Helian Wei Wei saw Eunuch Sun continuously looking at her deskmate and did not answer her. She raised her eyebrows, “Eunuch Sun, do you have any problem?”
“Oh?” Eunuch Sun came to his senses.
Baili Jia Jue took a glimpse at him. His voice faintly repeated, “I have troubled Eunuch Sun.”
Eunuch Sun looked as if he was choked. He coughed severely, “No, cough, no! Eldest, Eldest Miss, please be at ease. This old slave would definitely make proper arrangements for your friend.”
“That’s good then. ” Helian Wei Wei put everything in order, turned around and went downstairs. Right away, she took a set of men’s clothing.
In the mysterious spatial space, Yuan Ming smiled wickedly, “What’s wrong? Do you want to change your outfit?
“It’s inconvenient to fight in a skirt.” Helian Wei Wei’s long sleeves waved. She looked like an elegant and unconventional man, his appearance refined as jade.
She looked at her reflection in the mirror, smiled dashingly, then looked sideways and tidied up her collar.
Then she strolled leisurely and walked into the noisy crowd…
After watching the familiar figure disappear, Eunuch Sun dared to turn his head and look at his master, “Your Highness…”
Baili Jia Jue threw away the strip of cloth in his hand. His clean eyebrows became extremely cold in that instant, “Get the shopkeeper of the Phoenix Loft to come over.”
“Yes.” Eunuch Sun trembled. He knew that His Highness was really going to start a thorough investigation of the poisoning.
Baili Jia Jue fingers were slightly raised and the silver mask was covered, his white robe was flying in an arc: “Eighteen shadow guards, obey my order.”
“Your subordinate is here!”
Swish swish swish!
Eighteen dark shadow guards, their robes drooped down, fell on one knee,
Baili Jia Jue’s eyes were as cold as ice: “Go and check at ***, who is the old devil .”
“Yes!”
Those shadow guards dispersed at the same time.
Black feathers fell, only the silhouette of Baili Jia Jue’s back remained: fierce, evil, indifferent and ruthless.
The ministers looked at the Third Prince who entered the room unhurriedly. They were dumbstruck.
What’s going on here?
How come when Eunuch Sun just went out, he took the White Academy student with him, and then when he came back he was replaced with the Third Prince?
“Grandson came late.” The indifferent tone of Baili Jia Jue sounded a little lacking in sincerity, “I hope for atonement from Grandfather the Emperor .”
The Retired Emperor lightly coughed a few times and did not reveal his identity. He murmured, “Sit down, what’s the situation outside?”
“Everything is normal.” Baili Jia Jue paused and then commanded in a cold voice, “You can open the wooden window.”
The imperial guard obeyed the order. He quickly stood by the window and wielded the knives to guard, ensuring that the Retired Emperor and his entourage could continue to watch the tournament.
The difference between the martial qi tournament and other types of competitions was that the contestants selected from all over the country were usually lined up in secret. Their names were not announced, only their numbers were read aloud.
So not only the ordinary people, even the elders of the four influential families did not know that Helian Wei Wei became a candidate.
But there was one thing the four influential families had been looking for, they were also looking for talent in this tournament.
So from the very beginning, they waited for the legendary beggar to appear.
Because he once sent out the news that he would show up at the martial qi tournament.
So far, there have been no notable contestants appeared on the testing ground.
The rest of the stages had been quiet except for Helian Jiao Er, who won first place in a row.
It was not until the appearance of Helian Wei Wei who were garbed in men’s clothes that the judges slowly began to notice her. They muttered in their hearts that the man’s luck was a little better, and he had won three games in a row.
Originally, in a tournament, two wins in three games would lead to promotion.
But this man had never lost a game since the beginning.
And gradually.
Not only the judges but also the contestants who were waiting for their turn to play watched with rapt attention.
“Isn’t this impossible? He won again? It’s a total of six games. He has no flaws at all.”
“Who is this man? I’ve never seen him before.”
“How odd! I can’t sense the martial qi on him… Ah! I remember!”
Swish!
In the wake of Helian Wei Wei’s beautiful gliding legs, a man with a double hammer was kicked out of the stage in a parabolic curve.
One of the contestants below the arena shouted excitedly, “It’s him!”
“Who?”
“That’s the expert beggar who stirred up the four influential families!”
“What?”
“Look at his style, he had no martial qi and won by a surprise move. Who else can do it so well in the world and who else so difficult to deal with besides that expert?”
“It’s really him!”
The crowd rubbed their eyes and their faces were full of fervour at the sight of the legendary master. Their heart surging, their blood boiling!
This is the first time they were so close to a master!
Helian Wei Wei ignored the astonished gazes and adoration of the audience. She only smiled softly and stood upright, facing the already dumbfounded contestants with a slightly curled lips, “Who’s next?”
As the north wind whistled past, she stood on the wooden platform. Her each and every move was refined and indolent. Her slender figure was like jade, which suddenly brought about a sense of beauty like a splash-ink Chinese painting.
Some people have their own great charm, not widely known nor eye-catching, such as the snowflakes falling from the sky, cool and elegant nobility, silent, one of many flavours that stood out from the masses.
Eunuch Sun, standing on the high platform, stared at the people on the stage. He finally understood why His Highness had treated this woman differently.
Such an uproar naturally attracted the attention of a group of people from White Academy.
The young masters of the aristocratic family led by Murong Changfeng watched from a distance with great pleasure and immediately afterwards came over.
Even Murong Changfeng unconsciously took it seriously. If such a master can be used for his Murong palace, it would be like adding wings to the tiger.
“Good!” The Retired Emperor, whose spirit was already restored, stroked his beard and brought out a deep laugh: “He’s not bad.”
“Er… Yes. ” Eunuch Sun knew that the Retired Emperor’s had poor eyesight. What’s more, they were so far away that it was hard to see that the person he claimed as ‘not bad’ was the eldest lady of Helian’s family.
The Retired Emperor raised his eyebrows: “What’s wrong? You don’t think so?”
“No, no, no!” Eunuch Sun shook his head desperately at the indifferent eyes thrown by his master, and said to the Retired Emperor, “This old slave was foolish because he had never seen such a wonderful match before.”
The Retired Emperor nodded with satisfaction.
Only then did Baili Jia Jue took his eyes off Eunuch Sun and drank a cup of tea with an indifferent look.
“Jue Er, who is more powerful between you and this person?” At the sudden question from the Retired Emperor, all the ministers came to look at that side.
Baili Jia Jue absent-mindedly rotated the black jade ring on his finger, and his mouth was dyed with a slight demonic feeling, But when he wanted to speak, all of a sudden, a cry of surprise was heard from outside the window!
“Wait! How come the master’s rear view looks so familiar!”
