“Jiao Er understands mothers teachings, but that slut is just too arrogant!” Helian Jiao Er clasped her hands together, her face filled with scorn. “Just because she was born with a beautiful face,hmph… wait till I slash that old wrench’s face!”
Su Yanmo pulled her aside, looked around, pinched her and said: “Jiao Er, how many times has mother told you to pay attention to your manners, words and actions! You are the most beloved daughter in the Defence Division, a pearl in the palm of your father’s eyes, and the future Mistress of the East Palace. All eyes will be on you, trying to find any mistake you may make, and even more so now. You must remember, even if you are angry, you must not reveal your feelings in front of others. Do you understand?”
Helian Jiao Er knew that her anger was written all over her face, and although she was infuriated, she did not dare disobey her mother. She stroked the back of her Madam Su’s hand, plastered on a loveable expression on her face and said: ” Daughter understands.”
Madam Su stroked her daughter’s long hair, eyes shining brightly: ” You don’t have to be so jealous of that girls looks, she is after all just a village girl. We shall find out who she is tomorrow and ruin her.”
Not just scratching her face, but ruining her face. Even more ruthless that Helian Jiao Er.
“Mother is right, I will not make a din anymore.” Helian Jiao Er’s lips curved into a vicious smirk. She knew better than anyone else her mother’s methods, if her mother said to ruin someone, then there would be no saving that person.
However, the mother and daughter did not realise that as Helian Wei Wei said, just because you have money and power did not mean that you can control everything and everyone, there were always many variables in the world that could change situations. The true identity of Helian Wei Wei was one of these variables.
The sky was clear, not a cloud in sight, the wind blew gently, the emerald green cypress held the water drops, and the branches crumbled.. When the branch could not withstand the weight of the water droplets, it slightly weighed the branches down.
SNAP…
The dew hit her face. At this point in time, Helian Wei Wei had re-did her make up and changed into the uniform from the White Academy. She looked all around but could not find the two people she was looking for. Strange. Were they on vacation? Helian Wei Wei had returned without any success, but did not waste her time on this. When she saw that no one was in, she turned and left. Her quick entrance and exit left many to speculate what was going on.
“Look, she came back.”
“She must have left something behind to return at this time.”
“It looks like it. But these people are exaggerating, to actually call her ‘Boss’.”
“It is just the people from the inner court who have not seen the world, joining in the crowd to get in on some action. Some people have never been flattered in their life, so they do things like this on purpose, to pretend they are powerful and popular.”
When Helian Wei Wei saw the younger disciples, she stopped as she had wanted to give them two of the tickets that were in her hand. However, the ladies that had gathered together to practice Martial Qi looked at her in distaste, like as if she was trying to rise up in position, they looked down on her. After all they were all better than her.
This woman was progressing well in the martial qi studies, but it was no use as she did not come from a good family and did not have any martial qi on her body. Those people should have surrounded them not her, they need to open their eyes as she was just a country bumpkin!
Helian Wei Wei understood this was just jealousy in their hearts, she wrapped her arms across her bosom and smirked at them.
The person who was stood next to her was a straightforward person, Chen Yifeng born in a General’s army family, spoke with a reckless spirit: “Have you all finished? All you do is gossip about others all day long, do you not know how to do anything else? Based on this alone, you can’t compare to the big boss!”
” Yes yes yes, your boss is an influential man.” One of the people sneered. “Unlike everyone else in Martial Qi class who can’t even score a point, even the Helian Family have kicked her out of their family. She thinks just because she has some knowledge of martial qi, no one can defeat her. In the end, she revealed her true colours in the martial qi test. I don’t understand, she is also from the Defence Division, but Jiao Er is so compassionate and kind in comparison. Even when she was at the Profound Heaven auction, she did not make a scene. If your boss is so superior, then why doesn’t she also go to the auction and walk around?”
“Younger sister, what are you talking about? You are making the situation awkward for our lady. Even with all of her fortune, she will not be able to afford a seat on the last row at the auction. Don’t make things difficult for a poor student.”
All the noble ladies talked amongst themselves and waved their fans around with a sarcastic smile on each of their faces.
“All of you, shut up!” The more Chen Yifeng heard, the angrier he became. He was also versed in martial qi, and when he lost to Helian Wei Wei he accepted his defeat. In addition to martial qi, he also learnt the art of the spiritual mind, which not everyone can learn, let alone how difficult it was to buy all the materials needed.
The best thing about their boss was that even with ordinary materials, in her hands, it became a superior armament. Those snobby people did not understand this meant in the martial qi world. They had the cheek to ridicule Big Boss for having no money. If Big Boss had money, the armaments that she could make would have sold out.
“That’s impossible, Master Chen you want to fight with us for her?” Someone looked at him up and down:” Master Chen, don’t tell me you have feelings towards your boss, for example wanting to marry her.”
The chattering died down and turned into hoots of laughter. One of the ladies had laughed so much she was in tears, she pointed to Chen Yifeng and Helian Wei Wei and said ” Don’t joke about it, their skin colour is quite similar, who knows what their children will look like. I can’t imagine, it might be like a small charcoal brick.”
Chen Yifeng exploded with fury, with a look on his face like he was going to charge forwards for a good fight. Helian Wei Wei held on to his wrist, it did not seem like she had used a lot of force, but it made Chen Yifeng stop in his tracks to look back, astonishment showed in his eyes. He knew that his boss had talent, but lacked foundation and it must have been luck when she won the match when she first arrived at the Academy as Helian Mei had not shown her full potential.
Of course he was not sure what the test was like. After all, only the competitor themself would know what the test was like. At the time of the crystal ball test, his boss did not even have the ability to ignite the crystal ball. So how could it be that she had only held his wrist lightly, but he felt unprecedented force? This did not seem like the strength of someone without martial qi.
