The Anarchic Consort c1-1376

by Warring Young Seven

  Having been a ringleader for so many years, she of course knew that regardless of whether it was Su Jia Cheng or Helian Guang Yao, to have reached their position today was by no means an accident.

  If it weren't for their meticulous state of mind and ruthless methods, they also wouldn't have been able to divide up Helian family's power and influence as easily as splitting a melon. Mother's reputation also wouldn't have been slandered so horribly.

  Wanting to shake them would absolutely not be an easy thing to do.

  Moreover, compared to quickly killing them off with a sword, she'd prefer to slowly, slowly make them feel the pain of ruined families and calamity, the taste of falling into the lowest abyss.

  However, what did she just hear?

  "Consort selection?" Wei Wei creased her slender eyebrows, "What does that have to do with me?" She didn't think that as a good-for-nothing, she would have the qualifications for the consort selection. Hey, wasn't it resolved that she'd be a low-key beauty?

  Grandmaster guiltily looked up and studied the roof beam, "Master also didn't know how those people had your name. However, Master feels that since you are named, you should go take a look at that Third Prince. He doesn't look too bad."

  "Is there a way not to go?" Wei Wei didn't expose the old man, and only calmly put down the teacup. She still wanted to do more business and honestly couldn't find the time to attend some consort selection. In addition, she had just cancelled an engagement, so she'd already become second hand goods. Wouldn't the Royal clansmen complain of attracting dirt?

  He lightly coughed twice "No. But rest assured, disciple. That little stinker had never liked women. Moreover, his sights are set terribly high. Even if you go, you still won't get chosen."

  Wei Wei also thought that's true. Right now, she's only a bit whiter than a lump of coal. If she's like this and that Third Prince still chooses her, then she would have no choice but to bow down to that guy's artistic taste.

  Wait wait!

  Did he say that the little stinker had never liked women?

  Could it be that the Third Prince, whose name could shake the world, was actually gay?

  Hiccup. It seemed that she'd discovered an extremely serious secret.

  "In any case, it's but a matter of walking across the stage. There are so many superior candidates..."

  Grandmaster was still thinking of a way to soothe his disciple, when Wei Wei already smiled, "Master, you need not say anymore, I'll go." If worst came to worst, after she went, she could just sit there and sleep, or eat some cakes and pastries. In any case, it would just be as Master had said. So many superior girls had signed up, she would just be there to add to the number of participants...

  On the second day, a mild and gentle wind blows through the vast clear skies.

  Besides the westernmost Inferior Compound, all the other quarters looked unusually exciting.

  Even all the teachers went to meet with the principal and was too busy to supervise them.

  Everybody was wondering if something big had happened?

  Within the memorial temple the students at the desks from front to back gathered together to compare notes. Their faces were excited and itching to be involved.

  "Hey, did you guys hear? It seemed that the Third Prince is coming soon!"

  "Are you sure? It's not a trick, right? Isn't it true that Third Prince never leaves the Ghost Palace?"

  "This is news coming from the Superior Compound and absolutely can't be wrong!"

  "Even if the Third Prince is coming, so what, he's sure going to head for the Superior Compound. Bummer."

  Wei Wei didn't change at all, whether who came or did not came, she still leaned on the low desk and slept as before.

  Within such a large memorial temple, only she had a hand which half dropped, as if it was empty around her as she slept shallowly. The surrounding chaos increasingly magnified and contrasted with this image of comfort and elegance.

  "You guys look, she's sleeping again."

  Their chattering and comments changed the atmosphere.

  The young girls remarked in low voices, "She seemed to be sleeping from morning till night and doesn't do anything."

  "What can she still do. Don't forget, she actually doesn't have even a bit of qi."

  "Already doesn't have qi, and still so lazy..." Someone didn't approve and shook their head, "When the time comes, she'll definitely have no achievements."

  Allowing the sound of reproach to rise on all four sides like the tide, Wei Wei slept lethargically as before.

  However, Yuan Ming laughed, "Girl, did you hear? If you keep sleeping like this, be careful of failing come exam time!"

