Hearing that, Huan Ming Xiangâs back stiffened as he extended his hand silently and took out the earth ranked manual that he previously found. The more he looked at it, the more he felt that it was written a bit poorly.
However, it was enough to be used as a guide. Huan Ming Xiang turned his head around and said to the human figure. âItâs about time. You go get busy. I need to keep an appointment.â
âYes.â The human figure respectfully withdrew as he watched the old manâs shrinking rear view. He couldnât help but let out a sigh. This was still the first time that heâd seen Elder Huan treat someone with so much care. It seemed that in Elder Huanâs mind, he still felt that Miss Helian shouldâve been chosen.
Itâs just that...
How could an earth ranked martial artist deal with the Superior Compoundâs geniuses. The match would end before it even began.
Itâs obvious, no matter how strong she was, Miss Helian still would have no way of turning back the universe by herself...
Evening sunset.
The time when true demons come out.
At a corner of the Commerce Plaza, the sunâs radiance coming down, painted their surroundings into a wash of golden color.
The entire world was enveloped within utterly enchanting orange rays of light.
The blue skies were awashed, the azure skies were like an unadulterated ocean.
Occasionally, a big black bird shrilly gave out a piercing cry from the sky.
The white clouds were as velvety as mercury, floating in the azure sky.
Itâs radiance filtered through the small cracks between treetops forming spots and stripes of swaying lights by the side.
Those spots like stars in the sky were scattered by gigantic swaying green trees again, casting light upon Wei Weiâs face, making her feel so comfortable that she closed her eyes and stretched her body. She faced Baili Jia Jue to say. âElder Huan should be arriving shortly. You sit here first while I go take a look.â
âOkay.â Baili Jia Jue took the teacup in his hand, his fingertips turning lightly, the pair of long and narrow eyes hidden in depth, at this moment, also seemed to have caught a saturated golden color producing the kind of charm from someone of mixed blood.
Wei Weiâs brain couldnât help but think of the word âevildoerâ. As she strolled away over to the other side. Huan Ming Xiang was just arriving with broom in hand.
âWhereâs that desk-mate of yours? Why donât I see him?â Huan Ming Xiang whose back was originally weighed down, once he stood up and let go of his disguise, immediately obtained an elderly cultivatorâs breath and strength.
Wei Wei was just going to say that heâs inside, when she saw that person strolling towards her.
Wei Wei turned her head to smile at Huan Ming Xiang. âHeâs coming.â
âGood, but I need to tell you something in advance, an earth ranked martial artist, even if he trained exhaustingly, within one day, he wouldnât be able to advance...â Huan Ming Xiang hadnât finished speaking when all of his voice, with the appearance of that silhouette, was stuck in his throat!
As the human shape approached, even his brown pupils unceasingly enlarged, as if he couldnât believe his eyes. That always composed old face became totally astonished.
The side of that young manâs finely contoured face illuminated by the sunshine looked to be exquisitely carved from ice but at the same time also radiated indifference.
That cold and aloof face seemed to have caught some color which highlighted him even more vividly.
HIs body gracefully stood there with his amber colored pupils reflecting the pure and holy late afternoon light, like a single golden blade of wheat floating coldly. His body length black robe was agitated by the wind, and gracefully floated in the air like black smoke wrapping around his slender yet powerful body.
Like that high-quality ink brushed on fine writing paper, unrolled from a beautiful red sandalwood case. Each brushstroke distinctly separated black from white, fluid yet clear-cut, as if the thousand miles of the world were produced in a flash between his smile and his words.
Watching that unique and unrivalled face, Huan Ming Xiang was thoroughly dazed.
His entire body seemed to have been struck by lightning and was burnt on the outside, crunchy on the inside!
Who could tell him, what the heck was going on? !
That icy fellow who was so hateful his teeth ached whenever he thought of him, how did he.....did he turn into some earth ranked martial artist!
âElder Huan. Long time no see.â Didnât we say that Third Prince was two faced? In order to prevent Wei Wei from sensing something at this time, when Wei Wei mentioned Huan Ming Xiang, he already said that theyâve met. In this way, he could explain why the old man looked at him with so much astonishment.
When Huan Ming Xiang heard that extremely polite voice, his scalp numbed as he pulled Wei Wei to the side. âWhatâs going on here?â
âWhatâs going on?â Wei Wei said âohâ then smiled in reply. âHe also only found out today that you guys knew each other before. But donât worry, Elder Huan, this desk-mate of mineâs mouth is very tightly sealed. He wonât disclose news of your living at the academy to others.â
Huan Ming Xuan anxiously said. âWhat Iâm asking isnât this. Iâm asking is this really your desk-mate?â
âOf course.â Wei Wei felt itâs humorous as she responded. âIs my having a desk-mate so weird to Elder Huan?â
Huan Ming Xiangâs fingers paused. âIn other words, heâs also at the Inferior Compound?â
âMm hm.â Wei Weiâs thin lips curved. âElder Huan, youâre acting strange today.â
Elder Huan seemed to have become aware of where the problem was as he looked at the girlâs pair of smiling eyes. His eyebrows jumped as he said. âYou donât know that he...â
âElder Huan.â Huan Ming Xiang hadnât finished speaking when he was interrupted by a poised and demonically cold voice.
Baili Jia Jue looked at him with a smile that was not a smile and unhurriedly set aside the teacup in his hand, his body leaning halfway. âI heard Wei Wei say that you wanted to guide me regarding martial qi. Being able to obtain your guidance is a great honor for me.â
Right now, Huan Ming Xiangâs heart thereâs an indescribable feeling, a little like heâs eating an apple when half way through, he ate a worm, unable to continue, unable to stop, and started choking in panic!
How to get rid of this icy fellow!
Seeing him, it seemed he was really getting indigestion!
âThereâs not much time, how about we train while we talk.â Baili Jia Jue strolled to Huan Ming Xiangâs side and smiled evilly. âI just happened to have something I need to personally discuss with Elder Huan.â
Huan Ming Xiang extended his neck an blurted out. âThereâs nothing good to talk about between me and you.â
âHow has this younger one offended Elder Huan?â Baili Jia Jue raised his nice-looking eyebrows, and appeared as if he was utterly broken hearted. âI can change. If that still wonât work, I can also ask grandpa to come to the academy to meet with Elder Huan.â
Hearing the word âgrandpaâ, Huan Ming Xiangâs movements abruptly froze as he turned his head around and responded to Baili Jia jue. âCome with me!â
âYes.â Baili Jia Jueâs characteristic timbre, when he spoke, always gave people a sense of indifference, seemed very half-hearted.
Wei Wei watched the two people moving towards the large courtyard to train, her long slender eyebrows rose, after which she smiled. The more Elder Huan liked a person, the more anxious he became.
It seemed that this desk-mate of hers suits Elder Huanâs taste very much.
Wei Weiâs frame of mind relaxed and lazily leaned backwards. She didnât care that the teacup had been used by someone else as she took it and drank a few sips. Afterwards, she fetched a few pieces of armament components that she carried around in her pockets and started to assemble them and didnât pay any more attention to what happened over at the large courtyard...
