However, she only took a few steps.
Something then struck her, and her stomach lurched.
This wasn’t right!
She had been so keen on getting back at Jun Linyuan that she had forgotten something very important.
She had already received the seventh trial, which still concerned Jun Linyuan, and the deadline was set for the end of the winter hunt. That was to say…
She would have to stay with this lot until the hunt was over.
Just then, two men in back walked out of a dark corner and blocked Feng Wu’s way.
She didn’t see them until they were in front of her, and they were as silent as ghosts.
They were covered in black from head to toe so that all Feng Wu could see were their sharp, cold eyes.
They blocked Feng Wu’s way on both sides.
She could see that both men were unbelievably capable.
Were they Jun Linyuan’s man?
If that was the case… Feng Wu was elated. That way, she could stay. It was the perfect excuse that she wouldn’t have been able to come up with otherwise.
But Feng Wu was also a very proud person. She turned around and glanced at Jun Linyuan. “Your Royal Highness, please don’t tell me you can’t bring yourself to watch me leave.”
From what she knew about Jun Linyuan, he wouldn’t be goaded, and she was confident that he would make her stay.
However, Jun Linyuan surprised her.
The crown prince stared at the two men and shook his head.
The two men disappeared instantly, as if they had never shown up.
Feng Wu didn’t say a word.
That was really awkward.
She then turned to look at Jun Linyuan.
But he only put his hands behind his back and slowly walked away without so much as a glance at her.
Feng Wu didn’t say a word.
Listening to the howling wind in the middle of the silent wilderness, Feng Wu felt chilled to the bone.
She was abandoned here, just like that.
Had Jun Linyuan given up on her?
Feng Wu felt very conflicted and smacked her head in frustration.
Had it not been for the seventh trial, she would have left already. Staying here was never part of her plan, but then, the seventh trial came along.
Wouldn’t it be so embarrassing if she turned around now?
She also had her dignity to consider!
Feng Wu was still hesitating over her options, when she heard a very welcome voice!
“Hey, little Feng Wu, what are you doing here all by yourself?” Feng Xun showed up out of the blue and studied her in bewilderment.
Feng Wu’s eyes lit up in pleasant surprise!
Here came her excuse!
“Well…” Feng Wu gritted her teeth and said gingerly, “I want to go home.”
“Are you an idiot?!” Feng Xun smacked her on the head, making her grimace.
“Ouch —” Feng Wu flinched and stared at Feng Xun with her teary doe eyes.
“We’re arriving at the Senal Grassland tomorrow, and you want to go home now? You have no idea what you’re talking about. Go to bed now. We have a tough battle tomorrow.” Feng Xun then tried to drag Feng Wu away.
“A tough battle?” That immediately caught Feng Wu’s attention.
Feng Xun was confused by her question. “Didn’t Boss Jun tell you?”
Feng Wu asked, “What was Jun Linyuan supposed to tell me?”
“Well — ahem —” Feng Xun immediately covered his mouth and pretended that he hadn’t said a thing. “It’s nothing. Just get a good rest tonight.”
