Suddenly, he smiled, an arrogant smile, causing people to tremble " The most important thing in preying is the process. If the prey is easy to catch, then it wouldn't be interesting, haha….."
When he laughed it made all the hair on Nangong Lie stood up.
[This…..you don't have to do this right, I mean if you just killed her because you feel bad, then everything would end. But you want to 'play' with her…..Looks like Ah Jue has made up his mind to 'play' with the kitten, Helian Household's Miss, you have to hold on!]
"Ahchoo! Ahchoo! Ahchoo!"
Even though she couldn't become a genius that everyone envied in one night, at least she could regain her Profound Qi, so she no longer would be a waste!
Helian Wei Wei breathed in the fresh air from the ancient times. When she was just about to go into the space to pick some strawberries to fill her stomach, she heard an ear-piercing voice filled with sarcasm.
"Second sister, I've heard someone shamelessly went to the Armament Master Assembly, and was chased out by Tu Lao, the scene was quite interesting!"
It was Helian Mei, she was cutting from while eyeing Helian Wei Wei, her gaze was bright with disdain.
"Third Sister!" Helian Jiao Er lightly scolded her, her jade like hands pressed down Helian Mei "You must not speak like this in front of anyone, you should be careful or someone would bite back, and say you're bullying her."
Both of Helian Mei's eyes widened "She dares! A waste thinking of becoming a genius, Second Sister you don't know right, the White Academy sent a letter, I think, in three days someone's name would be removed! Does she really think that just because she has the Helian Family's blood in her, she can do whatever she wants, Bah! She's just dirt on the ground, not like Second Sister, the real one and only genius!"
"That's not true, don't say that." Helian Jiao Er replied modestly, but her eyes was shining with arrogance.
Helian Wei Wei was still thinking how Helian Jiao Er could act this much, a man wearing luxurious clothing was drinking tea not far from them, ha…..no wonder, there's an outsider here.
"I was telling the truth." Helian Mei shouted, then she looked at Helian Wei Wei with disdain "From what I see, I fear that a certain someone can't even gather the school fee!"
Helian Jiao Er acted as if she doesn't understand " Mother always give Big Sister with everything that she needs, how can she not have money to pay the school fees?"
"She used all her money on her flashy clothes, duh!" Helian Mei she huffed with dislike.
From the beginning, Helian Wei Wei didn't say anything, just leisurely throwing strawberries into her mouth, the corner of her mouth curved into a cold yet alluring smile.
This made the two people who were acting, scrunched up their brows, what's wrong with this bitch, usually in the past, she would already threw a tantrum, and yet today, she's quite….
"Hey, Helian Wei Wei! Do you not hear us talking to you!" Helian Mei could not bear her anger anymore!
Helian Wei Wei raised her hand, totally unconcerned while blowing her fingers, unhurriedly said" Third Sister, who taught you to talk to me like this? You have to treat the oldest sister the same way you treat your mother, how can you not understand such a simple logic? Or is it that other than teaching you how to steal other people's husband, she didn't teach you anything else?"
"YOU!" Helian Mei irritably snap the flower that she was holding in half "Do you want to die bitch, talking about me like that!"
Helian Wei Wei looked at her, coldness flashed by her eyes "Bitch?"
"Third Sister!" Helian Jiao Er pulled Helian Mei away when she saw the situation, with a soft voice " Restrain your temper, someone is still watching."
Helian Mei took a deep breath, glared at Helian Wei Wei, "Just you wait, I'm going to 'play' with you until you're dead!"
Helian Wei Wei lazily yawned, she's not even worried about the threat from Helian Mei.
As for Helian Mei she was so furious that she threw away the broken flower, wanting to punch someone!
Before she could even raise her arm, she was shocked by the scene in front of her!
"Where did all these bees come from!" Helian Mei pulled a servant in front of her "Get them away from me!"
The servant was also scared, the huge amount of bees, their wings buzzing as they circled around Helian Mei like a black cloud!
"The flowers! Young Miss just cut the flowers!"
"Who asked you this, ah! My face! Damn bees!"
