The Good-for-Nothing Seventh Miss - Chapter 286

Chapter 286: Ye Qing’s Invitation (3)

Talented and courageous juniors were pretty hard to come by those days. Which herbalist would not grovel at the feet of a Great Herbalist? Who would have the courage to reject an offer from a Great Herbalist?

Shen Yanxiao had rejected Pu Lisi, and so, Ye Qing had a favorable impression of her.

A submissive person would never reach the peak of their profession. For one to reach the peak, one must abandon many secular concepts of the world and devote themselves to surpass their rivals’ accomplishments.

“I have some other things to handle today. You should return to your dormitory for the time being and report here first thing tomorrow morning.” Ye Qing was in a pleasant mood as he had accepted a rather amiable disciple.

“I understand.” Shen Yanxiao was also in a good mood because she had found an herbalist mentor that she liked.

In contrast, Pu Lisi was in a nasty mood because Shen Yanxiao had rejected his offer.

Shen Yanxiao had caused him to lose face again, and he had already planned to ask Ouyang Huanyu to expel the student, who did not appreciate a kind offer from him, from the Saint Laurent Academy. However, he did not expect that Shen Yanxiao would become Ye Qing’s disciple instead. Thus, even if he had the courage, he dared not cause trouble for Shen Yanxiao so openly.

“Pu Lisi, please follow me. I’ve gathered all the Great Herbalists as I have something to discuss with all of you.” After Ye Qing had arranged for Shen Yanxiao’s matters, he immediately brought up the reason why he came for Pu Lisi that day.

Pu Lisi gnashed his teeth, but he did not dare to reveal the slightest hint of unhappiness.

He could only follow Ye Qing and left the room with extreme hatred for Shen Yanxiao.

As for Shangguan Xiao, he looked at Shen Yanxiao awkwardly.

Ten minutes before all of that happened, he was the most promising student with the brightest prospect in the Herbalist Division. However, it looked like his position had become slightly uncertain when Shen Yanxiao accepted Ye Qing’s offer.

Unfortunately, the two other people in the room did not care for his feelings.

After Ye Qing and Pu Lisi had left, Luo De clapped Shen Yanxiao’s shoulder with joy.

“Good lad. Now that you’ve obtained Great Master Ye Qing’s favor, your future will be boundless.” It had gone better than his expectations, and Luo De was sincerely happy for Shen Yanxiao.

Shen Yanxiao touched her nose as she looked at a smiling Luo De and said, “Thank you, teacher Luo De for your recommendation.” Both of them only had a brief contact during the enrollment test, but he had helped to pave the road for her future. Thus, she was quite thankful for Luo De.

“There’s no need for that. You must work hard when you’re with Great Master Ye Qing. I am sure you will make a great name for yourself in the Longxuan Empire in the future.” Luo De was very optimistic about Shen Yanxiao’s future. Both her talent and Ye Qing’s guidance were rare in those days.

Shen Yanxiao gave him a small smile, but she did not say anything else.

She would work hard, especially if it were for Yun Qi.

At that moment, her daily schedule would prove to be more compact. She would need to fully utilize her time in a day to get good progress in her studies in herbalism, warlock, and archery.

Shen Yanxiao could only sigh when she thought of the long road ahead.

She knew that there was no free lunch in the world, and she would need to put in more effort than other people if she wanted to get stronger.
