The Charm of a Powerful Woman Spreads Across the World

Chapter 121

Ru Feng dared not be naughty anymore. Her face flushed under his gaze, and fearing she would get herself into trouble, she quickly crawled out of his arms and said, "I'll go and bring the food up. We'll eat in the room today."

Mu Wenchen could only watch helplessly as Ru Feng skipped away towards the door. In truth, he desperately wanted to bring that alluring little girl back. In fact, he could have, but... sigh... was it because she had been hanging out with a group of men for so long that she was so bold? And he had spoiled her too much.

Ru Feng was beaming with pride, practically walking on air. Seeing the smile on his face, the others couldn't help but wonder: "Young Master, it seems like it's been a long time since you've been this happy?" It seemed that guest from earlier really knew how to handle things; they had to serve him well.

After giving an order in the kitchen, Ru Feng immediately ran to Yu Chi Huaiyang's room to check on his grandfather's condition. Then, he told Zui Yue, Zui Zhu, and Han Shan about the Poison Hand Healer. The three of them were very happy, especially Zui Yue, who was extremely excited. The hardships of the past few days seemed to be negligible.

Zui Zhu, who was usually carefree, was surprisingly perceptive: "Senior brother, I see you still have something to tell us. You seem very happy, it's not just because Grandpa Yuchi's illness can be treated, is it?" Her tone was a little sour.

Ru Feng's smile froze. She glanced at Nan Shan and said, "Did you tell them something about me?"

Nanshan lowered his head and said softly, "Senior brother, how dare I say anything?" His tone was very insincere. In fact, in his shock, he had told Zuiyue about Rufeng and Muwenchen's interaction and was worried about Rufeng's sexual orientation.

Upon hearing this, Zui Zhu became even more enraged. He picked up the sword at his waist and wanted to do something to Mu Wenchen. If Zui Yue hadn't stopped him, he probably would have ruined Ru Feng's good deed halfway through.

Ru Feng snorted, then chuckled and said, "Don't worry, it's alright."

Zuiyue nodded and said, "That's right, you two don't need to worry about this. Senior brother knows what he's doing."

Ru Feng glanced at Zui Yue with admiration, touched her face, and wondered if her skin had gotten worse lately. Should she get some pearl powder or something to whiten it?

After taking Zuizhu and Nanshan away, Rufeng asked.

Upon hearing this, Zuiyue glanced at Rufeng with an ambiguous look: "A woman adorns herself for the one she loves?"

Knowing that no one was around, Ru Feng boldly said, "Get lost! Even if it's for your own sake, who says you have to dress up for others?"

Zuiyue covered her mouth and chuckled, saying, "You confessed?"

Thinking of this, Ru Feng said resentfully, "Hmph, do I even need to say it? He already knew. I was torturing myself, wondering whether to tell him or not, and worrying about his sexuality." Recalling her agonizing thoughts a while ago, Ru Feng even had the urge to devour Mu Wenchen. That guy knew her secret, yet he remained calm and collected, and even lured her, this innocent little lamb, into his sheepfold step by step, almost devouring her completely.

Zuiyue looked at Rufeng's smiling face, which was much gentler than before. Although he was still as radiant as ever, he had gained a touch of tenderness. She smiled slightly; it was rare to see her senior brother smile so happily like this.

The next day, the so-called Poison Hand Healer indeed arrived. He was an elderly man with gray hair who looked very kind and was not at all like the cold-hearted person that was rumored in the martial arts world. As soon as he arrived, he started to get busy, and Zuiyue followed along and learned from him.

As for Ru Feng, she was newly in love and had a lot of troubles in the military camp recently. So, in order to avoid getting involved in the factional struggles, Ru Feng went to Luoyan City every day. Everyone thought she was going to see Yu Chi Huaiyang, so no one objected. Many people wanted to see Yu Chi Huaiyang's condition from Ru Feng's expression, but Ru Feng's expression hardly changed and remained the same as usual. Therefore, no one could figure out Yu Chi Huaiyang's condition, only that he was still unconscious.

As soon as Ru Feng entered the Yuchi residence, a smile appeared on her face. She spent all her time with Mu Wenchen. Since Ru Feng's identity could not be revealed yet, she could only pretend to practice martial arts with Mu Wenchen in their room to talk about love every day.

Mu Wenchen was not good with words, so Ru Feng did most of the talking while he listened.

