Of course, if someone didn't have eyes and bumped into them, he'd also love to see and hear about it.
Nangong Lie turned a little on the bed. He placed his hands behind his head and dissolutely laughed.
Like, for example, a 'little kitten' who wasn't afraid of death, hee hee.
He's really looking forward to it, this glorious life in the academy…..
On the second day, the first rays of morning sun brushed upon the face as willows formed the shade. All of the young misses who needed to wake up early to start the first class gave orders to their maids. Draw water, wash their faces. Draw water, wash their faces.
"Hey, have you guys heard?"
"What?"
"Allegedly, last night, a female s.e.x.u.a.l predator entered the men's bathing complex and almost forced herself upon a young lord?"
Helian Wei Wei was in the middle of raising her head to gargle. After hearing these words, she choked.
"Cough, cough cough!"
When did she ever almost force herself upon him?
He was clearly the one who got fresh with her, alright?
"Don't know how that woman had the gall, too frightening!"
Helian Wei Wei : "..."
Actually, what's frightening were those guys who congregated around them over the excitement. Everyone was saying it was a female s.e.x.u.a.l predator.
"In addition, I heard that the woman was big and tall, and ought to be tough and stocky, having a tiger's back and a bear's waist, ahhh!"
Helian Wei Wei: "….." She shouldn't be considered stocky, right?
"Then after that, what happened afterwards?"
"Afterwards, that young lord screamed loudly 'molested' which scared the girl off. This really is so thrilling!"
"Pffffft!" Wei Wei honestly couldn't hold it in anymore. She pictured that guy wrapping his hands to cover his c.h.e.s.t and laughed until both shoulders started to tremble. Mm hmm, this indeed was very riveting!
The servants and their masters alike looked at each other. In fact, they didn't know what this person could be laughing at and only assumed that she was excited.
Even though she was similarly a young miss from the Defense Division, her younger sister had entered the enviable "Superior Compound", while she herself stayed at the "Inferior Compound".
Those girls didn't care about being assigned here. After all, it was expected because of their birth origins. Also because they only recently entered White Academy, they were prepared early on in their hearts to live within the 'Inferior Compound'.
At White Academy, there was definitely no shortage of ranking officials' sons and rich families' daughters. Any random person could be some ninth ranked provincial commander's son or a royal tutor at the capital's daughter.
People like them who came from distant small villages were only regarded as a bunch of "common people" by those privileged people.
On the other hand, this Helian Family's Oldest Young Miss clearly belonged to the lineage of one of the four great clans, yet had fallen down to the same level as them.
Dong!
The ancient wood forcefully started to strike at the metal bell suspended in the middle of the courtyard. That deep and profound sound reminded all the students that the new class was about to start.
At White Academy, a huge hall that was constructed within every courtyard. The floors of the halls were laid with ancient wooden planks and incense were lighted within. There was the feel of tradition everywhere.
When Helian Wei Wei arrived at the hall, it was already filled with people sitting inside. Her eyes lifted and looked into the distance. The disorderly group of students were as noisy as middle schoolers starting school in the 21st century.
Unlike other people, she chose a seat towards the very back. That seat was the best. It had good natural lighting shining upon her body, and was great for sleeping, as well as very suitable for her to secretly slip into the Celestial Boundary Space to cultivate. She used one hand to prop up her cheek while her elbow rested on the desk top. She sat on a thick piled area rug and was feeling rather comfortable and enjoying herself.
Except that this enjoyment didn't last for very long, because she had barely sat down when the sound of laughter arrived by her ear. Words can't express the arrogance that that laugh contained, which seemed to convey that just by speaking, it was already doing her such a big favor.
"I even thought that I was mistaken just now. Couldn't believe that it's really that love struck good-for-nothing who pestered my cousin and won't let go. Hey guys, look at how she looks, so poor that she isn't even able to afford to buy a coat, ha ha ha!"
His jeers very quickly drew the attention of people from all sides.
