Chapter 292 - Welfare (3)
In the following days, Qi Xia would wait for Shen Yanxiao at the Warlock Division’s entrance to bring her to the moonlight spring so that she could have a soak there.
He was always on time, with no exceptions.
With the effects of the moonlight spring, Shen Yanxiao was no longer as tired as she was before that. Coupled with her daily supplement potions, she brimmed with energy every day.
The days went by quickly, and before anyone knew, it was already two days before the Herbalist Division’s monthly competition.
Shen Yanxiao was prepared for it. She was not sure if she could beat Shangguan Xiao with her abilities as she had not truly exchanged notes with anyone until then. Therefore, she was quite hesitant about her skills.
However, she also knew that it was a good thing for her if she could put her skills to some use to try to understand the requirements of the competition.
A day before the competition, Shen Yanxiao took half a day of leave to register for the competition.
Ye Qing was also very supportive of Shen Yanxiao’s decision.
Even though Shen Yanxiao was much younger than the other students, her mentality and skills were comparable to the top students of the Herbalist Division.
The registration place for the Herbalist Division’s competition was not far from the library. Just as she came out of the library, she saw Tang Nazhi, who waited for her there.
“I knew that you would definitely participate in this month’s competition,” Tang Nazhi said with a smile. The young girl did not continue to slim down after he personally took care of her, but the view of her slender arms and legs was still not a good one.
1It seemed like he had to continue to force her to eat.
“Why? Are you also interested?” Shen Yanxiao was not curious about Tang Nazhi’s presence as he had obviously known about her plan. She had also discussed it with them.
“Nope.” Tang Nazhi crossed his hands at the back of his head and continued to walk by Shen Yanxiao’s side.
Even though he would persevere in studying herbalism until his death, he also knew the limit of his talents in that field. Besides, he was not meant for such confrontation between experts.
If he did not have Shen Yanxiao’s help, he would have been kicked out of the violet class a long time ago.
“Well, this is not like you.” Shen Yanxiao chuckled. Tang Nazhi had a domineering aura, and it was also rare for him to be that modest.
Tang Nazhi glared at her playfully as they walked toward the registration place.
As it was the last day before the competition, many students made up their minds at the very last minute.
Crowds of students emerged endlessly at the registration place, most of them were in groups of twos and threes. There were thousands of students in the Herbalist Division, but most of them were only there to join the excitement.
Shen Yanxiao swiftly looked at those who were there for registration. She thought that it was strange that most of the students were second and third-year students. She barely saw any first-year students.
Many students were there to enjoy the show, and so the registration spot was overly crowded. It was a good thing that Shen Yanxiao was not in a hurry. She still had plenty of time before it was noon.
Just then, Shangguan Xiao walked out of the library and went toward the registration spot.
His appearance had added fire to the bustle at the registration point.
“Is Shangguan Xiao still participating this month?” It seemed like a student who was prepared to register had suffered an enormous blow.
“Oh my god, does that mean it’s hopeless for us?” Another student wept without tears.
