548: A Grandmother’s Ambition

Feng Wu wasn’t impacted by Hua Jin’s arrival at all; she still ate and slept like always. Her life was no different.

Meanwhile, Hua Jin began auditing classes for the Sword division.

The people in the Sword division was surprised and the people in the Magic division were shocked. If the information about her was correct, then she was a wood mage. Why would a wood mage audit classes in the Sword division? Hua Jin refused to explain.

So when Hua Jin stepped into Feng Wu’s class, people looked at her a bit skeptically.

“There she is! That’s Hua Jin! She’s so beautiful!”

“Definitely worthy of being the next Moon empress. She looks the part.”

“Not only is she beautiful but her background is impeccable as well.”

“That’s right, Miss Hua Jin is the current Moon empress’s niece. I heard Miss Hua Jin grew up in the palace.”

“Children who grow up in palaces are different; their temperaments are so noble.”

Hua Jin was a golden thigh they wanted to hug. They would regret it if they didn’t use the opportunity now to build up a relationship with her. Many people in the Sword division began hovering around her for just this reason. Even a few people from the Magic division came over.

They were all there for her, so Hua Jin made sure to always give them a dignified and polite smile. It was the noble bearing of the future Moon empress.

Hua Jin’s arrival made the atmosphere in class a little strange. Some people wished they could be around her all day so they could build up a relationship with her. Hua Jin wasn’t from a top ranked house, but because she was the current Moon empress’s niece and because she was engaged to the future Moon emperor, her status was higher than most of the noble girls on campus.

Others were indifferent. They weren’t concerned about her status as the future Moon empress because it had nothing to do with them.

Ink belonged to the latter group and did not try to get close to her. Other than a couple of times that first day she arrived when he looked out of curiosity, he hadn’t paid her any attention.

Feng Wu chatted with Ming Xi as was her routine every day. Their conversations would occasionally mention Hua Jin, but it wasn’t anything unusual. It was just like talking about a stranger.

Ming Xi would occasionally ask about Hua Jin just to know what she was doing around Feng Wu. Based on her sudden appearance, Ming Xi suspected she already knew about him and Xiao Wu. He was afraid she had bad intentions.

He didn't know what she wanted to do, but if she dared do anything to hurt Xiao Wu he wouldn’t let her off even if their grandmother spoke on her behalf.

His maternal grandmother was not a simple woman. He was certain Hua Jin knowing about Feng Wu had something to do with their grandmother.

He knew from early on as a young child that his grandmother was a fierce woman with high ambitions.

She often entered the palace to accompany him when he was a child. His mother thought it was because she loved him very much and was simply bonding with her beloved grandson.

Sadly, that was not the case. The reality was she was doing it so he would form a habit of obeying her. She was essentially grooming him to be her puppet. This way when he became the Moon emperor in the future, she would be able to use him as a puppet emperor and rule the country herself. It was a beautiful plan on her part.

However, his father discovered her scheme early on and prevented her from influencing him by raising him personally. This prevented his grandmother from getting too close and influencing him. Out of consideration for his mother, his father refrained from attacking his grandmother.

If his grandmother hadn’t given birth to such a wonderful woman, and if the woman wasn’t the Moon empress, he was afraid his grandmother would have died ten deaths without knowing it.

But even if his grandmother did have the chance to influence him, as a god descendent, he matured much faster than a normal person. She would not have succeeded.

She had failed to manipulate him, so now she wanted to support Hua Jin to be the next Moon empress and manipulate things that way. Ming Xi laughed coldly twice.

He didn’t know where is grandmother got the courage to think she could control the royal family but he was amazed and disgusted she had such thoughts.

How did a such a wildly ambitious woman give birth to such a kind-hearted and sweet woman like his mother?

On the other hand, his aunt’s temperament was very similar to his grandmother’s. Neither his father nor he could figure out why. They could only assume a good sprout sprang from bad soil.

While Ming Xi as was thinking about his maternal relatives, Hua Jin was busy befriending people with status in Xingguang Holy academy, one in particular being Zi Cheng.

As the heroine in the original novel, it was easy for the friendly Zi Cheng to leave a good impression on people and get their favor. The proud and arrogant Hua Jin was no exception.

Hua Jin was happy to be friends with Zi Cheng when she learned Yifu, who was often by Zi Cheng’s side, hated Feng Wu. If she played it right, Yifu would be a sharp sword she could use to achieve her goal. It would save her the trouble of scouting potential candidates.

The days went by and before anyone knew it a month had passed. Things were peaceful at school, but Jier felt it was the calm before the storm. No way Hua Jin came to their school just to study. That's like saying a drunk wouldn’t be interested in drinking.

At this time, the teacher announced there would be a three-day field trip for class tomorrow. It was basically off-campus combat experience. The sword master class was full of sword users, their skills would rust and their natural talents would be destroyed if they remained indoors all the time.

They needed combat experience to develop and grow.

Hua Jin had been waiting for an opportunity to take care of Feng Wu. Who would have expected her chance would come so soon.

Early the next morning, Feng Wu handed Little Bun to the vice principal to babysit. He was smiling from ear to ear as he held Little Bun and the smile got bigger each time he hugged Little Bun tight to his chest.

Because he was always so happy to take care of Little Bun, Feng Wu assumed he liked children very much. It wasn’t just Feng Wu, a lot of other people who saw him be a free daddy thought so too.

Little did they know the vice principal’s real motivations.
