"Seventh Prince's right." Minister Jing interrupted and came closer, his face wearing a concerned appearance and spoke words which misrepresented Little Bald Head's meaning.
"Your Highness should've found an expert to accompany you. Only that will guarantee your safety. If something had happened to you, I'll probably die of worry. Fortunately, both of you safely came back."
After saying that, he turned towards Wei Wei and looked over. "Was it this black flying horse that brought you back? It seems as if it hasn't been contracted. Why was it willing to carry the two of you?"
Minister Jing also could be considered a senior who had stayed at White Academy for many years, and knew very well that these spirit beasts that lived in Spirit Forest, were actually much more arrogant than those demonic beasts. As long as someone wasn't contracted with them, no matter how powerful any other person with powerful qi was, they still wouldn't allow them to ride on them.
Wei Wei shrugged her shoulders and turned around to face Baili Jia Jue with a look that said 'you're so smart, let's turn this over for you to deal with'.
Baili Jia Jue received her message and watched Minister Jing standing below the horse from up high. His pair of deep and clear eyes gleamed and sparkled, mingled within was an indifferent and disaffected cold attitude which seemed like it could emanate an astonishing martial qi at any time.
Being watched by him like this, Minister Jing's heart actually trembled. As he looked at Baili Jia Jue again, he saw that his thin lips were as pale as before. The mysterious dark pupils, although hidden in depth, no matter how one looked, still had the appearance of having received a heavy injury...
Minister Jing frowned as he shook his head. Just now, he was just mistaken. He absolutely was mistaken.
Even though everyone had wanted to be under the Third Prince's command, however, that had already changed. It was a fact that the third prince's body was already disabled.
It must be because Third Prince had occupied a high position for too long a time. Just like yesterday, when he first saw him, he also felt as if chills travelled down his back.
Just as Minister Jing was thinking this in his heart, he suddenly heard Baili Jie Jue's voice come out of a slightly opened mouth. Contained within that voice was even a trace of a devilishly cold smiling expression. "Since Minister Jing would like to be involved in my affairs so much, then this Highness can say a few words to Retired Emperor on your behalf to have you enter the palace and replace Eunuch Sun's position in the future."
In other words, this is the same as cutting out that thing of yours and turn you into an eunuch.
Having heard this, innumerable drops of cold sweat then emerged from Minister Jing's forehead all at once.
Wei Wei watched that paling face of his and couldn't help but turn again towards Baili Jia Jue for another glance. She couldn't help but think that Third Prince truly deals extremely large damage. His four pounds of force able to push aside a ton, hitting exactly where it hurts, one sentence suffocating enough that Minister Jing was forced to be anxious and frightened. To speak of sending him into the palace to replace Eunuch Sun's position and so on simply was outwardly kind but inwardly evil to the extreme.
No wonder even if he'd lost his martial qi, no one dared to treat him with disrespect.
Because from beginning to end, this man's body always contained a sense of danger that could make everyone not dare to treat it lightly.
If he was like he was in the past and still possessed that startling martial qi envied by the world, the War Dragon Empire's current power structure would absolutely not be the way it is.
Truly, Third Prince was also indeed acute enough to know that she didn't want people to know the things that happened to her in Spirit Forest, and went as far as to not say a single word of it.
"It seems that Master Jing already doesn't have any other question. Then I'll leave first." Wei Wei indifferently took a quick glance at Minister Jing whose face had turned green, and was just about to leave, but the way out was obstructed by a regiment of imperial guards that appeared from who knew where!
Chapter 73 - Pow Pow Face Slap
Misty Cloud Translations: Sorry for some odd reason I got confused. Please note that previous chapters of Minister Jing is changed to Jing Wu Wang. Sorry for the confusion.
[What's going on here?]
Helian Wei Wei's long shapely eyebrows had yet to crease.
And Helian Jiao Er already walked over elegantly as her hand pressed on her entirely grieving face. "Older Sister, this time you've truly charged into big trouble!"
