Feng Wu beamed as she watched Qiuling run off in excitement.
Things would only get better and better in this house.
Because everyone else was walking away at a fast pace.
The cold wind cleared Feng Wu's head a little. She went back to her desk and picked up the 31st book.
Feng Wu was reading books on astronomy and calendars, which were obscure, boring, and difficult to understand.
But, what could be more obscure, dry, and difficult to understand than Spiritual Arrays? Hadn't she already mastered such difficult knowledge? What was the big deal?
Feng Wu tried to convince herself as she went back to reading.
In one night, Feng Wu had memorized all 60 books. Not only did she understand them, but she also had a thorough understanding of them.
But Chaoge was still snoring away.
Feng Wu rubbed her forehead, feeling a headache coming on. It seemed that she needed to think of something.
The next day.
Feng Wu and Chaoge jumped over the wall into the courtyard next door.
"Miss Wu —"
Steward Fang was already waiting by the wall. He smiled wryly when he saw Feng Wu. "Miss Wu, please go back."
"What?" Feng Wu looked at Steward Fang in bewilderment.
Steward Fang told Feng Wu what had happened with the Yao siblings the day before. He then told Feng Wu, "My master said that we won't be seeing any guests starting yesterday, so —"
Feng Wu and Chaoge exchanged looks. Seriously? The old man had told them to come here yesterday. How could he change his mind so quickly?
"Ahem —"
Grand Secretary Fang was taking a walk after breakfast. Seeing Feng Wu and Chaoge jump off the wall, he headed in their direction.
However, he heard Steward Fang's words as soon as he walked in.
Grand Secretary Fang cleared his throat.
The old steward knew what he meant. He threw a dirty look at Steward Fang. "Miss Feng Wu and Chaoge aren't guests."
Steward Fang was speechless.
Lady Mu and Princess Mu were guests, but Miss Wu and Chaoge weren't?
The Yao siblings had to stay away from the exam this year, but Miss Wu and Chaoge weren't?
That was a very good judge of character.
Steward Fang smiled bitterly inwardly and felt sorry for Princess Mu.
Grand Secretary Fang was very strict.
He stared at Feng Wu and Chaoge.
Grand Secretary Fang's face darkened when he saw how refreshed the two girls were.
"Have you read them all?" The old man's face darkened.
"Yes, I've read them all and can recite them." Feng Wu sounded very confident. "Old Master, shall I put these 60 books back in the stacks?"
"Hold on —" The old man's expression changed as he pointed at the table. "Put them all here."
"Alright …" Feng Wu put all the books on the table.
When stacked together, they were almost as tall as Grand Secretary Fang.
"All of them?" Grand Secretary Fang frowned.
"Yes!" Feng Wu puffed out her chest.
Grand Secretary Fang's frown deepened, and his face darkened.
He could allow others to be stupid and not diligent, but he could not allow others to lie and even refuse to admit it.
Grand Secretary Fang picked up a book from the pile, flipped it open, and read aloud, "Echo each other with the same voice, seek each other with the same spirit … Memorize."
It was so loud that Chaoge almost jumped to her feet in fright.
However, Feng Wu crossed her hands behind her back and stood there proudly. With her head held high, she recited in a clear voice, "When water is wet, fire is dry. Clouds follow the dragon, and the wind follows the tiger. Everything follows its kind …"
Feng Wu recited without stopping and Grand Secretary Fang didn't stop her. Hence, Feng Wu kept reciting page after page …
