The rumored Warlock turned out to be a beautiful maiden from the Vermillion Bird Clan, and she had even tamed the Mythological Beast Vermillion Bird!

Even though they were well aware that one could not summon their magical beast in this school tournament, people could still not calm down!

Looking at that gigantic firebird which was still hovering over the venue, all the people who had just ridiculed the Warlock obediently shut their mouths and swallowed their saliva unconsciously.

If they knew that the Warlock partic.i.p.ating in the tournament had such a background, even if they were given a hundred courage, they still absolutely would not dare to utter a single word!

Among the crowd, Yun Qi looked at Shen Yanxiao excitedly, the corner of his eyes moistening.

This child, she really exposed her real ident.i.ty in front of many people without any scruples; what kind of courage did she have in the end?

Even if she was a member of the Vermillion Bird Clan and had the Vermillion Bird's protection, the repeated rumor becomes a fact that now, all people in Radiance Continent held a deep-rooted hatred for the Warlocks. She was so willing to reveal her ident.i.ty before everyone despite the fact that in the future, she would certainly receive endless accusations and criticisms.

The reason why she did this today was to stand up and tell everyone that she— Shen Yanxiao— was a Warlock. So that everyone knew that she acknowledged the existence of Warlock, and she was determined to represent the Warlock in the compet.i.tion in her own name.

But, even the powerful men could not stand the countless criticisms of thousands of people. Yun Qi himself had experienced the sorrow of the Warlocks in the Radiance Continent. He deeply understood what kind of future Shen Yanxiao was about to face.

At this moment, Yun Qi felt that he was really fortunate; fortunate that he had met Shen Yanxiao, fortunate that he had been courageous enough to take this dare, and that there was a little girl that was willing to face such criticisms for his own beliefs!

The crowd did not dare to flare up on the spot because they feared the majesty of Vermillion Bird and the Vermillion Bird Clan. But Yun Qi knew very well that in these people's hearts, Shen Yanxiao had already been scorned hundreds of times.

He was proud of his own disciple, but also worried about her at the same time.

Shen Yanxiao's face held a smile. She just stood in place and welcomed all the unfriendly eyes from all directions, her heart without a trace of wavering.

At the moment she decided to partic.i.p.ate in the school tournament as a Warlock, she had already thought it over.

Regardless of the reason why she had to repeatedly hide her ident.i.ty before, at this moment!

She!

Shen Yanxiao of the Vermillion Bird Clan!

Is a Warlock!

Even if the world loathed her!

Even if all the people treat her with contempt!

She!

Will never dishonor the Warlock's dignity!

This was a repayment for Yun Qi's grace of guiding her, and also her insistence on the path that she had chosen!

Qi Xia, Tang Nazhi, Yan Yu, and Yang Xi felt the numerous pairs of scornful eyes directed at Shen Yanxiao, they straightened up and stood at Shen Yanxiao's side.

Four warm palms, without any hesitation, patted her shoulder.

"If you were a second later, I will really think you will not come." Qi Xia gently laughed.

"You're finally here, I'm really worried." Tang Nazhi was finally relieved.

"It's good you're here now." Yan Yu said and naughtily smiled.

"So you can drag a longer time than Nazhi." Yang Xi revealed a rare smile of teasing.

The four handsome young men, under the numerous eyes of the public, displayed their support for Shen Yanxiao in their own ways.

At this very moment, the five great clans of Long Xuan Empire were united, such a huge force enough to shake the whole country!

All the doubtful eyes, every mocking glance, all the disgust and contempt, had quietly been hidden away at that moment.
