However, was he so confident his opponent wouldn’t pull off a comeback on him?
Without waiting for the alloted time to end, he already turned in his answers to the teacher.
Sigh…
It’s still the same old words. This disciple of his was good in every way, except for a personality that’s too rushed and too arrogant, considering everyone to be beneath him.
Yet it’s also because Murong Chang Feng handed in his answers early that the audience became impatient, their voices loud boisterous.
“Lord Murong has won for sure, ha ha ha! Even until now, that girl haven’t even moved her writing brush!”
People finally noticed that Helian Wei Wei, standing by the side, indeed haven’t even moved her writing brush. Her fingers have only been agilely turning those armament components this way and that. Her thin lips almost seemed to be smiling, but also don’t know what she’s thinking.
The judges knitted their brows and gently reminded her. “There’s not much time left in this duel, hopefully, the competitor can move a bit faster. When time’s up and the plans haven’t been submitted, we’ll be forced to eliminate the competitor.”
She’s probably getting anxious now.
Wei Wei eventually picked up her writing brush, however, her long, shapely eyebrows knitted into a lump. That appearance appeared as if she felt this topic was too difficult.
Standing in the not so distant place to watch, Huan Ming Xiang let out a very, very long sigh. “This kind of them is really too difficult as far as a newbie to armaments is concerned.”
“Elder Guan also feel that this duel is Superior Compound’s win?” The human figure laughed lightly. “I reckon that this time, the Superior Compound will truly display their strength. However, the Inferior Compound’s people are also not bad, to be able to compete with the Superior Compound to this degree. Losing one duel also isn’t so humiliating.”
“There’s a fifth of the time left.” The master who’s judging watched the incense almost burn out, perspired cold sweat for Wei Wei’s sake.
As he watched Wei Wei’s appearance, almost as if she’s struggling with her writing brush.
The people in the audience already grinned. “What was I saying, she’s going to be humiliated for sure.”
“Someone who fawned on others in order to climb up then came to participate in an armaments competition, was a joke to begin with.”
“Sister Jiao Er, you should stop her.”
Helian Jiao Er gently and tenderly smiled. “How can I stop her. Older Sister usually likes this kind of situation.”
What she implied was that Wei Wei liked to be in the spotlight.
Those spectating young girls naturally also deciphered her meaning. One after another, they picked up their fans and covered the mockery on the corners of their mouths.
Little Seventh Prince adorably turned towards the southeast corner to take a glance and discovered that his Third Brother’s pair of eyes was hidden more deeply than at any other time.
Could it be that there’s a hidden move?
He seemed to have noticed the little person’s gaze.
Baili Jia Jue slowly looked up.
Little Seventh Prince’s entire body stiffened and his body immediately sat up straight, his round cute eyes very seriously fixed on the stage.
Hoo…why did he feel that the girl’s expression was particularly similar to the principal’s expression when he gave him more homework to do.
He also hated to write!
Especially when he had to write large paragraphs!
Merely thinking about it was enough for him to be terrified!
Could it be that the young girl also didn’t like writing that her speed was so slow?
Little Seventh Prince’s fiercely knitted the little brows on his bald head. Once the competition’s over, he’s going to properly get to know this young girl.
After all, to be able to find someone whose handwriting was worse than his at the academy simply was too difficult!
(Helian Wei Wei: …wanting to get to know her because of this kind of reason, she’ll surely have a hard time feeling happy about it, you know!)
The last bit of incense fell on the ground.
Bang!
When the incense was just about to extinguish, Wei Wei finally put down her brush.
Murong Chang Feng coldly glanced at her. “Luck’s not bad.” He thought that she’d certainly get eliminated from the competition and didn’t expect that she was able to make it in time.
However, even if this was so, she could only be a joke.
How much she was worth, was something he knew better than anyone else.
At Armament City last time, she was just a cat that ran blindly into a dead mouse.
This time, merely watching her write was enough to gather how difficult things were for her.
It’s even possible that the answers she’d submitted were all randomly put together.
Ah, a person like her, was indeed only suitable for pairing with that destitute and pedantic young guy.
It’s just that…Murong Chang Feng looked at the side of that face beneath the sunshine which looked like it stood in the light, his pair of hands clenched and he couldn’t keep himself from saying. “Helian Wei Wei, I’ll give you one last chance, if you turn back, I can consider our old affections, and allow you to lose less miserably.”
“Ha ha ha, girl, what am I hearing. This guy surprisingly used this kind of method to have you turn around.” Yuan Ming’s voice sounded from the Celestial Boundary Space, an evil light in his eyes. “How about it, do you want to become a noble’s wife that thousands focuses their attention on?”
Wei Wei indifferently retracted her gaze, and redirected it at Murong Chang Feng’s body. Her softly smiling countenance seemed to be be a response to Yuan Ming’s question, and also seemed to be speaking to Murong Chang Feng. “This simply is the best joke that I’ve heard, yet.”
Murong Chang Feng’s back abruptly stiffened, his handsome face also seemed gloomy for that split second.
The two people’s voices were very soft, other people didn’t know what they were saying at all and only saw them standing side by side. That kind of position actually somewhat hinted at some unclear attachments.
“That can’t be, this girl still can’t forget Lord Murong even now? There’s only a short waiting period, yet she’s rushing to talk to him. Truly, she’s really opening our eyes.” A young girl who’d always liked Murong Chang Feng very much coldly laughed, each word, each sentence clearly meant to look down upon Wei Wei.
People sitting by her side were also from the Superior Compound. They laughed lightheartedly. “I reckon she thinks she’ll lose for sure, so she’s looking to Lord Murong for comfort.”
“The young lord, won’t comfort a good-for-nothing.” The young girl blew on her red nails. “What’s clear is that she’s come to make herself a fool. When they announce the answers in a moment, we can watch her get humiliated!”
Hearing those comments, Nangong Lie pretended to sigh a long sigh as he leaned backwards and faced up, his two hands placed behind his head, his wicked thin lips intentionally or otherwise, spoke as he glanced at Baili Jia Jue. “Sigh, unforgettable old flames, old flames unforgettable, ahh. It seems that I’ll need to prepare to go onstage. Romance indeed can make a woman thoroughly lose her judgment, so much so she’s unable to differentiate between friends and foes. The captain clearly planned to throw the duel, Ah Jue, what do you say?”
Baili Jia Jue was somewhat absent-minded. As he turned his body slightly, a strange light streaked across the depths of his pupils, got caught in his rumination. Suddenly, his hands crossed and propped up his chin as the corners of his mouth slowly outlined an ice-cold smile. “I say, it’s best you shut up.”
After saying that, he stood up.
“Ah Jue, where are you going!” Nangong Lie became excited. Was he looking for a duel, because of fighting over a woman, and what not!
Baili Jia Jue glanced back, immediately draped on his long jacket. As before one could only sense his tall and straight back, and his strong, well-built musculature, that unadulterated and cold ancient aura, determined to sever all relations, was expressed on his body in a saturated fashion. Indeed, his gracefulness had been accumulated for years, as he slowly curved up his thin lips. His eyes focused on Wei Wei’s body radiated a demonically cold light…
