3261 The Honey Trap

“I don’t know what’s going on with this Ji Ying, but he learns inscriptions very fast. According to my kid, it seems Ji Ying built a solid foundation when he was young. He can simply memorize inscriptions and use them after a short while.

“But something’s very strange.”

Feng Wu asked, “What’s strange?”

Aunt Qing said, “It’s very strange. After Ji Ying grew up, he didn’t have such talent anymore. His speed at learning inscriptions isn’t much faster than my boy now. That’s why my boy said that he had a good foundation when he was young.”

A thought flashed across Feng Wu’s mind, but it was too fast for her to catch.

She then asked, “Then… which clan is Ji Ying from?”

Auntie Qing said, “Which clan? I don’t remember if he belongs to any clan. I think he was a poor kid adopted by the Duanmu family. If he had a clan, why would he find a new one?”

Feng Wu said, “But didn’t your kid say that Ji Ying had a foundation as a child? Only a good family can nurture a child’s inscription skills from a young age. Ordinary families can’t afford to do that.”

It was very extravagant to hire an inscription master to teach a child.

Auntie Qing was stumped and looked at Feng Wu. “You’re right.”

And then? Feng Wu stared into Auntie Qing’s eyes.

Aunt Qing looked suspicious. “Why didn’t I think of this before? But that shouldn’t matter, right? Maybe his family fell from grace in the past?”

Aunt Qing didn’t think much of it, but she made a mental note of it.

It was very difficult to achieve Level 8 in inscriptions.

How many people were there in the Junwu Empire? At least a million people. However, among them, only Elder Mei, Elder Yan and Master Wang Zhiheng here had reached Level 8.

The Military Academy had a few more, but not too many.

Feng Wu had reached that level because she had her beautiful master, who was the most capable cultivator on the continent.

So…

How could Ji Ying have become a Level 8 inscription master?

Feng Wu took the opportunity to chat with Auntie Qing for a while longer, learning everything she needed to know about the Military Academy’s side. Only then did she get up to leave.

Auntie Qing was quite reluctant to see her leave.

She kept telling Feng Wu to visit more often.

Feng Wu smiled. “Sure. I’ll come here often when I’m free. I hope you don’t find me annoying.”

On her way back, she ran into Mo Ziming.

She had already found out that the conflict between Mo Ziming and Ji Ying stemmed from their masters.

Master Duanmu had always been mighty, condescending and arrogant. He and Master Wang had a grudge against each other because of their junior sister’s marriage and misfortune. How could they let this matter rest?

Thus, the two sides started fighting.

Mo Ziming had always been suppressed, mocked and humiliated by Ji Ying. It would be strange if he didn’t hate Ji Ying.

Feng Wu felt sorry for Mo Ziming when she saw him.

Mo Ziming looked a little embarrassed. He had wanted to put on a good show in front of his junior sister, but in the end, he was humiliated by Ji Ying.

“Xiao Wu…” As soon as Mo Ziming started talking, a person walked toward them.

It was Ji Ying again.

“Young lady, do you know who I am?” Ji Ying, who had returned, stood in front of Feng Wu with his most elegant posture.

As he tried to seduce her, he glanced at Mo Ziming provocatively.

Mo Ziming was furious.

Ji Ying tried to reel Feng Wu in with his crooked smile.
