Ah, truly an intelligent young lady.
Jing Wu Shuang looked up, within the depths of the always gentle eyes, a light quickly streaked across.
Helian Wei Wei jumped down from the carriage.
Suddenly, there was a person who came out from the carriage like that, and it scared the living daylights out of the servant who was driving the horse carriage.
When Uncle Liang turned his head around, he only saw that young lady’s safe and sound appearance. Her looks were delicate and pretty. A cascade of long, curly, dark black hair hung down directly to her waist, so beautiful that it made people unable to bear looking away.
He hurriedly pulled on the reins, his old face full of shock. “Young Master, just now…” The person who Third Prince had been looking for, couldn’t be her, could it? !
His master clearly knew, yet still hid the person in his horse carriage? !
This…if this was discovered by Third Prince…
Uncle Liang perspired a layer of cold sweat, even if their family was as prominent as it was, they still needed to give the imperial family some face, sigh, yet the young master truly was not afraid of anything.
However, this young lady was also really good at hiding. They’ve travelled such a long way get surprisingly, he wasn’t even able to sense that anything was out of place at all!
“Uncle Liang.” Jing Wu Shuang’s voice gently interrupted him. His pair of eyes was clear and limpid, yet as deep and serene as the ocean, suffused faintly with blue, the kind that seemed as if people would willingly drown to death in them.
Carrying on, the corners of his mouth curved into a gentle arc as he extended his jade like fingers and picked up the silvers that Wei Wei placed on the tabletop. “A person who can have Third Prince search for an entire day and night, yet still fail to find, how many have you seen?”
Uncle Liang became dazed. With respect to Third Prince’s famous reputation, he’d heard of it long ago. Even if he’d lost his qi, still, no one dared to go challenge his anger.
No matter how unbridled the four great clans were, in the end, when faced with him, even if they weren’t willing, they still had to restrain their own blazes (aggression).
One can well imagine the extent of His Highness’ methods.
Yet, without exception, no one was capable of standing in the way of the things that he wanted to do. That’s the same even for Retired Emperor.
Something like today, having no success finding someone even after having looked for an entire day…
“One.” Uncle Liang rummaged through his own memories, before he came up with the answer. “This old servant has only seen one person like that.” Not only that, the other party was even a young girl!
Jing Wu Shuang put away the silvers in the palm of his hand, faintly smiling. “It appears that the Helian family’s good-for-nothing is not at all as useless as the rumors claimed.”
“The one just now is Helian family’s good-for-nothing daughter?” Uncle Liang’s mouth instantly gaped open. “How, how’s that possible?” Wasn’t it said that the Helian family’s eldest daughter was coarse and crude, with dark skin, unrestrained manners and vulgar bearing, and not even as good as a country bumpkin. That’s why the Murong family’s young lord couldn’t help but break the engagement. But the young lady he saw just now, even though it was merely a glimpse, but he could still see the side of the other person’s face. That absolutely was a beauty in the bud, oh my!
Jing Wu Shuang moved his hand and placed it by the side of his mouth, coughed a couple of times before opening his mouth, in a tone that spoke of a matter that already was of no concern to him. “Nothing is impossible. The gossip spread between the marketplaces were originally merely leisure time chit chat and idle rumors among the common people. Let’s just hurry on our journey.”
“Yes!” After quite a while, Uncle Liang finally regained his focus. He raised his whip as he pensively recalled carefully. This was yet the first time that Young Master took the initiative to help someone.
Could it be simply because that Helian family’s eldest daughter was still not caught by Third Prince?
Uncle Liang was unable to guess his master’s thoughts.
On the same note, Eunuch Sun also couldn’t guess His Highness’ thoughts.
It’ll quickly already be a night and two days that His Highness hadn’t closed his eyes for any length of time. Wasn’t handling matters in this fashion way too hard on oneself.
Those shadow guards outside already withdrew, but it’s very clear that His Highness hadn’t given up on capturing Miss Helian.
One look at Grandmaster’s blue-green face and one could figure out what had transpired.
