"In my life, this Lord will never marry a good-for-nothing who doesn't have any sense of honor." Murong Chang Feng coldly laughed with disdain, turned his face as if he turned into an ice carving at White mountain, disgusted yet firm.
Helian Wei Wei did not care about their reaction in the slightest, left hand juggling a strawberry, allowing sneers to burst behind her.
In the distance, a man's distinctly black and white eyes, reflected the indifferent face. That face, calm, unhurried, unruly and unbending, was worlds apart from the previous good-for-nothing.
The thin lips below the man's silvery face formed a perverse smile. Helian Wei Wei, you are indeed quite interesting . . . seeing as you're so interesting, this Royal One will spare you for a few more days. Such an amusing prey, playing to death too soon, would be no fun. . .
"Your Highness?" The trembling shadow was covered in goosebumps. [Oh my god, can you stop smiling? In what way are you not satisfied? You can directly say it!]
"Go." The man lightly dropped a word, as he flourished his long sleeves, his back like a pine.
The shadow was dazed. "Go?"
Hadn't it been agreed that today, the "Red Phoenix Star" would be killed?
His Highness had changed his mind again?
Based on the master's recent habits, the longer the delay in putting away someone, the end for that someone would usually be even more tragic.
The shadow looked back, glanced at the Helian Wei Wei advancing again in the street market, he quietly prayed for the other . . .
At the other side, Murong Chang Feng, whose anger hadn't subsided, brought Helian Jiao Er and entered an inn. The reason they journeyed together today, was because Murong Chang Feng wanted to take Helian Jiao Er to introduce her to his teacher, Master Tu Lao.
Tu Lao saw his own disciple's face filled with rage, slamming the door coming in, wrinkled his brow, "Chang Feng, how many times had this Master told you, in wanting to become a success in martial cultivation, cultivating is important, but state of mind is also very important."
"Yes!" Murong Chang Feng grasps his hands, although a little unconvinced, but still finally acquiesced.
Tu Lao did not fail to notice, but he didn't point it out. This disciple of his was good in every way, except he was a bit proud, didn't listen to others' teachings, maybe because of his high birth, ai! Unlike yesterday's lass who conducted herself cooly, neither haughty nor meek, only a bit money-grubbing.
Thinking of this, Tu Lao then felt a bit of regret "Fine, let's not talk about this. The person I wanted you to find, have you found her?"
Murong Chang Feng shook his head, replied, "Disciple ransacked the entire capital, yet still did not find the young girl Master spoke of. Master, who is this girl to actually be worth so much of your attention?"
"A peerless genius!" When Tu Lao spoke of this girl, he was unable to hold back his excitement, "It's because you don't know how high her talent for Armament Assembling is! Even the esteemed Grandmaster wants to take her in as a disciple, to instruct her personally!"
What?
Murong Chang Feng raised his head, the light in his pupils flashed in astonishment!
Previously, he also wanted to recognize that old man as Master. However, no matter how he himself came to plead, or even with his father, Prince Murong, having sent invitations, that eccentric character, whose standards were of the highest, didn't even meet them once!
Yet now, that old man unexpectedly wanted to accept a disciple, he was really curious just who had caught that old man's eye?
Chapter 16 - Crashing into Something
"My Lord, who was the young female genius that you're talking about?" Not being able to stand having been neglected for so long, Helian Jiao Er delicately opened her mouth, "Maybe my father can help look around."
Murong Chang Feng now recalled that Helian Guan Yao was also present at the Inn, he hastily proceeded to make the introduction, "Master, this is the Military Minister, Grand Advisor Helian."
"Hadn't the High Priest always been directly in charge of the military? Is the replacement able to manage?" Tu Lao was still preoccupied with finding the young girl. He didn't think it through and already blurted out the words.
Helian Guang Yao's smile froze, he spoke a little awkwardly, "I am only assisting. I've met you, Master, once before, and this time, Lord Murong brought me to meet Master with the hope that Master can accept my daughter as a disciple."
