Thinking on his usual interactions with the people around him, the usual reactions were fear or baseless flattering. Baili Jia Jue furrowed his brows, now that there was someone here to topple the scales, it broke free of the usual behaviours that he was used to. However this didn't mean that this little thing that didn't know the difference between life and death could be so bold!
She was really seeking death!
Helian Jiao Er looked his way, and softly said, "Your Highness, please calm down, Elder Sister didn't mean to make you angry, His Highness must also have heard the rumors about Elder Sister, what she said was rather bold..."
When she mentioned the word 'bold', the implied meaning behind the word was understood by all.
Many of these noble ladies knew that Helian Wei Wei was full of antics and had done so many disgraceful things and now that those deeds have come to the surface, they gave her undisguised glances, full of contempt.
When Baili Jia Jue heard this, his lips hooked up and he looked at her, his emotions were unfathomable.
Helian Jiao Er shyly lowered her head when she saw his reaction, as the famed War Dragon Empire's talented and beauty, she confidently thought that no man could escape from her grasp, moreover this was the person in her heart, so she smiled sweetly...
Baili Jia Jue looked at Helian Jiao Er, and smiled, it was a gentle smile but there was a hint of mirth in it.
Helian Jiao Er didn't know it but she was already drawn in her own world, fantasizing that he would turn and take the initiative to talk to her.
Baili Jia Jue turned back, as he reached out and lifted Helian Wei Wei's chin slightly,, in an ambiguous posture, looking as if he was going to kiss her anytime...
How could this be?
Didn't he hear what she just said!
That bitch was just intolerable!
Helian Jiao Er was very jealous, and clenched her hands so hard her that her nails were digging into her flesh and made her bleed!
However, Baili Jia Jue turned a blind eye to everything else, as he leaned in closer, so close that Helian Wei Wei could smell the faint smell of sandalwood, the indescribable smell was tickling her nose...
"Woman, remember that you provoked me first!"
He said that threateningly in a deep voice, so close to her ear that his lips almost brushed past. He then flourished his sleeves and turned to leave. Helian Wei Wei wrinkled her brows and looked at the man who was walking away, a glint in her eyes.
Baili Jia Jue slowly walked out, the sunlight shone on him as his radiance seemed to be captivating and he seemed not of this world even after he was long gone, the pressure of his aura remained.
After a long time, Aunt Mei let out a heavy sigh of relief, and said, "Miss, how could you speak like that to the Ghost Palace?"
"I say what I want to say." Helian Wei Wei was too lazy to bother anymore as she stretched her waist, and faintly said, "Aunt Mei, we should go back."
Aunt Mei hesitated and said, "But Miss, the injury on your forehead..."
"Rest assured, this injury doesn't hurt." Helian Wei Wei had had worse injuries in her previous life, now that she had just arrived on this in this new world, she wouldn't rest until she made her enemies pay for what they did to her!
After passing Baili Jia Jue, Helian Guangyun turned around to see his daughter leaving as his heart felt uncertain.
Was this his waste of a daughter?
But Helian Guang Yao who didn't put Helian Wei Wei in his eyes didn't think too much about it,as he turned to look at Murong Chang Feng.
Murong Chang Feng was absent-mindedly looking in the direction where Helian Wei Wei just left in, he didn't know what to think.
"Master, what is the Eldest Helian Miss up to now? What kind of tricks is she playing at?" Si Xi, a small boy serving under Murong Chang Feng as a scholar's study who stood beside him asked, his tone full of confidence, even his eyes mirrored what he said as he said it out loud in an arrogant manner.
In the past that lady was always trying all means and ways to stick to his Master, why was she acting like this today? She disappeared without even glancing in his Master's direction, this was simply too odd.
"What do you think?" Murong Chang Feng looked away from Helian Wei Wei and said with a heavy tone.
Si Xi cried out in exasperation, "She was so close to the Lord, now it is the opposite, she is clearly playing hard to get!"
