Chapter 430: Farewell (2)

“Luo Fan is an Advanced Herbalist, and if you were to compete against the both of them, you could ignore Shangguan Xiao for now. However, you must be on your guard against Luo Fan. An Advanced Herbalist’s potion is never simple. Furthermore, the Luo family had many secret formulae and I have yet to investigate all of them. You would be at a disadvantage if you were to compete with them with detrimental potions.” Qi Xia furrowed his eyebrows, and that was something that he rarely did. Even though he was not an herbalist, as the next Qilin family’s head, he was expected to have some knowledge about the profession.

Potions were indispensable items in the Brilliance Continent, and potions with beneficial effects were high in demand. As for potions with detrimental effects, it would also intimidate many.

However, no matter the production process or understanding of medicinal ingredients, it was still several times harder than usual. That was why Qi Xi was not very confident about it.

Shen Yanxiao leaned against the chair as a sneer curled on her lips.

“Disadvantage? I’d like to see exactly who’s the one at a disadvantage tomorrow. Rest a.s.sured that I know my limits. I will make them suffer tomorrow.” She would resort to strategies like killing a thousand enemies at the expense of her troops. All she wanted from that match was a total annihilation without any blood on her hands.

The other four students remained silent when they saw Shen Yanxiao’s confident expression. They trusted that she would know what to do in the compet.i.tion.

After they discussed the upcoming match, everyone then s.h.i.+fted their attention to the fact that Tang Nazhi would be leaving the next day.

They did not want him to go, but the head of the Black Tortoise family had demanded that he returned to the family. Tang Nazhi had no choice but to leave.

The five friends remained at the casino for the rest of the night. They wanted to spend those precious moments together while they still could.

The lights in their lounge area remained aflame in the night, as Yan Yu prepared a sumptuous meal for their midnight party.

Tang Nazhi had complex emotions about his departure, but he was comforted by his comrades’ offer of friends.h.i.+p. However, he also felt lonely as he was about to leave them.

Regardless of anything, he would always remember that he had a group of friends who would share meals and miseries with him at the Saint Laurent Academy.

Suddenly, Tang Nazhi stood up and raised his cup as he looked at the four people around the table. His eyes were red, and he was a little drunk when he declared, “People said that I’m a miserable person with no accomplishment of any kind. As a member of the Black Tortoise family, I had even abandoned the road of magic and battle aura for herbalism. With my limited talents, I have stumbled along the way without any success at all. For those who waited for me to become a joke, let them laugh all they want tomorrow. From today onward, I won’t have anything to do with herbalism anymore! After several years of studies, it is unfortunate that I have to return empty-handed. However, even these are not relevant. More importantly, I have all of you by my side. So what if the ma.s.ses humiliate, despise, laugh, or scold me? I have all of you by my side, and that is enough! I shall take my leave tomorrow, and I’d like to offer all of you a toast to show my thanks for your help these past few months!”

Tang Nazhi gulped his drink in one shot, and his eyes continued to redden as the sadness in him welled.

Ever since he decided to become an herbalist two years ago, everyone had waited for him to screw up.

Well, let them laugh. Let them laugh all they wanted.

Even though he could not become an herbalist, his life was fulfilled by the sincerity that his friends had offered him!

The four of them raised their gla.s.ses before they downed theirs as well.

Shen Yanxiao’s eyes narrowed as the heat of the wine swirled down her throat.
