Just thinking about that matter with Mu Mu gave Feng Jiu’er a headache.

Now, having to deal with Xiao Yingtao made her head hurt even more.

“If you already know it’s a secret mission, how could I just tell anyone?” Jiu’er turned her face away, avoiding her gaze.

This silly girl liked Mu Mu, while Xing Zizhou liked her — what kind of relationship was that now? A triangle? A quadrangle? Eh, what business was it of hers anyway?

“Is it really a mission?” Xiao Yingtao still found it hard to believe.

Just now, seeing the way Mu Mu looked at Feng Jiu’er, something had felt off — but then again, it seemed too unlikely.

Was she overthinking it?

“It’s a mission.” Having her look after his family heirloom counted as a mission too, didn’t it?

Feng Jiu’er exhaled, turned to look at Xiao Yingtao, and leaned her scarred face closer.

“Look at me, looking like this — could Mu Mu possibly be confessing his feelings to me? Don’t joke around.”

But Xiao Yingtao pursed her lips and said, “Actually, Jiu’er, you’re extremely good-looking. If not for this half of your face, you’d be a peerless beauty.”

Others simply hadn’t noticed, but she could see it clearly.

Thinking Feng Jiu’er was sad about her face, Xiao Yingtao took her hand and gave it a gentle shake.

“Jiu’er, don’t be sad. Maybe someday you’ll find some medicine, or meet some miracle doctor who can heal the scar on your face!”

“You keep saying I’m pretty, but really, if your scar healed, you’d be far, far more beautiful than me!”

Feng Jiu’er said nothing. Facing a girl as simple and kind-hearted as Xiao Yingtao, saying too much would only be deceiving her.

She didn’t want to lie, so she simply yawned and said hoarsely, “I’m so sleepy. Let’s hurry back to sleep — there’s training tomorrow.”

“All right.” Xiao Yingtao finally stopped dwelling on it, and happily went back with her.

But just as they stepped through the door, they saw several women in tight combat attire had appeared in the room — the senior students they’d seen on the training grounds that day.

“What’s going on?” Xiao Yingtao walked in, only to see Qin Qing in the middle of undressing.

Feng Jiu’er immediately shut the door and walked over as well.

“You two, take off your clothes too — inspection!” one of the senior students said sternly.

Feng Jiu’er immediately understood what was happening. The words she’d said to Yu Jingfeng — he really had taken them to heart.

Xiao Yingtao and Feng Jiu’er both stepped forward as well. Though somewhat shy, they removed their clothes piece by piece.

“Goodness!” Xiao Yingtao looked at Feng Jiu’er’s body and couldn’t help crying out softly. “Your skin is so beautiful, so smooth and radiant — it’s gorgeous!”

“Ahem!” One of the senior students coughed loudly.

“Ahem.” Xiao Yingtao quickly coughed too, not daring to say anything more.

Still, the eyes of several senior students were locked on Feng Jiu’er, almost unable to look away.

Fair skin with a rosy glow, crystal clear, soft and flawless — if not for the scar on her face, this girl could truly be called a beauty capable of toppling kingdoms.

Ruining such a face was truly a pity.

“Um, can I get dressed now?” Several people were staring at her body — what was the meaning of this?

“Sorry, you may dress now.” Since neither her arms nor her chest bore any wound, it meant that the injured assassin from tonight was not among them.

The senior students left, heading to inspect other rooms.

The three in the room had just finished dressing when, outside, a scream suddenly rang out. Right after, with a bang, the door of the neighboring room was kicked open, and several people burst into the courtyard…
