Chapter 2016: Selection Competition (6)
Mingye hesitated for a moment before asking, “Who is she?”
“Your Highness, she is the mentor of Deathre Academy, Yan Di.” Mingye’s behavior was somewhat strange, which made Nock a little puzzled.
“Yan Di?” Mingye repeated and felt that this name was so strange. The same was true for the girl’s appearance. His memory clearly did not have a similar face as hers, but somehow, Mingye felt that this Yan Di gave him a very familiar feeling.
It was deep into the bone, like a sense of familiarity coming from the soul.
All of a sudden, Mingye walked towards Shen Yanxiao. He grasped Shen Yanxiao’s wrist and stared at her doubtfully.
“Have we met somewhere before?”
“…” Shen Yanxiao was speechless. Why did this spring roll prince’s way of questioning sound so weird? Why did it sound like an old-fashioned pick-up line?
“No.” Shen Yanxiao calmly answered. The curse technique she had used on Mingye was just a temporary control spell. After he had completed the mission that Shen Yanxiao gave him, the spell would completely disappear from his body, and even the Ancestor of the Undead would never be able to perceive anything strange.
At that time in the Dragon Cemetery, Shen Yanxiao remembered that the resurrection had been carried out by Mingye successfully. After he returned to the Howling Abyss, the curse technique lurking in his body should have disappeared already.
And Mingye should not remember her anymore. What was more? There was also a big gap between the appearance of her undead self and that of her human self.
“No?” Mingye slightly frowned, looking a little distressed.
“Ah, Your Highness.” Nock’s eyes opened so wide that they almost fell o. He just could not understand why Mingye suddenly became interested in such an undead girl.
It must be known that after Nock conrmed that Shen Yanxiao was working under Kehr, Nock had made up his mind to have the students of Royal Academy beat Shen Yanxiao’s Flaming Red Squad in the competition, ruthlessly destroying Kehr’s ambition.
If Yan Di and Mingye establish a close relationship at this time… This was not what Nock liked to see. Mingye unwaveringly stared at Yan Di and made sure that she had no sense of guilt in her eyes. Only then did he let go of her hand in disappointment.
“Apologies.” After throwing an apology, Mingye turned around and walked over to Nock.
“Mentor Nock, let’s go and continue our conversation.”
“All right.” Nock nodded his head with a seemingly casual surface, but he secretly focused on Shen Yanxiao’s every move.
To avoid Mingye and Shen Yanxiao having too much contact with each other, Nock quickly took Mingye directly to his room and closed the door to have a private conversation. Shen Yanxiao stood in the corridor in a manner as if there was nothing unusual about being “suddenly hit on by a prince”.
It was the Royal Academy students following behind Nock who looked at Shen Yanxiao with more ambiguous eyes.
By the standards of the undead, Shen Yanxiao’s appearance was in fact superior. Among the undead, even the female undead seldom had a fresh vitality, but Shen Yanxiao’s body was emitting this aura that did not belong to the undead, which had a fatal attraction for them.
Regardless of Shen Yanxiao’s status, the undead teenagers of Royal Academy still had to admit that this undead girl who looked smaller than them could easily make their hearts move.
So… Did His Highness the Prince take a fancy to her? The expressions of the Royal Academy students became more and more tangled, thinking that Mentor Nock wanted them to teach the Flaming Red Squad a good lesson in the competition
