Helian Wei Wei nodded, showing that she understood, "Then you'll wait for me here first."
"Ok." Baili Jia Jue slowly curled his mouth.
"Oh, by the way...." Helian Wei Wei, who was about to lift her legs and walk away, looked at Baili Jia Jue and narrowed her eyes, "When did your eyes get healed?"
Baili Jia Jue paused and calmly lowered his eyes, "When you cut your hand."
"What did I say?" Helian Wei Wei muttered, if he had recovered already earlier, he shouldn't have made her pull him all the way back here. While thinking, Helian Wei Wei turned her head to Eunuch Sun, "Eunuch Sun, please prepare a room for my friend and let him sleep for a while. I'll take care of my things soon."
The martial qi competition shouldn't take too much time.
She would make those, who thought that driving her out of the family may also cut her chance to take part in the competition, to give up!
Chapter 242 - The expert beggar was unexpectedly her!
Helian Wei Wei saw Eunuch Sun continuously looking at her deskmate and did not answer her. She raised her eyebrows, "Eunuch Sun, do you have any problem?"
"Oh?" Eunuch Sun came to his senses.
Baili Jia Jue took a glimpse at him. His voice faintly repeated, "I have troubled Eunuch Sun."
Eunuch Sun looked as if he was choked. He coughed severely, "No, cough, no! Eldest, Eldest Miss, please be at ease. This old slave would definitely make proper arrangements for your friend."
"That's good then. " Helian Wei Wei put everything in order, turned around and went downstairs. Right away, she took a set of men's clothing.
In the mysterious spatial space, Yuan Ming smiled wickedly, "What's wrong? Do you want to change your outfit?
"It's inconvenient to fight in a skirt." Helian Wei Wei's long sleeves waved. She looked like an elegant and unconventional man, his appearance refined as jade.
She looked at her reflection in the mirror, smiled dashingly, then looked sideways and tidied up her collar.
Then she strolled leisurely and walked into the noisy crowd…
After watching the familiar figure disappear, Eunuch Sun dared to turn his head and look at his master, "Your Highness..."
Baili Jia Jue threw away the strip of cloth in his hand. His clean eyebrows became extremely cold in that instant, "Get the shopkeeper of the Phoenix Loft to come over."
"Yes." Eunuch Sun trembled. He knew that His Highness was really going to start a thorough investigation of the poisoning.
Baili Jia Jue fingers were slightly raised and the silver mask was covered, his white robe was flying in an arc: "Eighteen shadow guards, obey my order."
"Your subordinate is here!"
Eighteen dark shadow guards, their robes drooped down, fell on one knee,
Baili Jia Jue's eyes were as cold as ice: "Go and check at ***, who is the old devil ."
"Yes!"
Those shadow guards dispersed at the same time.
Black feathers fell, only the silhouette of Baili Jia Jue's back remained: fierce, evil, indifferent and ruthless.
The ministers looked at the Third Prince who entered the room unhurriedly. They were dumbstruck.
What's going on here?
How come when Eunuch Sun just went out, he took the White Academy student with him, and then when he came back he was replaced with the Third Prince?
"Grandson came late." The indifferent tone of Baili Jia Jue sounded a little lacking in sincerity, "I hope for atonement from Grandfather the Emperor ."
The Retired Emperor lightly coughed a few times and did not reveal his identity. He murmured, "Sit down, what's the situation outside?"
"Everything is normal." Baili Jia Jue paused and then commanded in a cold voice, "You can open the wooden window."
The imperial guard obeyed the order. He quickly stood by the window and wielded the knives to guard, ensuring that the Retired Emperor and his entourage could continue to watch the tournament.
The difference between the martial qi tournament and other types of competitions was that the contestants selected from all over the country were usually lined up in secret. Their names were not announced, only their numbers were read aloud.
So not only the ordinary people, even the elders of the four influential families did not know that Helian Wei Wei became a candidate.
But there was one thing the four influential families had been looking for, they were also looking for talent in this tournament.
So from the very beginning, they waited for the legendary beggar to appear.
Because he once sent out the news that he would show up at the martial qi tournament.
So far, there have been no notable contestants appeared on the testing ground.
The rest of the stages had been quiet except for Helian Jiao Er, who won first place in a row.
It was not until the appearance of Helian Wei Wei who were garbed in men's clothes that the judges slowly began to notice her. They muttered in their hearts that the man's luck was a little better, and he had won three games in a row.
Originally, in a tournament, two wins in three games would lead to promotion.
But this man had never lost a game since the beginning.
And gradually.
Not only the judges but also the contestants who were waiting for their turn to play watched with rapt attention.
"Isn't this impossible? He won again? It's a total of six games. He has no flaws at all."
"Who is this man? I've never seen him before."
"How odd! I can't sense the martial qi on him... Ah! I remember!"
Swish!
In the wake of Helian Wei Wei's beautiful gliding legs, a man with a double hammer was kicked out of the stage in a parabolic curve.
One of the contestants below the arena shouted excitedly, "It's him!"
"Who?"
"That's the expert beggar who stirred up the four influential families!"
"What?"
