“Pass on the command.” Not taking notice of the fire qilin’s opinion, Baili Jia Jue dropped his eyes and bit by bit, grasped the coat in his hand tightly. “All imperial guards are to stop the search and remove the check point at the base of the mountain.”
Shadow stared blankly, having some difficulty believing as he asked, “Withdraw them all?” Just now, His Highness even seemed like he swore not to give up until he caught Miss Helian, how did he just become soft-hearted all of a sudden?
Within the next second, Shadow discovered that he was wrong, because His Highness simply didn’t become soft hearted. On the contrary, he changed to an even more ruthless method. “Assign a shadow to every area outside of the city wall and pull up the fishing net. Setting off arrows are prohibited. I want to capture her alive.”
His voice was very low, yet resolutely and absolutely did not tolerate skepticism.
Even though Shadow was excessively concerned about His Highness acting this way. Weren’t they making too big of a move, it would arouse the four great clans’ attention. However, he understood that His Highness had always conducted his affairs without evading whatever four great clans.
“Watch the city gates closely. If there were elderly, pregnant women, or anyone else whose movements were inconvenienced wanting to leave the city walls, you need to inspect them carefully. In addition, send people to trail Hei Ze.” Baili Jia Jue once more slowly raised his thin lips. He spoke so slowly that it made the ears of those people who were listening go totally numb. “As long as someone approaches him, catch them for me.”
He didn’t know why, but when Shadow heard these words, he intuitively started praying for that girl.
He believed that if Miss Helian was smart enough, then she shouldn’t go look for Hei family’s young master.
Because apparently, His Highness recently had always looked at the Hei family in an unfavorable manner…
At a time period during the very early morning. Wei Wei had just walked out of the forest, her entire body cutting a sorry figure as she breathed out one long breath. After that, she seriously and conscientiously looked herself up and down as she faced the heavens and yelled out with emotion. “I’m so beautiful!”
“Are you really talking about that body of yours covered in smelly mud from head to toe?” The white cat jumped to one side to shrink from her. “Still in the mood to make fun of yourself. Looks like you haven’t been driven insane by Third Prince yet.”
“He’s indeed so astute that he doesn’t seem to be human.” Wei Wei laughed. “That’s me, skin’s coarse and meat’s thick (she’s tough). If it has been anyone else, he would’ve already caused them to collapse completely. What do you think, I only refused to cooperate with him in angering Retired Emperor, you know. Was it necessary for him to send so many people filling up the courtyard just to capture me?”
Even though she really shouldn’t have joined hands with the empress to maneuver against him.
However, that Third Prince also didn’t need to be so determined, right?
Could it be because these second generation royal descendants’ need to be in control was much stronger?
Just couldn’t stand other people resisting him?
Wei Wei simply couldn’t figure it out and just stopped thinking about it.
On the other hand, Yuan Ming stroked his chin as a streak of light sparked within his eyes. “Clearly, everything was progressing very well. Why would the ancient spirit beast fire qilin appear there.” Merely coming out to take a stroll? No matter how he thought about it, that was impossible.
It wasn’t just Yuan Ming who had misgivings, even Wei Wei became alerted in regards to the fire qilin’s appearance.
“Somebody wanted to tame it.” The white cat’s cold voice briefly dispelled their misgivings. “During this period of time, there continually have been people who entered Spirit Forest precisely in order to find it. Or maybe it could be said that they wanted to force it to come out.”
Yuan Ming smiled demonically. “A fire qilin is certainly not so easy to tame.”
“That’s right.” The white cat turned its head around and looked at the road behind it. “That’s why those people again and again return empty-handed. Probably, the fire qilin was provoked to anger, so that’s why it set fire to White Academy.”
Wei Wei raised her eyebrows. “Still, everything’s just too coincidental, isn’t it? It didn’t set fire to any other place except for the Superior Compound.”
“Because the person who wanted to tame it lived within the Superior Compound.” The white cat lifted its head up and thoughtfully glanced at Wei Wei. “It’s none other than that young lord from Murong Prince’s Mansion, Murong Chang Feng.”
