Hence, Feng Xun told her everything in detail.
“What do you think? Any clues?” Feng Xun asked nervously.
Feng Wu rubbed her chin and thought for a moment.
“Have you checked everywhere?” she asked.
Feng Xun said, “Yes. We left no stone unturned, but we found nothing.”
Feng Wu suddenly had an idea. “Did you say that all three captains were injured?”
Feng Xun said, “Yes. It was a fierce battle, and one of them was definitely severely injured. The other two have minor injuries. Plus, we’ve closed down the city now, and no one is allowed to leave. They have to be in the imperial capital.”
Feng Wu rubbed her chin and was deep in thought.
Feng Xun looked at her expectantly. He knew that with Feng Wu here, all his problems would be solved.
“Have a look at this.” Feng Wu handed him a piece of paper.
Feng Xun read it. It was the message Gu Xingyuan had left next to Qiuling.
Feng Xun was furious. “Did he do something to you?!”
Feng Wu said, “Don’t worry, I taught him a lesson. Have a sniff. Do you notice anything?”
Feng Xun shook his head. “I can’t smell anything.”
Feng Wu smiled. “Try again.”
Feng Xun smacked his head.
“Gosh! I see!” He jumped to his feet.
“Wait.” Feng Wu stopped him. “There’s no rush. We need a plan so that we don’t alarm them.”
Feng Xun was very excited. “Xiao Wu, I knew you could help me! You’re the smartest! By the way, why have you stopped visiting Boss Jun…”
Feng Wu was avoiding Jun Linyuan now, so she changed the subject. “Are you familiar with the secret guards?”
Feng Xun said, “Of course I am. So are you.”
Feng Wu’s eyes lit up. “Do you mean Xuan Yi?”
Feng Xun had wanted to keep her guessing, but Feng Wu had already figured it out.
“Both Xuan Yi and I were promoted after we got back. I’m still in the espionage department, but Xuan Yi went to work for the secret guards.”
Feng Wu nodded and went to find Xuan Yi.
Fallen Star Yard.
Feng Wu was cultivating in the yard when she heard footsteps outside.
“Is Sister Xiao Wu in?”
Feng Wu frowned when she heard the voice.
Granny Zhao turned the person down. “Miss Wu is cultivating now. Miss Qi, please go back.”
It was Feng Qi.
Feng Qi bit her lip and put on a sad face. “Sister Xiao Wu still won’t see me, right? I…”
Granny Zhao said, “Miss Qi, please leave.”
Feng Qi stomped her foot and left reluctantly.
As soon as they were far away enough, Qiaojia, Feng Qi’s maid, started complaining. “Miss Qi, we don’t have to do this every day. This is so humiliating.”
Feng Qi didn’t say anything.
Qiaojia went on. “Miss, why are we doing this? After what she did to us…”
Feng Qi stopped and said coldly, “She won’t be around for much longer. As her cousin, shouldn’t I bid her farewell?”
Qiaojia was confused..
