978 Beautiful Master 3 “Master, you’re awake. Does this mean that you can stay with me forever?” With her beautiful master around, Feng Wu seemed to find her innocent self again. It was as if the world was her backyard and she could live like a carefree princess. Her beautiful master’s smile was gentle and peaceful. He smiled at Feng Wu, as if he was looking at his favorite child. But then, he shook his head. Feng Wu’s heart sank and she looked up at him. “So...” “Seven days.” His eyes were the darkest black. “Only seven days...” Feng Wu bit her lower lip and sighed. Well, it was better than nothing. Feng Wu clenched her fists. She made a mental note that she would find all five broken star pieces. That way, her beautiful master would stay with her forever. She looked forward to that day. Just then, she heard light footsteps nearby. She realized that the fight had drawn some attention. She couldn’t leave the assassin’s body here. Other people might be able to learn something from it if they studied it carefully. Feng Wu snorted, then took a bottle of corpse-dissolving solution out of her sleeve. Sizzle — Soon, Guillotine Seven turned into a pool of pale yellow liquid. Feng Wu then took everyone home. Qiuling was the first to see Feng Wu when she got home, and she almost screamed. Feng Wu silenced her with a hand gesture. Qiuling burst into tears. “Miss, were you tortured? Was it His Majesty?” Chaoge was there as well, and she was furious! “I thought you saved the crown prince. Why would they do this to you? I need to talk to those people!” Chaoge then rushed toward the door. Baffled, Feng Wu stopped her right away. “It’s not what you think. Just stay put.” “So, what happened?” By then, everyone had arrived, and they all shed tears when they saw how badly hurt Feng Wu was. Luckily, the beautiful lady had already gone to bed. She would pass out from distress if she saw this. Looking around the room, Feng Wu took a deep breath and decided to tell them the truth. This was the start of the Zuo family’s revenge, and they had to be on guard now. She told them about the assassination just then. “The Zuo family!” “They tried to kill you?!” “I can’t believe this! That’s just outrageous!” Feng Wu looked around the room with a solemn look in her eyes. “But they did just try, and there’s nothing we can do.” The crowd was speechless. Chaoge asked, “What are we going to do now?” Feng Wu said calmly, “Don’t get too wound up. After Guillotine Seven, I don’t think they’ll send another killer for a while. What worries me now isn’t my own safety, but yours.” Qiuling said, “Miss, we’ll be fine. As long as we stay at home...” Feng Wu smiled bitterly. “Of course you can stop going out, but we’re a wall away from the street outside; what will you do if the Zuo family sends the next killer here? You won’t stand a chance!” “Then...” Everyone looked at Feng Wu nervously. Feng Wu studied their faces carefully. She had come up with a plan already. Her beautiful master would be here for seven days, and she would have the Taiyi formation ready in that time. It would cover the entire area from Fang Manor to Fallen Star Yard. Then — Feng Wu was going to dig a tunnel from Fallen Star Yard to Grand Secretary Fang’s house.
