“I’d like to know the answer as well!” someone said angrily from the doorway.
Mr. Zhu turned around and saw his wife charging into the room, her eyes shining brightly with fury.
He closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
Ms. Zhen walked up to her husband and looked him in the eye.
“Tell me why! Now!” She glared at Mr. Zhu.
Mr. Zhu looked from his wife to his daughter.
He took a deep breath and slowly said, “With everything that has happened, can’t you see it?
“Feng Wu isn’t useless by any standard! She’s a genius!”
Zhen Ya smirked. “Father, don’t be ridiculous. Feng Wu is a genius? She might have been a genius once, but she lost her ability five years ago; everyone knows that. She’s completely crippled.”
Mr. Zhu said tauntingly, “Are you saying that your father was defeated by a cripple?”
Zhen Ya and Ms. Zhen’s pupils contracted.
They couldn’t believe their ears.
“Father!”
“Husband?!”
Mr. Zhu took another deep breath. He breathed out, paused, and said, “You heard me correctly. Feng Wu defeated me.”
Zhen Ya didn’t know what to say.
Mr. Zhu was speechless.
The room was completely silent.
It was as if the air had frozen.
Mr. Zhu stared at Ms. Zhen. “Avoid Feng Wu as much as you can when she goes to the cultivation room. If you can’t avoid her, avoid any confrontation.”
Ms. Zhen wanted to say something, but Mr. Zhu cut her off.
“Don’t treat her like a common student! She’s a genius! The most brilliant kind!
“And you!” Mr. Zhu turned to his daughter. “Don’t offend Feng Wu ever again. Remember, she’s a genius, and she has every right to be arrogant. If you don’t get in her way, she won’t do anything to you either.
“But if you don’t listen to my advice and you offend her, you’ll be responsible for the consequences. I won’t have anything to do with it!”
He left after giving that warning.
Ms. Zhen and Zhen Ya were completely at a loss.
What was wrong with this world?
How could Feng Wu be a genius?
Meanwhile, in Room 2001.
Zi Ling would check her 1,000 points from time to time and be as happy as a little mouse.
Chaoge said, “Zi Ling, stop giggling. You look silly.”
Zi Ling said, “You have no idea how hard it is to earn points! I’ve never had more than 100 points, but now, I have 1,000! I want to show off to the entire school!”
Chaoge said, “Try to keep a low profile.”
Zi Ling said, “But it’s so hard! Xiao Wu is obviously a genius, but they’re calling her useless! It makes me so mad!”
Chaoge shrugged. Xiao Wu was humble that way, and there was nothing they could do.
Zi Ling asked, “By the way, another event is coming up. Can I join your team again?”
Chaoge said, “Of course you can.”