"Charged into trouble? What trouble have I charged into?" Wei Wei smiled. She really wanted to see what kind of devilry Helian Jiao Er had cooked up again.
"The moment you entered Spirit Forest's restricted area, there came news that the prince of the cat clan was being chased to kill. Oldest Sister, there couldn't be such a coincidence in the world. Don't tell me that you still want to deny this?" Helian Jiao Er's beautiful eyes fixed on her. Her face was filled with an expression of disappointment at Wei Wei for failing to meet her expectations.
Wei Wei rubbed her chin and willfully curled her thin lips. "You mean to say that the one who chased to kill the cat prince was me?"
"If it isn't you, who can it be!" Helian Mei also walked over and used a gaze for looking at someone guilty of terrible crimes to tenaciously glare at her. "We've set up the troops at the main roads, but you, only your whereabouts were unknown! Oldest Sister, I previously only felt that you were shameless yet didn't expect that surprisingly, your heart is so malicious!"
Wei Wei was just about to open her mouth.
"Helian Wei Wei, things already reached this stage and you still want to quibble! If it's really as they've said, no matter who your master is, you still wouldn't be lucky enough to survive. People from the White Fen Clan are already knocking on the door. Even if I wanted to protect you, it'd still be of no use." Jing Wu Wang flung his long sleeves, with anger slowly growing, he interrupted her. "You should now know what crime you've committed! It's a capital offense!"
Having heard what was said, Wei Wei pondered as she glanced at Jing Wu Wang.
So this was what it was. As it turned out it's because there's some trouble that this man, as the acting academy principal, was unable to resolve, so he pushed her to become a scapegoat.
He obviously knew that once she entered Spirit Forest, she wouldn't be coming back out.
Because the ones who'd planned all of this was him and Helian Jiao Er.
In the beginning, she only associated this with Helian Jiao Er, but upon careful analysis, even if Helian Jiao Er was outstanding, she still was merely a new student.
The one who could switch out the map to the Spirit Forest when no one even felt or had any idea something happened could only be someone of great importance in the academy.
Otherwise, the teachers wouldn't have failed to sense anything wrong with the map even till the end.
And who this person was, besides Jing Wu Wang, there could be no other.
Right now, he was teaming up again with Helian Jiao Er. One pretending to be pink faced (ashamed good guy), the other pretending to be white faced (stern bad guy), just for the sake of making her be at a loss for words and bend her head to accept the crime.
Heh.
The cat clan's prince, right?
How coincidental.
She'd just contracted one.
Wei Wei smiled very astutely.
Seeing her like this, Helian Jiao Er was afraid something was off, as tears dripped from her eyes. "Oldest Sister, ever since we've entered the academy, I've racked my brains for ways to have people change their perception of you, but this time, your Younger Sister honestly am powerless. No matter what, I didn't expect that you are this kind of person."
After having heard Helian Jiao Er's words, only a 'swish' was heard and those imperial guards erected the pikes held in their hands.
Facing this kind of menacing situation, Wei
Wei not only wasn't fl.u.s.tered, she instead slowly curved the corners of her mouth. "Younger Sisters, from the beginning until now, you guys have continuously said that I'm the murderer who chased to kill the cat prince, without giving me even a chance to explain at all. If the person who chased to kill the cat prince wasn't me, then how do you plan to apologize this time? Are you guys going to give yourselves a few slaps again?"
"You!" Helian Mei had the most fiery temper. Hearing Wei Wei mention the previous humiliation, she wished she could have the cat clan's imperial guards take this s.l.u.t's body and dismember it into ten thousand pieces!
Helian Jiao Er was clearly much higher levelled, as her eyes swelled with tears from feeling wronged and approached the matter from a righteous angle. "Master, disciple knows that it's because I've misunderstood Oldest Sister in the past, that's why Oldest Sister is so confident that she'll be in the right again. This time, disciple won't continue to speak anymore, only, people from the White Fen clan are still standing here. Regarding what's right and what's wrong, I believe that they will make a determination in their heart!"