  "Noisy." Wei Wei closed her pair of eyes, her expression was emotionless as she instructed him, "Wait until it's lunch time then wake me again."

  Generally, when one slept, there'd be some grogginess. Wei Wei temporarily forgot to keep these words private. When they dropped into Baili Jia Jue's ears, he raised his eyebrows slightly...

  Chapter 51 - His Highness’ Thoughts

  Nangong Lie also subconsciously thought that Wei Wei's words were directed at Baili Jia Jue, and was stunned as he turned and glanced in his direction.

  He was drinking tea while reading an ancient scroll that even a martial arts master would have trouble studying. The dull colored tea, when it moistened his thin lips, floated and became a smooth and l.u.s.trous sheen. His concentration and conscientious expression caused people to be captivated.

  This kind of brilliant and elegant man born of the royal family unexpectedly, after hearing the other person's words, answered, "sure," as the corners of his lips lightly curved up.

  Nangong Lie was astonished, "Ah Jue, what the heck are you up to again?"

  His voice was very soft, in order to avoid other people hearing them.

  Baili Jia Jue didn't speak. Instead, he swirled the teacup in his hand and glanced over sideways. On his fair and handsome face hung a slightly suppressed smile, on which appeared a bit of something very abnormal.

  Nangong Lie looked and goosebumps appeared again all over his body. When that guy was little, Retired Emperor would ask him to pour boiling water into the tea. He always decided if he would to it based on his mood. When his mood was good, he would steep one or two pots of tea. When his mood was bad, he'd leave the Retired Emperor to drink unboiled water on his own. Being so delighted to be ordered around by a person like this, for sure must be the response of a hunter who's addicted, while the "prey" was still dreaming, completely unaware.

  Thinking up to this point, he rejoiced once again. Between the four big clans and the imperial family, he had chosen the imperial family. Otherwise, just the thought of being this guy's opponent, and he couldn't control his scalp from feeling numb.

  When he returned to his seat and sat down, Baili Jia Jue already stopped reading the old book. He leaned against the back of the chair, his arm on the armrest, his fingers tapping to a beat as if he's pondering over something important.

  After that, he suddenly tilted his body, moved next to Wei Wei's ear and laughed deeply, "For waking you up, am I going to get paid?"

  Wei Wei only felt a coolness beside her ear. Limp and numb and slightly tickled, she opened her eyes sluggishly, then discovered that because of Yuan Ming, she had again made a stupid mistake.

  "No money." Wei Wei yawned, "But there's free lunch, want to go now?"

  All along, the corners of Baili Jia Jue's mouth was curved upward. Within his faint smile moved an incomprehensible shadow, "Good, it just so happens I don't have money to eat lunch."

  "Cough, cough cough!" A mouthful of tea spurted from Nangong Lie's mouth. Your Highness, how could you say these words without your face turning red, or your heart jumping out!

  However, Baili Jia Jue actually didn't lie. He really didn't carry any money on his body. Of course, a single little ring on his finger alone was enough to buy a piece of land at the border and build a city.

  Everybody knew. Even t
hough the Third Prince lost his qi, he was still Retired Emperor's most beloved prince, the Dragon War Empire's imperial son.

  Generally, when people mentioned him, it would always be in the context of him being elevated on high, holy and pure, like a deity who had descended. Wait, wait, wait wait.

  The main point is, when was he ever short on money!

  Nangong Lie really couldn't listen any longer and simply turned his head around, pretending to be deaf and dumb.

  Baili Jia Jue only extended a hand and brushed his black gown and white clothes on which there wasn't even a speck of dust. He spoke in a voice as gentle and mellow as wine, seemingly able to cause others to be drunk from the smell, "Let's go."

  Wei Wei didn't think much of it as the tip of her tongue licked her thin lips. Right now, she's thinking of eating roast lamb with c.u.min on top, along with some added sauce, crispy outside, juicy meat inside, its melted fat spurting out, savory and tasty.

  White Academy's cafeteria was very clean. A chef was even appointed to give it special attention.

  Wei Wei would never short change herself in this regard. Her table was full of meat, and also the freshest watermelon, coupled with good Chinese wine.

