The one who's beaten miserably yet still refused to yield, Yuan Ling Xuan's eyes were red through and through as he watched this scene, grinding his teeth with so much force they g.r.o.a.n.e.d. There's no way he's going to accept it. In spite of everything, they were crushed by the Inferior Compound so miserably that they completely lost all face!
"I refuse to accept it!" Yuan Ling Xuan stood up, when he looked towards Baili Jia Jue, he wished he could tear him to shreds on the spot. "I was merely jolted off of the stage, if this stage was bigger, I may not have necessarily lost!"
Baili Jia Jue's footsteps didn't even pause, his face appeared emotionless, clearly expressing that he didn't care whether the other accepted it or not.
On the contrary, Nangong Lie by his side evilly smiled as he sighed and said. "Brother, look at the trouble you've caused, I thought you'd beat up little Young Master Yuan so that he couldn't even crawl if he wanted to. Why did you have to go soft on him."
Baili Jia Jue glanced back, his expression unenthusiastic. "Little Young Master Yuan?"
"Uh-huh?" Nangong Lie shrugged his shoulders.
Baili Jia Jue's eyebrows rose. "Who is that."
Yuan Ling Xuan:...your daddy had just finished dueling with you, and you've already forgotten your daddy! ! !
Nangong Lie tried to hold in his laugh as he pointed at Yuan Ling Xuan, his facial expression completely contorted.
Baili Jia Jue uttered an 'oh' and curved his lips into a smile that's not a smile. "Don't you think that someone like him, rather than kill him, it's instead better to leave him alive. That remembering all the time how it feels to lose would give him more pain?
He's saying that from beginning to end, he was sparing him? ! Yuan Ling Xuan became thoroughly enraged, and wanted to rush on stage, yet was stopped by the students next to him!
"Young Master Yuan, you should calm down, if at this time you cause a disturbance, based on the academy's regulations, the principal would punish you!"
Yuan Ling Xuan was so angry, his face became deformed, opening his mouth to pant air, as if trying very hard to suppress the fury raging inside himself.
Wei Wei watched that face of his, and immediately felt that her deskmate was right. For this kind of person, losing to someone he looked down upon was so much more difficult to take than being killed.
Everything clearly had already concluded.
Yet her deskmate still revealed those facts to his opponent. This person was really sinister, too sinister.
Wei Wei glanced sideways at Baili Jia Jue's flawless face, the light in her eyes gave away her intent to probe.
Baili Jia Jue naturally sensed her scrutiny, when he returned her gaze, the corners of his mouth already rose into a smile that could pacify all living things in the world, pure, just like an angel. "What's up?"
"Nothing." Maybe she's overthinking things, Wei Wei smiled softly. "Accept the prize, after we received the prize money, let's go out for a drink!"
Baili JIa Jue replied 'sure', eyes as dark as black ink quietly extended his line of sight into the distance, a neither deep nor shallow, just a vague smiling expression floated on the corners of his mouth, both light and dark with a vestige of sorrow that couldn't be expressed.
Drink?
That's right.
Drinking more could provide an opportunity for him to do a little something, ah...
And even though the Superior Compound wasn't willing, they still could only come in second.
The matter of Helian Jiao Er, Murong Chang Feng and company entering the Battle Spirit Forces was also dropped. There was no possible compromise for this.
Wei Wei took the winnings and went off the stage as her eyes levelly swept over the young girl who wanted to escape. "Miss Mu, apparently, you've forgotten to do something."
That young girl's shoulders suddenly stiffened, slowly turned her head, and saw everyone's gaze cast in her direction. She was forced to have no other choice but to lift her arm.
Pow!
The sound of one slap, extremely clear.
Helian Jiao Er's gaze turned, extended her hand to pull at Wei Wei's sleeves in compassion. "Older Sister, she merely spoke in haste for a time, and didn't commit some big crime. Is there a need for you to put her on the spot like this."
"Not some big crime?" Wei Wei smiled, then very fiercely, very fiercely continued. "Then if I now insulted your mother, Madam Su, will you still feel that it's no big crime?"
Helian Jiao Er's fingers stopped.
Wei Wei said levelly. "Helian Jiao Er, go back and tell that good mother of yours, everything is only just getting started."
That's right.
The enmity of killing her mother, the pain of family f.o.r.c.i.b.l.y taken away.
She still hasn't revenged!
Right now, what did the things she'd done count for.
These had merely been the first step, that's all...
"You, you..." Helian Jiao Er tightly clenched both hands, yet wasn't able to speak a single word to refute her, because there were some family matters which only they knew among themselves, and were simply not fit to speak of in broad daylight.
Wei Wei also didn't care how she responded, as she calmly straightened out her sleeves, looked at the other girl's red cheek, and faintly smiled. "Miss Mu remember, I, Helian Wei Wei, has always not provoked anyone who didn't provoke me. Those who provoked me...will be eliminated completely!"
Not to mention, that year, if it wasn't for Grandscribe Mu's memorial to the emperor, how would mother have had to swallow back blood until her demise.
Don't think that because she was young, she couldn't remember anything. On the contrary, the younger she was, the more she remembered how these people finally dealt with her mother and daughter!
