“I say, that so-called princess must be jealous, right?”

Someone laughed, and intimately pinched Helian Jiao Er’s face, “You tell me, being born with such a good appearance, all the women in the world are not better than you.”

“Aunt Chen, you are making fun of Jiao Er again.” Helian Jiao Er lowered her eyes bashfully, but the corners of her mouth betrayed a triumphant look.

The servant girl who stood at Helian Jiao Er’s side spoke unreservedly, “Miss, you are too kind, too modest. You obviously look the most beautiful.”

But unexpectedly, when she just finished speaking, a person was walking towards her. That person looked as if she just awoken from sleep.

Her left hand that looked like verdant jade hold a bamboo umbrella. Under the umbrella, she was draped in a red feather robe. That person, who looked like she was carved from jade, walked in a languid fashion, hardly paying any attention that her long calves were exposed. The long satiny hair was untied and let loose on both sides of her head. The hair was jet black and curled. The snow-white oval face was without makeup. Her pale lips very elegant, at the corner of her lip, there was a dot of mole.

The robe showed off her snowy white skin. The luminous eyes were slender and graceful, with the corners of her eye slanting upward. The silky curled hair was tucked behind the ears. Her lip corners formed a charming smile that penetrated one’s soul. The lazily draped red robe made her even more absolutely stunning.

She wore a men’s robe. But because the person wearing it looked too unconcerned, it had an immortal, out of the mundane world aura that let people knew at a glance that this person was indeed a woman.

At that very moment, almost everybody present let out a sigh.

Their eyes did not move but stared straight at the goddess who appeared out of thin air. Unparalleled surprise was written on their faces.

That person did not notice the gazes from people surrounding her. She held the folded umbrella with an unconcerned attitude.

Helian Jiao Er clasped both her hands. This unexpected guest got everybody’s attention, naturally, it didn’t make her elated. She felt even more awful after she saw that person’s face distinctly.

“Isn’t she that country bumpkin?” the servant girl blurted out, which made Madam Su raised her eyebrows and looked over.

“What country bumpkin?” Madam Su looked at the figure in the distance and felt mysteriously familiar. But when they were in the capital long ago, she did not know any young girl like this person, who was also of similar age as her beloved daughter.

When the servant girl saw that her young miss did not speak, she began to say: “The rumored goddess in the capital a while ago.”

Madam Su was in the Defense Division at that time, so naturally, she had heard of this rumor.

However, she did not take this matter to heart before.

After all, Jiao Er was meticulously cultivated from an early age by her. Whether hair cream or rouge, all were made of ready-made pearl powder. It was to make her grow up to become an unmatched beauty.

She had been many times in the palace and had seen many grown-up daughters, nobody was as outstanding as her Jiao Er.

She naturally would not trust the circulating rumors in the marketplace.

But now, apparently, there was something that she did not know in this capital.

Madam Su wrinkled her slender and elegant eyebrows. She felt that this matter was beyond her control and was very unhappy. But even more so, she also knew that this type of thing, however, she would say would only make her beloved daughter not better when compared to that person.

“Young girls nowadays don’t know the rules. Wearing that kind of clothes, when all is said and done, where does she come from? Later, when you see this kind of person, take your miss away, do you understand?”. Even though Madam Su seemed to instruct the servant girl, in fact, she wanted to convey that the woman earlier was of unknown origin and could not be compared to her Jiao Er.

Everyone heard that comment and parroted one after another, “Precisely, those not knowing and not understanding the world would be bewitched.”

“Besides, Jiao Er is more…” that person originally wanted to say “good looking”, but after thinking that this way of speaking was too fake, he changed it to two words, “fresh and pure.”

Helian Jiao Er still showed a smiling face, but her heart had now completely lost the previous good mood. She waited until all the people were gone and dragged the servant girl in, “Go and make inquiries for me. Who on earth is that person? Why is she here? Moreover, she wore a pretty nice looking robe.”

“Yes.” The servant girl answered while trembling all over. Not for anything else as Helian Jiao Er’s face had distorted. Nobody in the capital had ever seen the true appearance of the first talented woman in the capital. Only the maid knew that even though her mistress was lovely, but when her expression turned sinister, she was really scary She immediately replied: “This slave will immediately follow that person!”

“Wait.” Helian Jiao Er called the girl to come back, “Go ask her what she’s doing. If she’s just an insignificant wench from the red light district, give her a piece of silver and make her move far away from the capital.”

Helian Jiao Er had long been viewed as the center of the universe, thus she could not tolerate anyone who was more beautiful than her.

When Helian Jiao Er first saw this person, she did not sense any threat at all, because at that time that girl’s dress was covered in filth, she only relied on her looks and skin.

Now, He Lian Jiao Er felt acutely that she fell short by a large margin in front of that person.

This wouldn’t do. She had to make her disappear!

…Or…

“Before she leaves, make her tell you the secret of her beautiful fair skin.” Helian Jiao Er’s eyes carried malicious intentions. “Go and ask her what’s her regular diet and what does it comprise of.”

The servant girl cautiously asked, “What.. if she would not say?”

“Then tell her who’s the one giving her the money.” Helian Jiao Er lifted her chin and smiled frostily, “It is an easy thing for the Defense Division when they want a person to disappear silently from this world.”

A cold chill ran down her back and the servant girl hurriedly conceded, “Yes.”

The servant girl hastily dashed in the direction of Helian Wei Wei’s departure.

One must say, Helian Jiao Er’s destruction was ruined solely by her own pride. If it wasn’t for her initial own arrogance and vanity, she wouldn’t have had her attention set on Helian Wei Wei and would have recognized the umbrella in Helian Wei Wei’s hand.

It was because, it wasn’t just any ordinary umbrella – it was precisely that very umbrella that Helian Wei Wei won back at the armament competition.

It’s just that, to make it more practical, she had made a few adjustments to it and added some functions which no other armaments possesed.

Stealth.

As long as the right temperature is reached and the optimum wind direction is achieved and combined.

This umbrella can automatically create a false airflow and hide the person who’s holding it.

However, there was not much change in its appearance, that’s why Helian Jiao Er had been too careless this time. It was because in her heart, Helian Wei Wei would always be the ugliest girl out of all the ugly girls.

Helian Wei Wei had initially thought of changing her clothes first and head back to the academy to look for those two guys and bring them to see the armament auction.

As a result, she had just turned into a corner and found that there was still a small tail that had not been shaken off.

It’s just that this small tail was obviously way inferior to the previous ones. It did not even know how to hide the breath.

Helian Wei Wei leaned to the side and turned abruptly…
