Chapter 79 - Older Sister Doesn’t Appreciate It
After speaking, that elder stood up. But at this time, Yuan Ming, who was concealed within Wei Wei's body, suddenly opened his eyes.
Suddenly, with a plop, that elder actually inexplicably kneeled on the ground!
Helian Wei Wei naturally was aware that Yuan Ming had finally regained consciousness. The corners of her mouth slightly curved up, looked at that stunned elder and said, "Nie Wu Lin, you're an elder promoted by my Maternal Grandfather. If it weren't for Grandfather, you'd merely be a poor old man with no power and no influence. Now you talk to me of disgrace. Do you have the qualifications, hmm?" After saying this, she scanned each of those elders bit by bit while they were huffing from their fury. "And also, you guys. Which one of you haven't received Grandfather's favors? Yet now you join hands with outsiders. Because of those insignificant benefits of yours, you want to throw me out. You're indeed acting out a great play!"
The elders used their hands to press on their c.h.e.s.t, so angry that even their fingers were shaking. Wei Wei's words practically tore open the filthiest disgrace within their hearts.
They truly did receive the Defense Division's favors.
Indeed these favors made them feel suffocated in their hearts. Everything they wanted to do depended on that Helian old man's intentions. They'd simply already had enough.
That's why after that Helian old man passed away, they very quickly stood on the new clan chief's side.
Even though Helian Guang Yao managed the Helian clan on behalf of Wei Wei, because she's not an a.d.u.l.t yet, still, they'd rather that the clan chief continue to be Helian Guang Yao.
If it's this way, not only could they be as tyrannical as they want, they also totally didn't have to care about anyone else's intentions.
When they were bored, they could even use Wei Wei as a joke for them to make fun of.
She could only blame herself for being a good-for-nothing, humph. The feeling of taking that Helian old man's precious daughter and stepping her under foot was...very comfortable!
"Heh heh." Wei Wei had already seen quite a few people before. How could she not know how these people thought. She curved her lips and indifferently smiled, then taunted blatantly, "Sometimes we really shouldn't promote someone. Who knows, maybe there'll be a day when the gratefulness becomes hatred. Respected Father, don't you think so?"
"That's enough!" Having heard Wei Wei bringing it up, the intense feeling of humiliation made Helian Guang Yao practically wished that he could squeeze her to death!
That elder kneeling on the ground was even more furious, finally at the breaking point, "Some people really are too much, doing someone a little favor, yet talking about it everyday! Going so far as to slander our integrity! Head, you must act on our behalf!"
"Wei Wei!" Having heard that elder's words, Helian Guang Yao inhaled a deep breath, "If you admit your wrongs now, there's still time. If not, then don't blame this father for not holding back!"
He thought these words would scare Wei Wei into exercising some restraint. However, it didn't do anything. The other person merely smiled mockingly as she looked at him, that kind of smiling expression made him indescribably agitated at heart.
"Fine, insist being stubborn! Helian Guang Yao smiled from extreme anger, "Since it's like this, from today onwards, you can just get lost! The Helian clan doesn't want spoiled trash like you!"
Having heard what was said, Wei Wei slowly, slowly laughed, "So this is your aim, right? In order to get revenge for that dear daughter of yours, you actually allied with all of the elders to banish me from home. However, don't forget the Helian clan's rules. As long as a descendant possesses Helian blood, even if they are expelled out of the clan, they can go through the test and come back anew, and can even wield power over the entire clan! Helian Guang Yao, you seized my inheritance. I'll temporarily retreat for the sake of something secret. Heh! But I'll tell you one thing, there'll inevitably be a day when I'll return to squash your left arm, and cut off your right arm!"
Almost without hearing the sound of air being drawn out all around her, Wei Wei didn't even bother taking a look at that ashen face of Helian Guang Yao's, and flung the badge that represented the Helian clan on the ground. She confidently turned around and willfully smiled wickedly, completely ignoring those stunned elders.
