Feng Wu didn't say anything. She picked up speed, and so did Ning Chenxi.
"Hey, not bad. You're a Level 5 Spiritual Master now," Ning Chenxi complimented her, but Feng Wu ignored him.
Back at the campsite, Qiuling was ready to set off at a moment's notice.
Feng Wu said, "You guys go inside. I'll drive the carriage."
Qiuling couldn't bring herself to do that. "But, Miss —"
Feng Wu shook her head. "We shouldn't stay here for long."
Qiuling nodded. She and Granny Zhao then carried Lady Jun and Uncle Qiu into the carriage.
As soon as Feng Wu raised the whip, the easygoing teenager jumped into the front seat of the carriage and reached out a hand to Feng Wu with a grin. "Little girl, this kind of rough work is blasphemy to you. I'll help you."
Feng Wu couldn't help but glance at him. "Who on earth are you?"
Ning Chenxi's eyes widened. "Have you really never heard of me? It couldn't be, right? I'm Ning Chenxi, and my father is the governor of Anyuan Province. Don't worry. As long as I'm here, you can do whatever you want in Anyuan Province! Hahaha — "
The governor of Anyuan Province could be considered a high-ranking official, for there were only 36 provinces in the Junwu Empire. To be the governor of a province meant that one had to be very capable.
Recalling that she had lost her Level 6 Spiritual Master cultivation, Feng Wu snorted and tossed the whip to Ning Chenxi. "Do it if you like. But there's a wounded man in the carriage. Be careful."
Anyone else would want to pounce on the governor's son, but Feng Wu was able to order him around with ease.
Ning Chenxi had a good background and a good temper. Instead of getting angry at Feng Wu's orders, he was all smiles.
One shouldn't slap a smiling face. The teenager was sunny and warm-hearted. Although he could be a little silly, he was still a man of two minds. Over time, Feng Wu would smile a little and reply to him.
Therefore, when Feng Wu asked him about Anyuan Province, the teenager couldn't wait to tell her everything he knew so that the girl would like him.
Feng Wu asked casually, "Why are you here alone?"
Ning Chenxi said, "It's a long story. My aunt and cousin came back to the imperial capital. My mother and I were going to drive them to the border of Anyuan Province, but I forgot something on the way and had to run back to get it. That's why we were delayed. But don't worry, we'll catch up with them soon."
"Is your aunt from Beijing?"
"Yes, my aunt's family is even more powerful than ours. Do you know the official position of the Minister of Personnel?"
Feng Wu almost rolled her eyes. Did he really think she was an idiot?
"The Minister of the Ministry of Personnel is in charge of the appointment and dismissal, examination, promotion and demotion, transfer, conferment and other affairs of the government officials of the empire. He is the head of the six ministers. Is your aunt's family one of them?"
Ning Chenxi stuck out his chest proudly. "Have you heard of the Grand Council?"
Feng Wu nodded. "Of course. The Grand Council assists His Majesty in government affairs. There are seven Grand Council ministers in total, and all of them are powerful officials. Why? Does it have something to do with your aunt's family?"
"Of course, my uncle's husband is the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel and the Grand Council. Don't you think he's awesome?"
Feng Wu nodded.
