“Sister? Sister?” Feng Xiaoqi tugged on Feng Wu’s sleeve.

Feng Wu said, “... What?”

“Why aren’t you talking to me? Why did the spiritual stones break and why did I make a breakthrough? Why?” The boy looked confused.

Feng Wu said grumpily, “Feng Xiaoqi, stop asking already. I’m feeling very defeated at the moment, so don’t make it worse.”

“Huh?” Feng Xiaoqi scratched his head. “Sister, I...”

Feng Wu chuckled.

“Sister, you’re not mad! I was so scared.” Feng Xiaoqi let out a breath of relief.

Feng Wu rubbed his head. “Xiaoqi, I kept you from cultivating for the past five years. and you followed my instructions without fail. You never tried to practice behind my back. It’s time you earned your reward.”

Feng Wu would have cultivated in secret if she were him.

But Xiaoqi was such an obedient boy. Feng Wu told him not to cultivate and he really hadn’t for five years.

He deserved to make such rapid progress.

Just then —

“Xiao Wu, Xiao Wu —”

An excited voice came from outside.

Chaoge?

It was indeed her. Feng Wu turned around and saw Duan Chaoge rush into the yard.

“Xiao Wu —” Chaoge was still chubby, but she looked a lot more proportionate already. “I can finally see you! It’s so hard to find you. I almost broke into a fight with them.”

Feng Wu smiled. “Why are you here so early?”

“After yesterday, how could I not come visit you? I would have come last night, but I was afraid they would think I was a thief.” Chaoge beamed at Feng Wu. “Wait, why are you reading these?”

A few books were scattered around on Feng Wu’s desk.

Chaoge flipped through them in passing and her eyes flickered. “Why, aren’t they the reading materials for Imperial College’s literacy test? What do you need them for?”

Feng Wu raised an eyebrow. “To take the exam, of course.”

“But...” Chaoge paused, then said hesitantly, “But don’t you have to be at least a Level 9 Spiritual Master to get into Imperial College?”

And Feng Wu didn’t have any cultivation ability, did she?

She wasn’t even qualified to apply.

Feng Wu smiled. “That won’t be a problem.”

“Huh?” Chaoge was confused.

Feng Wu gave a wave of her hand and a magpie on the roof nearby tumbled down... When it almost hit the ground, Feng Wu pinched her fingers together and the bird was suspended in mid-air.

Chaoge was astonished!

Turning around, she looked at Feng Wu in disbelief.

Feng Wu grinned.

Chaoge said, “Xiao Wu... are you telling me that... you actually can cultivate?”

Feng Wu’s smile broadened.

“Ahhh —”

Chaoge’s thrilled cry almost tore the roof off!

Covering her mouth with both hands, Chaoge burst into tears.

Oh god —

Xiao Wu wasn’t a good-for-nothing. She was awesome. She really was —

Chaoge was dazed on the spot at the discovery. Her head went blank and she didn’t know where to put her hands. It was more exciting than experiencing a breakthrough herself.

“Xiao Wu, you have your ability back, sob — You can cultivate... You’re not useless... I knew it....” Chaoge couldn’t stop her tears and she almost passed out from crying.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Feng Wu had no choice but to calm her down.
