Feng Wu gave her a wry smile. “I’ve been keeping it from everyone on purpose.”

“But why?” Chaoge was confused.

Feng Wu said grumpily, “The people who did those things to me are still lurking in the dark. Revealing myself prematurely is as good as sending them an invitation to kill me, don’t you think?”

Chaoge nodded repeatedly. “That’s right — although, I bet they’ll be so shocked if they knew how wonderful you are already.”

“I’ll gladly shock them out of their minds.” Feng Wu was in a great mood.

Chaoge then glanced at Feng Wu in grievance. “You said you were going to eat me… I was so scared.”

“Hahaha —” Feng Wu talked as she walked and she said grumpily, “If I didn’t say that, your family would think that you were with me and you’d be in a lot of trouble.”

Chaoge found that explanation reasonable.

Feng Wu went on, “Now that I’ve made it look like you were taken away, your family won’t blame you. Moreover, it doesn’t seem like they’ll bother to search for you. After you go back with your achievements, you can tell them outright and honestly that they never tried to save you in the first place.”

Chaoge was thrilled to hear that and her eyes lit up!

With a single sentence, Feng Wu was making all these future plans for her!

“Xiao Wu, you’re so smart! How did you come up with those things given the circumstances?” Chaoge scratched her own head. Why was she so dumb herself?

Feng Wu patted her head. “Enough of that. We have less than seven days left and we’ll have to prepare for both the written exam and the physical tryout. There’s no time to lose.”

When they got back, they didn’t even walk into the Feng clan manor, but went straight to Grand Secretary Fang’s house next door.

Grand Secretary Fang was composing a memorial to the throne.

Xiao Wu was so talented, but she couldn’t get into Imperial College because of His Royal Highness’s intervention. It was such a loss to the school!

The more Grand Secretary Fang thought about it, the more sorry he felt. In the end, he decided to write it down in a memorial to the throne.

Other people might not dare to confront Jun Linyuan, but surely His Majesty would…

Grand Secretary Fang was only halfway through the memorial to the throne when Feng Wu and Chaoge arrived.

The old steward was waiting on Grand Secretary Fang inside, and Steward Fang stood outside the room.

After what happened last time, when Steward Fang had failed to recognize Feng Wu’s talent, the man greeted Feng Wu warmly. “Miss Feng, it’s wonderful to see you. Please come in.”

“Is your old master in?” Feng Wu asked as she walked in.

“Yes. Yes, of course.” The last thing Steward Fang would do now was stop her. His old master thought very highly of this young lady.

Steward Fang showed Feng Wu to an inner living room.

The old steward opened the door and let Feng Wu and Chaoge in after recognizing them.

Grand Secretary Fang still had half of the memorial to the throne to write when Feng Wu entered. He grunted. “You came soon enough. How did it go? Did His Royal Highness give you a hard time?”

Feng Wu said innocently, “No, he didn’t.”

“You don’t have to pretend with me,” Grand Secretary Fang said grumpily. “Don’t worry. My words still mean something and I’m writing a memorial to the throne to His Majesty. I don’t know about other people, but His Majesty should be able to talk to him.”

Feng Wu was very touched.

The old man was so nice to her that she almost felt bad about buying his house.

Feng Wu opened her palm, revealing a little red booklet.

“What —”

The old man rose to his feet so abruptly that he stumbled.

Feng Wu reached out in a hurry and steadied him. “Watch out!”

The old man snatched the red booklet from Feng Wu and opened it!

Feng Wu’s personal information was indeed recorded in it!

“I have one, too —”

Chaoge presented her own as well.

Only after Grand Secretary Fang examined both booklets was he convinced that Feng Wu had really received her exam permit.

The old man hadn’t thought much of the exam permit at first, but then Jun Linyuan got involved, and all of a sudden, it was hell mode for them all.

“You really have it…” The old man was amazed. “Didn’t His Royal Highness try to intervene?”

Feng Wu had charged out, looking as if she was going to punch someone in the face. Grand Secretary Fang had thought that Feng Wu would be thrown out of the crown prince’s residence for sure. However, not only hadn’t she been thrown out, she had somehow secured the exam permits?

Grand Secretary Fang found it hard to believe.

Feng Wu nodded. “I was lucky. Jun Linyuan had a breakthrough and he was in a good mood. So, he made it easy for me.”

Grand Secretary Fang cried out, “His Royal Highness made a breakthrough again?”

“Exactly what level is he now?” Feng Wu couldn’t help but ask.

It seemed that Jun Linyuan’s cultivation level was a secret.

The old man patted Feng Wu’s head grumpily. “That’s a top secret of the empire! You shouldn’t even ask! Now that you have the exam permit, your most important task now is to pass the exam.”

“Yes —” Feng Wu and Chaoge stood at attention and nodded solemnly.

“As for the physical tryout —” Grand Secretary Fang sighed in resignation. “Chaoge can probably make do with a crash course, but what about Xiao Wu? You’re —”

She had no cultivation ability whatsoever and the old man didn’t know what to do.

Chaoge’s eyes lit up.

Xiao Wu wasn’t a cripple! She was amazing!

Right now, the only people in the room were Feng Wu, Chaoge, and Grand Secretary Fang.

Feng Wu smiled, then put the Concealing Jade back into her ring.

If she hadn’t seen the old man writing that memorial to the throne to Emperor Wu, she would never have realized how kind he was to her, which was why she decided to let him in on her secret.

Grand Secretary Fang was deep in thought, trying to come up with some ideas to help Feng Wu. He turned around and saw Feng Wu beaming at him.

The old man was disgruntled. “Kiddo, get serious. We’re running out of time. The exam is in seven days and you can’t even —

“Wait a minute!”

Grand Secretary Fang looked shaken all of a sudden. He rushed to Feng Wu’s side and his voice trembled with excitement. “Kiddo, you —”

Staring at Feng Wu, the old man said in a shaky voice, “No, that can’t be. That’s impossible…”

However, Feng Wu only stood there as steady as anything, with perfect composure.

“Show me your hand!” Grand Secretary Fang stared at Feng Wu.

Feng Wu gave him her right hand, then activated her spiritual essence.

“A Level 4 Spiritual Grandmaster!” Grand Secretary Fang figured it out right away.

“You have very sharp eyes.” Feng Wu grinned.

“You naughty kid…” Grand Secretary Fang smiled wryly. “You’re already very capable. Why did you go to all that trouble to hide it? Do you like to be called a cripple?”

However, given how experienced Grand Secretary Fang was, he immediately realized why Feng Wu had done so.
