3248 Clever Girl (2)
Feng Wu didn’t know what Auntie Qing’s background was, but the woman wasn’t afraid of Elder Wu at all.
She retorted, “Old Wu, what are you talking about? Xiao Wu is so pretty. It’s only natural that the crown prince likes her. You don’t know anything!”
Feng Wu gave Auntie Qing a surprised look and gave her a thumbs up.
Auntie Qing raised her chin proudly. That old man wasn’t the only one who could raise his voice.
Elder Wu glared at Auntie Qing and was so angry that his beard shook. However, for some reason, he didn’t flare up in the end. He only glared at Feng Wu and left.
Feng Wu was speechless.
Why was she the one being glared at?
Did Elder Wu specialize in picking on an easy target?
But before Feng Wu could say anything, Elder Wu had already left. Meanwhile, Auntie Qing snorted. “Old Wu is such a troublemaker.”
She looked at Feng Wu apologetically. “Xiao Wu, you’ve been discovered by Old Wu. I really can’t put you in the Military Academy team now.”
Feng Wu told her it was fine.
Auntie Qing took Feng Wu’s hand. “Come on. Let’s go to the Imperial College section. I’ll take you to their supervisor and tell them to take good care of you.”
She explained to Feng Wu as they walked. “The person in charge is the head of the Magical Equipment Division. He’s in seclusion now, so you won’t be able to see him for the time being.
“The second-in-command is the deputy minister. He’s also in charge of the Military Academy, and he’s Old Wu, the man you saw just now.
“The third-in-command… Normally, he should be the person in charge of Imperial College, but for some unknown reason, that position has been given to Master Duanmu.
“Although Master Duanmu is the third-in-command, his status is extraordinary. Even the ministers don’t dare to offend him. Master Duanmu can directly talk to Mr. Xu and even the general.
“The next one in the command chain is finally from Imperial College. His name is Wang Zhiheng. He used to be Master Duanmu’s junior brother, but for some reason, the two of them don’t have a good relationship now.”
Auntie Qing was telling Feng Wu all the secrets of the Magical Equipment Division. She had a good impression of Feng Wu.
If she didn’t have a good impression of Feng Wu, she could just throw the latter into the team after bringing her over. No explanation was needed.
As Auntie Qing spoke, Feng Wu listened. Auntie Qing was in high spirits, and Feng Wu listened attentively. It was a harmonious conversation.
Auntie Qing suddenly asked Feng Wu, “Do you know how the Magical Equipment Division works?”
Feng Wu asked, “What? How?”
Auntie Qing said, “Didn’t you ask around before you came in? You really don’t know anything?”
Feng Wu put on an innocent face.
Auntie Qing sighed. “You foolish girl… Why is Elder Dongfang so petty? Why is she so calculative with a child? Why is she even angry with you? She’s too old to behave that way.”
Auntie Qing told Feng Wu, “There are dozens of teams here. The higher-ups give out missions, and the teams take them on.
“We have several modes here. The most common one is the inscription workshop where the master takes in junior apprentices.”
Auntie Qing led Feng Wu into Imperial College’s section. As they walked, she pointed at the separated spaces around them and said to Feng Wu, “Look, some of these rooms are big and some are small. The ones near the door are the biggest, and the further in you go, the smaller the rooms.”