At this time, Tu Lao became aware that he misspoke and realized that it's not good to directly turn down Helian Guang Yao's request. He just slapped his own forehead and replied, "Look at this brain of mine that is having more and more difficulty thinking, I'm getting old, getting old. I've seen the person, yet has forgotten in an instant!"
"Then my daughter's matter?" Helian Guang Yao probed.
Tu Lao looked and looked at Helian Jiao Er standing behind him, "Since my disciple is making the recommendation, her talent must be far from ordinary."
Having heard what was said, Helian Jiao Er's face revealed a complacency that could not be concealed.
Tu Lao thought to himself [Here's another one who is overfilled with vanity] and shook his head, continued his reply, "Actually, right now, I only wanted to accept that young girl we just talked about as a disciple. As for other people, let's forget it."
Having never been rejected by anyone before, a malevolent thought quickly flashed in Helian Jiao Er's eyes [Whoever that young girl is, could she compare to myself?]
Even though she thought this in her heart, on the surface, Helian Jiao Er did not show it, she only gracefully smiled, "Jiao Er would really like to meet the sister that Master was talking about."
"Ha ha, I also would like to see that girl again. Too bad I only know she is about 15 to 16 years old and don't know anything else about her. That girl was surprisingly skilled. She seemed to have disappeared from the earth, the clothes she was wearing should've come from a prestigious household. How could she not have been found? Tu Lao chattered endlessly to himself. He could never imagine that it's not because Helian Wei Wei disappeared from the world. Rather, since the beginning, Murong Chang Feng already eliminated Helian Wei Wei from consideration. Therefore, even though Murong Chang Feng ransacked the entire capitol, he still couldn't find the genius at Phoenix Loft that day…
On the second day, the sun was riding high in the sky. The wind was clear and crisp.
Countless numbers of luxurious horse carriages left the city. The scene was extremely grand. Within the capitol, there wasn't anyone who didn't know that today was White Academy's opening day.
All the ladies from influential families dressed similarly elaborately. Only Helian Wei Wei dressed casually. She only carried a small book bag and got ready to hit the road…
After stepping out of the door, Helian Mei wrinkled her brows in dislike, turned her head while shaking Helian Guang Yao's arm and said, "Father, you're not still thinking of putting Second Sister and her in the same horse carriage, are you? Her destitute style, if people saw it, how could I and Second Sister make friends at the academy?"
"That demoness simply can not have a share in this horse carriage!" Helian Guang Yao patted Helian Mei, "When you arrive at the academy, you and your second sister can feel free to pretend like you don't know her."
"Yes, father!" Helian Mei sweetly laughed out loud. Facing Helian Wei Wei's direction, she gave a satisfied glance.
Helian Wei Wei didn't pay her any attention. Rather than wasting time here, why not start the journey earlier.
"That father really is a beast, all are his daughters, yet they get to ride in a horse carriage, while you have to up the mountain on your own." Yuan Ming's husky voice was filled with a laziness which sounded like he just woke up.
Helian Wei Wei indifferently raised her eyebrows, "Yuan Ming, don't use the animals as a comparison while talking about that man, the animals will cry from the injustice."
"Your qi breath is this dense?" Yuan Ming laughed devilishly, "Lo
oks like you advanced again yesterday."
The ends of Helian Wei Wei's mouth curved a bit and didn't deny it.
Yuan Ming burst with excitement, "Then go quickly, when you arrive at White Academy, kill until not a single one remains!"
Helian Wei Wei, ". . . . . "
That guy loves to fight and kill, aye, the dislike and grievances brought by those at White Academy are not yet that deep . . . . .
"Second Sister, look at the way that good-for-nothing is dressed, looks really silly." Helian Mei lifted the carriage's curtain, a sneer on her face.
Helian Jiao Er was letting her maid change the flower on her head, while observing the going-ons from behind the carriage's curtain. Her eyes flashed, replied, "Then does Third Sister want to see her look even worse?"
