Wei Wei's thin lips turned down. He deserved to be Third Prince. She even thought that he would be mislead by those shadow's words for a few minutes. She didn't expect that he would react so quickly to immediately realize that she wasn't at the outhouse at all and had already escaped instead.
He's indeed not easy to handle.
However, want to catch her by only relying on these imperial guards?
She reckoned they were all busy with going to block all the doors and gates, and simply hadn't considered that she'd never planned to leave at the moment.
Without bringing along her 'front', it'd be useless for her to go to that armament conference.
She needed to first meet with fellow student, Hei Ze, for her to succeed.
The person relaying the news should've brought her message to Hei Ze by now. It always took some effort for these young lords to get dressed...
However, shouldn't she have Little White make use of his magic to summon a spirit beast in advance? Otherwise, to go to such distant a place as the summit by the sea in a regular horse carriage would require a minimum of ten days. By that time, the armament conference would've ended already...
Right when Wei Wei closed her eyes to think of this matter, a person suddenly caught and pulled her from behind, a faint scent of sandalwood penetrated the tip of her nose...
Chapter 96 - His Highness Is Even Better
Helian Wei Wei turned her head and looked over, her shapely eyebrows creased. It was unexpectedly Murong Chang Feng.
How did this sc.u.m of a man appear here?
"You even said you've let go of my young master, didn't you come looking for him in the middle of the night."
The tone of the boy servant's words made Wei Wei laugh coldly. She didn't speak and immediately pushed away Murong Chang Feng's hand.
If the night wasn't so dark, all of the mockery in her eyes would certainly be inadvertently exposed.
Murong Chang Feng didn't anticipate that he'd be pushed away. His fingers became stiff all at once.
That little boy servant actually wasn't willing to let it go. "I say, Miss Helian, you already came here, why still hide it. Don't tell me this was all a coincidence, that you didn't know this was my young master's courtyard."
Wei Wei: "..." Hehe, she really didn't know!
"Fine." Murong Chang Feng's voice was level and prevented that little servant from talking, but one could tell that he basically didn't think any differently from that little servant. "Since you already came, why not explain clearly."
Wei Wei looked him up and down with a glance, then turned and left. What was there to say to a sc.u.m? Moreover, Third Prince was such a bright person, perhaps in a moment, he will come to search the Superior Compound. She didn't want to waste time at this kind of place.
"Wei Wei, what in the world was the meaning of this?" Murong Chang Feng reached out his hand and slightly raised his sleeve to obstruct her way. "Even if you're loosening the reins in order to grab them tighter, shouldn't it be enough already? If you felt that I previously made you lose face, I still already made up for it several times in a row in public. What do you still want now? Make me feel regretful? Wei Wei, who do you think you are?"
Having someone bar the way like that, Wei Wei simply crossed her arms in front of her c.h.e.s.t and felt it was quite laughable as she lifted her head. "Murong Chang Feng, I advise you to look in the mirror more often in the future. Do you really think that you're so handsome that it would shock the earth and make the spirits weep, that without you, it'd be impossible for me to live on? The words that you've spoken, I'll return to you unchanged. Murong Chang Feng, who do you think you are? Loosening the reins to grasp them tighter? Was what I said not clear enough? This elder sister was formerly blind, that's why she fell for a sc.u.m like you. I was too young, heh, so it was hard to avoid having poor taste. It's the same reason as to why you like Helian Jiao Er. This elder Sister's mind is now already sound and wise, and I want to turn over a new leaf. Do you understand now? If you understand, then get out of the way."
"Worthy of being the wife I chose, ruthless enough, I like it!"
Suddenly, a devilish laugh rang out from behind the two of them.
Wei Wei looked back, glanced over, and saw precisely Hei family's second young master arriving late right under the cherry blossom tree, one hand holding a bundle, one hand lightly clapping the back of his hand. Contained within his arrogance was a bit of rumination. His manner was mostly that of someone watching a play.
