If Feng Wu were an elderly Semi-divine medicine refiner, Zhu Hongyu would worship her as if she were an immortal being. He would probably kneel at her feet. However, Feng Wu was only a teenager. Zhu Hongyu couldn't help but see her as an ordinary girl and forget who she really was. He had no choice but to fight back his frustration.
Before long, Elder Helian came back to Feng Wu, holding some paperwork. He said excitedly, "Xiao Wu, look!"
Feng Wu spotted it right away, but when she saw how thrilled Elder Helian was, she snapped at him. "Have you sealed the deal?"
"Yes! It's done! Mine No. 3 is ours!" said Elder Helian. "I know it's the worst of the four mines, but..."
Feng Wu asked, "What? You accepted the worst mine?"
Elder Helian said, "Well..."
Feng Wu checked the paperwork and saw that the mine really was the worst one. She rolled her eyes at Elder Helian. She said, "I see money indeed means very little to you."
Elder Helian blushed, but he hadn't been able to bring himself to ask for more. He felt they didn't deserve that mine because he felt that Feng Wu had inflicted that wound on Dongfang.
Feng Wu said, "You can forget your guilt. Do you see Dongfang's symptoms? Does she look like she's been poisoned?"
"Yes, she does!" Elder Helian nodded.
Feng Wu said, "That sword belongs to Dongfang Ziyun herself."
That meant...
"What?!" Elder Helian cried out. "She put poison on her blade! She wanted to kill you!"
Feng Wu nodded. "It doesn't take much for a Supreme Level medicine refiner to neutralize the poison."
Elder Helian lost his temper. "She tried to poison you, and you're still helping her? D*mn it! If I had known, I would never have let her off the hook so easily!"
Feng Wu rolled her eyes at him again. "It's not over yet. After she recovers, she'll try her best to kill me."
Elder Helian said, "She wouldn't dare!"
Feng Wu said, "She'll never stop trying until she's dead. Ask Elder Dongfang. She'll tell you what her niece is like."
Elder Helian looked at Elder Dongfang. Elder Dongfang acted as if she didn't know anything. Elder Helian bellowed, "If she's like that, we don't need to help her at all!"
Feng Wu said, "We need the mine, don't we? Don't worry. If she attacks me again, I'll beat her until she's barely alive, and we'll have another mine. She'll be like our renewable energy source."
Elder Helian immediately calmed down. He almost felt sorry for Elder Dongfang.
Elder Dongfang's face darkened. Her cold glare landed on Feng Wu. She could hear the treat in Feng Wu's tone. If Dongfang Ziyun offended Feng Wu again, Feng Wu would definitely carry out her word. How frustrating!
Feng Wu reminded Elder Helian, "There's no time to get angry now. You should start working now."
Elder Helian carefully rolled up the paper and put it in his sleeve. "What work?"
Feng Wu sighed. "Don't you realize Lord Dai has slipped away? Where do you think he's going?"
Where did he go?
