  "Let's talk for a moment," said Murong Changfeng with a low toned voice.

  In the face of a douchebag, Helian Wei Wei would not show any mercy, "I don't think I have anything to talk about with you."

  "Don't you want to know the real reason why the Third Prince married you?" When Murong Changfeng saw that Helian Wei Wei had turned and left, he raised his tone.

  Murong Changfeng clenched his fists, "Helian Wei Wei, don't tell me that you really think that he actually fell in love with you? Helian Wei Wei, use your brain to think about it again, what kind of man he is, there is no woman that he can't get his hands on. The only reason he married you is because the person that he truly loves is coming back, so he is conveniently using you as an excuse. Otherwise, if he is so smart, why doesn't he protect you from the Four Families? He is just holding you as his own weapon. You can do anything without any worries now, but when you are of no use to him anymore, do you know what fate you will face? Not only will you have to suffer from the criticism of others, you will also lose your title as the Third Princess Consort. If you are no longer the Third Princess Consort, do you really think you can win against the people of the Four Families with your little Wei Ze World? Putting the others aside, just the Third Prince himself, do you really think that he will let a 'pawn' like you who knows his numerous secrets live? He sent so many Shadows to follow you, and the reason for that, you know it better than anyone else. Even if I am to send off those people, time is needed, and when the time comes, you can't escape!"

  No wonder from the beginning, there were no Shadows following her, and it was not just the Shadows, even Qing Zhan disappeared.

  Helian Wei Wei stopped in her footsteps, and when she turned back, her eyes were filled with cruelty, "How does what happens to me got to do with you? Murong Changfeng, I have no time to play games with you, and don't always appear in front of me to get a scolding."

  A warning made to Murong Changfeng caused his anger to acc.u.mulate. Everything he said and done for this woman was for her own good, yet this woman was still ignorant!

  "Fine, fine! You can consider this as me being meddlesome, but I would like to see for myself to what extent would you be played around by the Third Prince!" Murong Changfeng turned and left, his face filled with unwillingness.

  Helian Wei Wei didn't even look at him once and continued to walk forward. Although she appeared as if what he said did not affect her, but the light in her eyes dimmed.

  She didn't know if it was because it was the time for it, but the pain in her lower abdomen worsened.

  Now, she really missed the 21st century's brown sugar soup.

  And those brothers in the Tang Sect...

  Yuan Ming who was quiet for a while finally commented, "Woman, no matter what, he said one thing right, and that is that the heart of an emperor is unfathomable."

  "I know." Helian Wei Wei's voice was as lazy and calm as ever, "When I decided to cooperate with His Highness, I understood the things that would happen, but one thing was beyond my calculation. If there is a person in his heart, then we are indeed not really suitable for any further cooperation."

  Yuan Ming did not comment.

  Helian Wei Wei fiddled with the hand rope that was originally an umbrella. The light in her eyes were faint, and the smile on her face brought out a sense of ridicule, "As expected, no one can be depended on, save for myself."

  Yuan Ming looked at her for a moment before saying, "Woman, don't forget, you have the Military Seal and myself."

  Helian Wei Wei smiled, "I certainly did not forget. I know very well what I'm doing, and if I don't send Helian Guang Yao to hell, it would be a waste of my reincarnation in this life."

  "It's good if you can think of it this way." Yuan Ming discovered that he really did not know how to comfort people.

  What came next was total silence.

  However at this time, Qing Zhan was standing in front of Yun Bilou, and there was a faint light in her eyes. If it wasn't for Hei Zhu's warning, she probably would not have suspected anything at all.

  But now, this person...

  Qing Zhan's sight followed Yun Biluo's and changed accordingly.

  It was as if Yun Biluo had seen her for a long time, but she did not plan to do anything. Instead, with her eyes looking as gentle as water, she looked back at her.

  Qing Zhan paused for awhile, and decided to take only one step forward. She still retained the characteristics of the dead, not saying much. Even though the other party had many problems, it was obvious that this place was not suitable for solving these problems.

