Soon, Duan Hen and Long Fei could be seen walking up the stage. At the sight of each other, the two of them immediately summoned their magical beasts.
Long Fei’s magical beast was a griffin—a high-level magical beast. On the other side, Duan Hen’s magical beast was the mythical beast, the Redflame Beast. The disparity between the size of the two beasts was huge.
Moreover, Duan Hen was an Archer, making him adept at long-range combat. Long Fei was a classic Swordsman, and if he wished to obtain victory, he would need to be able to approach Duan Hen under the Redflame Beast’s obstruction.
The fight between the two went into full swing, and the entire venue was in an uproar.
Nangong Mengmeng looked around and stared at Shen Yanxiao in fear before asking carefully, “Teacher, why isn’t Vermilion Bird here?”
If the Redflame Beast were here, Vermilion Bird would have sat there and cursed him until no tomorrow. But surprisingly he wasn’t here today.
Shen Yanxiao looked straight ahead and stared at the fight on stage as she coldly said, “Resting.”
“Erm…” Nangong Mengmeng secretly swallowed her saliva. She felt as if she was about to freeze into a lump of ice.
What was wrong with Teacher today? Why was she being so cold while exuding an air of elegance? She was not used to it!
Almost everyone subconsciously pulled away from Shen Yanxiao. It was not that they were being disrespectful to their City Lord, but her aura was simply off the charts today. Not to mention getting close to her, everyone felt that it was blasphemy to even utter a single word in her presence.
Something was not right!
When did their City Lord become so terrifying?
Everyone was filled with doubts, but no one dared to utter a single word. Even Tang Nazhi, who was usually unfettered by everything, subconsciously shut his mouth in front of Shen Yanxiao, not daring to speak nonsense.
This feeling was completely different from the past. On normal days, Shen Yanxiao gave off a powerful yet easy-going aura. However, today, she was practically a moving iceberg! Furthermore, it was moving while releasing a chilly aura!
Even the Emperor of the Longxuan Empire was not as domineering as her.
Shen Yanxiao watched the fight for a while before suddenly standing up under everyone’s astonished gaze.
“T-Teacher… what are you doing?” Nangong Mengmeng looked at Shen Yanxiao as if she was about to cry.
Shen Yanxiao said coldly, “Let’s go back.”
“Eh?” Everyone was shocked. They were going back just like this? The fight had only started not long ago.
“You may continue watching.” Shen Yanxiao gave a concise answer and left the venue without looking back.
The members of Sun Never Sets who came were left confused.
“Is Xiaoxiao unwell?” Tang Nazhi looked at Shen Yanxiao departing with his gaze. Unable to suppress his inner doubts, he dragged his other four friends to discuss the matter.
“Maybe.” Yan Yu also felt that Shen Yanxiao was acting weird today.
“Why don’t we go back and visit her? How can we be at ease like this?” Tang Nazhi recalled the two times Shen Yanxiao fell sick in Saint Laurent Academy and could not help but worry if this little girl had fallen sick due to the pressure of the upcoming fight.
“Sure.” Qi Xia nodded. He already wasn’t too interested in this fight. Plus, Shen Yanxiao’s matter was more worthy of his attention.
The five beasts immediately bid farewell to everyone and left. Nangong Mengmeng wanted to follow but was stopped by Tang Nazhi. He told her to watch the fight properly and to convey it to them when she returned.
When Shen Yanxiao returned to the building, she bumped into Evil Wolf.
Evil Wolf had just recovered so his walking speed was still somewhat slow. As most of the members of the Cave Wolves Mercenary Group had yet to recover, they were staying back at the residence resting, missing out on the fight.
