Shen Yanxiao sighed. She did not expect Taotie to be as smart as Vermilion Bird. If it were Vermilion Bird, he would probably go up and fight Luoqiu and the rest to the death without her.

Not to mention her protective nature, even the arrogant Vermilion Bird was rather protective.

Even though he disliked Taotie and liked to abuse him, this was limited to himself. If anyone else wanted to abuse Taotie, Vermilion Bird would burn them to ashes.

Vermilion Bird would certainly protect Shen Yanxiao’s students.

However, Taotie, this little guy who surrounded himself with food all day long, was obviously not as active as before.

Looking at Nock who was glaring at her like a tiger watching its prey, Shen Yanxiao knew that if she did not find a way to smooth things over, this matter would not end so simply.

Even though Shen Yanxiao wanted to beat up these idiots who dared to touch her naughty brats with Taotie, looking at Luoqiu’s respectful attitude towards that old man, she knew that the other party’s background must not be small. She could pat her buttocks and leave after beating them up, but the members of the Flaming Red Squad were not so unrestrained.

For the sake of the overall situation, Shen Yanxiao could only use her brain.

At this moment, the members of the Flaming Red Squad focused their eyes on Shen Yanxiao. For them, at this time, Shen Yanxiao could decide the life and death of the little foodie.

Shen Yanxiao touched her chin and looked at Nock, who looked like he wanted to kill Taotie.

To tell the truth, she really didn’t mind Nock “killing” Taotie. If he had the ability to kill a holy beast… He could give it a try. Maybe if he was lucky, he could slowly melt in Taotie’s stomach.

However…

The brainwashing had yet to succeed, so Taotie’s identity could not be exposed for the time being.

Shen Yanxiao rolled her big eyes and immediately had an idea. She looked at Nock and smilingly said, “Yes, this human being must die.”

As soon as Shen Yanxiao’s words came out, the faces of the members of the Flaming Red Squad immediately turned extremely ugly. All their courage and strength were hollowed out by Shen Yanxiao’s words.

They did not expect that even the mentor they had always respected would want to kill the little foodie.

Compared with the sadness of the members of the Flaming Red Squad, Nock’s face showed a little satisfaction.

“Very well. Give him to me and I will deal with him myself.” Nock appreciated Shen Yanxiao’s adaptability. A young woman who knew how to hide her strength would not be too stupid.

Shen Yanxiao smiled and said, “I’m afraid not.”

Nock’s face immediately darkened.

Seeing that Shen Yanxiao was about to offend Nock, Luoqiu immediately beamed with joy.

“Yan Di! How dare you disobey Master Nock!” The fire of provocation in Luoqiu’s chest burned again!

Shen Yanxiao looked at the excited Luoqiu. She had never heard of Master Nock, but looking at this guy’s complacent appearance, she estimated that his background was not small.

“Of course not. Master Nock only said that he wanted to kill this human being, which I agree with very much. But there is a reason I cannot hand this human to Master Nock. In fact, this human being is not our prey. He was given to us by Mentor Kehr.” Shen Yanxiao’s deceiving skills were fully activated.

“Kehr?” When Nock heard Kehr’s name, there was a trace of surprise in his eyes.

The status of the commander of the undead army in the Howling Abyss could be imagined.

“That’s right.” Shen Yanxiao smiled and continued to persuade him. “I believe Master Nock also knows that there has been no trace of other races in the Howling Abyss for a long time. We are merely a mentor and students of an academy. How can we have the ability to find a human child?”
