Chapter Eleven: Out of the School, Into the Library

The class was very quiet because of the twins' declarations: if they disappeared or were injured, the Sacred Family would be held responsible. The eloquence of the twins surprised and invigorated Xiao Ning'er, who was ecstatic that they had verbally attacked the Sacred Family's weakness without remorse. She couldn't help chuckling under her breath. Those two truly subdued the Sacred Family members present through their pitiful acting and harsh language. On the other hand, how did the twins know this? Xiao Ning'er, a young girl in Glory City, could never begin to guess the origin of the twins knowledge: ancient books, otherworldly places, unimaginable encounters. The girl could only say that the twins read without pause while everyone else wasted their time.

Lu Ye, who had been sent by the elder to retrieve the Book of Divine Lightning-Fire, handed said book to the elder who was still observing the class closely, especially the twins. Ye Sheng and Lu Ye watched closely with bated breath as the elder quickly opened to the sixth diagram on page thirty. When comparing the Lightning-Fire Inscription Pattern and the Scarlet Sunburst Inscription Pattern, his expression took a serious turn. Ye Sheng remained silent, he did not have the position or power to offer the lightest of opinions; this matter will be left to the high-ranking members of Glory City.

"These two," said the elder softly when glancing at the twins, "What are their innate talents?"

When asked this, Ye Sheng gestured to Lu Ye. Ye Sheng, the vice-principal, did not deal directly with students as much as Lu Ye.

Seeing this, Lu Ye quickly said, "They both have a red-soul realm."

The elder sighed slightly saying, "Hmm. What a pity. These two are so intelligent, so it's a pity that their talent are so low. Ye Sheng, arrange for them to be library clerks."

Hearing the order of the elder, Ye Sheng immediately agreed. While he was aware of the elder's love for the gifted, he couldn't help but wonder if the elder wanted to help the twins: the library would provide a suitable learning environment, it would provide many ancient books full of knowledge waiting to be imparted, and would protect the twins from the Sacred Family's influence.

Speaking of the influence of the Sacred Family, Nie Tai had no fear. If this were in her previous life, she would have no choice but to bow her head and swallow her dignity, but now? She only feared that the Sacred Family would be far too weak to be a suitable target for her revenge.

Shen Xiu glared at the twins with immense hatred burning in her eyes. This was quite literal because her indignation was riling up the power of the Scarlet Flaming Fox within. Her vindictive tone sent shivers down the spines of the weak-willed inside the classroom, "Your actions this day... Hmph! They will be remembered!"

Nie Tai merely smiled politely at the blatant threat of the 'teacher.' Her thoughts said what she currently could not, "You actually dare to threaten a student? How shameless! Even if I had no beef previously, I will not take this lying down. I too, Shen Xiu, will remember this!"

After speaking this, Shen Xiu did not have the patience or the will to continue teaching, so she ending the class early and left in a huff. As soon as she was out of the classroom, conversations sprung up. The topics were focused on the Sacred Family and the twins' actions today. If the twins were so much as bruised, the Sacred Family would be blamed!

Nie Li was happy with himself and was content with pondering on how to get closer with Ye Ziyun. Nie Tai, who was speaking with Du Ze, was ecstatic that he took the initiative and walked over to her!

"That was very impressive, how did you know all of that?" asked a curious Du Ze.

"Ah, it's not that much. I mostly read in my free time." answered Nie Tai. She couldn't say that she was reincarnated after climbing to the pinnacle of power now could she?
