As the day went on, all the students eventually returned to their dormitory, and that included Tang Nazhi.
A smile immediately blossomed on his face as soon as he saw Shen Yanxiao.
“Is everything well? Did your teacher came up with a solution?” He had spent the entire morning in the Priest Division, and fortunately, nothing unexpected had happened.
Shen Yanxiao smiled and said, “Everything’s good. I’ve got a way to hide from Ouyang Huanyu’s perception magic.” If it was not for Ouyang Huanyu’s magic, how could she possibly get discovered with her skills? With the Moonlight Necklace’s protection, she was a hundred percent confident that she would be able to sneak into the Warlock Division from right under his nose.
“That’s great! You haven’t eaten yet, right? Let’s go, Qi Xia and the rest of them had invited us for a good meal at noontime.” Tang Nazhi also felt relieved, so he smiled as he reached out to put his hands on Shen Yanxiao’s shoulder.
However, he remembered Shen Yanxiao’s gender the very next second, and so he retracted his hand awkwardly.
Shen Yanxiao looked at Tang Nazhi’s stiff actions, and she did not know whether she should laugh or cry. So, she took his hand and put it on her shoulder and then said with a smile on her face, “Let’s go eat!”
Tang Nazhi trembled and acted as obedient as a cat, and he allowed Shen Yanxiao to drag him out of the dormitory. At the very same time, his heart pounded wildly.
After he found out Shen Yanxiao’s real gender, it felt as if something had changed. He used to think that she smelled nice. It was not a perfume or a floral scent, but it was very different than stinky youths like him too. Therefore, he liked to stay close to Shen Yanxiao.
However, at that moment, he felt as if the scent was much more enticing.
Could it be…
Was it the scent of a woman?
Tang Nazhi looked up at the skies speechlessly. Shen Yanxiao was only thirteen years old, for goodness sake! She was a brat who had yet to develop. Was he that thirsty for a woman that he would misinterpret the smell on her body as the fragrance of a woman?
Had it been so long since he interacted with a beauty that it would result in such unimaginable illusion?
Tang Nazhi’s mind was a blank as they made their journey to the agreed location, and they had arrived there in the blink of an eye.
Qi Xia had managed to get a cook for the occasion, and he had started a fire for the five of them. The taste of their meal was so good that the food at the canteen could not even compare.
While they ate, Shen Yanxiao handed Qi Xia a medicinal ingredient list that she had written beforehand and asked him to gather them for her.
Qi Xia looked through the list and frowned. Although he knew nothing about herbalism, he could still easily determine the value of those medicinal ingredients.
“You will need at least millions of gold coins to get everything on this list.” Two or three of those precious ingredients would have already cost her hundreds of thousands of gold coins.
“Please try to see if you can get them. If you can’t, then I’ll have to think of another way.” Shen Yanxiao shrugged her shoulders. She could not leak the ingredient list for the Blood Banquet Potion, and she did not trust any other person to search for the medicinal ingredients for her.
“I will do my best, but some ingredients on this list can’t be bought, not even with money,” Qi Xia said.
Shen Yanxiao frowned at that information. She had antic.i.p.ated that those medicinal ingredients would not be easy to find. Yun Qi mentioned that even Ouyang Huanyu could not obtain all of them.
“Are these medicinal ingredients that important to you?” Qi Xia asked when he noticed Shen Yanxiao’s reaction.
Shen Yanxiao nodded at his question.
