What made Nock want to vomit blood even more was that Shen Yanxiao actually used the Undead Lord to shut his mouth.
Nock’s complexion alternated between green and white as he felt severely humiliated by Shen Yanxiao.
“Why bother our Lord with such a trivial matter? It’s just a student who has yet to finish his training. Yan Di, why do you want to make such a fuss?” Nock said with a taut face.
He didn’t want to involve the Undead Lord at all.
“Small matter?” Shen Yanxiao chuckled and looked at Nock with interest.
“If Master Nock really thinks it’s a small matter, then I’m afraid you do not need to come in person. Even though I’m young and don’t know as much as Master Nock, I also know the seriousness of military affairs. To ensure the safety of our Lord in the Lord, it is inadvisable for matters regarding the Flaming Red Squad to be decided willy-nilly. Master Nock, you know more than me, how can you still think it’s a small matter?”
Nock was speechless. He didn’t expect things to develop like this.
Fengling’s character was proud and aloof, and he had little contact with others. Even back when he was in the Royal Academy, there were only a few students who could talk to him. Therefore, Nock had always thought that Fengling must be the most unsociable member in the Flaming Red Squad. He would not be able to integrate into a new group in a short time, and such a thorn was often the biggest headache for mentors.
However, he never expected Shen Yanxiao to think so highly of Fengling. Not only was she unwilling to let him go, but she even said that she wanted Fengling to be the vice-captain!
Had Fengling changed after he joined the Flaming Red Squad?
Nock was absolutely unwilling to give up Fengling. Fengling’s talents were better than all the students he had ever taught, even surpassing the original Sal. He had always regarded Fengling as the second Sal.
Kehr and Sal were like two tigers fighting, but they would grow old sooner or later. At that time, it would be a good time for Fengling to take over the undead army.
Kehr was devoted to the army and had no personal disciples.
Fengling and Sal were both personally taught by Nock, so logically speaking, Sal was on Fengling’s side.
Therefore, Nock had been paving the way for Fengling to get closer to the central power.
But for this to work out…
Fengling had to be by his side all the time. From the very beginning, stuffing Fengling into the Flaming Red Squad was his last resort. And now that the Royal Academy had another chance, Nock would personally train these students. Only by getting Fengling back could Nock’s plan be realized.
Although Fengling’s character was proud and aloof, he was very honest and attached great importance to friendship. If he were to take root in the Flaming Red Squad, it would be hard to say which side of his heart he would favor in the future.
After all, Shen Yanxiao was recommended by Kehr and worked directly under the Undead Lord. She was also young and could be said to be one of the contenders to be the commander-in-chief of the future undead army.
If Fengling really had a sense of camaraderie with Shen Yanxiao, then with Fengling’s character, he would probably automatically fight for her.
This was not what Nock wanted to see.
“Yan Di, I just want Fengling back. Are you trying to scare me? There are so many excellent students in your Flaming Red Squad. Why do you want to occupy Fengling for yourself? Have you taken into account Fengling’s will?” Nock was at his wit’s end and could only bring up Fengling’s personal will.
He was confident that Fengling was very grateful to him and would never choose the Flaming Red Squad over him.
