Chapter 326: His Highness Was Domineering
Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio
A smile drew over Helian Wei Wei’s nonchalant lips. However, she discovered that she had been immobilized as she tried to leave.
She glanced confusingly at the man next to her.
What is the meaning of this?
Didn’t he tell me to scram?
Meanwhile, Yun Biluo’s face was br.i.m.m.i.n.g with a teasing smile and her stunning eyes were filled with undisguised joy.
Helian Wei Wei looked at her expressionlessly with a hint of obvious ridicule in her gaze. She’s this happy?
Yun Biluo paused a moment after noticing her stare. Then, she looked away at Bali Jia Jue and smiled gingerly. Her smile was seductively feminine.
Baili Jia Jue merely furrowed his brows as he gave a sharp, piercing stare at Yun Biluo. He pondered for a moment and uttered in a deep, velvety voice, “Miss Yun.”
His tone was indifferent, yet faintly tinged with an air of enigma.
Miss Yun?
Yun Biluo was surprised when she was called.
However, she a.s.sumed that His Highness was probably trying not to reveal his ident.i.ty.
Her smile widened. “Yes?”
“I was referring to you when I said ‘Scram’.”
Nothing more than a few words with a soft voice, but they were enough to echo clearly in everyone’s ears.
Yun Biluo was completely dumbfounded. She felt that her brain was buzzing wildly, giving her a terrible headache.
His tone was so devoid of any emotions, it was as though she was an unimportant stranger.
Yun Biluo only regained her senses after some time. She glanced at Baili Jia Jue subconsciously, but he merely stood there, impa.s.sive.
On the other hand, Helian Wei Wei did not quite realize what had happened.
Feeling embarra.s.sed, Yun Biluo tightly clenched her fist. Her clear, beautiful face faded into a look of discomfort, as disappointment lurked in her sparkling, beautiful eyes. She forced a slight smile onto her tensed cheeks, her eyes red and damp with tears. “I know it’s my fault…”
She clearly had something to say, but their conversation went unheard by the surrounding people.
Helian Jiao Er concocted a scheme when she noticed the man appearing behind Helian Wei Wei. Unable to contain herself, she cried in a shrill voice, “Elder Sister! You endlessly oppressed us as the princess consort, yet you disrespect that t.i.tle by behaving so intimately with another man! Elder Sister, are you not afraid that people will say that you are profligate and unchaste?”
When Yun Biluo heard it, she resisted the urge to turn and slap Helian Jiao Er in the face!
Does she know what she is doing?
She is ruining her plan!
However, Helian Wei Wei did not give her the opportunity. She glanced amusingly at Baili Jia Jue and responded flatly, “I am profligate and unchaste?”
“Elder Sister, everyone in the academy is well-aware of the relations.h.i.+p between you and this man.” Helian Jiao Er decided to wager her everything or the chance to completely destroy Helian Wei Wei would forever elude her. “You were the one who gave this man his fortune, aren’t you? Why do you treat him so well even though both of you are not related at all?”
Let’s see how this tramp will respond!
Helian Jiao Er’s objective was clear as day.
The few n.o.ble ladies who had been bullied by Yun Biluo followed suit and began taunting, “Princess consort, you bring serious disgrace to your t.i.tle.”
“The entire academy was fine until someone came and sullied the peace. That person is so indiscreet in her private life, I wonder how she even pa.s.sed the selection process.”
“Needless to say, she has many tricks up her sleeves.”
Helian Wei Wei crossed her arms and scanned over them silently.
“Elder Sister, I really wanted to believe in you,” Helian Jiao Er continued with feigned earnestness, “However, everyone saw the things you did. His Highness may be oblivious for now, but surely you are aware of the consequences when he finds out eventually?”
The Little Seventh Prince tightly furrowed his bushy eyebrows. He glanced at his Third Brother who seemed indifferent, and then at Helian Jiao Er, who was still ranting on endlessly.
A thought came to his mind.
This woman is as good as dead!
As expected, Bali Jia Jue slowly began in his deep and rich voice, “I do wonder what the consequences could possibly be.”
Helian Jiao Er could not help but be dazed by Baili Jia Jue’s ethereal pulchritude and his devilish smile. “Young master, I can empathize with your dilemma. If you are in urgent need of money, the General’s residence is willing to aid. However, you must be aware that the person you befriended is an engaged lady.”
“Oh?” Baili Jia Jue smiled faintly while his expression was indecipherably mysterious. “I wasn’t aware that the young ladies from General’s residence usually dismiss others with mere wealth.”
Helian Jiao Er’s tone dampened slightly as she realized that there was something odd, “I am merely warning to stop you from going astray. If this is how you interpret my goodwill, I believe there is no need to further our discussion. I pray you will not come to regret what you have just said. After all, the General’s residence has its dignity.”
“Are you perhaps trying to oppress me with your status?” The corners of Bali Jia Jue’s mouth raised slightly. Then, he glanced at the little one standing nearby.
The little one had shouldered the snake’s head and walked over.
Then, he raised his head.
“Third Brother.”
His voice sounded a little meek.
However, to Helian Jiao Er, it sounded like a roar of thunder cracking directly above her head.
Her face paled instantly!
After the Little Seventh Prince greeted his Third Brother, the entire courtyard of students turned deathly silent as if they were held by their throats.
The students turned their bewildered eyes toward Baili Jia Jue. Even the teachers were deeply shaken by this address.
A student from the Inferior Compound.
An outsider who could not even afford tuition fees.
He was actually the famed, unparalleled Third Prince?
What is actually happening?
The teacher began to feel a little dizzy.
Some students felt their blood boiling under their skin.
However, the excitement was overflowing from the faces of the students from the Inferior Compound!
No wonder the man they idolized was so impressive.
No wonder he did not like socializing with them.
He managed to astound the entire White Academy with a single move.
It was because he was none other than the highly admired Third Prince himself!
In stark contrast, the students from the Superior Compound were stricken dumb!
Each of them broke into a cold sweat when they recalled the countless occasions they tried bullying him.
We even taunted him for a challenge letter!
Thank goodness… thank goodness he never granted us with the slightest bit of attention!
He never even bothered reading our challenge letters!
Or else…
The students from the Superior Compound grew increasingly pale as they dwelled on the thoughts further.
It was mainly the n.o.ble ladies who began to panic. Almost every one of them had mocked Bali Jia Jue’s status. They were jealous of his sole attention to Helian Wei Wei, ignoring them completely.
However, all they could do now was to slap themselves in the face!
Helian Jiao Er felt restless and fervently tried to explain herself, desperation written all over her face. “Third… Third Prince, just now, I…”
