REINCARNATION OF THIEVING GIRLS

184 - 185

Chapter 184: Protecting One's Shortcomings (3)

It was a tacit understanding among the four of them. They never needed to discuss anything before, and they were used to reacting according to the situation at hand. However, they ignored the slight problem with the usual arrangements, and it was Shen Jue. The little one did not have the same background as them, so he could not behave indifferently like them. Moreover, outsiders were also rude with their words.

The decision they took made everyone label Shen Jue as someone who was burdening others. No one knew that if it wasn't for Shen Jue timely dispatching the antidote, all of the young masters of the five great noble families would be crammed into the red class. They would not be able to remain in the violet class.

When she heard the comments about Shen Jue, Tang Nazhi felt as if a needle had pierced through her heart. Even though he was out of control, he did not want to involve a precious comrade.

"Why don't I discuss with the three of them later, so that we can explain the bidder situation with the teacher? In that case, no one would dare to underestimate you anymore. " The more he thought about it; the more Tang Nazhi realized that he should not take credit for Shen Yanxiao's contribution. It seemed obvious that the little boy was a genius in herbalism, and those fools thought of him as trash.

Shen Yanxiao became agitated as she heard that Tang Nazhi intended to explain the incident with his antidote. He immediately shook his head and said, "No need for that. I think it's pretty good for me. I don't like problems, and why should I care about how others see me?

What joke! Shen Yanxiao sensed that the teacher named Ling Yue had an initial suspicion about her. Fortunately, Qi Xia and Tang Nazhi managed to fool him, albeit with great difficulty. If Tang Nazhi went to him to explain what had happened, they would probably see him as a thief and catch him.

Furthermore, he had no way of explaining how he got the antidote.

"Do you really think so?" Tang Nazhi asked in a hesitant tone.

"Yes," Shen Yanxiao said with a firm nod.

Tang Nazhi sighed and rubbed Shen Yanxiao's head violently. Then he smiled and said, "You really have a good temperament. You have an amazing talent, but it seems like you have gotten used to hiding your abilities. You would rather let others underestimate you than tell them that you are actually a genius in herbal medicine! " Tang Nazhi appreciated her lack of desire for fame. Perhaps Shen Jue's achievement was due to his devotion to herbalism and lack of attention to fame and fortune? Tang Nazhi secretly admired him because of the way his mind worked.

However, Shen Yanxiao could only suffer in silence. He did not understand how Tang Nazhi could see him as someone with noble characteristics and with unquestionable integrity. Furthermore, why did he think that he was talented in herbs? At that moment, he could not even produce the simplest potion.

It was a big and outrageous misunderstanding.

As they were preoccupied with their own thoughts, they heard shouts telling everyone to gather. So, all the students in the public square gathered in front of the platform.

Tang Nazhi dragged Shen Yanxiao towards that goal and found Qi Xia, Yang Xi, and Yanyu, who were already standing among the crowd.

"How did you get it?" Tang Nazhi happily asked Qi Xia and the others.

"As usual, violet class." Qi Xia shrugged his shoulders. They had heard their results from the gossip of the other students. They didn't even need to check it personally.

"Hehe, Little Jue, and I are also in violet class." Tang Nazhi said with a smile.

"That's predictable." Qi Xia glanced at Shen Yanxiao, who Tang Nazhi dragged along with him and smiled at him.

"I've heard bad rumors about you. Are you all right?" Qi Xia asked.

Shen Yanxiao intuitively knew what she heard and shook her head.

The public square immediately became quiet as Ouyang Huanyu slowly walked onto the tall platform. Everyone's gaze was focused on the most authoritative person in the academy.

"Everyone has done very well in this test. I hope you can all go higher next year. " Ouyang Huanyu looked at the students with a gentle yet inspiring smile.

"However, accidents have occurred during this test, and therefore, some students do not get the desired results."

Ouyang Huanyu's speech caused a commotion among the students.

Everyone thought that the latest exam was the most chaotic test in the history of the academy. Due to the restrictions of the potion, most students were eliminated even before they could display their original abilities. The defeat of Cao Xu and Meng Yiheng's team was the most tragic of all. However, Ouyang Huanyu mentioned that there had been an accident during the testing.

What was the accident?

As she stood beside Qi Xia and the rest of the group, Shen Yanxiao frowned slightly. He had a bad feeling about what was going to happen.

"This was supposed to be a collaborative test for the Magus, Herbalist, Swordsman, Priests, Archers, and Knights divisions. However, coincidentally, we found someone who did not belong to any of these six divisions. " Ouyang Huanyu's smile faded, and his sharp eyes stared at the entire student as he continued to say, "During this test, the teachers found two students with corrosive magic fragments on their bodies. As you know, only curses cast by magicians will leave corrosive magic shards. So, we concluded that there was a witch disguised as a student from one of our divisions, and she used a curse to attack our students. "

The witch!

"I didn't think there was a witch in our academy!"

"Oh my God, this is too scary. That guy's not gonna attack us, is he? "

"Did the witch attack Cao Xu and the others? Is that why they got knocked out? "

Ouyang Huanyu's words immediately caused panic among the students. They were already quite worried about the witch. Then they learn that a dangerous character has been hiding among them, and two students have been attacked.

The Brilliance Continent had been demonizing witches for a long time, and it caused everyone to fear witches.

Shen Yanxiao gritted her teeth. He finally understood why Bai Ling was questioning them like that. They had discovered his existence because he had not realized that the curse would leave behind shards of magic. The lack of understanding of witches was a loss to him.

Shen Yanxiao narrowed her eyes due to the panic the students felt just by calling a witch. Their fear of witches was obvious and real. Since Ouyang Hanyu had brought up the matter, he assumed that he would not allow the matter either.

As he believed, Ouyang Hanyu continued to say, "This man's actions have threatened the safety of our students. So, to find this person, we will do a search for all of you. I hope everyone will work with us. "

The students relaxed when they heard that the dean was going to look for the witch. No one wanted dangerous characters so close to themselves.

They know nothing about witches. They only knew what they heard from their families, and that was how ordinary witches condemned to conduct cruel and forbidden research.

"It's an exaggeration to mobilize so many people for just one witch." Qi Xia looked at the excited crowd, but he felt somewhat disappointed by the situation.
