The Charm of a Powerful Woman Spreads Across the World

Chapter 69

When they were almost finished eating, Mu Wenchen suddenly said, "Rufeng, sleep well tonight and don't be too curious about some things."

Ru Feng remained silent, glancing at Mu Wenchen. Instinctively, she trusted him, but should she tell him about this? Looking into his deep eyes and handsome face, Ru Feng finally made up her mind.

"Wen Chen, is it about some kind of treasure?"

Mu Wenchen and Mu Tong were startled, looking at Ru Feng's seemingly unaffected face.

Ru Feng smiled bitterly: "Isn't that right?"

After a long pause, Mu Wenchen finally said, "Did General Yuchi tell you?"

Ru Feng nodded.

Mu Wenchen remained silent for a while before saying, "No matter what, you should stay out of this. It's not good to get involved."

Ru Feng did not nod, because her grandfather wanted her to protect Yu Xuan and Yu Jue, so she would still help them if they were in danger.

"Wenchen, do you think that so-called treasure is really that important? Is it worth so many people fighting over it?" Rufeng recalled the noises on the roof at night, and the bloodstains she often found in a corner of the academy. Once, when Rufeng was lying on the grass sunbathing, she even saw a severed finger and an eyeball. She almost vomited bile at that moment. From then on, she would never linger in any corner of the academy or on any grass.

Mu Wenchen said with a sullen face, "There will always be many greedy people in this world. It's normal that they will stop at nothing to snatch such legendary treasures."

Ru Feng shook his head, then couldn't help but ask worriedly, "Wen Chen, aren't you in a lot of danger?" After all, this was his territory, so when others wanted to find treasure, they would usually think of this place. Thinking of this, Ru Feng couldn't help but look around, feeling that someone might jump out of the woods or bushes at any moment.

Mu Wenchen looked at Ru Feng and said, "Don't worry, I'm fine. It's been so long, if something had happened, it would have happened long ago. What I'm afraid of now is that this treasure will cause a war."

Ru Feng was surprised and couldn't understand why Mu Wenchen was talking to her about such profound topics.

But Mu Wenchen continued, "Ru Feng, if there were a war, would you go to fight?"

Ru Feng lowered his head and said without hesitation, "Of course I'll go. Even if I don't want to go, my grandfather won't agree." In fact, Yu Chi Huaiyang wanted Ru Feng to drop out of school and go to the army camp to train. He always felt that Ru Feng was not like a man and did not have the spirit of a man, so he always wanted to send Ru Feng to the battlefield to train him.

Of course, Ru Feng secretly thought that if he really possessed the kind of masculine spirit his grandfather spoke of, then his parents would have something to worry about.

Mu Wenchen sprang up, put a chicken leg into Rufeng's bowl, and said, "Go then. A man who hasn't been tempered on the battlefield isn't a real man. It's good that you're going, but I'm afraid you can't handle the bloodshed."

Ru Feng looked at the chicken leg in the bowl with delight, suppressing the urge to drool. Just now, Mu Tong kept staring at that chicken leg, making her afraid to even look at it. She never expected that Mu Wenchen would put it on her plate. Hehe, Mu Wenchen is really the one in her heart, he understands her feelings so well.

Thinking of this, Ru Feng gave Mu Tong a provocative look, which made the veins on Mu Tong's hand holding the chopsticks bulge.

Mu Wenchen saw all of this, but simply shook his head, a captivating smile in his eyes.

Ru Feng snapped out of her daze and suddenly asked, "Could it be that Wen Chen also went to war before?"

This time, Mu Wenchen didn't respond. Mu Tong said loudly, "Of course, back then, our master led the troops to..." His eyes were filled with excitement.

"Mu Tong!" Mu Wenchen called his name softly, and Mu Tong immediately wilted like a sauerkraut, whispering, "...Falling flowers and flowing water."

Ru Feng glanced at Mu Wenchen with a mournful expression: "Why didn't you let him continue? It's not like it's anything shameful."

