Apparently, a lot of people were thinking the same thing. What about Feng Wu? What was she doing at the moment? She had used up all her energy the night before to master a single stance, Flying Dragon! She was completely drained and utterly exhausted.
Feng Wu had thought several times that she was going to die. She couldn't even lift a finger... But whenever she felt that way, a generous amount of spiritual essence would flow through her veins.
The morning sun shone through the window onto Feng Wu's translucent skin, casting little shadows under her eyes. Her long, thick eyelashes flickered, which reminded one of raindrops falling on butterfly wings, creating tiny ripples. Feng Wu opened her eyes slightly, her mind virtually blank at that moment. Soon, she came back to herself and bolted upright!
"Xiao Wu, you're awake!" Both Chaoge and Qiuling were thrilled.
Feng Xun was the most excited of them all! He had been pacing around the room in circles, checking the time. Now that Feng Wu had woken up, he was over the moon! Rushing over, he took Feng Wu's hand. "Xiao Wu, you're really awake! How do you feel? Are you feeling alright?" Feng Xun put a hand on Feng Wu's forehead to check her temperature.
After all, Feng Wu had looked like a broken china doll the night before. She had been covered in blood, as if every bone in her body was broken. It had been the most wretched sight. However, Feng Wu's eyes were clear and bright, and her cheeks were flushed prettily.
There was only one question that Feng Wu wanted to ask. "What time is it now?"
Qiuling told her the time.
Feng Wu paused for a minute, then realized what was going on. Wasn't that the time... "My duel!" Crying out, Feng Wu jumped out of bed, grabbed a robe, then rushed out the door!
"Xiao Wu." That was the only thing Feng Xun could utter before Feng Wu was out of sight! Feng Xun was distraught. Exchanging looks with Xuan Yi, he said, "Hurry up! Let's go!"
Feng Wu ran as fast as she could, but her legs could only take her so far. Little Phoenix also wasn't big enough to be her mount.
Feng Xun caught up to her from behind and gave her a hand. "Get up here!"
Seeing that she was running out of time, Feng Wu didn't have time to think. Taking Feng Xun's hand, she used the momentum to jump onto his horse.
"Hyah." The white horse galloped forward!
Meanwhile, in Imperial College
It was almost the designated time, but Feng Wu was still nowhere to be seen! Everyone in the audience was talking.
"Is Feng Wu too afraid to come?"
"If she knew that she was going to lose, why did she sound so confident in the first place?"
"Well, what a waste of time! The entire Year 1 was given half a day off for this. All the things we could have done with that much time!"
"It wouldn't be such a big deal if Feng Wu lost today, but just deciding not to show up like this... what a shame."
"Fine, then. We'll just leave."
"That's right. We should go..."
The crowd began to disperse.
In her VIP seat, the empress dowager already looked furious! Suddenly, she got to her feet.
"Your Majesty..." The empress dowager glared at Lady Northern Feng before the latter could say another word.
Seeing this, Empress Dugu hurried over and offered her hand to the empress dowager.
