To have her face Wei Wei with this posture, this was simply more difficult to bear than having her killed.
She'd rather slap her own mouth than have other people see her like this, watching her bowing on bended knees, while Wei Wei possessed all of the glory.
Not only that.
This time, they even lost her younger sister's reputation as well as a lifeline at the academy that the Su family had been bribing for so many years.
If grandfather knew of this matter, he would go into a thunderous rage for sure.
And also Third Prince...how could Wei Wei have that man watching her bow to another person.
Helian Jiao Er wished she could kill her right now, but she knew that she couldn't do that. That's why she could only bite her own thin lips and allow those imperial guards to drag Jing Wu Wang away.
She must get back at that little s.l.u.t no matter what method she used!
She couldn't wait until the grand martial qi competition and also couldn't wait until after the consort selection. She wanted that little s.l.u.t to die now!
The light in Helian Jiao Er's eyes drifted, then burst with a malicious intent.
Yet Wei Wei didn't care in the slightest.
The White Fen family were spirit beasts which were most capable of understanding the human heart, to say nothing of the fact that Little White was even a prince. Naturally, he could sense all of the resentment that issued from Helian Jiao Er's body, so he clearly and coldly reminded Wei Wei. "If This Highness were you, I'd immediately have her killed. Why make her say some apology and kneel or whatever. It's just a waste of time!"
"You don't understand, what's most painful to humans is not death. Rather, it's to have them lose the things that they depend on most in life. For example, power, or face..."
She believed that just now, Helian Jiao Er's feelings must have been even more difficult to bear than death.
For the past so many years, Wei Wei had always lived like that, suffering all kinds of humiliation, living worse than death.
What she'd wanted had never been to settle it with one knife!
All of the things they possessed should've belonged to the Helian family.
Regardless of how these people took away all of these things from her, she would seize them back bit by bit in the same way!
Chapter 77 - His Highness In Disguise Again
Outside of White Academy, after Su Jia Cheng heard the news that Helian Jiao Er was disgraced, he and and Helian Guang Yao dashed over together.
"Grandfather, Daddy, I really can't stand that good-for-nothing anymore." Heilian Jiao Er had thoroughly lost her patience. Her eyes filled with maliciousness fixed at a corner of her handkerchief. "I want her name removed from the Helian Clan's family register."
After he heard his granddaughter's words, Su Jia Cheng answered, "Originally, I thought that this good-for-nothing wouldn't be able to withstand anything that happens. I didn't expect that she'd destroy the relationsh.i.p.s that I've established for so many years! Since she's like this, unable to tell what's good from bad, then let's make sure she taste some suffering. Guang Yao, you go take care of this matter. Those family members with ambitions remaining in the Helian family, I reckon that they already don't want to allow a good-for-nothing to stay within the clan and hinder their ambitions."
Helian Guang Yao nodded his head. However, as devious as he was, he already discovered something suspicious, "That evil spawn and Third Prince both can't use qi. How in the world did they run from such a dangerous area within Spirit Forest and escape out here? Could it be possible that the evil spawn has hidden something from me?"
"What could she possibly have!" Helian Mei covered her head that was bumped and cut, and disdainfully screamed, "She was just lucky and saved the White Fen Clan's Prince, so he lead them out of the forest. Otherwise, based on her three legged cat kung fu*, she would've died inside Spirit Forest early on!"
(*Translator's note: Three legged cat kung fu meant that her martial arts skills are terrible.)
"Mei Er, pay attention to your tone of voice and your status for me!" Helian Guang Yao was already angry with her previously. Today, precisely because of this daughter of his, he completely lost all face. Everyone in the capitol now knew that he, Helian Guang Yao, raised a rude and vulgar juvenile. You haven't improved at all after so many years. Also today at the academy, it's enough that you humiliated yourself, yet you even dragged your Second Sister out. If that brain of yours doesn't get any brighter, this father of yours is going to write a letter to have you quit school and get married!"
