Feng Wu greeted them with a nod.
Before she could speak, Ye Yafei smirked. “Feng Wu, you should be ashamed of yourself!”
“Ashamed?” Feng Wu was bemused.
Ye Yafei snickered. “Do you know that Chaoge just turned down an opportunity to join the imperial guards because of you? You’ve ruined Chaoge’s future. Aren’t you a little bit ashamed?”
That was actually what Yan Yue wanted to say.
As expected, Yan Yue turned her gaze on Feng Wu, looking rather displeased.
“Of course not,” Feng Wu said matter-of-factly.
The others were speechless. It was the imperial guards. Could Feng Wu be any more pretentious?
“Tch —” Ye Yafei snickered. “Feng Wu, you just can’t live with the fact that you can’t cultivate anymore, can you? You’re jealous of Chaoge’s talent and that’s why you’re stopping her from joining the imperial guards. You’re taking her down with you. You’re the most selfish and narrow-minded person I’ve ever met! I don’t know what Duan Chaoge is thinking, following you around like this.”
At those words, more people cast stern looks at Feng Wu.
Before Feng Wu said anything, Chaoge flared up.
She glared at Ye Yafei. “What’s wrong with you? It’s none of your business whether or not I join the imperial guards! Shut up already! Who the hell are you to me? Since when does your opinion count?!”
With Feng Wu to back her up, Duan Chaoge became that fierce, lively girl again.
Seeing Chaoge like this, Feng Wu smiled with relief.
God knew how her heart had ached for Chaoge when she found the latter in Elegant Ink Gallery in such a miserable state.
Ye Yafei went scarlet with embarrassment.
“You —”
Yan Yue stared at Feng Wu with a solemn and sincere look on her face. “Miss Feng, may I have a word?”
“Of course.”
Yan Yue said earnestly, “Duan Chaoge made a breakthrough from comprehending Inky Rain, which has earned her a position in the imperial guards. That’s a very rare honor. Are you sure you’re going to sabotage that wonderful opportunity for her? Miss Feng, that’s such a selfish thing to do!”
Instantly, all eyes were on Feng Wu.
Chaoge wanted to speak up, but Feng Wu stopped her.
She turned to Yan Yue and said calmly, “Chaoge will be a thousand times better staying with me than if she joined the imperial guards.”
How ungraciously immodest!
Yan Yue gave a wave of her hand, and the next second, everyone felt as if they were being sucked into a maelstrom. They stumbled and almost lost their footing.
Yan Yue then drew back her hand and everything was back to normal.
She stared at Feng Wu and said earnestly, “I’m just a foot soldier in the imperial guards, and that’s all I’m going to say!”
Feng Wu’s pupils contracted.
Yan Yue was at least a Level 2 Spiritual Grandmaster and she was a mere soldier in the imperial guards. Jun Linyuan had so many talented people working for him.
Just then, footsteps came from outside.
“Sister Yan Yue, has someone pissed you off? I see you’ve shown your muscle.”
Young Master Mu’s voice rang out.
Feng Xun was a frequent customer of World Tower, and as Feng Xun’s buddy, Young Master Mu showed up just as often. Hence, all the employees of World Tower knew him.
Young Master Mu!
Hearing that careless chuckle, Ye Yafei’s eyes lit up!
Young Master Mu was finally here!
Feng Wu, I’d like to see what you can do now!
Yan Yue turned around, saw Young Master Mu, and greeted him with a nod.
Young Master Mu waved her off, went up to them in an arrogant manner, and darted a glance at Chaoge.
