The Charm of a Powerful Woman Spreads Across the World

Chapter 71

Ru Feng fought them with his bare hands for a while, and his defeat was beginning to show. Just as he was about to take out his weapon, the man in black standing next to Yu Xuan threw his sword over and said, "Here you go!"

Ru Feng was overjoyed. He dodged the sword to the side, spun around, and caught it steadily. Ru Feng was now like a tiger with wings, wielding the sword with incredible speed and power, unleashing the swordsmanship of the Ruthless Sword. In an instant, he was like a phoenix soaring in the sky, the sword whistling, and the chilling sword moves engulfed the three people in light and shadow.

Thus, Yu Xuan and the two men in black stood by and watched Ru Feng fight alone. Ru Feng didn't feel bitter at all; on the contrary, she was excited. She gripped the hilt of her sword, the sword clanging, the sword light layered and swirling like flowing light, first parrying an enemy's longsword, then, in a flash, her right foot kicked out, striking another person squarely in the chest and abdomen. That person staggered back, but Ru Feng's sword suddenly changed direction, darting past her side and stabbing into the chest of a person who lunged from behind!

The three men quickly showed signs of defeat. They exchanged glances, glared at Ru Feng resentfully, and then fled in perfect unison.

Ru Feng was unwilling to give up and was about to give chase when Yu Xuan suddenly shouted from behind, "Don't chase!"

So Ru Feng reluctantly stopped; she hadn't had enough. She looked at Yu Xuan, pondering what to do, when Yu Xuan said, "Let's go back." Upon hearing this, it was clear he already knew Ru Feng's identity.

So Ru Feng had no choice but to return the long sword in his hand to the man in black and reluctantly followed behind him.

"How did you know it was me?" Ru Feng asked.

Yu Xuan slowed his pace and walked alongside Ru Feng, saying, "How could I not recognize you? Let's stop talking and go back."

Back in the dormitory, after turning on a small lamp, Ru Feng changed her clothes in the dim candlelight and whispered, "We were fighting so fiercely outside, how come everyone inside was sleeping so soundly?"

Yu Xuan lay on his bed, rubbing his shoulders, and said, "Don't you know? Everyone in the martial arts world knows that fighting is not allowed in the student courtyards of Fengxian Academy. If there's a problem, you have to go outside and resolve it yourself, so no one is worried."

Ru Feng was surprised and intrigued. "So that's how it is!" he thought. "No wonder I heard people passing by my roof every night, and people fighting outside in the yard, but I never heard anyone fighting on my roof. So that's why!" Ru Feng asked with great interest, "How did this rule come about? Who's so powerful?"

Yu Xuan's eyes were filled with complex emotions as he said softly, "You don't need to know this."

Ru Feng immediately curled his lip in disappointment and said sarcastically, "No wonder you wanted to come back so much, it turns out this place is a safe haven. By the way, were you hurt just now?" His tone had turned to concern by the end.

Yu Xuan shook his head and smiled, "Luckily you showed up in time. By the way, has your martial arts improved a lot?"

Ru Feng nodded silently. The excitement from before had turned into exhaustion, and she couldn't help but want to sleep.

Yu Xuan, however, was quite energetic and asked, "How did you improve your martial arts skills?"

Ru Feng glared at him and said irritably, "What's it to you? I'm not going to tell you!" With that, she pulled the blanket over herself and prepared to go to sleep. It was already the middle of the night, and dawn was almost breaking.

Seeing that he couldn't get any information from her, Yu Xuan stopped paying attention and blew out the candle, and the room returned to calm.

After waiting for a while, Ru Feng still couldn't fall asleep, so he asked again, "Why did you only bring two people today? What if I hadn't shown up?"

After a long while, just when Ru Feng thought Yu Xuan wouldn't answer, he spoke up: "How was I supposed to know the other party was so clever? That they weren't completely fooled? We almost failed at the last minute!"

After hearing this, Ru Feng didn't ask any more questions, pulled up the blanket, and prepared to go to sleep.

Throughout the entire process, Ru Feng never asked Yu Xuan what he had found, and Yu Xuan never asked Ru Feng why he had helped him.

As Ru Feng lay in bed, his mind was still replaying the martial arts scene from earlier. After more than ten years of learning martial arts, Ru Feng had long since gone from having to learn it out of necessity to now enjoying it. During the holiday, Yu Chi Huai Yang had Ru Feng practice his family's Yu Chi sword technique, and the final fight with Fu Qiang Zhen had greatly improved Ru Feng's martial arts skills.

