The Charm of a Powerful Woman Spreads Across the World - Chapter 40
“But he comes from a military family, so it seems he won’t become a civil official,” He Kun sighed.
Volume 1: The Young Man's Unfamiliarity with Love, Chapter 58: Closing Ceremony
Ru Feng carried the medicine bag and ran all the way. It is said that ever since she mastered the lightness skill, she often refused to walk properly and insisted on using the lightness skill. This was more convenient than a carriage. It was worth it when her master almost threw her out and gave her a heart attack.
Upon returning to Yun Tianze's room, Ru Feng handed the medicine packet to Xiao Qing and explained in detail how to decoct the medicine. Then, Ru Feng lay down on Yu Jue's bed and chuckled to herself.
Yujue and Yuxuan had a lot of questions, and seeing Rufeng like this made them even more curious.
"Hey shorty, tell me, what are you secretly enjoying all by yourself?" Yu Xuan walked over and grabbed Ru Feng's collar.
Ru Feng continued to chuckle, pounding the pillow.
Yu Xuan was displeased. With a forceful pull, the collar of Ru Feng's clothes slipped down, revealing a small section of her fair neck and back, even though she was wearing a white undergarment.
Before Ru Feng could react, Yu Xuan and the others were stunned. Her neck looked smooth and fair, unlike any other skin tone a man could have, even surpassing Yun Tianze's.
Yu Xuan's heart skipped a beat, but his hand involuntarily reached out and touched that neck.
Ru Feng cried out "Ah!" and turned to look angrily at Yu Xuan: "What are you doing? You're molesting me!"
Unlike usual, Yu Xuan didn't argue. He simply stood up, cleared his throat, and said, "What did the headmaster say to you just now? You don't look well." But he felt uneasy. Ru Feng's skin felt better than most women's just now. No wonder his brother was so interested in Ru Feng.
Ru Feng sat up, straightened his collar, and made a face at Yu Xuan: "It seems you're the one among us with homosexual tendencies, even taking advantage of me."
Yu Jue stared at Ru Feng's Adam's apple bobbing up and down for a long time, his eyes darkening.
Although Yun Tianze was lying on the bed far away from Ru Feng and didn't understand what Yu Xuan had done, he could still guess the general idea from what Ru Feng said and what Ru Feng did.
So he came to the rescue, saying, "Ru Feng, speak up, they're still waiting for your answer."
As soon as Ru Feng thought about that matter, she said with a headache, "Headmaster, he said he wants to be my older brother?"
"What?!" Yu Jue and Yu Xuan exclaimed in unison.
Ru Feng was startled and jumped a few steps away from them, surprised: "Why are you so surprised?"
Yujue and Yuxuan exchanged a glance, and Yuxuan quickly whispered, "We were just surprised. So, have you agreed?"
Upon hearing Yu Xuan's words, Yu Jue and Yun Tianze, who were still pondering, both looked at Ru Feng.
Ru Feng said naturally, "I didn't agree. The headmaster didn't even tell me anything about his background. Although I don't have anything that would make people want me, I can't just take a brother back to me, lest Grandpa doesn't forgive me later."
Yujue and Yuxuan breathed a sigh of relief.
Yu Jue said, "If you don't want to agree, then don't. Aren't the two of us enough for you? Xiao San and I are both your brothers." As he said this, he smiled bitterly to himself. He wasn't satisfied with just being an "older brother"! But what could he do? Ru Feng was still so young, and he... Sigh, it was all a mess. For now, he could only be Ru Feng's older brother and figure out the rest later.
Yun Tianze quickly added, "That's right, as long as Ru Feng has us, it doesn't matter whether he's the older brother or not."
Ru Feng nodded naturally and asked with a smile, "Does anyone know the background of the headmaster? When I asked others, they only knew that the headmaster was very accomplished in literature and seemed to have some wealth, but they didn't know anything more."
Yu Jue walked over, ruffled the hair that hung down his back like the wind, and said, "The headmaster's background is mysterious, and few people know about his family background, so it's pointless for you to ask. Anyway, you know he won't do anything to you, so just mind your own business."