"Look at his style, he had no martial qi and won by a surprise move. Who else can do it so well in the world and who else so difficult to deal with besides that expert?"
"It's really him!"
The crowd rubbed their eyes and their faces were full of fervour at the sight of the legendary master. Their heart surging, their blood boiling!
This is the first time they were so close to a master!
Helian Wei Wei ignored the astonished gazes and adoration of the audience. She only smiled softly and stood upright, facing the already dumbfounded contestants with a slightly curled lips, "Who's next?"
As the north wind whistled past, she stood on the wooden platform. Her each and every move was refined and indolent. Her slender figure was like jade, which suddenly brought about a sense of beauty like a splash-ink Chinese painting.
Eunuch Sun, standing on the high platform, stared at the people on the stage. He finally understood why His Highness had treated this woman differently.
Such an uproar naturally attracted the attention of a group of people from White Academy.
The young masters of the aristocratic family led by Murong Changfeng watched from a distance with great p.l.e.a.s.u.r.e and immediately afterwards came over.
Even Murong Changfeng unconsciously took it seriously. If such a master can be used for his Murong palace, it would be like adding wings to the tiger.
"Good!" The Retired Emperor, whose spirit was already restored, stroked his beard and brought out a deep laugh: "He's not bad."
"Er... Yes. " Eunuch Sun knew that the Retired Emperor's had poor eyesight. What's more, they were so far away that it was hard to see that the person he claimed as 'not bad' was the eldest lady of Helian's family.
The Retired Emperor raised his eyebrows: "What's wrong? You don't think so?"
"No, no, no!" Eunuch Sun shook his head desperately at the indifferent eyes thrown by his master, and said to the Retired Emperor, "This old slave was foolish because he had never seen such a wonderful match before."
The Retired Emp
eror nodded with satisfaction.
"Jue Er, who is more powerful between you and this person?" At the sudden question from the Retired Emperor, all the ministers came to look at that side.
Baili Jia Jue absent-mindedly rotated the black jade ring on his finger, and his mouth was dyed with a slight demonic feeling, But when he wanted to speak, all of a sudden, a cry of surprise was heard from outside the window!
"Wait! How come the master's rear view looks so familiar!"
Chapter 243 - One Versus Ten
Helian Mei had taken it for granted and not even glanced over here once, then smiled and said: "He's just halfway player, no matter how good his martial arts is or ability is, based on his background, he will never make it big. It was probably just a sinister rumour from the Capital to make him look more powerful. Can't be compared to my elder sister. She won ten rounds in a row."
The ladies heard this and nodded their heads: "Miss Mei makes a very good point. If we all went to that group, we might even win. They're just civilians from all over the place, surely they can't be any good."
As they spoke, they held their teacups in their hands and took a slow drink. Helian Jiao Er who was sat next to them had not spoken, but her eyes beamed with pride. She however did not show it, but instead appeared shy, and had all the young masters head over heels captivated by her.
However, the academy student who had exclaimed loudly stood up: "That's not right."
"What is wrong?"
"How could it be her, it could not be her."
"Who?"
"Helian Wei Wei!" Helian Wei Wei walked down the stage and that academy student's eyes were filled with shock.
Crash!
The teacup in Helian Jiao Er's hand had fallen to the ground and rolled back and forth. She turned around and looked at Helian Wei Wei who was dressed as a man incredulously, and her face changed.
How could this be!
Was this vile spawn not already dead!
Why has she appeared at the Martial Qi Competition?
"The one who single handedly took out the four families' masters was not a beggar, but Helian Wei Wei!" The students whispered, their voices got louder and louder.
Murong Changfeng stared in shock at the figure that came closer and closer.
Helian Wei Wei lazily pulled up her collar and took a big step forward, her legs long and slim. She stood under the twilight sky with her back straight, her posture beautiful and handsome.
Murong Changfeng suddenly grabbed the jade he was playing with in his hands, he used so much force that his knuckles were somewhat white. He felt his breathing had gotten slower, his heartbeat was incredibly slow and slowly grew bigger!
As the thundering noises of discussion grew louder, Helian Jiao Er's expression couldn't have looked worse, her face was pale!
In the quietness of the room, the Retired Emperor suddenly burst into laughter: " No doubt it's the bloodline of Helian Family. After so many years, she is still able to endure. Good! Very Good!"
The ministers were speechless at once, they were already shocked that Helian Wei Wei had solved the poison of the bones. Now someone has told them that the highly skilled beggar who shocked the capital was indeed Helian Wei Wei!
It all sounds like a dream!
Not only that, the most important thing is that she has already won seven or eight rounds in a row! Next, she is going to be against the ladies from the prominent families! At this level, the competition system will be different. The candidates will go onto the stage according to their candidate number and choose the opponent to challenge.
Helian Jiao Er squinted her villainous eyes and said something to Helian Mei by her side. Helian Mei blinked and waved to the ladies from the prominent families.
"Bong!"
The bronze gong sounded marking the official start of the finals!
Miss Fang was the first to start, her voice rang with pride: " I choose 151!"
151? Is that not Helian Wei Wei?
Helian Wei Wei raised her eyebrows, got up to stage: "Please."