At the moment, Helian Mei felt wronged for being scolded, yet dared not retort at all. Everybody within the capital knew that a girl who withdrew from the academy simply wouldn't be wanted by anyone, unless she married those men old enough to be granddads. As arrogant as she was, how could she accept that!
Just thinking about that possibility was enough for her to feel nauseated.
Habitually in the past, by this time, Helian Jiao Er would've already helped her smooth things out. But now, Helian Jiao Er only sat by the side, expression unchanged as she drank her tea. In her eyes, she was already fed up with Helian Mei's stupidity.
Helian Mei wasn't aware of it yet, and was only focused on wanting to soothe Helian Guang Yao's temper.
Nobody was aware of the objective that Wei Wei most wanted to achieve in doing what she did today. However, she already successfully accomplished the first step.
If one wanted to destroy an organization, it's necessary to first sow discord from the inside.
Wei Wei didn't need to see this scene within the horse carriage to know that, without exception, we shouldn't keep by her side someone with an 'unsafe' disposition who knew all about her weaknesses.
Previously, when Helian Mei and Helian Jiao Er lived at the Defense Division together, they weren't noticeable. However, they've now both arrived at White Academy.
All of their conflicts will be clearly exposed little by little. One was at the Superior Compound and was lavished with adoration endlessly.
Even though the other one wasn't treated badly, however, the treatment she received was far from being as good as the former.
Helian Mei wasn't some goody two shoes. It'd be strange if she wasn't jealous of Helian Jiao Er.
And Helian Jiao Er wasn't aware of the danger, yet. Wait until she came into contact with the real world, she'd find out at once that having this kind of sister knowing all of her secrets sometimes wasn't a good thing at all.
"When that time comes, I won't need to make a move, they'll be dog-eat-dog soon enough." Wei Wei whistled leisurely and carefreely. Her mood was absolutely wonderful as she returned to her own living quarters at the Inferior Compound.
Too many things had happened in the last couple of days. It wasn't easy to have arrived at her own place at last, so Wei Wei relaxed right away, simply tossing her shoes and outer garment, and just like that, lazily rested her upper body face down on top of the desk, taking out the Dragon Pill that she previously earned from Baili Jia Jue and swallowing it. She wanted to try to wake Yuan Ming, but discovered signs of a kind of excitement emerging within his entire mental state.
That's how Wei Wei realized that Yuan Ming's deep sleep might not be a bad thing.
Let's allow him to sleep then.
Who knows, maybe when he woke up there might be some kind of happy surprise.
Wei Wei exerted force from her palms. All of the essence within the Dragon Pill was absorbed into her body instantly. The air around her immediately swirled up. In addition, the ancient scroll on the desktop also rotated continuously and made sounds for a period of time.
The white cat that was crouching by the side basking in the sunlight sat up. Within its eyes flashed a light of surprise.
From the beginning, it knew that she wasn't simple, but it didn't think that she would be a cultivator who could manipulate nature.
As a matter of fact, within not just merely the Dragon War Empire, even
counting the sea territories, a second cultivator who could manipulate nature would not be found.
This kind of cultivator was either a good-for-nothing who was unable to do anything, or they'd be an earth shaking genius who was in control of all qi!
Very obviously, its master belonged to the latter category!
Because he's keeping her secret, he simply couldn't tell them the real reason, and only said it's to repay a debt of gratitude. After a while, he'd return to the clan.
And the people here at White Academy still didn't even know that she already had her own spirit beast!
In addition, he'd just heard people at the Superior Compound say, "At the martial qi competition not far from now, that person from the Helian family will lose especially miserably for sure. Don't even think about it being possible to be chosen as a consort. Third Prince generally liked clean and pure women, yet she even went through a divorce before. She basically had no chance already. In addition, Retired Emperor certainly won't let a good-for-nothing marry into the imperial family."
Heh..
He wondered what kind of thoughts those girls talking behind her back would have after they saw this scene.