Bang! Helian Guang Yao sent the chair before him flying with a kick. He seemed to not feel the pain in his hand as his eyes fixedly stared at Wei Wei's back and clenched his jaw tightly. A good-for-nothing who still had thoughts of controlling the whole clan was simply an imbecile with a pipe dream!
"Elder Nie," Helian Guang Yao coldly humphed, reached out and helped the elder up, "What happened just now?"
Elder Nie didn't care and waved his hand, "Don't know what kind of despicable method that girl used. Unexpectedly, my legs weakened!"
"It can't be that she's cultivated qi, right?" After hearing Wei Wei's speech, some people felt a bit unsettled.
Elder Nie sneered, "Her? Cultivate qi? That kind of good-for-nothing like her? You guys have already seen it. Not even a tiny movement of a qi element is present in her body. What qi can she still cultivate? Besides, Miss Jiao Er is here. Even if that trash has qi, what can she do anyway. Even if she cultivated for a few hundred more years, she still can't surpass Miss Jiao Er."
Mentioning Helian Jiao Er, Helian Guang Yao confidently smiled, "I saw Jiao Er two days ago. What's worth celebrating is that she's advanced again."
Yet, yet advanced again?" The elders' eyes opened wide and stared in disbelief, "It hasn't even been a year's time. Miss Jiao Er unexpectedly advanced again! Deserves to be called a genius among geniuses!
Hearing this speech, the elders were even more convinced that they stood on the right side. Compared with that trash, Miss Jiao Er's future prospects were numerous. What's more, they already received news, Miss Jiao Er was very possibly the phoenix!* (* a queen is also referred to as the phoenix.)
As long as they can firmly grasp this 'ship', their careers will surely take off in the future. As for that good-for-nothing, most likely in the first round of competition, she'd already be forced down, already collapsing after the first blow. She simply was just a joke.
However, they didn't know at all yet that in this world, there was a kind of cultivator who, even though they didn't have any bit of qi element, they could still control all the wind, water, and rain in the world.
This kind of cultivator was hard to come by even in a hundred years, and was even more powerful than a metal cultivator.
And Wei Wei was precisely, exactly this kind of cultivator!
Not only that, a demon was also concealed in her body. The invincible terror during those years in the past, Yuan Ming!
"Sooner or later, one day, they'll regret it." Yuan Ming finally returned, actually even more overbearing than before. In particular, the skill just now was really beautiful.
The white cat perked up its ears and looked at the figure concealed behind Wei Wei and got excited, that's him!
"Oh, I forgot to introduce you guys. Little White, this is Yuan Ming. Yuan Ming, this is Little White." Wei Wei was completely nonchalant as she stretched her body, didn't look one bit like she's been driven away from the family clan.
The corners of the white cat's mouth furiously twitched. He's already said so many times, he's called White River!
"White Fen's descendent?" Yuan Ming took his own hair and pushed it behind, completely exposing his demon appearance. "No wonder when I was sleeping, something broke through. Seems that it was you."
The white cat's face froze, completely unexpectedly, it's speaking with a deity the White Fen clan celebrated during their festivals.
Contrary to expectations, Wei Wei's fingers brushed over her thin lips and smiled evilly, "Since everyone is already present, then let's go and draw some blood from those stupid people..."
Chapter 80 - Number one Gold Bucket
The sky grad
ually darkened. A variety of lights came on. Looking at them from a distance, they appeared absolutely flourishing, bright and beautiful exquisite well illuminated lamps.
The criss-crossed roads were very beautifully embellished. At a street corner, a beggar who's curled up was startled awake by the sound of a coin clinking in the bowl.
As he lifted up his head, out of the corner of his eyes, the setting sun set and night fell. He only saw the silhouette of a female standing. On her shoulder snuggled a white cat. A smile floated on her mouth, "I'll pay you ten taels of silvers. Take off your clothes and sell them to me."
How could there be such a profitable business transaction? This was simply like picking up a huge meat pie in exchange for nothing!
