The Good-for-Nothing Seventh Miss

Chapter 924: Strange Illness (3)

“Why do I feel that City Lord Long doesn’t look sick, but rather... cursed?” Shen Yanxiao asked.

“Cursed?” As soon as Shen Yanxiao said this, the four people in the room were stunned.

“Shen Jue... what do you mean by cursed?” Long Xueyao was so surprised that she stuttered.

Curses were scary to many people, because only the Second-Class Experts among Warlocks, the so-called Summoners, could use curses.

Shen Yanxiao nodded her head. From the reaction of the crowd, she knew that Warlocks were indeed not well-liked around here.

Fortunately, when she was dealing with the demons on the back to the city, she used the skills of an Archer. Otherwise, she would not dare to mention curses in front of them.

“But... aren’t curses only used by Summoners? In the Brilliance Continent, Warlocks have gone extinct. Who could use curses nowadays?” Wu Run had a puzzled look on his face.

“I heard that the person sent to the Forsaken Land by the Longxuan Empire is a Warlock. That person seems to be from Saint Laurent Academy. Didn’t Saint Laurent Academy always keep their Warlock Branch? Since that person came from Saint Laurent Academy, it is very likely that there is a powerful Warlock in Saint Laurent Academy.” Qin Qiong seemed to have thought of something.

Shen Yanxiao was speechless.

She never thought that Qin Qiong’s thoughts would be so jumpy. He actually thought of her and Yun Qi.

She had really shot herself in the foot!

Just as Shen Yanxiao was considering whether she should redeem her reputation for herself and Yun Qi, Long Xueyao opened her mouth and said, “It can’t be her. I heard that the current City Lord of Sun Never Sets is only fourteen years old. When my father was injured, she was only one year old at most. Even if there is a hidden Warlock in Saint Laurent Academy, that person has always kept a low profile for many years. He should not be the one who injured my father.”

Long Xueyao directly denied Qin Qiong’s guess.

Qin Qiong thought about it and felt that he was being irrational.

“However, the existence of the City Lord of Sun Never Sets proves one thing: Warlocks have not disappeared from the Brilliance Continent. Since there are Warlocks hiding in Saint Laurent Academy, there must be some fishes that have escaped the net and are lurking all over the Brilliance Continent. Perhaps... the City Lord was injured by those fishes?” Wu Run said.

“That’s not impossible.” Qin Qiong nodded.

Long Xueyao was more rational. She looked at Shen Yanxiao seriously and asked, “Shen Jue, you said that my father might have been cursed. Can you tell me how you determine it?”

Shen Yanxiao pursed her lips. She really wasn’t a meddlesome person. However, Long Fei and his daughter looked quite pleasing to the eye, and they had also treated her quite well. Thinking that she would soon steal the blueprint of their Thunder Artillery, Shen Yanxiao tried to explain as well as she could as repayment.

“It’s very simple. When I touched City Lord Long just now, I didn’t feel the emergence of battle aura in his body. Instead, I felt a corrosive magical aura attached to his body. City Lord Long is a Swordmaster so he cultivates battle aura. This magical aura, if he didn’t cultivate it himself, must have been imposed on him by someone. I once heard that when a person is cursed, the magical aura lurking in their meridians will fill every part of their body. That’s why I have this suspicion.”

Not for anything else, but for the sake of Long Xueyao’s filial piety, she would give her a little help.
