That was so frightening…

Chills ran down their spines.

They couldn’t imagine what kind of doomsday Feng Liu and her people were experiencing in a mere courtyard.

Moreover, judging by the frightened looks on their faces, the cold sweat rolling down their foreheads, and their stiff bodies…

They weren’t acting! They really were living in a nightmare!

What a formidable formation…

Chaoge and the others involuntarily took another step back.

“Mum, it hurts! I’ve been struck by lightning! Sob —”

Feng Liu was so scared that her face had drained of all color. Her pain looked genuine.

“Ah! My head! My hands! Ahhh! I’m burning! I’m on fire!

“Stop it! I didn’t do anything wrong! I have a clear conscience!

“Sob, I didn’t mean to do harm to Feng Wu back then…

“Stop it! I… I did mean it! I did it to Feng Wu on purpose…

“She was too talented! I was jealous! Stop it! Mum! Help!

“Ahhh —”

Feng Liu screamed as excruciating pain flashed through her head. She jolted and fell backward.

The wind and the rain stopped altogether —

When Feng Liu came back to herself —

She saw that nothing was out of place.

The ground was flat, the courtyard was quiet, and the parasol tree stood tall… Feng Xiaoqi and the others were looking at her in amazement, then a face came into view…

“Feng Wu!!!”

Feng Liu cringed involuntarily at the sight of Feng Wu!

She had yet to recover from what she had just experienced!

The flashing lightning, rumbling thunder, and the dark swamp… She had been burnt to a crisp by the thunderstrike, but now —

Feng Liu looked down —

Her dress was spotless. There was no sign of any such strike.

So nothing actually happened?

Head spinning, Feng Liu felt a chill run down her spine!

If that was just an illusion… That was so frightening!

Taking Lady Wang’s hand, Feng Liu turned to leave!

“Stop.”

Feng Wu’s cold voice rang out behind her.

“W- What do you want?”

Feng Liu’s clothes were soaked with cold sweat and her face had drained of all color. She stared at Feng Wu.

“Do you think you can just come and go like you own the place?” Feng Wu snorted.

“W- What on earth do you want from me?” Feng Liu stumbled back.

That nightmare had come so suddenly and was so terrifying that Feng Liu was overwhelmed by her fear of Feng Wu. All she could think of now was to get away from here at once and never return!

“Sister, she said you didn’t get into Imperial College!” Feng Xiaoqi picked the right time to tell on Feng Liu.

“Did she?” Feng Wu smiled.

Feng Xiaoqi rushed over to pick up the list that had been ripped apart by Chaoge, then handed it to Feng Wu. “Here, Sister. She brought this and told us that the results were out. Mum was so upset that she almost cried.”

Feng Wu cast a stern look at Feng Liu!

She almost made her beautiful mother cry?

“You brought this?” Feng Wu slowly went up to Feng Liu.

Feng Liu stubbornly stuck out her chest.

“I did!”

She cheered up when she recalled the results on the list. “Feng Wu, you know what? You didn’t get into the first 1000. So, game over for you.”

“Really? Where are you on that list, then?” Feng Wu asked in an unhurried tone.

“I’m the 1000th! I just made it in! Hahahaha —” Resting her hands on her waist, Feng Liu gloated!

“So, you’re last on the list.” Feng Wu said in resignation.

“But you didn’t even get in, hahahaha —” Feng Liu darted a contemptuous look at Feng Wu. “At least I can proceed to the physical tryout, and you can’t!”

Feng Wu glanced at the list. “You learned that from this list?”

“Yes.” Feng Liu was very pleased.

“I don’t believe it.”

“Heh —” Feng Liu smirked. Feng Wu then said, “Who knows where you got that list from.”

“Why don’t you believe it? Why? My brother got it from Imperial College!” Feng Liu stuck her nose in the air.

“I see —” Feng Wu said with a drawl. “So, this list was announced before the results are out?”

The look on Feng Liu’s face changed a little.

Feng Wu snorted. “I’d like to confirm the authenticity of this list!”

“And what if it’s real?” Feng Liu began to panic.

Feng Wu was able to get recommendation letters from three bosses, which meant that she did have some connections up there.

“If it’s real… I’ll find out who leaked the information!” Feng Wu took the list and headed for the gate.

“No!” Feng Liu really panicked now.

She clung to Feng Wu and wouldn’t let go. “You’re not going anywhere! Stop!”

Feng Wu said proudly, “I’m going to Imperial College now! I’d like to know if this list is real and who’s spreading it!”

“You’re not going!”

Feng Liu worried that Feng Yiran would be incriminated when someone looked into the matter.

“Are you threatening me now?” Feng Wu smirked.

“I…” Feng Liu was about to say something threatening when she met Feng Wu’s sharp, cold gaze. The scene from earlier came back to her instantly and she broke into a cold sweat.

“Apologize.” Feng Wu stared at her. “Apologize to my family, now!”

Lady Wang and Feng Liu looked at each other awkwardly.

They had come here to scoff at Feng Wu and have a good laugh. But they had to apologize now?

No!

Then, Feng Wu repeated her intention to go ask around at Imperial College.

In the end, Feng Liu mumbled with a long face, “…Sorry.”

“Can’t hear it.”

“Sorry…”

“Can’t hear it.”

“I said I’m sorry!”

“Can’t hear it.”

“Feng Wu, you’re doing this on purpose, aren’t you! You’re making fun of me!”

“And you just figured that out?” Feng Wu sneered at Feng Liu.

At the same time.

Grand Secretary Fang and Master Bai arrived at Imperial College.

Since Mr Lu was in seclusion, Mr Zuo, the deputy principal, came out to greet them.

Looking from Grand Secretary Fang to Master Bai, Mr Zuo was confused. “May I ask to what do I owe this pleasure —”

Before Master Bai said anything, Grand Secretary Fang spoke. “Let’s go to the record office first.”

The record office? Mr Zuo raised an eyebrow and had a bad feeling about this.

However —

It shouldn’t be what he was thinking. Wu was supposed to be the only one who knew about Feng Wu’s paper. Why should anyone else ask about it?

Bemused, Mr Zuo decided to wait and see how things went.

He tipped Master Bai a wink as they walked.

After all the money the Zuo family had been giving to Master Bai, the latter would be willing to provide him some information.

As expected, Master Bai mouthed a name: Feng Wu.

That confirmed Mr Zuo’s speculation.

It was indeed about Feng Wu!

Luckily, he was prepared and they could look all they wanted!