As Helian Mei screamed, Helian Jiao Er start to panic, she was not rushing to save her, but instead was worried about herself, with this amount of bees, if she got targeted, it would be awful!
In an instant, the whole Residence's garden was in a hysteria, only Helian Wei Wei was calm. It was quite chaotic all around, however, not one bee flew over to her.
"Yuan Ming, don't end the show too quickly, it's not interesting…." as Wei Wei was talking, she was smiling charmingly.
Chapter 14 - Ghost Palace Bears Grudges
Yuan Ming was extremely excited, "Girl, this plan you've thought up is a bit ruthless, but, this venerable one likes it, ha ha ha ha!"
"It's good if you like it." Helian Wei Wei's tone was indifferent as she retracted her gaze, turned around and strolled over to her own dwelling.
Yuan Ming rubbed and rubbed his chin, "If they knew that not only did you not get kicked out, and instead, you even won one hundred thousand silvers, who knows what expression those two stupid people would reveal?"
"True, who knows . . . . ." The tip of Wei Wei's tongue licked over her thin lips, she indescribably appeared like a bloodthirsty demoness.
Yuan Ming laughed while his tilted face was propped up, ha ha, he looked forward to it. . . . . really looked forward to it. . . . . .
"Minister Helian, is this your family's eldest miss?" The one who was talking was a man with a commanding demeanor sitting next to Helian Guang Yao, this man was none other than the one who just came out of closed door meditation, Nangong Lie. He gently turned the white jade tea cup in his hand, he pondered over something as a glint quickly flashed in his eyes.
But the impatient Helian Guang Yao did not discover it, and he even thought Nangong Lie came today to prosecute her, he asked with an especially respectful attitude, "High Priest is laughing at us, this daughter of mine has a rude temper, doesn't understand manners, and even offended Third Prince. In my opinion, she should be thrown into the dungeons and be properly disciplined!"
Having heard that, Nangong Lie's long, narrow, clear, and bright phoenix eyes bent into a tepid sneer, everyone said that Helian Guang Yao was benevolent towards people and an outstanding person that was hard to come by. Yet, he truly hadn't previously met someone who, for their own sake, would throw their own daughter into the fiery pit of hell.
Ahh, it seemed that rumors really could not be believed.
Nangong Lie flicked his sleeve, put down the teacup that he was holding, and replied, "Minister Helian, it appears you're being too s.e.n.s.i.t.i.v.e, His Highness frankly did not intend to accuse Miss Helian." It'd be a wonder if that family would seek revenge just for an angry look! "However, I just overheard the Misses Helian talking, seemed like they mentioned White Academy. What happened, was Miss Helian preparing to enter?" If this was really true, then there would be a good play to watch, he remembered that Ah Jue (Nangong Lie's endearing way of calling Baili Jia Jue) had also agreed to return to the academy. When that time comes, ahh …..
Helian Guang Yao didn't understand why Nangong Lie suddenly laughed such a devilish laugh, hearing him talk of White Academy, he intuitively thought that the one Nangong Lie asked about was Helian Mei, the daughter who he loved. He pretended to gently stroke his beard, yet he still couldn't hide the satisfaction that hearing those words brought him, "I didn't think that the High Priest had heard of this matter. My daughter has no talent, however, my friends in the capitol had been spreading the news, I am really ashamed, ashamed ahh!"
When Nangong Lie heard these wor
ds, he knew Helian Guang Yao misunderstood who was the person he was actually referring to. However, Nangong Lie still didn't explain further, and just laughed devilishly and held the tea cup again. The corners of his lips slowly curved up, whatever the misunderstanding may be, it's not important, what's important was, in order to seduce Ah Jue's little 'kitten', it's necessary to know she if would be living in the same compound. Sure enough, it's the movement of the Red Phoenix Star. It's impossible to avoid that star even if one wanted to, ahh, things were progressing more and more interestingly. . . . .
At the other side, in the neglected courtyard, Helian Wei Wei had already handed over the silvers and was looking at the correspondence that White Academy quickly delivered to her, her willowy eyebrows lifted.
"Admissions Notice"?
What the heck was this?
