Chapter 686: “Startling Change at Zephyr (2)”
Fan Qi and Ning Rui had shared many als at the sa table for years and years. Ning Xin had just passed on and although it was exposed that Ning Xin had plotted to kill Fan Jin just before her death, Ning Rui had at that mont cleverly chosen to sacrifice her daughter as a pawn to protect himself. Under those circumstances, Fan Qi would only feel endless guilt and not put up his guard against Ning Rui.
And Jun Wu Xie had not expected that so soon after they left the Zephyr Academy, Fan Qi would die so suddenly.
The matter would most definitely not be a fact the Fan Brothers would be able to accept easily.
Jun Wu Xie lowered her head to consider the situation a mont before she said: “Don’t tell Fan Zhuo about this for the ti being.”
“Yes, Young Miss.” Ye Sha said.
By the ti Fan Zhuo returned, Ye Sha had already left. The waiter served a table full of dishes and Fan Zhuo smilingly invited Jun Wu Xie to sit down to eat.
Nothing could be seen from Jun Wu Xie’s calm deanor and after just taking two mouthfuls, she suddenly put down her chopsticks.
“I will be making a trip back to the Zephyr Academy.”
Fan Zhuo cast a glance at Lord h h on the bed and asked with uncertainty: “Will Lord h h’s condition be strong enough to make the trip?”
Jun Wu Xie shook her head. “I have sothing back at the bamboo grove that can help Lord h h with its condition. Lord h h cannot be moved at the mont and so, I will need you to remain behind to help look after it.”
“?” Fan Zhuo was shocked.
“Why don’t you tell what it is and I’ll go back and get it for you. If you are gone and anything happens to Lord h h, I’m afraid that I will not be able to handle it.”
“I will need to concoct so dicine back there and you wouldn’t be able to do it for anyway. Rest assured, I have stabilised Lord h h’s condition and I will also leave behind so dicine. You will only need to let Lord h h soak in the bath three tis a day and that will be all you need to do.” Jun Wu Xie paused a mont before she continued: “But rember one thing. I will need you to keep an eye on Lord h h throughout the day during this period and if anything unexpected crops up, imdiately send soone to inform back at the Zephyr Academy. You can just get the waiter to send the food up here into the room everyday.”
Fan Zhuo nodded, and did not put up any further protest.
“Alright, we’ll do it as what you say.”
Jun Wu Xie continued with the al, restraining her eyes from showing any expression.
She did not intend to let Fan Zhuo know of Fan Qi’s death at the mont. Fan Zhuo might be highly intelligent but Fan Qi was soone that Fan Zhuo held close to his heart and ant a lot to him. Fan Zhuo had even selflessly put his own life at risk in order to protect the Fan Family’s father and son before and it was a given now he would undoubtedly rush back to the Zephyr Academy if he were to know of Fan Qi’s demise.
The actual situation in the Zephyr Academy was currently still unclear and with Fan Qi’s death, Ning Rui as the Vice Headmaster of the Zephyr Academy would hold the imdiate next highest position. If Fan Zhuo were to return at this mont, Ning Rui would undoubtedly plot to harm him. Fan Zhuo, in a situation where he would be expected to be in rage and rash in his actions, Jun Wu Xie wasn’t sure if he would be able to react accordingly.
Instead of that, she decided to first go back to the Zephyr Academy to find out more about the situation.
Jun Wu Xie had not told Fan Zhuo the entire truth about Lord h h’s condition as well. Actually, Lord h h would only need to rest another two days and it would be able to safely travel on the road. But Jun Wu Xie had needed an excuse that she could use to make Fan Zhuo remain in Chan Lin Town and Lord h h’s injuries had been the most convenient and believable excuse.
Not allowing him to leave the room and to watch over Lord h h throughout the day had been to prevent Fan Zhuo from hearing about Fan Qi’s death from other people.
Sitting opposite Jun Wu Xie, Fan Zhuo continued to eat, never at that mont would he co to think, at that very mont, his foster father was no longer living in this world.
Three days later, Jun Wu Xie bid farewell to Fan Zhuo and Lord h h, as she climbed into the horse carriage that would take her back to the Zephyr Academy.
“Ning Rui, I would really like to see just what kind of furore you have wrought upon the Zephyr Academy.” Jun Wu Xie said as her eyes narrowed to a dangerous slit.
