3258 It’s Ji Ying
After giving Auntie Qing some benefits and getting closer to her, Feng Wu would be able to ask more questions.
Now was a good time.
Feng Wu asked Auntie Qing, “Why is the Magical Equipment Division so secretive? There aren’t many people coming and going every day, are there?”
Feng Wu and Auntie Qing were the only ones in the room, so they spoke casually, as if they were just chatting.
Auntie Qing was happy to have someone beside her. In addition, Feng Wu had done her a huge favor, so Auntie Qing told her everything she knew in return.
She was quite a special figure here.
Other people had to restrain themselves from talking about certain things, but Auntie Qing didn’t.
She told Feng Wu, “We hardly ever have any visitors. Today is an exception.”
Feng Wu looked surprised. “Wow, what’s going on today? Did something good happen? Is that why more people are coming and going?”
Auntie Qing said, “I don’t know if anything good happened, but you’re definitely my good news.”
Feng Wu couldn’t let Auntie Qing digress.
She went back to the original topic. “I wonder who is the person who arrived here on the same day as me. Are they going to Imperial College?”
Auntie Qing smiled. “You’re the only new inscription master. The other two are old friends. One of them is our deputy minister.”
Feng Wu asked, “Deputy Minister? Is that the Elder Wu I saw before?”
Auntie Qing smiled and said, “We have two deputy ministers here. One is Elder Wu, who is in charge of handing out assignments. The other one is Mr. Zhao. He’s in charge of our security.”
Feng Wu said, “What? Mr. Zhao is back today?”
Auntie Qing nodded. “Anyway, he often goes back and forth. We’re used to it. I remember someone else went out today.”
Feng Wu looked at Auntie Qing.
Auntie Qing slapped her head. “Gosh, why can’t I remember?”
Feng Wu’s stomach lurched. My dear Auntie Qing, please don’t forget at such a critical moment!
She looked at Auntie Qing. “Is he an inscription master? Can he go out often? If I know who he is, I can ask him to bring me something…”
Feng Wu’s words sounded casual, but in fact, she was guiding Auntie Qing so that she could remember.
It worked!
The next moment, Auntie Qing slapped her head. “I remember who it was! It was Ji Ying!”
Ji Ying?
Why did that name sound so familiar? Feng Wu felt she had heard that name before.
Feng Wu’s stomach lurched.
“Ji Ying? Master Duanmu’s eldest disciple?” Feng Wu looked at Auntie Qing with sparkling eyes.
“You’ve heard of him too?” Auntie Qing’s inquisitive eyes lit up. “Ji Ying is very influential in our Magical Equipment Division. He’s a Level 8 inscription master and Master Duanmu’s first disciple. He has a bright future ahead of him. Are you engaged to anyone?”
Feng Wu sighed. “Auntie Qing, you’re not trying to set me up with him, are you?”
What Auntie Qing said surprised Feng Wu.
Auntie Qing looked at Feng Wu and said earnestly, “I treat you as one of us, so I’ll tell you the truth.”
Auntie Qing whispered something in Feng Wu’s ear.
Huh?
Feng Wu looked at Auntie Qing in surprise.
She hadn’t expected that. Auntie Qing had told her to be wary of Ji Ying and not to fall for him.
Feng Wu smiled wryly. Of course, she wouldn’t fall for Ji Ying, but…
“Didn’t you say Ji Ying is very popular in the Magical Equipment Division? Why…”
