The Good-for-Nothing Seventh Miss

Chapter 242-244 Interrogation

“Don’t make a sound.” The voice whispered in her ear as warm air touched her neck.

Shen Yanxiao was surprised that someone was there. She turned her head and saw Qi Xia’s handsome face.

Why was he there? Shen Yanxiao looked at Qi Xia in surprise. At the same time, she questioned Xiu in her mind.

“I didn’t notice his presence.” Xiu wondered about the same thing, and it puzzled him. He had focused all of his attention on Ouyang Huanyu, and so he did not notice that someone else was there.

As Shen Yanxiao pondered on the same question, Ouyang Huanyu advanced closer to them.

When he realized that Ouyang Huanyu had no intention to stop, Qi Xia grabbed Shen Yanxiao’s hand and ushered her out of their hiding spot

Their appearance surprised Ouyang Huanyu.

Ouyang Huanyu was puzzled. He thought that he only sensed one presence, and yet two people appeared in front of him.

“Good evening, Dean,” Qi Xia greeted Ouyang Huanyu with a lazy smile.

Ouyang Huanyu watched the two of them thoughtfully. He had a rather complicated expression on his face.

Just as Ouyang Huanyu was about to speak, footsteps raced ahead.

!!..
Three slender figures marched toward them, but they stopped when they saw Ouyang Huanyu at the entrance of the Warlock Division.

Ouyang Huanyu had a slight frown on his forehead. However, when he saw the three figures stood frozen in place, his frowns deepened.

Five students stood in front of him, and they include Yan Yu from the Priest Division, Yang Xi from the Knight’s Division, and Qi Xia from the Magic Division. Shen Yanxiao and Tang Nazhi, first-year students from the Herbalist Division, were also with them. What were they doing there?

Ouyang Huanyu went to the Warlock Division because he was curious about Yun Qi’s student. He had wanted to catch the student that night, but it seemed like something else had landed in his net.

He did not expect that to happen.

“Dean!” Tang Nazhi blinked, and then he greeted the dean respectfully.

Yan Yu and Yang Xi greeted the dean as well. Even as they paid their respects to Ouyang Huanyu, their eyes would shift to Qi Xia and Shen Yanxiao.

“What are you doing here? Are you not supposed to be sleeping?” Those five kids had ruined his plans. Ouyang Huanyu might be good-tempered, but he still felt annoyed about that.

Qi Xia smiled and said, “Nothing much. We were just planning to sneak into the Warlock Division tonight to take a look around. However, we didn’t expect to see Dean here.”

Sneak into the Warlock Division?

It was not the first time that it had happened. Everyone was afraid of the warlocks, but the mystery and the danger that the profession entailed always tempted the youngsters. Many of the Saint Laurent Academy’s students had attempted similar feats. They would try to sneak into the Warlock Division, but alas, most of them would be spotted by the night watcher and then sent back to their dormitory.

Ouyang Huanyu was speechless. He had planned to catch a novice warlock, but he had managed to find errant students who had wanted to sneak into the Warlock Division instead.

“Did you forget about the rules in our academy? The Warlock Division is not somewhere a student can go without explicit permission.” Qi Xia had confessed about their plans almost immediately, but Ouyang Huanyu already knew that they were not Yun Qi students. Three of them were the top student in their respective divisions, and Tang Nazhi and Shen Jue were first-year students from the Herbalist Division. All five students were very talented in their chosen paths, and so they would not have joined the Warlock Division midway through their studies.