The white cat's gaze narrowed, its expression profound.
What's more, after having entered into the contract, it also already sensed that besides her original qi, there was a portion of an extremely dense ancient qi also inside her body.
If it didn't guess wrongly, that must be her contracted demon!
When all was said and done, who could possibly possess a contracted demon from ancient times?
This was obviously the first time it had seen this young man, yet it generally felt that there was an indescribable feeling of familiarity.
What's going on here?
The white cat twitched its whiskers and subconsciously became alert.
"Little White, be good. He is my little brother." Wei Wei stroked the white cat's head, and indolently propped up her chin, turned towards Baili Jia Jue and raised her brow. "Why are you here? There's no money to give today."
This was the first time that Baili Jia Jue, with his mask removed, felt that White Academy's uniform of white clothes and black robe wasn't bad. It concealed all of the smells and aura on his body. What's more, the image he presented in front of the world, could be controlled as he wished.
So, for example, Baili Jia Jue now increased a trace of demonic aura without misgivings, straightforwardly placed a hand on the desktop, and little by little, pressed down towards her...
Chapter 78 - Questions on positions
He pronounced each syllable slowly, every single word meant to charm. "I didn't come to get paid. I came worried about my financial backer's safely. I heard that you were taken to be a criminal by the cat clan and almost got arrested."
Look and see how good Third Prince's acting was.
Wei Wei yawned, didn't move back, and instead moved forward to pat his head, "Don't worry, your big sister, I, am not so easy to bully. All of them were forced to return by me."
"Really?" Baili Jia Jue looked at her motions meaningly, and after that, indifferently asked, "I also heard that you stayed with Third Prince alone for a day at Spirit Forest?"
Wei Wei 'mm'd a sound and suddenly seemed as if she thought of something, grabbed his sleeve, said, "If you didn't say it, I would've forgotten. Would you believe, he unexpectedly is the one on the bottom!"
"What?" Baili Jia Jue's gaze paused.
Wei Wei explained in response, "Homos.e.x.u.a.ls, uhm, aren't they classified as 'top' and 'bottom'? I really didn't expect, Third Prince appears to have such an imposing manner, yet surprisingly is willing to be positioned under someone!"
"Positioned under someone?" Good, very good! Baili Jia Jue's bewitching thin lips emitted an unprecedented chill. In the future, he'd make sure she knew whether he really was at the top or at the bottom!
"You're amazed, right? When I first guessed this, I was also very surprised." Wei Wei didn't notice his expression at present, too busy going through her things to take out the washed handkerchief from before, folded it carefully into a square and put it inside a yellow little box.
Shadow, who was concealed outside, heard what she said and went weak at the knees while cold sweat burst forth and turned to vapors. He wanted to make some movement and signal Wei Wei to stop what she was saying.
However, Baili Jia Jue merely raised his head, turned towards the window and glanced outside.
Shadow's four limbs then stiffened at once, and withdrew to his original spot.
Baili Jia Jue retracted his gaze to fall on Wei Wei's hand. His thin lips curved up somewhat, "You seem to treat the handkerchief as a treasure."
"Of course it's a treasure!" Wei Wei pretended to be serious as she said, "This is actually a handkerchief that Third Prince has used before."
"Oh?" Baili Jia Jue dropped his eyes as a light flashed in them, seeing how much she cared about his handkerchief, in that case, he'll let her off…..
As Wei Wei was pressing on the lid, she was muttering, "I heard people say that a handkerchief he's used before is very valuable. After packaging it well, will resell to other young ladies. Should be able to fetch a good price at that time..."
"You wanted to take and sell it?" The tips of Baili Jia Jue's fingers paused and calmly interrupted her words.
Wei Wei also didn't know if there's a problem with her sense of hearing. She actually felt that face over there expressing a thread of annoyance, "Well yes, what's up?"
Baili Jia Jue's gaze lightly chilled, his ice cold breath blew over, not the slightest bit of feeling could be heard within the tone of his voice, "Nothing."
