Chapter 691 - Ouyang Huanyu (3)
Words of concern were spoken by Ouyang Huanyu.
Shen Yanxiao slightly raised her eyebrows. Ouyang Huanyu is speaking with such a caring tone, yet why do I feel something is wrong when I listen to it?
“In fact, when you were still at Holy Roland School, I was eager to meet you. I wanted to see what kind of person in this world would dare to risk being shunned and embark the Warlock path.” Ouyang Huanyu looked at Shen Yanxiao with emotions and his eyes were filled with relief.
"The people of the Radiance Continent, having gone through previous catastrophes, have a great prejudice against the Warlocks, and you should also see that in the entire Long Xuan Empire, only the Holy Roland School has a Warlock Branch; yet, even so, the Warlock Branch has not ushered in students for many years. Did you know how excited I was when I learned that there was a student who decided to be a Warlock? On this continent, I thought, there are still people who are unaffected by the secular world.”
"Good or bad has nothing to do with the profession, it's just the individual. The nightmares that those Warlocks brought to people were not related to the profession of the Warlock itself." Shen Yanxiao didn't know why Ouyang Huanyu mentioned this matter so suddenly.
"Good and bad are just the result of people's actions and nothing else. But I believe that after entering the Barren Land, you should be able to perceive the impact of your Warlock profession on you?" Ouyang Huanyu looked at Shen Yanxiao, then slowly continued, "The winners of the school tournament will all be able to obtain a city in the Barren Land, and when rebuilding the city, they will receive strong support from the Long Xuan Empire. But the Emperor seems to have given nothing to you when you arrived. You should know exactly what this means."
Shen Yanxiao frowned slightly. The Emperor's harsh treatment had long been very clear to her. However, she did not care. The city she had created by herself was truly hers alone. She did not need to owe anyone a favor.
"The Emperor had his own reasons for his actions. How can we talk about this matter?" Shen Yanxiao was feeling impatient. Ouyang Huanyu's confusing speech was really making her very puzzled.
"Yeah, the supremacy of the throne." Ouyang Huanyu chuckled loudly. It seemed that he had felt the impatience of Shen Yanxiao. So he stopped his own narration and said, "You know these things well, I don't have to say more about it. In fact, I came to the Barren Land because of the invitation of the Emperor."
"Invitation of the Emperor?" Shen Yanxiao actually froze for a bit. The Emperor actually invited Ouyang Huanyu to go to the Barren Land?
"I have heard that the Emperor sent a special envoy to the Barren Land before and they are now in The Rising Sun City. The envoy's team has Prince Long Yue and State Preceptor Pei Yuan, and a few months ago, the Emperor received a handwritten letter that said that the State Preceptor and the Prince wanted to live here for a period of time. The Emperor seemed to feel uncomfortable. And for this reason, he made me pay you a visit. After all, he thought that between you, as a student of Holy Roland School and me, as the dean, there should be some kind of friendship.” Ouyang Huanyu said the reason why he had come to the Barren Land without any concealment. However, his words were hinting about the Emperor’s concerns.
It had been more than two months since the team of the Special Envoy entered the Barren Land. Pei Yuan and Long Yue had been at The Rising Sun City for months already. Even if there were an earnest letter, the Emperor in the Imperial Capital was probably already somewhat skeptical.
