3190 It’s Me
Seeing her like that, Mr. Lu sighed. “Xiao Wu, you…”
“What?” Feng Wu looked at him in bewilderment.
Mr. Lu said, “I guess ignorance does make one innocent.”
Feng Wu looked perplexed.
Mr. Lu said, “That’s it, then. Mr. Helian has told you everything you need to know. Just remember: Don’t keep anything from the general. He hates it when people lie to him.”
Feng Wu said, “I see.”
Mr. Lu couldn’t help but worry when he saw how indifferent Feng Wu was.
He was even more worried than the “culprit.”
They arrived at the general’s residence, which was an impressive establishment.
It took up thousands of square meters of land, but there was only one building at the center of the spacious square.
A pair of 10m-tall red lion sculptures were set outside the gate. They held their heads high and looked quite imposing.
The doors were vermilion and made of bronze.
Bronze nails on the doors glinted.
There were no guards at the gate.
It was as if the general was the only one in this residence.
As soon as they arrived, they heard the general’s distant voice.
“Come in.”
The two plain words were full of intimidation.
Mr. Xu and Mr. Lu had worked with the general for years and knew him well. Hearing the general’s voice, they immediately realized he was in a bad mood.
Mr. Xu glanced at Mr. Lu with a knowing look and a half-smile.
The general might not argue with a girl, but he could go after Mr. Lu.
Mr. Lu smiled bitterly, realizing he could be in trouble today.
Still, he had to defend Feng Wu.
Mr. Lu had asked Elder Helian about Jun Linyuan, but it just so happened that Jun Linyuan was in seclusion and couldn’t offer any help.
Mr. Lu could only summon up his courage and lead Feng Wu inside.
Behind the gate was the large square, and the sole building in the center of it.
They entered the building, and the general was inside.
The three of them hadn’t changed positions.
Feng Wu stood in the middle with Mr. Lu on her right and Mr. Xu on her left.
It was her first time meeting her godfather.
According to Feng Xun, he had only met his father a few times because the latter was too busy confronting the Dongsang Kingdom. He hadn’t returned to the imperial capital for ten years.
Feng Wu finally got to see the legendary Northern Feng General.
He alone had helped the Junwu Empire intimidate the Dongsang Kingdom.
Northern Feng General sat on a cushion with his legs crossed.
He seemed to be in his early thirties and had sculpted features and sharp eyes.
While Feng Wu was looking at him, he was studying her as well.
There was a letter in his pocket.
It had come from his wife a while ago.
She wrote excitedly that she had found them a goddaughter named Feng Wu and was sure he would like her when they met.
Impossible!
Northern Feng General wouldn’t believe her. He found his wife too soft-hearted. How could she take in a daughter just like that?
Apart from his wife, he didn’t care about any other woman, even if she was only a girl.
He now saw the girl that his wife had mentioned in the letter.
She was… Well, she indeed looked as delicate as his wife had said and was as pretty as a china doll.
She stood there, looking scared. She seemed to want to stay away from Mr. Xu. The general thought, “Did Mr. Xu bully her on her way here?!”
Northern Feng General frowned and was a little displeased.
“Little Feng Wu?” Northern Feng General kept his gaze on her.
“Yes, godfather. It’s me,” Feng Wu said sweetly.