Mu Wenchen smiled faintly and remained silent, while Ru Feng was stunned, forgetting what she was going to ask, and just stared blankly at Mu Wenchen.

Ru Feng snapped out of her daze, embarrassedly touching her eyes. It was true, she'd been seduced, and she'd fallen for it so easily. Honestly, how come people who rarely smile look so beautiful when they do? She herself smiled often, and her smile was beautiful too, but because she smiled so often, everyone took it for granted, and it lost its appeal. Sigh, if only she had pretended to be an iceberg before, maybe she could have seduced Mu Wenchen and made him fall in love with her, to the point that he wouldn't mind even if she were a woman. That way, she could have changed his sexual orientation.

As Ru Feng thought this, he couldn't help but chuckle.

Mu Wenchen shook his head, knowing that Ru Feng had wandered off into his thoughts again. Sigh, this little guy is still so young. If only he were older and more mature, then he could…

Ru Feng snapped out of her reverie and said, "Wen Chen, let me ask you a question. If I were a woman, would you not have tried to persuade me to go to the battlefield?" Her words interrupted Mu Wen Chen's thoughts.

Mu Wenchen looked at Ru Feng's face and said, "If you were a woman, I would hide you away."

Ru Feng's face flushed red, and she quickly lowered her head. In her eyes, Mu Wenchen's words were like sweet nothings, and she really wished she could tell him right now that she was a woman.

For the first time, Ru Feng felt a strong sense of female self-awareness.

Mu Wenchen then said, "It's a pity you're not one, so there's no 'what if'." Looking at Ru Feng's lowered head, Mu Wenchen's eyes flickered, and he said, "Ru Feng, you'd better not go to the battlefield."

Ru Feng finally managed to suppress the strange feeling from earlier, and upon hearing this, asked, "Is this up to me? It depends on my grandfather." Her grandfather was a ruthless man, and Ru Feng rarely had a say at home. Sigh, Ru Feng sighed inwardly again.

The meal lasted a long time, and Ru Feng was finally satisfied and prepared to take his leave.

Mu Wenchen thought for a moment and said, "I'll see you out."

"Great!" Ru Feng was delighted and quickly took Mu Wenchen's hand.

Mu Tong watched from behind, his lips twitching. He stared at Ru Feng's back with a sinister expression. It seemed that his master was really captivated by this effeminate fellow, Ru Feng. Look, his wise and mighty master had now turned into a naive young man. Whatever that kid Ru Feng wanted to do, his master would just go along with it. Although this kind of master was much more likable, he still couldn't stand it. So, he still preferred the cold and aloof master from before.

Ru Feng felt a chill run down her spine and said, "Wen Chen, someone is talking badly about me." In fact, Ru Feng had already sensed Mu Tong's unfriendly gaze. Her senses were always very sharp, especially recently, as her skills had improved again.

Mu Wenchen's face darkened, the shadow of the tree falling on his face, making it gloomy, so Ru Feng didn't notice.

"Don't worry, I'm here, it won't happen."

Ru Feng smiled and said, "There are stars tonight! It's spring now, and the grass and flowers along the road should be growing soon. I like them; they're so green, and they make me feel good."

“It will grow, soon!” Mu Wenchen echoed.

The two chatted along the way, and the short distance took them more than ten minutes to walk.

"I'm going back to my dorm," Ru Feng said softly to Mu Wenchen.

Mu Wenchen's eyes flickered, and he patted Rufeng's head, saying, "Let's go back, come again tomorrow."

Ru Feng pouted and said, "But I have to go to class tomorrow. Sigh, I really want to skip class." After saying that, she realized that the person in front of her was the headmaster of Fengxian Academy, so she immediately covered her mouth.

Mu Wenchen didn't say anything, but he held Ru Feng's wrist for a while before letting go and saying, "Let's go back."

Ru Feng nodded, not paying attention to Mu Wenchen's actions. However, her face felt hot, and she felt her hand being held was burning. So she quickly waved her hand and turned to leave, not daring to look back.
