From being forced to comply without much choice at the start, to being sincerely convinced at the end, these wild and unrestrained undead teenagers finally realized Shen Yanxiao's good intentions.
That was why they had reached a tacit understanding that no matter who inquired about Shen Yanxiao's business, they must clench their teeth and absolutely not reveal a bit of information. They must defend their mentor in their own way.
"I don't care what they're saying." Shen Yanxiao smiled. Such rumors were really not a big deal to her. Since she crossed over to this world until now, she had survived much mistreatment and discrimination. If she kept caring about such words, she would die from anger many times.
What kind of unpleasant words had she never heard before?
"Zhanye, what's going on with you and that Naken?" Shen Yanxiao was more concerned about Naken bullying Zhanye. He seemed to target Zhanye very much, as if he would not stop until he crushed Zhanye's self-esteem.
Shile gaped his mouth open and looked hesitantly at Zhanye.
Zhanye took a deep breath and said, "It's my personal feud with Naken. We entered the academy at the same time. Naken and I were competitors at first, but then he grew up much faster than me. We competed for the personal guidance of Mentor Luoqiu. In the end, I lost."
"You and Naken entered the academy at the same time?" Shen Yanxiao was somewhat surprised. The way she saw it, Naken looked a year or two older than Zhanye.
"Mentor Yan Di, you don't know but Naken is very vicious. Forget that he won; during the competition, he used such a ruthless hand to beat Zhanye. He had to recuperate for a year, and just returned to Deathfire Academy not long ago." Shile explained.
"What about that Luoqiu?" Shen Yanxiao recalled that Naken had also mentioned the name of this mentor before, and he had such a very complacent look on his face, one like someone looking for a beating.
"Luoqiu is one of the top ten mentors of Deathfire Academy. His reputation is second only to that of Mentor Kehr. But because Mentor Kehr still has the army of Howling abyss to manage, he no longer teaches and just comes to visit occasionally. Mentor Luoqiu then became the most respected mentor in Deathfire Academy. The students here all hope to get his guidance..." Shile paused suddenly as he spoke. He looked at Shen Yanxiao and suddenly realized what he was talking about. He immediately changed his tune and said, "Of course, we used to think the same way; but Mentor Yan Di, this one month made us feel that following you is no worse than following Master Luoqiu!"
Shile was afraid that his words would make Shen Yanxiao sad, so he hurried to show his loyalty.
Shen Yanxiao smiled. She really didn't care about such things.
"It's alright. It's just... that Naken, it's best if he stays honest in the future. But if he comes to trouble you again, let me know."
"Ah?" Shile and Zhanye were a bit dumbfounded. Did Mentor Yan Di want them to find her and cry out against an injustice?
"Alright. I still have something else to do. You go back first." After saying a few more words, Shen Yanxiao left. She did not forget what the main purpose of her trip was.
Looking at the departing Shen Yanxiao, Shile and Zhanye were somewhat stunned.
"Does Mentor Yan Di want to defend us?" It took a long time for Zhanye's mouth to utter such a sentence.
"I think that's the case..." Shile nodded.
When they recalled their powerlessness on the first day this new mentor arrived, Zhanye and Shile felt very ashamed. They secretly made up their minds to live up to her training. They would use their strength to prove Yan Di's strength.
