The Charm of a Powerful Woman Spreads Across the World

Chapter 88

Ru Feng thought for a moment and decided to put that matter aside for now. She should be grateful that she had escaped with her life; there was something important to say right now.

"Wenchen, I don't want to study anymore," Rufeng said softly, while Mu Wenchen rubbed his head comfortably.

Upon hearing this, Mu Wenchen paused in his actions, turned Ru Feng's face towards him, and asked, "Why don't you want to think about it anymore?"

Ru Feng lowered his head: "It's boring, everyone's gone."

Mu Wenchen took a deep breath and calmly asked, "So what do you want to do?" Do you really want to leave Fengxian Academy?

Ru Feng broke free and said, "It's better to join the army than to stay here."

Mu Wenchen was startled and immediately said, "Don't even think about it!" His voice was a bit loud.

Ru Feng was surprised and looked up at him. In her memory, he rarely spoke in such a loud voice. Even when he was unhappy, he would just lower his voice and then exude an aura of "keep away" from strangers. That's how he made his imposing presence.

Seeing Ru Feng looking at him in surprise, Mu Wenchen quickly cleared his throat and explained, "First of all, your injuries haven't healed yet, and your martial arts haven't recovered." As he said this, seeing that Ru Feng didn't take it seriously, he continued, "Ru Feng, actually, the battlefield isn't that fun. It's not suitable for you."

Ru Feng nodded in agreement: "Yes, the battlefield must be bloody and terrifying; not everyone can endure it." Seeing Mu Wenchen's satisfied expression, Ru Feng added slowly, "However, no one is born suited for the battlefield, and I remember someone saying that a man who hasn't experienced the trials of war isn't a man."

Mu Wenchen's expression was grim. He stared intently at Rufeng and asked, "Are you really determined to go?"

"This is my responsibility, and I can't escape it. Besides, I don't believe you don't know that relations between our country and the Spring Ivy Country have become tense." This was something Zuiyue told her; the news came from the street.

Mu Wenchen stood up, put his hands behind his back, and looked out the window. From there, he could see the entire courtyard, where Mu Tong was weeding among the flowers.

"Are you really leaving?" he asked again.

Ru Feng nodded silently. Although she didn't know why Mu Wenchen didn't want her to go, or why he would interfere in her affairs, she nodded firmly. Also, the fact that she hadn't received a single letter from home recently made Ru Feng slightly uneasy.

Mu Wenchen sighed and said, "Let's talk about it later."

So the two of them tacitly stopped talking about it, and Ru Feng's life began to get busier.

Although she has lost her martial arts skills, all the small wounds on her body have healed, and even the sword she blocked for Yuxuan that night has almost healed. Now she clearly understands that her undergarment is only impervious to blades and spears, but if the person's internal strength is strong enough and they stab directly at her, she will still be injured after the sword has made contact with her body.

However, once a martial artist loses their internal energy, their body can sometimes be worse than that of an ordinary person who has never practiced martial arts. So now, Ru Feng can only walk with difficulty and his movements are still relatively free, but he can't exert any force with his right hand.

But Ru Feng is still very busy. Now, besides eating and sleeping, she reads books, the kind of books she used to dislike. They are all from the academy, and she has even borrowed the teacher's notes to read.

Mu Wenchen and Mu Tong were clueless, but only Ru Feng knew what she was up to.

While Ru Feng was reading, Mu Wenchen was also reading. Ru Feng occasionally glanced at him out of curiosity and saw that he was reading a medical book.

Seeing that he occasionally discussed issues with Zuiyue, Rufeng finally couldn't help but ask, "Wenchen, are you planning to study medicine?"

Mu Wenchen shook his head and said calmly, "No, I was just curious and wanted to take a look."

Ru Feng simply said "Oh" and didn't ask any further questions.

Half a month later, with Zuiyue and Mu Wenchen working together, Mu Wenchen was included because he had somehow found some excellent wound medicine and some medicines that could strengthen the body and restore internal energy, so Rufeng recovered very quickly.

