The Exam Starts Now

Someone bumped into Feng Wu and almost pushed her out of the line.

Mr Lu noticed Feng Wu when he turned to look that way.

He heaved a sigh of relief when he recognized her.

And the look he gave her was full of grievance.

Before, he actually had no idea when to start the exam, but as soon as he spotted Feng Wu, Mr Lu knew that he could make the announcement now.

He gave Feng Wu another aggrieved and accusing look, which gave Feng Wu the creeps.

What was that about?

Mr Lu waved his hand. “We can proceed with the exam now. Line up for inspection. The exam starts in an hour.”

He turned to leave after another wave of his hand.

What a day… Now, he had to go to court to explain everything to His Majesty. Delaying the national exam was too big a deal even for the head of Imperial College to do without a good reason.

At that thought, Mr Lu gave Feng Wu an aggrieved look for the third time today.

Feng Wu didn’t say anything.

That felt so weird.

“Duan Chaoge, why are you here?!”

There came a shrill voice.

Feng Wu was looking for Chaoge herself. Hearing that voice, she immediately rushed in that direction.

In the center of the crowd.

Holding two sets of stationery in her hands, Chaoge was glaring at someone opposite her.

And they were people Feng Wu had met recently: Chaoge’s two elder half-sisters Duan Chaoyin and Duan Chaoyue.

Seven days ago, Duan Chaoge was taken and Duan Chaoyin and Duan Chaoyue got beaten up.

That day, the two sisters stopped their father from looking for Chaoge.

That was to say, the Duan family abandoned Duan Chaoge.

The two sisters were certain that Duan Chaoge would die a miserable death after being snatched. Little did they expect her to show up here.

“Wh- Why are you here? Shouldn’t you be dead by now?!” Duan Chaoyin frowned and stared at Chaoge contemptuously.

Chaoge smirked. “You really want me dead, don’t you? Well, you’re not getting what you want! You’ll have to die first!”

“How dare you talk to your big sister like that?!”

“My big sister wants me dead! I’ve got even worst things to say!” Chaoge snorted.

Duan Chaoyin was furious!

What had happened to Chaoge? She used to be such a dumb girl and never talked back. All she did was try to fight back physically, but she wasn’t their match and would always end up miserable. But now —

“Chaoge —”

Just then, Feng Wu arrived at Chaoge’s side.

Hearing that voice, Chaoge turned around and spotted Feng Wu. She was over the moon!

“Xiao Wu! Xiao Wu!!!” Chaoge jumped at Feng Wu and flung her arms around the latter. “Xiao Wu, you’re finally back. Sob — I woke up this morning to find the window open, but you were nowhere to be seen. I was so worried!”

“Are you here alone?”

“No, everyone is here and they’re out looking for you. Uncle Qiu said that I would be late for the exam if we waited for you at home, so we all came here to look for you. You’re really here, sob —”

Chaoge was so glib and quick to react when Duan Chaoyin and Duan Chaoyue gave her attitude, but she was almost in tears when she finally saw Feng Wu. Her biggest fear was finally gone.

“Silly girl.” Feng Wu rubbed her head.

Just then, they heard a contemptuous voice.

“Xiao Wu? As in Feng Wu?” Duan Chaoyin snickered. She then scrutinized Feng Wu with a smirk on her face.

Feng Wu had no intention of talking to them. Taking Chaoge’s hand, she was going to leave, but —

“So, you’re Feng Wu —”

Duan Chaoyin said loudly. Going up to Feng Wu and walking around her, Duan Chaoyin smacked her lips. “You really are as pretty as they say. Good job.”

Feng Wu considered the two sisters a joke and she was going to lead Chaoge out of the crowd.

It would be a waste of her life to talk to them.

“Feng Wu, do you know that Duan Chaoge was poisoned?

“Do you know that her cultivation level dropped?

“Do you know she was kidnapped?

“Do you know that her engagement was canceled?

“Do you know…”

The noise over here soon attracted some attention.

Feng Wu frowned. Duan Chaoyin wanted to humiliate Chaoge in front of everyone.

“Smack!”

There came the sound of a hard slap!

It was quick and accurate and Duan Chaoyin spun around at the impact!

She was dumbfounded!

She was slapped? By a cripple?!

“Feng Wu! You’re dead!” Duan Chaoyin wanted to jump at Feng Wu and tear her to pieces, but —

“Feng Wu? What are you doing here?” A voice came from behind them.

Turning around, Feng Wu saw the face of her all-time enemy. Lady Wang was here.

Lady Wang had accompanied Feng Liu here for the exam today. She was drawn over by the hubbub of voices, but she spotted Feng Wu among the crowd.

She frowned and gave Feng Wu a dangerous look.Read more chapter on vipnovel.com

The Duan family recognized Lady Wang. Duan Chaoyin’s mother was actually quite familiar with Lady Wang, for they would often meet at social events.

Mrs Duan pointed at Feng Wu in fury and said to Lady Wang, “Is she that Feng Wu from your family? What kind of upbringing did she have? How could she hit another person in public?! Is that how the Fang clan teaches their children? Give me an explanation or I’ll never let this drop!”

The exam was about to start and many people were here. The place was packed.

Around them, all eyes were on Feng Wu now.

Lady Wang’s face darkened. She glared at Feng Wu and took a deep breath. “Why are you here?! This isn’t the right place for you!”

Feng Liu’s eyes went bloodshot red when she saw Feng Wu.

The look in her eyes was as cold as ice. “Feng Wu, I feel so ashamed to share the same surname with you!”

Immediately, many scoffed at Feng Wu.

A girl next to Feng Liu tugged at her sleeve and whispered, “Feng Liu, isn’t she here to see you off?”

Feng Liu smirked. “See me off? You think too highly of my sister here. She hates me so much. Why would she do that?”

“What’s she doing here, then?”

“How should I know? To admire us for being able to apply for Imperial College, probably. After all, she’s a cripple with no spiritual essence at all.” Feng Liu shrugged.

The onlookers all smirked at Feng Wu.

The look on Lady Wang’s face turned grimmer and she bellowed at Feng Wu, “You shouldn’t be here! You’re not qualified for the exam and you’ll only bring shame to the family! Get lost! Now!”

Mrs Duan snorted. “Really? Get lost? Did my Chaoyin just get hit for nothing?”

“Mrs Duan, how do you want this to be handled, then?” Lady Wang took a deep breath. She felt so humiliated in front of so many people and she wanted this to go away ASAP.
