Feng Yuanbai asked Chen Xu:
"Wang Ji was nearly castrated in the dungeon. Upon hearing this, did you first suspect who might be behind this incident?"
"I would guess it's the Wei Family."
"Exactly, most people would first suspect the Wei Family, and I too suspected them. But if you think deeper..." Feng Yuanbai paused slightly.
"The Wei Family might not necessarily have that capability?"
"Perhaps they do, perhaps they don't. The world is full of unexpected events, who knows?" Feng Yuanbai said, "However, things are getting more chaotic, and I fear there might be another hand behind this, taking advantage of the situation."
Chen Xu understood the implication and immediately said, "You mean, I might also become a pawn in this scheme?"
"Yes. I can't come over for the next few nights. Stay at the inn, study hard, be mindful of your meals, and don't go out casually.
If you need anything, consult your Master. We'll discuss everything after the two examinations are over.
