The Charm of a Powerful Woman Spreads Across the World

Chapter 42

Ru Feng thought for a moment and asked, "Yu Xuan, what are you doing? Aren't you going to paint?" Yu Xuan had been running around a lot lately, and when Ru Feng asked, he would say he was going out to paint. But Ru Feng never saw his paintings because he had thrown away all the ones he wasn't satisfied with.

Yu Xuan didn't answer. After writing furiously for a while, he nodded, went out, and returned not long after. Seeing Ru Feng staring at him with wide eyes, he smiled and said, "Didn't you go to see your headmaster today?"

Ignoring his sarcasm, Ru Feng asked, "Why is there a trap on the path leading to the headmaster's house? I can't get in."

"That's nothing unusual. The headmaster set up the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams there to prevent others from disturbing us," Yu Xuan replied casually, pouring himself a glass of water.

Ru Feng thought for a while and nodded: "That makes sense. The headmaster is so handsome, what if someone tries to rape him?"

Yu Xuan almost spat out his water: "Someone would try to rob him of his virtue? Who would have such a big guts? You should worry about yourself!" As he spoke, he glanced at Ru Feng's figure.

Ru Feng puffed out his chest and said, "I can protect myself. I'm only afraid that you'll turn into a wolf at night and unleash your beastly nature while I'm asleep. I'm not afraid of anything else!" Seeing Yu Xuan glaring at him, Ru Feng chuckled.

Yu Xuan looked at Ru Feng with disdain: "Do you have that girl's soft body? Do you have her gentle heart? If you don't have either, why would I possibly touch you?"

Ru Feng didn't argue, but suddenly said mysteriously, "Yu Xuan, have you noticed anything strange about our academy lately? It seems like a lot of people are flying around at night, making so much noise I can barely sleep." Actually, Ru Feng was always a heavy sleeper; once she fell asleep, it was hard for her to wake up. Because of her high martial arts skills, she was easily startled awake by any unusual noises. This was a skill she had developed as a child under the tutelage of the Ruthless Sword, allowing her to protect herself even while asleep. For this, Ru Feng suffered from extremely poor sleep quality for two years, almost driving her insane.

Yu Xuan stopped drinking water, walked over and sat down next to Ru Feng, and said very seriously, "Ru Feng, this has nothing to do with you. Don't get involved tonight. Just get some sleep and act like nothing happened."

Ru Feng pouted: "But I already know, and I don't know what's going on. I've never had a moment's peace since I entered the academy."

"Just remember what I just said. This has nothing to do with you, so don't be curious." He knew Ru Feng's personality; he loved watching the drama unfold, which was why he warned him.

Yu Xuan looked serious, and Ru Feng didn't dare to be careless. Knowing that there were things she shouldn't know, she shouldn't get involved, so she quickly nodded and said, "Don't worry, I won't."

Yu Xuan nodded and said with a smile, "Shorty, it's time to go have dinner. Let's go."

Ru Feng then realized it was already evening and said dejectedly, "The day has passed so quickly. I'll go check on Tian Ze." Ever since Yun Tian Ze blocked a ball for her, Ru Feng and Yun Tian Ze's relationship had become even closer, seemingly surpassing the friendship between Yu Jue and Yu Xuan.

So Yu Xuan was very jealous: "Hmph, you're always thinking about Yun Tianze, why don't you just move in with him?"

Ru Feng nodded seriously: "I want to too, but Xiao Qing won't let me. These past few days he's stayed at the academy to take care of Tian Ze and won't even let me touch him. He's really protective of his master."

"You heartless ingrate, you just want to abandon me and my brother like this? Back then, my brother and I even fought alongside you." Yu Xuan tapped Ru Feng's head.

Ru Feng dodged to the side and said, "Don't imitate Brother Jue's actions. By the way, how should we punish that damned Bai Shaojun? How dare he plot against me!" Ru Feng raised his fist and said in a deliberately fierce manner.

As soon as Ru Feng finished speaking, she left the room and saw Bai Shaojun also walking out of the room. Their eyes met in mid-air, their gazes crackling loudly.

Yu Xuan casually draped his arm over Ru Feng's back and laughed, "Let's go!"