This situation greatly annoyed Mu Tong, who spent his days pounding his chest in frustration, constantly complaining that Ru Feng had corrupted his master. Of course, he could only grumble in his heart; how could he not know that his master doted on this handsome man, Ru Feng, to the extreme!

Last time, Ru Feng casually mentioned that she missed the plum blossom cakes from Fengxian Academy, saying that the ones in Luoyan City weren't good, not as sweet. But after Ru Feng returned to the camp, her master dragged her out of bed in the middle of the night and insisted she make the plum blossom cakes herself. At that moment, Ru Feng felt like dying. What time was that? The middle of the night!

The master probably realized this, so he cleared his throat and said, "I just came to remind you, because I'm afraid I'll forget it when I wake up tomorrow morning."

Mu Tong was speechless, but Master, you don't have to sleep, but I do!

Mu Wenchen repeated himself before returning to his room.

Mu Tong thought the matter was over, but to his surprise, before dawn the next day, his master appeared silently at his bedside again, almost giving him a nightmare.

"Mu Tong, you should get up and make plum blossom cakes. Ru Feng will be here soon." Mu Wenchen's voice was cold and indifferent, but only Mu Tong knew how anxious her master was.

At that moment, Mu Tong really wanted to vomit blood to express his protest. What order did his master give him that he didn't remember? Did he really have to be reminded again and again?

Mu Tong shook his head. It turned out that once the wise and mighty master got along with someone else, his words and actions would be different from other times. He remembered that day when the master offered the plum blossom cake to Ru Feng, Ru Feng ate it with great relish, and the master's expression was so satisfied that he completely forgot about his poor servant and great contributor!

The wonderful days were almost over, and like the wind, reason and emotions gradually returned.

Yu Chi Huaiyang's illness is still not good. The poison has been neutralized, but to be completely cured, he will need to be in a coma for at least three to five months.

Even so, Ru Feng was quite satisfied, because being able to escape with his life was already a great achievement.

A few days later, the imperial court issued an edict announcing the selection of the marshal. Ru Feng succeeded his grandfather as the new marshal. People's expressions varied, but most were optimistic about it.

The person who came to deliver the imperial decree was Yu Xuan.

Dressed in fine clothes and riding a spirited horse, the young man stood against the wind, a smile playing on his lips. Sunlight shone on him, as if gilding him with a layer of gold.

Ru Feng and the others stood up together, looking at Yu Xuan, feeling as if they had been transported to another world.

It's been so long! It's been almost a year since we parted ways at the academy.

After dismissing the crowd, everyone watched as the Third Prince and the newly appointed Marshal entered the military tent. It seemed that, as rumored, the Third Prince and the Marshal were indeed good classmates.

The tent was empty. Ru Feng looked at Yu Xuan and smiled, "Why are you the one delivering the imperial decree?"

Yu Xuan opened his arms, his handsome face full of smiles: "I thought you would give me a hug first. You always do that when we haven't seen each other for a few days."

Ru Feng slapped his hand and said, "I refuse to hug you."

Yu Xuan carefully examined Ru Feng, then frowned and said, "Ru Feng, you look very relaxed, almost like you're enjoying yourself here!"

Ru Feng was startled and quickly suppressed her smile, saying, "Where do you think this is? There are no women here." Her grandfather would not allow prostitutes to appear in the military camp, and besides, even if there were, she could not enjoy them.

Yu Xuan chuckled, found a stool and sat down, saying, "Never mind, it seems your grandfather's illness is mostly cured, otherwise you wouldn't be so happy."

Ru Feng sat down beside him and asked softly, "Why am I the marshal?"

A fleeting thought crossed Yu Xuan's face, but he quickly smiled and said, "Of course it's because of my brother's and my recommendation, and you yourself are very talented. Father was very happy after watching the last battle."

Ru Feng frowned: "There are many people more talented than me. My grandfather has never made any friends in the court. Apart from you and Brother Jue, there shouldn't be many people who would speak up for us." The Yuchi family has never gotten too close to important officials in the court, and even deliberately avoids contact with them. But strangely enough, although some ignorant people occasionally impeach the Yuchi family, the emperor has never doubted the loyalty of the Yuchi family. Therefore, the Yuchi family has been able to exist for hundreds of years.

Yu Xuan smiled nonchalantly: "Don't even think about it. How could we possibly guess what Father is thinking?"

After speaking, he took a closer look at Ru Feng.
