(Fourth update)
Feng Xiaotian told Huo Wushuang that someone had placed a hefty bounty on Yang Ming's assassination. In truth, he was not telling Huo Wushuang at all—he was telling Huo Wu, hoping to draw her attention and win her favor.
But as the saying went, a simp ended up with nothing.
Feng Xiaotian's actions did not catch Huo Wu's attention. She still looked as though Yang Ming had beaten her into depression, radiating an oppressive low pressure. With her head lowered, she stared relentlessly at her toes, as if there were something there worth studying.
Seeing this, Feng Xiaotian felt somewhat discouraged.
Feng Xiaotian had not liked Huo Wu for merely a day or two. Godwind Academy and Blazing Fire Academy were close together and often interacted. When he first saw Huo Wu six years ago, he had been utterly captivated and sworn that he would win over this stunningly beautiful, talented young woman.
To pursue Huo Wu, he had even set aside his pride to become friends with Huo Wushuang. And in his sparring matches with the siblings, he had never won even once.
Yet even so, Huo Wu had always remained lukewarm toward him.
This time, Feng Xiaotian should not have told Blazing Fire Academy the secret information obtained by Godwind Academy's higher-ups. Yet he had still come and told Huo Wushuang about it. His purpose was simple, even laughable: he wanted Huo Wu to see him in a different light.
Unfortunately, the falling flower had feelings, but the flowing water did not. Huo Wu never raised her head to look at him.
Yet just moments ago, when Huo Wu had fallen into Yang Ming's arms, she had worn such a bashful expression!
At that thought, Feng Xiaotian could no longer suppress the jealousy in his heart.
