“You… didn’t go back to the Royal Academy with the other students?” Zhanye was stiff for a long time before this sentence popped out of his mouth.

Fengling looked away and said, “This has nothing to do with you.”

Zhanye was somewhat embarrassed and scratched his head irritably.

“Well, I’m sorry about what happened on the day of the competition. I didn’t know…”

Before Zhanye could finish speaking, Fengling had already smashed the food in his hand onto Zhanye’s face.

The greasy food slid down Zhanye’s handsome cheeks and dirtied his brand-new clothes, but there was not the slightest anger on his face, instead he looked even more apologetic.

“You don’t know anything, and you won’t say anything. Otherwise…” Fengling narrowed his eyes and looked at Zhanye, followed by his clenched fists making a crisp sound.

Zhanye swallowed his saliva and nodded stiffly.

Fengling glared at Zhanye in annoyance, then directly turned around and walked out of the inn.

“How angry.” A teasing voice suddenly sounded from above the stairs.

Zhanye looked up in surprise and saw Shen Yanxiao patting the railings, looking at Zhanye with a smile.

Zhanye’s face turned red in an instant.

“Boss!”

“It’s a pity that your clean clothes are now dirty.” Shen Yanxiao blinked her eyes. Looking at the somewhat embarrassed Zhanye, she heartlessly teased her own brat.

Zhanye’s expression became even more awkward.

“It’s my fault. It’s… right for him to do this to me.” Zhanye lowered his head and silently wiped the grease off his face with his sleeve.

“The students of the Royal Academy have already left, but he’s still here. Zhanye, don’t you think it’s strange?” Shen Yanxiao propped her chin with one hand, not intending to end this interesting conversation so soon.

“Uh…” For a moment, Zhanye did not know how to answer.

“Zhanye.”

“Yes!” Zhanye trembled and stood upright.

“What do you think of that guy named Fengling?” Shen Yanxiao asked.

Zhanye opened his mouth and held back for a long time before saying, “He is very outstanding and talented. If it were a real one-on-one fight, I might not be his opponent.”

On the day of the competition, Fengling was the only one who had preserved a certain degree of fighting strength. In order to help his companions out, he was besieged by the Flaming Red Squad. By the time Zhanye fought him, he was already very tired.

To be fair, Zhanye felt that he was not worthy of his victory.

“His death energy is very strong, and he has some achievements in physical skills. Your words are very objective. He is indeed a little better than you.” Shen Yanxiao did not care that she was praising “other people’s children”.

“Yes.” Zhanye nodded.

Shen Yanxiao smiled. “If there’s a chance for him to become your companion, do you think it’s a good thing or a bad thing?”

“Ah?” Zhanye was a little dumbfounded. He did not understand why Shen Yanxiao would say that.

Shen Yanxiao shrugged her shoulders. “It’s alright. Change your clothes first.”

Zhanye was a little confused by Shen Yanxiao, but the grease on his body made him feel very uncomfortable. He could only obediently run back and change his clothes.

Shen Yanxiao looked at the departing back of Zhanye’s, and then at the direction Fengling left in. The nasty little flames in her eyes kept jumping.

A day later, Kehr personally helped send a message from the Undead Lord, which invited all the members of the Flaming Red Squad and Shen Yanxiao, their mentor, to the palace for dinner.
