The news of Shi Sheng not attending class was quickly spread to Patriarch Feng.

  After learning about what happened, Patriarch Feng grimaced with displeasure in front of Wan Quan for the first time. In the past, Wan Quan was a privileged existence in the Feng household. However, he was given a look of disfavor this time because of what happened. Deep down, Wan Quan could not wrap his head around this.

  “Patriarch Feng, Seventh Miss is your biological daughter, Third Miss is just…”


  “Shut up!” Patriarch Feng rebuked, “You don’t know anything.”


  “Yes, I do not know anything.” Wan Quan looked solemn and continued to say: “Seventh Miss and you are inseparable by blood, she is your closest family member, why are you treating her like this? You have raised Third Miss by your side for a long time, it is inevitable for you to have feelings of fondness for her, but to treat your own daughter like that for someone with a different surname, I can’t understand that, and I can’t approve of that.”


  Patriarch Feng’s gaze turned dark, “Wan Quan, when I took you in years ago, it was not so that you could preach to me now.”


  Wan Quan’s expression changed slightly as if he thought of something. He hung his head and did not speak.

  Patriarch Feng was silent for a moment, “Since you think so highly of her, she will be put into your care.”


  Patriarch Feng flicked his sleeves* and left, leaving Wan Quan standing alone in the hall.

  [Note: A Chinese saying that translates into leaving angrily]

  ……


  Feng Qing Qing had been following Wan Quan since then. Meanwhile, Shi Sheng had not been able to persevere in her studies, causing her tutor to be very free.

  Patriarch Feng nagged Shi Sheng about this several times since Shi Sheng promised not to embarrass Patriarch Feng during her finals, so Patriarch Feng decided to let her off the hook.

  Even though Shi Sheng did not go to class, she did not fall behind in her practice.

  The female lead was constantly improving, so how could she be left behind without any improvements?

  It was just that the female lead was practicing alchemy, but Shi Sheng was not interested in learning. She could not learn it either. It was too delicate a job, and it also required patience, which was a great test for someone like Shi Sheng who would draw her sword at the drop of a hat.

  “Third sister, I haven’t seen you come to the martial arts arena in a long time.” Just as Shi Sheng approached the martial arts arena, Feng Qi Qi appeared out of nowhere with a few sisters and greeted her with a smile.

  “Third sister.”


  “Third Miss.”


  The group of sisters bowed to Shi Sheng according to their status.

  “What’s up?” Shi Sheng raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at Feng Qi Qi.
