Chapter 287: She Could Not See Through Helian Wei Wei
Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio
Helian Wei Wei was not eager to talk to Huan Ming Xiang. She paced to the window and sat floppily on the chair. She was holding a book in her hands. Even the gesture of her flipping through the pages of the book seemed unhurried.
In any case, the most important rule for someone who was doing an important business was to stay calm.
But, someone like Helian Wei Wei was extremely rare.
Sure enough, it was not simple.
The girl put down the book in her hands. She was perfectly concealed amid the light and shades.
Huan Ming Xiang gave Helian Wei Wei an acknowledging gaze and said, “Luan Yan, come out. I told you before that she is very good at keeping secrets. When there is a presence of a third party, she will definitely not come to greet me.”
Just right after Huan Ming Xiang finished his sentence, a green shadow flashed by and landed on the ground silently.
The girl walked forward and greeted him as an uncle.
Luan Yan raised his hand. His emotions were indistinguishable from his expression.
Just like Huan Ming Xiang, he was the leader of the Battle Spirit Forces. Every leader would have his own favorite entrant. Undoubtedly, this girl was the entrant that he valued the most.
“It seems that I’ve worried too much.” Luan Yan retrieved his gaze from Helian Wei Wei, “She is more composed than I thought.”
Huan Ming Xiang stroked his long white beard and said, “You will find out more about her strengths in the future.”
Luan Yan did not respond, but said in an unvarying tone, “I heard that she does not have martial Qi yet.”
“Ha, woman, here comes another person who looks down on you.” Yuan Ming snickered.
Seemed to be not bothered at all, Helian Wei Wei yawned.
The eyes of Huan Ming Xiang lit up but his tone of voice turned cold, “But she won the martial Qi competition in the Capital. I guess you can’t possibly unaware of that.”
“Old Man Huan.” Luan Yan threw a side glance at Huan Ming Xiang. “I didn’t mean this in a bad way. If she is a student who has passed, she certainly has her own values. However, you also understand that the Battle Spirit Forces have always emphasized the speed and skill of stealth. She still has a lot of room for improvement in these aspects.”
Upon listening to this statement, Helian Wei Wei’s lips quirked.
She had never expected that one day her capability and skill to stealth would be doubted.
She joined the Tang Sect when she was seven years old. During her first lesson, she was personally guided by Young Master Tang of how to hide her true self from the others.
“Young master apparently has no confidence in me,” Helian Wei Wei stood up, took a step forward with her long legs and walked toward Luan Yan slowly in a tip-toeing manner.
Luan Yan threw a glimpse at her, “It doesn’t matter if I’m confident in you or not. The fact is that I don’t know you well.”
“Young Master, you’re not my leader. Of course, you don’t know me well.” Helian Wei Wei opened her eyes slothfully. ” However, you began to pick on my weaknesses right after we met. Are you being a little disrespectful to Old Man Huan?”
Luan Yan was stunned by her words. His expression changed before he turned around and said to Huan Ming Xiang, “Old Man Huan, I didn’t mean it that way. But, the Battle Spirit Forces have never recruited someone without martial Qi. I am worried that she might not be able to catch up during the real battle.”
“Those who have been selected will go through training for a period of time. Within this period, those who are not fit will be eliminated.” Huan Ming Xiang gazed at Luan Yan casually. “There’s nothing for you to worry about. You only have to manage your own candidate.”
Upon listening to this, Luan Yan knew that he had gone overboard with his previous statement. Deep down, he did not appreciate Helian Wei Wei, but he could only wait until the end to find out who would be the last one standing.
Probably wanted to enliven the current atmosphere, the girl suddenly spoke with her clear and melodious voice, “I didn’t expect you to join the Battle Spirit Forces as well. Is this part of predestination?”
“Probably,” Helian Wei Wei said lazily without much emotion.
Her words somewhat confused the girl.
Luan Yan furrowed his brows. “You guys have met before?”
The girl chuckled and explained, “Yeah, we met before. I bumped into this lady yesterday night just right after I arrived at the academy. I was fairly stunned when I saw her again here.”
As she spoke, the girl turned to look at Helian Wei Wei, “My name is Yun Biluo. What’s yours?”
“Helian Wei Wei.” She was still smiling courteously.
The girl squinted her eyes. She, who was a death knight before, had encountered many types of people. But she had never met someone like Helian Wei Wei.
However, it did not matter.
She did not care what kind of person her opponent was.
As she knew that she would definitely be the ultimate winner.
Thinking about this, her lips curled upward. Her smile carried a unique sweetness and innocence of a girl.
Helian Wei Wei looked at her and played with the parts of martial practice on her hands.
Yuan Ming, on the other hand, was wearing a chilling grin.
Everything seemed to be so calm and peaceful.
The eyes of Shadow wavered when he received the news reported by Hei Zhu.
The White Academy?
Miss Yun is in the White Academy too?
Shadow furrowed his thick eyebrows and his body briefly froze.
Other than Eunuch Sun, he was the only person who knew that His Highness was studying at the White Academy.
Initially, everything was at peace.
But now…
Even Miss Yun was here too.
This matter seemed to have become very difficult to deal with.
The Retired Emperor had always disliked Miss Yun.
At this time, Miss Yun’s return would inevitably result in His Highness’s biased judgment…
He could not comprehend the reason why Miss Yun appeared at the White Academy right after His Highness’ wedding, but not anytime earlier or later.
He understood that Hei Zhu wanted him to send the message to His Highness.
But, he thought it was not the best time to do so.
“I should be the only person who knows about this,” Shadow looked at Hei Zhu without any emotions, “Keep it from anyone else. ”
Hei Zhu laughed, “I understand that the Retired Emperor has always disliked my Elder Sister. I’m certain that he is not happy to see Elder Sister’s return. I used to think that Elder Sister would be gone forever, but unexpectedly, she merely went to another place. When the Retired Emperor forbade the relationship between His Highness and Elder Sister, His Highness was sorrowful for a very long time. Now that my Elder Sister is finally back, both of them can finally get back together. Of course, I will not reveal the news of my sister’s return to anyone else. There are many ears in the White Academy. If the news accidentally goes to the Retired Emperor, I’ll be the culprit who hurts my Elder Sister.”
“Regarding the issue that year,” Shadow paused, “We didn’t know what exactly happened. The Retired Emperor might have his reasons for doing that. Also, about what happened next… Hei Zhu, let me repeat it for one last time. His Highness personally agreed to marry the Princess Consort so it’s better for us, the servants, to keep our opinions to ourselves.”
Servants? Ha! Hei Zhu sneered. She had had enough of the title. Her Elder Sister had promised to keep her a place in the palace once she became the Third Princess Consort.
She was envious of her Elder Sister’s talent. In her opinion, only a lady like her Elder Sister deserved to serve His Highness. Therefore, she never had the audacity to have any wishful desires.
That hideous woman was just lucky to be acknowledged by the Retired Emperor.
Otherwise, His Highness would never agree to marry her.
However, she did not mention these to Shadow as she was tired of being schooled.
Now she could only wait for Shadow to bring the news to His Highness. Then, she would be happy to watch the hideous woman as she suffered from her consequences.
