Mrs. Gu asked, “About what?”
Lady Northern Feng said, “Do you not know that Feng Wu is first on the billboard now?”
Pffft!
Many people almost choked on their tea.
“First?!” Mrs. Gu cried out. “She can’t be! Gu Xingyuan has always been first.”
The old lady nodded.
Lady Northern Feng said proudly, “That’s past history now. Xiao Wu skipped Year 2 and entered Year 3. Not only that, she’s also ready to enter Year 4 at any time. Isn’t that amazing?”
Mrs. Gu said, “Gu Xingyuan is a Level 3 Spiritual Lord. How can this girl surpa.s.s him?”
A Level 3 Spiritual Lord? Mrs. Dugu and Mrs. Zuo exchanged looks before they sipped their tea quietly.
A Level 3 Spiritual Lord really didn’t mean much.
As far as they knew, Feng Wu had already been a Level 7 Spiritual Lord before she returned to the imperial capital. Mrs. Zuo remembered it clearly because she had seen it in the crystal ball.
Master Zuo went to hunt Feng Wu down, but even he failed to kill her. Mrs. Zuo remembered it with much regret.
However, Mrs. Gu knew nothing of that. She was so proud of Gu Xingyuan and couldn’t accept the fact that Feng Wu had replaced him on the billboard.
“Fetch Xingyuan, and let’s ask him.” Mrs. Gu smiled at Lady Northern Feng.
Lady Northern Feng shrugged.
Chief Zixuan had forbidden everyone from spreading the news. Although no one knew why she had given that order, they had still done as they were told.
Therefore, even Mrs. Gu and the old lady didn’t know what happened.
Soon, Gu Xingyuan and Gu Xingmeng arrived together.
Mrs. Gu held their hands and asked directly, “Xingyuan, I need to ask you something. Tell everyone here what your ranking is in Year 3.”
Gu Xingyuan’s face turned scarlet red when he heard the question.
He looked around and felt even more ashamed when he saw that everyone was looking at him.
He then saw Feng Wu’s eyes.
What a pair of eyes.
She gave a half-smile.
Gu Xingyuan’s first reaction was that Feng Wu was laughing at him.
He pushed Mrs. Gu away and turned to leave.
“Xingyuan? Xingyuan?” Mrs. Gu was perplexed. “What’s going on? Isn’t he first? Why won’t he say anything?”
Gu Xingmeng was speechless. “Mother! Why did you say that?!”
Mrs. Gu said, “I… I just…”
Gu Xingmeng pointed at Feng Wu. “She’s first now! Why did you ask my brother that question in front of so many people?!”
He gave Feng Wu one last ferocious look before leaving the room.
Everyone was speechless.
Mrs. Gu was the most embarra.s.sed of them all. She had been bragging about Gu Xingyuan as she tried to teach Lady Northern Feng how to raise her G.o.ddaughter. As it turned out, Feng Wu was better than her son.
She had no choice but to apologize to Lady Northern Feng. “I didn’t know… Feng Wu is such a genius… She’s the top student in Year 3 already…”
