Basically, it sounded as such since the first word came out of her mouth.
She managed to grab everyone's attention.
Not just the others, but even Nangong Lie's eyes flashed through a glimpse of astonishment.
At that moment, a humming could suddenly be heard from upstairs, echoing with Helian Wei Wei's tune.
Helian Wei Wei paused for an instant, and looked upstairs, bumping into the pair of Gemini-like eyes.
She could only see Jing Wushuang staring gently back at her. Clad in ivory white clothes that made him look even more graceful and remarkably alike a figure who emerged from a painting. A gust of wind swept in and was carried away by his gentle smile. His gestures were slow yet elegant, his imposing manner was able to suffocate the people in this world.
Jing Wushuang's humming was not only euphonious, but it was accompanied by a mild internal force as calm as flowing water. It appeared to be able to soothe the frustration and agitation in people's hearts with the power of harmony.
Helian Wei Wei smiled, her voice became denser and more pleasing to the ears, as if it was stained with colors when it combined together with the breathtaking humming.
She caught sight of the people who were listening to the music, her eyes were gleaming as though a singer who was recounting a heart-wrenching story.
"We promised not to break apart
But to always stay together
Even if it went against time
Could not bear deceiving each other throughout our innocent years
Living up to your name during my absurd youth
Snow, I ask you not to erase
The traces of our love…"
The singing voice subsided, the humming halted, and silence reigned in the tea house.
Chen Yifeng was dumbfounded and only returned to his senses when Helian Wei Wei rested the guqin on the ground and approached him. He blurted out, "This song is so damn beautiful!"
Like activating a trap, his words triggered the audience to react with an uproar of applause!
Everyone surrounded Helian Wei Wei, pestering her to sing another song!
Helian Wei Wei touched her stomach and laughed, "Hey, I'm still competing. Please let me through."
"Okay, okay, okay.." The scholars made way for her. With only one song, Helian Wei Wei had won over their hearts.
Even a few ladies from the Superior Compound could not help but think about Helian Wei Wei's past experiences due to this song.
Observing carefully, she was actually the one being abandoned.
The unrighteous person from the Murong Residence had filed a divorce with her, but in the end, blaming her for being an anthomaniac.
Now that she had finally tied the knot with the Third Prince, things still did not go well for her.
It was due to the fact that everyone knew the actual reason why the Third Prince married her.
As women, who would not yearn to be in the embrace of a man who would never forsake them.
However, no one was as courageous as Helian Wei Wei in speech and actions.
In fact, they were a group of cowards who did not deserve the right to mock a seemingly hideous yet tough lady.
Helian Wei Wei could not understand the thinking of these people. The reason she agreed to this gamble was very simple for she wanted to seek revenge on behalf of Qing Zhan. Hence, she was determined to have the tongue of Hei Zhu!
"Let's vote. The votes will depend on the audience's applause." Helian Wei Wei curved her thin lips, revealing a slouching manner, "Those who think I sang well, you can start clapping your hands. Well, those who applaud will receive silver coins from me."
Upon hearing the last part of the sentence, the audience's first reaction was to give out a laugh and followed by thunderous applause.
In the midst of the applause was accompanied by words of compliments, "Third Princess Consort, your singing is remarkable! Even without silver coins, I still think it's awesome!"
"Thank you." Helian Wei Wei was not accustomed to facing such huge praise. She was not flamboyant but instead smiled with a handsome expression. "All thanks to your good taste."
Composed but not cold, indifferent yet humorous.
No other words could be used to describe Helian Wei Wei more precisely.
Those words attracted a few more applauses.
For the song, and also for Helian Wei Wei.
The outcome was immensely obvious.
During Yun Biluo's turn, only a few applause echoed in the air and mostly came from those who were on Helian Jiao Er's side.
All of a sudden, the color drained from Hei Zhu's face.
Helian Wei Wei smiled faintly, rotating a dagger in her hand. At that moment, she appeared like a monster, acting in a forceful way. "Are you going to do it yourself, or do you need my help?"
