Helian Wei Wei touched the bridge of her nose and walked out: “It’s me.”

“Gold Lord?” Through the white cloth, Baili Jiajue’s eyes looked clean and harmless, jade-like and prestigious.

Helian Wei Wei was helpless: “I told you not to call me by that name. What were you talking to the servant about earlier. You were so secretive.”

“There might be something going on at home tomorrow, so I allowed him to go back.” Baili Jiajue’s voice was faint.

When Helian Wei Wei had enrolled in the academy, she knew that he was in the same position as her, family power usurped by others, so she did not continue to question him further, it was just: “If he has gone, then how about you? Your eyes haven’t fully recovered, have they?”

“I don’t know.” Baili Jiajue bowed his head slightly, and he looked a bit arrogant then: “I will probably have to stay in the academy by myself for a whole day.”

Pretense, His Highness was definitely pretending! Shadow lifted his head and looked at the sky. Helian Wei Wei looked at her table and thought about it: ” Why don’t you come down the mountain with me?”

“Will I be of trouble to you?” Baili Jiajue knew the exact moment to show courtesy.

Shadow: “… ” [Your Highness, that is enough! You know that her Highness wants to go to collect her contestant card, that is why you have waited here just so that she will take you with her.]

However, such display of courtesy only made Helian Wei Wei feel like she wanted to bring his along even more: “Of course not. After all, I was only going down the mountains to collect my contestant card.”

“Okay.” Baili Jiajue smiled and glanced at his own hand, his voice pleasant and nice: “It’s just that I can’t see right now, so it is inconvenient for me when I walk.”

Helian Wei Wei was quick to respond, and upon hearing what he said, had walked over immediately held his hand. He walked forward without looking back, he looked handsome and well. Baili Jiajue paused for a moment, and his lips curved into a smile which also meant “Cunning plan succeeded”.

The light of dusk shined on them creating two long shadows. The students that came and went through the academy could see this. Just by the bluestone of the slope where one would descend from the mountain, the wind blew and white flowers fell to the ground. A girl with dark skin held the hand of a young man so handsome that heaven would eclipse. Their white and green robes entangled slightly, they look settled for a thousand years.

Helian Wei Wei collected her contestant card from the commoners side, and did not see any familiar faces, just the young men and women who were selected from all parts of the country.

Nobody knew anyone, so there was no surprise as to why Helian Wei Wei had appeared here. Helian Wei Wei was able to collect her contestant card with no obstacles. It was just that the the face of the one from the same table was too eye-catching. He had attracted a crowd of people just being stood there.

“Right, why aren’t you entering the marital qi competition?” Helian Wei Wei seemed to have thought of something. She looked sideways at the one at the same table with faint doubt in her eyes.

Baili Jiajue looked deep in thought: “My eyes are hurt, so I can’t enter the competition.”

If Helian Wei Wei knew his true identity then she would know that he was lying. The Helian Wei Wei now only thought that he had wanted to enter the competition to make a name for himself but was unfortunate to have hurt his eyes. Suddenly, there was a deep feeling of mutual acceptance, no more words were spoken and they held hands and continued walking forwards. She did not notice the small black mark that had surfaced by the side of Baili Jiajue’s lips.

He had already said, the prey he set his eyes on had a fatal weakness. A sturdy fox has claws that are hard, but claw pads are. As long as you mastered the method, you can do anything you want with it. She is the same…

The night was getting later. As they continued on forwards, there was no one on the road leading up to the mountain.

Helian Wei Wei sang a song, her voice was clear and the lyrics were deep, it was lovely to hear: “You know, I always remember you when you were 15 years old who was so unhappy and crying. I want to hold you in my arms. Unaware of my own shape, colliding with the world, all the hurt, I finally healed you…. One day I will grow old, I hope that you will be satisfied that I did right by that 15 year old you…..”

Baili Jiajue held back the icy air from his face, tilted his head and listened quietly, hidden under the white cloth, a white light flashed across his eyes. Because he could not see, he listened carefully. He had never heard this kind of lyrics and tune. Even from the musicians in the palace or other countries, no one had ever heard it before.

Then….

Helian Wei Wei, where did you learn these things from? Baili Jiajue tightened the grip of his left hand.

“What?” Helian Wei Wei looked back and raised an eyebrow.

Baili Jiajue replied slowly: “Nothing, the song that you were singing was very nice.”

Helian Wei Wei was shocked , she smiled: “I was just singing a few words, it isn’t really a song. I heard someone else sing it and thought that it was very nice.”

Vigilant at all times, this was Helian Wei Wei. If it was anyone else, they might have been fooled by her words. But she did not know that the person standing in front of her was unscrupulous and scheming in so many ways, these words could not fool him.

“Is that so?” Baili Jiajue pursed his lips looking thoughtful.

Helian Wei Wei wanted to say something.

Suddenly, her ear bones moved and reached out her hand nimbly, whilst she held on to Baili Jiajue, the other hand opened up her umbrella. In a flash of a moment, the hidden weapons fell out. Helian Wei Wei felt an unprecedented sense of oppression and wanted to use all her martial qi to summon Yuan Xiao Ming but realised there was another charming figure behind her.

“Careful!” Baili Jiajue stretched his hand out to block, but without martial qi, it left him bleeding across his arm.

Hehehehehe

A sinister laugh rang through the night, like the sultry numbness when a snake slithered through the blades of grass, accompanied by the occasional hooting of the owl, which made you shiver and the hair on your skin stand up when you listened to this in the middle of the night.

Helian Wei Wei was on her side. Because she held onto someone’s hand, she was unable to use her marital qi. This was her only weakness at this point in time. When starting the martial qi, she must be alone. But now, this weakness had proved to be fatal.

“It is just a young girl and boy, are they even worth our shot.”

The shadows of the trees moved and a person with sallow skin and hollow cheeks appeared through the air. Although not his looks was not too bad, the look in his eyes was sinister and made it uncomfortable to look at, especially when he revealed the sharp fingers from under his long black robe. Helian Wei Wei furrowed her eyebrows deeply.

Moreover, there was more than one person!