Hearing this name, Yuan Ming also subconsciously turned towards Wei Wei and looked over as he softly coughed a couple of times.
Wei Wei actually didn’t hold back either as she curled her lips with irritation. “How come it didn’t burn him, that scum of a man who’s unable to accomplish anything but liable to spoil everything.”
Having no way of learning what the facts were, Wei Wei already pushed all of the blame on Murong Chang Feng.
At once, from the bottom of her heart, she maintained that if it weren’t for Murong Chang Feng wanting to tame the fire qilin, the fire qilin wouldn’t have suddenly appeared among them at the Superior Compound, spoiling all of her plans.
In which case, she would have been carried by the winged beast beyond the city walls by now, instead of being in her current condition, deeply in trouble!
Sigh, she’d better devise a more realistic plan for leaving the city walls.
Based on her skills, going over the city walls should be no problem. However, it’s impossible for someone as smart as Third Prince to not have ordered people to lie in ambush all around the city walls in case she made any moves. Maybe she would then fall into the trap.
It looked like her best bet was still to go through the city gates.
However, there were no spirit beasts by her side. If she had Little White go back and gather them, it inevitably would go through White Academy.
At that time, maybe Third Prince would look for their tracks and follow the spirit beasts to find her.
It looked like she shouldn’t count on the spirit beasts.
Wei Wei finally conceded. If there was even the slightest bit of a possibility, she wouldn’t want to be Third Prince’s enemy…it’s too tiring!
Forget it. Right now what’s most important was to change her costume.
This appearance of hers would be recognized within a minute of leaving here.
First, she needed to give herself a disguise.
Wei Wei looked at her face reflected from the lake water. Creating a disguise wasn’t something difficult for her to do at all, but in order to create a disguise that didn’t leave any traces, she’d need to find a disguise that suited her own identity.
She always kept in mind that her adversary was Third Prince.
Therefore, she could not be the least bit careless.
Originally, Wei Wei already dressed up as a pregnant woman, however, after looking at this way and that, her heart seemed to faintly feel somewhat unsettled.
How about…just showing her true self to people?
The corners of Wei Wei’s mouth slowly pulled off a trace of a slight smile.
She increasingly felt that this plan wasn’t bad. This face of hers was too dark, so she was too noticeable.
If she restored her appearance to its original state, then it’d become the most natural camouflage.
Because everybody thought that the most unprincipled young lady in the capitol was indeed a really ugly girl.
Who’d ever thought that one day, she could be astonishingly good-looking.
Wei Wei stood up and used the remainder of the time to take the strawberries picked from the Celestial Boundary Space and spread them all on her face. Those darkened areas miraculously seemed as if they dropped off from her face while white skin which seemed as if they broke through shells, were as white as egg whites. Bright, sparkling, and translucent under the moonlight, so much so that it scattered the moonlight and emitted a faint radiance.
The tall and straight, delicate bridge of her nose, her red colored lips devoid of any bit of makeup, also that pair of bright eyes shining like the moon, every aspect was just right, just perfect. Her appearance was tender and beautiful, her manners refined, just like a goddess from the heavens who’d descended upon the world. That fair little face contained a trace of pureness, coldness, and arrogance, yet almost precisely because of this, it appeared that she exuded even more of a mysterious and enchanting charm.
If one were to say that Helian Jiao Er’s beauty caused men to feel that they wanted to take her and hold her at their heart to love dearly.
Then Wei Wei’s beauty, instead, shockingly captivated a person’s soul and absorbed a person’s mind, could be as light-hearted as a young lady, yet also could be as indifferent as a queen.
Who genuinely was the capital’s number one beauty,
With only a look at this face of Wei Wei’s, and people would naturally be able to distinguish in their hearts.
However, as Wei Wei had said herself, there wasn’t anyone who could possibly call to mind that this kind of young lady could be the capital’s infamous good-for-nothing girl…
