With the return of Lu Chao, Luo Wendeng, and the others, Wu Caicai also emerged from her room. She had barely steadied herself when a tremor ran through her body.
Lu Chao and the others looked over.
The next moment, the woman's voice from outside the courtyard rang out again: "Wu Caicai, I told you to get the hell out here."
Wu Caicai took a deep breath and began to explain in a low voice...
"That's my Second Mother, my father's second wife."
"I can't believe she's right here, near Beast Flame Academy. She must have orders from my father to drag me back for punishment."
"I... I might not be able to face the third trial alongside you all."
With that, Wu Caicai walked out, one step at a time.
Uncle Leng hesitated for a moment. Instead of following, he stopped beside Lu Chao...
"Hero Lu, Miss Caicai's mother and I... we were originally guards for this Second Mother."
"Back home, she despises the young miss and her mother more than anyone."