  When it's being eaten, an incomparable happiness would burst forth.

  Since she's brought someone here to eat, Wei Wei wouldn't forget to also give Baili Jia Jue chopsticks and a spread of dishes.

  If it weren't for so many people watching, this meal would be even more perfect.

  Wei Wei bit on her chopsticks and discreetly observed the guy in front of her. This very young man was simply exceptionally cultured. His every single movement carried an intense masculine charm. Every single person in the cafeteria likely would soon be unable to resist his hormones.

  The young ladies from prestigious families who originally came to dine, all looked at her with a look of wishing they could eat her, while their faces were actually extremely flirtatious.

  Wei Wei also wondered. Could it be that every time this person came to eat, a crowd of girls would bat their eyelashes at him. Wouldn't he get indigestion?

  Wei Wei couldn't have known. A certain Highness had never come to the cafeteria before. Ever since he entered the academy, all of his needs had been taken care of by Shadow. Water was brought in from the mountain springs. The meals were made by the best chefs from the palace, kept warm by a special method, and delivered to White Academy every night.

  So the instant Baili Jia Jue entered the cafeteria, his dense brows had been knitted.

  Yet contrary to expectations, someone actually, at this moment, recklessly moved on ahead.

  "She really came. A bootl.i.c.k.i.n.g insect has accomplished so much, we have no choice but to admire her. Don't you guys think so?"

  The person talking was no other than Helian Mei. Standing by her side were several other young girls from influential families. Apart from her, the rest were all from the Superior Compound. Helian Jiao Er was also among them, her long skirt fluttering. As dainty as a drop of water, even when speaking, her voice was muted and appeared soft, "Third Sister, don't say anymore."

  "Why shouldn't I speak. Second Sister is just too kind, that's why you've been bullied by that evil girl!" No matter what, Helian Mei couldn't forget the matter of having to slap her own mouth. The look she gave Wei Wei was chock full of anger!

  Helian Jiao Er also didn't really want to hold back Helian Mei, because, since earlier, she also wanted to make a good show of Wei Wei.

  Not to mention that when she saw Wei Wei with Baili Jia Jue together, ill feelings bubbled up in her heart.

  What kind of *******luck did this s.l.u.t run into, to even make friends with this young lord like this?

  However...while his looks were out of the ordinary, he's still only a poor and pedantic student from the Inferior Compound. It's been said that he couldn't even afford to buy a student's hat.

  Unlike Lord Murong's high and noble birth, still young yet already so accomplished.

  When thinking of this, Helian Jiao Er's eyes rolled and she instantly acted as if she hesitated a little, before she said, "Third Sister, Oldest Sister's friends are still here. It wouldn't be good if they misunderstand." After having said that, she looked at Baili Jia Jue, the corners of her mouth carried a bashful and innocent smile, "Young Sir, we meet again."

  "Huh?" Baili Jia Jue lifted his eyes. The deep pupils carried fine veined patterns within, so deep that it could make people fall into them instantly.

  Helian Jiao Er's heartstrings trembled indescribably. At the Superior Compound previously, this young man had only stood there, yet she easily felt as if his body contained a magic spell. And now, hearing his voice close up, a clear and cold, penetrating deep and sonorous voice, yet cool and bright like a spring wind in March, gladdening the heart and refreshing the mind, with a special kind of comfortable feeling.

  Helian Jiao Er once again stabilized her heart, the smiling expression on the corners of her mouth intensified, "Last time, after having separated from Young Sir, I have yet to see Sir again. I wonder for what reason did you come to the Superior Compound to look for me that day?"

  Since she was able to make Lord Murong hate that s.l.u.t, if it was another man, she could still do it again like before!

  If it weren't for Wei Wei, this ugly girl, paying him compensation, she reckoned this young lord wouldn't even bother taking a glance at her, not to mention going to lunch together. It simply would be a fairy tale.

  Helian Jiao Er was confident in her beauty. After all, in this world, there hadn't been a man who could reject her...

  Chapter 52 - Dressed As A Pig, Eating A Tiger

  As she dropped her head, her pretty, lightly blushed face seemed like a lotus bud that was just about to blossom. Her pretty eyes were bright as they looked at Baili Jia Jue. Her eyelashes were as dark as ink.