"Congratulations, you've already obtained the qualifications to enter White Academy. Students who received this letter, please prepare the following supplies within the next few days: a white long robe, a nationally accepted tall student hat, also, a silver fox fur outer wrap as well as school necessities such as inkstones and writing brushes. . . . ."
The corners of Wei Wei's mouth twitched, "What kind of admission notice is this, this is just to extort us again, to make us bring our own school uniform and writing materials."
In regards to Wei Wei restarting anew the "life of a student", she didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"White Academy. . . . . this name brought a person many cherished memories." Yuan Ming sighed from the side, with a look that said, "I have stories to tell, quickly ask me about them."
Wei Wei decided to give him some face, curved her lips in a smile, "You also know of White Academy?"
"Of course I do!" Yuan Ming's wildly arrogant voice was filled with pride, "Recalling that year, this venerable one actually beat up a lot of the students!"
Wei Wei: ". . . . . "
Ahh ahh, this really was happy news worth hearing . . . . . .rubbish!
She needed to think it over carefully, did she want to bring Yuan Ming there, she was afraid someone would not be able to hold back and might impulsively beat Yuan little Ming to death!
"If you go to White Academy, don't forget to sneak into their Battle Spirit Forces, that branch of defense guard squad was still very good." Yuan Ming convinced Wei Wei in all seriousness.
She rarely saw this kind of expression from him, so couldn't help but feel interested, "Hmm? How were they good?"
"Their mess hall was great!" Yuan Ming licked and licked his lips, "I used to patronize it often."
Wei Wei . . . . .
She was crazy to have thought he was being respectable!
"Also, I remembered that students who entered the Battle Spirit Forces, were able to have their academy tuition waived." Yuan Ming propped up his chin, his eyes narrowed in recollection. . . .
Wei Wei suddenly raised her head, she wore a smile on her mouth, "That really sounds like a great defense guard squad, we should join it!"
Yuan Ming's mouth twitched, "Don't tell me, you were targeting the free tuition."
"Compared to you, who only focused on their food, this pursuit of mine is comparatively much loftier." Wei Wei lazily grasped a strawberry and put it in her mouth, asked, "What kind of defense guard squad was that? I should gain a better understanding."
Yuan Ming's brows lifted up, perversely looked at her, "It would be useless even if you tried to know of them."
"Why?" Wei Wei lightly smiled, "You don't believe in my strength?"
Yuan Ming wagged his finger, "This has nothing to do with strength. These defense guard troops has always been very mysterious, they're not controlled by anyone, to the extent of not having to obey the king's command. Apart from recruiting amazing people with outstanding natural talents, they also regard an individual's cultivation level as being important. No one in the Divine Continent knew who they were specifically, but every empire knew that those troops were hidden within White Academy. Maybe they could be the academy's old janitors, or maybe they were weapons master teachers. Regardless, the people they selected all belonged to ill.u.s.trious noble families in the capital. How about you? Based on what I know, how did that father of yours treat you?"
Wei Wei laughed in a low voice, turned her head around, a bit of light flashed in her eyes, "Yuan Ming, have you heard of a saying among us humans."
"What?" Yuan Ming lifted his head.
Wei Wei directly declared an adage, "The river of fortune flows East. In ten years, the river may yet flow West. Don't! Look down upon! Impoverished youths!"
These declarations seemed to cause all the glory to gather upon her body, her sleeves fluttering, shining bright throughout the skies!
Yuan Ming perceived that it seemed like all the blood within the body of the woman standing in front of him was heated up. He had no choice but to admit that maybe having been contracted to her wasn't so bad. . . . .
At dusk, as a gentle wind stroked her face, Wei Wei, for the purpose of buying the things mentioned on the "admission notice", popped strawberries into her mouth and left early.
She was a Miss who didn't receive her family's affection, even so, she's doing well. At least, she was carrying on leisurely, without anyone bothering her.
Don't know if it was because school was about to begin, all the fancy horse carriages were carrying young masters and misses to buy heaps of expensive long robes and tall hats, to the extent that many fabric shops closed to business due to a shortage of inventory. Wei Wei strolled for a long time without having made purchases to her satisfaction, so she decided to rest her feet. However, without waiting for her to reach Phoenix Inn, a horse carriage had stopped in front and blocked her . . . . .