The beggar got up at once and quickly took off the worn and tattered long robe from his body.
The girl smiled again, and bent her forefinger to flick ten taels of silver into that broken broken bowl of his. After that, her hand hooked onto the robe and dr.a.p.ed it on her own shoulders. The movement she used to wear the clothes was unusually quick and extremely elegant.
A moment later, the tattered robe settled in place. A girl turned into a thoroughly authentic little beggar.
She reached out and straightened out the robe's collar, casually strode with her long legs away from the dark alley. The corners of her mouth smiled as she walked towards the residence of the Nie family, a distinguished military family, not far in the distance...
The guards at the door were used to seeing these beggars and looked at her scornfully as they waved her away, "Go go go, wherever it's cool, go stay there. This is not a place you can come!"
That beggar didn't get angry and only smiled as a light wind started stirring. Her body turned as her leg kicked, the ensuing wind approached swiftly and fiercely, like a knife stabbing bone.
A bang sounded!
The Nie family's entrance gate was forced to fly with a kick, chopping open a giant hole.
The guards by the door were thoroughly stunned! They looked stupidly at the beggar walking forward as though no one was there...and finally yelled out, "Deploy the formation. Hurry and set up the formation! Somebody came to destroy this place!"
At the capitol, every military family had their own distinctive tactical formations. The members of the formation were especially groomed by the clan and were willing to die in their service.
The guard shouted, soon seeing several groups of black clothed people flit across the treetops. Their flying bodies dropped onto the ground and besieged Wei Wei at the center of the courtyard!
They wore black uniforms and menacing looks on their faces. Exerting all efforts, they spun soaring kicks while pressing in from all sides.
The beggar flipped to the side, her slender palm pushed from the ground and dodged the long legs coming at her. Her body revolved as it flew, on the corners of her mouth hung an indolent demonic smile, while she shuttled back and forth in between the group of black clothes like a phantom. The long hair moved slightly as fingers grabbed one of the person's ankle and ruthlessly pulled. Pop, pop, pow, bang. Only various sounds of movements were heard!
Those eighteen dark shadows, one after another, became confused and disorganized. When they finally reacted, all of them had already been made to kneel on the ground!
Those guards at the gate rubbed and rubbed their eyes in disbelief. Looking at the shadows hugging their legs, shrinking and rolled up, gigantic waves surged in their hearts!
Even though the Nie family's squad's formation couldn't be considered as the capitol's best, however, they were still a large formation and difficult to handle.
Unless someone's qi had reached wood rank level five or higher, it's impossible to defeat these troops!
Could it be!
This beggar had reached wood rank level five already? !
How was that possible?
Don't even mention wood rank level five, even someone with water rank level five would've been identified in the written records kept at the imperial palace.
Because the majority of people were stuck at fire rank. It's very difficult to ascend from there.
Within the Dragon War Empire, who could reach water rank, unless it's one of those influential military families' heirs. As for normal people, they could only dream about breaking through this kind of benchmark.
Yet right now, in front of their eyes, suddenly appeared a little beggar whose background they're unclear about!
What in the world was going on here?!
"Hurry and go inform the master!"
After the guards heard this, they're just about to move!
"Wait wait!"
"What?"
"She left!"
"Left?"
The Nie family's entire courtyard could almost be described as 'too tragic to look at'.
The beggar standing on the roof merely curved her lips and smiled, her words as distinctly clear and cold as the wind, "Thank you, training partners."
Thank you, training partners...
Thank you, training partners...
Thank you, training partners! ! !
"Training partners?" Elder Nie, who hurried home from the Defense Division, when he heard his subordinate's report, took large strides to arrive at the center of the courtyard. His dense eyebrows furrowed fiercely, while the Buddha beads turning in his hand also flew out immediately afterwards to fall heavily upon the ground and disintegrate into powder!
"Who are you? What's your identity?"
