The Charm of a Powerful Woman Spreads Across the World

Chapter 84

Like the wind, it remains still.

"Oh no, oh no, could something have happened to my senior brother?" Han Shan paced back and forth in the room.

Zuiyue glared at him and said, "Hmph, don't you trust my medical skills?"

Han Shan quickly smiled apologetically: "I'm not talking about physical problems, I'm talking about psychological problems."

After thinking for a moment, Zuiyue nodded and said, "Why haven't the Headmaster, Yujue, and Yuxuan arrived today? Don't they know that Senior Brother woke up today?"

Han Shan snorted and said irritably, "What does it matter whether they come or not? Every time the headmaster comes, you get nervous and refuse to let him and his senior brother be alone in a room. You get nervous when Yu Jue and Yu Xuan come, but the two brothers just stare blankly at Ru Feng."

Zuiyue glanced at Hanshan. How could this fool understand her feelings? Her senior brother was a woman, and she had to keep her secret. So of course, she couldn't let the headmaster and her senior brother be alone, lest he lift Rufeng's blanket to check on her injuries.

As if on cue, Mu Wenchen, Yu Jue, and Yu Xuan entered one after the other, not far apart. All three had joy on their faces, but Mu Wenchen's expression was more reserved, only his tightly furrowed brows relaxed and his expression more relaxed.

Yu Xuan didn't care. He rushed over and cried out, "Ru Feng, you're finally awake! We were so worried!"

Ru Feng remained silent, only keeping his eyes open.

Yu Jue, sensing something was wrong, held his hand up to Ru Feng's eyes and waved it, but Ru Feng didn't even blink. He quickly asked, "Ru Feng, Ru Feng, are you alright?" Seeing Ru Feng's lack of response, he looked at Zui Yue, "What's going on?"

Zuiyue was also puzzled: "Senior brother just woke up not long ago, and he's already like this right after waking up. We don't know either."

Upon hearing this, Yu Xuan had no choice but to grasp Ru Feng's hand and shake it frantically: "Ru Feng, Ru Feng! Could you be possessed?"

These words drew glares from the people in the room. Han Shan retorted sharply, "You're the one who's possessed. Your senior brother will be fine."

Mu Wenchen, who had been standing still, glanced at him, flicked his sleeve, and Yu Xuan staggered a few steps away from the bedside.

Mu Wenchen sat by the bed, picked up Rufeng, put the pillows down, and let her lie half-reclined before speaking his first words: "Rufeng, it's alright now. Yun Tianze can't catch up with us anymore, and the bead has been destroyed, so everyone's efforts were in vain, and no one gained anything."

These words seemed to work. Ru Feng blinked, and everyone was overjoyed. This time, Yu Xuan did not approach Ru Feng, but said, "Ru Feng, it's okay. My brother and I don't blame you. It was Yun Tianze who was too cunning and deceived you."

Then Ru Feng's eyes returned to their blank expression.

Yu Xuan was taken aback and looked at Yu Jue with confusion.

Yu Jue thought for a moment before saying, "It seems that Yun Tianze still has feelings for us, otherwise he wouldn't have given you the bead."

Ru Feng blinked again, and everyone was overjoyed once more.

Zuiyue patted her chest and said, "That's good." Hanshan also nodded with a smile.

But then, no matter what they said, Ru Feng didn't react. He just stared blankly with his eyes open, which made everyone worry again.

Mu Wenchen thought for a moment and then said his second sentence of the day: "You guys go out first, I'll talk to Rufeng."

Although Hanshan and Zuiyue were dissatisfied, they were intimidated by Mu Wenchen's authority and, seeing the situation before them, had no choice but to reluctantly retreat.

Yujue and Yuxuan exchanged a glance and withdrew in tacit agreement, but as they left, they both turned back to look at Rufeng.

After everyone left, Mu Wenchen half-held Rufeng in his arms. Rufeng stiffened, and Mu Wenchen chuckled, "Little one, stop pretending. Tell me, what's bothering you?"

Ru Feng shifted uncomfortably, but was held tightly in Mu Wenchen's arms. The warm breath enveloped him, and Ru Feng felt a wave of unease. After a long while, he said, "Don't hold me."

Mu Wenchen, however, acted shamelessly, ignoring Ru Feng's words and simply hugging her even tighter.

Seeing this, Ru Feng felt even more aggrieved and burst into tears.

*********************

Yujue, Yuxuan, Zuiyue, and Hanshan were all waiting outside the door. Among them, Zuiyue looked particularly uneasy, as if she wanted to rush in at any moment, which was very different from her usual calm personality.

Soon, everyone heard Ru Feng crying, sobbing and shouting, "Waaah... Waaah... Waaah... Why... Why did this happen... Waaah... Waaah..." Then there seemed to be sobbing and whispering. The group strained their ears but couldn't hear what Mu Wenchen said. They only heard Ru Feng's voice getting louder.

The four of them breathed a sigh of relief, as long as Ru Feng was willing to speak.

"Of course you're alright, you're not me, waah... my martial arts... all... all gone..." As she said this, her voice seemed to rise again, "Waah... this is something that someone spent more than ten years practicing, and it's gone just like that, how can I not be heartbroken?"

Very good, those last few words were shouted out in one breath, without any breaks.

"Waaah... Zuiyue said my true energy is blocked, but I can't even circulate it. What's the use of the book my master gave me? Waaah... Waaah... I'm so heartbroken, and you're still laughing, still laughing!" Then there was another sound of pounding, followed by Rufeng's painful cry.

Hearing this, Zuiyue was about to rush over when Rufeng's voice continued, "Waaah... Without martial arts, it's better to just die... Waaah... Don't stop me, none of you stop me... Just let me die, what's the point of not having martial arts? I worked so hard to master them, and now they're gone... Waaah... Remember... Remember to seek revenge on Yun Tianze!" By the end, his tone seemed a little sinister.

Mu Wenchen whispered again, his voice as light as the wind suddenly filled with surprise, "Really? You're not lying to me?"

Not long after, as the four were wondering, they heard Ru Feng say, "Alright."

Upon hearing this, the room fell silent. Just as they were wondering whether to open the door, it opened by itself.

Mu Wenchen appeared before everyone carrying Rufeng. Rufeng was already wearing a white robe. She buried her face in Mu Wenchen's chest, wrapped one arm around his neck, and placed her injured arm in her bosom.

Mu Wenchen's face remained expressionless. He merely glanced at the four of them and said, "If you don't speak, I'm leaving."

Ru Feng's muffled voice finally came out, saying, "Thank you everyone for your concern. Zui Yue, Han Shan, I'm going to the headmaster's place to recuperate. Come visit me again when you have time."

Zuiyue and Hanshan responded, and Zuiyue said, "Yes, I'll visit you once a day. It's not far anyway, as long as you're happy, Senior Brother."

Han Shan nodded hurriedly and said, "Yes, yes."

Yujue and Yuxuan exchanged a glance. Yujue spoke, his voice low, "Go, come find us when you've recovered from your injuries." But his eyes held worry and sadness.

Yu Xuan, his worry gone, teased, "Yes, yes, I'd like to see you cry again." He just kept his head down as he spoke.

Ru Feng snorted, buried her face even deeper, and rubbed it for a bit.

Mu Wenchen smiled faintly, no longer looking at the crowd, and leaped onto the roof with a light touch of his toes.