Chapter 15 - Good-For-Nothing Genius
That horse carriage was entirely out of the ordinary. It was luxurious, pure white, with vaguely discernable gold sparkles.
"Ah, is there something wrong with my eyesight? A good for nothing also came to buy a school hat?"
The Helian Mei who was recently stung by bees had just stepped down from the carriage when her eyes opened wide, mockingly said, "Father, quickly come look, Oldest Sister also wants to attend White Academy, don't know if she'll be driven away!"
Helian Guang Yao also stepped out of the carriage, after seeing Helian Wei Wei, he creased his eyebrows, it seemed like even taking a glance at her disgusted him. "What are you doing still standing there, want to lose face? Go back!"
"Father, calm down." Helian Jiao Er looked up, eyes brimming with tears "Elder Sister, how did you follow us all the way here? Is it because Master Murong is also with us?
Standing beside her, was Murong Chang Feng, the sleeves of his robe fluttered, with an elegant demeanor, shifted his gaze to sweep past the dark skinned woman, slowly knitted his brows, unable to conceal his disgust, "This Lord would also like to know what this is about."
"From what I see, Eldest Sister has followed Master Murong all this way, pestering him like a ghost that's unable to let go! Why doesn't she make use of her time to reflect on all the embarrassing things that she had done? What man would place her in his eyes? Maybe if he was blind!
Helian Mei purposely shouted the ridicule in public, almost everyone at the big market street who saw started moving towards them in curiosity.
Having heard the last sentence, a shadow in the distance stood up, a head covered by cold sweat lifted; his eyes glanced at the side of his Master's face.
The man slowly turned the black jade ring on his finger. Within his deep cold eyes, there was neither a trace of joy, nor anger.
[May Buddha protect you, his Highness did not hear those words; he definitely did not hear it . . . Nonsense! That woman yelled, "blind", and yelled so loudly, he heard it all, how could Master not hear it!]
"I say, Eldest Sister, are you still unable to let go of your feelings towards Master Murong? Helian Mei glanced at her, "Will you wake up? The one his noble one likes is Second Sister. In what w
ay can you compare to Second Sister? You came out for so long and still haven't bought anything, isn't it because of not having enough money? Ha ha, spend more time looking at your own poor appearance in the mirror. Don't always spend your entire day dreaming about flying on a branch to become a Phoenix."
Helian Wei Wei crossed her hands, from the beginning till now, she hadn't opened her mouth. Only when Helian Mei shut her mouth, did she slowly raise the corners of her mouth, "Have you guys finished talking?"
What Helian Mei couldn't stand the most was the way she brushed everything away like light they were nothing. She could only let out grunt with a "humph".
"Since you guys are done talking, then it's my turn to speak." Helian Wei Wei took a step forward, the sides of her mouth curled up into a sneer. She then reached out to hold Helian Mei's chin and lifted it up with her slender finger. "Who told you that I followed you guys here? Eldest Sister only came to the market to buy some things. Rather, didn't you guys truly view yourselves too importantly? As for admiring Murong Chang Feng, you guys can quickly take him away . . . the kind of guy who only grew the lower half of his body without developing his brain, this Sister is disgusted at the sight."
"You, you, how dare you talk that way about him ! " Helian Mei shook all over in anger, pointed at Helian Wei Wei.
Murong Chang Feng was even angrier, his handsome face completely distorted. This wretched woman, said what of him?! – A man who only grew his lower half without developing his brain?
Who was it that followed behind him all day? Now came this change in behavior; was this her new trick?
The current Murong Chang Feng was dying to split open Helian Wei Wei with one sword thrust. He had never been like this before, detesting someone so much!
"Young Noble....." Helian Jiao Er discovered that from the moment the s.l.u.t appeared, all of Murong Chang Feng's attention was entirely drawn away. How could that be allowed!
She extended her hand, firmly tugged Murong Chang Feng's clothes; gently bit her small lips, looking pitiable with red eye rims, "I beg Young Noble to not argue with Eldest Sister. It's only because she can't do without Young Noble and wanted to make Young Noble turn his heart and change his mind . . . . . "