It would seem that this pet still had not learned to be obedient.
It's time for him to rip out her claws!
Ah...
Ever since master met this Helian family's oldest daughter, he tended to smile more and more. This truly may not be anything good!
Because for a person like His Highness, smiling was more horrifying, indicating even more that his mood was not very good.
"So I look a lot like the one on the bottom?"
When there were only two people, Baili Jia Jue and Shadow, he slightly raised his dense eyebrows and asked the servant following behind him.
Shadow's scalp numbed, immediately shook his head, and spoke in a low voice, "Your Highness, even if you were willing to lie down, no one would dare to keep you under them, for sure."
"Really?" Baili Jia Jue slowly twisted his ring, exquisite thin lips unhurriedly curved up, "However, since she likes this position, then at that time, if I don't satisfy her, wouldn't it be too unkind, heh."
Shadow's back stiffened.
What did he mean by since she liked this position? !
Your Highness, the position that you're talking about shouldn't be that position that subordinate's thinking about, right? ! ! !
Baili Jia Jue reclined under the ancient tung tree and didn't say anything more. Instead, his fingertips turned, took hold of, and wore the silver mask again. It's just perfect for covering up that by no means gaudy handsome appearance. Only those deep eyes and one pair of elegantly contoured thin lip was exposed.
Thinking that before long, he'd be able to strip the little fox's claws, have her sit on his body, letting him do whatever he pleased, those deep eyes submerged even deeper. The slender and long fingertips brushed across his thin lips, while young man's smile exuded even more devilish charm. He'd do what he said he would and let her know just how he'd be 'positioned under someone'...
A light wind brushed by. In the blink of an eye, under the dense, ancient tung tree, there no longer was that black robe and moonlight like white clothes.
At the west side of the academy.
Wei Wei received news telling her to make a trip down the mountain. The clan elders had some important matter to announce.
Wei Wei didn't know why these people, who she hadn't seen for ten years, thought of her and suddenly came today.
Once she visited the clan hall later, she'd find out whether they came on behalf of Helian Jiao Er to 'take revenge'.
Ah, she wanted to see. What in the world did they think they could do to her?
Wei Wei's pair of hands crossed in front of her c.h.e.s.t, and coldly laughed. Those mocking eyes made Helian Guang Yao, who was sitting at the center seat, feel the pit of his stomach indescribably shudder.
When his senses returned, he fiercely slapped the tabletop. His face expressing an unprecedented rage, "Should this be your attitude? Doing whatever you want? No respect for elders?" Helian Guang Yao's eyes were gloomy, his tone of voice was full of loathing. If I'd known earlier that you're the root of trouble like this. That year, regardless of feelings or face, I would've immediately thrown you out! And now, each and every elder within the clan had observed everything that you've done at White Academy during this time. Wei Wei, bear in mind, it's not that father doesn't want to protect you, it's that you, yourself, are too spoiled. I'm already getting old and don't want to see your gentle and meek younger sister destroyed at your hands like this!" After speaking, Helian Guang Yao looked to the four elders sitting at one side, "Various elders, in all likelihood, before all of you came, you already heard about how this matter developed. Because of a misunderstanding, this evil spawn made her two younger sisters kneel and apologize to her. So vicious, every time I think about it, sigh, I feel that I have no face left!"
After hearing what was said, those four elders, one after another, put down the ceramic cup in their hands. Among them, one laughed mockingly. "I said before to have this trash driven out of the clan to save our Helian family's face. Now, great! She dared to bully even Miss Jiao Er."
"Miss Jiao Er's actually someone who's participating in the martial qi competition soon and also is a talent personally selected by Retired Emperor. This trash forced her to bear such a big grievance. This is only adding disgrace to our Helian family!" Another elder followed by commanding, "Someone come take this trash and beat her one hundred times with the board, then throw her out of the mansion. This kind of person mustn't be allowed to stay."
