The Anarchic Consort c1-1376

by Warring Young Seven

  "That is true. I heard the auction will not start until the evening. We should take our leave now and go to see if Miss Jiao Er can take us inside. What do you think?"

  "I think will work."

  A group of people chatted and laughed, and walked away towards to the courtyard. Even a few people who had been surrounding Helian Wei Wei walked away looking embarrassed. This kind of situations happened quite often even in modern times.

  This was probably because deep down, they looked down on Helian Wei Wei. As those people have said, she had no power or authority so whatever she did she was doomed to be criticised. But these people never would have never thought that they will soon come to come to regret their decision today.

  Helian Wei Wei looked at the people around her, other than Chen Yifeng, there were two girls and a boy. One of the girls made Helian Wei Wei raise her eyebrows, this was the girl that Hei Ze has been in love with from his childhood but never dared to confess to.

  Nalan Hongye saw Helian Wei Wei look at her eyes raised up boldy: "What?"

  "Would you be interested in walking with me?" Although Helian Wei Wei asked a question, she did not give the other person a chance to refuse, her finger gripped Nalan Hongye's wrist. She had to keep hold of her, the future lady of the Hei Family. A ticket to the Profound Heaven was nothing, she could just put all the bills onto Hei Ze's account at the store later on.

  The more Helian Wei Wei thought about it the more she found the idea genius, and her smiled deepened.

  "Yeah." Nalan Hongye had never seen this type of woman before. Her smile made people feel comfortable and she had a mysterious gaze. She had always done things like a man, because her home had many men, she was brought up like she was one.

  She did not understand women, even though she was one herself. For example, when they ate, the topics were always about Helian Wei Wei. She did not want to participate in this topic, so these people alienated her. Wretches! All she wanted was to be a beautiful girl who ate quietly, was that so difficult! And why did the letters written to Hei Ze have to be sent through her?

  She felt that Hei Ze was like those women, like a needle at the bottom of the ocean, hard to get, with a multitude of different feelings all the time. They were truly confusing.

  Helian Wei Wei looked at the side of Nalan Hongye's face, she did not think that this girl would walk by her side so nimbly. She thought that she would be looked down upon due to Hei Ze's influence. This was rather fascinating.

  "Why don't you ask me where I am taking you?" Helian Wei Wei raised her eyebrows.

  Nalan Hongye's face was attractive and intelligent as she casually replied: "I am familiar with the four cities."

  "I can verify this." Chen Yifeng raised his hand; " She knows all the local bosses, the armaments they make are also very powerful. Just don't know why they were assigned to the Good Compound."

  Nalan Hongye looked at Chen Yifeng puzzled; "How do you know so much?"

  Chen Yifeng's face grew red, he kept his head down and did not speak.

  Helian Wei Wei saw it clearly, Nalan Hongye had a lovable cute baby face, she had beautiful tender skin and was not pretentious at all. Once anyone saw the goodness in her, they no doubt would have fallen head over heels for her.

  Hei Ze better watch out, or his sweetheart will run off with someone else and he will be left with nothing.

  "Hei Ze won't let me go to the Fine Compound, he said he will be distracted by the sight of me." Nalan Hongye said: " It is probably my temper that makes him ashamed of me, it is my fault for being so ignorant."

  Helian Wei Wei paused, a beautiful red phoenix spread upwards, this girl's looks was deceiving, she knew everything, more than everyone else, but just did not want to participate.

  "You can come to our Inferior Compound, I am always bored." Helian Wei Wei still held on to her hand, walked forward and smiled at the girl. "Other than being serious in our classes, there isn't much entertainment."

  Chen Yifeng: "....."

  Nalan Hongye "...…"

  'Being serious in class' these four words, were they really appropriate for her - a girl who only slept all the time until she was nearly expelled?

  "Right, boss, where are we going?" Nalan Hongye did not want to know, but the others did, after all, taking their leave was a luxury for them.

  Helian Wei Wei smiled lightly and said: "We will also be going to the Profound Heaven."

