As before, Baili Jia Jue didn't pay attention to him and extended his hand to casually throw his clothes on the wooden chair, then leisurely took the porcelain cup from the wood tabletop.
The beautiful youngster knitted his brows. Could it be that he'd guessed incorrectly.
Imperial Older Brother basically didn't have any special feelings for that Helian Wei Wei?
Was it only simply because Wei Wei offended him that he dragged her out like he did just now?
The beautiful youngster was unwilling to give up. He didn't believe that he wouldn't be able to exasperate him!
The bright eyes turned as the beautiful youngster continued to speak. "I truly didn't expect that there'd be a day when Imperial Brother could also be rejected. However, thinking it over carefully, it was nevertheless reasonable. After all, once a woman already has a sweetheart, no matter how perfect the man standing in front of her may be, she still wouldn't be moved. Imperial Older Brother probably doesn't know yet, but between that partner of mine and the Hei family's second young master, there certainly wasn't only that little bit of a relationship at the academy..."
Chapter 125 - His Highness Drinks Vinegar
Baili Jia Jue at long last seemed like he paid attention to him for a moment. He was wearing only a pure white inner robe as his long body stood firmly and slowly turned his head around facing the beautiful youngster while his brows lifted.
The beautiful youngster's eyes shined seeing that he reacted and was going to continue to say something.
But only heard that demonically cold and apathetic voice containing an ice-coldness that wasn't there before sound out from within the room. "Qilin."
"Here." In mid air, a human figure flashed. The corners of the man's mouth smiling demonically matched with that head adorned with long red hair. He stood under the moonlight giving people a kind of extremely mysterious and unreal sense of beauty.
"Quiet him down for a moment." Within Baili Jia Jue's voice, there wasn't any temperature, so much so that it wasn't possible to hear any feelings being expressed.
However, it nevertheless made the beautiful youngster's complexion change suddenly. He can't play this way! He couldn't win against him in words so he just had the fire qilin appear!
"Imperial Brother, if you have ability, then don't use your spirit beast!"
Baili Jia Jue paused his movements and turned his head to glance at him."Do you mean that you want me to do the job myself?"
"Of course! What kind of ability would using a spirit beast count as!" The beautiful youngster was extremely proud as he raised his face in a loveable way. His languid, pointed lower jaw faced upwards.
"Ah." Baili Jia Jue laughed deeply and consciously placed the object he was holding in his hand aside.
The fire qilin began to move at a 45 degree angle towards the sky. This Younger Master Han normally appear pretty shrewd, why was it that at this critical juncture, his brains would be so dumb.
If it were to make a move, at most, it would strike him dizzy.
However, if it was His Highness who made a move...
The fire qilin silently shivered.
"Wait a moment! Why are you taking off my shoe!" The beautiful youngster was alarmed as the words sounded within his throat. "Imperial Brother, you wouldn't really be interested in men, right? ! Your daddy really prefers women, women!"
Baili Jia Jue lazily glanced at him as a single finger pinched the cloth used as socks. His long eyebrows slightly creased. "Haven't seen you for so many years. You've become so wordy."
"I...woah!" The beautiful youngster's pair of eyes suddenly shook and the subsequent words no longer had the opportunity to be uttered.
Because the man extended his hand and used the socks to stuff up his mouth!
The beautiful youngster smelled that sour, penetrating, incomparable smell, and his entire handsome face looked extremely tragically emaciated!
Watching from the side, the fire qilin's stomach was all twisted. Seeing Young Master Han's current situation, it recalled again the previous scene of his master having it eat vegetables everyday for three months.
That feeling...
As the fire qilin now recalled those memories, it had a kind of feeling about life that it didn't think about before.
It frantically shook its head and thought that if it were Young Master Han, it reckoned that for a very many days it wouldn't think about wearing socks again!
That's why it's been said that no matter who one was to offend, don't offend his master.
It would simply be the same as setting oneself against a demon, sigh!