Hearing this, Murong Chang Feng stopped speaking, his handsome face had on a look of disgust.
Helian Guang Yao saw his face and laughingly said, "Please do not bother about that daughter of mine who doesn't know the world, as for Jiao Er, I would need you to help me take good care of her."
Murong Chang Feng glanced at Helian Jiao Er, and saw her looking at the ground shyly, smiled and said, "General Helian please rest assured, Jiao Er is already a student of the White Academy, by virtue of her martial skills, as long as she wins the annual White Academy competition, I will naturally introduce her to my Master and see if she has the opportunity to join the Martial Arts Division."
Martial Arts Division...
Helian Jiao Er was really surprised, her face lit up.
The Martial Arts Division was the elite force of Martial artists, while there they would at least double their strength.
But the people who could get into it were few because each person had to be the best of the best, and have a certain amount of strength and talent to be able to join.
If she could have a renowned Master to give her pointers … Helian Jiao Er raised her eyes in determination: "Last year's competition, Young Master was also present. Those competitors were only a year difference in terms of age. I am confident that I can win this competition!"
On the other side, Helian Wei Wei returned to her abode but instead of heading back to her room, she went over to the courtyard and narrowed her eyes as her gaze rested at the corner.
Since her mother had died, she had abandoned this courtyard. It was actually a very good location, in winter it was warm and in the summer it was cool, it was locked up since the demise of her mum. In it, was a field of red flowers.
It was time for them to see the sun!
Helian Wei Wei took the key off her necklace and opened the lock.
Aunt Mei hastily said, "Miss, didn't you say that you will have a nightmare when you open it?"
"There won't be anymore in the future." Helian Wei Wei said, her eyes shining brightly.
She walked to the study, the furnishings had changed, her grandfather's favorite rocking chair had been sold by the Su's.
Today's Helian Mansion was a shadow of its former self.
Helian Wei Wei stood in the middle of the old empty study, and trailed her fingers across the bookshelf, feeling the cool wood.
There must've been somebody who searched in here!
The furnishings in the room were arranged in a complex order, but it wasn't obvious that they were well organised, it was because it was Helian Wei Wei, had it been anybody else, they would not have noticed it.
Because of the subtle details, only experienced people could see through the clues at once!
Helian Wei Wei's fingers stopped on an old dilapidated book, she also could not place which year it was written and she looked at the cover and flipped it open. In it, there were lots of words she couldn't read.
When she had opened the book, the wooden windows started to shake violently, as if there was something trying to break through the door!
Chapter 7 - Handsome man with silver hair
Helian Wei Wei turned her head, and saw that in front of her, sunlight was condensing at an impeccable speed, as a burst of colourful rays of lights shone in. However, everything was too blinding for her to see clearly what was standing before her, all she could make out was a cascading silver, glistening in the light.
A stark contrast to that was the body that donned on a long black robe, emitting a heavy dangerous aura, his broad chiseled c.h.e.s.t was partially exposed, his whole
being gave off an ice cold atmosphere.
In that moment, the man who was basking under the lights, let out a sigh, suddenly he broke into laughter. His laughs were filled with excitement and the d.e.s.i.r.e to see the world again.
Helian Wei Wei frowned, her first reaction was, this person was not human!
Finally he stopped laughing, turned over, and looked at Helian Wei Wei, as his red lips curved into a smile, displaying his sharp white teeth, and asked " Are you the one who released this Lord?"
"Obviously, since you and I are the only people here." Helian Wei Wei closed the book she was holding, crossed her long slender legs, as she leaned on the chair, in a very domineering yet suave posture.
The man raised his eyebrow in interest as he asked: "You don't seem to fear me?"
Just as Helian Wei Wei was going to say something, suddenly his expression changed, he felt a mark imprinting itself to his spine!
He narrowed his eyes as an intense wave of pain washed over him, as he felt something suppressing his voice and growled "Damn it, what did you do to this Lord's body!"
Helian Wei Wei shrugged her shoulders, how would she know? She had just teleported here….
