What?!
Feng Liu and Dugu Yamo didn’t like the sound of that at all!
Feng Wu frowned a little.
This Ranmil… She was such a show-off. How interesting.
Feng Xun frowned, too.
He didn’t know why he frowned, but he just knew that there was something wrong with what Ranmil said.
At the same time.
Feng Liu asked, “Princess, why do you want to give it to Feng Wu? Why?!”
Ranmil said gingerly, “Because… because Princess Feng Wu is the future wife of His Royal Highness, which means that His Royal Highness sees something in her. She’s supposed to be the best girl here… No, I mean, she’s supposed to be the best girl on this continent… That’s why she should be the captain.”
Feng Wu gave Ranmil a half-smile.
Awesome. The princess had just taken revenge for what Feng Wu said about her earlier.
She used the opportunity to make Feng Wu the target to be humiliated by Feng Liu and Dugu Yamo when she herself got to play the nice person. She didn’t need to say anything, and the others would do it for her.
Interesting. Very interesting.
Feng Liu and Dugu Yamo went on ingratiating themselves with Ranmil. “Of course you’re worthy. You’re the best. You’re the true match of the crown prince, and Feng Wu is nothing. His Royal Highness has never acknowledged her…”
They went on disparaging Feng Wu and lavishing praise on Ranmil.
Feng Xun smacked his head.
He finally figured it out!
Why was he upset? Because Ranmil was so fake… Ranmil, this is who you are! I used to think you were so innocent! You’re such a hypocrite! thought Feng Xun.
He glared at Ranmil. “Are you done?!”
That immediately silenced everyone.
Feng Xun smirked. “The Black Robe Ghost King made you the captain, so be it. Stop acting already. You’ll only disgust Feng Wu! I know what you’re doing!”
Ranmil’s stomach lurched.
Shit!
She had deliberately made Feng Liu and Dugu Yamo say those things while she played the part of the innocent bunny. However, she had overdone it, and Feng Xun was now suspicious of her.
No —
Ranmil’s ultimate target was Jun Linyuan, but to get him, she had to get Feng Xun first.
Ranmil smiled bitterly and said, “Young Lord Feng, you’re mistaken. I really didn’t mean it. I genuinely want Princess Feng Wu to be the captain…”
Feng Xun frowned and wanted to say something else.
Ranmil cajoled Feng Xun in a soft, gentle voice, “Alright, alright. If you don’t like it, I won’t say another word. Is that okay?
“Although I don’t feel that I’m worthy of this position, if I keep declining it, Young Lord Feng will be even more misled. So, I guess I’m the captain.”
The others all nodded.
Ranmil said, “But it’s so hard to pick the six members. Please don’t hate me if you’re not picked… I’m not doing it willingly.”
Hearing this, the others all said that they understood, and looked eagerly at her.