"Still please?" Miss Fang sneered aloud: " So you opened the Armament shop and won a few rounds and now you think you're a big shot. Ha! You're just a lowly bastard!"
Upon hearing those words, the relaxed Helian Wei Wei's eyes lit up. No one could see her movements clearly, but only felt a gust of wind! She had already grabbed hold of Miss Fang's arm and threw her viciously!
Only a loud resounding bang was heard!
Miss Fang's lips had turned white, the pain felt like a surge of tides. She looked at her floppy arm and could not summon her martial qi. She just sat there paralyzed on the competition stage.
Helian Wei Wei half bent over, her eyes crinkled up with amus.e.m.e.nt, and asked her: " Does it hurt? If you feel pain then it is right."
Whilst she spoke, there was a crisp sound of a bone snapping. Miss Fang was in such severe pain that her eyes were straight, her face was pale and colourless. Obviously she had lost this competition...
However, Helian Wei Wei did not relax because just as she was about to go back to the resting area, the second contestant called out: "I choose number 151!"
Helian Wei Wei stormed back and looked at the proud missy on the stage and then looked at the smile on Helian Jiao Er's face. She squinted.
After the second round was over, Helian Wei Wei won without a doubt. Upon her triumph, she was back in the same situation as before! She had came straight from the preliminary round of the competition. Even though she wasn't that tired, she was thirsty.
The further along in the competition, the stronger the opponents were, and each person's martial qi attributes were different. Helian Wei Wei had to constantly change her moves in order to ensure she would continue to win all the way.
It was obvious that they were trying to use this type of tactic to attack her combat power and physical strength.
Although there was no rule in the competition system that said the same player could not be challenged continuously. But this is too much! Was this not obvious that it's bullying?
The officials who stood inside the building were invincible, but what surprised them was that the Third Prince who usually had an unmoving expression, peeled off his mask of indifference, deep glimpses of icy glares flashed through his eyes. Like a sharp blade, it chilled one's heart cold.
"Shadow, go find out whose idea this was."
Shadow respectfully looked down and spoke: "Yes."
The officials who were stood by his side were stunned. They didn't understand, Third Prince never involved himself in matters? Why did he speak up today?
In addition to the cold glare in Bali Jia Jue's eyes, there was also a murderous air. Helian Wei Wei was his person, even if she were to be bullied it can only be him who bullies her.
Dong!
Another drum sound.
The judge saw through the cunning scheme but there was no choice as the competition had to continue.
Helian Wei Wei did not show any emotions. In her opinion, this sort of method was nothing. In the modern times, this unfairness was common.
Originally, this world is the world of the weak and the strong, and the winner was the king and the loser was the enemy. The methods were different that's all.
Did they really think that she would be at a loss just like that?
Parlour tricks!
They have underestimated her title as the Mercenary Queen!
Helian Wei Wei laughed and squinted her eyes dangerously, she curled her lips at the judge: "Judge, I took a look at the competition system earlier, and I have made a decision."
"What decision?" The judge frowned.
Helian Wei Wei looked at him and said each word slowly: "I want to fight one against ten!"
Chapter 244 - Against Helian Wei Wei
Woah!
The crowd were in an uproar once the words were spoken!
One versus ten was very simple. That is once the challenger has fought ten people, the challenged person co
uld choose to fight them together. In which case, if they win the game, they can enter the finals directly.
However, due to the harsh conditions. Except ten years ago, when the genius Third Prince used one versus ten and broke the record, this system has never been mentioned.
Helian Wei Wei actually proposed the system of 'one versus ten' at such a time!? Is she desperate? What arrogance and foolishness!
Helian Wei Wei sneered and glared at Helian Mei. Helian Mei nodded and went up the stage. Two other wealthy young masters and seven ladies from prominent families followed suit. They clearly wanted Helian Wei Wei's life!
There was no change in Helian Wei Wei's expression, but the smile on her lips was a bit sinister.
"Woman, what are you up to?" Yuan Ming had resurfaced.
Helian Wei Wei pursed her thin lips: " It's a competition, what do you mean by what am I up to?"
Yuan Ming raised his eyebrows, it was clear that he did not believe her.
Just at this time.
The ten people had begun to use all their martial qi, their eyes fixed on Helian Wei Wei, they leapt towards her. This made Eunuch Sun break into cold sweat for her. Helian Wei Wei had always used close combat. With close combat, one to one, you could use your best moves. But against ten, it meant a quick death for Helian Wei Wei.
Everyone held their breath, there was tension reflected in their eyes as they looked at the fight on stage.
However, what surprised everyone was that none of the punches the ten people threw, including Helian Mei, brought any wind!
Helian Mei stared at her hand, stunned. By the time she had looked up again, Helian Wei Wei had already moved swiftly to her side and with a flying kick, kicked her off the stage. Upon seeing this, the other contestants had tried to summon all their martial qi, but they discovered that it could not be done!
What was going on?
The rest of the people looked at each other, Helian Wei Wei did not wait for them to alternate and was like a sword in a sheath, she shuttled between the people and grabbed one person's arm, with her vicious strength...
Snap!
