Feng Xiaoqi asked curiously.
To celebrate her obtaining the juice of the Immortal Spiritual Fruit and the fact that she was going to resume her cultivation soon, of course. However, Feng Wu kept all that to herself, for her little brother here was simply too gullible.
While Feng Wu busied herself in the kitchen —
Jun Linyuan and the others left the Feng family manor.
Although Feng Yiran kept apologizing to them on their way out, Jun Linyuan remained silent, the look on his face indecipherable.
On the other hand, everything was written on Feng Xun's face.
Scratching his head, he kept mumbling to himself, "I don't get it. How can Feng Wu turn into this girl? How can she be so… so boring?"
Fairy Muyao darted a look at him. "What's so strange about that?"
"What?"
Fairy Muyao smirked. "Young Lord, do you realize what kind of life Feng Wu is living now? She's crippled and has been banished to this border town like a useless chess piece. Cultivation is not an option for her anymore, so her best way out is —"
All eyes were on Fairy Muyao and everyone frowned a little.
Fairy Muyao said in satisfaction, "Her best way out now is to become a virtuous, elegant young lady, marry into a good family, and live out the rest of her not-very-long life like that. So, it's only natural that she's lost all her vitality and become this dull, pedantic girl."
Feng Xun wanted to retort, but all words failed him. He could only stare at Fairy Muyao in a daze… Was that true?
"She's no longer one of us. She's a commoner, but we —" Fairy Muyao gloated. "We're cultivators. There's so much ahead of us and we'll have brilliant futures which Feng Wu can't even imagine! So, forget about Feng Wu. She's past history already."
Fairy Muyao had removed Feng Wu from her list of rivals, deeming the latter unworthy.
Feng Xun rubbed his head. Somehow, he felt something was off.
They were standing in the middle of a street.
A pair of teenage girls walked past them.
They were talking as they walked.
"Sister Lin Ling, did you really give the wontons to Miss Wu. Did she accept them? That's great!"
Lin Ling arched an eyebrow and grinned. "Of course. Miss Wu is so sincere, kind, lively, passionate… all the good words in this world together won't be enough to describe how great she is."
"Your family received the secret wonton recipe from Miss Wu, didn't you?"
Lin Ling was very candid and replied happily, "That's right. Miss Wu took pity on our poverty back then, so she taught us how to make wontons so that we could make a living. She practically gave us a new leash on life. For that, I'll do anything for her."
"Miss Wu is so wonderful. But I heard that someone's arrived from the imperial capital — the eldest son and the sixth daughter of the Feng clan. Both are very hostile toward Miss Wu and they just look so evil!"
Lin Ling and her friend chatted on.
Feng Xun and the others were shocked!
Miss Wu? Guests from the imperial capital? The eldest son and the sixth daughter… Wait!
Feng Wu stopped Lin Ling, who was still talking to her friend. "By Miss Wu, you don't mean Feng Wu, do you?"
Feng Xun's eyes widened and he took Lin Ling by the arm!
Startled, Lin Ling stared at Feng Xun. "And you are…"
This was such a nice-looking teenager. His lips were pink, his teeth were so shiny, and he looked so refreshing. Lin Ling had never met such a handsome young man before and she was a little dazed.
As smart as Feng Xun was, he realized that he wouldn't get his answer in the normal way, so he smirked and asked, "You didn't mean Feng Wu, right? That useless fifth daughter of the Feng family?"
Lin Ling's face darkened at those words.
Enraged, she threw off Feng Xun's hand and glared at him. "What was that supposed to mean? Who did you call useless? Miss Wu is awesome! She's everything but useless!"
Lin Ling's friend was called Song Yuxin, who was also a fan of Feng Wu. Right now, the gentle girl was also glowering at Feng Xun.
Feng Xun was at a loss.
He was the young lord of Northern Feng Mansion and someone sought after by so many young women in the imperial capital. Why was he getting attacked all of a sudden?
Feng Xun snapped, "What? Did I say something wrong? Feng Wu is wasted, isn't she? Plus, she's so dull and lifeless and boring…"
"Hey!" Lin Ling was genuinely pissed. Resting her hands on her waist, she scowled at Feng Xun. "What's wrong with you?! You look all decent and fancy, but you're so rude! What did Miss Wu ever do to you to deserve such awful words?!"
Feng Xun gestured at himself. "I – I said awful words about her?"
"Yes, you! What did you say just then? Miss Wu is dull? Lifeless? Boring? That's just a load of bullshit! Miss Wu is lively and cheerful and passionate! She's nothing like what you say!" Lin Ling was never shy with her words and she retorted angrily!
To Lin Ling, Feng Wu was not only her family's savior, but also her most sacred and admired idol as well. She couldn't stand any comments against Feng Wu, even the slightest one!
"That's right!" Song Yuxin, who was a little younger than Lin Ling, rested her hands on her waist as well and chimed in.
Like any other normal teenage boy, Feng Xun couldn't stand Lin Ling's sharp criticism.
He smirked. "Feng Wu isn't dull? Heh, I've seen it myself. There's firsthand information!"
The girl barely left her bedchamber now and obeyed every single rule written in the book of discipline. She might as well be living in a wooden box…
Lin Ling smirked back at him. "Sister Feng Wu is bright, warm, and ready to help anyone! That's firsthand information, too!"
"That's right!" Song Yuxin confirmed loudly.
Feng Xun snickered. "Common girls like you can see her with your own eyes? You've got to be kidding me."
It wasn't that Feng Xun looked down on them, but to him, Feng Wu was living such a confined life that he couldn't imagine her walking around on the streets.
"Teehee —" Lin Ling chuckled, then threw a contemptuous look at Feng Xun. "What a waste of that pretty face of yours. I never thought you could be so condescending! I know, I know, we commoners are too unworthy of young masters like you, but Sister Feng Wu isn't like you!"
