Shan Jingfei ground her teeth. She had always been a good daughter in her parents’ eyes. Telling them what happened here would be a humiliation!
She looked up and glared at Feng Wu.
Had it not been for Feng Wu, things would never have turned out like this.
The Shan family wasn’t one of the nine major clans, but it was still an influential one.
The parent who arrived at the War Academy was Shan Zhixiong, Shan Jingfei’s father.
It had never occurred to him that his perfect daughter would do something like this, and there was proof and witnesses.
Shan Zhixiong was petrified. He threw a dirty look at his daughter and was going to deal with her when they returned home.
However, Shan Jingfei stepped forward and looked at Gongsun Mu. “I want to make a request.
“I volunteer to go to Peace Grassland.”
Everyone looked at her in surprise.
Class B students didn’t know much about Peace Grassland.
All the students of Class A had been there before and knew how dangerous the place was.
Shan Jingfei said calmly, “I want to go to the battlefield and fight our enemies.
“I know I did the wrong thing, and I want to repent by giving my life to Hongxue. However, if I die like that, I would be wasting all the resources the school has invested in me.
“I want to fight the Dongsang soldiers on Peace Grassland. It’ll be a good way to spend the rest of my life!
“I want to stay there for at least three years. I’ll consider myself a fortunate person if I return alive. If I don’t, I won’t blame anyone either.”
Shan Zhixiong was astonished.
“No, you can’t!”
Shan Zhixiong was furious about what his daughter had done, but when he heard her request, he wouldn’t let her do that. “Peace Grassland is too dangerous! No one can stay there for that long! This is suicide!”
Shan Jingfei had tears in her eyes as she smiled sadly.
“Father, I did the wrong thing, and my crime is punishable by death. If I die in the war, I’ll get what I deserve. I’m sorry to have disappointed you.”
She then dropped to her knees and banged her forehead on the floor three times.
It pained Qiu Zeyu to see Shan Jingfei like this.
He gritted his teeth. “You don’t have to…”
“No, I have to. I did the wrong thing, and I have to take responsibility,” Shan Jingfei said firmly. She then turned to Feng Wu.
The smile on her face was almost genuine. “Feng Wu, I want to thank you. If you hadn’t pointed out my mistake, I wouldn’t have realized what I’d done. You woke me up.
“If you hadn’t taught me a lesson, I would still be the stubborn girl who wouldn’t admit her mistakes. Thank you.”
Feng Wu studied her and shook her head inwardly.
It wasn’t easy to beat Shan Jingfei.
Even in this situation, she could still escape punishment by going to Peace Grassland.
Once she was there, she would have plenty of chances to stay alive.
Moreover, if Shan Jingfei’s gratitude were genuine, she wouldn’t have made that little speech. She was trying to make people hate Feng Wu. She had done it on purpose.
It was incredible!
Shan Zhixiong and Qiu Zeyu glared at Feng Wu like she had killed all their family members.
Shan Jingfei bowed to Gongsun Mu and Mr. Yang. “Sir, would you please let me go to Peace Grassland?”
