He figured it out almost right away. "There's another explanation for that incident, isn't there?"
By that incident, he obviously meant the one five years ago when Feng Wu lost her cultivation ability.
Feng Wu said, "Yes…"
Grand Secretary Fang nodded. He now understood why the girl had to hide her real ability at the cost of all those insults and contempt.
It was incredible that she could be this level-headed at such a young age.
The old man liked Feng Wu even more.
"But," said Feng Wu, "Xuan Yi doesn't know about my recovery…"
Feng Wu didn't finish the sentence, but Grand Secretary Fang knew what she meant.
He nodded. "Your top priority now is to prepare for the written exam."
Grand Secretary Fang then asked the old steward to fetch a stack of exam papers, then had the servants transcribe two copies.
Meanwhile, Steward Fang was instructed by the old man to set up a couple of desks and chairs in the main hall.