"It's a contract! You made a contract with this Lord?!" The man glared at her, his silver hair drifting with the wind, like a beast about to attack."
Helian Wei Wei watched in amus.e.m.e.nt when she saw a pair of fluffy white wolf ears appear on his head. Her phoenix eyes glimmered in delight, unable to control herself, she reached out….
"You dare! Woman I'm warning you, if you dare to touch any part of this Lord, I will chop off your hands!" His domineering eyes squinted, his face was scrunched up in anger!
Helian Wei Wei ignored him, and grabbed the pair of wolf ears, and asked excitedly "It's real?"
The man "......."
"What do you think?" Hmph, he sneered, this woman actually went on and ignored him, even insulted his body, and yet she continued to question if his ears were real...He simply couldn't bear it any longer!
Helian Wei Wei smirked, "It feels pretty good."
Who asked you how it felt?! He was so angry, his ears twitched.
Helian Wei Wei raised her eyebrow and smiled "Very good, you also know how to act cute."
What the hell is acting cute!
The man gnashed his teeth in anger, just when he got back his freedom, he fell into the evil claws of a human again, it's just abominable!
"It looks like you've been locked up in this ancient book for many years?" Helian Wei Wei asked, wanting to fish out some information.
The man gloomily replied "Five hundred years, otherwise why do you think it was so easy to make a contract with me, with your meek powers?"
"You can go." Helian Wei Wei didn't seem to care if he stayed or not.
The man's eyes sunk. "If I could go, I would've left already. But since the contract is made already, this Lord has to stay by your side. Additionally I can't disobey you, till I help you fulfill your d.e.s.i.r.es, or my soul would disappear, and unable to reincarnate for life!"
"So... I'm your master now?" Helian Wei Wei lifted herself off the chair, her soft and gentle expression was gone as she straightened her back. This woman's body was obviously fragile and thin, and yet at that moment her body seemed to emit an aura of supremacy
This made the man's eyes widen, the man smiled thinking that this human was very interesting…...
"You can interpret it like that too."
Suddenly he smiled, there was a glint in his eyes, as vitality was damaged now, if he stayed with the Master, it would greatly help his recovery. Also….He is looking forward to see how this girl will achieve her d.e.s.i.r.es, if it's killing people, he would gladly help her!
The man licked his lips, this action seems to emit a sinister hostility…...
Helian Wei Wei nonchalantly flipped through the ancient ancient book in her hands "Since it's like that, tell me, what is your name."
"My surname is Yuan, name is Ming." His eyes filled with arrogance, silently waiting for the human to fiercely worship him after hearing his name.
It's just that…..
Helian Wei Wei smirked, " Never heard that name before."
"You!" Yuan Ming glared furiously at Wei Wei, his black eyes sank. "Woman, do you feel anything different about your body?"
After hearing what he said Helian Wei Wei looked towards the mirror, the originally dark skin peeled of, revealing snow white skin…..
Helian Wei Wei was stunned, her fingers gently c.a.r.e.s.s her chin, suddenly smiled "Interesting."
"It's very interesting indeed." Yuan Ming smirked "When I just came out, I checked your meridians, according to what I see, you're suppose to be a martial art genius, but your meridians were blocked, veins obstructed….. Woman, someone doesn't want you to succeed."
After hearing this information, Helian Wei Wei was eerily calm. "There's a lot of people who wants me to fail, they're just some insignificant ants. However, can you fix them, my meridians especially?"
"Not only I can fix your meridians, I can give you an extra treasure. I can dispel the poison in your body, and you can start to cultivate once more…." Along with the arrogant voice of Yuan Ming, Wei Wei suddenly felt an immense pain from her limbs, before she was able to ask, she fell into the dark abyss…..
When she opened her eyes, it was already morning, if it wasn't for the thin layer of sweat covering her forehead, she would have thought that, it was just a dream.
Yet Wei Wei knew that it wasn't a dream, she flipped the ancient book to a certain page, rows of red words appeared.