As Hei Zhu saw Helian Wei Wei walked over, she gripped both her hands tightly, seemed like she was about to strike.
Yun Biluo definitely would not allow her to have the chance to strike. If anything went wrong, her whereabouts would be known to the world. How would she be willing to let herself be escorted by the Retired Emperor again before meeting him?
Upon thinking, she reached out to stop Hei Zhu while fixing her gaze at Qing Zhan, "You've always got along well with Hei Zhu, Qing Zhan. If she loses her tongue, the rest of her life…"
The death knights have empathy for each other as they had gone through countless training and in the end, only a few managed to live.
Other than protecting their masters, their leisure time was spent with each other. That was why they could be considered to have been through life and death together.
Yun Biluo purposely dragged Qing Zhan into this matter, just to cause a dilemma in Qing Zhan...
Chapter 300 - Wei Wei Beats People
The reason was simple.
At this time, if Qing Zhan did not beg for mercy, some people would say that she is ungrateful.
If Qing Zhan pleaded for her, it would surely leave a knot in Helian Wei Wei's heart.
Huh, there were some things that could only be better started when there is discord between the master and the servant...
Qing Zhan paused and looked at Yun Biluo in disbelief. It seemed that in her mind, a person with an existence like her elder sister would not have created such a problem to make it difficult for her at all.
But apparently, she was wrong.
People can do anything once they get some benefits.
Maybe it was because she was on the princess consort's side that she became a target for attack.
She looked up and was about to open her mouth.
But Helian Wei Wei spoke ahead, "Miss Yun, Qing Zhan is a soft-hearted girl, but once she followed me, she became my people. However, I have a personal principle which is to shield a shortcoming. You said that the relationship between Qing Zhan and Hei Zhu had always been good, so I would like to ask, Hei Zhu had been joking with Qing Zhan's previous thoughts and you ask Qing Zhan how about the rest of Hei Zhu's life? Then what about the rest of Qing Zhan's life? What a woman cares about most is their reputation. Did Hei Zhu give any regard to Qing Zhan's reputation? Or could it be that you can't bear to lose?"
Yun Biluo's bent eyes were stiff, her fingers slowly seized up and exerted its strength. Nonetheless, she still looked soft, and her eyes were red with grievance, "Of course not, Lady Wei Wei, you misunderstood me."
"Then be as willing to admit your defeat as you did to bet." With that, Helian Wei Wei put her hand on Qing Zhan's shoulder and said, "Also, Young Master Lie."
Helian Wei Wei said the words Young Master Lie lazily, but there was a sense of coldness in them.
"I think you misunderstood what had happened before." She smiled at Nangong Lie, "Qing Zhan is too young and so it is easy for her to get soft-hearted. Sometimes she can't tell what she likes and dislikes. Besides, even if she likes it, she knows how to let go. No matter what, now I see this is how you treat a person who once took care of y
ou so much, you just watch as she is mocked by others. Young Master Lie, I have to say that you treat yourself too much as a 'dish'. Do you really think that you can make people never tire of eating this 'dish'? "
Nangong Lie looked up sharply. He wanted to explain, but Qing Zhan's eyes did not fall on him from the beginning, and his heart began to sink slowly. He felt so upset and wanted to curse for the first time in his life!
Helian Wei Wei gently lifted the corners of her thin lips, then reached out her hands and pinched Qing Zhan's face, "Well, there is no need to make such a difficult choice. How could someone be in trouble if I want something?"
The moment she finished speaking, no one could see clearly how she moved.
Helian Wei Wei's people came to the front of Hei Zhu!
After all, Hei Zhu was a death knight, so she was naturally aware of the danger. But when she wanted to reach out to block, she realized that it was too late!
Helian Wei Wei looked at her and first gave her three brutal slaps with a vicious smile!
Slap!
The last slap was with great strength.
It caused the whole face of Hei Zhu to turn to one side.
