Squeak —
Feng Wu pushed the door open and came out.
Qiuling and the others cried out in surprise. “Miss Wu, there you are!”
Chaoge asked excitedly, “Xiao Wu, have you figured it out?!”
Feng Wu looked at the other members of Fallen Star Yard. None of them had gotten any sleep the night before, and they all looked rather pale.
No matter how difficult life was in the outside world, these lovely people would always be there for her. Feng Wu felt much more reassured whenever she thought of them.
“Yes, I have. I’m going to Three Trees Valley now. You guys just stay here and get some rest.”
Feng Wu jumped onto her horse and sped off.
“Xiao Wu, I’m going with you!” Chaoge left after Feng Wu.
“Put that painting in a safe place and don’t lose it!” Feng Wu shouted.
As soon as she left Fallen Star Yard, the crown prince’s residence heard the news.
In the crown prince’s study.
The crown prince sat quietly at his desk with his legs crossed and his eyes closed.
The candle cast shadows on his face, and his sculptured profile was stunning.
While the crown prince and Xuan Yi were cultivating, Feng Xun was restless.
He walked around in circles and kept mumbling to himself.
“Can Xiao Wu figure out that riddle or not?
“Boss Jun, are you sure that painting isn’t too difficult? There’re so many distracting elements in it.
“Gosh, I hope she didn’t stay up late. Sleep is so important for girls her age…”
Irritated, Xuan Yi snapped at him. “Don’t you worry. Little Feng Wu is very smart. I’m sure she’ll figure it out in three days.”
Feng Xun pulled a long face. “But Boss Jun always hides a cultivation technique in each of his paintings. She won’t be able to figure out the answer before she learns the technique.”
Xuan Yi nodded, because that was true.
Feng Xun and Xuan Yi turned to Jun Linyuan in unison.
The crown prince still sat there, looking unperturbed. He then said indifferently, “She’s going to figure it out before the end of the day.”
Feng Xun and Xuan Yi smiled bitterly.
If she had to learn the technique before figuring out the answer, there was no way…
“Your Royal Highness —”
A man dressed head to toe in black walked into the study.
The crown prince said, “What?”
The man said, “Miss Feng Wu has figured out the answer and is on her way to Three Trees Valley.”
“What?!” Feng Xun jumped to his feet and yelled, “Are you sure? She really figured out the answer?!”
The man said quietly, “Yes.”
“OMG!” Feng Xun cried out. “So, it took little Feng Wu less than a night to learn the technique and figure out the answer?!”
He was utterly amazed by her amazing sense of perception.
Xuan Yi nudged Feng Xun with an elbow to make him look at Jun Linyuan.
Feng Xun looked up involuntarily and saw their Boss Jun smiling. His eyes twinkled and there was obvious pride on his face.
“Boss Jun, do you like Feng Wu?”
Feng Xun blurted out the question.
The proud look instantly vanished from Jun Linyuan’s face.
He stared at Feng Xun with his cold, piercing eyes.