  However.

  At this time, Yun Biluo opened her mouth with a happy tone, "Since you recognized me, why didn't you come to greet me? Qing Zhan, it has been so long. After so many years, you've grown so tall, you're no longer that same little girl whom I've known from a long time ago."

  Chapter 295 - Clever Wei Wei

  Qing Zhan's fingers went stiff. Then, she took a deep breath and said, "Elder sister, is it really you?"

  Yun Biluo gave a gentle smile, "Who else can it be if not me?"

  "I am just surprised." Qing Zhan recovered from her initial shock, "After all, at that time, we all thought that you have died. "

  Yun Biluo's eyes were stunned, "Silly girl, I'm still here."

  Qing Zhan looked at her again and didn't know what to say.

  After all, it had been a long time, so it couldn't be helped that they were not as close as before.

  Also, she had a rather quiet personality.

  Yun Biluo seemed to know her very well, she smiled again, "Let us walk around and talk about how you all have been for all these years."

  Qing Zhan looked at her smile and saw that the sun was about to go down, "Not now," she said, "I have to protect the princess consort."

  Yun Biluo's originally smiling face froze, but she quickly raised the corner of her lips again and ignored the word "princess consort", "Right, I just remembered to ask you, why are you not by Young Master Lie's side and instead appeared at..."

  "Elder sister," Qing Zhan suddenly interrupted Yun Biluo, "You have never thought about coming back all these years. Why did you decide to come back when His Highness is married?"

  Her water-like eyes immediately turned red when Yun Biluo heard her words, "Qing Zhan, it was not my decision to not come back. It was the Retired Emperor who did not allow me to appear."

  "Elder sister, you don't have to explain so much to her." Hei Zhu who was listening by the side suddenly appeared. She looked at Qing Zhan and sneered, "She has been brainwashed by Helian Wei Wei and is not even able to distinguish a simple right from wrong."

  Yun Biluo looked extremely uncomfortable, shaking her head at Hei Zhu.

  Qing Zhan did not wish to worsen the situation, but still she looked up and glanced at Hei Zhu, "It is you who is not able to distinguish right from wrong. Hei Zhu, don't forget that our master is His Highness."

  She looked deeply at Yun Biluo while speaking. The tears of her former sister made her feel uncomfortable.

  But she felt that the incident was strange since it began, so she had to set up a defence.

  "Hei Zhu, stop picking on her. She also has her difficulties." Yun Biluo s.u.c.k.e.d in a breath and coughed gently. When she looked back at Qing Zhan, she gave her a dazzling smile.

  "Elder sister, why are you so kind to such an ungrateful thing?" Hei Zhu said coldly, "What a waste for you to still remember her. She is nothing but an ingrate."

  Yun Biluo did not talk anymore, she looked at the back of Qing Zhan and slowly looked downwards.

  Naturally, Qing Zhan could hear the vituperation behind her. Her fingers tightened around the long sword she had on her before slowly releasing it a short while after.

  What she was most worried about now was how to tell the princess consort about this.

  Does His Highness know that elder sister is still alive?

  It is very likely for His Highness to meet elder sister since he is now in the White A
cademy as well. How will His Highness treat the princess consort once he knows about this?

  At that moment, Qing Zhan was somewhat retreating.

  She did not want to hurt the woman who helped her when she thought she was in an abyss…

  As the sun set, the twilight disappeared.

  Helian Wei Wei who was silent all this while stood up, she seemed like she had arranged her thoughts and clapped her hands, "Well, let's tidy up and find the old member of the legends."

  "Really?" Yuan Ming was shocked, "You have been taking care of a child since the beginning. How did you get any information on the old members?"

  Helian Wei Wei raised her lips, "I have a question for you. Let's say there are two inns and both are with guests. One day, a student got up in the night as he wanted to go to the toilet and lit the oil lamp. He got scared when he saw a man in front who was holding a nail as he nailed a person to the wall. Just when he wanted to lie back, he saw the man who held the nail raise his head and look over at him. He pointed at him and said something. What do you think the man with the nail was saying?"