Just like what she'd said, she's just getting started.
Next, bit by bit, she'll seize back everything that should've belonged to her!
Chapter 174 - Wei Wei’s Drunk, You Guys Already Understand
"Damn that lowlife!" Once she returned to her room, Helian Jiao Er swept everything on the wood table to the ground.
Her servant girl kneeled on the ground and basically didn't dare to stand up.
Helian Jiao Er's fingers constricted tightly as her sharp fingernails sunk into the white handkerchief in the palm of her hand. Contained within her eyes was an unprecedented evil. "Based on the academy's custom, every year, two representatives from two compounds would be selected to accompany Retired Emperor to go burn incense and pray for blessings at the Hidden Spirit Temple. You return and tell Mother, have mother think of a way to appear and journey together with Retired Emperor's retinue. I really want to see, with mother's presence, how that lowlife can still continue to be so rampant!"
The servant girl promptly lowered her head and hurriedly replied 'yes', then withdrew.
And within Helian Jiao Er's eyes resided an unprecedented maliciousness, as if they'd been seeped in arsenic. Terrible winds seemed to be coming.
Before Third Prince chooses a consort, she must thoroughly pluck out that s.l.u.t, absolutely can't let His Highness discover her ability in armaments!
It was night.
At a restaurant in the Commerce Plaza, bustling with noise and excitement.
A crowd of people encircled this place. They're celebrating the victory today.
Helian Wei Wei originally planned to only drink a little, yet after she accepted a group of 'little brothers', everybody wanted to come and offer her wine to show their respect.
Wei Wei had never been one to adhere strictly to conventions. What's more, during modern times, everytime after she and her 'brothers' accomplished a mission, they'd go to German street and casually find a place to drink beer, partying the whole night.
That's why, Wei Wei's ability to hold alcohol was actually not bad.
However, she miscalculated the alcohol content of the sorghum wine from ancient times...
"Chief, come, I'll down another one with you!" A young lad wh
o spoke extremely heroically lifted the cup in one of his hands, the other hand scratched the back of his head. "In the past, I misunderstood chief, I ask that chief, as a person of great moral stature, please overlook my previous offenses!"
Wei Wei let go of the hand she used to support her forehead, one couldn't make out any vestige of drunkenness from her mildly smiling face as she raised her glass and clinked it against the youngster's and raised her head to down the remaining fine wine.
In any case, today's a happy day, so let's drink away.
This was the first time since Wei Wei arrived in this other world, that she felt the return of her previous hot blood.
Actually, when she first arrived at Dragon War Empire, she hadn't wanted to appear so indifferent. During the modern era, she didn't experience anything like affection, and didn't expect that it was even more so in this ancient era.
Precisely because it's like this that the emotional memories in her tool of a body could grip her heart so firmly.
Grandfather, mother...if it weren't for those people, she wouldn't have possessed the affections she yearned for day and night.
She's not the real Helian Wei Wei, yet possessed identical experiences as Wei Wei.
But her mother wasn't that strong at all.
After she found out father had betrayed her, she became clinically depressed. Everyday, every single day, she lived in pain and suffering.
At that time, she was still young when father brought home a woman almost a dozen years younger than him. She could only stare blankly and couldn't do anything else.
She knew that kind of depression was very painful. Mother was afraid her clinical depression would harm her, so she directly locked herself up in her room.
Everyday, she stood beneath the banister on the second floor, and went on tiptoes in hopes of seeing mother, yet was lifted aside by that woman, fiercely giving her a few slaps on the face.
That woman ran to her father and said that she and her mother were both psychologically unstable!
Her father didn't distinguish right from wrong and immediately sent her to boarding school. Besides the pathetic living expenses, he didn't give her anything else.
At that time, Wei Wei learned what the thing called hate was.
She made use of all her time to study, in an attempt to change her life.
She remembered very clearly, during elementary school, her classmates organized a summer camp, yet only she was left behind. This was a small village elementary school and the conditions weren't that great at all. An electric fan buzzed as it rotated above her head.
Yet what she was thankful for was that during that time
She met someone who was able to change her life.
The successor to the Tang Clan, Young Master Tang!
Young Master Tang also had clinical depression, the kind that was obvious with once glance.
He'd never talked to other people before, and was actually a genius at disappearing.
Who could know that an eight year old little child unexpectedly could use the computer to hack a system that the United States was extremely proud of.
And this child was actually of Chinese descent, truly genuinely of Chinese nationality.
Wei Wei seemed to have found her calling in that split second. She also wanted to become this kind of person, because only by becoming stronger could she protect herself and those she wanted to protect!
Her little self made the decision as she followed Young Master Tang to his hometown and found Father Tang. Not afraid to die, she asked to become a member of the Tang Clan.
Yet Young Master Tang didn't even lift his head when he said one word. "Possible."
From that moment on, she became the eighteenth agent together with them, an undefeated ace within aces.
And when she grew up, the first thing she did was to gain control of all the stocks in her father's company, then came home to pick up Mother.
Regretfully, no one waited for her since eight years ago.