  Another hour passed. After the sunset, the show started, the streets were full of excitement, people came and went, and the traffic was so busy. From people kneading sugar to selling rouge and powders,even divination and fortune telling; there was everything.

  Originally, the capital city was the most prosperous city in the War Dragon Empire, with a dense population and luxurious buildings. Today, the streets were even more crowded, with everyone squeezing past each other, and the most luxurious horse carriages were probably all here gathered outside the gates of the Profound Heaven, waiting to enter.

  Helian Jiao Er could see through their intentions, but to spend a bit of money was not a big deal seeing that the fathers of these people could be useful in court. Therefore, Helian Jiao Er did not refuse, but rather appeared to be generous and acted like as if the Profound Heaven was owned by her family.

  Chapter 219 - Inside Profound Heaven

  "Boss, do we really want to go in?" Chen Yifeng looked at the crowd in the distance and hesitated. It was not that he did not have the money, but that he was afraid of what others would say to agitate their boss.

  It appeared that seats at the Profound Heaven auction was very popular. Some time ago his father even said that he would find a way to help him buy a ticket. He felt that his boss was powerful enough and did not need to go to see the other people here. Although the armaments at Profound Heaven was indeed good, it did not rule out the suspicion fabricated creation. The creation was so powerful that the boss of Profound Heaven was the first person in so many years. His father said that it was a "trademark".

  He did not even understand it, but he knew the opponent was formidable, the people in the entire Dragon War Empire d.e.s.i.r.ed it strongly and it made them feel that to own a piece of armament made by him made them stand out from everyone else. This was indeed a first for Profound Heaven.

  That was why everyone was eager to enter, other than the armament itself, it was an opportunity to show their nobility. His boss went, but it was evident those people would mock her. The clever Helian Wei Wei knew Chen Yifeng's worries and smiled "Don't worry Chen Yifeng, Profound Heaven is easier to enter than you think."

  Chen Yifeng grabbed his hair, unable to express his helplessness. Boss, this was not as simple as you think! What he did not expect was that no one acknowledged his point of view.

  "Well, truthfully, it isn't that difficult to enter." Nalan Hongye thought about it and took out two silver cards. Her voice was faint: "Actually, I have two places here."

  It didn't take Helian Wei Wei much thought to know where the silver cards had come from. A certain someone from tomorrow had revealed himself. [Oh Hei Ze, you have hidden deep. ]

  "Silver card." Chen Yifeng looked a little dizzy. "You actually have a silver card to the Profound Heaven. When did the Nalan family have so much influence. Even the Defense Division family don't have a silver card."

  Nalan Hongye replied with a look of seriousness on her face: "Is it really that difficult? Hei Ze gave me five cards at once." However she only took one when she came out.

  "No, it's not difficult at all." Helian Wei Wei smiled shallowly. She had just put her account in his name, but this punishment was too small. She thought of something else, her lips curled up and said "Hongye, shall we change position? Do you mind?"

  Nalan Hongye was very straightforward "I don't mind. Anyway, Hei Ze has recently been locked up by his father, so I doubt he will even be able to come out."

  Oh, in order to come and watch a martial test with you he would crawl out of a kennel even if he had too. H
elian Wei Wei smiled evilly, the disobedient staff would always get beaten till they clung for their dear life and want to be close to her from time to time. She was not stupid. Just because she didn't say it, doesn't mean she didn't know it.

  In the past Hei Ze had the intention of making use of her, he got close to her around the time she had first entered the academy. He was not familiar with the rules of the academy at the point, coupled by the fact that there were so many women around, it was inevitable that some jealousy was born out of love. Hei Ze was probably looking for someone to divert the attention of these people.

  Coincidentally, she became the target. For example, that Shen Wenyan was obviously in love with Hei Ze, hence she framed her. Therefore, the calamity of a woman was worse than that of a close male friend. Because of this, Hei Ze had alienated Nalan Hongye on purpose and turned his attention to her.

