Utter silence!
A quietness thatâs unimaginable before!
Seemed as if breathing was stopped, everyone unable to say a single word!
As it turned out, this girl actually didnât fawn on Grandmaster Zi Zun to obtain her position. She truly already learned armaments from a long time ago.
And Grandmaster Zi Zun mustâve known of this, thatâs why he accepted her as his official disciple!
Wei Wei took part in the competition at Phoenix Tower, Helian Jiao Er also knew of it. Not only did she know of it, she even met that slut on the streets, but how could she have figured that the person who Master Tu Tian turned the entire capital upside down to find would be her!
Helian Jiao Erâs face burst into a green color, her fingers continuously clenched tightly. Damn her!
When the hell did this slut start to become so difficult to deal with!
How come she wasnât aware of anything at all!
Master Tu Tian certainly didnât care what other people were thinking as his eyes shined brightly while waiting for Wei Weiâs answer. âHow about it? Lass?â
âLetâs wait until the competition officially ends.â Tu Tianâs eyes were on Wei Wei. Wei Weiâs eyes, though, were on the pile of shiny silver. âAll of us from the Inferior Compound are poor, letâs wait until weâve received our money.â
Poor? After hearing this word, Hei Ze almost choked up the tea he was drinking. Based on what he knew, right now, their shopâs daily cash flow was no less than a hundred thousand taels of silver, as the boss, Wei Wei couldnât have not known?
âCough cough. Youâre right. I was just too excited and forgot about even such a thing.â Tu Tian smiled gently and lifted his head. âBased on the academyâs rule of two out of three duels, I declare that in the match between Superior Compound and the Inferior Compound, the Inferior Compound wins!â
Bang!
Master Bai finally couldnât brace himself any longer as his entire body plopped on his wood chair, dazed and beside himself. Where was there still the air of complacency he carried previously, he extended his hand to cover his own face as he watched Tusu Feng lead those students from the Inferior Compound towards the stage. As before, the principal was refined and graceful, an appearance of holding heaven and earth in the palm of his hand.
The one whoâs beaten miserably yet still refused to yield, Yuan Ling Xuanâs eyes were red through and through as he watched this scene, grinding his teeth with so much force they groaned. Thereâs no way heâs going to accept it. In spite of everything, they were crushed by the Inferior Compound so miserably that they completely lost all face!
âI refuse to accept it!â Yuan Ling Xuan stood up, when he looked towards Baili Jia Jue, he wished he could tear him to shreds on the spot. âI was merely jolted off of the stage, if this stage was bigger, I may not have necessarily lost!â
Baili Jia Jueâs footsteps didnât even pause, his face appeared emotionless, clearly expressing that he didnât care whether the other accepted it or not.
On the contrary, Nangong Lie by his side evilly smiled as he sighed and said. âBrother, look at the trouble youâve caused, I thought youâd beat up little Young Master Yuan so that he couldnât even crawl if he wanted to. Why did you have to go soft on him.â
Baili Jia Jue glanced back, his expression unenthusiastic. âLittle Young Master Yuan?â
âUh-huh?â Nangong Lie shrugged his shoulders.
Baili Jia Jueâs eyebrows rose. âWho is that.â
Yuan Ling Xuan:...your daddy had just finished dueling with you, and youâve already forgotten your daddy! ! !
Nangong Lie tried to hold in his laugh as he pointed at Yuan Ling Xuan, his facial expression completely contorted.
Baili Jia Jue uttered an âohâ and curved his lips into a smile thatâs not a smile. âDonât you think that someone like him, rather than kill him, itâs instead better to leave him alive. That remembering all the time how it feels to lose would give him more pain?
Heâs saying that from beginning to end, he was sparing him? ! Yuan Ling Xuan became thoroughly enraged, and wanted to rush on stage, yet was stopped by the students next to him!
âYoung Master Yuan, you should calm down, if at this time you cause a disturbance, based on the academyâs regulations, the principal would punish you!â
Yuan Ling Xuan was so angry, his face became deformed, opening his mouth to pant air, as if trying very hard to suppress the fury raging inside himself.
Wei Wei watched that face of his, and immediately felt that her deskmate was right. For this kind of person, losing to someone he looked down upon was so much more difficult to take than being killed.
However...
Everything clearly had already concluded.
Yet her deskmate still revealed those facts to his opponent. This person was really sinister, too sinister.
Wei Wei glanced sideways at Baili Jia Jueâs flawless face, the light in her eyes gave away her intent to probe.
Baili Jia Jue naturally sensed her scrutiny, when he returned her gaze, the corners of his mouth already rose into a smile that could pacify all living things in the world, pure, just like an angel. âWhatâs up?â
âNothing.â Maybe sheâs overthinking things, Wei Wei smiled softly. âAccept the prize, after we received the prize money, letâs go out for a drink!â
Baili JIa Jue replied âsureâ, eyes as dark as black ink quietly extended his line of sight into the distance, a neither deep nor shallow, just a vague smiling expression floated on the corners of his mouth, both light and dark with a vestige of sorrow that couldnât be expressed.
Drink?
Thatâs right.
Drinking more could provide an opportunity for him to do a little something, ah...
The intra-academy competition finally concluded, and it was the first time that the Inferior Compound seized a victory within hundreds of years.
And even though the Superior Compound wasnât willing, they still could only come in second.
The matter of Helian Jiao Er, Murong Chang Feng and company entering the Battle Spirit Forces was also dropped. There was no possible compromise for this.
Wei Wei took the winnings and went off the stage as her eyes levelly swept over the young girl who wanted to escape. âMiss Mu, apparently, youâve forgotten to do something.â
That young girlâs shoulders suddenly stiffened, slowly turned her head, and saw everyoneâs gaze cast in her direction. She was forced to have no other choice but to lift her arm.
Pow!
The sound of one slap, extremely clear.
Helian Jiao Erâs gaze turned, extended her hand to pull at Wei Weiâs sleeves in compassion. âOlder Sister, she merely spoke in haste for a time, and didnât commit some big crime. Is there a need for you to put her on the spot like this.â
âNot some big crime?â Wei Wei smiled, then very fiercely, very fiercely continued. âThen if I now insulted your mother, Madam Su, will you still feel that itâs no big crime?â
Helian Jiao Erâs fingers stopped.
Wei Wei said levelly. âHelian Jiao Er, go back and tell that good mother of yours, everything is only just getting started.â
Thatâs right.
The enmity of killing her mother, the pain of family forcibly taken away.
She still hasnât revenged!
Right now, what did the things sheâd done count for.
These had merely been the first step, thatâs all...
âYou, you...â Helian Jiao Er tightly clenched both hands, yet wasnât able to speak a single word to refute her, because there were some family matters which only they knew among themselves, and were simply not fit to speak of in broad daylight.
Wei Wei also didnât care how she responded, as she calmly straightened out her sleeves, looked at the other girlâs red cheek, and faintly smiled. âMiss Mu remember, I, Helian Wei Wei, has always not provoked anyone who didnât provoke me. Those who provoked me...will be eliminated completely!â
Not to mention, that year, if it wasnât for Grandscribe Muâs memorial to the emperor, how would mother have had to swallow back blood until her demise.
Donât think that because she was young, she couldnât remember anything. On the contrary, the younger she was, the more she remembered how these people finally dealt with her mother and daughter!
Just like what sheâd said, sheâs just getting started.
Next, bit by bit, sheâll seize back everything that shouldâve belonged to her!
