Feng Wu asked, “What?”
Jun Linyuan said, “Do you think a couple of disciplinary nannies can do anything to me?”
Feng Wu didn’t know what to say.
Just then, they heard a thump.
Feng Wu and Jun Linyuan exchanged a look.
Feng Wu said, “That was loud. I think it came from His Majesty’s room.”
Emperor Wu lived in the largest courtyard in the center, whereas Jun Linyuan’s room was in the east. Therefore, it sounded to them like the thump had come from the west.
Jun Linyuan said, “Go to bed.”
Just then, they heard running footsteps as well.
The fairy suddenly stuck her head out and cried out.
Feng Wu patted her head. “Be quiet!”
Luckily, she and the fairy could communicate with their minds. Because Feng Wu’s cultivation level wasn’t very high, Jun Linyuan couldn’t sense the fairy and the 12 trials yet, nor had he noticed her beautiful master.
The fairy looked very anxious.
Feng Wu grew uneasy and asked, “What?”
“Well… the tenth trial was just activated,” the fairy stammered.
“The tenth trial?’ Feng Wu frowned. “Aren’t I still on the ninth trial? Why is there a new one already?’
The ninth trial required Feng Wu to stay within ten steps of Jun Linyuan.
The fairy sounded very helpless. “I have no idea…”
Feng Wu said, “Fine. What’s the tenth trial, then?”
The fairy gave her a strange look.
Feng Wu suddenly had a bad feeling. “Tell me.”
The fairy said, “Find the Dongsang Kingdom’s revival list, and eliminate everyone on it.”
Feng Wu was dumbfounded. “First of all, what’s a revival list?”
The fairy looked at Feng Wu and shook her head.
Feng Wu was surprised. “You don’t know, either?”
The fairy shook her head. “No, I don’t.”
Feng Wu didn’t know what to say. “Is there a time limit, then?”
The fairy shook her head. “No.”
Feng Wu rubbed her chin. “That makes sense. A time limit would make it impossible to finish this trial. The Dongsang Kingdom’s revival list. Where do I begin?
“And why was the tenth trial suddenly triggered? I haven’t finished the ninth trial yet. Did something happen just then?” Feng Wu racked her brain for an answer. Suddenly, she heard Feng’s voice.
“There was an assassination attempt on His Majesty. The attackers were from the Dongsang Kingdom.”
What?!
Feng Wu smacked her head.
The Dongsang Kingdom… The revival list… Feng Wu’s eyes lit up.
The tenth trial was triggered when the Dongsang Kingdom tried to assassinate Emperor Wu. Was there a connection?
At that thought, Feng Wu rose to her feet.
And she pulled Jun Linyuan up as well.
Jun Linyuan had sat down on the bed, trying to repair Feng Wu’s body, but was interrupted. He frowned at her.
Feng Wu chuckled. “Shall we go visit your father?”
