Chapter 104: Just Keep Pretending
Without waiting for Feng Wu to respond, Old Man Ba impatiently spoke. âHurry hurry, a few days ago, I encountered a knotty problem, if you still havenât come, this old man wouldâve gone to your house to find you, come come comeâââ
Who knew? This old fellow, whose impressive fame very few can compare with in the entire Martial Lord Empire, actually displayed an attitude of asking for guidance in Feng Wuâs presence.
Feng Wu was going to use Old Man Baâs pill refining room, so she gladly agreed.
Just as the two people were going to go indoors, suddenly, a burst of footsteps transmitted from the outside.
There wasnât anyone else at Old Man Baâs home. There was only an old butler who took care of his everyday needs.
The old butler came in to report. âThe City Lordâs coming, Master please lookâââ
Feng Wuâs eyes constricted slightly, City Lord Bi?
Old Man Baâs brows knitted as he spewed. âThis City Lord is so annoying, he runs to my place practically everyday, each time without any real business to speak of. Tell me, isnât he just holding up my work? Whatâs wrong with just letting me do a bit of work?â
Feng Wu covered her mouth and smiled ironically. Such an old kid, really an old kid, Senior Ba was truly sometimes just like a kid.
City Lord Bi was the city lord of Northern Territory City. In other peopleâs eyes, how high was the city lordâs status, what kind of honor was it for him to pay a personal visit? Yet Old Man Ba avoided him to no end.
Feng Wu smilingly said. âCity Lord Bi probably came because of his sonâs illness, right?â
Old Man Ba shot a glance at Feng Wu. âTell me, this child, arenât you just too wicked.â
Feng Wuâs eyebrows raised. âIâm a law abiding, gentle and soft, good and honest, naive and guiltless good girl. Elder Ba, you shouldnât slander me.â
Elder Ba shot a glance at Feng Wu in a displeased manner. âYour face is that of a naive, innocent, harmless, gentle and adorable little girl. If anyone truly believes in this face of yours, they wonât know theyâve been tricked to death by you even till the end. Girl, no one can be more devious, more cunning than you.â
Feng Wu placed her hands on her hips, unable to accept this. âNo way!â
âNo way? Why donât you check your conscience before speaking. That son from the Bi family actually wasnât born so retarded. How did he become so retarded later on? Do you dare to claim that it has nothing to do with you?â Old Man Ba continued unhappily. âThat boy was ****obsessed. He had the cheek to make plans against you. To be taught a lesson by you was understandable, however, it isnât as if there arenât capable people in the empire. There are actually two or three people whoâre ranked a level higher than me in terms of pill refining. Do you dare to guarantee that City Lord Bi wonât ever beg for their help?â
A chilly glint appeared within Feng Wuâs pupils.
Five years ago, they were thrown out to Northern Territory City, a family of three consisting of only women and children. One was a woman known to be an unmatched beauty in Martial Lord Empire, her beautiful mother; she, whose cultivation was crippled; and her simple, harmless younger brotherâŠâŠthree words were branded on all three of their foreheads: âEasy to bullyâ.
At that time, Bi Liang Dong appeared and made both promises and threats against Feng Wu. His methods were cruel and merciless, simply making her wish she could choke him to death.
Thatâs why Feng Wu secretly made her move, turning Bi Liang Dong into an idiot.
Itâs just that this matterâŠâŠbesides Feng Wu, no one else knew about it. Even Old Man Ba was only guessing, thatâs all.
If City Lord Bi knew that the main culprit who caused his son to become retarded wasâŠâŠ
Feng Wuâs whole face radiated naivety and innocence. âEven if City Lord Bi found his way to them for help, so what? It still has nothing to do with me.â
âJust keep pretending.â Old Man Ba shot a displeased glance at Feng Wu.
âMasterâŠâŠâ The old butler was standing by his side reminding him.
Old Man Ba waved his hand unhappily. âSince he wants to wait, just let him wait outside. Just tell him that your master, I, am refining pills. No one is allowed to disturb me!â
