Chapter 316: His Highness Met Wei Wei
Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio
Yun Biluo contained her emotions and slowly walked toward the center of the hall.
Students from all the four compounds, Superior Compound, Fine Compound, Good Compound, and the Inferior Compound, were a.s.sembled at the center of the hall.
This reminded Helian Wei Wei of the Harry Potter movies that she watched during her childhood. Especially today, when they were going to bind a contract with the mythical beasts.
All of the students were wearing a green s.h.i.+rt and white robe as they stood in their respective lines, dividing them according to their respective compounds.
All the teachers stood at the front, explaining to the students about the things they had to take notes of.
Nonetheless, these were the mythical beasts. Once they were enraged, they would be very aggressive and caused harm.
Therefore, taming the beast was one of the most crucial and challenging parts.
First, Helian Wei Wei brought the Little Seventh Prince to where the other students of the Superior Compound were at.
When Yun Biluo arrived, she quickly spotted Helian Wei Wei. With a faint grin, she walked toward Helian Wei Wei. She stared at Helian Wei Wei with her unwavering eyes and whispered in a tone which was barely audible to the both of them, “Rumor has it that His Highness is currently here at the White Academy.”
Nonchalantly, Helian Wei Wei stopped in her tracks. She slowly raised her head to look at Yun Biluo and said with an indifferent tone, “And then?”
“That’s all I want to tell you,” Yun Biluo spoke with excessive politeness, coupled with a courteous smile. This was how she was wiser than Helian Jiao Er. “I am only curious about how much Miss Wei Wei know about His Highness.”
Helian Wei Wei stared at Yun Biluo as her gaze deepened.
At that moment, Yun Biluo almost thought that her mind was exposed and that did not feel pleasant. She felt as though she was standing in front of the Retired Emperor. No matter how glamorous she looked, for the Retired Emperor, she was only a servant who would never be allowed near His Highness.
Yun Biluo lowered her gaze and continued, “When His Highness is interested in anyone, even the slightest, he’ll treat them as a prey. I reckon that Qing Zhan has already told Miss Wei Wei about His Highness and my past. I don’t know if this is the right thing to say. Back then, I made a mistake and His Highness couldn’t get over with it. Now, I’ve finally returned. I have no intention to hurt Miss Wei Wei, but His Highness will need to make his choice.”
After she finished her sentence, she made way for Helian Wei Wei.
She appeared to be a very gentle lady, both polite and harmless.
Helian Wei Wei raised her eyebrows and walked past her.
Her abdomen was still in pain and she still had no idea about the content of the trial. Hence, she did not have the leisure for the conversation.
That aside.
Yun Biluo was right.
Indeed, Baili Jia Jue saw her as a prey…
“Woman, Yun Biluo is not as simple as you think.” Whitey squinted its eyes. “I always think that she carries an inexplicable aura. You have to be extra alert.”
Helian Wei Wei briefly acknowledged before she found herself a seat.
Yun Biluo stared at her from afar as she put on a faint smile. Deep down, she never thought that Helian Wei Wei was intimidating.
Although His Highness had married her, according to Hei Zhu, the marriage was only to please the Retired Emperor.
The other ladies of the Superior Compound, who came from n.o.ble families, thought alike as well.
Yun Biluo had finally met Helian Wei Wei.
In spite of the fact that Helian Wei Wei was the Third Princess Consort, they were subconsciously siding Yun Biluo.
In fact, more precisely, they were on Helian Jiao Er’s side.
When Helian Jiao Er introduced Yun Biluo to them, she spoke about Yun Biluo’s distinctive ident.i.ty.
The students reckoned that Yun Biluo must be one of the princesses for Helian Jiao Er to act in this respectful manner.
Compared to Helian Wei Wei, the Third Princess Consort that might be banished at any time, it was certainly more sensible for them to side Yun Biluo who ostensibly had a distinguishable ident.i.ty.
“Sister Yun, some of the hideous ones don’t like to speak to the beauties and jealousy makes her an uglier person.”
“That’s right. Sister Yun, you have to be more vigilant. She has a different ident.i.ty now. If she intends to ruin someone’s face, I’m sure Sister Yun will be her first target.”
“Sister Yun was brought in by the elders. She is not allowed to lay her fingers on Sister Yun. Ladies, let’s not talk about her anymore. We’re going to summon the mythical beasts soon. Are you girls ready?”
“Of course. But I’m sure the mythical beasts we summon will not be as powerful as Sister Yun’s. We shall wait and see how Sister Yun pulls off a stunner.”
“I agree with you. With a greater martial Qi, she will be able to summon a more powerful mythical beast. The Blast Beast, that is sold in the market, is no longer astonis.h.i.+ng. I am antic.i.p.ating to see a mythical beast like the Fire Qilin.”
“The Fire Qilin? That’s impossible. The Fire Qilin is an ancient mythical beast. No one can ever summon an ancient mythical beast.”
“That’s not necessarily right. Sister Yun might be the special person who can do it. Besides her proficient martial Qi, Sister Yun is good in martial arts too. Moreover, unlike someone else, she has previously summoned a sacred beast.”
Everyone knew who they were referring to although no name was mentioned.
Although they could not mock Helian Wei Wei openly like how they used to, they knew clearly that even if she won the martial Qi tournament, she had never learned to summon a sacred beast. Furthermore, she was emitting no martial Qi. Therefore, it would probably lead to the same result as the time she touched the crystal ball, which eventually nothing happened.
Helian Wei Wei knew what they were implying. She put on a faint smile. If they looked closely, they would discover the disdain in that smile.
With her legs were slightly crossed, she stood still. Her posture somewhat represented her character, a delicate and voguish person.
Jing Wushuang saw the scene when he approached the crowd, witnessing Helian Wei Wei’s physique that was both curvy and beautiful.
Naturally, the ladies halted their spiteful conversation and initiated a brand new topic, talking about their wishes to pray for the common people in the temple.
Helian Jiao Er’s eyes were br.i.m.m.i.n.g with tears when she heard about the stories of the casualties of some disasters. Miss Liang, who appeared to be distressed too, held her hand in sympathy.
Together, Yun Biluo furrowed her brows and heaved a sigh.
This made Helian Wei Wei appear like the mean and unsympathetic one compared to them.
This was ridiculous as they could easily gather a month of expenses for the common people by having one less bowl of bird nest.
No one was ever obliged to do charity.
However, there were always pretentious people.
They would grab every chance to present themselves as kind souls.
In fact, the ladies were doing this because of the presence of the charming Jing Wushuang.
He deserved to be deemed as the unrivaled young master.
By merely standing there, he seemed to have triumphed over the beauty of all the flowers and trees on earth.
Some of the young ladies were already blus.h.i.+ng when he walked forward steadily and flashed a friendly smile. “You’re absent from the first lesson. The teacher said that he will have to school you later. By the way, where have you been? Why were you late?”
Helian Wei Wei intended to speak.
But, she was quickly interrupted by a familiar and cold voice, “I’d like to know too. Where has my financial backer been?”
