The Anarchic Consort
chapter-283

The night fell upon Murong Residence.

“Changfeng, do you understand that your main goal is to protect Lady Yun’s identity when you go back to the academy this time around?” The person speaking, was none other than Empress Murong.

Murong Changfeng’s gaze shifted slightly, “Rest assured, Aunt. I’m clear about everything.”

“Alright then.” Empress Murong smiled, but in her eyes, you could see that she was plotting something. “My royal son is still too young, but that bastard’s influence is getting stronger day by day. With Lady Yun as a restriction, it should be able to eliminate his right-hand man.”

Certainly, Murong Changfeng knew who this bastard was, but he did not really mind about all these, instead, he asked, “Aunty, so from what you said, this Lady Yun is enrolled into the academy already?”

“Of course she has been accepted.” Empress Murong lifted the teacup beside her, blew aside the tea leaves, and said, “This woman is not as simple as you think she is. She has reached the Gold League at a very young age, and above all, she forged a really good martial practice. Well, she ought to be outstanding since she was brought up alongside the bastard, and on top of that, the bastard was extraordinarily good to her. It was said that she is just a servant, but in actual she has led a much better life than most ladies in the Capital. To her, the White Academy’s tests should be as easy as pie.”

Murong Changfeng muttered, “She even knows how to form martial arts…”

“All the things that Helian Wei Wei is capable of doing, she is too.” Empress Murong smirked maliciously. “She is good at what Helian Wei Wei is incapable of too. So, it’s more than perfect to place her at the White Academy. The people in Helian’s family have been so arrogant, they will soon lose everything that they’ve got. You don’t have to worry, Changfeng. Aunt knows that the brat from Helian’s family has embarrassed you many times before. I will definitely let them pay for everything!”

Murong Changfeng did not say a word; he was a little distracted.

But Empress Murong did not notice it at all. She was so into her thoughts that she could not help grinning, imagining that there would be good news for her very soon.

The night wind grew stronger, but it was calm and peaceful at the hilltop.

There were curfews in the academy, so as soon as it turned dark, the exit leading downhill would be closed.

The White Academy had its reasons for being the most renowned academy for so many years; it was all because of its strict regulations.

There were even rules during seasons for lantern festivals. After the students returned to the academy, the grandmaster along with a few masters would be there to maintain order.

During the last semester, Helian Wei Wei had to do everything by herself. Now that she had help from Qing Zhan, her progress was way faster.

The bathroom was still the same, but Helian Wei Wei already knew the way around the place so she would not get lost so easily anymore. Thinking back, there was where she ran into His Highness when he was showering, because she could not differentiate the male bathrooms from the female’s.

Remembering it now, His Highness’ body was actually very fit. The charm that was so captivating, making it hard to find the second one in the world.

Later in the future, she could draw a portrait of His Highness while he was sleeping, and then sell the drawing. It would cost a fortune.

Huge profits with small capital.

They had already married anyway.

Whatever she did could be like what he said, as a means to adapt herself.

Helian Wei Wei was in a good mood after she made up her mind. She took her nightgown and went into the bathroom. The way she undressed had an aura that spoke of her handsome look, it was probably because she was so used to being a secret agent. With a slight tug on the laces, her robe fell as she strolled, and finally rested in a pool on the ground.

As the bamboo trees swayed in the wind, Helian Wei Wei soaked herself in the hot spring pool and recalled the scenes in her dream the other day. Her gaze deepened.

Her eyes narrowed as she went through the possible candidates that belonged to that woman in her mind.

All of a sudden her eyes widened, and it was as clear as crystal.

It was because of nothing else, but Yuan Ming who was warning her using telepathy, “Someone is here!”

Helian Wei Wei reached out her hand, and soon covered herself with a towel. With her slim, white legs, she stepped out of the hot spring pool, barefooted on the greenish stone floor. Holding onto an umbrella, she appeared as graceful as the queen.

“Ah!” The girl who was about to enter shrieked as if she was totally unaware that someone was inside. The girl coughed, “I’m so sorry, I didn’t know you’re using the bathroom.”

Helian Wei Wei looked at her, and puckered her lips, “It’s alright.”

Then, the girl lifted her head. Her face was as small as a palm, and she had an alluring scent. She also had bright eyes, and there was a ravishing look to them, making it hard to not stare at her.

She had very fair skin, and long, knee-length black hair. She looked surreal and fragile, like a magnolia flower bud, so clean and innocent. Just by looking at her, one would have the desire to embrace her and give her all the love.

“I’ll be waiting outside. I’ll come in once you’re dressed.” The girl beamed and politely turned around to leave.

Helian Wei Wei held the nightgown in her hands, and with a spin, the piece of cloth draped around her.

Yuan Ming teased, “This girl isn’t so bad, her martial Qi value is pretty high, and she looked really innocent. Moreover, look at you, woman, don’t you think that you need to be more gentle to me in the future?”

“The way I’m treating you now have raised your concern, thinking if I’m in love with you. If I am ever gentle to you, haha, you’d better be worried that I might want to marry you.” Helian Wei Wei responded nonchalantly as she retracted her gaze.

Yuan Ming scoffed, “You’re just jealous of her. I can understand your feelings though, seeing someone who is more feminine than you, for certain you envy her.”

“So now you can even understand how a girl feels.” With her slender fingers, Helian Wei Wei tightened her robe, and let out a wicked laugh, “Yuan Xiaoming, are you going to say ‘we girls’ next? I’ve known you for so long, but I didn’t realize that you’re a woman.”

After being made fun of by Helian Wei Wei, Yuan Ming’s face turned somewhat red, yet he chuckled, “Actually if you just clean that black stain on your face, you will look prettier than her.”

“Thanks a lot, you judgemental freak.” Helian Wei Wei gave the door a push and strode out. The girl was still out there, looking delicate even in the moonlight.

The girl saw Helian Wei Wei coming out, and held out her hand, “Is this yours?”

Helian Wei Wei peered at the sandalwood bead in the palm of the girl’s hand, she had brought it along with her from the bedroom. She wanted to tie it around her neck as an insect repellent. That was why Baili Jiajue had tonnes of it in his bedroom.

It probably fell off when she was taking off her clothes.

Helian Wei Wei gave a faint smile. “Thanks.”

“You’re welcome,” the girl spoke softly. With her head up, she fixed her gaze at Helian Wei Wei. “There are some things that you ought to be careful not to lose them because once they’re lost, it would be hard to get them back.”
