The Anarchic Consort [ Chapter 1 - 199 ]

Chapter 14: Ghost Palace Bears Grudges

Yuan Ming was extremely excited, “Girl, this plan you’ve thought up is a bit ruthless, but, this venerable one likes it, ha ha ha ha!”

“It’s good if you like it.” Helian Wei Wei’s tone was indifferent as she retracted her gaze, turned around and strolled over to her own dwelling.

Yuan Ming rubbed and rubbed his chin, “If they knew that not only did you not get kicked out, and instead, you even won one hundred thousand silvers, who knows what expression those two stupid people would reveal?”

“True, who knows . . . . .” The tip of Wei Wei’s tongue licked over her thin lips, she indescribably appeared like a bloodthirsty demoness.

Yuan Ming laughed while his tilted face was propped up, ha ha, he looked forward to it. . . . . really looked forward to it. . . . . .

“Minister Helian, is this your family’s eldest miss?” The one who was talking was a man with a commanding demeanor sitting next to Helian Guang Yao, this man was none other than the one who just came out of closed door meditation, Nangong Lie. He gently turned the white jade tea cup in his hand, he pondered over something as a glint quickly flashed in his eyes.

But the impatient Helian Guang Yao did not discover it, and he even thought Nangong Lie came today to prosecute her, he asked with an especially respectful attitude, “High Priest is laughing at us, this daughter of mine has a rude temper, doesn’t understand manners, and even offended Third Prince. In my opinion, she should be thrown into the dungeons and be properly disciplined!”

Having heard that, Nangong Lie’s long, narrow, clear, and bright phoenix eyes bent into a tepid sneer, everyone said that Helian Guang Yao was benevolent towards people and an outstanding person that was hard to come by. Yet, he truly hadn’t previously met someone who, for their own sake, would throw their own daughter into the fiery pit of hell.

Ahh, it seemed that rumors really could not be believed.

Nangong Lie flicked his sleeve, put down the teacup that he was holding, and replied, “Minister Helian, it appears you’re being too sensitive, His Highness frankly did not intend to accuse Miss Helian.” It’d be a wonder if that family would seek revenge just for an angry look! “However, I just overheard the Misses Helian talking, seemed like they mentioned White Academy. What happened, was Miss Helian preparing to enter?” If this was really true, then there would be a good play to watch, he remembered that Ah Jue (Nangong Lie’s endearing way of calling Baili Jia Jue) had also agreed to return to the academy. When that time comes, ahh …..

Helian Guang Yao didn’t understand why Nangong Lie suddenly laughed such a devilish laugh, hearing him talk of White Academy, he intuitively thought that the one Nangong Lie asked about was Helian Mei, the daughter who he loved. He pretended to gently stroke his beard, yet he still couldn’t hide the satisfaction that hearing those words brought him, “I didn’t think that the High Priest had heard of this matter. My daughter has no talent, however, my friends in the capitol had been spreading the news, I am really ashamed, ashamed ahh!”

When Nangong Lie heard these words, he knew Helian Guang Yao misunderstood who was the person he was actually referring to. However, Nangong Lie still didn’t explain further, and just laughed devilishly and held the tea cup again. The corners of his lips slowly curved up, whatever the misunderstanding may be, it’s not important, what’s important was, in order to seduce Ah Jue’s little ‘kitten’, it’s necessary to know she if would be living in the same compound. Sure enough, it’s the movement of the Red Phoenix Star. It’s impossible to avoid that star even if one wanted to, ahh, things were progressing more and more interestingly. . . . .

At the other side, in the neglected courtyard, Helian Wei Wei had already handed over the silvers and was looking at the correspondence that White Academy quickly delivered to her, her willowy eyebrows lifted.
