Very obviously, Baili Jia Jueâs arrival changed the entire banquetâs atmosphere.
The principal didnât appear at all this time, so Minister Jing was left responsible for the whole banquet.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Many teachers were wondering in their minds if the principal was going to fall into disgrace.
They said that this was a consort selection, and yet Third Prince didnât seem to be expressing much interest.
Eunuch Sun was the person who kept up the facade. He didnât need Baili Jia Jue to open his mouth to have already taken care of everything. He was reserved while accompanying Minister Jing.
Minister Jing originally was going to strike up a conversation with Baili Jia Jue, yet when he saw the person, he actually became a bit timid.
He certainly wasnât a rookie who hadnât experienced grand occasions. However, in front of this young prince, he didnât know why, but there surprisingly was an indescribable kind of oppressive feeling.
Within the entire banquet, the seatings for men and women were divided into sides. On the left side sat only those prestigious young masters from the Superior Compound, while on the right side sat the young ladies from distinguished families.
In modern times, we would call this a high society dinner party.
What should we be doing at a dinner party?
It would be to eat, of course!
But none of them were moving their chopsticks, and this made Wei Wei feel very conflicted.
The point of her coming here was for a free meal, yet she hadnât even eaten a bite of appetizer. Thatâs just too much of a disappointment.
However, before she was too disappointed, a child who was sitting in his chair stood up. With his little body, he cutely and forcefully said, âMaster Jing, when will we start the meal, Iâm hungry.â
Everybodyâs gaze instantly focused on that little kidâs body.
Aside from those young lords and young ladies who were fellow students from the Superior Compound, all of the new students revealed a surprised expression.
They havenât forgotten who the little kid was.
At the time they entered the academy, he even held a meat bun while he sent someone flying with a kick.
However, that wasnât whatâs important. The crucial point is, how did he have the guts to pick at Master Jingâs thorn at the moment!
Even if he had the Superior Compound as support, he was still a bit too undisciplined, wasnât he?
Originally, Eunuch Sun was going to ask where did this brat come from to be so poor at judging the situation. Yet when he laid eyes on him, his hand shook so much he almost dropped the thing he was holding.
That, wasnât that, wasnât that His Little Highness?
How could he be here?
Mama help me, whatâs up with that bald head?
What happened to His Little Highnessâ silky black hair? !
Where did it go, where did it all go? !
The little guy didnât care one bit about the looks people were giving him. His legs that were as chunky as a lotus root stuck out from his white martial arts practice clothes. His chubby cheeks seriously asked again, âWhen in the world are we going eat? If itâs going to be later, Iâm going into the kitchen first before coming back.â
Eunuch Sun:....
Boo hoo hoo, after His Little Highness came to White Academy, he was allowed to become so shamefully hungry!
That wonât do, no can do. When he returned to the palace this time, he must take His Little Highness back with him!
Minister Jing saw how Eunuch Sun was always frowning as he looked at the little boy, and thought it was because he disliked how rude the little child was. He instantly became more energetic.
Previously, he was already unhappy when he saw Tusu Feng bring this Little Bald Head. Why not take advantage of the opportunity this time to show him whoâs the boss.
Minister Jing narrowed his eyes, and expressed annoyance on the surface. âKong Chen, sit down.â
Having heard that, the boyâs chubby handsome face frowned and bunched up, but he actually didnât sit down in accordance with Minister Jingâs instruction at all, and instead stood there. His body earnestly conveyed that he really wanted to eat!
Having been contradicted like this, Minister Jing felt like he lost face so badly, his old face couldnât be shown anymore. He was so angry, he almost stood up!
Helian Jiao Er, Fang Ting Ting, and Helian Mei, upon seeing this, one after another, glanced at each other while laughing lightly, âThis little fellow apprentice, you should really sit down first. If you keep on standing, then youâll be impolite. At that time, even the academy president will be troubled.â
âListen to us older sisters. This kind of function really canât allow for tempers.â Helian Jiao Er followed after and said, âLuckily, Minister Jingâs temper is good. If his temper wasnât good, you wouldâve already been punished.â
The two peopleâs words sounded like they were helping the little kid out of a predicament, but in reality, they were taking Minister Jingâs place in criticizing this trash who failed to appreciate someoneâs kindness.