  Helian Wei Wei had seen through this ploy but did not say anything. Because firstly, she felt that childhood romance was precious. Although she did not agree with Hei Ze's methods, she could not deny that it protected that person very well. Of course she was not like V.i.r.g.i.n Mary who sacrificed herself to protect others. However she was at the heart of a struggle, and yet was willing to suffer more. Secondly, Hei Ze was good to her, and she was not an ungrateful person. Once a sworn brother, always a brother.

  However, an occasional minor punishment for him was necessary to let him know how powerful she was. Moreover, she wanted to see how jealous the normally arrogant and flirtatious young master of the Hei family would be.

  Nalan Hongye did not know Helian Wei Wei's thoughts, Chen Yifeng and the two other academy students discussed fervently without stopping to take a breath.

  It was nearly impossible to obtain those silver cards!

  Nalan Hongye had five tickets?!

  That was even better treatment than royalty!

  "Why does Master Hei have so many cards?" Although reckless, Chen Yifeng was not dumb, "Does he have anything to do with the boss of Profound Heaven?"

  Helian Wei Wei looked at him casually and smiled a little, "You can ask Hei Ze yourself if there is a chance. It's almost time for us to enter, let's go in."

  Chen Yifeng still felt a bit dizzy, his mind boggled, he followed Helian Wei Wei and the rest and walked into the crowd.

  "Look who is here!"

  "How did she manage to come in here?"

  "Don't tell me these people are also here to watch the auction."

  Helian Jiao Er also saw Helian Wei Wei and her group, her eyebrows wrinkled up, "Big sister?" What was this s.l.u.t doing here?

  "Big sister?" The ladies who were around them heard Helian Jiao Er address Helian Wei Wei, all of them looked over in her direction, but only saw a girl with dark face standing there in clothes made of common material, nothing that was worth using.

  "Madam Su, is this your eldest daughter who has come over? What a sight she is, she looks .. hehe."

  Hehe is really an all-encompassing word, not only in modern times, but also in ancient times.

  Everyone knew that Su Yan Mo could not bear Helian Wei Wei, after all her mother was famous for her beauty in the entire Dragon War Empire and it was also rumoured that she would marry the Emperor of the neighbouring country. But no one knew what happened, and Helian Guangyao married into the Helian family.

  At that time, no one knew of the Su family, if it was not for the change of position in the Helian Family, Su Yan Mo would still be a nobody...

  Chapter 220 - His Highness arrives

  Sometimes it was not good for a woman to be too capable, such as the powerful Helian family, in the end the head succ.u.mbed to old age, his daughter's husband was seduced by another woman and their fortune was usurped. The one stirring up trouble was not one of the Helian family, but Su Yan Mo.

  Compared to her, they prefered Su Yan Mo who was like an impenetrable master, like a picture of a flower of Gaoling. But she thought that because she went to war she was a big deal, but when she returned to the Capitol her reputation was ruined by her two sisters.

  Let them say, stupid child!

  Nowadays, it was not good to see the methods her daughter used, she should have stayed at home if she had nothing to do and not come out. How could she not realise what day it was today, and yet she still rushed ahead to the front.

  The key was whether she could exploit this opportunity.

  Some of the ladies looked at Helian Wei Wei superciliously, like looking at a clown, they probably thought that since they could not enter yet they might as well look for some entertainment to while time.

  " I say Wei Wei, it is Wei Wei correct? What happened to your marriage? Do you need me to arrange an introduction to save your mother from worrying?"

  Helian Wei Wei did not speak, Su Yan Mo spoke instead, "If there is a suitable match then it would be wonderful. If this child does not have a husband to look after her for the rest of her life, I'm not sure sister will forgive me from the other side."

  "Sister Su, you are so good-hearted, don't worry, just as well I know a good suitor here just back from the battlefield, just that he might have a limp in his legs. But Wei Wei you should understand, at your age on top of the other matter, if there is someone who will offer you a hand in marriage that is a good thing." After speaking, the lady sighed deeply "Naturally, we need to see if that family are willing to have you, after all you have neither beauty nor brains, it is not so easy to make a match for you."

  Helian Wei Wei raised her eyebrows, smiled from the start to finish, but her smile did not reach her eyes.