  It's just that Helian Jiao Er didn't know that the person in front of her wasn't any other person, but was instead His Highness the imperial son who had never been interested in beautiful women before.

  Any attractive woman facing him basically would be totally ignored by him.

  Using Nangong Lie's words, "If a certain highness wanted to look at a beautiful face, he just needs to look at a mirror everyday. Anyone else really can't compare, be it male or female."

  However, strangely, this time Baili Jia Jue surprisingly looked at Helian Jiao Er's face and lingered for quite a while.

  Helian Wei Wei knitted her shapely eyebrows. She didn't think that this guy would be someone who looked at the face and not the heart. If he was just like other people, then this rice didn't need to continue to be eaten. In other words, their relationship didn't need to continue.

  The longer Baili Jia Jue looked at Helian Jiao Er, the more satisfied Helian Jiao Er's face appeared. A nice looking pink surfaced on her pair of cheeks while her heart pounded. She was going to open her mouth again.

  When she noticed Baili Jia Jue supporting his chin with his palm. He earnestly knitted his brow and spoke neither hastily nor slowly, "Who are you?"

  His tone sounded nice, mildly cool and indolent, and carried a distinctive gracefulness.

  Making everyone who heard it feel that it was a delight.

  However!

  Who are you?

  Who are you!

  Who are you ! ! ? ?

  Having heard these three words, Helian Jiao Er's little face 'swish' was instantly drained of all color as her pair of hands rigidly gripped and wrung her handkerchief. The bashful eyes which were gazing in Baili Jia Jue's direction now became dumbfounded. Finally unable to bear it, she wished that she could just turn and leave!

  Wei Wei was also stunned. She turned her head and looked at Baili Jia Jue's wickedly smiling face.

  This guy must still remember Helian Jiao Er. It's because he remembered her that he purposefully asked that way!

  If there weren't so many people around, Wei Wei would've really wanted to give him a thumbs up and some praise.
/>
  Such beguilement and shrewdness was not easily seen whether in ancient or modern times!

  Baili Jia Jue naturally noticed the way Wei Wei looked at him. He turned towards her and curved his lips as bewitching coldness radiated from him.

  For a minute, Wei Wei wondered if she had better distance herself a bit further from this guy.

  Afterall, he being too clever was dangerous.

  Baili Jia Jue was very high leveled. He only glanced at that 'little fox's appearance and already knew what she was thinking. He withdrew the smiling expression and filled his eyes instead with a completely clueless look, "What's going on?"

  "Nothing." Wei Wei felt she must be thinking too much. It was probably because during the first time she met this guy, the sense of a crises was too strong. That's why she was constantly on guard against him. After careful consideration, this guy still seemed to be not bad. She should not have ideas about people, "Eat a bit more. If you don't know her, then don't worry about it."

  "Alright." Baili Jia Jue replied indifferently. Within his lowered gaze was a bit of surprise. He didn't expect that he'd already pretended to this extent, yet this 'little thing' still had doubts about him.

  Abandon it?

  Heh, how's that possible.

  The more cunning the prey was, the more satisfaction one would feel when taming it.

  Baili Jia Jue curved his thin lips. On his face hung a shining smiling expression. He intended to be like a marshal who sat in a command tent to dictate and be in control of everything. Therefore, he had enough patience to wait.

  No one had so much difficulty enduring as Helian Jiao Er. She only felt that everyone in the cafeteria was staring at her, including her friends from the Superior Compound, those girls from influential families. Helian Jiao Er had grown up to this age, yet this was the first time she'd lost so much face!

  This made Helian Jiao Er so angry even her hands were shaking. She absolutely had no idea how to vent her anger!

  "Second Sister, what is there to say between you and this guy who can't even afford a student's hat." Helian Mei had stayed at the Defense Department for such a long time. Even if she was stupid, she still knew that she must talk to help rescue Heilian Jiao Er from her predicament at this time. She glanced at Wei Wei with disdain, "They're just traveling the same road to the grave."