Elder Nie was truly angry. He never thought that at the capitol, someone unexpectedly dared to challenge a powerful family. Who wasn't aware, who didn't know that even though his family wasn't the military's best, nevertheless, they were a central branch of the Helian family, and he was a well-known figure.
Yet today, surprisingly, someone took advantage of the time he went to the Defense Division and laid waste to his nest.
Even if that was so!
The grand Nie family was used by a little petty thief to train with? !
"Investigate for me. After the answers have been found, I want to personally slaughter this little beggar!" Elder Nie gnashed his teeth as he spoke, an unprecedented sinister light flashed in his eyes!
"Yes!" One after another, the guards dropped their heads and didn't even dare to speak loudly.
The Nie family's courtyard was in a mess. The atmosphere was indescribably grave.
Elder Nie seemed like he thought of something, turned his head around and said softly, "The things that happened today, if someone dares to leak it outside, watch out for your worthless lives!"
"Yes!"
This time, the ones replying were the servant girls. They trembled uncontrollably as they kneeled on the floor, obviously frightened by the old man's words, and simply didn't even dare to carelessly look around.
Nowadays, all the influential clans have their eyes set on the martial qi exam being held not long from now. Ordinarily, they're all training strictly and secretly trying really hard. Nobody was willing to submit to someone else.
If outsiders were to know of this matter, that a central branch from the majestic Helian family, the Nie family, suddenly was beaten by an unknown beggar without even the strength to retaliate. If this matter were to be spread outside, it'd surely reduce the Nie family into the biggest joke.
But what Fang Shi Chao didn't anticipate was that for the next three successive days, not merely the Nie family, but three other families also similarly suffered being wiped out by an unknown beggar.
If only one family experienced this, the secret could still be concealed. But if all the distinguished families in the capitol met the same fate, it's the same as trying to contain fire by wrapping it inside a piece of paper.
The entire capital had now been shaken. Each clan's people were looking for this beggar, so much that they even announced a ransom of one hundred thousand taels of silver. Just for the sake of capturing her, they're actually already willing to expend money.
&nbs
p; And at this moment, that beggar early on had already changed appearance with a single shake and became a student at White Academy who was in the middle of her first truly important profitable business transaction during the ancient times.
"Really didn't anticipate, it's been such a long time, I'm surprisingly talking business with a girl." The one talking was Hei Ze, the second son of the Hei family, outstanding and well known within the capital.
Typical of the northern military's second generation, ranked in the capitol as the fifth most handsome man, strong and intelligent. A body covered with a graceful and luxurious cloak and robe turned and sat, then propped his chin. His overbearing gaze looked Wei Wei up and down. After that, slightly smiled cooly, "The one everybody thought was a spoiled good-for-nothing actually made good armaments!"
Chapter 81 - Armaments Merchant
Usually, everyone who met Hei Ze feared him, because his body had a strong scent of bloodl.u.s.t. Even the disciples of distinguished military families dared not provoke him.
However, Helian Wei Wei didn't look the least bit timid. The corners of her mouth half raised as she said in a cold voice, "We're not exploiting each other, but partnering. Young Master Hei's doing business. During a business transaction, one always maintain one's business partner's confidentiality. That way, we can go for the long term. Let's not speak anymore of other matters. Where's the silver?"
Hei Ze turned his thin lips down and extended his hand. The black cloth fell down, underneath was layer upon layers of closely packed silver ingots, "A total of one hundred thousand taels. You can go look at the accounts book, and confirm whether or not it's this figure."
Swish!
As Wei Wei lifted the black cloth to cover again, she expressionlessly said, "Since Young Master Hei said it's a hundred thousand taels, then it's a hundred thousand taels. Doing business, only talk business."
Hei Ze's finger paused as a light flashed in his eyes. Seeing that she wanted to go, he couldn't help but open his mouth to ask, "Why didn't you tell them that you don't need to depend on Grandmaster at all in order to climb up but rather, you can truly make armaments?"