Murong Chang Feng's face was originally white for a period of time due to the mockery in Wei Wei's speech. Now, hearing Hei Ze's words, within his eyes rose a burst of anger. "I didn't expect that the majestic Hei family's young master engages in such sneaky activities."
"Sneaky activities? Lord Murong, you shouldn't speak nonsense, Wei Wei and I are a harmonious couple, and the one setting up the date this time is me, not you." Hei Ze unhurriedly came over, the waist level cape over his long robe, in the night wind, fluttered and made sounds, radiating a feeling of oppression that's hard to ignore.
When Wei Wei heard those words, she also didn't express anything and only indifferently glanced at him. "Have the things been neatly packed?"
"Uh huh." While Hei Ze spoke, he still didn't forget to face Murong Chang Feng's direction and lifted his jaw. His meaning was 'look here, she came just to find me'.
Wei Wei certainly didn't want a play outside the scope of what was expected to be on the 'program', reached out her hand and pulled Hei Ze over, her tone of voice was indifferent. "If you've brought everything, then let's go. There's nothing to be said between you and him."
Having heard that, Murong Chang Feng's face became utterly cold all at once, he ground his teeth and produced 'gnash gnash' sounds.
The mouth of that little servant standing by his side turned into the shape of an 'O'.
He didn't expect that this girl surprisingly truly didn't come to find young master, and instead came to wait for Master Hei.
This wasn't the main point. The key point was master's expression...
The little servant somewhat didn't dare to raise his head.
Murong Chang Feng seemed as if he had finally reached the boiling point, yet didn't have a place to vent his anger, one foot then kicked at the little servant's body. "What are you still blanking out for, light the lantern, return to the room!"
"Yes! Yes!" The little servant almost spit up blood from being kicked by that foot, the pain made all of his usual arrogant complacency change into nothingness, as he stooped and bowed his head in cautious and solemn service. He's fearful that something else might come and provoke his young lord.
This kind of commotion naturally disturbed other people at the Superior Compound.
Even though the males and females were completely separated, however, a person like Helian Jiao Er always dispatched servants to each courtyard to scout for news.
Therefore, the Superior Compound held no secrets from her whatsoever.
Soon, she already learned about what happened with Murong Chang Feng.
The light in her eyes flashed slightly and a malicious smile slowly delineated. Leaving without approval, Wei Wei, you really even dared!
"Someone come!" Helian Jiao Er originally already took off her outer robe and now dr.a.p.ed a cloak over her shoulders, thin lips lightly curved. "We'll also go out to take a stroll."
"Yes."
The servant girl following at Helian Jiao Er's side understood her young lady's thoughts more than anyone else.
The night became somewhat deeper, Wei Wei saw that heading towards that direction were layers upon layers of imperial guards to hold her back, the space between her eyebrows knit into a lump.
This Third Prince's methods really were fierce.
He dispatched so many people just to catch her.
Sigh, this was the rhythm of somebody who wanted to have her 'dismembered into a thousand pieces' once she was caught.
"Was all of this st
irred up by you?" The Hei family's young master stood behind her, and impatiently raised his eyebrows a few times.
Wei Wei mm hm'd once. "Third Prince's people."
Once he heard the two words 'Third Prince', Hei Ze's eyes narrowed. "Speaking of which, why would Third Prince choose you?"
"Don't you think that it was relatively easier to cause a sensation as a result of choosing me? Wei Wei smiled. In any case, it wouldn't be because I was too beautiful, so he was bewitched by my charm, right?"
The corners of Hei Ze's mouth twitched. "Charm, you?"
"That's why I said the reason he chose me was to anger the Retired Emperor." Wei Wei shrugged her shoulders."Resisting marriage. That's just a way to resist."
It was easier for Hei Ze to accept this hypothesis. "I've said that I wanted to marry you, but it's not because I wanted to anger my old man. I'm actually truly sincere."
"Hehe." Wei Wei only responded with two sounds, truly sincere? "This face of mine, you can accept it?"
