Feng Wu nodded and went with Gongsun Qing.
The two of them sat in the pavilion and chatted happily.
However, Feng Wu never let her guard down.
Because she knew that the Gu family would try to set her up with even more tricks.
“You’re doing great. You’re in Year 3 now, so you must be a Spiritual Elder now,” said Gongsun Qing enviously.
Feng Wu didn’t want to reveal her real ability, but Chaoge answered for her.
Chaoge said, “Spiritual Elder? Xiao Wu has been a Spiritual Lord for a very long time! She even defeated Gu Xingyuan, the Level 3 Spiritual Lord!”
The Gongsun family didn’t want to upset Gongsun Qing and had only told her that Feng Wu had entered Year 3, without telling her what Feng Wu’s cultivation level was.
Gongsun Qing’s face went pale for a brief moment.
No one would be happy to hear that they had been surpassed by people who used to be their equal.
Seeing Gongsun Qing’s pale face, Feng Wu looked at Chaoge in resignation.
Chaoge looked innocently at her and didn’t realize what she had done.
Feng Wu didn’t know what to say.
Chaoge was probably the only one who wouldn’t feel upset no matter how fast Feng Wu’s progress was.
Just then, they heard someone talking loudly nearby.
Smack!
There was the sound of someone being slapped, followed by a voice. “You idiot! Do it again, and you won’t get away so easily!”
Gongsun Qing had been trying to find a way out of this embarrassing situation. Hearing the voice, she tugged at Feng Wu. “Let’s go have a look.”
Feng Wu didn’t object.
When they got there, they saw a girl squatting in the bushes and crying as another girl scolded her in a condescending manner.
“Gu Shuyi, she’s your younger sister. Why did you hit her?”
Gongsun Qing seemed to know the Gu family well. She glared at Gu Shuyi and defended the crying girl.
Gu Shuyi was the eighth child of the Gu family, whereas that girl was only the daughter of a concubine. She was known as “Twelve.”
Seeing Gongsun Qing and Feng Wu, Gu Shuyi snorted and grumbled, “It’s my unlucky day!”
Twelve only dared to cry out loud when Gu Shuyi was gone.
Gongsun Qing felt sorry for her and told Feng Wu, “Twelve isn’t the daughter of Lord Gu’s wife. She’s quite timid and is bullied all the time. Look at her clothes. She’s a young lady of the house, but the fabric has all balled up.”
Feng Wu saw that the girl was only eight or nine. On such a cold day, she was only wearing a thin robe. Her hands were red from the cold.
Gongsun Qing told Feng Wu, “They didn’t treat her like this in the beginning. When she was little, a test showed that she was a genius, and she made rapid progress. Everyone said that her future was so promising. In the past few years, however, her cultivation stagnated and her level declined. Right now, she barely has any spiritual essence left, so the Gu family has been ignoring her. Even her maids pick on her. Poor girl.”
“Xiao Wu, that sounds like what you went through!” Chaoge cried out. “You lost your cultivation ability once and started again, didn’t you?”
