Chapter 1306: An Accident
“Xiao Wu, you’re back! Why did you run so fast? Is someone chasing you?”
Feng Wu smiled. “It’s okay. I’ve thrown off the person already.”
She rubbed the cub’s head as she spoke.
She didn’t expect the little thing to be so clever. Not only did it mimic a cat, it also did a great job.
“So, did you get what you want?” Seeing how happy Feng Wu was, Chaoge knew that she had probably succeeded.
Feng Wu nodded. “Don’t worry, Zuo Qingyu won’t get what she wants.”
Chaoge had no idea what Feng Wu had done, but she trusted Feng Wu, like she always had.
One day, two days, three days…
Feng Wu was idle for the next few days and watched Little Phoenix as it refined the sand.
And on the fourth day!
Chaoge felt that she couldn’t wait anymore. Nudging Feng Wu with her elbow, she asked, “Didn’t you say that it was going to be alright? Why isn’t anything happening?”
Feng Wu was equally confused.
Based on her calculations, it should have happened by now, and she wondered what was going on.
Despite her thoughts, Feng Wu didn’t let them show. Instead, she smiled and said, “Just wait and see. If I’m right, it’s going to happen soon.”
“What’s going to happen soon?” The old steward showed up out of the blue, followed by Zuo Qingyu.
The old man had a serious look on his face while Zuo Qingyu gloated.
She walked around Feng Wu and grinned in satisfaction. “Feng Wu, why are you still here?”
Feng Wu didn’t reply, so Zuo Qingyu went on, “Didn’t I tell you already? Master Rong Yang is making a formidable dagger for my family, and there goes his quota for the year. If you knew any better, you should have left by now. There’s just no point in staying here.”
Chaoge flared up before Feng Wu could say anything. She glared at Zuo Qingyu and said, “Shut up! No one wants to listen to you!”
“Oh my, isn’t it Duan Chaoge, Feng Wu’s little minion?” Zuo Qingyu pointed at Chaoge with her whip. “Your master hasn’t said anything yet. Why are you yelling at me?”
Chaoge was infuriated.
On guard, Feng Wu narrowed her eyes.
Master?
It was obvious that Zuo Qingyu wanted to drive a wedge between Feng Wu and Chaoge. However, Chaoge wasn’t the type to take the bait.
“Zuo Qingyu, go to hell!” Chaoge charged at her.
Right at that moment, that giant man put himself in front of Zuo Qingyu and glared at Chaoge with eyes as big as lanterns.
Feng Wu stopped Chaoge.
The stalwart man was known as Tuo and was much stronger than either of them. Fighting him wouldn’t do them any good.
However, Zuo Qingyu wouldn’t let it drop. “Feng Wu, why aren’t you saying anything? Have you given up already?”
“I see that Miss Zuo doesn’t have anything better to do.” Feng Wu gave her a half-smile. “If that’s the case, why don’t you pay more attention to your ‘formidable weapon’?”
Feng Wu had been feeling a little guilty for destroying the precious dragon scale gold, but after she saw Zuo Qingyu’s attitude, all her guilt disappeared.
“What about my dagger? Master Rong Yang’s working on it.” Zuo Qingyu gloated. “If things go to plan, he’ll be finished by the end of the day. What? Are you jealous?”