Ru Feng pouted and looked at Yu Xuan, who was always well-informed: "What about Brother Xuan? Doesn't he know either?"
Yu Xuan was a little confused, but he reacted quickly: "Ru Feng only calls me 'Brother Xuan' when he needs something from me. Otherwise, he just calls me 'Hey, hey, hey' randomly."
"So do you know or not?" Ru Feng was getting impatient, changing the subject—something was fishy!
"I wouldn't tell you even if I knew. Let's go, it's getting dark, let's hurry up and have our meal." Yu Xuan grabbed Ru Feng's arm and tried to leave.
Yun Tianze said, "Ru Feng, you still haven't told me why you were laughing just now."
Upon hearing this, Ru Feng quickly pulled away from Yu Xuan's hand and laughed, "Do you know what I heard when I came back?"
Seeing that the three of them were clueless, Ru Feng became even more smug: "Hehe, do you know? The four of us are famous now, known as the 'Four Great Talents,' and the deputy headmaster is extremely proud of himself."
Upon hearing this, the three remained composed. However, Ru Feng was dissatisfied and said, "Don't you all find it incredible that I was selected? With my level, you call me a 'talented scholar'? It's utterly shameful." Ru Feng didn't say it aloud, but it seemed that he was the top of the Four Great Talents, presumably because he knew martial arts and was also the head of Fengxian Academy.
Yu Jue smiled slightly: "Why be modest, Ru Feng? Your talent is obvious to all, how can you say that you are not good enough? You know you were very impressive yesterday."
Ru Feng frowned: "Anyway, I just feel that the reputation is a bit undeserved, but oh well, it's good to have a false reputation, hehe, I'll walk with a breeze from now on." Ru Feng smiled at the thought. Even if it's not his real talent, so what? It's still something in his head.
Seeing that Ru Feng was happy, Yu Xuan was also happy and quickly said, "Then shall we go and eat?"
Ru Feng ran over, grabbed Yun Tianze's hand, and said very seriously, "Tianze, I almost forgot about this. I'm giving you a serious warning: don't be so reckless as to try to block the ball for me next time. You know your body can't take any more strain. Unlike me, I'm thick-skinned and can withstand a hundred balls thrown at me without any problem. You don't know how scared we were when you coughed up blood."
Yun Tianze was initially a little unhappy, but seeing the seriousness in Ru Feng's eyes and seeing him holding his hand, he couldn't help but nod and say, "I understand. I was just in a hurry at the time and forgot that Ru Feng knows martial arts."
Ru Feng nodded in satisfaction. If it happened again, Xiao Qing would definitely tear him apart.
Yu Jue strode over, took Ru Feng's hand, and said, "Let's go eat together, and then bring the food back to Tian Ze."
So the three of them left together.
Yun Tianze lay on the bed watching their figures side by side, looking down at his hands, an unfathomable emotion flashing in his eyes.
...
The next morning was the closing ceremony of the sports meet. This closing ceremony was for awarding medals and such. All the individuals who made it into the top three in this sports meet went on stage to receive commendation from the governor of Xiangzhou City, so it was also a chance to show their faces.
However, the people at Lorraine Academy were very unhappy, which could be seen from the overall atmosphere they exuded.
On the other hand, the people from Luolin Academy and Fengxian Academy were overjoyed. He Kun and the others remained outwardly calm, but inwardly they were ecstatic. It seemed that this time no one would argue that Fengxian Academy was the best academy.
The Yuchi family, who also received the news, had mixed feelings. The mixed feelings referred to Yuchi Huaiyang. Yuchi Song was naturally happy, but Yuchi Huaiyang, being a military officer, naturally wanted Luolin Academy to succeed. However, Ru Feng was at Fengxian Academy, and it was Ru Feng who was organizing the sports meet, so his feelings were complicated.
In addition, at the closing ceremony, the imperial court issued an imperial edict, which essentially said that the sports meet in Xiangzhou City was well organized and produced so many talented people, and that more such events should be held in the future. The edict also included some rewards, which made the fat governor very happy. He talked for half an hour without stopping.
