Chapter 872 - A Kiss!

872 A Kiss! 3
But why did he seem to enjoy it when little Feng Wu yelled at him… Yu Mingye rubbed his chin.

Why are you grinning?
Feng Wu was bewildered and felt Yu Mingye’s forehead for his temperature.
The guy was rubbing his chin and grinning. Was he delirious?
He didn’t have a temperature.
Before Feng Wu knew it, a big hand was on top of hers and Yu Mingye was looking up at her with his brooding eyes. The air felt warm all of a sudden.
Thump!
Feng Wu stomped on Yu Mingye’s foot.

Ouch!
That hurt!
Yu Mingye glared at Feng Wu.
Feng Wu said grumpily,
Have you recovered?


I think so?


Completely?


I… don’t think so.


Then lie down already!


…Alright.

After forcing Yu Mingye to go to bed, Feng Wu sat down against the wall and closed her eyes.
The night ended and the eastern sky began to brighten up.
The candidates started to wake up one after another.
Meanwhile, in Imperial College, many were worried sick.
For they had lost contact with the candidates inside.
Not only wasn’t there a video feed on the screen, even the ranking screen had gone dark.
Only one tenth of all candidates had passed the written exam, and everyone who was still taking part in the physical tryout was from privileged backgrounds. Hence, all their families were concerned about the situation. Parents had gathered outside the college and were asking questions in great agitation.
But no one was able to tell them anything.
For even the heads of Imperial College didn’t know what was going on in the snowfield.
The news got to the Feng clan.
Feng Liu was over the moon when she heard it.

What? Say that again!
Feng Liu stared at Caiyue, her chambermaid.
What did you say?


Miss Liu, all candidates are stuck in Proud Snowfield and have lost contact with people on the outside. No one knows what happened to them!

Lady Wang patted her chest.
Xiao Liu, it’s so lucky that you didn’t get in, or I would be so worried now.


All of them are stuck there, and they could be all dead by now, right?
Feng Liu said.
Such as Feng Wu, Chaoge, and Mu Yaoyao?


That’s right,
said Caiyue.
Many families have gathered outside Imperial College and are asking for an explanation.

Feng Liu was elated.
Has Feng Wu’s family heard about this?


We’ve only just heard the news ourselves. That family has kept pretty much to themselves. I don’t think they’ve been told yet.

Feng Liu and Lady Wang exchanged looks.
They hadn’t? Good.

Let’s go.

Lady Wang and Feng Liu headed for Fallen Star Yard.
Feng Wu feared that her beautiful mother would be harassed after she and Chaoge left for the exam, so she had made arrangements beforehand. Uncle Qiu was to keep the gate shut and try to stay inside for as long as possible.
Knock, knock, knock —
Granny Gui banged on the door.
But no one answered.

Keep knocking!
Lady Wang smirked.
Knock, knock, knock —
Knock, knock, knock —
The door to the yard had been fortified, but the banging still almost shattered it.

Who is it?
Granny Zhao called out from inside, sounding displeased.

Granny Zhao, it’s me. We’ve got news about Miss Wu!
Granny Gui and Lady Wang exchanged looks.
Granny Zhao opened the door immediately at the mention of Feng Wu.
She saw a large group of people outside, led by none other than Lady Wang herself.