  "What else can it be, he definitely said that the next one is you." As a demon, Yuan Ming was very confident in the answer he gave.

  Helian Wei Wei raised her eyelids, "You're wrong."

  "I'm wrong?" Yuan Ming couldn't believe it. He had never been more curious for an answer like he did now, "Then, what was the person with the nail saying?"

  Helian Wei Wei raised her eyes, "He was counting in the room where you stayed..."

  The fine hair on Yuan Ming's body stood up when he heard this.

  Helian Wei Wei continued, "Ordinary people will subconsciously think at the perspective of the student and the answer given in usual circ.u.mstances would be the same as what you said. But the real murderer will act directly from the beginning. In the place where I used to live, America's FBI would give a few questions in order to test who is the serial killer. There are very few people who scored 60% and above, unless those people were of unsound mind. The methodology provides us a principle. The first step to find people is to think from his or her perspective. This way, it will be more efficient."

  "So?" Yuan Ming forced himself to take his thoughts out of that strange case. He raised his brow and asked, "Who do you think the old member of the Battle Spirit Forces will be?"

  Helian Wei Wei smiled, "First of all, I don't think this person is very old. According to the general latent deployment, the leader can be an old man like old man Huan, but for the real member of the Battle Spirit Forces and to be able to hide so well in the White Academy, it must be a man in his thirties. This age group doesn't only mean he is strong, but he can also carry out various activities better. Moreover, his position must be higher than that of old man Huan and the rest. It is the rule of any mercenary that the higher the position, the deeper he can hide. Not only outsiders, even the leader will not know his true identity. His real combat power is often concentrated in the thirties age range. Also, if I am the person in charge of the Battle Spirit Forces, I will become a person who can access any information I want to in order to understand the qualifications of the students of White Academy and reserve my new students. Also, I will be able to cover up the students who will perform the tasks so that I can remain as the mystery of Battle Spirit Forces. With this thought in mind, that person must be one who has the absolute power, who doesn't choose any faction, and is able to do his job with skill and ease among the major families, and there is only one person in White Academy who fulfills these requirements..."

  Chapter 296 - Wei Wei's Thoughts

  "Dean of the White Academy, Tu Sufeng." Helian Wei Wei lowered her tone, as if it was settled there and then.

  Yuan Ming touched his chin and said, "Woman, you should never say any of this to the others. Be careful that people might regard you as a weirdo and try to eliminate you if they find out about your inner thoughts."

  "I know this even without you telling me." Helian Wei Wei flicked the weed in her hand and said, "We can go now, but the timing for us to approach the dean has yet to come. The key is to think about ways that would make him admit it himself."

  Yuan Ming raised his eyebrows, "Woman, I noticed that you aren't fl.u.s.tered at all. Will you not be sad if the Third Prince is really like what Murong Changfeng said?"

  Helian Wei Wei stopped walking. She stood against the light as her hair swayed in the air. "When I was little, someone told me not to depend on others because I will become vulnerable."

  "Oh?" Yuan Ming smiled, "I like someone who can say things like this."

  Helian Wei Wei smiled, and criticised him with what he said before, "Forget about it, things won't end well for human-devil relationsh.i.p.s. Besides, he is straight, so he will never be interested in you."

  Yuan Ming glared at her, "Woman, please don't tell me that you have another lover unknown to the Third Prince. You sound like you are reluctant to let him go."

  "Oh no, what should I do, you got it right." Helian Wei Wei joked and walked toward the Inferior Compound. Indeed, she was unaffected, she was always like this, dauntless.

  You are on your own even if you are in so much pain that you wished you were dead.

  People might feel pitiful and mourn, but they will never know to what extent had your wound festered.

  Perhaps, there might really be that one person in the world, that he would rather take the pain for you when you are having menstrual pain.

  But unfortunately, she never met someone as such.

  So it did not matter whether she was sad or not.