Her mother passed away early on, precisely because of that treacherous father and that mistress with a viper's heart!
They were afraid of receiving public criticism, so they'd always kept mother in the house, and even Wei Wei was sent away.
That's why, compared to the original Helian Wei Wei, she detested her present sc.u.m of a father and Madam Su even more.
As she recalled her past memories, Wei Wei sunk into a shallow sleep. Basically, she drank too much wine, that's why thoughts which were originally hidden carefully, would bubble forth for a moment.
Wei Wei could barely feel something pushing away the hair on her forehead. She knitted her brows and leaned her head to one side, then the other.
Wei Wei wanted to open her eyes, but was pulled deeper by that tipsy feeling.
Finally, someone supported her, a scent of peppermint mixed with sandalwood that seemed to make a person want to fall into under the power of hypnosis.
She leaned her head and sank into someone's c.h.e.s.t.
Just now, the person proposing a toast saw and was going to stand up to support Wei Wei, yet didn't expect to be nailed to his original place by the look in Baili Jia Jue's eyes.
That kind of gaze was cold to the extreme, seemed like if he dared to touch the chief, the guy's going to take his life.
"I'll send her back." Baili Jia Jue's voice was emotionless, not the slightest bit of feeling could be heard from it.
However, what's mysterious was that they didn't dare to refuse him!
This was what's been happening after their toasts!
They clearly wanted to pour drinks for this guy, but each time, each time the wine cup almost passed in front of him, they couldn't help but feel their heart shiver, as they rigidly made a turn, and delivered the cup to their chief, instead!
It's just too damn strange, this guy clearly appeared very graceful, very confident. However, from start to finish he wore that smile that wasn't a smile, and didn't show a trace of disp.l.e.a.s.u.r.e.
Yet, they just felt their scalps go numb. Don't ask them why!
Chapter 175 - His Domineering Highness
"Master, where are we going?" Based on His Highness' usual habits, at this time, he'd take a bath.
However, today…
Shadow raised his head and turned to glance within Baili Jia Jue's embrace and couldn't help but stare blankly.
That, was that a girl?
Shadow almost suspected that he was seeing things as he fiercely rubbed his eyes.
In other people's view, His Highness had always been graceful and honorable, like a god. After all, there was also a halo above his head as an imperial heir.
However, only Shadow knew, how ice-cold and difficult to approach Master was when no one was around.
Especially when he disguised himself as a different identity in order to enter White Academy, he seemed polite as he wandered among people's gazes, but in reality, no one had ever entered his world.
His innate apathy, this was the real Highness.
There was a year when he was receiving foreign guests. A neighboring country's princess also got drunk, and took advantage of her tipsiness to insist that His Highness personally supported her.
That princess was indeed a bit rude and unreasonable, didn't listen to anybody's advice, and even seized the opportunity to wrap herself around His Highness' arm.
On the second day, His Highness set up a scheme to have that princess married off to the most distant and barren place.
The reason was that His Highness couldn't stand his favorite clothes catching the smell of alcohol, because of that princess.
At the time, Retired Emperor was so angry, he almost had people hold His Highness down and fiercely give him a beating. But no one knew of his scheme, besides His Highness' closest servants and the Retired Emperor, who saw through it. In the end, Retired Emperor, as we've seen, couldn't bear to punish His Highness, and had His Highness dragged to his side to hear a lecture full of meaningful and hea
rtfelt words.
His Highness listened to it from beginning to end, then finally curved his lips upwards. "A girl who rubbed herself back and forth on me, how would Imperial Grandfather have me be polite to her? Heh, that I haven't taken her life, could be considered good already."
However, today, His Highness unexpectedly took the initiative to carry a woman.
Shadow hardly dared to believe it.
When Baili Jia Jue was trying to go through the door while carrying Wei Wei horizontally, his fingers moved to the side, like he was afraid to bruise the woman in his embrace.
When Shadow wanted to step forward and help him support Wei Wei's slanted body, Baili Jia Jue eyes coldly swept his gaze through him. As if the gaze slashed at him, he then withdrew his hand and respectfully stood to the side.
Baili Jia Jue retraced his gaze, his voice level. "Withdraw."
Shadow originally wanted to stay by his side to help him. After all, His Highness had never attended to other people before. However, when he saw Baili Jia Jue rotate the palm of his hand around Wei Wei's head and supported her whole body in a careful and gentle manner, Shadow silently retreated away.
"I say, Ah Jue, why did you leave after only drinking half way." The matchless wickedly smiling Nangong Lie came from a distance, saw the person in his embrace, and raised the corner of his eyebrows. "Oh? This girl's face looks pretty good this way."
After saying that, Nangong Lie was going to use his hand to push aside the fringes of Wei Wei's hair, so that he could take a serious, clear look at her.
Yet he didn't think he'd hear a 'bang'!
The wood doors before him suddenly closed, before Nangong Lie could react, he's already choked by a mouthful of dust.
"F*ck! Ah Jue, this daddy's face's destroyed!"
However, Nangong Lie was at a loss. Why wouldn't he let him go in together. It's obvious that Ah Jue totally didn't know how to take care of somebody!
