“Yes, you’re engaged, and that marriage agreement still counts, but can’t you tell that no one from the royal family approves of it? I don’t think your uncle will let it happen either.
“As for His Royal Highness, do you think he’ll treat you like this if he really thinks of you as his future wife? He doesn’t respect you at all!”
…
Feng Wu couldn’t retort and could only listen to Chaoge in silence.
Because she knew that Chaoge only said those things because she cared about her.
Chaoge lowered her voice when she finally got tired from talking. Feng Wu took out a bottle of water and put it in her hand. “Here, have some water.”
Chaoge was still angry, but Feng Wu ignored her frustration. She unplugged the bottle and made Chaoge drink it, splashing water everywhere.
“I can drink the water on my own.”
Chaoge didn’t know what to do with Feng Wu when she was like this. No matter what she said, Feng Wu would only smile at her. She couldn’t stay mad at Feng Wu and had said all she needed to say.
Feng Wu took Chaoge’s hand and said seriously, “Don’t worry. I know what I’m doing. Right now, I need Jun Linyuan’s help.”
Duan Chaoge said, “Really?”
Feng Wu chuckled. “We grew up together. You know me. I never force myself to do things I don’t want to.”
Chaoge tilted her head and realized that Feng Wu was right.
Feng Wu had been a smart girl since she was little, and no one had ever been able to make her do things against her will. People often didn’t know what she was up to, but in the end, she would always surprise everyone.
Was she cooking up her own plan again?
Seeing that Feng Wu wasn’t being forced to do anything, Chaoge was pleased. “I know you won’t let me down!”
Feng Wu patted her on the head and said, “Let’s go see Qiuling. I’d like to check your cultivation level.”
Qiuling didn’t lose her temper like Chaoge had.
That was because she knew Feng Wu better and had been with her for much longer. Therefore, she knew that Feng Wu would only follow her own rules.
But that didn’t stop her from worrying. “Miss Wu, please send a message next time. Otherwise, we’ll be so worried.”
Feng Wu scratched her head. She had been so busy with the revival list that she had forgotten to do so.
She told Qiuling about it.
“So, that was why you were with the crown prince: to solve the case!” Chaoge looked enlightened. “You should have told us earlier. That way, I wouldn’t have been mad at you.”
Feng Wu cleared her throat. Solving the case was the tenth trial, and staying by Jun Linyuan’s side was the ninth trial. She blamed the fairy, no, Master Linghu, for everything that had happened.
Feng Wu said, “After its retreat, the Dongsang Kingdom left behind a revival list. Everyone on that list is extremely dangerous. You’re all my friends, so be careful. I may not have time to look after you.”
Chaoge patted her chest proudly. “You don’t need to. I can do a lot of things now. Guess what level I am now?”