  Only then can she go into battle in the turmoil and chaos of war without any burden…

  However, she couldn't be carefree when she was going through menstruation. Helian Wei Wei quickly returned to the Inferior Compound and laid down on her bed, with a layer of thick blanket covered on her.

  This was what Qing Zhan saw when she returned. She quickly asked Helian Wei Wei whether anything happened to her.

  Helian Wei Wei sat up while hugging her blanket and waved her hand, "Is it time for dinner?"

  "Yes." Qing Zhan looked at Helian Wei Wei's pale face and said, "I'll go and get His Highness."

  Helian Wei Wei dragged the blanket closer to her casually and said, "What can His Highness do? He is not a doctor. Also, it is not suitable for a doctor to treat me too. The dining canteen must have run out of food by this time. Let's go to the Trading Compound and drink a bowl of hot soup there."

  Qing Zhan retracted her leg and looked at Helian Wei Wei's facial expression. She looked absent-minded as she was thinking about Yun Biluo.

  She was so deep into her thoughts that Helian Wei Wei called her thrice but she did not hear her.

  Helian Wei Wei looked helpless. She held out a hand and waved in front of her eyes.

  Qing Zhan went blank, "Princess consort."

  "You've finally collected your wits." Helian Wei Wei pointed at the door frame in front of her and said, "Better be careful when you are walking so you can avoid the danger of disfiguring yourself."

  Qing Zhan paused and replied, "Yes."

  Helian Wei Wei yawned and her gaze slowly stopped on her, "If you are acting abnormally because of that Miss Yun who suddenly appeared today, you can save the fuss."

  Qing Zhan never thought that she would hear the words "Miss Yun" from Helian Wei Wei's mouth!

  The princess consort already knows?

  What does she know? To what extent?

  Qing Zhan couldn't help but to admit that she panicked at that moment.

  So...

  "Princess consort, do not be too bothered by my elder sister. She is the past. Since His Highness chose you, he must have his own reasons." Qing Zhan's voice was calm. She was trying to say it calmly but she sounded slightly unconfident at the end.

  Helian Wei Wei raised her brows and she suddenly smiled, "Seems like you have a pretty good relationship with her."

  Qing Zhan did not see the depth in that smile. She was only thinking ab
out the way she should utter her words to minimise the damage, "We were all death knights who followed His Highness around. Elder sister was already here when I entered the palace that year. She was the death knight who was protecting His Highness for the longest period of time. As the maid who took care of His Highness since he was a child, she knew a lot more than any of us on His Highness' habits and attitudes. His Highness also…" Qing Zhan paused and said, "His Highness had been treating her well too, but a fire destroyed everything. His Highness was badly injured. Everything changed after he woke up. Elder sister went missing and His Highness lost his martial Qi. Everyone was so emotional and grieved. We all thought that elder sister was dead but unexpectedly, she was still alive all this while. The only reason she didn't come back was because the Retired Emperor did not agree with her relationship with His Highness, so he never wanted to let her come back."

  Helian Wei Wei was shocked, "So she was a death knight and she even had a relationship with Baili Jia Jue."

  Qing Zhan went blank, "Princess consort, you didn't know?"

  "Now I know." Helian Wei Wei looked at her with a smile on her face, "Thank you, Qing Zhan. It was very clear and precise."

  "But, but just now…" Qing Zhan stuttered. She felt like she was tricked into talking. She thought that the princess consort knew everything or else why would she mention Miss Yun all of a sudden!

  Helian Wei Wei was innocent, "I was guessing that you most probably knew Miss Yun, because the way you looked at her wasn't right. Whereas the other stories, I'll just take them as rumors ."

  Rumors… so that's it?

  Qing Zhan lifted her head and looked at Helian Wei Wei's face from time to time. She noticed that there were no changes in her expression whatsoever.

  Qing Zhan was confused. Don't tell me that Helian Wei Wei is so fond of His Highness that she couldn't even notice the underlying meaning of my words.
