Chapter 554: Inter-academy Tournament (44)
If they did not suppress their mythical beasts when the Vermilion Bird appeared, it would be terrifying to see all mythical beasts in the stadium.
The word ‘earth-shattering’ would not be enough to describe it.
“Oh right, I didn’t see you recall the Vermilion Bird, even after you left. Is it alright to leave at the stadium?” Qi Xia glanced at Shen Yanxiao with a thoughtful expression.
Shen Yanxiao stiffened, and the chopstick in her hands dropped into the bowl.
“I… forgot about him.”
“…” The four beasts were shocked into silence.
“Please excuse me a moment!” Shen Yanxiao immediately stood up and dashed toward the stadium.
She was so accustomed to moving by herself that she had forgotten that the Vermillion Bird was at the stadium too. After the tournament had ended, she had left with her friends. She did not even remember to bring the mythical beast with her!
Shen Yanxiao opened the door and saw a sad small face in front of her.
“…” Shen Yanxiao opened her mouth as she looked at the Vermilion Bird, who was outside the door. Their mental connection allowed the mythical beast to find the exact location of their master almost immediately.
The Vermilion Bird pouted with an angry expression as his eyes watered; he was upset because Shen Yanxiao had abandoned him.
Yun Qi and Lan Fengli stood behind the Vermilion Bird as they looked at Shen Yanxiao’s helpless expression.
“I was just about to…” Shen Yanxiao knew that she was in the wrong, and so, she felt guilty when she saw the Vermilion Bird’s pitiful eyes.
“You abandoned me, left me all alone.” Tears welled in his eyes, and he pretended to be strong while he tried not to cry. However, his face was full of grievances.
Shen Yanxiao felt the onset of a headache.
“You said that you wouldn’t do it again.”
Shen Yanxiao knew that he was worried because he remembered how she had suddenly disappeared from the Graveyard of the Sun. She had promised that she would not go missing again. However, it was an accident!
“This…”
“You’re a liar!” The Vermilion Bird pointed his tiny fingers at Shen Yanxiao. Bead-sized tears trickled from the corner of his eyes.
“…” Shen Yanxiao felt so guilty.
“This is the Vermilion Bird?” Just as the Vermilion Bird and Shen Yanxiao were confronting each other, the four beasts in the room could not remain seated as they peeked out the door. When they saw the grieving Vermilion Bird, they were surprised and… curious?
Shen Yanxiao rubbed her temple and pulled the Vermilion Bird into the room.
Lan Fengli and Yun Qi also followed suit before they shut the door behind them.
Shen Yanxiao briefly introduced her companions, and the four beasts had so much respect for the mysterious Warlock, Yun Qi.
Yun Qi smiled when he realized that they treated him with respect. It was hard to find people who did not harbor ill feelings for Warlocks. It seemed like his student’s friends had great personalities.
The four of them conversed with Yun Qi before they focused their attention on the Vermilion Bird.
Shen Yanxiao sat beside the Vermilion Bird as she tried to appease him. She promised him that she would not repeat the same thing again.
It was only then that the Vermilion Bird eased his expression.
“What are you looking at?!” Even though the Vermilion Bird had already forgiven Shen Yanxiao, he was still displeased when the four young men had stared at him.
The Vermillion Bird would never treat anyone other than its master pleasantly.
“You’re really the Vermilion Bird?” Tang Nazhi blinked. It was hard to imagine that the little brat in front of him was the legendary Vermilion Bird.
