It had been a tacit understanding between the four of them. They never needed to discuss anything beforehand, and they were used to react ording to the situation at hand. However, they overlooked a little problem with their usual arrangement, and that was Shen Jue. The little guy did not have the same background as them, so he could not behave as unconcerned as they did. Furthermore, outsiders were harsh with their words too.
The decision that they took led everyone tobel Shen Jue as someone who rode on another’s person’s coattail. No one knew that if it were not for Shen Jue’s timely delivery of the antidote, all of those young masters from the five great aristocratic families would have been crammed into the red ss. They would not have been able to remain in the violet ss.
When he heard thements about Shen Jue, Tang Nazhi felt as if a needle had pierced his heart. Even though he was unbridled, he did not wish to implicate a valuedrade.
“Why don’t I discuss it with the three of themter, so that we can exin the antidote situation with the teachers? In this case, no one would dare to belittle you anymore.” The more he thought about it; the more Tang Nazhi realized that he should not have taken the credit for Shen Yanxiao’s contribution. It was apparent that the littled was a genius in herbalism, and those morons had regarded her as trash.
Shen Yanxiao became unsettled the moment she heard that Tang Nazhi intended to exin the incident with the antidote. She promptly shook her head and said, “There’s no need for that. I think this is pretty good for me. I don’t like trouble, and why should I care about how other people see me anyway?
What a joke! Shen Yanxiao sensed that the teacher named Ling Yue had his initial suspicions about her. Fortunately, Qi Xia and Tang Nazhi managed to fool him, albeit with great difficulties. If Tang Nazhi were to go to him to exin what had happened, they would probably see her as a thief and arrest her.
Furthermore, she had no way to exin how she obtained those antidotes.
“Do you really think so?” Tang Nazhi asked with uncertainty in his voice.
“Yes,” Shen Yanxiao said with a firm nod.
Tang Nazhi sighed and rubbed Shen Yanxiao’s head roughly. Then he smiled and said, “You sure have a good temper. You have such great talents, and yet it seemed like you have grown ustomed to concealing your abilities. You would rather let others underestimate you than to tell them that you are actually a genius in herbalism!” Tang Nazhi valued hisck of desire for fame. Perhaps Shen Jue’s achievements were due to his devotion to herbalism andck of care for fame and wealth? Tang Nazhi secretly admired him for how his mind worked.
However, Shen Yanxiao could only suffer in silence. She did not understand how Tang Nazhi could see her as someone with a noble characteristic and with unquestionable integrity. Furthermore, why would he think that she was talented in herbalism? At that point, she could not even produce the simplest potion.
It was a big and outrageous misunderstanding.
While they were busy with their own thoughts, they heard a shout that told everyone to gather around. So, all the students at the public square gathered in front of the tform.
Tang Nazhi dragged Shen Yanxiao toward that destination and found Qi Xia, Yang Xi, and Yanyu, who were already standing among the crowd.
“How are your results?” Tang Nazhi happily asked Qi Xia and the rest of the group.
“As usual, violet ss.” Qi Xia shrugged his shoulders. They had overheard their results from the other students’ gossips. They did not even have to check them out personally.
“Hehe, Little Jue, and I both got into the violet ss too.” Tang Nazhi said with a smile.
“That’s to be expected.” Qi Xia nced at Shen Yanxiao, who Tang Nazhi had dragged with him and smiled at her.
“I’ve heard some bad rumors about you. Are you okay?” Qi Xia asked.
Shen Yanxiao intuitively knew what he had heard and shook her head.
