The one named Qinxuan was the undead girl who accused Shen Yanxiao in front of Kehr on the first day. After she left, Qinxuan spread the rumors of Shen Yanxiao’s cruelty outside.
At least half of the contributions towards Shen Yanxiao’s notoriety were hers.
“Don’t listen to Qinxuan’s nonsense.” At last, Zhanye responded. He frowned and muttered a little.
“Nonsense? Yan Di didn’t punish you to squat on a brazier? There wasn’t any whipping? You were not beaten on the first day?” Other teenagers apparently didn’t believe the explanation of Zhanye. After all, during these days, any of the students who came out of the martial arts arena looked half dead. Who would believe that Yan Di was not mistreating them?
Zhanye opened his mouth and looked at his companions. His breathing didn’t look fine as he said, “It has nothing to do with you. You should just mind your own affairs. Moreover, Mentor Yan Di… She’s not as terrible as what you’re saying. She’s quite conscientious.”
“Zhanye, have you become foolish from being maltreated? You still think she’s a good person? Are you afraid that she’ll learn of you telling the truth? She’s abusing you all at the martial arts arena, right? Rest assured, we called you out today to prevent people from eavesdropping. Don’t you trust us?” Obviously, no one believed the words of Zhanye. They all thought that he was afraid of Shen Yanxiao, so he had said such words against his own will.
“She’s not mistreating us, ey… Even if I explain, you won’t understand. Anyway, we’re all fine now. Don’t ask any more questions.” Zhanye was not very good at explaining things. Since he did not know how to explain to this group of teenagers, he simply stopped discussing the topic altogether.
But how could these teenagers be willing to let it go? They invited Zhanye out for drinks today in order to inquire about the rumors.
The fire in their gossipy hearts had not been extinguished yet, they would not give up.
Shen Yanxiao listened quietly in one corner. She was somewhat surprised at the words that fell into her ears.
She was indeed quite diligent in teaching Zhanye and others, but her methods were really extreme, simple, and crude. Every day, she pushed those teenagers to the limits. In her opinion, it was no different from abuse. She also did not have much interaction with her students. So she really did not expect those brats to understand that everything she was doing was to toughen them.
But Zhanye actually said that she was quite conscientious. This made it so Shen Yanxiao could not help but smile in her heart.
These brats were not as annoying as she imagined, were they?
While Shen Yanxiao was thinking about whether to continue leading away a goat, another group of teenagers wearing the uniforms of the Deathfire Academy came in from the outside of the restaurant. At first glance, you could tell that these students were in the senior grade. Their bodies were gradually approaching the build of an adult undead, and they were not small at all.
Among that group of students, Shen Yanxiao found two familiar figures.
The only girl among that group of undead, the only one not wearing the school uniform of Deathfire Academy: Qinxuan.
And the other acquaintance, the brat Shile.
That group of undead teenagers was headed by a tall one, half a head taller than Zhanye. All the other teenagers were following behind him, their actions guided by him. Qinxuan stood beside the teenager with an aloof and haughty face.
“Zhanye, so you were here too.” The teenager in the lead saw Zhanye sitting at the table, and his mouth curved into a mocking smile.
Zhanye looked up at the other party, and suddenly his expression became a little ugly.
