3194: What Could He Do?

What Could He Do?

My daughter is so adorable! Northern Feng General's heart suddenly softened.1

"Father, you've been talking a lot. Have some tea. It's good for your throat," Feng Wu said gently with a sincere smile.

Northern Feng General wanted to rub her head, but on second thought, he realized it would look like he was taking her side.

Hence, he cleared his throat and straightened his face. "You're a big girl now and should be able to tell right from wrong."

He then turned to Mr. Xu. "Mr. Xu, she's just a kid. I know she's offended you, but please forgive her childish behavior. Xiao Wu, apologize to Mr. Xu."

"Of course," Feng Wu replied without hesitation. She ran to Mr. Xu's side and bowed. "Mr. Xu, you're a generous man. Please forgive an ignorant girl. How about this? When I find something nice next time, I'll give you a little."

Mr. Xu was speechless.

He had never heard such a ridiculous apology!

However, he realized Northern Feng General had taken the girl's side, and there was nothing he could do. He could only cup his hands, give Northern Feng General a bow, and leave the hall.

Northern Feng General glanced at Feng Wu.

Was he asking Feng Wu to make Mr. Xu happier?

Those elders were still waiting outside the front gate.

Because of the barrier, they couldn't hear what was going on inside, which was why they had all gathered here.

Led by Elder Helian, the elders of Imperial College knelt in front of the red stone lions outside the gate.

They sincerely wanted the general to forgive Feng Wu.

However, the elders of the Military Academy were all sitting on the ground with their legs crossed.

They were staring at the tightly shut gate.

After hearing the general's voice earlier, they believed he wouldn't forgive Feng Wu so easily.

But punishing Feng Wu wasn't their goal. They wanted more benefits.

The general had a lot of resources, and if he could favor the Military Academy over Imperial College…

The elders of Imperial College had become more capable now and were even stronger than those of the Military Academy. The latter couldn't live with that.

Although they were all sitting on the ground, they kept exchanging looks. When the general asked them to enter, they would all make their requests.

Just then, the gate opened, and three people came out.

Mr. Xu walked in the front, followed by Feng Wu. Mr. Lu was still in the rear.

Seeing Feng Wu come out without a scratch on her, the elders were all perplexed.

After what Feng Wu had done, how could she return in one piece?

Elder Helian immediately went up to her. "Xiao Wu, are you alright?"

Elder Dongfang also approached them. "Mr. Xu, how did it go?"

Meanwhile…

Feng Wu smiled at Mr. Xu and said, "Old Xu, you're out of my league."

Mr. Xu was furious.

What could he do?

He couldn't physically attack her, and she was much better at quarreling than he was. If he reprimanded her, what if she cried? Her godfather would definitely come after him.

Mr. Xu glared at Feng Wu, snorted, and started walking in another direction.

Old Xu?

Elder Dongfang realized something was off.

When she finally caught up with Mr. Xu, he didn't even look at her. With his hands behind his back, he walked as fast as he could.

It was as if he didn't want to face her questions.

What was going on?
