As she dropped her head, her pretty, lightly blushed face seemed like a lotus bud that was just about to blossom. Her pretty eyes were bright as they looked at Baili Jia Jue. Her eyelashes were as dark as ink.
Itâs just that Helian Jiao Er didnât know that the person in front of her wasnât any other person, but was instead His Highness the imperial son who had never been interested in beautiful women before.
Any attractive woman facing him basically would be totally ignored by him.
Using Nangong Lieâs words, âIf a certain highness wanted to look at a beautiful face, he just needs to look at a mirror everyday. Anyone else really canât compare, be it male or female.â
However, strangely, this time Baili Jia Jue surprisingly looked at Helian Jiao Erâs face and lingered for quite a while.
Helian Wei Wei knitted her shapely eyebrows. She didnât think that this guy would be someone who looked at the face and not the heart. If he was just like other people, then this rice didnât need to continue to be eaten. In other words, their relationship didnât need to continue.
The longer Baili Jia Jue looked at Helian Jiao Er, the more satisfied Helian Jiao Erâs face appeared. A nice looking pink surfaced on her pair of cheeks while her heart pounded. She was going to open her mouth again.
When she noticed Baili Jia Jue supporting his chin with his palm. He earnestly knitted his brow and spoke neither hastily nor slowly, âWho are you?â
His tone sounded nice, mildly cool and indolent, and carried a distinctive gracefulness.
Making everyone who heard it feel that it was a delight.
However!
Who are you?
Who are you!
Who are you ! ! ? ?
Having heard these three words, Helian Jiao Erâs little face âswishâ was instantly drained of all color as her pair of hands rigidly gripped and wrung her handkerchief. The bashful eyes which were gazing in Baili Jia Jueâs direction now became dumbfounded. Finally unable to bear it, she wished that she could just turn and leave!
Wei Wei was also stunned. She turned her head and looked at Baili Jia Jueâs wickedly smiling face.
This guy must still remember Helian Jiao Er. Itâs because he remembered her that he purposefully asked that way!
Amazing, too impressive!
If there werenât so many people around, Wei Wei wouldâve really wanted to give him a thumbs up and some praise.
Such beguilement and shrewdness was not easily seen whether in ancient or modern times!
Baili Jia Jue naturally noticed the way Wei Wei looked at him. He turned towards her and curved his lips as bewitching coldness radiated from him.
For a minute, Wei Wei wondered if she had better distance herself a bit further from this guy.
Afterall, he being too clever was dangerous.
Baili Jia Jue was very high leveled. He only glanced at that âlittle foxâs appearance and already knew what she was thinking. He withdrew the smiling expression and filled his eyes instead with a completely clueless look, âWhatâs going on?â
âNothing.â Wei Wei felt she must be thinking too much. It was probably because during the first time she met this guy, the sense of a crises was too strong. Thatâs why she was constantly on guard against him. After careful consideration, this guy still seemed to be not bad. She should not have ideas about people, âEat a bit more. If you donât know her, then donât worry about it.â
âAlright.â Baili Jia Jue replied indifferently. Within his lowered gaze was a bit of surprise. He didnât expect that heâd already pretended to this extent, yet this âlittle thingâ still had doubts about him.
Abandon it?
Heh, howâs that possible.
The more cunning the prey was, the more satisfaction one would feel when taming it.
Baili Jia Jue curved his thin lips. On his face hung a shining smiling expression. He intended to be like a marshal who sat in a command tent to dictate and be in control of everything. Therefore, he had enough patience to wait.
No one had so much difficulty enduring as Helian Jiao Er. She only felt that everyone in the cafeteria was staring at her, including her friends from the Superior Compound, those girls from influential families. Helian Jiao Er had grown up to this age, yet this was the first time sheâd lost so much face!
This made Helian Jiao Er so angry even her hands were shaking. She absolutely had no idea how to vent her anger!