Wei Wei's eyes closed for a moment, then extended her hand to clean out her own ears, as carefree as can be. It seemed like whatever the other person said wasn't related to her at all.
It's precisely her attitude of not being bothered in the least which made him even angrier!
To think that as the dignified son of the governor of the Eastern Mountain Province, no matter where he went, everyone would fawn over him. Yet this good-for-nothing unexpectedly looked down on him like this, not even sparing him a glance.
Zhang Shi Jie immediately stopped smiling. His face was sullen as a right palm struck at the low desk Wei Wei was leaning on, and left a hand print on top of it. That handprint's form was very special. A layer of fine dust floated around it.
The new students heavily let out a mouthful of air and quietly commented, "It's someone from the Clear Void Sect!"
"That hand print looked like it should be their sect's exclusive martial skill, Dragon Descent Claw! Look how powerful it is! If this kind of palm landed on someone's body, it would definitely cause severe wounds, if not death."
When hearing the three words Dragon Descent Claw, Wei Wei's eyes narrowed. She studied the jerk in front of her for a bit. Seemed like he was the one who executed this martial technique. She suddenly realized that she had almost forgotten this sc.u.m.
The Zhang family's social standing had declined for generations, so their current generation didn't receive her Grandfather's favor.
Not even waiting until her mother's burial, this Zhang Shi Jie and her biological father defected at the critical time and joined the Su family's side. Then they even turned around to bite her mother, spreading lies that she was not tolerant and that she harassed the concubine in every way. Her mother was upset. However, she passed away very early on without being able to do anything…..
Who could have imagined, a little boy at the mere age of eight, could tell lies almost more poisonous than poison itself.
While all the people in the capital ridiculed her mother, he was delightedly accepting rewards from the Su family. He was malicious to the extent that once, when she wasn't careful and merely bumped into him, he kicked her, then used Dragon Descent Claw to attack her back.
Huuu, really is a twenty year old professional pimp.
As Helian Wei Wei recalled past events, the ends of her lips abruptly curved up into a dangerous arc…..
Chapter 28 - Escape From Calamity
When Zhang Shi Jie saw that she hadn't reacted for a long time, he laughed out loud again, "Ha, ha, look you guys, this good-for-nothing was intimidated by me to this extent. She really is such a poor thing….."
As Zhang Shi Jie was mocking, he just really wanted to grab Helian Wei Wei's hair and to ferociously tug it downwards!
However, before his hand had the chance to touch her hair, in front of him, her entire body shot outwards. His hand and wrist then became contorted almost to an unimaginable degree as his bones and joint became locked in the wrong places; only the sound of bones breaking was heard!
The right hand that Zhang Shi Jie most proud of was broken!
Nobody saw her movements clearly. By the time they reacted, Wei Wei had already grabbed Zhang Shi Jie's wrist. Her smile still remained on her lips, like a empress who emerged victorious from within
the smoke of a fierce battle.
Everybody was stupefied. It seemed like the air had solidified. They didn't know when the surrounding noise had died down.
Zhang Shi Jie only gasped in shock and looked unbelievably at Wei Wei. The pain was so much that his face was covered in cold sweat. He lifted his left hand intending to fight back…..
Crack crack!
Again, another loud and clear sound!
Wei Wei smiled and looked at him with narrowed eyes, "Such an ill-behaved dog claw. It would be better if it was removed."
"Arghhh!" Zhang Shi Jie screamed out loud painfully. The kind of pain caused by broken bones which bore into flesh and blood, made the color on his face to drain instantly into the whitest of white. No longer maintaining any appearances, he prostrated on the ground and howled, "What are you motherf*****s doing still standing there stunned, help this lord out!"
At this time, the young lads who were following behind Zhang Shi Jie finally reacted. They immediately came over and split their legs in a horizontal kick!
There were about four to five people. Everyone possessed Martial Qi and attacked viciously. Their long legs cutting through the air, no normal person would be able to go against them.
