Chapter 1393

Even Grand Secretary Fang couldn’t remain calm anymore.

“A Level 3 Spiritual Elder?! Cough, cough —” Choking on the air he sucked in, Grand Secretary Fang broke into a fit of coughs.

“Yes, Feng Wu is already a Level 3 Spiritual Elder now!” Chief Yu sounded thrilled. After all, Feng Wu could be considered one of her students as well.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Recalling the Concealing Jade Feng Wu was wearing, Grand Secretary Fang smiled bitterly. That was why he had been misled and made that comment.

It seemed that Feng Wu was going to get all the spotlight after all.

“She may be a talented student, but her moral character...” Chief Qiao still wouldn’t give up.

Grand Secretary Fang stared at Chief Qiao. “Do you dislike the girl so much that you can’t bear to have her around you?”

Chief Qiao nodded repeatedly to express how much he disliked Feng Wu.

Grand Secretary Fang snorted. “If that’s the case, you’re relieved from your position as the chief of Initial.”

WHAT?!

Chief Qiao almost choked. He stared at Grand Secretary Fang with wide open eyes and asked, “Sir, wh- what’s that supposed to mean?”

Grand Secretary Fang smirked. “I think it’s quite self-explanatory.”

Only then did Chief Qiao realize that the old man was serious.

“Sir, I was promoted by Mr Lu himself. Even if I’m to be fired, I have to hear it from Mr Lu himself!”

Grand Secretary Fang sneered at him and casually flipped one sleeve.

Chief Qiao, who had dominated Initial for years, flew through the air like a kite with a cut string. He then fell to the ground with a loud thump.

Retch —

Chief Qiao spat out a mouthful of blood.

“Sir, how can you treat me like that over a mere student? When Mr Lu comes back —”

Grand Secretary Fang found Chief Qiao pathetic.

The man still didn’t understand what was going on.

Feng Wu was the type of genius who only showed up once every million years, but someone as common as Chief Qiao was a dime a dozen.

“You’re the chief of Initial now.” Grand Secretary Fang gave the job to Chief Yu instead.

Overwhelmed by the unexpected favor, Chief Yu immediately expressed her gratitude and pledged her loyalty.

After Chief Yu took Chief Qiao away, Grand Secretary Fang cleared his throat and headed for Fallen Star Yard.

He had been there once before, so he still remembered its members.

Steward Fang walked behind Grand Secretary Fang with a thick robe in his hands so that he could put it over the old man’s shoulders when needed.

“Grand Secretary Fang —”

Qiuling spotted Grand Secretary Fang when she walked out of her room, and immediately greeted him with a bow.

Feng Wu had the Concealing Jade, but Qiuling didn’t.

Grand Secretary Fang took one look and was astonished.

“You’re Feng Wu’s maid, aren’t you?”

Someone of Grand Secretary Fang’s status normally wouldn’t pay any attention to a maid like Qiuling, but now, he was genuinely surprised.

Qiuling didn’t expect an influential figure like Grand Secretary Fang to actually remember her, and she nodded repeatedly. “Yes, sir. I’m Qiuling, Miss Feng Wu’s chambermaid.”

Grand Secretary Fang waved at her and said, “I see that you’ve made some significant improvements recently.”

Qiuling looked thrilled when she heard the comment, and she nodded repeatedly. “Yes, sir! With the help of Miss Wu’s medicine, formation, and instructions, I’m already a Level 9 Spiritual Master now!”

To Grand Secretary Fang, a Level 9 Spiritual Master usually wasn’t worth mentioning, but —

“Sir, when we met last time, I was only a Level 3 Spiritual Master.”

The old man didn’t know what to say.