According to my grandfather, in all the world, to have a strong opponent like Fu Qiangzhen is already a great honor. Many martial arts practitioners yearn for it but cannot achieve it, and even he himself could not do it in the past.

These words make it sound as if Grandpa envies me so much, or as if I've benefited greatly from his kindness.

In the end, this honor resulted in two more holes in Ru Feng's buttocks and a sword wound in her shoulder. However, Ru Feng's progress was also obvious, so much so that she could now safely escape from Fu Qiang's formation. Because of this, Ru Feng still wanted to fight Wu Qing Jian to see who was stronger. Uh... isn't this what they call "ungrateful wretch"? After learning a higher level of martial arts, she wanted to trample on her mentor?

Therefore, tonight, even the combined attack of three masters could not harm Ru Feng in the slightest!

The next morning, classes began.

Ru Feng yawned listlessly, a sesame seed cake dangling from his mouth. He slumped his shoulders and followed Yu Xuan listlessly to class.

Yun Tianze walked over and asked with concern, "Ru Feng, did you go thieving last night? You don't look well."

Ru Feng took the sesame seed cake out of his mouth, nodded, and said, "Yeah, I was out thieving. I just dreamt of a beautiful woman, but I hadn't even kissed her before I woke up. Ugh, what a disappointment!" He then put the cake back in his mouth, ignoring the stares of others.

Yun Tianze's face darkened, and he said in a muffled voice, "Why did you have to dream about this? There are so many other dreams out there."

Ru Feng was too lazy to even make an expression. She was very tired after exercising last night, but she just couldn't fall asleep. In the end, she got so angry with herself, but what could she do if she couldn't sleep?

Yu Jue, standing nearby, said sarcastically, "What else could he be thinking about besides this? His mind is full of inappropriate thoughts."

Ru Feng didn't reply, but took a sip of the sesame seed cake. A salty taste entered her mouth, and she wondered why this road was so long.

Yu Xuan suddenly turned around, snatched the sesame seed cake from Ru Feng's mouth, threw it into the trash can, and said with disgust, "You rascal, how long have you been holding that sesame seed cake in your mouth and still haven't eaten it? Don't you know that the sesame seed cakes at Fengxian Academy are the best? They're crispy and crunchy, and they even have meat in them, and you still don't want to eat them! You're wasting Aunt Lan's good intentions!"

His tone was so serious, as if he were a well-behaved child who never wasted food.

Ru Feng rolled her eyes, looking at the sesame seed cake in the trash can, which still had sesame seeds on it.

"I don't like to eat things, no matter how good they are," Ru Feng said with a pout. Remembering the ambiguous emotion that flashed in Aunt Lan's eyes when she looked at his dark circles this morning, she finally stuffed a sesame seed cake into Ru Feng's hands without saying a word, telling him to eat something nourishing.

"Alright, alright, that's enough, we've arrived," Yu Jue called out.

Ru Feng dared not speak again. Yu Jue had recently started being sarcastic towards her again. She really didn't understand why this seemingly gentle and considerate gentleman could be so difficult to deal with when he got emotional. Ru Feng clicked her tongue, thinking that this was a question worth exploring, but not now. She needed to catch up on sleep now.

Since it was the beginning of the semester, it seemed that most people hadn't adjusted to their sleep schedules yet, so there were many people who were drowsy in class, and Ru Feng was one of the worst among them. Fortunately, the teacher turned a blind eye because Ru Feng was first in the class again last semester.

Just as Ru Feng was daydreaming about outer space, the classroom suddenly erupted into a huge commotion, waking Ru Feng up.

Ru Feng raised her head, touched the corner of her mouth, and hurriedly leaned forward to ask, "Yu Xuan, what happened?"

Yu Xuan looked gloomy and said in a deep voice, "The Crown Prince will be coming to Fengxian Academy soon."

Ru Feng was also taken aback: "The Crown Prince? The Crown Prince?" Clearly, in Ru Feng's mind, that person was still a distant figure, and he thought that he might never come into contact with him in the future. But now that he said that the Crown Prince had condescended to visit Fengxian Academy, that was definitely big news!

No wonder so many people are talking about it! Ru Feng concluded.

"But why do they look so excited?" Ru Feng asked, chin in hand, puzzled. So what if the Crown Prince is coming? Besides causing trouble for everyone, what else could he possibly be doing?

Yu Xuan looked at Ru Feng as if she were a monster: "Don't you understand? Don't you always boast that you're very smart?"
