Fan Qi and Ning Rui had been companions for many years and Ning Xin had just died not long ago. Although Ning Xin had revealed that she had plotted to murder Fan Jin before her death, Ning Rui had wisely chosen to sacrifice the rook to save the king. Under such circumstances, Fan Qi felt more guilty than wary of Ning Rui.
Jun Wu Xie had not expected that Fan Qi would die so soon after they had left the Zephyr Academy.
The news, to the Fan brothers, must be a hard truth to accept.
Jun Wu Xie lowered her eyes and was silent a moment before she said: "Do not tell Fan Zhuo about this for now."
"Yes." Ye Sha replied.
When Fan Zhuo came back, Ye Sha had already left. The waiter brought a table full of dishes and Fan Zhuo invited Jun Wu Xie to eat with a smile.
Jun Wu Xie's calm demeanor did not reveal anything. After two mouthfuls, she suddenly put down her chopsticks.
"I need to go back to the Zephyr Academy."
Fan Zhuo looked at Lord Meh Meh lying on the bed and asked uncertainly: "Will Lord Meh Meh be able to travel with its injuries?"
Jun Wu Xie shook her head. "I left something in the little bamboo grove that will be useful for Lord Meh Meh's injuries. It will not be able to move around for now and you will have to stay behind to help me take care of it."
"Me?" Fan Zhuo was surprised.
"Why don't you tell me what it is and I will go get it for you. If you leave and something happens to Lord Meh Meh, I will not be able to handle it. "
"I need to brew some medicine there and it will be useless for you to go. Don't worry, I have stabilized Lord Meh Meh's injuries and I will leave some herbs for it. You will only need to soak it in the medicinal bath three times a day and it will be fine. " Jun Wu Xie paused a moment before she continued: "But remember, you will need to watch over it at all times. If anything happens, send someone to the Zephyr Academy to inform me immediately. Just get the waiter to bring its daily meals to the room."
Fan Zhuo nodded, not thinking much of it.
"Alright then, I will do as you say."
Jun Wu Xie continued to eat, hiding the strange look in her eyes.
She did not intend to let Fan Zhuo know about Fan Qi's death now. Although Fan Zhuo was highly intelligent and quick-witted, but Fan Qi meant a lot to him. He had been willing to sacrifice his own life to protect the Fan Family's father and son. If he knew that Fan Qi had died, he would definitely rush back to the Zephyr Academy immediately.
The situation within the Zephyr Academy was still unclear and with Fan Qi's death, the Vice Headmaster Ning Rui's position within the Zephyr Academy had been elevated to the highest. If Fan Zhuo were to return to the Zephyr Academy at that moment, Ning Rui would definitely think of ways to harm him. Fan Zhuo in his impetuous state, would not be able to handle it, Jun Xie could not be certain.
Since that was the case, she might as well go back to the Zephyr Academy to check things out first.
Jun Xie had kept Lord Meh Meh's injuries a secret from Fan Zhuo. In actual fact, Lord Meh Meh only needed to recuperate for another two days before it could continue on its journey. But Jun Xie needed to find a reason to keep Fan Zhuo in Chan Lin Town, and Lord Meh Meh's injuries were the best reason.
Not allowing him to leave the room and guarding him day and night was also because he was afraid that he would hear the news of Fan Qi's death from someone else.
Sitting opposite Jun Xie, Fan Zhuo would never have thought that at that moment, his adoptive father had already left this world forever.
Three days later, Jun Xie bade farewell to Fan Zhuo and Lord Meh Meh, and climbed into the horse carriage to head towards the Zephyr Academy.
"Ning Rui, I would really like to see to what extent you have tormented the Zephyr Academy." Jun Wu Xie sat within the horse carriage, her eyes narrowed.