"Wmf wmf wmf!" The beautiful youngster finally regained his senses from the previous psychological shock. His first reaction was to let loose a string of curses!
The fire qilin patted his shoulder in a consoling manner as it asked in a provoking way. "How about I strike you dizzy."
"Woah!" He hadn't had enough of cursing! Nobody hinder your daddy!
The fire qilin shrugged his shoulders, and pinched his own nose as he said. "Fine. Then I'll also leave now. Young Master Han, you take your time smelling it."
"Woah!" Wait a minute! Your daddy was acting aloof just now! Aloof, do you understand, hey! Hurry up and remove this smelly thing from your daddy's mouth! BAARRRF! He's simply going to barf soon from the stink ~
The beautiful youngster watched the door to the room closing and thoroughly wished to cry, but had no tears.
When Baili Jia Jue entered another room, the fire qilin also came with him, and was immediately ready with a towel.
Baili Jia Jue didn't say a word as he received the towel and indifferently wiped his own finger. There was somewhat of a dark light within his pupils.
The fire qilin used the opportunity to lift its head, took a quick glance at the side of its master's face, and discovered at the side of the young man's sparkling handsome face, thin lips tightly pursed into a straight line.
Seeing this kind of expression from Baili Jia Jue scared the fire qilin so much the bottom of its heart shivered. It had accompanied master for so many years, and for a long time, had been able to, from Baili Jia Jue's expressions and manners, roughly judge his mood.
When he was smiling coldly, then at least nine times out of ten, it's when his mood wasn't too good.
But just now, master clearly already gave Young Master Han a lesson, why would his mood still be bad.
Even though the fire qilin had a question, it nevertheless didn't ask and only stroked the bridge of its own nose while saying. "Master, just now, Young Master Han actually brought some news. People from the four great clans already came. Shouldn't we first return to the capital."
Baili Jia Jue didn't utter a sound. Within the room, it seemed all the more quiet. The fire qilin lightly swallowed a mouthful of saliva. Right now, it was almost positive that master's mood was truly not very good.
Baili Jia Jue's temper was originally inclined to be cold. Right now, there's additionally more of a difficult to approach sort of ice-cold aura from his body, sandwiched with a feeling of oppression drawn out from the depths of his eyes and coming through causing the entire room's already oppressive atmosphere to become even colder.
He downed a cup of sake he poured himself, swayed not quickly nor slowly, the black hair wet from having been drenched in rainwater resembled an incomparably deep night.
The more the fire qilin watched, the more nervous the bottom of its heart became, because it had a feeling that its master would crush that cup!
Suddenly, Baili Jia Jue turned his thin lips down and slowly spit out a sentence. "It looks like there are still many things which my prey has not told me. Heh, a prey that is disobedient will need to be properly trained."
CRUSH.
That wine cup really was broken into pieces in his hands as the vapors of alcohol momentarily accompanied the evaporation of the wine and pervaded the surrounding area, containing a wine fragrance that caused people to feel dizzy.
"Master!" The
fire qilin cried out in alarm. "Your hand!"
Baili Jia Jue looked at his own cut finger and completely paid it no mind as he extended the tip of his tongue to lightly lick it. A strange seductive light hidden within the depths of his pupils streaked across. A breeze blew across faintly revealing an ice-cold aloof pride...
The fire qilin was puzzled as it frowned. Up until now, it still didn't understand. Why would master suddenly become so unhappy. Clearly, when he entered the guest house just now, he was still lukewarm.
Could it be that it was because of this woman named Helian Wei Wei?
That's very possible.
After all, what master disliked the most was having other people touch his things.
It wasn't at all because he liked the thing that much. Rather, it was his mysophobia causing mischief.
Not to mention that it's a prey, even clothes he wore everyday getting a little dirty would immediately be thrown out by him without any reservations.
If that Helian Wei Wei truly was as Young Master Han had said, and had some kind of a relationship with with other men.
His master also should immediately lose interest in her...
Outside the window, the night scene became more and more lively. At the inn next to the armament convention hall, Wei Wei sat opposite to Hei Ze and placed the white cat on the tabletop. "There's a change of plans. I need to go back first."