“Humph! You don’t need to count on it, that I would tell you my dear disciple’s whereabouts!”
Eunuch Sun raised his head, and gazed at the tiles on the ceiling. My dear mother, that sentence had already been repeated by Grandmaster no less than three times.
Baili Jia Jue didn’t even spare a glance at him, and only leisurely drank his tea as he fiddled with the top-rate armament component in his hand. These treasured objects could only be found at the Ghost Palace, and were sufficient to make all of the world’s armament masters’ hearts itch for them.
Grandmaster covetously licked the corners of his mouth as he considered. “I say, Ice Fellow, why do you insist on looking for my dear disciple. All she did was not cooperate with you in putting on that play, right? Yet you go so far as being so ruthless.”
Baili Jia Jue didn’t say anything and only half propped up his lower jaw as he arrogantly looked down at Grandmaster, who was tied up like a trussed meat roast. The light in his eyes was more elevated and cold that at any other time.
If it weren’t for the fire qilin knowing that currently, its master basically could not see anything at all, it would’ve thought that what master was doing was exerting pressure against Grandmaster.
Indeed, Grandmaster could also feel the pressure. However, on behalf of his dear disciple, he must stand firm!
Just at the time when Grandmaster planned to gallantly die a martyr for his disciple’s sake, Baili Jia Jue’s indifferent voice slowly transmitted over. “Even if you don’t speak, I can still investigate and find out where she’s gone.”
Grandmaster blanked out, what did this mean?
“Have Nangong Lie come over here.” Baili Jia Jue casually ordered the servant leaning to one side.
Grandmaster blew on his beard. Shoot, it’s finished; it’s the end. The sacrificial priest’ divinations were most accurate when it comes to run-of-the-mill situations.
Even though Nangong Lie wouldn’t be able to divine his disciple’s exact position,
However, he could predict the direction and any relevant events.
At that time, based on this Ice Fellow’s brains, he’d certainly be able to very quickly figure out where his dear disciple had gone!
Shadow lowered his eyes and glanced at the slightly irritated Grandmaster, then spoke. “Your Highness, I’m afraid the matter of finding Miss Helian needs to be placed on hold. People from the four great clans have all arrived. They are currently at the palace’s main hall. This is somewhat in regards to what had happened at White Academy. They wanted to question Your Highness about it.”
The timing’s impressive! This timing was not bad at all, haha!
Grandmaster stood up and was going to speak on behalf of Baili Jia Jue.
When he saw that person carelessly brush a corner of his robe, whose eyes didn’t blink as he stepped into a stroll, while a breeze blew at his long sleeves, swirling up a trace of vicious currents.
The fire qilin shook its head. These humans were really dumb, stubbornly picking a time when master was unhappy to come out and pounce…
Bang!
As the sound of the wind thundered, doors and windows slammed close.
Precious marble framed the luxuriousness inside the palace. Each of the leaders of the four great clans were attired in incomparably pure and rich robes, and swelled with a steady flow of martial qi from head to toe. Behind them stood each family’s successor. Murong Chang Feng was also among them. His handsome face seemed as if it carried a sense of superiority that had never been there before.
Each time the four great clans’ leaders came into the imperial palace, they undoubtedly would raise many, many proposals.
The emperor coveted beauties, and was easily influenced by slanderous news. The only thing worth rejoicing was that the master within the imperial palace simply wasn’t him and instead was Retired Emperor.
“Since ancient times, White Academy had been a place that paid the most careful attention to maintaining its peacefulness. How could shadow guards be dispatched to such a place. This clearly was a taboo of the academy!”
“White Academy’s taboo is to prohibit the use of authority to harm students. His Highness didn’t injure anyone at all!”
Sounds of intense debate echoed beneath the dome, as both sides argued like thorns and fire.
Yet, the involved person, Third Prince Baili Jia Jue, simply sat on his designated seat. That enigmatic face inclined to one side, as his right hand supported his chin and seemed preoccupied with something…
