787: Exposed?

Exposed?

Old Man Xuanyuan might try to sound modest, but he failed to hide the satisfaction in his voice.0

Grand Secretary Fang darted a look at the guy. No one there was nearly as talented as Feng Wu. The girl could activate a second attribute at her current age.

And Feng Wu was unmatched in her performance in the written exam — she was the first candidate in history to achieve full marks.

Grand Secretary Fang casually darted another look at Xuanyuan Kun. Buddy, you'll see.

"Oh, by the way —"

Xuanyuan Kun feigned an indifferent tone. "How about we take a look at that Yu Mingye? What's he up to at the moment?"

The old man was really here to sound them out.

Grand Secretary Fang knew that the top candidate each year would be rewarded with special cultivation resources.

The fact that even someone as experienced as Xuanyuan Kun was interested in the reward was proof enough of how valuable it was.

Grand Secretary Fang darted a glance at Xuanyuan Kun. "The sacred son made an agreement with the college before he went in. All visual surveillance of him is off-limits."

Xuanyuan Kun rubbed his chin. He had heard rumors of it, but it still displeased him to be rejected outright.

"What about Feng Wu? Let's have a look at her." Xuanyuan Kun changed his target.

Priest Wu and Grand Secretary Fang exchanged looks.

He wanted to see Xiao Wu? No way.

The girl was taking her reward from that Ice Fire Beast even as they were speaking. If Xuanyuan Kun saw it, he would be alarmed and would probably keep an eye on Feng Wu from now on.

The Xuanyuan family was well-acquainted with the Zuo family, and Xuanyuan Kun was also a close friend of Zuo He.

Xiao Wu was the reason Zuo He was dead. Therefore, the girl couldn't be exposed no matter what.

At that thought, Grand Secretary Fang turned him down. "That girl has long lost her cultivation ability and she's not even in the first 200. Why do you want to look at what she's doing?"

Priest Wu chimed in, "And she's a girl, and could be swimming or taking a bath as we speak. That's highly inappropriate for us old men to watch. You old bat —"

Embarrassed, Xuanyuan Kun tried to make an excuse. "I'm curious, that's all."

"No, you're not. You're worried that Feng Wu will threaten Xuanyuan Yi's ranking. Are you serious? The girl isn't even in the first 200. Forget it. According to the most updated information —"

Only the names of the first 200 candidates were on the screen, but Grand Secretary Fang had the clearance level to see the full list.

And he scrolled down the list.

All 900 candidates were ranked according to their scores.

Of the original 1000 candidates, 100 had withdrawn because of the dangers they had run into. Of the remaining 900 candidates, Feng Wu was ranked last.

"Pfft —"

Even someone as composed as Xuanyuan Kun couldn't suppress his laughter when he saw the rankings.

Grand Secretary Fang and Priest Wu both frowned.

Xiao Wu had absorbed the spiritual essence of both the Ice Fire Beast and the Qilin Beast, but because she had removed her headband, the stars weren't lit. Otherwise, she would be at the top of the list!

Xuanyuan Kun had no idea what the other two old men were thinking. Stroking his beard, he smiled wryly. "The first in the written exam is last in the physical tryout. That's a first —"

Xuanyuan Kun left the room, still chuckling.

Feng Wu had no idea what was going on outside, nor was she aware of the harsh comments about her. Right now, she was focused on absorbing every last bit of the spiritual essence coming out of the Ice Fire Beast.
