Whenever Helian Wei Wei heard the word "financial backer", the corner of her mouth automatically curved. Without any fuss and with absolute loyalty, she declared, "If you need help in the future, just let me know."

"OK." Baili Jia Jue's thin lips quirked up. His thoughts unknown, his face bewitching.

"Oh, that's right." Helian Wei Wei put the umbrella down. "Where did you go yesterday? I looked for you for half a day, since I wanted to go watch the armament auction together."

Baili Jia Jue paused. He answered a question with another question, "Armament auction? What armament auction?"

Standing by his side, Shadow sighed heavily. Your Highness, that's enough already. Obviously, you participate in that armament auction.

Did you forget? You even gave a pile high of those armaments as betrothal gifts for the princess. But as a result, she ignored you instead.

Baili Jia Jue swept an indifferent glance in his direction.

Shadow immediately stood ramrod straight, his expression wooden.

Helian Wei Wei marvelled at this pair of master and retainer. "You haven't heard of the Profound Heaven's auction?

"I stayed home the whole time recently." Baili Jia Jue told the truth, these two days he cooped up at the palace. He thought of ways to look down on his prey and to tear her claws off.

Only...

This obviously lead those who heard it get ambiguous ideas.

It's possible that he's really a two-faced, black-bellied one.

Helian Wei Wei also did not pester him anymore and only said that she would bring him there later.

Baili Jia Jue listened calmly. When he was about to send Shadow out, sounds announcing a good news rang out from afar.

"Congratulations, Miss Wei Wei, congratulations!"

Congratulations?

Helian Wei Wei turned round. She saw a lady clothed in a matchmaker garb stood at the academy's gate. The lady's dress was pretty nice looking and her hair was decorated with a dangling ornament. When she spotted Helian Wei Wei, she hurried toward her. "Miss Wei Wei, it's a joyous occasion, truly joyous event!"

Helian Wei Wei knew that woman. She was the capital's well-known matchmaker, granny Zhang. She could manage anything as long as you have money. Through her hands, many young girls were ruined. One example among many, she duped those girls' parents to let them marry old men.

When she and Murong Changfeng got engaged, this lady came frequently to the Defense Division in the guise of advising her. In reality, it was thanks to this woman that her engagement was called off early. Originally, it was also through her that the Murong family issued so many conditions. For what purpose did this hired thug come running to the White Academy today?

"How do I not know of this joyous occasion you are speaking about?" Helian Wei Wei narrowed her eyes. A lightning chill streaked across her pupils.

The matchmaker was unaware that the current Helian Wei Wei was different from before. She thought Wei Wei only acted more calm and cool-headed, not as stupid as before, and said, "I only received the news of this wedding just a moment ago. So how would Miss Wei Wei know? There is no hindrance, so I am here to give you the news in advance. The Lord will arrive in a while."