However, Helian Wei Wei wasn't a normal person. She was the Queen of Mercenaries with the most outstanding battle prowess. Didn't matter if it was the underworld or the side of justice, nobody dared to directly face off against her!
Looking at the legs cutting air coming head-on, Wei Wei curved her lips into a smile. Her body was like a dragon shuttling back and forth in between the crowd of people as she grabbed the wrist of a person among them and powerfully tugged…
Crack crack!
During the time the sound of broken bones bursted forth, one of Wei Wei's foot tapped off on a low table and abruptly flipped her body over. Her long hair flew in a dance while her white leg raised up. In a flash, she quickly struck down on top of a long leg coming at her!
In terms of ruthlessness, who could be more ruthless than the Empress of Mercenaries!
"Still want to fight?" She laughed coldly as rays of light shone behind her. One hand grabbing the back of someone's neck and one foot stepped on Zhang Shi Jie's back. Her entire body emitted a magnificent aura bright enough to almost burn through people's eyes.
On the ground jumbled the tangled mess of young lads. Numerous people towards the back stepped away. Completely panic-stricken faces looked at Wei Wei, fearful that she might attack again. Finally, those who fell flat on their faces got up and anxiously escaped from the hall. They tucked their heads to one side and ran with their tails between their legs, while screaming threats at the same time, "You..You better watch out!"
The rest of the new students inside the hall looked at their appearance and roared out in laughter.
Wei Wei acted like nothing had happened and simply picked up the book from the floor, blew off the dust, placed it in the compartment under the low table, continued to lie down as she closed her eyes and rested.
There was still time until the teacher's arrival. Barely a moment's time had passed, yet students from the Inferior Compound already caused such a ruckus.
Zhang Shi Jie held his own wrist and forcefully swore, "Damn that good-for-nothing!"
"Brother Jie, how about we don't go looking for trouble from her anymore." There was a young lad who suggested, "White Academy is not like other schools. If we cause trouble, we'll be expelled from the academy."
Zhang Shi Jie was indignant, "You mean to say that this Young Master should bear with it?"
"But you clearly can't win her in a fight….." Several lads whispered quietly. They began to regret helping him out.
Zhang Shi Jie also realized that his own angry words were wrong and lowered his voice, "What are you guys afraid of, I've got the backing of the Defense Division."
"Isn't Helian Wei Wei also someone from the Defense Division side?" A lad who didn't understand furrowed his brows.
Zhang Shi Jie looked left and right, voice muted, "Ah, ah, how could she be regarded as the someone from the General's side? Why don't you go and ask around who the current head is. A good-for-nothing who dared to attend White Academy simply is courting death!"
"Brother Jie's meaning is that somebody wanted her ..."
Zhang Shi Jie called out, "You guys don't need to guess. Immediately have this master's hand fixed well. After this matter has been taken care of, you guys won't be short on benefits!"
"Ai!" hose lads, after hearing the words 'Defense Division' early on, their eyes had already shined. Now that they also heard they'll obtain benefits, they immediately helped Zhang Shi Jie treat his wounds, "Still, this Wei Wei is very strange. She obviously doesn't have even a bit of Qi. How could she be so dangerous? Even Brother Jie was not her opponent."
Having heard that, Zhang Shi Jie's face dropped down, "It's because today, this Master's condition wasn't good. Sooner or later, I'll settle this fight again!"
As if the anger couldn't be held back, he used force to kick away the rock under his foot!
Zhang Shi Jie was still blabbering and swearing, when all the other lads looked like they saw some extremely fearful thing. Everybody's distorted and scared face looked absolutely unsightly. Their mouth gaped open and stammeringly called, "Bro.. Brother Jie."
"What now?"
Zhang Shi Jie looked up fiercely and saw that beneath the shade not far away was the shadow of a person.
That shadow looked like it just woke up. Fine black hairs were still sticking up. The pure white tunic was marred by a leaf. A man standing next to him casually threw away the stone in his hand, impolitely smiling maliciously.
