Chapter 2272: His Royal Highness Takes Sides (4)
Lady Gu led the group of people toward Fallen Star Yard without knowing that there was a guest there.
Feng Xun almost tripped on the formation when he jumped over the wall.
"Xiao Wu, why has the formation been activated again? I thought you said that it cost too many spiritual stones."
The higher the level of the formation was, the more spiritual stones it would cost.
Feng Wu was too busy with her work and ignored Feng Xun.
Feng Xun didn"t mind it either. Moving closer, he saw that she was writing inscriptions on the roof tiles. The inscriptions seemed ordinary, but there was something intimidating about them.
"What are you doing?" Feng Xun asked curiously.
"It"s a Ghost Formation." Feng Wu grinned.
"What"s that?" Feng Xun asked curiously.
Feng Wu pointed at the sky. "I thought that the Thunder Formation alone would be enough, but it seems that someone needs to be taught more than a lesson."
Following her finger, Feng Xun finally realized what was wrong.
"Hey, when was this set up? What is it?" Feng Xun patted the pole, making it sway back and forth.
"Stop it! Stop! Help!"
He heard the voice above his head.
What?
At a closer look, Feng Xun noticed the girl. "Is that a person up there? What"s she doing on top of the pole?"
Qiuling almost burst into laughter.
Feng Xun looked at Feng Wu in confusion. "Who"s that girl?"
Feng Wu said, "That"s Feng Qi."
Feng Xun asked, "Who"s that?"
Feng Wu put down her pen and said, "Young Lord Feng, do you realize that I"m writing Level 7 inscriptions?"
Feng Xun rubbed his chin in embarra.s.sment. "Ahem. I"ll stop talking."
"She doesn"t need to be so intimidating," thought Feng Xun.
But he knew how impressive Level 7 inscriptions were. In the entire imperial capital, not many people could do it. If she rose to Level 8, even fewer people would be able to do it.
Feng Xun walked up to Qiuling and asked her what happened.
Qiuling pulled Feng Xun to the side and told him what Feng Qi and her family had done.
Feng Xun"s eyes widened in surprise. He then gave Feng Wu the thumbs up. That was indeed something she would do.
However, those people had tried to marry the beautiful lady off. Did they have a death wish?
"By the way, what are you doing here?" Feng Wu looked up at Feng Xun.
Feng Xun smacked his head. "Gosh, I almost forgot! Wait here!"
He was gone as soon as he finished speaking.
Feng Wu didn"t know what to say.
That was very Feng Xun.
Feng Qi was still shouting in mid-air, but Feng Wu completely ignored her and concentrated on guarding Fallen Star Yard.
In the crown prince"s residence outside the imperial palace.
"Boss Jun, Boss Jun —"
Feng Xun ran into the residence to find the crown prince cultivating on the roof.
He heard Feng Xun but didn"t reply.
Seeing this, Feng Xun didn"t disturb him. He asked Feng instead, "Steward Feng, that Fire Dragon Rod which the western states sent as their yearly tribute; do we still have it?"
All the states and kingdoms would send rare treasures to the imperial capital, and the crown prince was usually the first to see all of them. Only those he didn"t want would go into the imperial vault.