"Of course I want to!" Helian Mei immediately turned around, "What good idea does Second Sister have?"
Helian Jiao Er giggled lightly, "I heard that White Academy's grounds had fixed closing times. Once the courtyard's closing time passed, White Academy would be thoroughly cut off from the outside. We only need to arrive at the academy earlier than that good-for-nothing and block the entrance that she'll need to go through. Let's see how she'll be admitted at that time!"
"Is that not going too easily on her?" All this time, Helian Mei was unable to forget the slap she received two days ago. Her eyes became gloomy, "We should thoroughly destroy that wretch's prospects instead."
Helian Jiao Er laughed, "Third Sister, you haven't carefully looked at the admissions notice, right? The admissions notice stated that those who did not arrive by the appointed time will cause their admittance to be cancelled forever."
"This time, wouldn't that wretch, Helian Wei Wei, be screwed for sure!" Helian Mei viciously laughed out loud, her laughter reverberated within the carriage for a long time without subsiding...
At midday, halfway at the summit, Helian Wei Wei looked at the boulder blocking the entrance, her eyebrows creased lightly.
"How is there a boulder at this place?" Yuan Ming lifted his head, said with suspicion. "Such a big boulder doesn't look like it could've rolled down from the mountain."
Helian Wei Wei walked full circle around the boulder, the light in her eyes a bit cold, a fine thread of red could be perceived, "You're right, this rock indeed did not roll down from the mountain. Not only that, someone purposefully placed it here."
"Your two stupid sisters did something again." Yuan Ming could do nothing about it, "Why do they like to provoke you so much?"
Helian Wei Wei lifted her brow, "They're jealous of my handsomeness?"
"Oh please, you're female not male!" Yuan Ming lazily headed towards the boulder and sprawled on top of it. "What do we do now?" My body is empty (of energy) and your martial cultivation strength is not strong enough. With such a large boulder blocking the way, how are you going to enter? Girl, I must remind you, you don't have a lot of time, if no one removes this chunk of rock, you will be closed off from the academy forever!"
Having heard that, Helian Wei Wei laughed perversely, "Who said we have to go through the entrance to enter the compound?"
Yuan Ming, ". . . . . "
"Hey, hey, hey, girl, do you need to hold onto this venerable one so tightly! Are you climbing over a wall, or are you molesting me! ! !"
"Shut up!"
Yuan MIng's wildly arrogant and irritated protests were coming from all sides, Helian Wei Wei singlemindedly lowered her head and pressured him, completely without having determined the condition of the ground at the bottom of the other side of the enclosure. She pushed forward without looking back and proceeded to jump down!
Crash!
Helian Wei Wei immediately crashed into something...
Chapter 17 - Kissing Someone
Eh….. something seemed a bit weird.
More particularly the feeling on her lips. It felt cool yet had a familiar taste of mint as the softness penetrated her heart and made her whole body shiver.
The sensation was like eating a sweet vanilla flavored ice cream.
Wait! That wasn't right! How could there be ice cream ?!
Helian Wei Wei snapped her eyes open, noticing the fact that she had fallen into the arms of a man!
What was even more peculiar, was that their lips were touching each other!
Shadow who stood on the side watched the sudden occurrence with an O shaped mouth. His thoughts were scrambled for a moment. Neglecting what he wanted to say and furthermore forgetting to help his highness up, Shadow was just standing there astonished, completely frozen up!
This… this…wasn't this the 'Red Phoenix' that the lord wanted to kill?!
Why did she suddenly appear jumping over the wall and kissing the lord with no concern for her life?!
Helian Wei Wei wanted to say: "It's just a kiss, even herself, the main character, is chill, why are the people on the side overreacting ?" but before she could speak, the man who was pushed down by her shoved her off harshly like she was some kind of germ!