Hei Ze aggressively raised his handsome eyebrows. "Not afraid of Third Prince catching you?"
Wei Wei's hand drinking tea paused and only vaguely 'mm hm'd once. She didn't tell Hei Ze about her agreement with Third Prince at all.
Hei Ze suddenly inclined his body. The light in his eyes was devilishly wicked. "As long as you have a wedding contract, Third Prince wouldn't make things difficult for you anymore. How about it? Do you want to consider it and be this young master's wife, hm?"
Chapter 126 - Want You To Look Good
"I'm not interested in playboys." Helian Wei Wei gently turned the teacup in her hand, each word pronounced clearly. "What's more, if you married me, wouldn't that childhood sweetheart of yours cry on the toilet until she's all dizzy, hm?"
The smile on Hei Ze's face became grave in a flash as he extended his hand to swallow a mouthful of wine. "Her? Heh, she's probably eager for me to hurry and get married. The day before yesterday, she even sent a huge pile of picture scrolls* to my grandfather. Indeed, she loves to trouble herself."
As Hei Ze was saying these words, he faintly conveyed a sneer, as if he didn't care about anyone anymore.
Wei Wei certainly didn't fall for it. Everyone said that the Hei family's second young master's sights are set higher than the roof, meeting new girls, yet would never tolerate one for more than half a month.
However, from Wei Wei's observations, it's only because he hid a person in his heart....
"You should also leave first." Hei Ze leaned way over, a sharply defined face speaking with his usual disposition. "You won Young Master Wu Shuang's armament. There are bound to be people who are not convinced. It's also not safe for you to stay at Armament City."
Wei Wei believed this to be the case, so didn't stay further. After she'd already made the arrangements that she needed to make, she was then going to leave the inn.
Yet didn't anticipate running into Helian Jiao Er and her group of people.
They seemed to have just returned from the armament convention. Each of their hands were holding a newly selected armament.
After they saw Wei Wei, the expressions on those people's faces differed from one another.
"Chang Feng, look, that ugly girl also came. She shouldn't be here looking for you, right?" Somebody laughed.
One can't blame this person for having this kind of reaction, because the former Wei Wei was indeed very obsessed with Murong Chang Feng. Each day, she stood at the Defense Division mansion and only thought of how she could find out even a bit of news about her future husband.
This was the sort of notion every stay at home young girl had, yet these people considered it to be a basis for mocking Wei Wei.
Wei Wei coldly laughed. The white cat rested on her shoulder. Her hand grasped the umbrella and didn't pay attention to that crowd of people at all.
When Murong Chang Feng heard people speaking of her, his eyes couldn't help but look towards her direction. The hands beneath his sleeves also immediately tensed.
Perhaps even he, himself, didn't know why the image of Wei Wei's face had been flashing in his mind from time to time.
He thought it probably was him not having readjusted.
"Look at that umbrella she's holding in her hand. It ought to be the one Young Master Wu Shuang made" Jealous and envious gazes fell onto Wei Wei's body.
Among those aristocratic young ladies, there was no lack of girls who admired Murong Chang Feng and also those with good relationsh.i.p.s with Helian Jiao Er. Naturally, they looked at Wei Wei unfavorably.
Adding to that her father's assured position in Armament City, and that's why she didn't bother to be polite with Wei Wei. "Hey, I'm speaking to you. Bring that umbrella over here and let us take a look!"
Wei Wei totally seemed as if she didn't hear, and minding her own business, walked ahead.
That aristocratic young lady had never been treated this way by anybody before. She walked in large strides over and directly blocked Wei Wei's path as she coldly said. "I was talking to you, didn't you hear me?"
Wei Wei indifferently glanced at her and only spoke two words. "Step aside."
"Hah!" That young girl thought it was ridiculous as she inclined her head. "Who do you think you are? Dare to speak to me like that. You were only lucky to have won Young Master Wu Shuang's armament, and you really thought that you understand armaments quite well now? Ugly girl, I'm telling you, you're still far inferior!"
