Realizing that he had said the wrong thing, Cheng Fang looked away and pretended that he didn’t know anything.

“Cheng Fang, do you know something we don’t?” Shao Xiao stared at him.

Cheng Fang wouldn’t answer the question.

Wang Zhi frowned a little. “I recall that your brother is in Class A, and he’s a member of the seeded team.”

Cheng Fang shook his head. “I don’t know anything about that. Please stop asking me. I can’t tell you anything.”

It only confirmed that what he had said was true. His teammates didn’t like the sound of that at all.

Shao Xiao frowned. “As far as I know, the leader of the seeded team is Chen Ziyun, the president of the Martial Arts Society. Has he already chosen a candidate?”

“Is it Shan Jingfei?” Wang Zhi looked at Cheng Fang.

Cheng Fang said coldly, “Don’t ask me. I can’t tell you anything.”

The others took his answer for a “yes.”

“Is Chen Ziyun in love with Shan Jingfei?” Ling Hao asked curiously.

Wang Zhi shook his head. “Chen Ziyun isn’t that type of person. Qiu Zeyu is more likely to do something like that.”

Ling Hao asked, “Qiu Zeyu? As in the second-best student in the seeded team?”

Wang Zhi said, “I saw Qiu Zeyu taking walks with Shan Jingfei before.”

Shao Xiao glanced at Wang Zhi.

Wang Zhi was a discreet person. He wouldn’t have said something like that if those two people had really just been walking together. He must have seen something else.

Wang Zhi nodded when he saw the look in Shao Xiao’s eyes.

Shao Xiao shrugged. He had probably guessed correctly.

“Forget about first place, then,” Shao Xiao told Feng Wu. “Let’s go back.”

Feng Wu said, “You guys go ahead.”

Shao Xiao said sincerely, “Feng Wu, you have to accept the fact that we can’t get first place.”

Feng Wu asked, “Why?”

Shao Xiao lowered his voice. “That spot has probably been determined in advance. You can’t win, no matter how hard you try.”

Feng Wu smiled. “Is it because of that Qiu Zeyu you mentioned just then?”

There was silence.

Feng Wu was still smiling. “He won’t be a problem.”

Huo Shan agreed.

Qiu Zeyu was nothing! Feng Wu’s backer was a much more influential person!

However, Shao Xiao and the others didn’t know what Huo Shan knew, so they only found Feng Wu stubborn.

“Feng Wu, you probably don’t know what it means to be a member of the seeded team.” Shao Xiao tried to explain to her. “We’re only in Class B, so the team is normally beyond our reach. You’ve only just joined us. Understandably, you don’t know what an intricate matter this is.

“Here’s the thing: Members of the seeded team are the most capable students in the entire academy.

“‘Seeded team’ isn’t its official name.

“It’s called ‘Dynasty Team’.”

Feng Wu was surprised. “Dynasty Team? Are they actually allowed to use that name?”

Shao Xiao smiled bitterly. “If you know who the team’s founder is, you’ll understand where that name came from.

“The person who founded the first Dynasty Team was His Royal Highness,” said Shao Xiao. “I think you know who that is.”

Many years had passed since the engagement between Feng Wu and the crown prince was said to have been annulled. Most people had forgotten about it.