Hei Ze looked at those guards walking back and forth and seriously replied only after giving it some thought. "Actually, after blowing out the candle, it's all the same. In any case, your figure's not bad."
"Thanks, but I'm still not satisfied with your figure." Wei Wei wickedly laughed. "After blowing out the candle, Third Prince will still completely beat you."
Hei Ze blanked out, after which he slowly curved up his thin lips as his fingers slid over to Wei Wei's hair, his handsome domineering face expressed a hint filled with another insinuation.. "Woman, this man already seems to be more and more interested in you...."
Chapter 97 - Resist Unyieldingly
"Hei Ze, do you need me to remind you once again." Helian Wei Wei moved his hand away as she indifferently and coldly said, "We are currently merely working together."
Hei Ze smiled. "Honestly speaking, we coordinate so well, we should be very compatible together."
"You and your right hand are even more well coordinated, so why don't you immediately marry your right hand." After Wei Wei dropped this statement, she then turned her body and changed position as she continued to conceal herself.
The corners of Hei Ze's mouth twitched a couple of times. The right hand in her mouth, had better not mean what he thought it meant!
Her being a girl, how could she be even more brazen than a man when she talked!
"It won't work. Two people make too big of a target." Wei Wei turned her head and glanced at the Hei family's young master. "Let's move separately, then meet at the armament conference when that time comes."
It didn't matter to Hei Ze. "In any case, I can just strut out of here."
"In that case, young master, you can take your time and leave then." The corners of Wei Wei's mouth rose and within seconds, she disappeared into the dark of night. She didn't believe that news of her and the Hei family's young master being together wouldn't be discovered by others.
Pushing Hei Ze away in order to divert that person's attention, this method also wasn't bad...
"Your Highness, I've already investigated." Shadow saw his master's demonically cold to the bones pair of eyes, and swallowed his saliva. "Miss Wei Wei is currently at the Superior Compound."
Baili Jia Jue casually looked up. "Superior Compound? What is she doing there?"
"Apparently..." When he spoke to this point, Shadow paused and braced himself. "It's to look for the Hei family's second young master."
After hearing what was said, Baili Jia Jue's steps seemed to stiffen.
After that, he tilted his head and laughed deeply. The fringes of his hair followed his movements and hung down slightly. In the distance, it seemed as if he was somewhat more lonely?
By the time Shadow cautiously took a look again, however, Baili Jia Jue had suddenly looked up and calmly took the bundle within the white gloves on his hand and threw it aside. His eyes were so cold they were scary. Where was there any hint of loneliness. On the contrary, it made him seem even more graceful, yet dangerous than usual. There seemed to be something that seemed like it wanted to burst forth from the depths of his eyes.
Shadow also wondered if he was mistaken, but he totally felt as if all of the qi in his entire body suffered from some kind of pressure. Even breathing had become somewhat difficult.
Right at the moment his fingers felt his c.h.e.s.t, that kind of strange feeling again mysteriously disappeared.
After that, he heard his master's voice. It had a natural grace, yet contained an apathetic coldness. "Then let's also capture Hei Ze, no matter who she's with, still bring her to me."
Shadow trembled, respectfully and deferentially dropped his head. "Yes."
"Don't need to remove the checkpoints at the other areas." Baili Jia Jue thought deeply for a bit, his ice-cold voice carried a smiling expression that made the skin on people's head turn numb. "The game that woman likes to play most is to create a diversion in one direction while striking in another direction."
Shadow accepted the order. He couldn't help but think that His Highness' thoughts were still as profound as in the past.
None of the checkpoints would be removed. Right now, even if Wei Wei were to have three heads and six arms (even if she were more formidable), she still wouldn't be able to escape.
Still, His Highness truly dealt with everyone cautiously. Not to mention that it's a woman without any qi, even if those experts wanted to leave, they would also require no small amount of diligent effort.
However, Baili Jia Jue surprisingly felt that it wasn't enough. His beautiful phoenix shaped eyes narrowed once more. "Also monitor the Commerce Plaza well. It's very possible that she'll contact Zi Zun."
