Feng Wu nodded. “He should have, if everything went as planned. But judging by Steward Fang’s attitude… I don’t think he’s shown it to his master yet.”

“He said he was going to do it! How could he?!” Chaoge abhorred injustice like a deadly foe, and she bolted to her feet right away. “I won’t have it! I need to give him a reminder!”

Chaoge rushed to the guest hall to see Steward Fang standing in the shade with his head lowered and his hands at his sides.

And that piece of paper had been crumpled into a ball and tossed on the ground.

Chaoge was furious!

“Steward Fang! How could you?!” Chaoge cried out!

She shouted at the top of her lungs and her voice resounded in the yard!

Steward Fang had been dozing and he almost jumped at that voice!

He blanched right away.

Oh god, why was this girl still here? She would definitely disturb the respected guest inside! Steward Fang was so angry that he almost slapped Chaoge!

“You want to hit me? How dare you?!”

Chaoge flared up and she pointed at Steward Fang. “You vile man! Didn’t you say you were going to hand the answer to your master?! And what did you do? You tossed it on the ground! You threw Xiao Wu’s effort away like a piece of garbage! Why did you do that?”

Chaoge went scarlet with rage!

Steward Fang rushed to her side and covered her mouth. “My dear young lady, I’m sorry, okay? It’s all my fault! Please be quiet! My master is right there in the room —”

Those words set Chaoge off completely!

The dauntless girl pushed Steward Fang away, put her hands on either side of her mouth like a loudspeaker, and yelled, “Grand Secretary Fang! Grand Secretary Fang! Grand Secretary Fang! Help! The house is on fire!”

Feng Wu, who had just arrived, was rendered speechless.

Steward Fang was so exasperated that he almost broke into tears.

They were right outside the drawing room and a wall away from Grand Secretary Fang. The wall wasn’t exactly soundproof.

Grand Secretary Fang heard everything Chaoge said.

He frowned.

As an elderly official of the empire, the old man preferred gentle and quiet personalities. The noisy ones were his least favorite.

Grand Secretary Fang darted a look at Xuan Yi and the latter took the hint right away.

“Grandpa, I’ll get rid of them.”

“Alright.” Grand Secretary Fang nodded, still frowning.

Xuan Yi rose to his feet and quickly went outside.

Chaoge was still yelling at the drawing room. “Grand Secretary Fang! Grand Secretary Fang! Xiao Wu is an awesome girl! Please see her answer to the question —”

He pushed the door open when Chaoge was still yelling and he almost bumped into the girl.

“Wow —” Chaoge stumbled back and stared at Xuan Yi.

This guy looked so familiar. Where had she seen him before…

Before Chaoge could say another word, Xuan Yi frowned and glanced at Steward Fang.

That look sent chills down Steward Fang’s spine.

“See them out.” Seeing that Chaoge wasn’t anyone he knew, Xuan Yi gave Steward Fang the order.

That was the nature of Jun Linyuan and his friends. They were relentless toward those they deemed outsiders.

They had no patience for those they found uninteresting and would get rid of those people immediately.

However —

Chaoge cried out in surprise. “Hey, I know you. What’s your name again… Xuan Yi, isn’t it?”

Xuan Yi darted a look at Chaoge.

Because of his connection to Jun Linyuan, Xuan Yi was a well-known figure in the imperial capital as well. Many knew him and he found it natural that this girl would know who he was, so Xuan Yi didn’t think much of it.

However, Chaoge turned around and beckoned at Feng Wu. “Xiao Wu! Come over here! Isn’t he Xuan the Second? The boy that you used to beat up? He cried a lot. Isn’t this him?”

Xiao Wu? Xuan Yi’s stomach lurched!

Xuan Yi? Feng Wu walked into the yard at that moment.

Their eyes met.

“You?”

“Why are you here?”

Xuan Yi and Feng Wu exchanged looks and both saw surprise on each other’s faces.

Chaoge grinned. “Xiao Wu, that’s him, right? That crybaby that you used to beat up? The one that would wait for you outside your house every day after that?”

Feng Wu chuckled.

Xuan Yi blushed suspiciously.

He coughed into his fist.

Just then, Master Bian couldn’t take Priest Wu’s blows anymore and rushed out, burying his head in his hands and crying for his master’s mercy.

He missed the threshold and tripped. Hence —

Thump —

Master Bian fell down on his face.

Why were there so many people?

He looked up —

And he saw a face that would give him nightmares!

As a matter of face, it was a face of stunning beauty!

“You — You —”

Master Bian acted as if he had seen a ghost. His eyes opened so wide it was as if his eyeballs would fall out at any moment.

However, he reacted quickly and rushed toward Feng Wu the next second. “It’s you!!! It’s you!!!”

Both Feng Wu and Chaoge jumped at his reaction and stumbled back involuntarily.

Chaoge shielded Feng Wu with her own body.

What the hell?

“Don’t go!”

Seeing them back off, especially Feng Wu, Master Bian ran after them in exasperation. “You can’t leave now! I won’t let you! Stop right there!”

Chaoge flared up!

How dare a middle-aged loser try to lay his hands on Xiao Wu? He had to be delusional!

Hence, Chaoge grabbed the nearest flowerpot.

It was filled with soil and very solid.

“Bang!”

Chaoge swung the pot and smashed it onto Master Bian’s head!

Crack!

The pot shattered to pieces and the soil scattered all over the ground.

“Arghh —”

Master Bian cried out and blood gushed from his forehead.

Chaoge didn’t see that coming. She said hesitantly, “You were imprudent first! I did the right thing! You can’t blame me!”

Master Bian: !!!

Imprudent? He wasn’t trying to take advantage of Miss Feng!

Everything happened so fast and everyone was taken by surprise.

Seeing Master Bian’s bloody forehead and Chaoge’s unforgiving attitude, Steward Fang was furious. “Young lady! Who do you think you are? Do you know who this is? Master Bian is a respected guest here!”

“Take her —” Fearing that he would be blamed for this, Steward Fang summoned some guards and was going to grab Chaoge. His master would deal with her later.

But —

“Wait —” Xuan Yi frowned.

Priest Wu was infuriated!

Although he had been hitting Master Bian for the past few minutes, he only did it because the latter was his pupil. He could do whatever he wanted with his own pupil.

But it was a different story when other people hurt his pupil!

Hence, Priest Wu glared at Chaoge and Feng Wu with a livid face!

“Which one of you did this?!” Priest Wu bellowed. “Confess now!”
