The Good-for-Nothing Seventh Miss - Chapter 450

Chapter 450: Karma (1)

The atmosphere was rather depressing at the Herbalist Division.

Ouyang Huanyu looked at the two students whose breathing was as thin as a thread with a complicated expression on his face.

Pu Lisi was there also, and his face looked as if he had aged dozens of years. Even his straight back was bent as he stared at the ground with a grim expression.

Ye Qing and the Priest Division’s head stood by Shangguan Xiao and Luo Fan’s beds, and they also had a weird expression on their faces.

Shangguan Xiao and Luo Fan’s condition had deteriorated to the worst-case scenario. Despite protection from the blessings, they still could not prevent the continued damage to their meridians. They were in a deep coma, and if it were not for Ye Qing and the Priest Division’s head cooperation to stabilize their pulse, they would have met their end.

However, they could not sustain that situation for a prolonged period.

“There’s still no news of Shen Jue?” Ouyang Huanyu rubbed his forehead as a headache followed. The news that he had received in the middle of the night had resulted in a sleepless night.

Shangguan Xiao was Pu Lisi’s disciple, and despite his humble background, he had apparent talents in herbalism. Furthermore, he had obtained Pu Lisi’s acknowledgement, and Ouyang Huanyu had also decided for him to represent the Saint Laurent Academy’s Herbalist Division in the competition in four months.

However, since they were in that predicament, everything had hung in the balance.

Luo Fan’s situation was even more complicated. He was a student from the Blue Moon Dynasty’s Yates Academy, and even though their countries seemed to have a good relationship on the surface, they had gone through numerous clashes in private. Luo Fan’s family was also quite influential in the Blue Moon Dynasty. If anything were to happen to him while he was at the Saint Laurent Academy, it would probably invite more trouble for the school.

If it were not a matter of great importance, Ouyang Huanyu would not have stayed vigil for the entire night. He would not have personally beseech Ye Qing to help either.

Even so, everything was only a temporary measure. If they wanted to save Shangguan Xiao and Luo Fan, they would need to find Shen Jue, the person who had concocted the potion. He was the only person who knew what they had drunk.

“I found him! I’ve found him! Shen Jue has returned, and he’s making his way here.” One of the teachers ran in as he panted heavily.

Ouyang Huanyu finally breathed a sigh of relief. The little brat who had caused so much trouble had finally arrived.

Shen Yanxiao’s petite figure appeared at the entrance soon after that announcement. Qi Xia, Yan Yu, and Yang Xi trailed behind her.

“I wonder what I can do for the dean?” Shen Yanxiao had bumped into Luo De when she returned, and he had told her that Ouyang Huanyu was looking for her. So she had rushed there in haste.

She already knew the reason Ouyang Huanyu had wanted to see her so eagerly. It must have been something related to Shangguan Xiao and Luo Fan.

“You are Shen Jue?” Ouyang Huanyu squinted his eyes and looked at the unusually petite Shen Yanxiao. He had a chance encounter with her when he laid in wait at the Warlock Division. However, he had not paid her any attention at that time.

It was only until Ye Qing had accepted her as a disciple before he had some interest in her and started an investigation into that little brat.

The results of the investigation were somewhat lackluster, and there was nothing there that would warrant his attention.

“Yes, I am Shen Jue.” Shen Yanxiao answered honestly, but a smile was reflected in her eyes when she saw the half-dead Shangguan Xiao and Luo Fan from the corner of her eyes.

“What is the detrimental potion you used when you competed against Shangguan Xiao and Luo Fan yesterday?” Ouyang Huanyu decided to cut the chase.