  "It's dreadful, that someone wants to make a match in marriage for you." Yuan Ming rubbed the back of his hand "Are they not afraid that you will beat the man half to death. Moreover, without the use of a leg, I don't think he can perform his husband duties. Woman, it looks like people don't think that you are worth any money and wants to get rid of you cheaply."

  Chen Yifeng also came from a family of generals, he had heard about this man who had just come back from the battlefield. When he heard the lady mention this man he frowned, "Isn't that person nearly 50 years old? You want our boss to marry this awful old man nearly in his fifties?"

  "What awful old man?! He is a general who fought in battles." That lady looked down on Chen Yifeng, glanced at Helian Wei Wei "Wei Wei, don't let me chastise you, you are a lady who has not wed, yet you are always socialising with men, it does not look good for you. And how dare he talk back to me, I am your elder."

  Helian Wei Wei smiled and plucked at her ears, "I say, it has been ear-piercing right from the start. It seems that it was just some people barking like a dog. Also, elder auntie, who are you? Am I close to you? You come up to me saying you will introduce a husband for me, do you think you are very great?"

  "You! You!" The lady hit her c.h.e.s.t with her handkerchief in infuriation. "I have never met someone like you who can't tell a good thing from bad."

  Madam Su was scarlet red in the face, " Sister, don't be so mad. Wei Wei doesn't understand the rules and she doesn't appreciate our good intentions. For so many years younger sister I am also at the end of my tethers. I can only hope that elder sister in her afterlife knows that it is not that I don't care, but that there is nothing more I can do." She let out a huge sigh, like she had a big grievance to cry about.

  The people around who heard those words pointed their fingers at Helian Wei Wei.

  Madam Su saw this and calmed down. Her trip to Lingyin Temple was insufferable and she suffered utter humiliation, and now all this loathing and hate has finally surfaced. She wants this vile spawn to suffer to the greatest extent possible. In addition to revenge, Madam Su has more plans up her sleeve. Just before the start of the auction, she got news that the Retired Emperor was due to make an appearance.

  Jiao Er had told her that the last time this vile spawn made use of them, and caused the Retired Emperor to be infuriated. According to the time, the Retired Emperor should arrive now and most likely be sat in the tea s
hop. The surroundings and line of sight was good over there, if it were not for the nobles of the Capital sat in the upper row, there was no way to get a good position. Madam Su's guess was correct. There was someone sat in the tea shop.

  Dressed in expensive robes, the Retired Emperor was sat in an important position holding a purple tea cup in his hand, with an air of power and authority around him. Although there was a smile in his eyes, it also gave people a sense of oppression that was not anger but power behind them. There were two men sat on either side of him, each of whom looked beautiful and extraordinary. Of course the most impressive man there was the one dressed in white robes, the Third Prince Baili Jia Jue!

  His elbows rested casually on the arms of the carved wooden chair, his slender white fingers tenderly supported the side of his face. The exquisite white robes moved with the wind, and his dark hair fluttered between the air, revealing his sharp chiseled handsome face, that showed good and evil. The light of the setting sun shone through the wooden window frame and outlined his perfect figure.

  Sat across from him was the son of Murong Wangfu, Murong Changfeng. Compared with the cold and indifference of the Baili Jia Jue, his eyes were kind and warm. He wore a cloak of brocade, beneath it he wore robes with a blue embroidery and of cloud colour.

  He looked at the scene downstairs and sneered. Now that woman would realise how difficult it would be to marry other than him. Although he did not like to see her treated this way, it was more important for her to realise this fact.

  Eunuch Sun stood at one side. He was not as easy-going as Murong Changfeng. When he heard all this going on downstairs, he wanted to go and put it to a stop, but His Highness wanted to listen on. Therefore, Eunuch Sun stood by and watched His Highness, whose lips curled up in a smile but deep down he knew that it was just a mask, and beneath that mask was chilling.

  It looked like someone was about to be unlucky. No matter what Helian Wei Wei meant to His Highness right now did not matter. To be so brazen as to introduce a husband for Helian Wei Wei in front of his Royal Highness …..
