Feng Xun said, “Huh?”
Feng Wu asked, “The Dongsang Kingdom, what’s their specialty?”
Feng Xun said, “Inscriptions!”
Feng Wu said, “That’s right! They’re good at and proud of their inscriptions. That’s why they want to put inscriptions on everything to keep them secret. They think that people of the Junwu Empire can’t solve the inscriptions!”
Feng Xun mumbled, “We can’t…”
Feng Wu said, “Too bad for them, they don’t know that I’m very good at inscriptions as well! So, bring it on!”
Feng Xun rubbed her head. “I know, I know. You can do Level 7 inscriptions, and that’s great. But there are higher levels.”
Feng Wu said proudly, “But I could do them when I was six!”
Feng Xun said, “Sure you can. But if that’s the case, why are you still at Level 7 now?”
Feng Wu said, “You said that on purpose, didn’t you?” If her beautiful master hadn’t suddenly fallen into a coma, she wouldn’t have remained at the same level after so many years.
Feng Xun said, “When are we going to find that list? Without the list or any leads, we won’t be able to solve the case. I heard that a war is going to break out in the north.”
Feng Wu frowned. “What do you mean?”
Feng Xun said, “My father is stationed on the northern border, and recently, his generals have been transferred to the Peace Grassland that’s slightly to the east. Do you know where that is? It’s the grassland which borders our empire and the Dongsang Kingdom. The two sides have had skirmishes in the past few years, but the battles have mostly taken place on the Peace Grassland. That’s why the common people know little about it.”
Feng Wu looked perplexed.
Feng Xun said, “By the looks of it, the battles have been growing…”
The crown prince had been reading in bed. He glanced at Feng Xun when he heard that.
Feng Xun immediately took the hint.
That was confidential information limited to the intelligence department. He should stop talking about it.
“Anyway, we should find that list ASAP. I can’t bring myself to think about spies among us while our soldiers fight on the frontline. That’s why His Majesty is so keen about this matter.”
Feng Wu nodded.
The revival list wouldn’t affect the empire so much in peaceful times.
But once war broke out, the spies could do great damage if they infiltrated the armies.
“The revival list…” Feng Wu murmured.
At that moment!
An image appeared on the wall.
Feng Wu recognized it right away. It came from something that worked like a projector.
Feng Xun and the others all jumped.
“What was that? How did you do it?!” They all looked at Feng Wu.
Feng Wu looked from the stone to Feng Xun. “I solved the inscriptions. That’s all…”
Feng Xun was speechless.
It seemed that if one didn’t know inscriptions, they couldn’t get anywhere nowadays.
“Wait. This person looks a lot like the leader of the Mars team.” Feng Wu stared at the image on the wall. “There’s his profile on the right, from his name and cultivation level to the techniques he knows… Why does he think it’s a good idea to carry this around?”
