Feng Wu stormed out after that. She had to see Mr. Lu now.
Seeing Feng Wu leave, the other elders were a little worried about her. Elder Yan smiled wryly, thinking that Feng Wu was the same as Yan Han. He thought they were both spoiled and willful kids.
"Mr. Lu doesn't exactly have a good temper," Elder Wu told Elder Helian. "We don't want her to offend him."
Elder Mo said, "I'm very angry about what happened. They keep telling us to see the big picture, but the Military Academy never gave us any support when we needed essence crystals."
Elder Yan sighed. "I don't think Mr. Lu will let Xiao Wu see him."
With Emperor Wu's token, of course, Feng Wu could see Mr. Lu. She was stopped at the front gate at first, but when she showed them the token, no one tried to stop her again.
It was a courtyard at the center of the fortress. The gate was guarded, but no one dared to stop the angry girl with the emperor's token. Mr. Lu was playing chess in the courtyard. It wasn't just him. A man sat opposite him. His opponent was also an elderly man. That man had a tough look and was obviously from the military.
Seeing Feng Wu charge toward him, Mr. Lu smiled bitterly. Elder Helian had mentioned it before, so he knew why Feng Wu was here. "Xiao Wu, I didn't expect to see you here." Mr. Lu waved at Feng Wu. Feng Wu wanted to speak, but Mr. Lu said mildly, "Take a seat and watch us play."
Just like Jun Linyuan, Mr. Lu was a capable Spiritual Saint. Feng Wu didn't know his exact level, but he was indeed a Spiritual Saint, and there were only a handful of them in the entire imperial capital. She was furious, but with Mr. Lu's intervention, she couldn't lash out. Without any other choice, she could only sit on a chair, rest her chin on her hands, and glare at Mr. Lu.
The person opposite Mr. Lu was none other than Mr. Xu, the schoolmaster of the Military Academy. Mr. Xu concentrated on the chessboard and acted as if Feng Wu wasn't there. To him, she was only one of the insignificant students of Imperial College. A colonel? A senior member like him was several ranks higher than a colonel. He didn't think Feng Wu mattered at all. Therefore, he didn't so much as glance at her.
Feng Wu looked from Mr. Lu to Mr. Xu. She was furious when she arrived, but after sitting down, she calmed down a little. She realized that Mr. Lu must have agreed to give half of the liquid to Mr. Xu because the latter had offered something to Mr. Lu or Imperial College in return. However, they were still messing with her things without her permission.
Feng Wu couldn't stand it. She didn't know much about Mr. Xu, but had heard that he was a rigid and strict military man who had incredible physical strength. More importantly, he had been the head of Emperor Wu's imperial guards before he was appointed as head of the Military Academy.
Feng Wu rubbed her chin as her brain raced. If she rushed to take action, she wouldn't gain anything and would only become more frustrated. Her gaze slowly moved to the chessboard. Her chess skills...
