Chapter 106: Reject His Highness

“Oh? How’s it related to me?” Helian Jiao Er sarcastically laughed. It was clear her mood wasn’t that great.

That personal maid’s neck contracted and fawningly maintained a smile. “That Young Master Wu Shuang likes music. He very seldom praised anyone. That day at the armament store, when someone mentioned that My Lady’s’ zither skills were exceptionally good, he also followed after with some comments. Each sentence was in praise of My Lady.” While the maid was speaking, she was also looking up to assess how Helian Jiao Er appeared. Seeing that the corners of her mouth finally had a smiling expression, the maid’s words became even more energetic. “It’s clear that Young Master Wu Shuang has already taken note of My Lady for a long time, merely…suffered from not having an opportunity to make your acquaintance, that’s all.”

After Helian Jiao Er heard, she took the handkerchief and covered up the smile which arose again and again on those vermillion colored lips. The indifferent expression in her voice actually didn’t change. “Fine, I got it, but you shouldn’t say these things to other people, so as to avoid causing some problems.”

“This servant understands.” That maid bent over and faced backwards to wipe off some cold sweat.

Wei Wei was just standing in front of them, watching a peddler arranging the outer row of wooden combs when she ran into Helian Jiao Er completely by accident.

Her first reaction was to lower her head and look at the hair ornaments, pretending to be a shopping passer-by. After she was finished listening to useful news, she took the things she wanted to buy, and just casually threw a tael of silver to that peddler.

As she brushed past though, that face of hers made it difficult for people not to notice.

Helian Jiao Er looked as if she was stunned for a bit. She probably had never seen a person who was even more beautiful than she was. Her first reaction was to turn her head around and again, take a second look.

However, she was only able to see that lady’s rear view in time.

Her body was covered in plain clothes made of coarse fabric, and her entire body, from top to bottom, emitted a destitute and pedantic aura which caused a person to feel disdain. She was but a commoner,

Helian Jiao Er disdainfully thought. As she was about to turn her head around, she saw that the surrounding people, one after another, actually drew their breaths, their eyes focused at the distance. None of their gazes fell on her at all, even her own personal maid looked like she was dumbstruck.

This made the anger in Helian Jiao Er’s heart bubbled up all at once, as she extended her hand and pinched her maid’s arm. Her sharp, dark red colored fingernails ferociously pierced inward. “Was that person just now very good-looking? Hm?”

Only then did that maid reacted and wondered what wrong she had committed. The blood on her face drained in a flash and her mind was in a mess.

One of her Young Miss’ taboo was having someone be more beautiful than her.

In front of her master, she also could not show off the tiniest bit of prettiness!

Consequently, that servant girl immediately shook her head and endured the pain as she replied. “Can be said to be good-looking, however, when compared to My Lady, she’s merely a clump of mud under your foot, without the slightest bit of character worth mentioning.”

“This servant girl, contrary to what I’d expected, you actually know how to talk.” Helian Jiao Er released her hand, and again glanced back while saying in a cold voice. “She dared to be mentioned on equal terms with me based on that kind of clothes, ridiculous!”

Having heard that, the servant girl hurriedly agreed. “Right. What My Lady said is right. An appearance like hers is not even worthy of carrying My Lady’s shoes.”

“That’s enough. I’m fed up from hearing praises like yours.” Helian Jiao Er’s tone was cold as she blew on her own fingertips. The light in her eyes became gloomier as she said, “First return to the academy. Prior to leaving, I want to think of a way to prevent that slut from returning to the academy.”

She really didn’t know where Wei Wei had disappeared to, but she could make it so that once she left, she’d have no way of returning!

Helian Jiao Er smiled faintly as she dropped her head. The poisonous thoughts within the depths of her eyes were more terrifying than they were at any other time…

However, who in the world was that girl who just passed by? If a country bumpkin, then how could she have such fair and crystal clear skin?

Every time that early summer arrived, what she expended the most effort on was precisely on how she could prevent herself from being tanned. She only used the best pearl powders and sandalwood, in order to protect the appearance she currently had.

But that country bumpkin looked as if, compared to her, she was clearly even more…

Helian Jiao Er gripped the handkerchief in her hand, and after that, coldly laughed in her mind. Even if that appearance was even more stunning, so what, her family background was still not good. Even if she got married, she could be nothing more than a concubine trash.

Thinking this way, Helian Jiao Er’s mind then regained its equilibrium. The face of the palm of her hand then regained its former daintiness. With a muslin head covering worn over her face, finally, she was supported by her servant girl’s arm into the soft sedan chair.

However, she didn’t know at all that the person she wanted to scheme against was none other than the country bumpkin who had just passed her by…

“Isn’t it great, this time, that younger sister of yours is also going to participate in the armament convention. I wonder what kind of shady move she’s going to make at that time.” The tone of Yuan Ming’s voice was always dense with an attitude of someone watching a good show. It probably had something to do with his identity. A devil’s emissary liked to cause a bit of chaos to appear to begin with. What’s more, this kind of ‘delectable’ chaos that was delivered to the doorstep, was something he liked even more.

The white cat appeared quietly cold all along, as if it was contemplating something while gazing at the not too distant crowd of people. Its voice was faint. “Wei Wei you can’t let that girl obtain that armament.”

Yuan Ming lazily glanced at it. “It’s nothing more than an armament.”

“You don’t understand.” The white cat totally proudly raised its chin up. “That’s not an ordinary armament. When I was in Spirit Forest, I heard my imperial father and empress mother talking about it before. Everybody thought that the best material for making armaments in this magical land ought to be found within Spirit Forest, however, many years ago, these materials were secretly moved to another place. That place is exactly the place that Young Master Wu Shuang was born in, Sun City. Generally speaking, the materials which haven’t been formed into armaments will give off an intriguing kind of magnetic force. This is also the reason why armaments are different from ordinary weapons. Spirit beasts like us are not affected, however, if humans were to be in contact with those materials, then they will certainly suffer some degree of harm from them. That Young Master Wu Shuang’s health is not good. I reckon this must be because he stayed together with these materials since childhood. The armament that he currently is making is probably going to be his last one. It can be said to be perfection within perfection. Not only the materials used, even the appearance, function and performance, makes it the best magic weapon in this entire Divine Continent. A person who possesses it, is going to have the power to split mountains!”

After Yuan Ming heard that, that handsome, demonically charming face also became contemplative

Yet Wei Wei only smiled, neither in a servile nor overbearing fashion. “That armament and the Wing of the Night God that I made last time, which one is better.”

The white cat distractedly replied. “About the same.” Paused a bit, then added, “You already gave Wing of the Night God away. It’s meaningless to compare them.”

“I just wanted to know between me and that Young Master Wu Shuang, who’s better.” Wei Wei arched her thin lips, within her slender and long eyes a trace of light shined. “I won’t allow anyone to steal my business at the armament convention.”

The corners of the white cat’s mouth twitched a bit. “In the end, it’s still all about money for you!”

“Of course it’s about money.” Wei Wei looked at the white cat with an even more innocent expression and sighed. “If it weren’t for money, would I go as far as to struggle so much disguising myself, hiding east, taking cover west. In addition, resisting Third Prince’s charms and attraction took a lot of guts, too.”
