Chapter 982 - Four Regions Tournament (5)

The five beasts instantly felt as if their hearts were cured.

In any case, they were her senior uncles. It was not impossible for them to take care of a little kid, right?

Plus, Nangong Mengmeng was already Shen Yanxiao’s disciple. She could be considered their junior. They would just treat it as taking care of their junior.

After thinking for a bit, the five young, vigorous ‘Senior Uncles’ accepted Nangong Mengmeng’s respectful address.

This feeling… was great!

“Cough, I have no objections. In any case, with the few of us there, we don’t have to worry about the other side causing trouble. Since Martial Niece wishes to have some fun, go ahead.” Tang Nazhi immediately put on the airs of a senior and used the term ‘Martial Niece’ rather smoothly.

The feeling of a girl suddenly posing as his junior truly made him feel like he had suddenly climbed up the seniority ladder.

The five of them had completely forgotten that Nangong Mengmeng’s actual age was basically the same as them. Instead, it was Shen Yanxiao who was the real kid.

“Oh! Long live Teacher!” Nangong Mengmeng cheered.

“Long live… Teacher…” Tang Nazhi’s lips twitched. They were the ones who agreed to it. Shen Yanxiao did not even say anything. So why did that girl sing praises of her teacher? Wasn’t she supposed to thank them instead?

As expected of Shen Yanxiao’s student, her personality was the same as her teacher!

Tang Nazhi silently swallowed the blood in his throat.

Shen Yanxiao was famous for being protective. She was even more savage than a man when it came to protecting her people. He did not dare to challenge her dear student in front of her.

Shen Yanxiao found Nangong Mengmeng’s actions interesting.

Nangong Mengmeng’s thoughts were written all over her face. There was no need to doubt her respect and admiration for her.

During their time together, Shen Yanxiao liked this student of hers more and more.

After the participants for the three battles were finalized, Shen Yanxiao sent someone to arrange her luggage, and in two days they would depart.

After everyone had left, Lan Fengli stood by Shen Yanxiao’s side with his head lowered and silently pulled on the corner of her clothes.

“What’s wrong?” Shen Yanxiao looked at Lan Fengli. This kid was making her heart ache again.

“Sister… are you leaving again?” Lan Fengli’s voice was soft but the nervousness in his voice could not be hidden.

Shen Yanxiao was getting busier and busier day-by-day, and he could hardly be with her often. He was unwilling to continue burdening her. So, for most of the time, he would just look at Shen Yanxiao from afar and not disturb her.

However, Shen Yanxiao was leaving again, cutting off the last smidget of time he had with her.

Lan Fengli felt as if his heart was being squeezed.

Shen Yanxiao felt her heart ache. Lan Fengli was really well-behaved these days. He never did cause her any trouble. When she needed him, he would be by her side. When she did not need him, he would quietly stand by her side. Even when Nangong Mengmeng proposed to participate, he did not stand out and say that he wanted to participate.

Shen Yanxiao knew that Lan Fengli relied on her for some reason. And because she did not ask for him to participate, he did not even suggest it.

Shen Yanxiao could not help but feel sorry for him.

“Xiao Feng, do you want to come with me?” Shen Yanxiao gritted her teeth. Ultimately, she decided to bring Lan Fengli with her to Twilight City. As long as she did not let him take action, he would not be easily discovered after disguising himself.

Lan Fengli suddenly looked up, and a trace of pleasant surprise flashed past his clear eyes.

“Can… can I go too?”

“Of course.”