Wei Wei's pair of eyes looked forward, faced that girl's eyes, and lifted her thin lips forming words containing a fierce ice-coldness. "I'll repeat it again, step aside."
That girl from a prestigious family was also not easy to handle. Seeing Wei Wei not giving her face like that, immediately, her complexion became gloomy.
"Elder Sister!" Helian Jiao Er was standing by that young girl's side and used a 'how could you be so insensible' kind of look to glance at Wei Wei. "This person is the armament assembly's vice-president's daughter, Miss Cheng, shouldn't you treat her with a bit more respect."
Wei Wei lifted her thin lips a bit as a mocking smile slowly flowed out from her eyes.
When that young girl saw this expression, it didn't sit well with her and she laughed coldly. "Forget it, I don't want to lower myself to her level. In regards to these people who haven't seen many armaments, a country bumpkin who occasionally won once without knowing how high the heaven is or how profound the earth is, how much respect for others do you hope she could have. Younger Sister Jiao Er, after you've purchased that armament from Profound Heavens, you really ought to let this country bumpkin see it and have her properly know what is known as a disparity in ability."
After hearing Profound Heavens mentioned, the smiling expression on the corners of Wei Wei's mouth became even wider. As it was widening, there was even a little bit of an unidentified, distinctive quality.
Helian Jiao Er laughed softly and hypocritically evaded. "We're still in the process of negotiating. Whether the armament can be obtained is still uncertain. However, it looks as if there should be a possibility."
"Sister Jiao Er, what are you afraid of, the Defense Division Mansion has no shortage of money. Moreover, only an excellent armament would be deserving of your talent." Cheng Cheng patted Helian Jiao Er's hand and disdainfully swept a glance at Wei Wei. "Unlike some people, currying favors from people everywhere, yet don't have any genuine talent. I reckon that she hasn't even heard of what Profound Heavens is. If I was Grandmaster Zi Zun, and accepted a disciple like that, the humiliation would be more than I can bear."
Cheng Cheng's words gave rise to hoots of laught
er all around.
Wei Wei's pair of hands were crossed in front of her c.h.e.s.t. Her body was leaning on a column behind her, um... how should she tell this Miss Cheng that Profound Heavens actually was established by her, heh.
"All right, we shouldn't waste our time here." Murong Chang Feng indifferently cast a glance at Wei Wei. The expression on his handsome face didn't change in the least. "You also should return to wherever you were returning."
Cheng Cheng heard Murong Chang Feng speak up to help Wei Wei out of her predicament and felt a fit of unease in her heart. Didn't Lord Murong loathe this girl the most?
"What Lord said is right, we totally don't need to waste our time on a good-for-nothing." Cheng Cheng purposefully misrepresented Murong Chang Feng's words while she smilingly suggested. "I heard that she will also participate in the martial qi competition not long from now. When that time comes, we can actually properly exchange moves."
She absolutely must beat this ugly girl to the point where she wouldn't even be able to crawl to get up!
Wei Wei didn't respond to her. People who were familiar with her ought to know that she was in a rush. Otherwise, she wouldn't have endured for so long and would've already flown over with her clenched fists!
However, considering that Third Prince was still waiting for her. In addition to that, if this matter gave rise to the four great clans' attention, it'd be difficult to avoid inviting trouble upon Third Prince.
What she disliked the most was to cause trouble for her partners.
However, at the martial qi competition, she'd properly exchange moves with that girl. She happened to have the same idea, hehe...
"Girl, you smiled very sinisterly, wow."
(Misty Cloud Translations: 'Wei' means miniature and 'Ze' means pool. Essentially, she used a combination of hers and Hei Ze's name for the name of the shop.
The original name is Wei Ze Tian Xia. I've changed it to Profound Heavens for smoother reading, and to all name coma people out there (Yup, that's me, I blank out when I see too many names). But we're putting these notes in so that you understand the author's twist in the naming… haha
