1288: She Saw Through Him

She Saw Through Him

Qiao Yi was determined to keep Feng Wu in Year 1 under her watch, so that she could do whatever she wanted to her.1

Seeing the taunting look on Qiao Yi's face, Feng Wu only smiled calmly.

Dong walked up to Chief Qiao and whispered something in his ear.

Instantly, Chief Qiao's face darkened, and he looked more awful than a cloudy sky.

Judging by his reaction, Feng Wu knew that she had guessed right.

She grinned. "I heard that there's an exception in Initial. If I can successfully pass a series of trials, I can join Year 2 even without your permission. Is that true?"

Chief Yu was the one who had mentioned it to Feng Wu beforehand. How wise that woman was.

Chief Qiao glared at Feng Wu with eyes that could freeze water into ice.

Feng Wu only smiled as mildly as ever.

Chief Qiao took a deep breath.

Only now did he realize that this girl wasn't as easy to handle as he had assumed. If he didn't do something now, she might expose one of his biggest secrets.

At that thought, Chief Qiao smirked. "If you're bold enough to take that challenge, be my guest! The trials will be ready for you in seven days. You can leave now!"

Seven days… That was longer than Feng Wu had expected, but she knew that she was pushing Chief Qiao's limits, and if she didn't stop now, she might set him off.

She nodded. "See you in seven days then, Chief Qiao."

Feng Wu turned to leave after saying those words.

As she walked away, she could hear Qiao Yi's angry and unreconciled voice.

"Why did you give her permission to take the challenge?!

"All her fame is fake! She cheated!

"Dad! Why didn't you say no?! Why are you letting her do it?!"

Feng Wu grinned and laughed inwardly at the naive Qiao Yi. That woman knew nothing.

Shu Yunruo walked down the mountain with Feng Wu.

As usual, he was silent.

Feng Wu couldn't help but glance at him.

He had protected her for no reason, and she felt compelled to return that favor.

Feng Wu smiled at Shu Yunruo. "Senior Shu, are you sure you're going to be alright for offending Chief Qiao like that?"

Shu Yunruo only glanced at Feng Wu without saying anything.

Feng Wu bit her lower lip. "Won't he try to get back at you?"

Looking up at the sky, Shu Yunruo said quietly, "I'm from the Gongshu family of Taiyuan."

The Gongshu family of Taiyuan? Feng Wu immediately saw the light.

It was one of the nine major clans that used to rank somewhere in the middle, but which had been rising in status in the last few years.

She was amazed that the first person she found to ask for directions was someone of the Gongshu family.

"So, are you using an alias now?" Feng Wu asked curiously.

"It's my mother's maiden name." Shu Yunruo only realized how much personal information he was telling her after he said those words.

That was so strange, because he had always been a private person. After all these years in Initial, Chief Qiao was the only person who knew his background. He couldn't understand why he was telling the girl so many things.

There was something about this girl that would make one spill their secrets!

At that thought, Shu Yunruo threw a dirty look at Feng Wu.

Baffled, Feng Wu rubbed her nose and wondered what that was about.

Shu Yunruo walked Feng Wu to the main road and told her, "Just follow the road…"

He left after giving Feng Wu the direction.

Rubbing her nose, Feng Wu didn't understand why he was mad. "What a moody teenager!"
