The Aloof Girl?

Gongsun Qing darted a glance at them in a nonchalant manner, gave them a little nod, then went back to her cultivation.

Soon, Tao Shuang and the others struck up a conversation with the Shi siblings.

Shi Xun asked, "Hey, do you remember Feng Wu, that top student in the written exam? Maybe she'll be the dark horse of the physical tryout."

"Hahahaha —"

Tao Shuang and the others guffawed.

Shi Xun frowned. "Why are you laughing?"

Tao Shuang said, "You're not from the imperial capital, so you probably don't know this: Feng Wu lost her cultivation ability for good."

"But hasn't she recovered after so many years?"

"Of course not. How can one recover a lost ability? Feng Wu is going to spend the rest of her life a cripple, but she just won't accept it. She just had to force her way into this exam. Is she asking for humiliation or what?"