Hei Zhu had not been beaten like this by anyone before, there was even blood in her mouth.
She only heard Helian Wei Wei's voice which spoke in a light manner, "These three slaps are for Qing Zhan. Hei Zhu, did you think that everyone is the same as you, and want to be a concubine?"
It was like being punctured, and Hei Zhu's face changed, "What did you say!"
"How much do you want to be Baili Jia Jue's concubine that you can do so many disgusting things?" When Helian Wei Wei finished this sentence, the dagger moved.
When Hei Zhu wanted to open her mouth again, her mouth was bloody, and the pain made her scream in an instant!
However, Helian Wei Wei seemed like she did not hear her, and took her hand back.
Yun Biluo never thought that she would slap her, and that the slap would be so malicious. Yun Biluo then caught Hei Zhu, and when she saw the blood gushing out from her, she quickly stuffed her with a medicine pill!
Helian Wei Wei did not care about them at all. She glanced over at the students of several elite courtyards who s.u.c.k.e.d in deep breaths, among them was Helian Jiao Er. "How many times have I said that I am not the useless person that I was anymore, but you all still refuse to listen and always come up to me. Chen Yifeng! "
"Boss, I'm here! I'm here! " Chen Yifeng went up to her enthusiastically, "Whom do you want to beat, just say it!"
Helian Wei Wei knocked a c.h.e.s.tnut at him, "Can beating people solve the problem? We are all culturalists, we shouldn't always fight and kill."
Chen Yifeng, … Then who was it who just hurt people just now!!!
"I listen to the Boss's instructions!" The old man of his family said that following their boss would surely be right. This was an amazing woman!
The tone of Helian Wei Wei's voice was very light and it made people feel a little numb at the scalp because of it, "Look into which families these girls are from and sort out the information. Then, give it to the dean and say that they were suspected to have bullied classmates. After all, violence is not allowed in the academy."
"Yes~" Chen Yifeng looked down and thought in his heart that his Boss' learning of the skill to retaliate was getting better and better... Although these people really loved to get together and laugh at others, where did the term violence in the academy come from?!
After Helian Wei Wei had finished settling her hash, she did not care about the expressions of Yun Biluo and the rest, including Nangong Lie.
She just raised her long legs and walked towards the second floor. As she walked, she tried to tie up the long hair that she had let go a while ago. Unfortunately, when she hit someone just now...
While she was thinking, a pair of hands which were as if they were carved from jade reached out to Helian Wei Wei suddenly. It carried a light fragrance of medicine, and the hand was holding a simple and unadorned hairpin. It gave off a sense of reassuring calmness, "Here you go."
As soon as Helian Wei Wei looked up, she saw Jing Wushuang's deep black eyes which were like the sea and raised her eyebrow before saying, "How did it end up with you?"
Jing Wushuang merely smiled, and the hand which was holding the hairpin stretched forward again, indicating that she should tie up her hair.
Helian Wei Wei took it and tied her hair in a calm manner, as if the person who had just been cruel was not her. Her actions were elegant, though it also carried a sense of laziness.
Seeing that the woman had re-tied her hair again, Jing Wushuang nodded with satisfaction, and his lips were still smiling lightly, "This look is more suitable on you."
"That's why I say I'm a gentle person." Helian Wei Wei bit her lower lip in a cool manner, and the sense of alienation in her eyes gradually faded, "Thank you for what you did just now, your flute was blown beautifully."
"It is because you are a good singer." Jing Wushuang smiled and coughed lightly, "This is the first time I have heard such a song. Even if it is against time, even if it is against the world, what a person wishes for in life is merely a confidant."
The corner of Helian Wei Wei's lips curved up slightly, "If Master Wushuang opens his mouth, countless female confidants would follow in succession."
"Me?" Jing Wushuang looked at Helian Wei Wei's black eyes, and the corners of his eyes were unusually gentle, "Forget it. Would you like a cup of tea before you go? Coincidentally I have a martial practice at hand and I can't understand some of it."