Having heard to this point, Jing Wu Wang seemed to have given up all hope on Wei Wei, as he heavily closed his eyes and tiredly brandished his hand in a big wave. "Helian Wei Wei, this teacher also can no longer manage such a sinful disciple as you, if you still have a conscience, then quickly accompany the imperial guards to go down the mountain and avoid bringing trouble to your fellow student sisters and brothers."
"Master Jing is right, one person created the problem, so one person should take responsibility. Helian Wei Wei, if you are still a person from the Helian family, then don't bring shame upon the Helian bloodline!"
"That's right! Just because you were undisciplined, don't implicate others!"
The voices of condemnation rose like the tide and engulfed from all directions, almost swallowing up Wei Wei's entire body.
Yet Wei Wei only tilted her head and straightened her own collar while smiling devilishly. "Master Jing, everyone knows that I am a good-for-nothing, a good-for-nothing without even a shred of martial qi. How would I be able to chase after a prince from the cat clan? As a martial qi master, you can't not know this reasoning! You're someone who's taking the principal's place, yet is unable to distinguish between black and white and just rushed to pour a bowl of dirty water on me without even carrying out a basic investigation. You then already want to punish me for the crime!"
Having said this, she turned to look behind her at the people from the two Zhang and Li families. "In those days when grandfather's cavalry defeated enemies at the border, blood dyed the rivers and mountains in exchange for your current glory, and what of you guys? Every single one of you is eager for my death."
"Helian Wei Wei!" Having his thoughts exposed, Jing Wu Wang was shamed into anger and roared loudly. "I ordinarily haven't been unkind to you, yet you entrap me like this. This behavior is simply too disgraceful!"
Wei Wei thought about this as her eyebrows jumped. "Entrap? Master Jing, from the very beginning you haven't taken out any evidence to prove that the person chasing to kill the cat clan's prince is me. If we're talking about entrapment, then we should say that teacher, you are entrapping me."
"Master, you need not be long-winded with her. This rebel is fundamentally unable to feel your kindness!" Helian Mei leapt over. "She's always been self-indulgent and spoiled and is basically unable to differentiate good from bad. If we're to talk of evidence, doesn't she also have no evidence to prove her own position? What's more, during that time, all of us already left Spirit Forest. Only she acted without following the guidelines on the map. She's clearly done something shameful!"
Having heard this, Wei Wei's lips curled. "Younger Sister, who told you that I have no evidence to prove my innocence."
What? !
Helian Mei was stunned.
When Helian Jiao Er heard these words, her complacent smile also stiffened at the ends of her mouth!
Impossible. It's impossible that she would have some kind of evidence to prove her own innocence!
They'd dared to push the crime on her precisely because everything had already been arranged within the academy. Even if the teachers discovered anything, they would be silenced and absolutely wouldn't be able to bear witness on this s.l.u.t's behalf!
Then where in the world did the evidence that she talked about come from!
"Little White, come out." Wei Wei's voice was very emotionless, yet emitted a chill that made people cold. "Come and tell them what the real facts are."
Chapter 74 - Counterattack
Who was she talking to?
Everyone didn't understand as they looked at each other.
Seeing Wei Wei this calm and composed, uneasiness suddenly bubbled forth from the depths of Helian Jiao Er's heart.
However, before she opened her mouth again, from Wei Wei's shoulder, there rose a cloud of mist, slowly transforming into a white cat.
When they saw that white cat, the students from the academy still didn't understand, but those imperial bodyguards from the White Fen Clan standing by the side one by one opened their eyes wide as disbelief filled all of their faces!
They simultaneously shouted. "Your Highness? !"
What? This little cat surprisingly was the White Fen clan's Prince?
How's that possible? !
How was it so little? Apparently, it seemed as if it didn't even have the ability to transform into a human figure. How could it be the White Fen Clan's Prince!
After Helian Mei heard the voices addressing it, she clearly somewhat couldn't believe it. "Imperial bodyguards, you can't be mistaken, right?"
