Chapter 177: So Embarrassing (2)
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“Are you serious?” Lin Xuan looked at ShenYanxiao in surprise. Even though his roommate was younger than him, Lin Xuan had an inexplicable trust in him. He thought that Shen Yanxiao was an outstanding person, and he even placed him above Tang Nazhi of the Black Tortoise Family.
Lin Xuan had a ‘misconception’ about Tang Nazhi’s attitude with Shen Yanxiao at the Saint Laurent Academy. He was practically… Shen Jue’s lackey!
“Uh-huh.” Shen Yanxiao nodded.
Lin Xuan thanked Shen Yanxiao for her auspicious words. Afraid that he would disrupt Shen Yanxiao from her rest, he immediately returned to his spot and continued with his reading.
Shen Yanxiao was not tired. Other than a slight consumption when she cast the curses, she did not move much. She rode on her teammates’ coattails for the remaining few days of the test, and the most exercise she had was when she had to pick up those badges.
Shen Yanxiao felt uncomfortable with the doubts in her mind, but she was too lazy to continue to think about it. She decided to leave the tent and walked toward Qi Xia’s tent.
Within the encampment, the students from the three divisions who fought among themselves previously had an odd expression on their faces when they saw Shen Yanxiao.
“Hey, is this little guy the lucky kid who tagged along with Qi Xia’s team?” A student asked his companion as he pointed toward Shen Yanxiao.
“That’s the one. He must be a lucky bastard to have been grouped with four of the young masters of the five great aristocratic families. I heard that this little guy did not do anything throughout the test and only followed behind them to pick up the badges. Didn’t you see him covered with badges when he came back? Did you think that trash could obtain so many badges by himself? He was probably lucky that Qi Xia found him pitiful and gave him more badges because of that.” Those envious students were quite upset.
“Some people get all the luck, and we just can’t compare to them. This little kid seemed to be in the same dormitory as Tang Nazhi. Perhaps he had begged Tang Nazhi to let him onto their team. Otherwise, do you think he deserves to be in the same team as young masters of the five great aristocratic families with his dull appearance?” The students could only be envious of Qi Xia’s team when they returned from a fruitful journey. They did not dare to badmouth about the rest of the members in that team.
However, it was different for Shen Yanxiao. Her identity was only as a member of one of the branches of the Vermilion Bird Family. Members of branch families were not highly valued. With Shen Yanxiao’s deliberate dull appearance and her plain items of clothing, everyone thought she was an insignificant side character.
However, she was also the side character who managed to ride on four influential students’ coattails, and she even managed to obtain so many badges that other students could only yearn for. It was an unbearable situation for most of those students.
“Some people from the lower status can be unscrupulous to achieve their motives. They are willing to act meek, subservient, and even do dirty tricks. This is not something we can easily learn.” Undisguised sharp and unkind words could be heard from a few of those students.
They were not worried about any consequences if he were to hear them. He was only a first-year student in the Herbalist Division, and he was very young too. How could he go against those from the fighting professions?
Shen Yanxiao walked past them without any sideways glances. It was as if she did not hear any of those harsh words of contempt.
She walked to Qi Xia’s tent without a single word to anyone else and entered the tent.
“See, this little kid must have gone to fawn over Qi Xia again. Shameless.” The students who saw where she went immediately gossiped about that rudely.
The mood inside the tent was also somewhat odd.