âSecond Sister, what is there to say between you and this guy who canât even afford a studentâs hat.â Helian Mei had stayed at the Defense Department for such a long time. Even if she was stupid, she still knew that she must talk to help rescue Heilian Jiao Er from her predicament at this time. She glanced at Wei Wei with disdain, âTheyâre just traveling the same road to the grave.â
Helian Jiao Er, having received Helian Meiâs message, immediately changed to appear like someone who felt wronged, âI, I only saw that this young sir dressed so shabbily, thatâs all. Nothing else. Our backgrounds are not the same. I was too meddlesome.â
Shabby?n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Wei Weiâs elegant eyebrows knitted together. Itâs enough that they spoke about her. Now, even the person by her side was sneered at. Did they really think she wouldnât get angry?
Wei Wei pinched the bamboo chopsticks in a vertical position, as a thread of viciousness streaked across her righteous pupils.
But just then, Master Jing Wu Wang from the Superior Compound arrived at the cafeteria accompanied by Eunuch Sun. When he heard the word âshabbyâ, he was so spooked he almost threw away the horsetail whisk in his hand!
Jing Wu Wang looked absolutely strange, âEunuch Sun, what do think? Do you feel that this cafeteria in the academy is not good? In regards to this, Eunuch Sun should rest assured. Wait until the Third Prince arrives.There will be a specialized chef to prepare imperial family quality food for His Highness.â After having spoken, he stroked his white beard and laughed, âActually, Eunuch Sun, you didnât have to come up here personally. With me supervising this place, there wouldnât be any problems.â
â.....â
Eunuch Sun wanted to cry but had no tears.
[You think I was willing to come here, boo hoo, Iâd accompanied the imperial troops at the foot of the mountain and waited one whole day. Waited until now, yet that person had now appeared wearing a black gown made of plain cloth mixed within a crowd of students.]
As soon as he entered the hall, the pit of his stomach totally shivered, ok? After swallowing two pills at once to steady his heart, only then did he not lose control and scream out loud!
How did His Highness, who should be staying inside the palace, appear here? How come he couldnât even send a greeting. Hey, hello!
He wasnât even prepared in the least. He hadnât finished seeing academyâs layout, and also hadnât gone to where the President was. The Retired Emperor still had time....in short, how come f*cking d*mn it that no one reported to him that Third Prince already entered White Academy. And even came as an âordinary studentâ ! ! !
So could he now return to the palace and report to Retired Emperor that he already found Third Prince? !
After thinking to this point, Eunuch Sunâs entire body became excited and was just about to advance when he was stopped in his tracks by a single casual glance from Baili Jia Jue!
Within that extremely cold gaze, a monstrously chilly and unsympathetic warning fully issued forth.
Eunuch Sun was such a smart person. Sigh, he had spent most of half of his life within the palace, his masterâs every word and deed, even if he couldnât guess 100%, he could still see through 70% of them.
Right now, His Highnessâ intention clearly was to want him not to approach...
âEunuch? Eunuch Sun?â Jing Wu Wang saw him blanking out and gazing into the distance. He couldnât help but fling his gaze over to where Eunuch Sunâs line of sight was, afterwhich he contentedly laughed, âThe one Eunuch Sun is looking at is actually the Helian familyâs genius young daughter? Right now, sheâs already become my official disciple.â
Originally, Eunuch Sun was still worried about how to pretend that he hadnât seen His Highness when this teacher from the Superior Compound found a good cover for him.
He ha ha, he laughed and nodded his head, forcing himself to retrieve his gaze away from His Highnessâ person, and answered along, âI had previously heard about the Helian familyâs second daughter who was as beautiful as a deity, and had a lovely disposition, unlike girls from ordinary families. Having seen her today, sure enough, sheâs out of the ordinary. Master really is fortunate, having accepted a disciple with boundless prospects.â
âYouâre too kind.â Promptly making a gesture of hopelessness, while the smile on his face didnât reduce in the slightest, âThis child is actually very bright. When the time for the consort selection comes around, Iâll still look to Eunuch Sun to keep an eye on her a bit more.â
Hearing the two words âconsort selectionâ, everybody within the cafeteria turned and looked over. Among them, Helian Wei Wei was also included......