Wanting to leave with Hei Ze?
Heh, he actually wanted to see, if he pulled out all of her claws, how she could still run!"
"Yes." Shadow's heart 'ba-thumped", he felt that overall, the current Highness was scarier than the one earlier. When it was discovered that Wei Wei was gone, what his face revealed was anger. Yet now, within those eyes was a smile that was not a smile which radiated a demonic chill, almost enough to freeze people's blood.
He'd followed His Highness for so many years, yet there had never been a time when he'd seen him like the way he was today.
Moreover, in this world, there fundamentally wasn't anybody who could truly withstand His Highness.
The former Highness also had never cared about anything, but when he got serious, he was even scarier than Retried Emperor.
Capturing her was something that was bound to happen sooner or later.
The entire White Academy was already surrounded by their people. Even someone like him, who thoroughly understood all forms of deployment, would not necessarily be able to escape and leave, to say nothing of Wei Wei, who was completely ignorant of all of these tactics.
However, was Wei Wei really ignorant of all these tactics?
Of course not.
Know yourself, know your enemy, then you can emerge victorious. How could she just recklessly operate if she was in a situation where she didn't understand anything.
On the contrary, she thoroughly understood Baili Jia Jue's deployment plans.
Because she wasn't anywhere else, instead, she'd already infiltrated the imperial guards' lineup.
Wherever Baili Jia Jue went, she'd follow. However, even though it's like that, whenever she heard Baili Jia Jue's voice, she still couldn't help but shiver.
This guy truly wasn't giving her any way out, sigh.
Fortunately, she depended on her former incarnation's inexperience. That's how she could continue to disguise herself. Otherwise, no matter where she went, she would've been blocked and killed.
Wei Wei deeply inhaled, and continued to psych herself up to take on the role of an imperial guard. This is the first time she was glad for her layer of dark skin being dark enough. When mixed in with this group of men, she also won't stand out.
Thinking about it carefully, how in the world and in what way did she provoke such a difficult
to handle guy.
She merely only rejected him once.
Wasn't Third Prince a bit too overly s.e.n.s.i.t.i.v.e?
It wasn't even like he really wanted to marry her...
Wei Wei sighed in her heart.
Yuan Ming incessantly comforted her in his domineering way. "You can tell that guy. The truth is, the person you love is me, and have him not rob somebody of their lover."
The corners of Wei Wei's mouth twitched. "Shut up, but thanks."
"Girl, don't deny it anymore, if you don't love me, would you have embraced me so closely?" Yuan Ming absolutely proudly 'humph'ed a couple of times. "Those little thoughts of yours have already been seen through by me."
Wei Wei was melancholic. "Where in the world did you get such confidence? Would you wake up, dear?"
"Forget it. You're so shy, I won't force you. However, speaking of which, in regards to that guy, this venerable one have not been able to penetrate through his depths even now. You should be a bit more careful. I've always felt that he's not that simple." Yuan Ming returned to his usual manner of speaking. Looking at the back of Baili Jia Jue's figure, the light in his eyes submerged deeper.
Wei Wei replied with an 'mm'. She'd always known that Third Prince was very difficult to deal with.
In this empire where might was honored, unexpectedly, even after he'd lost his qi, he could still make people from the four great clans fear his existence. That clearly indicated that it wasn't merely his strategies. Within the entire Dragon War Empire, no one was able to rival his mind either.
It seems that Hei Ze wouldn't be able to hold on for long.
She needed to think of another plan and withdraw sooner.
"How's the situation with Little White?" While Wei Wei moved forward along with the troop of guards, she also used her stream of consciousness to have a discussion with Yuan Ming.
Yuan Ming said in a deep voice. "Everything moved according to plan. Once we left the academy, there'll be a spirit beast to take you down the mountain."
"Spirit beast..." Wei Wei's footsteps paused, within her long and narrow eyes, there flickered a shrewd light...