She then clearly saw the man's appearance. He had a cold smile on his face that made the whole world lose its beauty. His jet black hair were glowing with an ominous feeling, his feather-like and slightly curled eyelashes were ravishing and sparkled when the light hit him, his straight porcelain nose, his lips glimmering with a pearly shimmer, easily arousing the d.e.s.i.r.e to kiss them.
The torn lips made him even more alluring. That one drop of blood dyed his lips red, enhancing that provocative face. It was simply captivating.
There was just one imperfection and that was the man's gaze. It was like he had lost something extremely important to him!
Aren't you mistaken? Aren't girls usually the ones who are on the unfavorable side? Moreover, this was her first kiss, what was there to be unsatisfied of?!
Although… if she had an appearance like his, she would be unsatisfied too.
After all, it was her fault. She just had to leap over the wall without looking and land on a passerby, and – Cough cough – kissed the-said passerby without consent.
Yup, kissed him without his consent.
She, Helian Wei Wei, had done a lot of bad sins before, but she had never done something that made her feel this guilty. Plus, this man who was obsessed with cleanliness and was a perfectionist, right now, had a chillingly gloomy face as his black endless eyes were filled with menace, pressuring people, making it hard to even take a breath.
That's the dark aura of someone who was the king from above since a long time ago.
That's way she should probably leave before anyone reacts. Helian Wei Wei picked up the small bag on the ground, planning to walk away.
Before she could even lift her leg up, she was picked up like a baby chick. He brought her up by her collar with his gloved left hand, his voice cold : "Where are you going ?"
This woman was actually planning to run away acting like nothing happened after forcefully kissing him?
Thinking, Baili Jia Jue's eyes became even colder.
Every year, there would be a lot of new students and Nangong Lie knows that he likes tranquility. That's why he secretly arranged this courtyard for him. And yet, when he had just arrived, he saw a bag flying at him, then this woman came flying after…
Baili Jia Jue looked over and frowned, seeming to be thinking about what he was going to do with this 'little thing' in his hands.
Then he slowly opened his mouth and said: "You have to take responsibility."
"W-what?" Helian Wei Wei thought that she had heard wrong as she even stumbled over the question.
The man's endless eyes stared at her, with the same posture as before and an expressionless face. It was more of a glare that wanted to rip her apart, rather than a normal stare.
Helian Wei Wei raised both of her hands, indicating a cease-fire, and devilishly curved her lips. "Okay, how do you want me to take responsibility? Don't tell me you want to me to marry you?"
Shadow who just came back to reality, s.u.c.k.e.d in a breath
!
This woman, what did she just say? Marry the lord?!
Quickly make this woman shut up, he really didn't want to see his lord's hands stained with blood on his first day in the academy!
"Marriage?" Baili Jia Jue teasingly gripped onto Helian Wei Wei's chin, his thumb casually floated over her lips as his chilling breath fanned onto her face. "Since we're getting married, shouldn't we check the article first, hm?"
The man's deep and raspy voice gently tickled her ear, making her body tremble.
"Go prepare a room." He was talking to Shadow now, who was standing by his side.
Shadow widened his eyes in bewilderment. During all the time he spent with the lord, he had never seen the lord taking the initiative. Usually, when the women come close to him, he wouldn't even spare them a glance.
Yet, today…
Shadow shook his head as he walked away with a turn of his body. He was probably just overthinking. The reason why the lord wanted a room is just to find a clean place to bury the corpse.
Yes, it's probably like that!
Otherwise, he couldn't understand which part of this woman did the lord fancy? The black skin that looks like ink ?
Helian Wei Wei had a dumbfounded face. She was slightly pissed. Why the hell did this guard react like this, did he think that she wasn't compatible with his lord ?
Even though she hadn't wiped her face clean, she still had a finely-cut face. If she was standing between two black people, she could still be said to be as fair as snow.
Wasn't he basically making assumptions?
Moreover, it's not him who's going to be XXOO by the lord.
So why was he making faces like he just saw a ghost?
Helian Wei Wei listened to the fading footsteps, burying her face to the side as her clever eyes turned and a flicker flashed by.