'Contract established, till death'
Helian Wei Wei smiled and hugged the ancient book.
Damn woman, tightly hugging him, she probably fell in love with him!
Yuan Ming awkwardly thought, after grunting twice, he fell into a deep sleep inside the ancient book….
Helian Wei Wei slept in an empty courtyard for a night, Aunt Mei was naturally worried for Wei Wei, but what's more worrying is that she received a letter from the White Academy.
"Helian Wei Wei, female, sixteen years old, Cultivation level low, innate talent low, general score barely passed, due to being absent, we hereby warn you, if you don't go through the admission process in ten days, we the academy will completely revoke the qualification."
Helian Wei Wei stared at the puzzling letter, why if she separated the words, she could understand. But when the words are combined together, it would make her head hurt!
Go to school?
Hahahahaha..Wasn't this the ancient time? Where everyone was clamouring to climb up the social ladder through relations?
They wanted her, the Mercenary Queen to carry a small backpack and go to school?!
Hah! Carry it there to do what? Blow up the school?!
Chapter 8 - Armament Master Assembly
"Miss..." Aunt Mei noticed her Miss' delighted yet annoyed gaze, she sighed "This old servant knows that you do not want to enter this academy, that year when the academy was recruiting, you were the first to pass, yet after the test… It's been eight years, every year when you step into that place, you would be ridiculed and laughed at. But Miss, this time you can't delay anymore, if you keep delaying, you won't be able to go there again...."
Helian Wei Wei softly say "Aunt Mei you don't have to worry about it, I know what I'm supposed to do."
From the memory fragments she saw that the White Academy, was the place she did not want to go to, not only did she fear all the ridicule, but also due to the fact that when she was seven years old, she was admitted into the academy and she became instantly famous and she was hailed a genius, creating quite a stir in the city.
She felt burdened, worried that she, who lost all her cultivation, won't be able to keep all the glory she brought to her mother, so she kept dawdling to go to the academy.
Helian Wei Wei squinted her eyes, hold on, what's this?!
Notice for new disciples: School expense ten thousand t
aels, total of three years, on the first day of school the fee must be settled?
There's a fee?!
Ten thousand taels?
She doesn't even have a thousand...
Helian Wei Wei lazily tapped on the wooden table, this was her typical movement when she was thinking.
That Su woman was smart with this kind of things, never once had she let her be short on food and clothes, even assigning the servant to send the best silk to her, however she never gave Helian Wei Wei any money!
To outsiders, her stepmother was very generous and benevolent, but it was all just for show.
Helian Wei Wei understood it well, if she didn't enter the academy in time, she would lose everything.
Because she could only regain the former glory that belonged to her at the academy!
When Aunt Mei saw the exorbitant school fees, she was hesitant, but she stood up and said " Young Miss doesn't need to worry about the school expense, this old servant will go to the main courtyard to find the old master."
"No need." Helian Wei Wei randomly placed the letter on the table "Aunt Mei remember this, don't just go looking for that waste for help every time when there's trouble. I, Helian Wei Wei don't need it."
Aunt Mei's eyes trembled and smiled " Yes, this old servant won't go anymore!"
Mistress, are you seeing this?
The young Miss changed, thoroughly changed!
This was the true Helian family bloodline, persistent and dauntless, who fully understood between whom or what to hate or love!
"But the expense..." Aunt Mei was still concerned about it.
Actually the students who could enter the White Academy, were mainly those heirs of nobles and those with authority, so this amount of money was a piece of cake to them.
But to Aunt Mei right now, even if she wanted to, she still couldn't round up this much money.
Helian Wei Wei stood up, her black eyes radiated with a tinge of mischievousness, "I have my own way dealing this situation."
Aunt Mei wanted to ask what was she going to do, but seeing the disturbing smile on Helian Wei Wei's face, she just kept quiet. Even though knowing it's not possible, but she still had hope, maybe Miss does have a plan.....
