “The one that ruined all I have achieved was a student in the Herbalist Division of Saint Laurent Academy by the name of Shen Jue.”
“Shen Jue? Is that person also from the Vermilion Bird Family?” The Vermilion Bird Family was the only one in the Longxuan Empire that adopted the surname Shen. Apart from the Vermilion Bird Family, Geng Di could not think of any other family that person could be from.
“Vermilion Bird Family? Hmm, on that day, Brother Shanguan and I had our talents ruined by that Shen Jue. We had no other choice but to go back to the Blue Moon Dynasty to find my mentor for us to be cured. Not long after our return, my father sent people to Saint Laurent Academy to look for this Shen Jue. But we only received a piece of shocking news in return. Ever since Shen Yanxiao won the Inter-academy Tournament, that student named Shen Jue disappeared as well. Saint Laurent Academy has the Warlock Division. However, according to Brother Shangguan, for all these years, there have been no students in the Warlock Division. In the students’ files, there is no student by the name of Shen Yanxiao. The disappearance of Shen Jue and the appearance of Shen Yanxiao is proof that they are the same person!” Worked up, Luo Fan stood up from his chair. Who could feel the pain he was experiencing now?
Once, he was the pride of the family, someone born to be a talent in herbalism. He was well-respected. However, one potion from Shen Yanxiao crushed all of his pride and glory.
He fell from heaven to hell. The only thing remaining in Luo Fan’s heart was hatred!
“Are you sure?” The story surprised and pleased Geng Di greatly. He was surprised that Shen Yanxiao was an herbalist as well and that she could turn a talent into a useless person without anyone knowing it. He was also pleased that Luo Fan’s hatred toward Shen Yanxiao could never be diminished. Additionally, it looked like his teacher, Jun Mo, also shared Luo Fan’s hatred towards Shen Yanxiao. Such being the case, the bond forged between them would be even closer!
“I have been investigating for a long time, and I am absolutely sure that it was Shen Yanxiao. Truth be told, I have come to Fantasy Devil City, in one part, because of the duke’s invitation, but it is mostly because my mortal enemy is in the Forsaken Land!” Hatred filled Luo Fan’s eyes. He could never forget what he had been suffering. If it were not for Jun Mo, he would not even be able to stand up. Shen Yanxiao destroyed his spirit. He could never concoct another potion for the rest of his life. She destroyed everything about him. He wanted her dead!
Geng Di replied, “Brother Luo, I am so sorry for the misfortune that has happened to you. That Shen Yanxiao is surely vicious. As a matter of fact, a couple of months ago, Shen Yanxiao had come here to Fantasy Devil City to challenge us. In the dead of the night, she took mythical beasts with her and surrounded my city. She made a huge scene in front of so many of my citizens, claiming that she would come to deal with me after Sun Never Sets has finished construction.” Geng Di gave no account of the fact he was the one that harmed Shen Yanxiao’s people first. He just acted as if he shared a bitter hatred of the enemy.
“Hmm, that punk is the same as before. She is so off-putting,” Pu Lisi, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said with a snort.
“Master Pu Lisi, you know Shen Yanxiao as well?” Geng Di asked.
“Know her? Of course, I do! That punk did not just ruin everything for Luo Fan, she also hurt my only student, Shang Guanxiao. Plus, she is an extremely arrogant person who has no respect for her teachers. It is ridiculous that such a person can come to the Forsaken Land on behalf of the Longxuan Empire,” Pu Lisi stated coldly.