Seeing Bai Shaojun glaring at her, Ru Feng smiled and looked away, but her fists clenched involuntarily. Now she regretted being the head of the academy; she couldn't even openly show her dislike for someone, lest it be detrimental to her. But then she thought, if she weren't the head of the academy, she wouldn't dare to get close to Mu Wenchen now. Alas, there are always gains and losses.

When they arrived at Yun Tianze's room, Yu Jue was also writing something. When he saw Ru Feng arrive, he said, "It's good that you're here. Let's go eat together."

Ru Feng nodded, strode over, sat down on the stool by the bed, and looked at Yun Tianze: "Are you feeling better?"

Yun Tianze nodded: "Much better, but it's boring to stay in bed all day."

Ru Feng looked at Yun Tianze's fair lips, thought for a moment, and said, "After we finish eating, I'll take you out for a walk."

Xiaoqing, who was standing nearby, exclaimed, "Won't this be bad?"

Ru Feng rolled her eyes and replied, "I'll go ask that old doctor later." She couldn't help but sigh inwardly; Yun Tianze's body was really weak. It was just a ball, okay, even if that ball used internal force, his body was still too fragile. However, Ru Feng was even more moved. This guy, with such a frail body, was willing to shield her from the ball. She secretly resolved to treat Yun Tianze better from now on.

Yun Tianze looked at Ru Feng's pensive face with a smile, while Yu Jue beside him quickly said, "Ru Feng, it's time to go."

Ru Feng then realized what was happening and left with Yu Jue and Yu Xuan.

Yu Jue was preoccupied the whole way, Yu Xuan frowned in thought, and Ru Feng didn't want to disturb them, so she just glanced around casually, thinking of Mu Wenchen, and decided to go and see him again tomorrow, maybe he went out today.

While getting food, Ru Feng chatted with Aunt Lan for a bit. Seeing that she seemed sleep-deprived, he casually remarked, "Sister, you must have been out thieving last night. You have dark circles under your eyes. Be careful, or you'll get wrinkles!"

Aunt Lan raised her spoon, ready to slap Ru Feng: "You little brat, how dare you curse me with wrinkles?"

Ru Feng chuckled and pointed at Yu Jue behind him: "Go ahead and hit him, then use this spoon to serve food to Brother Jue. I have absolutely no objection."

Yu Jue looked at Aunt Lan carefully for a while before saying, "Ru Feng is talking nonsense. You are still young."

These words made Aunt Lan beam with joy again.

Yu Xuan rolled her eyes inwardly. When did her brother learn Ru Feng's glib tongue? He really is influenced by his surroundings. But looking at Yu Jue and Ru Feng standing together, she felt uncomfortable. She was afraid that her brother really had that kind of... that kind of fetish? Thinking of this, worry settled in her heart again.

While eating, Ru Feng was thinking about how to get revenge on Bai Shaojun without letting anyone know that she was the one who did it. So she didn't even notice when Yu Xuan put the green pepper in her bowl. Yu Jue wanted to stop her, but Yu Xuan stopped him. It wasn't until Ru Feng felt the spiciness in her mouth that she came back to her senses, and another round of noise ensued. She had completely forgotten what she was thinking.

After finishing their meal, Ru Feng went to the clinic and, on his way back, helped Yun Tianze walk around in the courtyard.

As the sun sets, it may not be as vibrant as in the morning, but it still offers a unique and beautiful scene, and the cool breeze dispels the daytime heat.

Yun Tianze, wearing a dark blue cloak, leaned against Ru Feng and looked at the doorway, saying, "Let's go for a walk in the academy; there's nothing interesting here."

Ru Feng looked at his pale face with concern: "Are you okay?"

"Yes, that's fine." Yun Tianze was somewhat intoxicated by the fragrance emanating from Ru Feng's hair.

So the two of them slowly walked out of the door. Xiaoqing didn't follow. Since it was night, Xiaoqing went down the mountain and could only come back up during the day.

Yu Jue stood in the room, watching their backs, his lips pressed tightly together. After a while, he punched the wall.

Yu Xuan emerged from the shadows, his expression shifting between light and shadow. "Brother, are you really that kind of person? Ru Feng... Ru Feng... how am I supposed to deal with you?"

...

Ru Feng and Yun Tianze wandered around the academy, chatting idly along the way, quite at ease.

As night fell and darkness approached, Ru Feng said softly, "Let's go, lest it get too dark and we can't see the road."

Yun Tianze, supporting Ru Feng's arm, responded softly.
