“I’m keeping them here precisely because there’s no gain in keeping them.”
“I don’t get it.” Luo Yunzhu didn’t understand and looked at Feng Tianlan, puzzled. But Feng Tianlan merely smiled faintly in response, and Luo Yunzhu was even more confused. “Tianlan, what do you mean by that?”
“They’re now at a rank even lower than me. So, do you think it would be better for them to be out there somewhere doing whatever they want or for them to stay in Feng Manor and live under the Miss’ watchful eye?” Chuling dropped a hint for Luo Yunzhu.
Feng Tianlan had only kept the servants who were loyal to her, so by keeping Tu Xiang and family in the house, they would be watched carefully. The ones who had to behave themselves now were Tu Xiang and his family, not Feng Tianlan.
Luo Yunzhu immediately got it and clapped her hands. “In that case, it’s better that they stay in Feng Manor. What a turn of the tides! Now they’re getting what they deserve.”
After a while, Luo Yunzhu had more questions. “But it’s so weird. Why did the Wargod come to the academy? And it seems that he’s now a teacher, too. Don’t tell me that he likes Tu Xiupei and has come all the way here just for her?”
“I don’t think so. The Wargod is a misogynist. Besides, didn’t he send Tu Xiupei flying earlier?” Chuling shook her head.
“I think so too.” Luo Yunzhu then looked up and cheekily asked Feng Tianlan, “Tianlan, do you think the Wargod likes you and came for you?”
“No.” Feng Tianlan gave a short and sweet answer. She didn’t think he could be this childish or free.

That night, Feng Tianlan sat cross-legged on the bed training. She had just come out from the Pill Scroll Realm when she saw a flash at the window. Someone was standing in front of her. The next thing she knew, her body suddenly flew up and landed in the familiar minty-scented embrace.
She didn’t even get a chance to resist, and she wasn’t even surprised. She was so used to it now.
“Thanks for today.” Feng Tianlan was forced to remain in Si Mobai’s arms. She knew that he had purposely made Tu Xiupei land right in front of her as a way of getting back at Tu Xiupei on her behalf.
Just as she finished saying that, he placed his hands on her lower jaw, and then something soft touched her lips. He aggressively stuck his tongue into her mouth and cleaned her right out. He was so overbearing and aggressive that he did not even give her the chance to catch her breath.
She was only released when she felt something poking into her. Then, he held her from behind and whispered in her ear while panting, “If you exchange intimate glances with Si Rong again, I’ll kill him.”
Feng Tianlan couldn’t help but tremble and turn red when she felt his manly breath right next to her ear. “Go ahead and kill him then.”
Whether Si Rong lived or died had nothing to do with her!
Si Mobai was happy with that answer and carried her to the stool on the other side. He saw how red her face had become and was very proud of himself. “This Misty Forest Test is not as simple as it looks, so be careful.”
Feng Tianlan looked up at him questioningly, and the redness on her face diminished.
“There’s Spiritual grass in the Misty Forest, and the team that gets it automatically earns a place at the Flying Frost Pavilion.” Si Mobai frowned and looked at Feng Tianlan. “Don’t bother going to a place like Flying Frost Pavilion. It’s not good enough for you. Go to the Demon Palace instead.”
She would be the mistress of the Demon Palace, and everyone there would serve her and do her bidding. To him, Flying Frost Pavilion was not worthy of her!
“No, there is something I must do at Flying Frost Pavilion.” Feng Tianlan saw him stretch out his hand and tried to dodge it, but he caught hold of her and started playing with her fingers. She didn’t know what to say anymore.
Si Mobai looked at Feng Tianlan’s pink nails then gently pinched her soft hand. “Flying Frost Pavilion is too complicated. It’s not as good as Demon Palace.”
