A gust of wind blew around her, and as if it had a life of its own, it lifted her hair and whirled her robes up. The servant girl seemed to not have expected them to turn around and appeared taken aback, she then straightened up her waistband and regained her composure. Although she was only young, she had certainly learnt her master’s arrogance.
“Woman, is this not your your scheming younger sister’s servant girl? Why is she following you?” Yuan Ming smirked from within the Celestial Boundary Spatial Space. Helian Wei Wei did not speak. She held up her umbrella, and the sight was beautiful as the cherry blossoms fell.
Although the servant girl felt uncomfortable, she did not forget her master’s instructions. She took a step forward and said to Helian Wei Wei: “Miss, which fragrant pavilion are you from?”
“Which fragrant pavilion are you from?” Helian Wei Wei repeated the question, staring icily at the servant girl.
It was a pity that perhaps the servant girl was too used to the comforts and riches by the side of Helian Jiao Er, that she looked down at everyone else around her, let alone a prostitute. “If you don’t wish to tell me, I won’t force it.” The servant girl said haughtily. ” I have banknote of 10 000 yuan here. My lady said that you can have it if you reveal the secret to your beautiful skin.”
“Oh, it turns out that people have come to buy you. Woman, your market value is still doing well.” Yuan Ming said chuckling away.
Helian Wei Wei took a glance at the banknote: “10 000 yuan?”
The servant girl assumed that Helian Wei Wei had never seen so much money before in her life and said haughtily “That’s right.” She did not expect what happened next. Helian Wei Wei smiled with amusement and laughed “10 000 yuan is such a small amount, I can’t believe your lady would even offer it. It might be enough to buy a servant girl like you.”
“You!” The servant girl was infuriated. She could not believe this lowly woman would dare raise her voice at her who was a servant from the Defence Division. She sneered “Do you know who I am? So you want to do things the hard way then!”
Helian Wei Wei looked at the servant girl with indifference as she ranted on. Unlike Helian Wei Wei’s mocking laughter, the servant girl’s warnings had no effect whatsoever, instead it was more like a superfluous noise. Realising this, the servant girl shouted loudly, without a care for any consequences “How much do you actually think you are worth? You are just an old hag. Old granny, I am talking to you but you act like you can’t hear what I have said.”
Helian Wei Wei looked at her, suddenly smiled, and SMACK! A slap in her face!
The servant girl shook with anger, held her cheek incredulously, her face contorted with rage, her eyes glared straight ahead and shouted “You dare hit me, you actually dare to hit me! You slut!”
SLAP!
Helian Wei Wei raised her hand again, her smile was chilling, cold and mesmerising: “I have slapped you, so what?”
“You! I want to kill you!” The servant girl had completely lost control, with her teeth blaring she leapt towards Helian Wei Wei. She looked like she was not going to stop until she was dead.
Helian Wei Wei smiled, the frostiness in her eyes emerged slowly, and her usually bright eyes looked cold and chilling. Suddenly, her fingers moved through the air, like a butterfly dance, drawing a curved line which cut through the air.
SWISH!
Her sharp fingers held the servant girl’s neck firmly. Her movements were so fast the servant girl barely had time to react. By the time the servant girl recovered from her shock, blood was already dripping from a cut. “I need only use the littlest of force, and i can cut your arteries open.” Helian Wei Wei held the umbrella with one hand, and with the other she held a silver knife to the servant girl’s neck. As the wind blew, it lifted her hair, and her smile was like the devil: “By then, it won’t just be your face hurting, your blood will spray out all at once everywhere. If you dare call me a slut again, I promise you will die a very quick death.”
The servant girl did not dare shout anymore, her legs trembled, paralysed in fear, her face paled and she crumbled into a heap on the floor.
Helian Wei Wei looked at her with indifference and tore up the bank note with her long slender fingers. “Go home and tell your lady that I was born beautiful and she can’t learn to that. As for the money, don’t think that just because she is Helian Jiao Er and has money and power, she can lay claim to anything. She should teach her servants better, or else they will get slapped all the time.”
As the torn pieces of banknote fell to the ground, the servant girl stared at the back of Helian Wei Wei disappearing in the distance. She touched the cut on her neck and a sense of fear rushed through her. She did not think that woman could be so powerful. She did not even use any weapons and was able to suppress her. As Helian Jiao Er’s close servant girl, she is knows Martial Qi, and yet at the most crucial moment she could not even defeat someone who is is not trained in Martial Qi. Who on earth was this woman?
She ran through the long alley, her face still pale with fear, her hands still holding her neck, afraid to let go.
“My Lady.”
Helian Jiao Er turned and saw her servant girl clothes stained with blood, looking disheveled. Before anyone noticed, she pulled her aside quickly, frowning, she asked “What happened?”
The servant girl told her everything that had just happened without missing out any detail. Her face contorted with anger, “I have never seen such a savage woman!”
Helian Jiao Er did not speak, obviously infuriated. She tried to hold in her anger, but she finally exploded and kicked her servant girl in the chest. “You useless thing!”
The already injured servant girl collapsed to the ground from the brutal kick, writhing in excruciating pain. However, no one witnessed what had just happened. When Helian Jiao Er turned around, she had already regained her usual dainty, innocent composure and walked into the crowd of people like an outstanding well-bred young lady. All she could think of was the thousands of ways she could could rip that woman to pieces once she had found her, and her eyes could not hide the jealousy she felt.
As a mother, naturally Madam Su already knew she had to step in. She got someone to take the servant girl away and walked over to Helian Jiao Er. Tapping her hand gently, she said “How many times has mother told you, nothing is more important than the Martial Qi competition. Why do you care about a girl from the countryside? Just wait, once the auction starts, everyone will know that only you are the perfect match!”
