Chapter 459: The Hidden Army Recognized Their Master!
Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio
“Yes.” Chi Yan’s tone was faint yet laced with a hint of playfulness as he walked toward Helian Wei Wei. Subsequently, with darkened eyes, he spoke again in a low voice, “Young Master.”
The final two words that came out of his mouth made Helian Guan Yao suddenly realize something. As his hands clenched the stack of letters in his hands, he looked toward Chi Yan!
Impossible!
This was absolutely impossible!
The audience who stood further away could not hear the conversation clearly and had no idea of what was going on above.
However, they were confused. Was the hidden army not summoned by Helian Guang Yao? Why did the general run off to the Princess Consort’s side?
“What’s going on?”
“I have no idea, maybe there’s a turn of events?”
Murmurs rippled across the crowd once again.
Helian Guang Yao felt faint and dared not think about his realization.
Meanwhile, Da Xiong could not hold back anymore. Now that he saw Helian Wei Wei summon Chi Yan, he knelt down on one knee without hesitation. With a collective thud, the rest of the hidden army who was standing among the crowd had moved as well. The grandeur of the scene was magnificent, to say the least.
Helian Wei Wei stood up while smiling slightly. “Helian Guang Yao, what right did you have in thinking that you could command my hidden army? With those measly letters? Da Xiong, tell him, what was your purpose of coming here?”
“To aid the Young Master, of course!” His voice rang loud and clear!
As he shouted out the answer, the crowd went into an uproar.
“What did he just call the Princess Consort? Young…Young Master?”
“No way! Unless the hidden army already found their master?!”
“That’s impossible, the hidden army was gone for so long, the Princess Consort couldn’t have found them right?”
“It’s not totally impossible, just look at those men!”
The crowd turned to see that there were 18 men all clad in black robes, including some of the guards who had stood behind Helian Wei Wei just now. All of them had different stances and were not very handsome, but they gave off a lethal aura that suffocated the crowd!
“They really… really found their master?”
The stewards were stunned in astonishment as they murmured to themselves in disbelief and their teacups fell from their hands!
However, Su Yan Mo could not believe this. She could not believe that the hidden army had already found their master!
Two days ago, they were still exchanging letters.
How was it remotely possible that they could have recognized that little b*tch as their master!
Lies!
These were all lies!
“Old Master, tell them quickly! Tell them who is the hidden army’s true master!” Su Yan Mo pulled on Helian Guang Yao’s sleeves, her shriek pierced the air like a sharp blade!
Her mind was so filled with the thought of Helian Wei Wei humiliating herself that she did not even realize that color had drained from Helian Guang Yao’s face.
However, once she saw the letters in his hands, Su Yan Mo finally figured it out and her eyes were filled with shock and confusion as she murmured with shaking lips, “Was she the one who replied to our letters all along? Did she get to the hidden army before we did? How could this be? But these letters, this handwriting! Old Master, say something! What on earth is going on?”
Helian Guang Yao could only hear buzzing in the background as his whole body stiffened. He felt faint and he suddenly could not breathe properly while his arms trembled and he almost lost his balance.
“Old Master!” Su Yan Mo shouted in panic, fumbling to support his body.
Only with her actions was Helian Guang Yao’s dignity saved. He pressed onto his temples as if he was waiting for nausea to pa.s.s.
Seeing him like this, Su Yan Mo could no longer take it anymore and raised her eyes toward Helian Wei Wei with a lecturing tone, “Wei Wei, no matter how immature you are, you should remember that he is your father! I know that you’ve hated me for all these years, which is why you punish your father like this, and I don’t care how you treat me, but why do you intentionally spite your father like this? One with great power is nothing without filial piety!”
Su Yan Mo’s expression was one of righteousness and justice as if she would take on all the hards.h.i.+p regardless of the results. Helian Wei Wei was just a little b*tch who would harm even her own father. No matter how powerful and clever she was, she would still be trash to society!
Naturally, her words caused another ripple of disturbance. After all, they were in an ancient era.
During ancient times, filial piety was the top priority.
Is Su Yan Mo trying to cause a commotion to stop her from getting the seat?
Helian Wei Wei’s eyes chilled as a smile streaked across her pretty face. “Filial piety? That depends if he was even worthy of my effort to do so!” She pointed ferociously at Helian Guang Yao. “Seven years ago, when my mother was injured and bed-ridden, what did this b*stard do? Not only did he find himself another woman behind my mother’s back, he even married that woman. So if you can lecture me, then let me ask you something. My mother was wise and just, what did she do wrong? If he didn’t want to stay in the Helian family, he could have just packed up and left! But because of his insatiable greed, he poisoned my mother so he could rule the Helian Clan! Helian Guang Yao owed his life to both my grandfather and my mother. That b*stard is less than a man. My grandfather would never have known that in saving a life, he would breed such a thief with no morals!”
“You, you, you…” Helian Guang Yao was so angry at Helian Wei Wei’s words that he began stuttering.
Upon learning this ground-shaking secret, the stewards looked toward Helian Guang Yao and Su Yan Mo in shock and astonishment!
Su Yan Mo was unafraid. When they took action, there had only been herself and Helian Guang Yao, who could prove that it was them who had killed her?
“Wei Wei, you can’t tarnish your father’s name just to make excuses for yourself!” Su Yan Mo had her own plans. No matter what, she would get through this public event, albeit only on the surface.
Smart as she was, Helian Wei Wei naturally knew that Su Yan Mo was trying to defend herself. Thus, she laughed as she stepped forward, looking sideways as she whispered softly by Su Yan Mo’s ear, “Madam Su, why are you so quick to draw your conclusion? My second gift hasn’t even arrived yet.”
As she finished speaking, a pet.i.te and beautiful figure rushed in from the outside to hug Helian Guang Yao, raising her head pitifully as her small face shone with tears. “Guang Yao, are you alright?”
Helian Guang Yao had not expected Lan Lian to come here and subconsciously tried to push her away. After all, they were in public and such intimate acts were not appropriate, but seeing the concern in her eyes, he felt touched and patted her back gently. He let out a long sigh, her small face could always bring out his gentleness…
“Who is she?!!” Su Yan Mo’s voice rang out by his ears, so sharp that it almost revealed all of her evilness, “Guang Yao, explain yourself, who is she?”
She had never expected to see her husband holding another woman in his arms at a time like this!
