Seeing that she had successfully confused Chaoge, Feng Wu chuckled. “You don’t have to understand everything. All you need to know now is that we can start from this Grandmaster Wu and work our way up to Grand Secretary Fang.”
Once they made Grand Secretary Fang’s acquaintance, all would be easy. They could borrow as many past papers as they wanted!
Moreover, Feng Wu was trying to purchase Grand Secretary Fang’s manor and she had been looking for a chance to meet the old man, but she hadn’t been able to find one until now.
Feng Wu had thought about using Feng Xun as a go-between, but she then realized that Jun Linyuan didn’t like her interacting with Feng Xun too often… although she had no idea why.
Hence, she had to depend on herself now.
“But how are we supposed to get to know Grandmaster Wu? Will Master Bian recommend us to him?” Chaoge found that approach rather unreliable.
“That’s right!” Chaoge smacked a hand on her thigh and cried out. “I remember!”
“You remember what?” Feng Wu looked at her in bewilderment.
“Master Bian participated in the creation of Imperial College’s essence-gathering formation, right? I just remembered that someone told me that his master was a guest advisor at Imperial College and a bigshot in the formation department. Come to think of it, they were referring to Grandmaster Wu!”
Chaoge sighed with emotion. “Both Fang and Wu are valuable assets of the empire, and I’d be over the moon if they were to somehow appreciate our capabilities… But they’re such superior figures that I can’t see how we’re going to get ourselves noticed. Sigh —”
Feng Wu smiled. “Not necessarily.”
Just then, Uncle Qiu came in and looked at Feng Wu in a strange way.
Feng Wu was confused. “Uncle Qiu, what’s wrong? Do you have news for me?”
Uncle Qiu said awkwardly, “Miss, didn’t you tell me to ask around about where Grandmaster Wu lives?”
Feng Wu nodded.
“If I’m not mistaken, Priest Wu is coming this way —” Uncle Qiu didn’t know how to describe his feelings at that moment.
Exactly how lucky could Miss Wu be? As soon as she wanted to find out where Grandmaster Wu lived, Grandmaster Wu was on her doorstep!
“That’s a happy coincidence.” Even Feng Wu was surprised and she rose to her feet involuntarily.
Chaoge’s eyes widened. “Uncle Qiu, are you talking about THE Grandmaster Wu? The treasure of the empire?”
Uncle Qiu nodded in a solemn manner. “Yes. Master Bian was with him, so it has to be the guy.”
“Are they coming here?” Chaoge cried out in surprise.
“No. If I’ve guessed right, they’re going to the Fang manor.” Feng Wu looked pensive.
Please don’t tell her that Priest Wu had his eye on the Fang manor as well!
“Xiao Wu, this is a great opportunity. What are we going to do?” Chaoge tugged at Feng Wu’s sleeve in excitement.
Talk about sheer luck. Priest Wu and Grand Secretary Fang were under the same roof now, and it would be such a waste if they didn’t seize this opportunity.
Rubbing her chin, Feng Wu walked back and forth in the room.
Her head was spinning and several ideas came to her, but she ruled all of them out.
All of a sudden!
Feng Wu’s eyes lit up!
She knew what to do —
At the same time.
In the Fang manor next door to the Feng manor.
Grand Secretary Fang stood in front of a window and was examining the Whistling Vase in an affectionate way.
He had noticed the unusual characteristics of this Whistling Vase yesterday, which was why he had decided to buy it. However, after examining it closely last night, Grand Secretary Fang realized in surprise that —
