In Imperial College —
The college had never been this lively before.
The Year 1 quarter.
Blue Cloud Court.
“Have you heard? Something happened in the Xuanyuan family.”
“Everyone’s heard about it by now. Who would have thought? Lady Cai and Zuo Qingliu… that’s some hardcore stuff.”
“Xuanyuan Yi looks as noble as a prince. Who would’ve thought he has such a mother?”
“Hey, which family do you think he really belongs to? The Xuanyuan or the Zuo family?”
“By the way, I heard that Feng Wu was somehow involved?”
“She got lost or something and the others went to look for her. They stumbled on Lady Cai and Zuo Qingliu during the search.”
“Oh, god! So Feng Wu started the whole thing?”
It was human nature to gossip, even when the people in question were talented new students of Imperial College.
“That’s right. Feng Wu was the reason this happened, so things are so awkward for her now.”
“Do you think the Xuanyuan family will go after Feng Wu for it?”
“I’m sure they will. If she hadn’t gone lost, Lady Cai’s affair wouldn’t have been exposed.”
“Plus, the Zuo family must really hate Feng Wu. I heard that Zuo Qingliu is dead.”
“Wow! Really? Zuo Qingliu is dead? He’s the second son of the Zuo family!”
“His sister is Zuo Qingluan, and the Zuo family has prospered in the last few years. Feng Wu is going to be in so much trouble.”
While everyone was discussing the topic, Feng Wu walked into Imperial College.
The newbie quarter —
“There’s Feng Wu! She’s here.”
“Seriously? She’s bold enough to come to school at a time like this? Isn’t she afraid of death?”
“Why don’t I see her? Where did she go?”
“I was walking behind her, and saw her enter the teachers’ office.”
“What’s she doing there?”
Everyone was curious.
Meanwhile, Feng Wu had indeed gone to see the teachers.
Qiao Yi and the other teachers were all in the office, except for Chief Yu.
Qiao Yi’s face darkened as soon as she spotted Feng Wu.
It was her —
Qiao Yi snorted. Someone had visited her at home the night before and made a deal with her. The deal was about none other than Feng Wu.
Little did she expect to find Feng Wu on her doorstep the following day.
Seeing that Chief Yu wasn’t there, Feng Wu turned to leave, but Qiao Yi stopped her.
“You didn’t even greet your teachers. Is that how a student should behave?” Qiao Yi smirked.
Feng Wu glanced at Qiao Yi with a frown.
Qiao Yi was sneering inwardly. Before, Feng Wu had been backed by someone superior and Grand Secretary Fang had been nice to her, so Qiao Yi couldn’t afford to offend her.
But now, both the Xuanyuan and Zuo families wanted Feng Wu dead. Hence, Qiao Yi didn’t think there would be any consequences to turning against Feng Wu.
Qiao Yi was very confident. Rising from her seat, she went up to Feng Wu with her arms crossed and a smirk on her face. “What a surprise. I didn’t think you would be bold enough to show up here at school.”
Feng Wu turned to leave.
But Qiao Yi wouldn’t let her.
“Who the hell do you think you are? How dare you disrespect me? You’re no more than a dog to me!”
Qiao Yi was young herself, after all. She had only been a teacher here for a year, and deep down, she was still spoiled and arrogant.
Feng Wu was never the docile type. She might not be bothered to retort to Qiao Yi at any other time, but now —