Even though Zhang Shi Jie was born in the Eastern Mountain Province, the time he spent at the capital was even more than at his native home. For the most part, he got along with the circle of people at the capital, usually as a lackey the same way he followed around behind Murong Chang Feng. Also with Concubine Su's support, intentionally or not, he was acquainted with not a small number of powerful young lords at the capital. Yet, he obviously had not seen these two people before. Therefore, he didn't care and immediately ferociously glared back, "What's there to look at, never seen an angry person before? Hmph!"
Having heard these words, the shadow of a person slowly raised his head and took a look at Zhang Shi Jie. It was only one look, yet it made Zhang Shi Jie lose the strength to move.
What kind of a look was that, so cold as to be heartless, much like an emissary from hell out to capture escaped spirits. Made people tremble in their hearts.
Nobody saw clearly how he moved, they only saw a white flash before their eyes. When they were able to react, the shadow of a person already arrived before Zhang Shi Jie. Strands of hair danced in front of his forehead, his posture free and unrestrained, his contours impressive. The spirit in his eyes was like a m.a.t.u.r.e leopard's, close to having no feeling, all emotions hidden.
Zhang Shi Jie subconsciously raised his hand to block, but discovered that the opponent's inner force was far above his own. He was hurled backward stiffly and tumbled to the ground!
Crack!
Only one clear burst of sound was heard as the shadow's leg casually stepped on Zhang Shi Jie's calf. Then as calm as still winds and floating clouds, he moved away, as if the person on the ground in fact was not worth wasting any bit of his effort on.
Chapter 29 - Caught Her
Silence, dead silence!
All the people who were present were looking unbelievably at this scene, their facial expressions were phenomenally brilliant.
A second later, as if they had found their breath once again, their eyes were filled with unspeakable astonishment.
"Dammit, my leg!" Zhang Shi Jie cried from the pain, rolling around on the floor. His arm reached out, wanting someone to lift him up.
Yet none of them dared to move, because the other devilish man had his hands on their shoulders, casually smiling, " Come, tell this big brother where the person w
ho has beaten you guys to a pulp is?"
The nobles cried out in their hearts [When did they get beaten to a pulp?! Well…they were really almost beaten to a pulp.]
After that, numerous complaints and groans filled the air.
Nangong Lie squinted his fox-like eyes, " She actually hid in the Hall." The moment the words fell, he turned towards a distant shadow standing on the lawn and shouted, "Hey, Ah Jue, why don't we go to class and see."
"Not going." The silhouette closed his eyes, the first glimmer of dawn shining upon his thin lips, as if covered by a layer of iced diamonds. This made his already flawless features to dazzle brighter than the sun.
Nangong Lie continued to shout, "Think through it first, the little kitten might be there."
The silhouette raised his hand and took the manuscript that was covering his face off. His nail glittering as he played with the exquisite ornamental ring on his thumb, his unrestrained and evil lips slowly lifted up to form a smile that made people tremble in fear.
At this moment, Helian Wei Wei who was laying on a low table in the Hall, was hiding from the Grandmaster who had just walked in. Stuffing some strawberries into her mouth and to make sure she absorbed all the nutrition from the strawberries, she fell asleep in a daze.
In any case, from experience and normally, the first day of school wouldn't be about any important themes, probably only self-introductions. It wouldn't matter if she skipped it.
Helian Wei Wei was right. Wearing his old robe, his hand holding a ruler, the Master introduced himself. However, before he could finish, he frowned and said, " Silence, our courtyard will be welcoming two new students temporarily." While continuing, he looked over to the door, his eyes filled with elderly annoyance, "Come in."
The moment the long statures walked in, it was as if all the air had been snatched away by them. Such peerless elegance clad in a jade coloured robe and a white shirt, with jet black hair like the smoothest silk, rebelling against orthodoxy and yet extremely luxurious.