Seeing that Ru Feng had almost recovered, Mu Wenchen cleared her meridians, allowing her to continue practicing the internal energy cultivation method her master had given her. With Mu Wenchen's help, Ru Feng regained her internal strength in just ten days, making her extremely happy, although she also lost a few pounds and got panda eyes as a result.

"Wen Chen, I have martial arts skills again!" Ru Feng danced with joy. Mu Tong looked at Ru Feng with disdain from the side. During this time, their relationship had only made a little progress. Mu Tong no longer looked at Ru Feng coldly, but he was not enthusiastic either.

In fact, Mu Tong felt very wronged. Ever since he learned that his punishment had ended early because of Ru Feng, he had tried to be nicer and more enthusiastic to Ru Feng, but it never worked. Every time he tried to be enthusiastic, his master would watch coldly from the side.

Now I've come to terms with it. Let my master do whatever he wants. If he's gay, so be it. Anyway, if he's not gay, he'll probably be alone for the rest of his life. So why not find someone to keep him company? Uh... even if that person is a man, so what? My master is so outstanding, so wise and powerful. It's no big deal if a man keeps him company. It just means my master is even more outstanding.

Mu Wenchen smiled and said, "I know, look how happy you are."

“Hehe, you don’t know how bad it is to not have internal energy. I have to climb for half a day to get to the pavilion. With internal energy, I can just leap up there with a light touch,” Ru Feng laughed, his eyes narrowing.

Looking at Ru Feng's rosy complexion, Mu Wenchen pinched her and said, "You've still lost weight. Remember to eat more tonight."

Ru Feng slightly turned her head away from Mu Wenchen's large hand. Mu Wenchen was becoming more and more fond of touching her, and she was becoming more and more afraid to face him.

Ru Feng looked at Mu Tong beside him and exclaimed, "Tonight I want braised lion's head meatballs, steamed pork ribs, lotus leaf steamed pork, and a serving of chicken soup."

Mu Tong looked miserable and was about to say something when she heard her master frown and say, "Why is it all meat? You're being picky. Mu Tong, add two more plates of green vegetables and a bowl of green peppers."

After saying that, Ru Feng's face also turned bitter.

Evening, dinner time.

Ru Feng's hand trembled, and he said with a pained expression, "Wen Chen, do you think my right hand is alright?"

Mu Wenchen nodded seriously: "Haven't you already made progress? You can definitely do it."

Ru Feng put down her chopsticks, pulled up her sleeve, revealing her smooth, fair arm with a long, shallow scar. Because the wound was deep, reaching the bone and the flesh was turned up, and because she had fallen on the yellow mud ground, sand and dirt had mixed in. Moreover, it would take some time for her to get back to Zui Yue, so no matter how much medicine Mu Wen Chen and Zui Yue used, they couldn't get rid of it. Ru Feng herself didn't feel anything, but Mu Wen Chen and Zui Yue felt heartbroken.

At this moment, Mu Wenchen stared at the arm that resembled a section of lotus root, and then quickly glared at Mu Tong with his glasses on. Mu Tong was startled and quickly lowered his head, not daring to look any further.

Mu Wenchen then cleared his throat and said, "Rufeng, you shouldn't expose your arms and legs so casually in the future. It's not good. Also, don't let others grab your wrists."

Ru Feng was taken aback and hurriedly asked, "Why can't I let others hold my hand?" Ru Feng remembered that she didn't seem to refuse when Mu Wenchen touched her hand.

Mu Wenchen said seriously, "Because those are the pulse points of martial arts practitioners, so of course they can't be grabbed by anyone at will."

Ru Feng was taken aback and said, "But my pulse points aren't there, they're elsewhere. My martial arts are different from those of ordinary martial artists." This is also why the Ruthless Sword Sect has only accepted one disciple each time for hundreds of years, yet it has been able to secure a place in the martial arts world where masters abound. In Ru Feng's generation, they even won the title of the number one master in the martial arts world.

Hearing this, Mu Wenchen felt a little embarrassed, but he didn't show it. He simply repeated, "Just be more careful in the future."

Ru Feng nodded, thought for a moment, and realized that only very close people could hold her hand so freely. Thinking of this, Ru Feng secretly glanced at Mu Wenchen's handsome face, and her face flushed.