"Certainly not!" Those imperial bodyguards excitedly turned towards Helian Wei Wei and walked over.
Helian Jiao Er wanted to block them, but discovered that there's already not enough time.
Because those imperial bodyguards already stood in front of Wei Wei. They looked at that white cat in fear and trepidation. "Your Highness, how did you turn into this appearance?" Even his true body was exposed!
The white cat scanned the group of people all around him, its voice purely cold. "Who told you to dispatch the troops, and again, who told you that she was chasing to kill me! If it wasn't for Wei Wei, this Prince would've lost his life to a demonic beast. You guys even allowed people to exploit you, to come and arrest our White Fen Clan's benefactor. You guys are simply too foolish."
The imperial guards were rebuked until their faces and heads hung dejectedly, not even daring to refute. Once the white cat's voice came out of its mouth, it also thoroughly purged any suspicions on Wei Wei. Not only was she blameless in chasing him to kill, she even protected the White Fen clan's imperial descendant.
This fact was the same as a slap from the palm 'slap slap slap' to everyone's face!
During that instant, Helian Jiao Er's pale face became extremely confused. No matter what, it was hard for her to imagine that because of their actions behind the scenes, Wei Wei saved the White Fen Clan's Prince's life.
Jing Wu Wang's expression was even more fl.u.s.tered. He didn't know how to confront those questioning gazes thrown at him.
"Since Master Jing wants to punish me for the crime, then go ahead and punish me." Wei Wei smiled indifferently as she stood with her spine very straight. Even though she wore dirty clothes made of coarse cloth and that little face was so dark that it was ash black in color, she nevertheless gave everyone a kind of indescribable feeling of oppression. "I, Helian Wei Wei, according to everyone's wish, will go on to accompany the Helian family's tens of thousands of souls departed in battle!"
After hearing this, there was an uproar at the scene.
They never thought that Wei Wei would speak in such a resolute way.
So that even though Jing Wu Wang wanted to compromise, he couldn't find any pretext for it.
What she was doing was to have him mete out her punishment. She was clearly doing this to force his hand!
Right now, he was t
he academy's acting principal. If he made any mistakes, he would lose his position.
Giving him the opportunity to climb upwards.
Right now, such a noisy matter was already enough to give people from the Imperial Family justification to recall Tusu Feng.
If Wei Wei continued down this path of no mercy, it's very possible that he'd be pushed to fall into the crime of committing an injustice against a student. When that time comes, not to mention his position as acting principal, even his title as the head of the Superior Compound would probably be lost as well!
When Murong Chang Feng rushed over and saw precisely this scene, his gaze turned to the female standing in the middle of the crowd, and felt that the unbending lonesome view of her back was somewhat dazzling.
His previously apathetic heart seemed to suddenly skip a beat at that moment.
However, this didn't affect his judgment of the current political situation at all.
Jing Wu Wang was the Murong Prince's Mansion and the Su family's cooperative chess piece, planted within White Academy since ten plus years ago.
With great difficulty, he now finally was put to use. At this crucial point in time, how could Jing Wu Wang, because of such a trivial matter, be arrested and possibly be used against them!
However, Jing Wu Wang truly indeed had nothing to say. Currently, he'd already been caught in a quandary. No matter how he replied, it'd be wrong. This was just like holding onto a hot potato.
The atmosphere instantly fell into an impasse.
All of the students were apparently waiting for the outcome.
"Wei Wei, right now, the truth of the matter has already been revealed. Third Prince is also here and naturally has formed a judgment in his mind. Master Jing certainly doesn't have the qualifications to make this decision."
The gorgeous and steady tone of voice interrupted the brief silence.
Wei Wei glanced back and only saw Murong Chang Feng standing behind her with an indifferent expression as his gaze fell on Helian Jiao Er and Jing Wu Wang. After that, he looked away without exposing any trace of partiality. A short sentence was enough to expel all of the pressure that Jing Wu Wang had been subjected to.
