Chapter 1260: Have a Talk? (2)

Aeternatrix: *cough* I swear that I didn't forget that it was supposed to be 5 chapters today, I swear... I just thought that today was yesterday

"How can she progress so fast?" Qie Er frowned at his own record. It was truly hard for him to imagine that there would be such an elf who could progress so quickly in such a short period of time.

Just as Qie Er remained perplexed despite much thought, a voice with a hint of a smile sounded behind him.

"Is it really that fast?"

Qie Er stood up in astonishment and turned around to look at the owner of the voice.

Unbeknownst to him, Shen Yanxiao had appeared at the door of his room. The delicate little elf was leaning against the doorframe as a smile was plastered on her face and her green eyes were staring at him.

"Yan Xiao! What are you doing here?" Qie Er immediately closed the sheepskin book and looked at Shen Yanxiao with some hostility.

He had already heard the news that Shen Yanxiao had been "acquitted and released", but Qie Er did not believe in the outcome of the interrogation. Except for Shen Yanxiao, Shui Ling had not been exposed to any dangerous matter during this time. Even the potions he had used for his recovery had been tested beforehand by the Pharmacists in the advanced training camp, and no abnormalities had been discovered.

However, Shui Ling had inexplicably died. Qie Er then decided that this should be related to Shen Yanxiao!

Shen Yanxiao raised her eyebrow, looking at Qie Er who had an unhappy expression. She walked freely into the room with her arms crossed over her chest and randomly found a chair to sit down upon.

"I came to have a talk with you."

"What is there to talk about between you and me?" Qie Er's face appeared a little nervous. He was shocked by his previous observations of Shen Yanxiao. Others might not know, but Qie Er was very clear that a large part of the reason for the conflict between Shen Yanxiao and Shui Ling was due to him secretly leading Shui Ling's actions.

Now that Shui Ling was dead, Qie Er somehow felt afraid and hostile towards Shen Yanxiao at the same time.

"How could there not be?" Shen Yanxiao raised her eyebrows and smiled, "You are the instructor of our batch. You are the one responsible for training us. If I don't understand something, of course, I have to talk with you."

Qie Er gritted his teeth. He feigned calmness as he sat down.

"Well then, what do you not understand? I will try my best to answer you, but after that, please leave immediately." He really did not want to be alone with Shen Yanxiao at all.

Shen Yanxiao crossed her legs and calmly stared at the tense Qie Er. Qie Er's private schemes had long been exposed to Shen Yanxiao's eyes. She didn't want to pursue it before because she was too lazy to spend her energy on this matter. However, the situation was now different.

"Qie Er, there is one thing I've always been wondering about."

"Tell me what it is." Qie Er slightly creased his brows.

"Oh. I just want to know, why do you hate me so much?" Shen Yanxiao smilingly asked.

Qie Er's heart quivered.

She's aware of it!

"What are you talking about? How can I hate you, you are the same as the other elves to me. You think too much." Qie Er immediately denied her question.

Shen Yanxiao chuckled and unhurriedly said, "Is that so? Then, you did not deliberately praise An Ran to provoke the dissatisfaction of other elves? You did not acquiesce in Shui Ling's actions of making things difficult for An Ran? Did you agree with my fight against Shui Ling, thinking that it was really just comparing notes?"

Every time Shen Yanxiao uttered one question, Qie Er's heart couldn't help but jolt sharply.

Shen Yanxiao did not wait for Qie Er to answer and just went on talking.

"As an instructor, you have indulged the infighting between the elves. Qie Er, your practice has violated the rules of the advanced training camp."

"What are you talking about?! I don't understand anything you said!" Qie Er fiercely protested.