He was but a disciple who the academy president brought, yet heâd run rampant within the academy. Even if his qi was more powerful, he shouldâve been supervised and disciplined by someone early on, so that when he got older, he wouldnât ignore everybodyâs instructions. If they gave him this lesson now, it would also make him know who really was the boss at this White Academy!
His fellow apprentice brothers and sisters from the Superior Academy wouldnât say anything. Firstly, they were playing it safe. Secondly, they knew that somebody the academy president brought would absolutely not be simple.
In the beginning, all of the martial uncles within the academy were beaten up all over by him. Even though they didnât know who he was, but they could guess roughly that he most likely came from an influential family. He also had an eighty to one hundred percent chance of being an heir of a great clan.
Because ever since the first day they entered the academy, this little guy was already raised at White academy, and very few people knew of it.
This really wasnât something an ordinary person could do, unless he had an extremely illustrious background.
However, his illustrious background was now useless. Itâs Minister Jing who was displeased. They could not go and offend a prestigious and universally respected instructor within the academy for the sake of a little boy.
The little guy looked left and right. The more his little face stretched, the tighter it became. His hungry tummy left him very little patience. Even his ears also followed and drooped down, the first sign that he was about to go beserk.
As Eunuch Sun looked on, his heart painfully weeped, yet didnât know how to open his mouth. He could only turn to give his master a fierce and meaningful glance.
Baili Jia Jueâs was playing with his ring with lowered eyes, without appearing the least bit anxious.
When Eunuch Sun saw this, he knew it was the end!
Itâs not the end of His Little Highness, rather itâs the end for the Jing family and the rest of them!
Eunuch Sunâs attention hadnât turned back over here when a cold voice was heard rising from the ground. It didnât contain any feeling whatsoever, âHis tummy is hungry. Of course he needs to eat. Moreover, the boy was in fact not just mildly hungry. He only needed to eat a bit of food, and you guys make such a fuss saying this and that. Did you feel that because the principal isnât here, you can then bully this little fellow student?â
It was Wei Wei. She was standing behind the little guy. Her left hand was languidly resting on the little guyâs shoulder.
She sharply swept a glance over everybody. Finally, her eyes rested Minister Jingâs body, âMinister Jing, you werenât really thinking that, were you, hmm?â
Minister Jingâs face turned white from being looked at by that kind of gaze!
Helian Jiao Er came over to say, âOldest Sister, why did you accuse Minister Jing unjustly. I think he absolutely didnât have this intent.â
âDidnât have this intent?â Wei Wei laughed out loud and raised her brows, âThen I would like to ask Younger Sister instead. Since he didnât want to take advantage of the fact that the principal isnât here to bully little student brother, then what were you guys doing just now?â She only believed in her own fierce heart and lazy hands. She wonât shrink from committing any deeds. If other people hit her once, she would definitely return it tenfold. This time, her objective in coming to the banquet was very clear. Itâs to satisfy the head count. Not to participate in any planning or scheming whatsoever. Itâs just that she truly could not continue to look at a crowd of people sneering at a little stuffed bun (*endearing way to refer to a chubby little guy). They really can even run their mouths at a little boy.
Helian Jiao Er was stifled by her words to the point of feeling vexed, and didnât know how to refute them, so she just simply didnât utter a sound.
This could also be counted as an accidental harvest.
Earlier, she was trying to exasperate that slut, yet the slut hadnât fallen into the trap.
Now, unexpectedly, Wei Wei was standing up for a little piece of trash instead. This wasnât something she anticipated.
However, what the Third Prince detested the most was people who couldnât judge the situation.
She actually wanted to see what sorry end this little slut would be a part of!
Helian Jiao Er hung her head. Her eyes flashed a bit sinisterly. Even if that slut had made some progress, so what. Wasnât she still the same as before and didnât know what she should say at what time. A lifetime of being spoiled couldnât be changed no matter how. This, then, was destined to be that slutâs Achillesâ heel.
Minister Jing, as if heâs also grasped this point firmly, carried an elderâs attitude as he said, âHelian Wei Wei is talking nonsense! I only asked him to sit down, so as to avoid him offending the Third Prince.â
After Baili Jia Jue heard these words, he finally lifted his eyes and very slowly, very very slowly glanced at Minister Jing...
