Chapter 1333: His Royal Highness Heard It
“Wait, the old master has come out of seclusion by now, right? I’ll go talk to him!” Feng Wu smacked her forehead and cried out.
By “the old master,” she meant Grand Secretary Fang.
“No, he hasn’t.” Feng Xun’s words shattered Feng Wu’s hopes. “It seemed something came up, and he’s going to be in seclusion for a few more days.”
Feng Wu rubbed her forehead and wondered why disasters always happened one after another.
“I’m going to talk to Chief Qiao now!” Feng Wu ran toward the door. However, Feng Xun stopped her before she could leave. “Do you know where he lives?”
Feng Wu shook her head.
“Do you know how much Chief Qiao hates you now?”
Feng Wu was speechless.
“How are you going to persuade him?”
Feng Wu was speechless.
After she calmed down, Feng Wu finally realized how difficult the situation was.
“I’ll go find Jun Linyuan!” Feng Wu said without hesitation.
Feng Wu considered Master Rong Yang, Master Dugu, or even Emperor Wu, but Jun Linyuan seemed to be the best candidate.
Staring at Feng Xun, Feng Wu said rapidly, “Jun Linyuan is without doubt an influential figure. As long as he puts in a word for me, no matter how reluctant Chief Qiao is, he’ll have to say yes.”
Feng Xun asked, “Are you so sure that Boss Jun can make that happen?”
Feng Wu gave Feng Xun a strange look. “Trust me. Jun Linyuan can do it. If he can’t, no one can.”
Feng Xun looked intrigued and asked Feng Wu, “So, that’s how impressive you find Boss Jun. Then why do you always offend him? Why did you say you don’t like him?”
Feng Wu snorted. “Of course Jun Linyuan is an impressive figure. The entire continent knows that, and I’m not blind. But you know how snappy he is.”
“Well… About that, Xiao Wu, actually, he’s…” Feng Xun was cut off before he could go on.
Taking a deep breath, Feng Wu said, “That’s why I have to persuade Jun Linyuan. Tell me where he is now.”
Time was of the essence here. She only had less than two hours left. With each passing second, her chances of finishing the trial diminished.
“Boss Jun is…” Before Feng Xun could finish, they heard someone clearing his throat outside the door.
Feng Wu was dumbfounded.
Chaoge nudged Feng Wu with her elbow. “Xiao Wu, look —”
She gestured at the door.
The door opened by itself to reveal a tall figure. Feng Wu was dumbfounded as soon as she saw who it was.
The teenager had his back to them.
Dressed in a white robe, the teenager was tall and elegant. The silver moonlight poured over him, reminding one of an immortal descending to this world.
It was none other than Jun Linyuan himself!
Feng Wu was dumbfounded, and she bit her lip so hard that it almost bled.
She glared at Feng Xun and asked with her eyes, “Has Jun Linyuan been there this whole time?”
Feng Xun shrugged. It was true. He had done it on purpose.
Feng Wu was speechless.
That was to say, Jun Linyuan had heard all her comments just then.
Feng Wu was speechless.
She had never blushed so hard before. Her cheeks turned pink, and she wrung her fair, slender fingers together. She didn’t know what to do.