Chapter 301 - His Highness
Helian Wei Wei agreed and allowed Chen Yifeng to settle the rest of the matter.
At first, Qing Zhan wanted to assist Chen Yifeng, but the moment she took a step forward, somebody grabbed her arm.
Without giving her the chance to escape, Nangong Lie dragged her over and strode toward the door.
"Hey, you!" Chen Yifeng intended to hold him back initially.
Nangong Lie threw him a cold glance, "It's none of your business, get lost!"
The Genius Worshipper had his temper as well.
Being the heir of the Worshipper for the entire War Dragon Empire, once Nangong Lie tore his recklessness apart, buried deep underneath it would be nothing but unbearable coldness!
Chen Yifeng heard about Nangong Lie as he and their boss Helian Wei Wei used to be in the same team before. Both were from the Inferior Compound as well. From the surface, their relationship seemed to be pretty good.
Today… To be honest, Chen Yifeng was a bit confused!
Qing Zhan knew this young master well as she had served him for almost 10 years, thus instead of struggling she just lifted her eyes and said in a flat tone, "Young Master Lie, if there is anything just say it here, Yifeng and I still have things to settle."
"Yifeng?" Nangong Lie looked back, his tone icy unlike his usual way of speaking, "What an intimate way to call his name. What, now that you have changed your master, you've changed the person you like as well, right?"
Qing Zhan pulled her hand back, as if she was making a statement, "Young Master Lie, as you know, my master has changed now, and as a servant I have to be loyal to my new master. So Young Master Lie, please don't put me in such an awkward position."
The word 'servant' kept on buzzing around his ears. It made Nangong Lie feel irritated. Taking a deep breath, he lowered his tone, "What if I said that it was just a coincidence that I passed by here today and I never thought that they would insult you like this, would you trust me?"
"I would."
These two words, replied in such a quick manner made Nangong Lie feel that something was wrong.
"Is there anything else, Young Master Lie? If not, please excuse us." Standing there with her back straight, never in her life had Qing Zhan imagined that one day she could straighten her back to that extent. Today, if not for the princess consort, she would never understand this feeling at all. She had been loving someone for so
long until she lost track of her self esteem. That was why people took advantage of her weak spot and kept on attacking her, making her no longer remember where her pride was.
Nangong Lie watched as the girl in front of him walked toward another man, slow and steady. The both of them paid compensation to the teahouse. Those bystanders who were watching just now had all become wary of them.
Yun Biluo was sitting on the floor with Hei Zhu still in her arms, tears streaking down her face.
Nangong Lie barely regretted anything, yet he regretted coming to this teahouse today.
He certainly would not let those who mocked her get away with it so easily.
But...
Bang!
As if he could not stand it anymore, Nangong Lie kicked the wooden stool beside him and left the teahouse. He feared that he might lose control if he continued staying there.
Based on the current situation, anyone would seem to be more important than him.
She was just taking advantage of the fact that he could cause her no harm. His tolerance was the source for her misbehavior.
After all, she was the one who poisoned him, why was he the one who took the blame?
Nangong Lie thought for a while, then he returned, but this time with his malevolent look as usual. Leaning down slightly, he whispered in Qing Zhan's ear, "You don't care about yourself, that's fine, but at least you should think about your princess consort's end, as well as that Chen Yifeng beside you. If you want to cause the Chen family to lose their political position, then you can continue staying here."
When he was done, he smiled, turned and left.
Qing Zhan bit her lip, this time she had no choice but to follow him.
At a lonely corner, Nangong Lie did not seem to be happy though, there was a particular coldness in his smile, "Looks like you treat him pretty well."
Lowering her eyes, Qing Zhan asked, "How do you want to ease your anger?"
"Want to ease my anger?" Nangong Lie's voice was faint, "Then go ahead and tell Helian Wei Wei that you want to come back."
Qing Chan raised her head abruptly, eyebrows knitted, "Come back? I thought you didn't want to see me?"
