Chapter 314: That’s Your Love Rival

The scandal came to light when Tu Xiuyu exposed Tu Xiang. It shocked all of South Winds City. Although most people empathized with Feng Tianlan, some found her actions excessive. They thought that she was too cruel to her kin.

Disregarding the gossip, Feng Tianlan remained in her courtyard, continuing her cultivation with Luo Yunzhu. Si Mobai was also busy. Still, he never failed to check on Feng Tianlan every day. Even if it meant flipping over walls at midnight and admiring her secretly from a distance, he still made the effort.

…..

The day of the Misty Forest expedition finally arrived. Before the Blue Flame Academy stood Feng Tianlan and company, patiently waiting for volunteers to join them on the journey.

“Feng Clan Head, may I come along?”

“Feng Clan Head, my sense of direction will be an asset to your team. You should bring me instead.”

“I can do all of your laundry! Besides, I am a chef!”

“Well, I am as strong as an ox, and I have no trouble carrying heaving loads. Furthermore, I am an expert when it comes to herbs and medicine. Take me!”

Many students crowded around Feng Tianlan, showing off their good points and attempting to convince her why they were the best volunteers. The response was so overwhelming that Luo Zhouquan greened with envy.

Unmoved by their requests, Feng Tianlan turned them all down flatly. “I apologize, but I don’t think I have enough leadership skills to take charge here.”

Taken aback by her blatant refusal without any wiggle room for negotiation, some in the crowd started speaking negatively about Feng Tianlan.

“What’s her deal? She is just a little Spiritual Master. If people didn’t feel sorry for her because her family betrayed her, I don’t think anyone would bother with a nobody like her.”
